Giving a 5 based on the care I received- staff were pleasant, helpful and reassuring. Needed a root canal as I had a developing infection and was referred by my dentist as an emergency. Dr. Shapiro was quick and efficient, explained what he was doing, and made me feel comfortable as I was very nervous about having it done.I do however, wish I could give 1 star for the fact that this is the only place you can get the service you need but they most likely won’t take your insurance and you’ll end up paying what you take home in one biweekly paycheck for whatever service you need done, leaving you screwed right before Christmas. Hopefully my insurance can do something for reimbursement. Due to the circumstances, this was my only option for emergency treatment. Also don’t know why X-rays needed to be taken here, as I had gotten some from my regular dentist on the same day (hours before I was referred here) that could have just been faxed over.Other than cost, my experience was good.
Thank you to Dr. Eric Shapiro and Adrienne. Service was amazing, fast and professional. Appt was a consult only never expected to have root canal done same day. You guys are awesome. FYI they explain everything before anything is done ..Again thank you.
Beyond grateful how quickly Dr. Shapiro and his staff got me in around the holidays and made the process so easy. Highly recommend
Had a root canal done January 30 2026 went so well thank you Eric Shapiro and your team for the great experience this is my second root canal and let me tell you the first experience I had at another dentist went horrible I felt the whole procedure with Eric and his team I was shocked I ain’t feel a thing thank you’ll so much I will recommend everyone here
I recently had a procedure done at Western Mass Endodontics with Dr. Shapiro, and I felt it was worth taking a moment to share my experience.Like many people, I went in with some hesitation given the nature of the procedure. However, Dr. Shapiro handled everything with a level of care and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was how seamless and virtually painless the process was, particularly the injections, which are usually the part most people dread.He took the time on the front end to answer questions thoroughly, and just as importantly, made sure everything was addressed afterward as well. That kind of attention to detail and follow-through is not something you see every day. The same goes for the follow-up later that day, which really speaks to the level of commitment to patient care.The office staff was equally professional and supportive throughout the entire visit, which made a noticeable difference in the overall experience.I don’t tend to be easily impressed, but this was one of those situations where it felt warranted. If you find yourself needing this type of care, you’re in very good hands here.Thank you! John
