I saw Dr Melrod at the reccomendation of my dentist. My experience was the worst I have ever had in my life. Dr Melrod attempted to do a root canal , and charged me the full price for only completing 1/4 of the job. After three tries, numerous injections of novocaine - he could not complete the root canal, charged me $1500 and told me to come back later to finish the job - I told him I was going to Los Angeles for a week and was it safe to fly. He said it was. On the plane, I was in so much pain - I went to another dentist in Los Angeles who easily and successfully did the root canal. Dr Melrod did not refund my money.
Eight years later, I was telling my new endodontist about my experience without mentioning names and he said "Was it Melrod?" Apparently, Dr. Melrod has a very bad reputation among dentists in DC. Words of caution for anyone going - BEWARE and don't pay in advance.
