I was dreading a root canal. Dr. Schwartz made the experience as comfortable as possible. He explained everything to me and was patient and answered all my questions.

“I didn't feel a thing!!”
Best dental experience so far. The numbing worked during my root canal, now I'm on my way to my regular dentist for a crown. I would highly recommend Dr. Schwartz. I will definitely be back if I ever need endo work. Staff seems happy and was very friendly. Thanks much!

“Professional, Highly Skilled, and Kind”
Dr. Schwartz is superb. He has an excellent, calming "bedside" manner, and a gentle touch. He and his staff are friendly
and very professional. I highly recommend.
