Dr. Craig Joseph Berry

My experience with Dr. Craig Berry was very good. I had a crown that fell out and when my regular dentist tried to reattach it, my tooth was too painful. I called for an appointment at Montville Endodontics and was able to get an appointment with Dr. Berry that night at 8 PM. I told him this was my first root canal and was very nervous about experiencing more pain. He seemed to be very understanding, did a great and relatively painless procedure and I was finished by 9:15 PM. Prices are high at Montville Endodontics, but I guess you get what you pay for. Even though he gave me Advil and Tylenol and said I should take every 4 hours, I experienced NO pain that night, the next day or subsequently. I was very happy about that.

I decided to write this review regarding Dr. Craig Berry (endodontist) so as to warn everybody about his guy. In one short plain sentence-------He is one inconsiderate money grubbing fellow that is interested in one thing only ------namely making lots of money. The patient for him does not exist--- only how much money is involved for his service !! I went to hlm for a root canal and he urged me to get the authorization from my insurance company to allow him to go ahead with the work. It was not easy to do and took me four weeks and many phone calls to get it done (and that was working with his office too). Finally it came to me and I made an appointment to see him. I go to to the office---- sat in the waiting room for 2 hours and he calls me in to sit in the dental chair---- then asks me what he can do for me. I showed him the authorization for the root canal-- He looked at the x ray for 3 seconds--- never looked into my mouth and then said "I can't do anything for you"… !!!!!! To say I was upset is an understatement !!!!--- I begged him to do the root canal and he got real angry---- the more I talked the angrier he got---- I even asked him if he could just clean out the cavity and not do the root canal--- just remove the cavity---- he did not not want to touch me. So I left the office in a rage---- To add "insult to injury" ---- before I had an opportunity to get further advice about the root canal, it got worse--- my face got swollen and I had to have the tooth extracted Thanks to this GUY. Immediately I understood that Dr. Berry was not happy with the money my insurance company was going to pay for his service. So why why did he make me go to all the trouble and come to his office (by car service because I have a disability and cant walk easily) and then sit for two hours---- all for nothing I decided to write this review regarding Dr. Craig Berry (endodontist) so as to warn everybody about his guy.
