Commonwealth Endodontics: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I could not be more happy with my experience here. They were kind. They explained everything about what was happening to my tooth and the options. The day of the procedure they sufficiently numbed my gums so the shots and procedure caused minimal pain. I’m so happy I left my old dentist and found Commonwealth Endodontics.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that you felt well-informed, comfortable, and cared for throughout your visit. We truly appreciate your trust in Commonwealth Endodontics and your kind recommendation.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ather is very attentive and cares for his patients.
Thank you for your kind feedback and 5-star rating! We’re proud of our team’s commitment to providing attentive, high-quality care and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Negative experience: I received a root canal treatment from your office approximately five years ago, for which I paid around $2,000. At a recent visit with my current dentist, I was informed that the original root canal was not completed properly and that I would need to have the procedure redone. After scheduling an appointment with your office, I was told I would receive an estimate by email within a few days. After waiting about a month without receiving anything, I called three days prior to my scheduled appointment to request the cost, since no estimate had been sent. During that call, I was given a price verbally and was told I would receive confirmation two days prior to my appointment. I also specifically requested that the estimate be emailed to me. Shortly after that call, I received an emailed estimate that was approximately double the price I had just been quoted over the phone. This inconsistency was very concerning and has caused me to question the transparency and reliability of the pricing information I was given. I would appreciate clarification regarding the pricing difference and an explanation of the original treatment outcome.
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We take concerns about communication and billing seriously and want to ensure they are addressed properly. For privacy and HIPAA compliance, we are unable to discuss specific treatment details in a public forum. Please contact our office directly, so we can review your concerns and work toward a resolution.
Fantastic experience: Got a root canal done with the Ather team (dr. Ather, Isaiah, and Hailey) and they were wonderful. I was nervous but the team was very kind and answered my questions and gave me a play-by-play. I highly recommend west end orthodontics.
Thank you for the kind review and recommendation. We’re glad to hear our team helped create a calm, supportive experience and took the time to explain each step along the way. Providing clear communication and compassionate care is always our priority, and we truly appreciate your feedback.
Fantastic experience: My Root Canal experience was great. The assistant Isaiah was very friendly and made me feel more relaxed being I was nervous. Dr. Amber Ather was also very friendly and made this a painless experience I didn’t feel anything.
We appreciate your thoughtful review. Helping guests feel relaxed and comfortable, especially when they’re feeling nervous, is always a top priority. We’re happy to know your experience was a positive one.
Negative experience: The dental care I received was good, but it was overshadowed by the fact that we were not informed that they were NOT IN NETWORK. We hold BCBS Anthem Dental coverage, not a run of the mill dental insurance. We would have scheduled the extraction elsewhere. When I set up the appointment, they asked for my dental coverage, which I gave, At that time they ETHICALLY SHOULD HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE NOT IN NETWORK. We then incurred several HUNDREDS of dollars' worth of unexpected charges!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We strive to be transparent regarding insurance participation and treatment scope. At this time, we are unable to identify a visit that aligns with the experience described, and our practice does not perform tooth extractions. We encourage anyone with questions about insurance or billing to contact our office directly for clarification.
Positive experience: Friendly, professional and talented. In right away, made sure all of my questions were answered and that I was comfortable. Their system contacted my emergency contact to confirm my appointment (not an emergency). Also sent the request to rate them to my “Emergency” contact. Else 5 stars
Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you felt comfortable and well cared for, and we apologize for the confusion caused by our automated communication system.

Fantastic experience: Appointment time late morning. Pop was called in once all paperwork was completed (which I forgot to complete online prior to appointment). All staff exceptional and professional with working with Pop. The Endodontist also was exceptional with his professional evaluation and explanation to Pop and I for the tooth care. What I most admired was the relaxed atmosphere once one enters into the business and the smiles and humor one can have in conversation with all. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I had a root canal done by Dr. Ather at Commonwealth Endodontics. The procedure was efficient and substantially pain free. I was most impressed by Dr. Ather’s skills and his coordination with his assistant, Isaiah. If you need to have a root canal, I fully recommend Dr. Ather.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to hear you had an efficient and comfortable experience and that our team worked seamlessly to deliver high-quality care. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.
