I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bartschi or all of the wonderful staff here at Northwood!
I previously put off a root canal that was recommended several years ago after my current dentist referred me out to an endodontist. Previously, my dentist was able to do root canals in his office, but he recently took a step back from doing so, and I was REALLY apprehensive to see anyone else after a terrible experience with an endodontist in my early 20s.
I finally got up the courage (and having dental insurance now also helped lol) to make an appointment with Dr. Bartschi after my dentist highly recommended him and mentioned how kind and compassionate he is. I was skeptical, but my visit this morning proved my dentist right!
From booking the appointment to checking in, the experience was so simply, and I had great communication and reminders from the office all along the way. I received a treatment estimate before my visit, which outlined anticipated costs for just the consultation, as well as anticipated costs for the procedure (if it was deemed to be needed). It was so helpful to know all of this info and what my insurance would likely cover before even getting there.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by 3 sweet folks at the front desk, who helped me get checked in quickly. I was then taken back for a quick CT scan, then taken back to the exam room. Dr. Bartschi came in to see me within a few short minutes, and was so kind and amicable. He actively listened while I explained what brought me to the office today, my other health issues, and what my anxieties and questions were going into this appointment. He then thoroughly explained what he suspected was going on with my tooth, what all of my options were, and answered all of my questions patiently.
Since I moved forward with doing the root canal today, I can say that they were so great about explaining what they were doing before they did anything (whether it was x-rays, injections, numbing gel, bite block, etc.), and they made sure I was doing okay throughout the procedure. I have no doubt that if I had experienced any pain whatsoever, Dr. Bartschi would have immediately stopped and taken the concern seriously, and I share that in hopes it gives someone else peace of mind!
10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND Northwood Endodontics! I know no one ever *wants* to have dental work done, but if you need it, you will be in highly-skilled, compassionate hands at this practice.
