Anyone who uses the worn-out phrase “I’d rather have a root canal” has never met Dr. Allen Sawyer. After my experience with Sawyer Endodontics last week, I am pleased to tell you that Dr. Sawyer and his staff allayed my fears, made me feel comfortable and cared for, impressed me with ultra-modern technology, proceeded gently and quietly, were intuitive to my needs and my questions, and made the pain go away in less than an hour. The sure sign came in just a few days when I was able to chew on that tooth, which I had not been able to do for the past six weeks. Besides being a great endodontist, Dr. Allen Sawyer is a righteous gentleman with an engaging chairside manner, and a sincere desire to make life better for every person who comes to him for help.