Fantastic experience: I met with Doctor Finkler to evaluate an issue with 2 teeth that my dentist thought needed root canal treatment. After a thorough exam he found that that wasn’t the problem and that the teeth hurt so bad because I was clinching my teeth putting stress on them and was causing the pain. He took a 3D X-ray to make sure all was well. I thank him for his honesty and was very nice to talk to and very competent. He let me know that I was welcome to call him with any future issues.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Finkler was very nice! He was calm and explained everything about what was going on with my situation. He understood my anxiety and made me feel at ease.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Amber Ather is the best, I had my first ever experience with a toothache, a little bit over two weeks ago. I tell you it took me down for a few days I went to the VA emergency room, got some meds and got referred to Commonwealth Endodontics West End office. And the pain was history. I end up having a abscess removal and a root canal treatment. Came back for a follow today and everything was good to go. I really appreciate Dr. Ather and his team, they really took good care of me. I had a great experience eventhough it was from a toothache.
We’re so glad your visit to our office was comfortable and that our team could provide the care you needed. Our goal is always to make patients feel supported and well-cared for. Thank you for your kind words!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ather and his team are exceptional! He performed a highly successful and painless root canal on me. The follow up was equally fine and, a year later, the tooth has healed and the bone has regrown. I can’t think of a better outcome. I am delighted that Dr. Ather was able to save my tooth!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re happy to hear your visit was a positive one and that the treatment experience met your expectations. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback.
Fantastic experience: I can't recall ever receiving such amazing service at what can be a pretty tense appointment. From the moment I entered the front desk the staff was kind and welcoming. The dental assistant noticed something in my initial xrays that I wanted to pay attention to and I got focused X-rays for something that ultimately ended up being necessary. (Side note : my main dentist was really impressed with the quality of the 3D style x-rays the office took) The doctor was really patient with me when I had a hard time accepting my diagnosis and explained my options really well. Twice with humor bc I didn't want to believe I had to get a tooth extracted. And also a root canal retreated :( I had to wait a little longer than expected and the staff was really kind about the doctor going over. All in all, Dr. Ather let me grieve the loss of my #29 and the staff and Dr. Ather were amazing and informative and helpful and I appreciate the attention to detail and great customer service. I feel better about having to come back, I know I will be in good caring hands. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you felt welcomed, informed, and supported throughout your visit. We appreciate your kind words about our team and the care you received.
Fantastic experience: I visited Dr. Ather today for an evaluation, and I was truly impressed by his professionalism and care. He took the time to listen, explain everything in detail, and make sure I was completely comfortable. His calm and friendly manner immediately put me at ease. Even though it was just an evaluation today, I left feeling confident that I’m in great hands. Highly recommend Dr. Ather for anyone needing endodontic care!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience. Anxiety gets the better of me and the thought that I'm there cuts down to my soul. Asia? talked me off the ledge, her voice was calm and soothing. I told myself that as soon as they weren't looking I was gonna slip out the door. Man was I nervous, she came to the lobby and sat with me. Then it was my turn. The young lady who took me back, knew I had issues, she was warm and gentle as well (can't remember her name. Dr. Finkler came in with mask on, I said hey, you look like Dr. Bottoms, he said we have the same barber ( both bald and you only see their head and eyes). Test were done...Yay, no root canal needed, boy was I relieved. I hope I never see any of them again, but if I had to, they would definitely be my choice. Customer is very very important and they brought it!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Timothy Finkler retreated a cracked molar root canal from over a decade ago. Was nervous/concerned since original procedure resulted in a weekend with the worst pain I've ever experienced, and no way to even contact that doctor - they went on a weekend retreat. Fast forward to Dr. Finkler - no pain after anesthetic wore off, Tylenol and Advil only needed for one day after (two times) - and was even given a cell phone number to contact in case any pain did start!!! Have never had any doctor make themselves this available to a patient before! God bless him for the amazing treatment that resulted in relieving pain and not causing any additional pain typical with this kind of treatment. There was not even any discomfort after - Thank you!
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear your experience was comfortable and that our team was able to provide the care and accessibility you needed. We’re committed to offering compassionate, pain-free treatment in a supportive environment. Your feedback truly means a lot to us!
