The most horrific experience ever for a root canel I have ever had. At one point he squirted water into my open cut of my gum, and water and blood came gushing out my nose. My face was bruised for a week after. His bedside manner was nonexistant (which is ok if the dentist is good). I ended up having to get the tooth pulled (by someone else) because he didn't do the root canel correctly and I had an infection. I had a choice to go back to him or pull it....and I'd rather be without a tooth? then go back to this monster. the entire procedure was brutal. not to mention, the front desk overcharged me, and I had to go back to prove it and get a refund. Find someone else! I cannot understand how he still is in practice.

I wish I had looked elsewhere. I went where my dentist recommended despite the negative reviews because I like to give people a chance and they could get me in right away. I have had 3 root canals in the past and this is the WOSRT experience I have ever had. He was so unnecessarily rough. I went in with an infected tooth and when I left, and the numbing went away, I was in worse pain than before. I know root canals leave you sore! Again and I am not new to root canals. But he was so rough and used so much pressure on a tooth he knew was infected and swollen. This is the worst experience with any dentist or endodontist I have had. If you are afraid of the dentist or nervous about a your root canal, I recommend you choose somewhere else.

My experience was not a good one. I was one of 5 emergency root canals the Dr had that day. The pain lasted for 6 months, I was given multiple antibiotics. Finally the problem was diagnosed by a more experienced and kinder Endodontist who fixed the issue and went on to do another root canal with no pain. Dr Radke also "takes insurance" but he was out of network. Be sure to get an in network Endodontist from your insurance company, otherwise you can get a hefty bill of nearly 2000 dollars.

My husband went to the office today for a root canal. The complete lack of any kindhearted bedside manner was very off putting. To the point, he actually told the doctor and his hygienist as he left that they severely lack in it. The hygienist didn’t even give him eye contact or offer any kind words after it was brought up. A $1300 root canal procedure seems to have been done well, but it was done in under 25 minutes with such a hurried demeanor that they didn’t even put glasses on my husband. When he asked for them as the light was blaring in his eyes, they seemed irritated he asked. I guess it was slowing down their nascar pit crew-like best time. Very disappointing as true good medical care is far beyond just the procedure itself, and it seems like they don’t recognize the patient as a human being in the chair.

I had two weeks of horrible tooth pain and my dentist contacted Dr. Radke to see if he could get me in as soon as he had availability. He was so booked out he stayed open late for me, which is amazing and says it all!!! I needed a root canal and an hour later it was completely done!!! I had no pain during the procedure and I have had zero swelling and only slight pain that doesn’t even need medication from the healing process. I ABSOLUTELY recommend him without hesitation!!!!
