I was referred to Doctor Ray Van der Werf by my current Dentist. I needed a root canal, and had never had one in my life. He is a Endodontic which is a specialist in Root Canals. I have only ever heard horror stories from every one I know about their experience with Root Canals. I made my appt, over the phone, the girl I spoke to was very nice and explained a lot to me over the phone. They got me in very quickly and I was off of work already on that particular day so it was perfect. My boyfriend drove me as I would be drugged(Thank You Jesus) because, when it comes to tooth pain I cannot handle it. The Office was easy to find, and lots of parking in the lot. His office is on the 2nd floor. A nice clean office and relaxing Vibe all the way around. This type of thing is very important to me. I am sorry to say I do not remember the nurses name, but she was a lovely, calm girl and very pleasant. The Dr. was wonderful! He explained every thing, and also had a very nice calm vibe. He did the root canal quickly and amazingly it was pain free. Getting a filling was more stressful. I was so happy, and felt really at peace when I left. He wrote me a script for some pain medicine. which I did not need till later in the day. But, I was happy to have it there ready for me. Because, did I mention I hate tooth pain. If I ever needed another Root canal this would be where I would go. If you live in the Valley I highly recommend him as well. I am grateful to of had such a positive experience. Thank you to Dr. Van der Werf and his staff.