Positive experience: The office staff is very nice but I always feel like the practice is more concerned with your payment than your health and well being. On this visit, I was having pain in a tooth which had previously been treated and was charged a significant fee to be advised to have the tooth extracted-a service that this practice does not provide.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you had a positive experience with our staff. We’re sorry to hear about your concerns. Due to privacy laws, we can’t discuss details here, but we’d be happy to speak with you directly if you contact our office.
Fantastic experience: The entire office was an absolute pleasure to be served by. From Dr. Ather & Kayla, who took great care of my issue, to each of the front desk staff I interacted with, I felt my pain and treatment plan was of the utmost concern. I have had (unfortunately) quite a bit of experience with root canals and this was by far the best experience. So thankful I found this practice through their stellar Google reviews.
Thank you for the kind words! We're grateful you felt well cared for by our team and are so glad your experience stood out in the best way. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Fantastic experience: From the front desk to the end of my visit, I was treated with friendliness, kindness and respect. All procedures were explained in advance and every effort was made to keep me comfortable.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you had a positive experience from start to finish. Our team is committed to providing clear communication, respectful care, and a comfortable environment for every visitor. We appreciate your kind words
Fantastic experience: I have never been so comfortable as when Dr. Finkle walked in and explained the whole process, I am the worst patient ever at the dentists office. If you have a fear of dentists give these folks a call
Thank you so much for your kind words and 5-star review! We're glad to hear that your experience was comfortable and reassuring. Our team is committed to creating a calm and supportive environment for every visit. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very professional, Dr.Ather and his assistant a job well done!Nermeen did a very good job in helping to get my appointment for my tooth extraction the very next day.Well done Nermeen!You Go!!!
Thanks for your enthusiastic review! We're glad our team could assist you quickly and professionally. Same-day care coordination is something we take pride in. Your feedback means a lot!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Dr. Finkler and everyone I came across! I was very scared to have a root canal and very worried about being pressured into the procedure. I started at the Charlottesville location for a consultation. Up to that point, I was in extreme pain in my upper and lower jaw, ear, and tooth. I called around, in tears, and no one could see me except them. Julia on the phone was incredible and helpful. She put it all in motion. I got an appointment with Dr. Morris for the consult who found my bad tooth. Dr. Finkler saw me same day in Richmond for the root canal. He explained everything, was thorough: taking multiple images through the procedure to make sure my roots were properly taken care of, and caring! I don’t tolerate numbing with epinephrine very well and he listened! Overall, great experience and my pain is minimal; zero pain at the tooth although my jaw joint bilaterally is very sore due to my TMJ. My severe pain is completely gone. I’m so thankful for them and would recommend them to anyone!!
We truly appreciate your thoughtful review. It’s great to hear that the team was able to provide care and support when it was needed most. We understand that these situations can be stressful, and it means a lot to know that your concerns were heard and addressed with compassion. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Fantastic experience: From the first phone call through checkout, everyone at CWE was patient, pleasant, conversational, clear, friendly. The actual procedure was quick (I wish I could add painless, but it’s a root canal!) and the doctor and tech explained everything along the way. I would definitely recommend CWE to anyone needing a root canal!
Thank you for your recommendation! We’re pleased to know you had a great experience with our team. Providing professional and friendly care is always our goal. We appreciate you sharing your experience!
Fantastic experience: Once again, in great hands with Dr. Ather, Leta are so professional, efficient, demonstrates expertise with my almost 65 year old teeth. #18 this time. Think we got that side of mouth fortified for 65 more years. Thank you for everything!! You instill confidence and like I said in person, CWE reels professionalism and real care. Very difficult at times dealing with people in pain.... They do so precisely.️⚕️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update, aging crowns and old root canels! From arrival to initial assessments, excellent professional ambiance. Dr. Ather, think I got my doctors name right this time, matter of fact, very gentle demeanor and highly trained and experienced, cannot say enough good about the people and positive office atmosphere! Expertise!! They scheduled me in and diagnosed with options, thanks CE! Dr. Anther (sp) and all staff from check-in to leaving. See ya back.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Finkler has outstanding bedside manners and a great sense of humor, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain my options regarding my care. Rochelle was fantastic in guiding me through every step of the process, ensuring I was well-informed throughout the visit. I also want to thank Meliza for her support and for truly listening to my concerns. If it weren’t for her, I might not have returned. I’m grateful for the care I received!"

