St Petersburg Endodontics 4805 49th Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33709

"I cracked my tooth on a date pit (be careful!) and ultimately ended up needing a root canal. My first ever. My dentist referred me to Dr. Hendricks at St. Petersburg Endodontics, and I'm SO glad!! While dentists sometimes do root canals, if I ever need one again in the future or if my family/friends need one, I will strongly recommend an endodontist, and if they're in St. Petersburg, this practice. The level of professionalism and care I received from start to finish was phenomenal. No one wishes for a root canal and I was extremely nervous, but this experience makes me so grateful that I got the chance to experience St. Petersburg Endodontics. The front desk got me in the same day (which was crucial as I left for a week-long business trip the next day and was in a lot of pain) and explained the total cost upfront so I was prepared. While my insurance is out of network, they're still going to try to run it for me to see if I'll get anything back. The assistant to the endodontist was incredible. She was super friendly, explained everything that was going on, and was comforting me throughout the process to quell my nerves. She gave me a pillow and offered a blanket to make me as comfortable as possible. She took off and put on my temporary crown expertly and worked very well with Dr. Hendricks. I'd want her to be my friend if I had met her somewhere else! Dr. Hendricks himself was wonderful. He was able to diagnose my issue with the office's advanced technology and confirmed I unfortunately did need a root canal. It was painless in his capable hands. The worst part was the novocaine (or whatever anesthetic they used) shot and keeping my jaw open (which he kindly massaged after because he saw my pain) for the procedure, no pain from the process!! He expertly numbed me up and got to work. The whole process from arrival to departure only took an hour. Dr. Hendricks even called later that night to check up on me! Fortunately, aside from the typical post op discomfort, I have no pain and am healing well. If you need a root canal, GO HERE."

"My dentist referred me to St. Petersburg Endodontics. Every team member I interacted with from Missy at the beginning, and Heather at the end was very professional and friendly. Ashia, one of the outstanding dental assistants "prepped" me and was present throughout the procedure. Dr. Hedrick expertly performed my first root canal and there was no pain. I highly recommend St. Petersburg Endodontics and Dr. Hedrick for his expertise, and genuine interest in his patients."

"My first ever root canal and what a wonderful experience! Dr Hedrick had a very gentle and caring touch, didn’t feel anything! His staff is very attentive and knowledgeable and they all make you feel comfortable…If you need to have a root canal, Dr Hedrick is the expert to see! Debi Sibley"

"I arrived at this office after an emergency dental referral to them from my local dentist. Frankly the pain was so great, I just was glad they had an opening and did not have any knowledge of this office and just drove from my dentist to Dr. Hedrick's office. Thank goodness I was sent here as from the moment I entered the the office the quality of care and skill of the entire team was unsurpassed. They quickly identified the issue, developed treatment plan and implemented with great care. While no one likes to be in this spot, the level of professionalism made the experience much better. Thank you again."

"I don’t generally leave reviews but I must say - Dr. Hendrick’s office was top notch. They were able to accommodate me same day for a needed root canal that had started causing pain over the weekend (which was such a relief - if you know, you know, that pain is no joke!). The entire staff was not only professional, but also so kind, personable, and warm. Asia and Dr. Hendrick went above and beyond to make sure there was no discomfort during and after the procedure. They explained each step along the way and really did a great job at eliminating any anxiety that generally comes with a root canal procedure. This office is the epitome of customer care and service making even the most uncomfortable and taxing procedures - like a root canal - an enjoyable experience."
