Dr. Ward was excellent! The best root canal Ive had yet, as far as being painless, very well numbed, he explained what was going in every step in the way. Lastly, the procedure didnt even tank 1 hour! Very pleased!

Dr. Ward did not explain things to me as he was doing the procedure but the pain wasnt as bad as I expected and it was gone by the next day, so I appreciate his knowledge and skill and his pleasant personality.

Would absolutely recommend Dr. Ward because he showed me on the screen the situation that needed attention and explained the steps needed to take care of the situation and explained that In some cases there is a possibility that the work and reason it might not be able to be completed but each step went well and the root canal work was able to be completed as he explained It. Very kind and professional care.

He is relaxed and patient during the procedure, which put me well at ease during the process. While I wouldnt wish the necessity of a root canal on anyone, if you do need one, this is the team to choose.

Never ever having had a root canal previously, I was somewhat terrified of the procedure beforehand, especially considering its rather fearsome reputation. However, the dentist did such an excellent and thorough job of explaining each step of the procedure while he was performing it, that I was quickly put at ease and had all of my concerns allayed. This was especially appreciated, and in sharp contrast to many other dentists I have encountered who say little to nothing while they work, and make no effort to reassure the patient!

I know some people are very afraid of dental work.I would gladly recommend this team to anyone!

Rather than doing a root canal, the dentist recommended a tooth extraction. He made this based on the xrays and notes from the dentist without looking at my tooth. I wish this was communicated to me via phone before I took time off from work to come in and sit in the chair. Now I need to take mire time off from work next week for the extraction. Im fine with the extraction just feel my time and Dr. Wards time could have been utilized better.

Dr Ward was amazing. He was efficient. He was gentle with me and my anxiety with having root canals done. He stopped in between whatever he was doing and took x-rays to make sure he was doing everything correctly and on point. I did not feel a thing. For a root canal this was an exceptional experience. Thank you Dr Ward and staff for being wonderful.

I couldnt have been placed in better hands. Dr. Ward is eminently qualified and experienced in root canals. I would just say that it would be nice if he smiled--even just once. It would put patients at ease. Im sure he didnt mean to come off the way he did, but I felt like I was the last patient of the day, rather than the first--like he was a bit tired. Might just be his personality--low affect (?)--but thats a minor consideration considering the thorough job he did. Also, he had to deal with a polyp in one of my canals. He could not get around it to clean the entire canal.

I will never be a patient of Dr. Wards again, nor would I recommend him to another person. While in my follow up with my regular dentist he said that the procedure Dr. Ward did was done well, I had a terrible experience. While the rubber piece was over my tooth to protect from bacteria, they put a bite block in my mouth to keep it open. My gag relax went off (something I have no control over), and was met with a quite a bit of negativity. The dentist told me that if thats how I was going to be, I needed to keep my mouth open as wide as possible, if I wanted to get out of there in under 2 hours. You could barely keep your mouth open while I was giving you the numbing shots in a very condescending and rude tone. We carried on with the procedure after agreeing to keep the bite block out. During the part of the procedure of drilling out the tooth for the root canal, the dentist explained that there would be a lot of noise and screeching sounds, but to try not to jump. Once he started drilling, I could feel the nerve hit and jumped, he paused for a moment and started going again, to which I again felt. Clearly irritated, he just looked at me, until the dental assistant finally asked if I was feeling that, to which I replied yes. He then did some more numbing, and it was pretty smooth sailing after that. He was joking with the assistant and seemed to loosen up, but after the first 20-25 minutes of the appointment, I was not pleased.

I went in for a simple procedure that doctor ward set up and okayed after viewing my exrays. I got there and he started taking implants and crowns I didnt even know what he was talking about. I have had a tooth ache since November and have been seen three times in December and I still have a toothache. Doctor Ward said he misread my exrays he didnt see I had a post under my crown. So I will have to have tooth extracted but cant do it until January 12th. AND I still have a tooth ache. I will have tooth extracted but then will find a new dentist clinic.

I was extremely hesitant to getting a root canal, and the dr. took the necessary time to talk me through my concerns building my trust in him along the way.

I made this appointment with Dr. Ward specifically because of past experience with him when I needed a root canal. He is compassionate and sincere as well as skillful and professional. He is my first choice if I need this type of treatment.

I was given no explanation or education of how to care for my tooth after the procedure. I could tell the doctor was running behind schedule, but it would have been nice to at least leave knowing how to do oral care after such an extensive and invasive procedure that was new to me.

I delayed having my root canal for a year because of dislike for the former dentist doing them. Dr. Ward made the wait worthwhile. I hope if I ever have to have another one he is still on staff.

the dentists seem to be over-specialized in that they need to refer to one another for different procedures. Nothing gets completed in a single visit.

I was treated like a toot, NOT a person. The dr. & assistant talked over my head like I wasn't there. My obvious pain was brushed off and my warnings of failure to become numb were not properly addressed. Upon being reminded that I can't see x rays, the dr. quit his explanation of my problem w/root canal even though I asked him to continue giving a verbal explanation.

Reminded me NOT to use the floss they give for free, with gum disease I need to use a different kind. She is the first that told me that and it has improved my gum disease.
