What patients say

Vibe: professional

This endodontic practice excels at clinical excellence and anxiety management, with Dr. Papworth and Dr. Saylor receiving consistent praise for painless root canals and exceptional patient communication. However, significant frustration emerges around insurance billing practices—the office does not accept insurance and forces out-of-pocket payment despite patient coverage, which has generated serious complaints and a 1-star review. Overall sentiment is strongly positive regarding clinical care and anxiety support, but severely compromised by billing and insurance accessibility issues.
