I went to Dr. Pinsky on a friend's recommendation because he accepts certain dental insurance, including that of my employer, as full payment even when some of the claim as filed is denied by the insurer. I was initially very pleased with my decision. He took me on short notice as a first time patient for dental pain and I ended up needing a root canal -- my first, and it was not nearly as bad as I had feared it would be. Dental cleanings that followed were unremarkable but completely fine. I also had a couple of teeth filled with no incident. Then I needed two more root canals and I had a *great* deal of trouble. Dr. Pinsky could never get my mouth dead enough so that I couldn't feel pain. Apparently this phenomenon was related to a sinus infection I had at the time. Nevertheless, due to the extreme discomfort, I switched to another dentist. If you are just looking for cleaning and incidental procedures, I fully recommend this dentist. His staff is pleasant and accommodating.
