Dr. Wright was willing to see me on New Year's Eve morning. I had an infected tooth - my first experience with that. It was not my first root canal. There was trouble getting a good x-ray of my very small mouth but he had no problem with the surgery and I was pain free - did not need the prescription. It was a most positive experience.

I had a root canal with Dr. Wright today. The office was spotless, the staff was friendly and helpful, and Dr. Wright was very professional. The procedure took about an hour and I felt no pain throughout. The worst thing was having my mouth and jaw open for that long, but that was minor compared to the pain I could have experienced. All in all it was a very comfortable experience considering that it was a root canal. I'm home now and still haven't felt any pain but the shots are wearing off and feeling is coming back to my lips and gums. Dr. Wright advised that any pain I may have could be tomorrow, and he advised me on the proper amount of ibuprophen to take. He also gave me a Rx for something stronger if I should need it, but I really don't think I will. After this experience, if I ever need another root canal, I will not hesitate to seek out Dr. Wright.

I do not know anyone who looks forward to a root canal. My first experience with this office was in the fall of 2014. I was super nervous as it was my first time ever needing major work done that was not wisdom teeth extraction and Dr. Wright and his staff were awesome. During my consult in the fall of 2014, we decided to go a conservative route with my molar instead of going straight for a root canal - was nice to not be told right away let's do a root canal as they are not cheap! I ended up needing the root canal and my favorite thing of the experience was Dr. Wright kept reassuring me that if I felt pain or needed a rest to let him know. He is very patient oriented. Fast forward to the fall of 2015 and guess what, I have another tooth issue, my dentist asked if I wanted to go back to Dr. Wright and I said yes. When I got there, it was nice to be asked how I was and we kidded around that I was making a habit out of being at his office. He had the same employees that he had during my previous visit and we chit chatted - it is nice to be treated like a person and not just a number or dollar signs. If I need more endodontic work done, you can bet that I will be back at his office!

This man acted like he was God, he caused me to lose the tooth he worked on, he lied about what he did (because he didn't actually do the work) and was very rude to me when I called and said I was having problems.

I strongly urge anyone to use another doctor. This man's staff made a simple mistake on billing my insurance. That is human. The problem is that once I pointed out their error and told them how to correct it, they still sent my account to an overly aggressive collections agency. I repeatedly called his staff and sent emails detailing the problem and the necessary steps to correct the problem. They simply referred me to the collection agency, who never answered the phone, returned calls, and could not fix the error that his staff had made on the insurance claim. Finally, after many phone calls and emails, I received confirmation from the insurance company that the claim had finally been filed correctly. I sent an email to his staff updating them on the status. I asked them to let me know when insurance paid and I'll settle up at that point. The next communication I had with them was a POLICE OFFICER showing up at my PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT serving a subpoena for this account.

I have had several root canals in my life. This was the easiest and most painless I have ever had. The office was efficient and helpful with filing my insurance. Dr Wright called me to check on me later that night and made sure my dentist knew what was going on. I am amazed by other responses as I can not say enough about my surgery. I hope I don't have to have this done again, but knowing my teeth I will. I will definately go back to Dr Wright and have encouraged two of my coworkers to do as well.

This man acted like he was too good to even look in my mouth, much less do the very expensive work I paid-up front-for him to do. I had to have the tooth cut out by an oral surgeon after this failed to correct the root canal problem I was sent to him to fix.