Fantastic experience: I had to have a tooth extracted. Thankfully my well being and comfort were the primary concern. I am a bit of a crybaby but, they made sure I was comfortable and in as minimal pain as possible. Top notch personnel and Doctors. I cannot emphasize enough the professionalism and expertise of this team. Thank you for everything. You are all the best I have ever dealt with.

Fantastic experience: It was my first visit and had great experience. I had to wait a little longer for my treatment appointment as some other patient had an emergency but the front desk team made sure I am well informed about the delay and Iam glad that Dr Timothy Finkler didn’t cancel my appointment and finished my treatment. Overall, it’s good experience and didn’t made me feel any pain.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! Our team always aims to keep people informed and comfortable during their visit. We're glad to hear that everything went smoothly for you!
Fantastic experience: My daughter has a lot of dental anxiety and had to have a root canal very quickly due to pain and swelling. Dr. Ather was wonderful with her! He talked to her about what he was doing and even about what she was most anxious about. He was very patient with her! Leta and Kayla were also wonderful with her and talked her through everything, held her hand and kept her calm. They let her listen to music on her headphones while they worked and gave her a stress ball to hold. This stressed out mom appreciated them SO much! I would highly recommend this office!!!
It’s truly rewarding to hear that your daughter felt comfortable and supported during her visit. Taking the time to explain each step and provide small comforts can make a big difference, and we’re so glad it helped. Thank you for trusting us with her care and for your kind recommendation!
Fantastic experience: Recently, I needed a root canal after a crown was put in by my dentist. I am so phobic regarding dentistry to begin with, but Dr. Ather and his assistant, Kayla, were true artists in their field. Not only were they comforting to my high anxiety, but their professionalism, demeanor, and skill all around made this an experience I may not dread if I ever need their services again. When I returned to my dentist, he stated that he never met Dr. Ather in person, but complimented on the exemplary work that Dr. Ather completed. I am smiling without pain, again!
We truly appreciate your thoughtful review! It’s wonderful to hear that our team was able to help ease your anxiety and make the experience as comfortable as possible. Providing skilled and compassionate care is always our priority, and we’re so glad you’re smiling without pain again. Thank you for trusting us with your care!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Commonwealth Endodontics! The staff—doctors, technicians, receptionists, EVERYONE—is thoughtful and compassionate. My mother has a real fear of dentists, but she was treated with great kindness and respect. They are an excellent choice for root canals!
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your review. Our team always strives to be professional and courteous to make a difference in care. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be shared with our staff.
Fantastic experience: This was my first root canal, and I was nervous. The care and professionalism of the endodontist, the assistant, and the staff were exceptional. There was no discomfort and an incredible relief to get rid of the toothache. I would not hesitate to repeat the procedure.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad our team was able to provide a comfortable and professional experience for you. Your kind words mean a lot to us. If you ever need anything in the future, we’re here to help!
Positive experience: I do not think it negatively impacted my care, but since I am paying the equivalent of $10K per hour for their services I would like a "sterile cockpit" approach, with no extraneous conversations between the dentist and assistant during my visit.
Thank you for your feedback. We strive to maintain a professional and focused environment to ensure our guests feel comfortable and well cared for.

Billing calls ahead of time to let you know the cost of the appointment. Smooth process the day of appointment, as they don’t have you waiting long in the waiting area. Get right to work wasting no time. Dr. Ather is amazing and I love his personality. If you’re nervous it will go away as everyone makes you feel right at home. Instructions are given by the doctor on aftercare and you are given papers to help remember what was said. I love how I was shown what work was done that day on my tooth as well. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: You could not ask for a better experience in having a root canal procedure done. This was my first time with the staff using the laser machine in prepping the tooth and I was amazed at how easy things went. Dr. Tim Finkler, his assistant, and the whole staff at Commonwealth are the best. Thanks

Fantastic experience: I had to have a lot of work done at Commonwealth Endodontics ten years ago, and Dr Finkler took great care of doing numerous root canals on my teeth at that time. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge, his kind manner, and his overall professional handling of my issues. His staff was also fabulous at that time. However, I had to go for a consultation yesterday, and just had to go back to Dr Finkler today for his expertise in dealing with another uncomfortable issue! I found myself quite surprised that the office staff was not just good, but they had even improved, which I had not thought could be possible! They were friendly, uplifting, eager to answer any questions I had, and made me feel welcomed and very comfortable! Also, Dr Finkler only demonstrated further why I was excited to have him as my Endodontist once again! He welcomed my questions and explained and showed me on X-rays exactly what he found was wrong and his plan of action to fix it. He asked numerous times during the procedure if I were OK. Of course I was, but his caring spirit sure gave me comfort!
