I just left Dr. Slingbaums office after having a root canal procedure, so I wanted to write this review as soon as possible so I could advise the public of the exact details. I was absolutely appalled by Dr. Slingbaums bedside manner. While he was numbing my tooth he became frustrated because I was moving. At one point he said in a rude and frustrated manner, thats your problem you are moving too much. When someone sticks a needle in your jaw it can be painful and you may jerk, but not on purpose. He was extremely rude and had me in tears throughout the procedure. Not to mention the office I was in was missing floor paneling and the instruments were not covered in plastic, like standard dental facilities. I would like to advise that if you are in need of a root canal, head to the mainland or another endodontist because Dr. Joel Slingbaum severely lacks patient compassion and medical professionalism.

Dr. Slingbaum is a real pro. I was pretty nervous about my first root canal, having heard about how painful it is. He set me at eas very quickly, was extremely professional, and quickly got to work. 40 minutes and zero pain later, he was done. Hes obviously done this thousands of times, and his experience showed. Highly recommended.
