I felt it was necessary to post a review after my experience yesterday. My primary dentist had arranged for me to have an emergency visit to the Freehold office due to my constant pain that I was experiencing. The office staff at the desk were pleasant and accommodating. Thereafter I was fortunate to meet Dr. O. and her assistant Lauren. Following x-rays to include the 3d xray machine, together the two of them performed an emergency root canal. It was a tough procedure for me because it is difficult for me to breathe from my nose due to allergies. Several times throughout the procedure I needed to stop because of my breathing condition. In fact at one point I thought I was having an anxiety attack. Not once was Dr. O. or Lauren impatient with me knowing that my needing to stop the procedure several times only prolonged them from finishing. Instead they demonstrated comfort the entire time, repeatedly telling me that I was doing well and occasionally rubbing my arm to convince me. I must say that Lauren's bedside manner is beyond belief. She is truly an asset to your practice. The same for Dr. O. She was awesome! To think that I have never met either of them prior and for me to be treated in such a fashion was such a great feeling in a time of need. I thank both of them for their work and treating me the way they did. Amazing! Tom Manzo

Ellen and Sue were very accommodating and courteous, despite the busy schedule. Dr. Yelena did a great job on the root canal while keeping it stress free. The hygienist was very patient and calming. Overall a great experience

I have hated the dentist since i was a child....57 now and still feel the same way. I recently had my second root canal at this practice. All I can say is wow. Clean, professional, caring and painless. If you are putting off a visit out of fear come to this practice they are great and you won't regret it.

Dr. Pellicano was very attentive and very informative during my root canal treatment. He walked me thru the whole process, scans root canal and filling my tooth with a temporary filling. His staff was outstanding before during and after the procedure. I highly recommend Dr Pellicano for a root canal procedure. Thank you again.

I was referred to Dr. Ira Zohn by my dentist. Dr. Zohn was thorough, patient, kind, and informative . He examined my teeth and after considering and discussing each possibility, he advised me to wait and not to have the root canal at the present time. He is a gentleman and a true professional. I appreciate his honesty and care. I will definitely be going back when necessary. My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Zohn and his staff. This office is extraordinary!

I had to have a root canal on my back molar. Gina and Deana were wonderful and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Apolito was Amazing! My treatment was painless, thank you very much Dr. Apolito!

- Emanuel C

I was very nervous coming into the office for my procedure. I had only had one other root canal, and it was a complete disaster (done by another doctor). The staff was very warm and friendly and explained everything prior to it happening. Dr. Apolito walked into the room and immediately put me at ease. It was clear he had done a few of these, and told me exactly what to expect and what I would feel. He was on point! Once the Novocain took effect, I felt nothing! As much of a mess as the first root canal was, that was as good as this one was. I was slightly sore for a few hours, and then it was like it had never been done. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Apolito and his staff to anyone and everyone!

- Ellen G

Wonderful experience! I was a nervous wreck for my first root canal! Dr Ostrometskaya was amazing! From the front desk, to the office manager (my friend Doreen!), to the Dr and her assistant Chelsea, every one was beyond nice and very reassuring that it would be quick and painless! I was so surprised at how quickly it was done (about 15 minutes)! I would highly recommend anyone needing an Endodontist to go here!

Due to a situation at my regular dentist during a root canal, a piece of the "pin" for lack of terminology, was stuck in my root. Also, this was the third time he was trying to do the root canal and clearly he was not the man for the job. My dentist called for me being it was an emergency and right away I was in. I drove to the Ocean office and the office staff kindly greeted me and helped with my insurance information. It was not long that I was seen even though I did not have an appointment and was being seen as an emergency case. The lovely dental assistant (please forgive me I do not remember her name, I was a little stressed out) took the time to listen to me and was even able to reassure me I was now in good hands. She used a special scanner to see what was going on with this tooth and knew right away what had happened. Dr. Ostrometskaya then came in and realized I was upset and nervous and took the time to reassure me that this is what they do. Root canals. And darn were they good. They got right to business. The numbing worked (at my dental office he had tried this procedure theee times and each time he was unable to numb me all the way and yikes did that hurt beyond belief). But not here. I was probably numbed and material was used to specifically home in on the one tooth. The Dr. set to work and she emulated poise, confidence, and knowledge of what needed to be done. And she did it. And I was not in pain! The office even provided a print out for after care and a follow up appointment must occur due to the nature of the tooth and they even accommodated me as my insurance is running out this month. What a team. What a fantastic experience. So professional and yet compassionate. I am so happy my dentist called and I was able to experience the first time since this disaster of a procedure started a feeling that all will be well with this tooth. Thank you to Dr. Ostrometskaya team. I so appreciate it!!!!

