The smoothest dental procedure I ever had! Visiting palm beach from Canada and with sudden pain , i searched for a endodontist with good reviews and nearby. Dr.Payne exceeded my Expectation. Not only was it an excellent work but she was so caring and very sensitive to any pain I could feel. This was from far the best experience I've ever had at a dentist office and I would come back from Canada to do a root canal with Dr Paynes.

WOW! Unbelievably awesome. Start with Michelle. Front office people make a dentist in my view and she's the best I ever seen. She makes something potentially painful into a pleasant peaceful experience. Takes her time treats every patient as her own. Dentists great even called me that afternoon to see how I was doing. For root canal, the best

Dr. Roud and his staff are absolutely amazing. I am a total baby when it comes to any dental work and they completely eased all of my fears. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything to you. I will recommend them to all of my family and friends. A big thank you to Michelle for being so nice and professional and getting me in quickly when I was in so much pain. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you, again!

I was referred to Dr. Payne for the reconstruction of a right lower root canal that was originally done while on Active Duty over 25 years ago. I am a CEO of a hospital and I see things through a lens that immediately aim to determine a providers commitment to quality and the overall experience, in this case, I was beyond impressed. Dr. Payne is a highly trained, incredibly talented endodontist that takes the time to explain every step of the process, she makes you feel safe and comfortable. If you are in need of the best, I highly recommended Dr. Payne, she is absolutely a #1 Draft Pick....

After a year of pain and endless attempts to fix one of my molars, I gave up and went for a consultation to Dr.Roud. Before that I had a phone consultation regarding insurance coverage. Their office staff Natalia went over and beyond to find answers to all my questions and she made it easy for me to understand what to expect from my exhausted insurance for that calendar period.During the initial consultation Dr.Roud was very professional, informative,attentive, even,I could say, compassionate, explained every step of the process in details.I was deeply afraid of the procedure, but the whole process was painless and pretty fast.The doctor was so kind to even give me a call in the evening to ask how I feel.When the time comes I'll use the services of this office without a second thought.HIGHLY RECOMMEND, I don't think in the USA there are many doctors like this one.

I have had two root canals now, one done in a luxury medical suite in Chicago - the latest with Dr Raud in So Florida. As a traditionally very anxious dental patient, I would select Dr Raud for any future endodontic procedure hands down every time. My procedure was unanticipatedly complex & he handled it with skill + poise. His humor was disarming & his expertise was unparalleled. The practice is spotlessly clean + very modern. He even left a personalized voicemail at 9pm the day of my procedure to check in on me post op. He cares about his patients & comes highly recommended.
