I am a new patient with Pittsburgh Roots Endodontics. I had a root canal performed this morning. Dr. Parker and his entire staff - both front and back office - were great. Dr. Parker let me know up front that the procedure would be very extensive and may be uncomfortable as he tries to get to find the nerve and eliminate the inflammation and infection. I experienced no pain even though the exam/procedure was extensive. Everyone was very knowledgeable about the process & procedure and walked me through each step as it was being performed. One last comment, all of the staff addressed me as Ms.Twyla and not “sweetie/sweetheart, hon, etc.”. That was very refreshing and reminded me of how I was raised to address everyone, especially our elders with respect. Having retired from the healthcare field, that level of basic respect goes a long way in putting the patient at ease for what could have been a painful procedure. If you need a root canal, I would suggest giving Pittsburgh Roots Endodontics and Dr. Parker and his team a try!

Pittsburgh Roots Endodontics are wonderful and took excellent care of me. Dr. Parker and his team (Jennifer the dental hygienist was great) are exceptionally compassionate and warm. I felt very comfortable having them treat my infected tooth and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an endodontist who truly cares about his patients. They make their patients feel extremely comfortable when taking care of them.

The office is very clean and professional. The staff made me feel quite at ease. I don't know how Dr. Parks did it, but the numbing process was almost painless. If I need an endodontist, I will return to Pittsburgh Roots Endodontics.

Had three roots canals done (two at the same time) when I felt slight pain during the two roots canals all I had to do was raise my hand and they stopped immediately and addressed the problem.

Going to an Endodontist for a root canal is not something to look forward to. This was my first visit to Pittsburgh Roots Endodontics and they were amazing. I felt very little to NO pain during the entire procedure. Dr. Jeffery Pepper was very professional and kept me informed of every step of the procedure. I highly recommend Pittsburgh Roots Endodontics to everyone.

My husband was referred to Pittsburgh Roots Endodontics by his dentist for a root canal. He found Dr. Parker and his staff to be extremely caring and professional. The entire procedure was painfree and without complications. He highly recommends Pittsburgh Roots Endodontics.

As someone who does not write reviews…let me tell you!! Dr. Parker and his staff are quite amazing! They were all very nice from the time I called to make the appointment, from when I called because I didn’t know where to go in the parking lot (due to my own fault for not writing down the suite number😅) to when I walked in and until I walked out. The Dr and his coworkers were very sweet and caring before I even went to my appointment and helped me with my general dentist and insurance (which gave them a pain in the you know what if you ask me!) but they wouldn’t say the same lol. This was my first ever root canal, and honestly I was so nervous and anxious as I pictured it like that scene in Finding Nemo 😂 I’ve always heard nothing but horror stories about the process, but after his assistant (bad with names 😅) explained everything to me I felt as ease. Both her and the provider explained each step of the way of what they were doing and kept making sure I was okay and comfortable throughout the entire process. I felt no pain, and I was so relaxed I could have went to sleep! You know besides the noises from them drilling in my mouth lol. I would recommend this practice to any and everyone! From calling to make an appointment, to walking out after your appointment and everything in between you will have, in my correct opinion 😂, the best experience treating your root canal you could ever have! I am so thankful and grateful to have been treated by this wonderful team.
