Hi-
In
response to your post on the hp list serv, i had a wonderful experience (as far
wonderful as dental experiences can be) at Drs. Jason Strcula and Juliette
Murcko's office in Lawrenceville/Bloomfield, right across from the Children's
Hospital. The work I had done was virtually painless, and Dr. Strcula was
extremely helpful and professional.

Hi Betty -
You actually need an endodontist and a dentist. A dentist who will do root canals is practicing outside of their scope. An endodontist is specialized in root canals. If you need a complicated extraction, you may need an oral surgeon. The dentist can then do the restorative work (crown, implant, etc.).
I can recommend my endodontist - Rick Smith at Associated Dental Specialists. I go to the Oakland office, which is a little low-rent, but they have taken good care of me - 3 root canals this year!!! Yikes!
I can NOT recommend my dentist. Julie Chetlin on Craig Street. She bought the practice last year from my long-time dentist. I have given it a year and we are not a good fit. I find her to be snotty with her staff as well as me. Also, I have had many choices to make this year, with all this dential work, and she will not provide education when offering choices and options. Her answer to everything I ask is "Well it's up to you. I don't really know." Like I said, she is snotty.
So, I am in the market for a new dentist.
When you get a list together, could you share either back with me, or with the list?
Many thanks!
Mary
Betty--
I'm pretty sure my dentist does all of those things! He's really great, and the scheduling system is such that new patients and emergencies can easily be handled in a timely manner.
Dr. Horan
On Murray Ave in Squirrel Hill
Good

Edward Korenman is an excellent dentist. He
does crowns and root canal and works with an associate who is a dental surgeon
in cases where surgery is necessary. His office is in Squirrel Hill but
well worth the trip.
