I was referred to Dr. Yaphe for a root canal following a deep filing at my regular dentist. Having a (silly) fear of the dentist my whole life, I was quite petrified to go forward with root canal therapy. To my surprise the entire experience, from initial assessment to the completion of the root canal was actually quite pleasant. Of course the prodding and drilling wasn't enjoyable, per say. But it was virtually painless and not at all what I had expected. I was leaving for a vacation a couple of days after my assessment, so he promptly squeezed me in (even though he was clearly booked) and had the whole procedure finished in time for my trip. I HIGHLY recommend this office as he and his team went above and beyond my expectations to keep me comfortable. Top notch.
