Endodontists - Glendale, AZ

"Dr. Sedell has a difficult personality. He has to be right, he doesn't listen and talks over you. As long as things go his way, he's mostly ok. When things don't - beware. He started a 2-part a root canal but after the first visit my tooth was excruciatingly painful. He kept insisting it would be sensitive but this wasn't sensitive - it was nearly unbearable for days. The side of my jaw was swollen, after a day or two there was bruising on my jaw and under my chin. When I tried to tell him he got angry, insisting that my tooth was only sensitive and there wouldn't be a bruise. I was scheduled to go back but had to emergency spinal cord surgery the day of my appointment. After a week long stay at NY Presbyterian's Spine Hospital and 3 days at home I called his office to get a new appointment. Fortunately, the pain medication for my back keep my toothache at bay but as I ended the pain meds, my toothache flared up again. I told Dr. Sedell's office about my tumor and emergency surgery but when I called, he blamed me for my toothache saying it was my fault because I missed my appointment. When I reminded him why, he said everyone has an excuse. I was stunned. He said Aetna didn't pay him enough to bother with me and that there was nothing wrong with my tooth - yet I am still in pain and the side of my jaw is still swollen more than a month later. Dr. Sedell has a serious Napoleonic complex. He is an angry little man in every way. "