I have to say I was extremely impressed with Dr. Antonett Thai & her assistant Lauren! Lauren & I enjoyed some laughs together before Dr. Thai came in which really put me at ease. I went to the office for a scan & ended up having a root canal that very same day. It was so smooth & Dr. Thai was so caring, considerate, & gentle. The 2 of them worked together so efficiently & proficiently I was very impressed! And it was totally painless! Even the next day I didn't need Tylenol! I can't recommend Dr. Thai highly enough & if I ever need any other work done I'll definitely go back to her!

- Cheryl C

I am so happy with my experience, Dr Thai was so nice and gentle. I was made comfortable, and felt relief Immediately. I would highly recommend Dr Thai

I had an hot tooth that needed a root canal and I couldn't get an appointment with my Endodontist but she recommended Advanced. I was leaving in on vacation in 2 days and Advanced fit me in the same day. I arrived on time and was seen right away. Tina the dental tech was great, as was Dr. Apolito. They answered all my questions, showed me the x-rays and explained what they would be doing. The procedure was quick and painless - I was in and out in 50 minutes. The staff are all friendly and helpful and I highly recommend Advanced Endodontics to anyone who needs and Endodontist.

I saw Dr. Apolito twice for re-treatment procedures, once in 2017 and again on May 24, 2021. Dr. Apolito and his assistants worked well together and demonstrated professionalism, while being friendly and considerate. The woman at the reception desk were also friendly and kind, especially Sue. Many thanks to Dr. Apolito and his staff. Best regards.

I would recommend him to all who needs work done

Dr Ira was like a Navy Seal. In and out in less than hour. He fixed a “hot tooth” with precision and care. Saved my weekend after a week of terrible pain. And huge thank you to Christine for working with me on my schedule - this place is awesome.

- Jacqueline G

Absolutely painless dentistry is what you'll find from this office and their amazing staff. My tooth had just broke the day before and they got me within hours with the help of Doreen! Jess and Christine greeted me and were able to answer any of my questions with ease. Dr. Apolito and Shirley eased my anxiety and completed the root canal - pain free! I can go into my weekend without concern for my tooth becoming a problem. Thank you again!

- Anthony D

Like most patients I was a bit nervous coming into the office for revision of a root canal. But from the initial phone call to the moment I arrived I was greeted and assisted by a very professional and courteous staff which put me at ease. Christine was very helpful and patient with me when filling out my paper work /history. Dental Assistant Kelly made me comfortable and put me at ease. The minute Dr. Zohn came into the treatment room I knew I was in good hands; Not only is he competent but you can tell he really cares about the patient; he made sure I was comfortable and in no pain. I sense that Dr. Zohn and his staff not only care about you while you are in the office but also afterwards, and want you to return to your life feeling well. I can highly recommend Advanced Endodontics; They are the best!

root canal are the two scariest words you can hear, but not here. I was in servere pain that keep moving around top and bottom front to back. Dr Zohn was able to not only pin point which tooth was causing the problem but why it was causing the problem. Using his computer added microscope, he found that the area over the nerve had multiple small fractures. He very effiecently completed the root canal in one visit. I felt zero pain during and after the proceedure. I did not tell Dr Zohn or his staff that I have a very sensitive gag reflex. They complete the proceedure without gagging me once. this was very remarkable considering they were working on a second molar. Dr Zohn and his team are very special. I gladly give them my highest recommendation.