Thank you so much! Positive reviews motivate us to continue to provide the best care for everyone. Leaving a lasting impression through our care and professionalism is just one way we set ourselves apart. We wouldn't be CWE without our kind and welcoming staff!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Finkler was very professional, engaging and responsive to my questions. He informed me of my options and possibilities results pending from my upcoming appointment w/ him. Good job!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Clear communication and responsiveness are essential values, and we’re glad they stood out. We appreciate your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Finkler is truly amazing. If you ever have anxiety going to the dentist, you will never have this with Dr. Finkler. I recently had some restorative work done by him and his team and I can’t believe I’m saying that it was the most relaxing and professional experience I’ve ever had with a root canal. His demeanor and skill is truly amazing along with his assistants and the front office team. Regardless of who your general dentist may refer you to, or may want to do it in practice, I highly recommend you get an opinion by Dr. Finkler and the CWE team!
Thank you so much for your kind words and high recommendation! We're thrilled to hear that you had a relaxing and professional experience with our team. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and motivates us to continue providing exceptional care.
Fantastic experience: Dr Aether walked me through everything before the procedure. The staff was helpful, personable and comforting. I had very little pain.

Fantastic experience: I was having tooth pain and my regular dentist referred me here. They got me in very quickly. Everyone was pleasant and professional. The Dr explained everything clearly and I felt confident they could fix it…and they did :-)

Fantastic experience: Dr. Finkler and his team are amazing. I received a root canal, and it was the smoothest experience I’ve had getting a dental procedure. He ensured I was comfortable and pain free. I would highly recommend him and this practice.
Thank you! Creating smooth experiences for all is what makes us CWE. Kind support just keeps us going!
Fantastic experience: 5 STAR SERVICE! Dr. Finkler, Rochelle and the ENTIRE staff are absolutely phenomenal! Dr. Finkler patiently guided me through my entire procedure. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted with genuine smiles & warm salutations. The Team is professional, courteous, approachable & I highly recommend this location. The are truly a Class Act!

Thank you so much for your glowing review! We always strive to provide knowledgeable and compassionate care, especially in situations that can feel uncomfortable.
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Commonwealth Endodontics, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and professionalism I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and at ease. The office is clean and equipped with the latest technology. Dr. Finkler took the time to explain the procedure in detail and answered all my questions patiently. Their expertise and gentle approach made what could have been a stressful experience surprisingly comfortable. I appreciated the thoroughness of the examination and the precision with which the treatment was carried out. It's clear that Dr. Finkler and their staff genuinely care about their patients' well-being. I highly recommend Dr. Finkler to anyone in need of endodontic care. Their dedication to excellence and patient comfort truly sets them apart. Thank you Dr. Finkler!
We’re beyond grateful for your kind words and detailed feedback. Thank you again for your recommendation – it means the world to us!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Finkler is extremely patient, kind, and trustworthy. As a disabled veteran it is extremely difficult to find healthcare professionals that are willing to except community healthcare from the VA. This man went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that my procedure went well and I was in no discomfort. I am forever grateful and honestly, I love him; professionally of course.
Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful review. Your words mean a lot to us. We're always looking to provide the best care for all.
Fantastic experience: The front office was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Finkler is very approachable and welcomes all questions. He was instrumental with helping me to be more comfortable regarding a root canal retreatment. That is called a gift.
Thank you for recognizing our team! We’re proud of our knowledgeable doctor and supportive staff.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ather has been extremely professional, knowledgeable, and caring during the course of two root canal treatments. Options for care were offered. Comfort during treatment was always a priority . Concerns have been quickly addressed via phone and email. The dental technicians and office staff have been very helpful, friendly and reassuring during the treatment process.
