My son-in-law has just moved here needed a root canal. Because he was in pain, Dr. Goldfaden got him in immediately. The appointment was quick with no complications. Dr. Goldfaden was so kind and answered all our questions. When I called with questions I spoke directly with the doctor. Our experience couldn’t have been better and the cost was very fair! I would highly recommend Dr. Goldfaden.

Dr. Goldfaden's experience and skill level is outstanding. The efficiency with which he exemplifies is beyond a traditional dentist because he IS the specialist. I had a root canal of 30 years become abscess in the #14 upper molar. He knew exactly what needed to be done, and with no hesitation I chose to go ahead with an apicoectomy. Precision and skill are his forte`. Very little pain and no pain pills needed. He's the very best.

Dr Goldfaden was extremely rough, I thought that he would break the tooth at any moment. During the entire procedure he was hurredly grinding and pushing with what seemed all of his might and he is not a small guy at all. Dr. Goldfaden also kept leaving the room to attend to other patients, he was performing several procedures at the same time which is probably why he was so rough with me so he could quickly finish and move to the next patient. Not rude, not a talker.

I had to have a special procedure done on an old root canal that had been initially done by a different endodontist many years prior. The procedure was called an apicoectomy. I was very nervous about this oral surgery procedure, as I was told that it would require cutting into my gum above the affected tooth, and then suturing the area closed afterward. Dr. Goldfaden performed the procedure as if he'd been doing them all his life. I didn't even have to take so much as a Tylenol for pain.

He seamed rather inattentive and not very personable; likely because he was performing what appeared to be 3 or even 4 root canals on different people at the same time. With that said, this guy obviously has a ridiculous amount of experience and could probably do this in his sleep. He does seem to be on the expensive side, but if you find yourself saying, I want the best that money can buy, spare no expense, then this is probably the guy that you want to see.
