The BEST Root Canal I have ever experienced! I didn't know it was over! I loved Dr. Kelly's kind manner and gentle touch. I know this may sound crazy but I had a great time while getting my root canal. :-) I was in and out and had no complications at all. The staff was very gracious and contacted me the next day to check in on my progress. This is the place to be for Root Canals!

Zero pain with the root canal. Dr. Kelley worked fast and I was in and out in no time. Highly recommend!

— Jenny N.
“Not sure what I did before discovering this Product. It’s super!”

I was referred here for a root canal but unfortunately my insurance company was not cooperating. The staff here was outstanding and literally tried everything to get relief for me from the excruciating pain I was in! Dr. Kelley was great even though he wasn't allowed to do the procedure bc of my stupid insurance company. I would recommend them to anyone!

— Taryn H.
As thoughtfully compassionate as he is highly-skilled, I give Dr. Kelley my highest recommendation for anyone facing a dreaded root canal. Especially those of us who consider advanced dentistry a bit nerve-wracking! I really appreciated the way Dr. Kelley explained each procedural step in advance. I’ve had two root canals handled by Dr. Kelley, and I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else, even if he was out-of-network... which is a high praise!

— Carie G.
I am very pleased with my root canal experience with Dr. Kelley. He was very calm and took his time. I felt no pain and was relaxed the entire time. He kept me informed as we moved through the process. If I ever need a root canal I would definitely use Dr. K again.
