The doctor and nurse were outstanding. They were thorough, careful, kind and compassionate. I was pretty nervous, as I've never had any serious work done, and this was as pleasant as it could have been.

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!

Dr. Roach put me completely at ease. She was kind, thorough, and compassionate, both when discussing the problem I had with my tooth, and in pausing to check in with me during the root canal. She also kept me updated on her progress during the procedure which kept me calm.

Dr. Samantha Roach, by far gave me the best dental experience that I have ever had at a dentist office. She is a true professional who made my experience absolutely seamless considering the circumstances with me coming in for a root canal. THANK YOU Dr. Roach!!

Dr. Roach is excellent. She explained everything, took X-rays to check her work, and had a calming demeanor. I was very anxious and uncomfortable, but she was confident and reassuring.

When Dr. Roach found that my tooth was cracked into the root, she recommended not continuing the root canal, but having the tooth extracted. I'm grateful for her response to my situation and her conservative approach.
