Dr. Hamberlin and his staff are awesome. I had to have my first root canal today and I was having a lot of anxiety about it. I have always heard the horror stories about root canals and I have to say my experience was painless... he is amazing!
In my experience, most dentists will come in, look at the x-ray, roll up their sleeves and get to work with very little explanation. Dr. Hamberlin is quite the opposite. He sat with me and explained exactly what he needed to do, including drawing on my x-ray to illustrate the specifics of the procedure. He put me totally at ease. Once he started the procedure other than some minor expected twinges it was easy. As he put it "like having a cavity filled".
During the procedure he continues to explain different steps he is taking and lets you know how much time is remaining.
If I ever need any other oral surgery in the future he is the only doctor I will see. I highly recommend him.
