Excellent endodontist! He redid a root canal I had done 2 years ago. He explained why/how he would accomplish my treatment plan. I was completely satisfied with his work and follow up.

Dr. Ettrich answered my questions and did a follow-up call the next day to see how I was doing after my root canal. Staff were very friendly and helpful with insurance questions.

After finally working up the nerve to proceed with getting a root canal, I was turned away due to arriving late. Upon rushing in after my 45 minute drive I was greeted by the nice nasty receptionist who asked if I was ok. I replied yes, but the drive had taken longer than expected. She in turn said "well you've been here before". I responded by letting her know it was almost a year ago and I was coming from a different starting place. Since I was 13 minutes late she said they wouldn't be able to see me. I was highly disappointed due to the fact I had taken off work and had driven almost an hour to get there. I was willing to reschedule because I was late, and even though I didn't see a policy posted, I understood they had a right to cancel my appointment. Where things turned worse was when she informed me in order to reschedule my appointment I would be required to pay my copay in advance "so they could make sure I showed up". At this point I became beyond offended. I had already spoken to this same woman earlier in the week explaining how nervous and anxious I was about this procedure. The lack of care, concern, understanding, and flexibility is not something that I would expect from a service provider. At that point I made a decision to get an alternate referral and have my procedure done elsewhere. The way I was treated and spoken to should have never occurred. As a person of color I felt discriminated against and targeted by the request for payment in advance. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The root canal procedure went very well and the endondontist was great to talk to and an extremely experienced professional. Really took his time to ensure no pain during the procedure and I was comfortable with everything. To this point insurance worked out just as described and there were no extra charges. The negative reviews posted against this buisness simply because the reviewers didn't figure out financials before hand seem very unfair. However, it may help if before any work is done the receptionist once again clarifies the estimated required copay for the procedure. Though for me it still went smoothly. After the procedure I did have some pain, but with just tylenol and advil I feel fine. I would however recommended having someone else to drive you home, especially if driving far. Finally, it would also be appreciated if the office provided more information / a print out on what to do afterwards (e.g. what foods to eat, advising to not eat until numbness goes away, and how often/how much meds to take) but this can all be found online. Overall fantastic experience for a root canal, got me in under 2 weeks, great doctor, definitely would recommend!

It's apparent that Wedgewood Endontics is intentional about patient comfort during procedures. I actually relaxed and got lost in my thoughts during a root canal. The pain I experienced prior to the root canal is gone, same day. No Tylenol needed. This practice was highly recommended to me and now I know why.

Great experience and friendly staff! Dr. Ettrich was very professional and did a great job on my root canal. They even took my call after normal business hours after I was experiencing some mild symptoms after the procedure to walk me through things. Thank you for your help!

Excellent experience. Very accommodating. I had to move my appointment up a few days because my tooth was hurting and they made the change with no issue. I had a root canal, which by the nature of it is not pleasant, but I practically feel asleep 2 times during the procedure. There was no pain, and the dentist took extra time to be sure I was fully numb before starting. Highly recommend to anyone with a little fear about pain at the dentist!

I suppose I don't understand the negative reviews because Dr. Ettrich and his staff are amazing! I've had previous bad experiences with root canals (in Atlanta) and was super-anxious. I was so surprised at how kind, attentive and understanding everyone was today. It ended up being easy peasy and would recommend to anyone! Thank you for making today a life-changer.
