Tom J Rude

Two weeks after having knee replacement surgery, I needed a root canal to eliminate any chance of infection. My appt was for the next day. As this was my first experience. Dr. Rude and his assistant explained everything and took extra care with my infection risk. I was surprisingly comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Rude took great care in making sure I was not feeling anything. He talked to me throughout which was comforting. I had absolutely no post procedure pain. I would highly recommend Dr Rude and Kirkland Endodontics.

Never had a root canal, never wanted one, but was amazed what an easy process it was at Kirkland Endodontics. I was shocked that I wasn't in the slightest bit of pain the next day, after an excruciating week of pain from an abscessed tooth the week before. Plus the Dental Assistant and Dr. Rude started talking about the videogame Halo while working on me. Anyway, not that I want to have another, but I no longer have any fear about getting a root canal - As long as it's done at Kirkland Endodontics.

Nobody wants to go see an endodontist knowing the outcome could be a root canal. Dr. Rude was patient, methodical, and explained things well. The practice has all the latest tools. In the end I did need a root canal. There was also decay under a filling. The procedure was painless. I highly recommend Dr. Rude.

I had an excellent visit ,Scheduling was easy ,The front office were very helpful. Dr Rude is an amazing Endodontist ,very skilled ,wonderful bedside manner. I give him and his office 5 Stars.

I had developed an infection and the old root canal work had to be redone. Dr. Rude and the staff did an excellent job of dealing with my infected tooth. They also provided all necessary precautions for health safety during this covid event.

I was referred by my dentist for a potential root canal as I had extreme pain in two of my back molars. Dr Rude took the time to carefully assess the problem and determined the need for a root canal. The procedure was painless and completed in an hour. Dr Rude frequently asked me during the procedure how I was doing and listened to my concerns. I highly recommend Dr Rude and the entire staff. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and equally important compassionate.

I have gone to Dr Rude twice for a root canal and have been quite satisfied with not only his excellent care but with the entire office staff as well which also includes the dental assistants. Dr Rude is friendly, never comes across rushed and put me at ease answering all my questions prior to the procedure. He also was checking during the procedure that I was comfortable and explains things along the way when necessary. If anyone I know is having dental issues and may need a consult or work done I tell them about Dr Rude and his tremendous office staff. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I went to Dr Rude on a Friday in July after my dentist diagnosed a failed (20 year old) root canal. My tooth was very infected, he prescribed an antibiotic, and sent me home with pain relievers. The next day (Saturday) my face was really swollen and I called the office. Dr. Munson was on duty and prescribed me a more powerful antibiotic. It worked and I went to see Dr. Rude a week later for the root canal. I was in the chair for almost two hours and when I left I expected a sore mouth but I had no pain afterwards. None. They were all very professional and so caring, I would recommend them to anyone needing specialized dental work.

Came in for a root canal, Dr Rude explains everything as he's taking care of business. Set me at ease and more importantly performed the procedure without any discomfort. Staff were all friendly

I have a fear of the dentist from my childhood experience. Dr. Rude understands how I feel and explains the root canal process plus makes sure I'm numb before beginning. This is greatly appreciated. I am a returning client and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. Vicki O

My most excellent dentist David Richardson DDS referred me to Dr. Rude for a complex root canal. ( I’ve unfortunately needed to get two root canals done here in the past 5 years, so kids brush your teeth and don't eat gum with sugar ) The office team was easy to schedule with and they were able to get me in quickly. Dr Tome Rude explained the procedure and within an hour I was walking out the door pain free! About two months after the procedure I was thrilled to get a check in the mail as my dental insurance paid more than expected. I have no doubts about the skill and integrity of this office and would highly recommend them to anyone needing an endodontic procedure.

Sept. 2016: I had pain in my left upper and lower jaw and was referred to Dr. Rude on short notice. He was not only able to see me the same day of the referral but was able to do the root canal the next morning. Finding the exact problem tooth was not easy but he was persistent and we were able to find which tooth was the problem. The procedure went smoothly and he explained the procedure and what he was doing throughout the procedure. I was highly satisfied with him and his treatment.
