My husband and I visited Dr Glassman recently after being referred by Princess Margaret dental clinic. His staff was amazing from the beginning to end! But, we were delighted with the care and compassion Dr Glassman provided to us! He took the time to listen, to give us all the options we have, to educate us and most importantly, he treated us like family and not strangers! In the World we live in, it is very rare to meet such extraordinary individuals. We are very thankful to Dr Glassman for his kindness and he highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best endodontist , professional and human!!!

Dr Glassman is by far the best dentist I have ever visited. His knowledge and expertise is second to none and I would highly recommend him. He has given me hope that the issues I am dealing with can be addressed. He is kind and compassionate and gave me his personal cell number should I have any questions. In fact, he actually reached out to me directly after my procedure to ensure I was ok. Very impressed. Obviously a man who loves what he does!

Dr. Glassman is just the best! He has done several root canals for me over the past 20 (approx) years, and each time has been a great experience.....which is not something anybody normally ever says about having a root canal! This is an excellent dental office with state of the art equipment and facilities, a highly skilled staff, and truly exceptional endodontist in Dr. Glassman. Highly recommended!

I recently met with Dr Glassman and had a top-notch experience from start to finish. Dr Glassman was extremely kind and caring. Dr Glassman provided me with a clear explanation of my fractured tooth problem, as well as, expert recommendation of options and direction on next steps. Dr Glassman made me feel at ease given that this was a difficult situation for me. Throughout my appointment it was evident that Dr Glassman is an expert Endodontist and that I was in good hands. I was extremely pleased by Dr Glassman’s professionalism, attentiveness, expertise and his genuine care of his patients. I was warmly welcomed by the front desk staff, the assistant and Dr Glassman. I was listened to carefully and was able to ask questions, and was treated with the upmost respect. I never once felt rushed. Dr Glassman was a great listener and exceptional communicator. Dr Glassman even took the time to call me the following week to check up on me, and even remembered that I had an upcoming vacation that he hoped I had a good time at. I highly recommend Dr Glassman and would give a million+ stars rating if I could.

Once again, Dr. Glassman performed a root canal for me on a large molar that was cracked. The professionalism, efficiency and friendliness make what could be an unpleasant experience fast, pain-free and anxiety-free. And while Dr. Glassman prescribes pain medication to ensure the patient is comfortable after the procedure as well as during, I had no pain at all following my visit. The best of the best in my opinion!

Had a very infected tooth with quite a lot of pain. Dr. Glassman fixed me up and am now a very happy camper. Highly recommend him for a pain free experience and sometimes he sings too!

Dr. Glassman did a wonderful job with my root canal when I was 17 weeks pregnant. I discovered I needed a root canal by accident, when my family dentist noticed something about a tooth (which ended up dying at some point in the last year while I had no paid or other symptoms). I was hesitant to do a root canal and debated waiting until baby was born. In the end the decision not to wait was correct. Dr G confirmed I had an infection starting and that would have been even worse for the baby. I was also hesitant about Lidocaine, but after some research confirmed that it is a safe Class B drug for pregnancy (a safer Class A drug would be like nasal spray lol). Also baby has so many blood vessels at this point that any trace amount just passes thru. Also drink lots of water to flush it out after the procedure. Finally - xrays. I am no fan of ionizing radiation (including sunbathing) and I was freaking out about this the most. Luckily after research online I found a study from university of Hesinki analyzing xray doses (as they scatter, which is why assistants leave room) on fetus. The results for a simple molar xray were minuscule, a fraction of typical daily radiation. After a lead shield, the radiation was nil (reported in the report as “-“). The study even recommended no need for lead shields as they are useless. Blew my mind! Here is the study (not sure if they used digital or film probably digital as it is 2014 study): Radiation exposure to foetus and breasts from dental X-ray examinations: effect of lead shields. Good luck to all the pregnant mamas out there! And don’t let your root canal with this doc bother you in slightest.
