Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Nerve Pain
Same as the “Sweet Facade” description. Stay awayRoot canal done in October 23 and still experiencing difficultyI have had 2 ENT appointments about my ears and nothing found- mouth is still sensitive in the area of the root canal - Permanent nerve damage. Receptionist needs to take a few deep breaths are get another job. Money up front is no problem. But, when you pay her that kind of money you expect a good result and this was definitely not the case. I will let my dentist know never refer another patient to her. She does not deserve “ONE” Star Rating!

sweet facade
Dont let the sweet teapot office fool you, nor the pleasant staff, nor the credentials. There is a tooth dominatrix behind the facade. Excessive-use of novocaine by numbing the entire side of face and effects lasting 6 hrs. Leans entire body into jaw causing slight tendon damage. Demands full payment before leaving office for the torture.End result: Yes, a fixed tooth but with temporary lockjaw, constant crunching of jaw tendon near ear, stiffness of neck, grinding of teeth. All unproven. Pure evil!!

Time-sensitive root canal
Dr. Pace. her entire staff provided me the best dental experience I have ever had!! The staff was friendly and organized and the office was decorated in a way to make the root canal experience peaceful. Dr. Pace performed a painless root canal and provided and kept me informed during the entire procedure. A truly tremendous experience.

Dr. Pace and her assistant were very welcoming and sweet. Mostly importantly, I had no pain during and after the root canal! I usually don't write reviews, but I would highly recommend Dr. Pace to anyone trying to get a root canal done!

I brought my dad, who was 99 yrs old to an appointment. The doctor kept saying she had another appointment for herself somewhere else. My dad came out from his treatment and became black and blue. The doctor could not get out of the office fast enough.

If you are anxious and know you need that dental work taken care of, dont be afraid. Dr Pace is excellent. I have had alot of dental work and my first experience with Dr Pace was wonderful. No pain with my root canal, I didnt know that was possible. She and her staff were just great. She has taken care of more than one root canal for me. And now it has been some years since I needed a root canal. I dreaded the thought of getting the work done. But I went on line and found, much to my delight, Dr Pace is still doing her thing!!! And as true as my first visit, Dr Pace and her staff took great care of me and my tooth. Another pain free visit. I thank God for such a brilliant doctor. She truly makes the effort to perfect her craft and comfort her patients. Thank you Dr. Pace

Best dentist ever! Referred by the VA for a root canal. Every step of the process was explained clearly to me in layman’s language. Zero pain during and after. I was very pleasantly surprised when Dr. Pace made a follow-up call to me the next day to see how I was doing. The office was clean, warm, elegant and welcoming. The Staff was professional, friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and wish that I could see Dr. pace for all my dental needs. I HIGHLY recommend her!!

Everything from start to finish was professional, warm and inviting, and the procedure was explained in detail. The care and compassion they have for their patients is unmatched. No one is excited to have a procedure done in a dental office but this was the most relaxing and painfree procedure I have ever undergone. You can rest assured you are in good hands with Dr. Pace.

I have been going to the dentist for most of my life. I have had many root canals. They have all been terrible, painful experiences. I have never had a more pleasurable root canal than that provided by Dr. Pace and her excellent staff. Procedures were explained, the whole experience was designed to make the patient calm and confident in the outcome of the procedure..