Thank you for the great review! We always want our team to provide professional and efficient service. Ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience is a top priority for us! We truly appreciate your trust and support!
Positive experience: Doctor was very nice and detailed with the examination of my mom, But his nurse assistant was very unprofessional she kept making faces of disgust. She should look for a different profession if she’s so disgusted. I definitely wouldn’t want her in my next visit.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at CWE on Hungary Spring Road. From the time I walked in the door, I was greeted and with a smile. The women were very kind, and understanding, because I was nervous. They answered my many questions and put me at ease. When I came back for my procedure, I received the same treatment. Dr Finkler and his assistants were very kind and understanding. They engaged in conversation with me as well. They also talked to me every step of the way of my procedure. I would definitely recommend this office to others! ❤️
Thank you for your kind review! We’re lucky to have an incredible doctor and a supportive staff who truly care.
Fantastic experience: Best in the business. I personally had a root canal done and it was just as easy as having a standard filling. They do their best to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr Finkler and his staff are top notch! Thank you for your service and care during my last procedure.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional... the front desk, Sarah the Dr's assistant and Dr Vaughn. Exam and description of treatment very clearly explained. My first visit was excellent...
Fantastic experience: Our case is very complicated and We drove for 100 miles to this place to seek help. Meliza goes above and beyond to help us secure the appointment in short notice. Dr. Finkler’s specialty is sedation Endodontics which is a rare found. I highly recommend this place for Endodontics.
Fantastic experience: First time visit today for my 12 year old daughter. She was very nervous and is on the spectrum. We had a wonderful experience. Dr. Finkler and all the staff were very kind and sensitive to my daughter. Everything was explained in great detail and was I very comfortable about the next steps. I would definitely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: After a failed root canal elsewhere because I wasn’t able to tolerate the treatment I Visited Dr Finkler. Best decision I made, he was able to use sedation and complete my treatment with zero pain and anxiety. Than you very much Dr Finkler and I will highly recommend you in the future.
Negative experience: Painful experience, incredibly overpriced along with lack of empathy or emotional kindness. It felt very robotic and the lack of concern for my fears and nerves was disappointing. No wonder people are fearful of the dental work! I will be searching for another office if I need to have future work done.
Fantastic experience: Dr Vaughn and his assistant were both kind and knowledgeable of my situation. The root canal was completed today. The procedure was explained to me step by step clearly so I could understand.
Negative experience: During 2-3 phone calls, I was given an estimate for the work I needed done. My insurance was checked, and she gave me a price. On my way to my appointment a few days later, as I was driving another person called to give me a totally different price, of over $1000.00 more. Which I would have to pay that day. So I had to cancel. This was a terrible experience. I would not recommend them.
Fantastic experience: The clinic was clean, the front office staff was very friendly, and the Dr. Finkler and his assistant were knowledgeable, patient, and efficient with my appointment. They reassured me everything was going to be quick and easy, and it was. They even squeezed in my root canal which was quick and surprisingly painless after the scheduled consultation. I had a pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: I was a last minute patient and everyone was kind and helpful. Dr. Flinker was so easy to talk to and super helpful for the next course of action for my painful tooth. All the ladies up front was sweet and helpful also. I would highly recommend anyone that needed it!
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're so grateful to have such a great doctor and a wonderful, supportive staff. We appreciate your recommendation!
Negative experience: If I could give a zero star rating, I would I got referred to come here for a root canal after already being evaluated once before told I had to be evaluated again so that they knew what tooth needed the root canal with myself and them already knowing which tooth needed it. I feel totally scammed. I paid $500 for them to tell me I needed a root canal on the same tooth me and the dentist that referred me to told them and still wasn’t able to get the root canal done need this to say I’ll be taking my business somewhere else
We apologize. Insuring the highest standard of care is our priority, and it is disappointing to hear when these are not met. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please reach out to us directly.
Fantastic experience: Needed a root canal diagnosed on a Monday morning and Commonwealth Endo was able to get me in Tuesday morning with Dr Vaughan. Staff was very friendly and professional. Dr Vaughan performed the procedure in about hour and half. Thanks for the help! Feel a great deal better.
