Apex Endodontics, PC

Dr. Short is definitely passionate about root canals and he is a very nice doctor. Something doesn’t seem right about his front office staff and how they handle his business, but you can feel that out for yourself if you choose this practice. Nevertheless, based on my experience, if you need a root canal, I would recommend a more seasoned Endodontist who has handled cases across the spectrum, so that in the event of an unlikely complication, they’ll know what to do. Medicine is not a perfect science, which is why we must ALWAYS be on the offense. I think Dr. Short forgot that.

I was referred to Dr. Short by my dentist, because the roots of my back tooth were crazy and he didn’t feel comfortable performing the root canal himself. After the pain I had been enduring the previous couple of weeks, I couldn’t care less who performed the procedure. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Short and his staffs professionalism and patients to deal with my cheap, squeamish, hard to numb, sensitive self.
Being that it’s pretty hard to numb my gums, after what seemed like 99 shots later, the process began and it was quick easy and virtually pain free. The procedure was done on yesterday and after the pain medication they gave me before I exited, I have yet to take anything else and I feel fine. After I left the doctor’s office I went back to work and within a few hours the numbness was gone and it was just another day at the office from that point forward.
I would definitely recommend Apex Endodontics if you are in need of a root canal.

Excellent place, very professional, friendly, clean, and qualified! They made me feel safe, and took great care of my problem. I recommend this place, it is top notch! I give them 5 starts! :-D

My story starts with a tooth ache. After a few dentist appointments, several x-​rays and even a strong prescription of antibiotics… I found myself making an appointment with Apex Endodontics to schedule my first root canal. You can image my fear… since not only have I heard horror stories about root canals, but I also have a very low tolerance for pain. Needless to say… I called and was able to a make an appointment for the following day.
After making the appointment, the receptionist told me she would contact my insurance and find out how much my bill would be whether I had just a consult or went ahead and got the root canal on my first visit. I appreciated this since usually you’re not aware of fees until you’re at the doctor’s office. She called me back with the information before the end of the day. Now that’s fast service! She was also very helpful with answering questions I had about what to expect with my visit.
So…my story now takes us to the actual day of my procedure. Again, I was VERY nervous, but after my boyfriend practically pushed me into the dental chair, I was ok. The hygienist took a few x-​rays, asked me about my discomfort then within minutes Dr. Short was sitting next to me. He then did a few tests on my tooth and went over my x-​rays with me. He let me ask all the questions I had and after that we decided to move forward with the root canal. The next 45 minutes consisted of laughing gas, a lot of shots (after getting mostly numb beforehand), some drilling, some filing and WHAM BAM… we were done. Ok, I left out a few things, but Dr. Short talked me through the whole thing making sure I was comfortable and understood what he was doing. It wasn’t a day at the beach (I mean, c’mon…it’s still dental surgery), but it was a lot better and less painful than I thought it would be.
The next day… Dr. Short personally called me to follow up on how I was feeling. I appreciate that level of customer service.
Overall…if you need a root canal, then you NEED to get it done here. I promise you’ll be thanking me afterwards.

Excellent! Trust Me… Im a doctor!
