Southtown Endodontics

"Amazing doctors and amazing staff! 100% will recommend this office to anyone needing a root canal, retreat, etc. They got me in quickly and were very thorough in their diagnosis. I was comfortable the entire time and didn’t feel a thing."

"Two root canals later and now one of my teeth has to be extracted, which was determined by a different endodontist, because Dr. John Vandenberghe literally would have kept performing root canals in my mouth until he would have been lucky enough to figure out the issue. I spent close to four hours on two separate visits answering his ridiculous questions about why I thought my teeth were hurting, and going through repetitive uncomfortable testing procedures because he couldn’t figure out where my abscess was coming from, but instead of admitting it, he decided to blame me, and when I couldn’t answer his questions he went as far as calling me a liar for not being able to identify which exact tooth was hurting, and during one of the root canal procedures, he proceeded to say that he left me speechless for once, while my mouth was wide open and I couldn’t communicate, and while talking about religious and personal matters with his assistant for the entire duration of the procedure. During our visits, he rolled his eyes, interrupted me repeatedly with a smirk on his face while I asked specific questions, and got frustrated because I wasn’t able to identify where my abcess was originating. After two root canals and the abscess not going away, I called his office to schedule another appointment to determine what the next step was. I gave his rude and know it all receptionist a three hour window availability to schedule me for another consult. She proceeded to say that they couldn’t see me during that three hour frame on any day of the week and tried to arrange my work and family schedule to their convenience, and went as far as telling me to ask someone to pick up my kids from school or take the morning off work. She then put Dr. Vanderbergue on the phone without previous notice and he was not willing to find a solution or give me any options on what the next step would be either. He was condescending and compared my job to his, argued with me sarcastically, didn’t take responsibility for having called me a liar before, for calling me sweetie and other very unprofessional names, for telling me to have my husband call them if he had any questions about MY teeth, or being completely unprofessional in numerous occasions. He just defended himself and did not know where to go from there, so he decided to put the blame on me again saying that it sounded like I didn’t want to see him again, which he was so relieved about, because he didn’t have a clue on what to do next. But didn’t have a problem taking payment for two root canal procedures that did not fix the issue. Went to another endodontist and the experience was like night and day, he figured out the issue within minutes and also treated a dead tooth that Dr. Vandenbergue didn’t even notice due to the lack of newer technology and interest in the patient. Do not ever go there, nobody cares about patients or their needs and there are plenty of endodontists out there to choose from."

"I had a great experience here. Everyone was kind and hard working. The doctor worked for 1.5 hours straight to get my job done. He had to sand down the tooth a couple of days after, and it was no charge. I recommend this place."

"I was so nervous to have a root canal that I put it off for a couple of months. It was apparent, the endodontist was very skilled, precise and helped make me feel at ease. It went as well as having a root canal could have possibly gone and not much pain the following day. I hardly ever leave reviews, but felt this was necessary. He even called the following day to check on me. Not wishing for any more anytime soon, but given the nature of what it was, this was a great experience!"

"I had a fantastic experience at Southtown Endodontics. John took great care of me during my root canal and even called me the next day to make sure I was doing okay. I am finally able to have cold and hot drinks again as well as chew on my left side, which I hadn’t been able to do for 2 years. I can’t thank John and his staff enough, they were so professional, kind and hard working. I am so pleased with my results and I’ll recommend Southtown Endodontics to anyone that may be in need of dental work that I know."