Overall, i had an excellent visit with Dr. Thai and her staff. I was impressed with their professionalism and efficiency, and quickly recognized that this is a team that takes, to borrow the term "Do what they do" to the next level. They were very friendly and put me at ease the whole time I was there. I would recommend your dentistry, to my friends and Co-workers. Thank you again.

- alexis c

My root canal was at the Freehold office. Christa, who would be assisting, couldn’t have been more pleasant or reassuring that I would be receiving the best care. I almost looked forward to the procedure after we spoke! Dr. Thai is nothing short of exceptional. There aren’t enough Review Stars here or words to describe how incredibly calming and professional she is. Her expertise showed each and every minute that I was in the chair. The entire appointment exceeded my expectations from start to finish. I’d recommend Dr Thai in a heartbeat.

- LISA C

I had to have two emergency root canals done because I broke my two front teeth in half. Within 2 hours of visiting my regular dentist, who referred me to this specialist office because I have unordinary wide roots in my teeth, I was on the chair having my teeth operated on. There's more to it though. There's a chance that one of my broken teeth is not salvageable, and Dr. Thai was very honest about this. She recommended that my parents and I really think about this decision, as there is a large cost factor involved. The honesty made me feel very comfortable with her. Although this is her business, she did not care just about the money; she was extremely informative, and performed the duty of a doctor perfectly. Everyone in the office showed me a lot of compassion about my injury, and the lady at the front desk was even patient with my mom (she asked a lot of questions about insurance). The procedure was done perfectly (my amateur eyes saw two perfectly filled root canals, which is important I think) and it was painless (they numbed the hell out of my teeth). Although I am unaware of if my tooth remains salvageable, (this is dependent on the crown procedure I will have done somewhere else), everything I needed was taken care of here, and it was done very well. I highly recommend this place if you have the means to come.

Dr. Zohn was so nice very gentle and kind during My root canal procedure. I was so nervous his assistant immediately calm me down when I left I seriously didn’t even feel anything. I had great experience w him and his personality makes it all..

- Joann M

I had a root canal performed by Doctor Ostrometskaya and from my first phone call to Advanced Endodontic until the end of the procedure everything was done in a highly professional manner. The office staff was courteous and very helpful in helping me along with the website forms and sorting out an issue with my insurance. Dr. O and her assistant could not have been any nicer in making feel comfortable and explaining the procedure as they went along. They would stop periodically to make sure I was okay before moving on. For something as unpleasant as a root canal, everyone made the experience as pleasant as they could. I would highly recommend this group.

- Peter K

Very pleased with my overall experience. The procedure went smooth thanks to Dr. Zohn and his staff. Especially appreciated that everything was explained to me simply and clearly pre and post surgery. Everyone was competent, courteous and considerate. Glad they were recommended to me.

I had a tremendous amount of anxiety and trepidation going into the procedure but the staff was kind and courteous upon my arrival and Dr. Zohn was information and eased any fears.

My experience with Dr. Zohn and his staff were top notch from the initial scheduling of the appointment, to the procedure to the billing and the follow-up. Dr. Zohn talked me through the procedure step by step and it was absolutely painless. I was so pleased with the friendly caring nature of this dentist and his excellent skill and professionalism. His assistant Leanna was friendly, skilled and reassuring as well. If you are looking for an absolutely fantastic dental experience, I strongly recommend Dr. Zohn and his staff. Maggie

I saw Dr. Ostrometskaya for a root canal on my front K9 tooth. I was in and out within an hour and felt absolutely nothing 🙂 All I can say is that she was amazing! She was very thorough, professional and clearly extremely competent. Dr. Ostrometskaya explained anything I asked (and I ask lots of questions). Debbie at the front office was great too. Obviously, we all hope we never need another root canal, but if I or my family ever need an Endodontist we found our spot. Overall, easily a 5 star experience!

- Adam W

From the online patient portal to access and complete new patient documents to my interaction with the office and tech staff, mine was a 5 star experience. Everyone was cordial and caring. 100% comfortable with my entire first experience with this Practice. Dr Chris Pellicano took his time and went above and beyond working to extract a broken post in a very difficult situation and carefully explained the procedure from start to finish. Sueanne was especially helpful right from my initial call and helped get me scheduled that same day.

- Ken S
