Let's be honest- no one wants to need an Endodontist and If you're in need of an Endodontist- chances are good you are in legit pain.
That was my story, and my tooth would alternate between no pain and the "holy shit make it stop!" Kinda pain. Like worse than having to spend the day with a religious missionary or pyramid scheme/ time share presentation.
My awesome Dentist (Shout out Dr. Ben with Downtown PHX Dental) referred me to Valley Endodontic and Dr. Lally. I called them right away and Erika the super nice staff member scheduled me for three days later, which I was so grateful for.
I arrived for my appointment and was warmly greeted by the receptionist and filled out a few quick forms. I didn't have a long wait and was taken back to an exam room and met Maria, one of the awesome techs. Maria was super chill and had jokes on jokes- which I greatly appreciated.
Dr. Lally came in and introduced himself by shaking my hand and warmly saying "Hi! I'm Trent". IMHO- when a Doc, especially a specialist introduces themselves by first name- that says a lot about who they are, in the best possible way. I was really impressed by his demeanor and approach. Dr. Lally took some X-rays and explained in detail (but English) what needed to happen and how to go about it.
I could not have been more impressed with Dr. Lally and Maria and the care I received. It was painless and easy and I couldn't believe when he said "all done!" Dr. Lally then showed me he X-ray where he had concerns about an infected root. I needed some more images and they have this awesome CT scanner that looks like it was made by Tesla. You stand still and it spins around you.
Anyway- long story long- these people are amazing and caring and know their stuff. I can not recommend them highly enough. Even though it's not something you want to have to do- when you need it, you REALLY need it.
Thanks SO much Valley Endo, Dr. Lally, Maria and Erika. You guys are professionals delivering world class care. Thanks for what you do!
