Part of that is taking our time with you. We understand that discovering you need root canal therapy can be upsetting, and we want to do everything in our power to help you relax and feel at ease again. You deserve to be treated with respect and understanding, and afforded a warm, calm, and soothing atmosphere especially when you are in pain.
I hope to never need another root canal but if I do...I will go right back to Doctor Bradford. My visit was easier than a tooth cleaning. I was totally comfortable and felt no pain and discomfort. I could have fallen asleep A. Saxon
Dr. Hank Bradford is an artist and engineer at heart. In fact, he holds a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Vanderbilt University. But more than anything, he dreamed of becoming a sculptor, and endodontics has fulfilled that dream. Endodontics is very tactileit is three dimensional in your mind when you are instrumenting, says Dr. Bradford. You can feel the curves of the canals. It really is like a sculpture.
Our patients appreciate his passion for his work because that passion manifests in perfectionism. Every root canal he performs is as important to him as the first one he ever did and he has performed thousands.
When I was looking for my new office site. I discovered that my great, great, great grandfather, William Marion Johnston, was laid to rest in the cemetery on Providence Road, only a half mile from my office. My other great, great, great grandfather, James Power, is buried only a few miles from my home at Paper Mill Road Baptist Church. Growing up here as a child, I had no idea that Johnson Ferry Road and Powers Ferry Road were named after my ancestors. A post office mistake dropped the t in his name. My family first came to Cobb County (Marietta) back in 1835. Dr. Hank Bradford
Dr. Bradford isnt just a highly-trained endodontist. He is deeply connected to his community and cares about his patients as friends and neighbors. Born and raised in East Cobb, a large suburb of Atlanta, Dr. Hank Bradford has profound ties to the area. He is proud to be part of the history of this great town and proud of the help he can offer his community.
Dr. Bradford is a perfectionist in terms of striving for excellence every time. This is going to be the best root canal you could get anywhere because he is going to give it 150%. Thats what I mean by a perfectionist. It isnt only about great patient care. It is about getting it just right. JANA, FRONT DESK