We very much appreciate the positive feedback. It is our goal to provide care that creates an air of positivity!
Fantastic experience: I called Commonwealth Endodontics after the endodontists at my dentist's office couldn't get me in for another month or two just for a consultation. Commonwealth Endodontists got me in the very next day, and the scheduling receptionist was very personable, friendly, and empathetic to my situation. I went to the West End location and the office was very nice. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I had a consultation with Dr. Ather who confirmed that I needed a root canal. I scheduled the root canal and checked out with Hope, who was also amazing, and could get me in within the next day. Right before I pulled out of the parking lot, Hope called and told me that they could do the root canal right then and there, so I went ahead and got it over with. I really wish I remembered Dr. Ather's hygienist's name, because she was absolutely amazing. Professional, intelligent, personable...the list goes on. I wish I could've given her a tip at the end! Dr. Ather was also very professional and empathetic. They made sure I was comfortable and didn't feel any pain. Today is the day after my procedure and I can finally drink room temperature water without sensitivity. I highly recommend Commonwealth Endodontics if you need a root canal that can't wait, or just in general. I wish every practice was like them.
Thank you for your recommendation! We truly appreciate the trust and confidence you place in our team.
Fantastic experience: Received exceptional service at the clinic with Dr Ather . The root canal treatment was done masterfully, pain-free, and with great attention to detail. The customer service is impeccable, the staff is extremely attentive, and the clinic is impeccably clean. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking high-quality dental care. Thank you so much for all his team . Sincerely Marcia Da rold
Fantastic experience: Dentist and dental hygienist that took care of me were amazing. I needed a root canal and they were so kind and knowledgeable. It's a very beautiful location and the interior is amazing. It felt comfortable, structured, and safe. I appreciated having that feeling before being called for my turn. The only con at have is that this was an urgent, unexpected cost to me and I had to pay upfront. I can understanding why though. I was recommended to come here by my dentist because my dentist was fully booked and this was an urgent and sudden need. So I would recommend this location based on the feel of the building, the quality service I received, and the care they took to accommodate me on short notice (less than 6 hours).
Fantastic experience: I was in the worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my life and I was treated very well by all members of the team. Dr. Vaughan did a great job explaining every step of the process and why what he was doing was necessary. This practice also saw my daughter when she knocked her tooth out and we had a great experience with them at that time too. I would certainly recommend Dr. Finkler or Dr. Vaughan to anyone needing an endodontist.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, no long wait, isolated the problems quickly, and explained it all clearly. An appointment to correct the problems was set for 4 days after this one. Couldn't have worked out better. I was back home in less than an hour.
Fantastic experience: First root canal and I wasn’t sure what to expect. 2 hours later my tooth pain is gone. This was a great experience. Dr Finkler and team treated me very well. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Martinez and Kelly made my experience comfortable, painless and relaxing! Everyone in the office is kind and professional. 10/10 recommend!
Fantastic experience: Even though I had to have a root canal, it wasn't a bad experience. Dr. Vaughn took his time to explain everything to me. The procedure itself was relatively easy for me, I even kept falling asleep, but would wake myself up by snoring; embarrassing!!! I am confident that the work done here is very well done and I don't expect any difficulties from having had this procedure.
Fantastic experience: Great Endodontist! Very friendly and professional. They explained everything in advance and then again each step of the way. This was my first root canal ever, just before my 53rd birthday. They put me at ease and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. Dr. Finkler even called me personally the following day to check in on me. I highly recommend this office!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Tim Finkler and his staff did great! As a person who has a phobia of needles and have had bad experience with them they were phenomenonal with working with me through that. Very accomindating, made me feel comfortable, made sure I was aware of everything. They gave me a blanket as well. Thank you Dr Tim as well as the staff!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Finkler and his staff were fantastic. I was able to get a consult appointment very quickly. The assistant was very sweet. Dr. Finkler calmed my nerves and mad me very comfortable. They were able to schedule my appointment for the next day. I was very nervous after an extremely unpleasant experience at another office. Dr. Finkler calmed my nerves and the procedure went great. I don’t have any pain. He even answered a question about an issue I was having from my last procedure at another office. Thank you very much for a great experience.
