What Patients Are Saying
We love our job, but you don’t have to take our word for it.
“East Coast Endodontics is probably the BEST dental practice I’ve ever been to!!! From the beginning, the receptionists were so welcoming and helpful. Dr. Rudnicki took his time and explained the procedure, made sure I was comfortable, and answered all my questions. Jesse, the dental assistant, was also very wonderful! 10/10 experience and I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know who needs dental work!”

“After a sleepless Tuesday night due to a painful tooth, I was referred to East Coast Endodontics for a root canal evaluation that SAME DAY. The need was confirmed, antibiotics were prescribed, and the procedure was performed on Friday afternoon. Not only is the responsiveness to my situation impressive, but the practice’s technology is clearly state-of-the-art. From my initial phone call through completion of the procedure, the professionalism and empathy of each staff member were evident and appreciated. During the evaluation, Dr. Sarnowski was patient and thorough in explaining the diagnosis of my problem and the details of the procedure that would remedy my issue. His chairside manner and skill during the procedure were superlative, as was his review of the post-operative instructions. Best of all — I have had no pain since the completion of the procedure!”

“Coming from someone who has had trauma with dental work as a teenager. I HIGHLY recommend this office from the front desk all the way to Dora, Dr. Harris, and the check out with Michelle, what a great experience. I went in with extreme anxiety however, I was put at ease the moment I sat in the chair. I was super impressed with Dora and Dr. Harris’s bedside manner. The interaction/communication with each other and care they had for me, checking on me throughout the whole procedure just truly appreciate them! All I can say is I understand completely why this office has such a high rating! I wish they could do all my dental work! To top it off, I even got a follow-up call today, the day after my procedure, to check on me! You are not just another number to this office they actually CARE which is hard to find in today’s world! Thank you again for this wonderful experience and the relief you provided me!”
