Dr. Nils Elden Danielson

Having a root canal can be a scary process. Dr. Danielson makes sure you understand the process and puts you at ease throughout the procedure. I would not hesitate to send friends and family to Dr. Danielson.

I had a root canal retreatment done after a failed root canal by Dr. Danielson. I had excruciating pain after my surgery due to an infection that had developed. His staff are rude and unhelpful. They refused to give me pain medication to get through the first couple days despite my severe pain. I would NOT recommend this office for anyone looking for a quality endodontist.

Dr. Danielson was able to fit me in for an emergency root canal. He was so kind and really did his best to calm my fears about the procedure

This was the worst medical experience I’ve had in my life, and I have had elbow surgery and stomach surgery. Dr Danielson completely destroyed my tooth by performing a failed root canal the first time on purpose so I’d have to come back in for another. I went back in to have it done again and I am in extreme pain over a week later. The staff denied me pain meds and told me to keep taking ibuprofen. I have lost a week of my life to this. Just look at the other negative reviews concerning these scam artists indicating the same treatment by Danielson and staff. I have never been treated so poorly in my life. I have not been able to work for over a week and they told me I’d be back the next day. Absolutely awful, do not trust the positive reviews on here - they are paid for by the company!

My first visit could not have been better. Dr. Danielson and his staff was very personable, friendly and efficient. I experienced VERY LITTLE pain, which was a very pleasant surprise. Mandy was a pleasure even though she had the "fun" duty of delivering the numbing injections.. no pain.. just a pinch. Follow up visit went very fast and efficiently. No pain experienced. I would recommend Dr. Danielson and his office.

Awesome job done by this DR! Staff is wonderful, helpful and very caring. Wouldn't go anyplace else.

This was the worst dental experience I’ve ever had. Dr.Danielson preformed an unnecessary root canal which has resulted in nerve damage.His staff was very rude and condescending treating me like I was a drug addict because I asked for pain medication after a root canal. After admitting to the mistake I was offered a small portion of my money back. I found him arrogant,dismissive and un-remorseful. I’ve never been treated with less respect in a medical setting.

I don't even know if I would go here for free. I ignored red flags and shouldn't have. He treated the WRONG tooth, with NO excuse. I made an appointment for consultation about mild (but constant) pain in back teeth. During appointment confirmation, the ONLY thing the office asked was how much I'd be able to pay for treatment, even though I hadn't even met with the dr. to form a treatment plan. I should have cancelled then. During the consultation, none of my teeth hurt during the percussion test, and only one showed sensitivity to cold. I did not know this then, but I now know this is a sign of REVERSIBLE pulpitis, which would probably have resolved on its own. With his degree, though, the doctor should have known that. However, he decided the tooth needed a root canal. He also decided a tooth with a calcified root needed a root canal. At least the latter was accurate. Both teeth were in the front, away from the pain in the back (which is STILL present, months later). However, he chose to do a root canal on the tooth with REVERSIBLE pulpitis, not the one that was actually dead. He either does not know the difference between reversible and irreversible pulpitis, or intentionally destroyed a good tooth to ensure a second visit for the actual bad tooth. I don't know which is worse. The office said they would contact me the following day. They did not. I called them two days later, and the office was extremely rude. When I told them I was in *extreme* pain - pain that far surpassed the discomfort I had when I went to their office, they were dismissive of my pain and just tried to schedule me for the second root canal. My dentist didn't want me to rush into a second root canal and said she discussed this with Danielson. Still, when I called the office to obtain my records, the office staff kept saying I needed to come in for the second root canal. When I tried to explain I was reluctant to come for a second root canal when the first one had made the pain so much worse, the office staff became EXTREMELY rude and said I didn't know what I was talking about (I'd had a root canal about 3 years ago with ZERO problems like this). A few weeks later a second dentist suggested a root canal on the calcified tooth. I went to a different endodontist and the pain was NOTHING compared to what I experienced with Danielson (probably in part because they were actually fixing a problematic tooth). However, the pain that did not begin until Danielson worked on me, including pain radiating up my cheek, still remains. My dentist says he probably missed a nerve, and my dentist has said they have spoken with Danielson and says he will go back in and fix the tooth (Danielson has not spoken directly with me, even though I have called his office several times - each time I call the staff pretty much say, 'I don't know what you're talking about' and start speaking over me when I try to explain), however I don't know how much I would trust someone to fix something when they messed up so badly the first time. I am saving up to have it inspected and redone at a different office. I don't even know if I would go here for free. I ignored red flags and shouldn't have. He treated the WRONG tooth, with NO excuse. … More

Highly recommended, the doc, has a great bedside manor, and the entire staff from the front to the back are Awesome. He took, what i assumed, was going to be an unpleasant experience and made it bearable. Twice :

He essentially destroyed a good tooth by doing a root canal on a tooth that clearly had REVERSIBLE pulpitis and would have gotten better on its own. A tooth that was DEFINITELY damaged and NEEDED treatment was supposed to wait for a second visit. I can only guess this was because he KNEW I'd have to go in for a second root canal on the actual bad tooth. He seemed distracted during the procedure, and the tooth still hurts over 4 months later. I think he missed a nerve.
