Dr. Roach was very thorough in providing treatment, and I am very happy with how well she administered anesthetic and how careful she was doing my root canal. Her assistant was so helpful and made me very comfortable throughout the process. I will recommend (and have already recommended) anyone who is in need of endodontic treatment to see Dr. Roach.

I am a little perplexed in that this experience was so much BETTER, I am less hesitant to have this procedure done in the future, Hope I don't ever need it again but it was not that bad at all.

I cannot say enough great things to describe my care under Dr, Roach and her assistant. Both were professionals in every sense of the word. They listened to my needs, and provided better than exceptional care to me. Thank you to both of them!

This was the first time I met Dr. Roach. I found her to be EXTREMELY GOOD at her job and VERY CARING!!! She never seemed rushed and I could tell she wanted to make sure I knew what was going on with my tooth and how the procedure would go. She answered all my questions with patience and a real caring attitude! Her assistant was just as professional and caring! I really appreciated how they let me know along the way how the procedure was going!
