O’connell Michael S DDS PC

Dr. O’Connell is excellent! I heard such horror stories of terribly painful root canals done by other doctors. That wasn’t my experience at all with Dr. O’Connell. He took time to explain everything and I left the office on time with no pain. I could tell he is honest and would never recommend a procedure you don’t need, unlike other places I’ve been. Plus, the staff was very friendly and the office was clean and organized. I would recommend Dr. O’Connell!

All together a pretty decent experience. It’s not like the old days anymore where it’s painful. They start with a topical numbing agent, something actually decently flavored I would add. He lets it take effect while making small conversation, never seeming rushed. By the time he fully numbs you it’s over and done with before you can freak yourself out. Seriously I am a baby and it didn’t hurt at all, which let me tell you, it has previously.
They are not overly progressive (into holistic dentistry). I mentioned that I am on a mission to have all of my amalgam removed when asking about what type of composite they used and the lady at the front desk commented that there is no proof that this prevents anything and she still has all of hers blah blah blah… hmmmm, I wasn’t asking for advice. However, they are fast, efficient, and to the point. The assistant is awesome and the dr. rarely has to even ask her for anything. It is a «well-​oiled» machine between the two.
They don’t double book so you are never waiting «your turn». It’s nice to walk in, get the work done, and walk out. I was told and hour each visit and I walked out early once, and promptly on time the second.
Very fair pricing and excellent coverage with my delta dental plan.
P. s. They used some sort of bleaching solution and it splashed on my clothing… not a big deal but I did wear white the second visit.
