Endodontics Associates, Harrisburg PA

Wonderful experience with Endodontics Associates! I have been dealing with an infected tooth for a month due to my general dentist dragging their feet to provide adequate care. The pain was getting to be unbearable. I knew I had to take things into my own hands, so this is the first place I called after a quick search on Google. I spoke with Whitney, who was so kind and understanding. She was able to get me in next day due to a cancellation.

Dr. Paymer and his assistant (so sorry - I forgot to get her name) were fast and efficient. They made sure all my questions were answered, walked me through the process, and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Paymer has a great sense of humor, too.

I can't thank Endodontist Associates enough for the relief they brought me already!

Went for a root canal today… Dr. Curtis and his assistant were great… no pain at all and he explained everything he was going to do in the beginning… A+

Very friendly and helpful staff/doctors! Felt nothing and doctor was so great handling my anxiety; thanks Dr. O!

Got my first root canal there and it was worth every penny. The care I received from Dr. Shane Curtis and his assistant was exceptional and they were very thorough and professional as well as kind and compassionate. I was nervous- they were fixing a previously botched composite rebuild of my molar that had been severely infected- but their team reassured me that I would be well taken care of. They stayed true to their word. I am very pleased as well as complication and pain free. Would definitely recommend and will be returning to them for any and all endodontic concerns in the future. Thanks team!

Finally Pain Free, therefore an Outstanding experience. Thank you Dr. 'O'.

This was my third root canal. The first was a horrible experience; the 2nd I believe the doctor (now retired) diagnosed the wrong tooth since the pain never subsided. As you could imagine, on this visit I was a little reluctant and very skeptical, if not bordering on sarcastic, when Dr. Ibukun O. Olagbemi (AKA Dr. "O") enter the room. I was prepared for war, however Dr. O's bedside manner and soothing tone quickly changed my mood. As I explained my past experiences she spent additional time diagnosing where the pain was originating from. Much to her chagrin it turned out the source of the pain was deep in a tooth that was two teetch removed from where I reported the pain. Over the past two years no one was able to locate the source of this pain. The X-rays did not show anything, and the exterior of the tooth had no defects. Dr. O is very skilled, I was shocked when she indicated she was already done. I enjoyed the dialogue between her and her awesome assistant during the surgery. I had very little pain the days following the surgery. Therefore I needed very little medication for pain relief. If you are fortunate enough she may even serenade you with her beautiful voice as she did me.

This week I had a dental emergency and needed a root canal procedure done. I called in on Tuesday morning and was able to schedule an appointment for Wednesday afternoon, this alone was great! Then when I came to the office everybody was super friendly, including Dr. Darrell Curtis who was performing the procedure. Before the procedure began Dr. Curtis answered any questions I had and gave me very insightful answers. I had a great overall experience. I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do I will come back to Endodontics Associates.

My appointment was at Colonial Drive, Harrisburg, PA

Positives: Dr. Curtis. *****
The Endodontist was professional, personable and took the time to explain what was happening with my tooth and the necessary treatment.

Disappointments: Practice policy and procedures **

Scheduling patients 15 minutes prior to the actual appointment time, so the patient can sit in lobby and and contemplate the visit. In the past, patients were scheduled early to complete paperwork. Now, patients are asked to print, fill in paperwork at home and bring to the office at their scheduled appointment.

Next, while seated in the dental chair, the assistant gathered information about me, my tooth and then took x-rays. When she finished, she said the doctor would be in to see me, but it wasn’t the doctor I was scheduled to see. Apparently, no one deemed it necessary to check with the patient regarding the change in Endodontist.

On to the reception desk to pay for my evaluation. Hours before my appointment, I consulted the Financial Policy listed on the practice website. Like most professional offices, they offer a 5% discount for cash (this is standard practice as it subverts excessive credit card fees and provides the office with cash flow). Great! I love discounts for cash and went out of my way to get cash. The front desk receptionist informed me there were no discounts for evaluations. When I mentioned this should be changed on the website, the receptionist assured me the website states the discount is for treatment only (a good practioner does not discount their service as it is demeaning to their skill set). Anyway, referring back to the website, it clearly states cash payments are discounted, not services. However, today I did notice the specific amount of discounts offered have been removed from the website.

Dr. Curtis was extremely helpful. Spent time explaining all my options and actually recommended not to do the procedure. How cool was that! Performed a through exam and went well beyond what was needed in order to make the best diagnosis - at no extra charge. Professional and friendly staff. Highly recommended this office.

I was incredibly nervous and afraid of the dentist due to terrible experiences in the past! Dr. Curtis and his assistant went above and beyond to make sure I wasn’t in any pain and felt completely comfortable during my whole root canal! The dr even followed up the next day to see how I was feeling. They’re wonderful! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I needed a root canal after chipping a tooth. I have major dental anxiety and was really regretting having this done, but Dr Olagbemi and Jenna were amazing! I never thought I'd say that I enjoyed a root canal but they were so pleasent and fun that I had a good time being there. I hope I don't need more major dental work, but if I ever do I know where I'm going!

Root canal. They were able to get me in the same day a referral was made. The procedure felt just like getting a filling. Friendly staff.
