Dr. Himanshu Sharma, DDS

Had to have an emergency out-of-town root canal. They moved schedules around to accommodate me. They were so kind and professional. Dr. Sharma completed an extremely challenging root canal and saved my tooth. I am so grateful that I found this place. I highly recommend their services.

I went to Dr. Sharma for a root canal that needed to be done ASAP. The tooth had a previous filling and was at the back of my mouth. Dr. Sharma took his time in explaining the options, i.e. extraction of the tooth versus a root canal. He also took a 3-D Xray to better determine the course of action. He recommended a root canal versus losing the tooth. He left the final decision up to me. He patiently answered any and all questions that I had. I decided on the root canal and he had to drill through a filling that I had done previously on that tooth. While completing the procedure, he continuously asked me if there was any pain or discomfort. He also took a break to allow me to rest my jaw. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of an endodontic specialist.

Saw Dr. Sharma for a root canal consultation. First of all, as he's looking at the CT scan right next to me he says "Oh....interesting". Not exactly good bedside manner. Then he gives me 3 reasons why the root canal may not be successful (large filling in tooth, canals are very narrow, and I forget the 3rd). He said he's been doing this for 13 years, so I asked him what the likelihood of the root canal being successful. He said there is no percent he could give me and wouldn't even recommend the root canal vs extraction. Not very helpful, he left the decision entirely up to me. I left his office thinking extraction was the way to go, but fortunately I went for a second opinion. The other endodontist said he didn't see anything "extraordinary" about my situation and the root canal was completed successfully.

Would not recommend.
