excellent doctor and staff - great root canal and everything was explained in depth

Both my wife and my root canals here were without problems. However I took my son in for a root canal and the situation was completely different. My son is on medi-cal so I was out of pocket for about $1400. The root canal did not take, this happens. He had to have it extracted through a medi-cal dentist. The pocket let by the extraction caused excruciating pain. I called and left a message at Dr. Hoylfield's practice for Dr. Holyfield to either do something (I was informed he only does root canals) or for a referral. There was no reply (then or since). After 3 days of pain I took him to Sai Dental in Sonoma. They saw him the same day and cleaned out the pocket, put a plug in and prescribed antibiotics. What a difference. I will find another dentist from now on if I need a root canal. If you see your child in pain, I believe you would feel just as I do. Update: Just got a call from Dr. Holyfield. I just got madder as he explained that shouldn't have happened. Damn right it should not have happened. Remedy, are you kidding? He asked if we had taken him back to Highland Hospital who had yanked the tooth, that had had his failed root canal, and caused the infected pocket left by the missing tooth. Never again.

Dr.Hollifield was the absolute hands down best root canal expierence I've ever had....and I've had many root canals. He is just wonderful. He doesn't leave you laying there at anytime for more then one minutes time wondering what he's doing, he kindly explains every thing while he's doing it and exactly where your at time wise.
