Endodontic Associates

I went to endodontic associates for a root canal on the recommendation from my dentist. I assumed they were in my network for insurance but I found out after they weren't. My bad for not checking. The thing that bothers me is that I gave my insurance card to the receptionist and took all the info,had the procedure done. Come find out she knew the insurance wouldn't cover anything but didn't say anything to me then. Very deceptive practices. Avoid on integrity alone.

Dr. Tobin Drake was friendly and spent time before my procedure explaining what was going on with my tooth and what he would be doing. He was gentle and kind during the whole procedure and very pleasant. I was nothing less than 100% satisfied with my experience!The staff were friendly too! The receptionist was smiling and friendly as was the dental assistant. Dr Tobin Drake is a polite, pleasant, professional Endodontist! I question the validity of the previous reviews written above. I think some people are not happy in life.... or don't like going to the dentist...lol

I wouldn't describe a root canal as a fun experience for anyone but Dr Drake did an excellent job on mine. I felt no pain during the procedure, and I found him and his staff to be pleasant, though perhaps a bit brisk. Everyone has their own opinions, but I would recommend Dr Drake - I've heard horror stories of painful root canals and thanks to Dr Drake, I did not have that experience.

I went for an evaluation for a root canal. Tobin Drake was arrogant ("didn't you notice a bad taste"? Well, duh, why do you think I'm here?) he was very unfriendly and I was not at all comfortable there. I declined to have him handle my procedure. I was charged $65 for the evaluation.

I was referred to Dr. Drake but my dentist. I scheduled an appointment a week and half out and was asking about insurance. The lady I spoke with was very short and said I need to pay a $300 deposit and will find out the rest after the procedure. I did not like her attitude so I called another endodontist and within a few hours I knew exactly which insurance was within network and which was not (I have 2 insurance companies) and approximately how much I will need to pay for the procedure after claims are filed. She was so friendly unlike the experience I had with Dr Drakes office. Clearly I cancelled my appointment with Dr. Drake

I too agree with the first 2 reviewers. I had a root canal done and it felt as though the entire time I was putting him out while he was working on my tooth. Irritable and arrogant are two perfect words to describe Tobin Drake. His staff is unfriendly and make you feel very unwanted. I had a feeling like they couldn't wait for me to leave. They all seem miserable to be doing their job. Hint, quit if you're unhappy with your profession.

I agree with the other reviewer. I had a root canal done by Dr. Drake. I'm not sure arrogant is the right word. More like rude. I'm sure root canals are not pleasant anywhere but this was a horrible experience. I was never asked if I was doing ok or even spoken to during the whole hour and a half procedure. I was shocked at how unfriendly his whole office is, especially the receptionist. Don't go here.
