| - I have my own Dentist. I also had pain in #19...that darn number 19! When I recently made my way back from out of town, I scheduled a visit to my Dentist who, after an XRay, informed me that I needed a root canal and a crown. This is the Dentist who has taken care of me for 5 years, whom I trust. He referred me to a couple of specialists(endodontist) since roots were weird. After hearing the cost of said root canal, I started shopping around and a good friend of mine referred me to Patrick at Absolute Dental. They squeezed me in the next day between 2 other patients at the end of the day. (I was in an extreme amount of pain at that point, I hadn't been able to chew food for a couple days). From the minute I walked in the office on Guadalupe and Greenfield, I felt so comfortable, it felt right. I don't get this feeling often, and, I may as well tell you, I'm the most cynical person in the world. I don't trust anyone either. 5 minutes in a conversation with Patrick changed all that. He explained in detail after taking a couple quick xrays what the issues were that he saw, what the good scenario might be and the worst case scenario. Then came the news. The advice was that I didn't need a root canal. I didn't need to spend $2400 again. I went there prepared to spend close to that, and the main guy is talking me out of it!! WHAT??? Wait, pinch me! After an hour of cleaning up someone else's mistakes and a couple hundred bucks, I walked out a bit numb in the cheek and armed with a plan, and no pain. During the entire process I was asked if I was ok, and I mean, every minute...just a quick, Dave, are you ok?... It was perfect! I never felt that the doctor was in a hurry, or was rushing, even though I knew I was kind of an added on appt. It was amazing! Very professional! This has to be the most pleasant a visit to the Dental office can go for anyone, unless of course, you win the Dental Lottery, which, I don't think exists, but if it did, I just won!! I am just blown away by the honesty that this office displayed and the comfort level I was in throughout the whole process. You can do absolutely no wrong by going to Patrick and the great staff (Michelle, Joy, Amy, I think) at Absolute Dental, and that's all I have to say on the matter. (PS: they give you really cool sunglasses to wear during the treatment, that was my favorite)
