Posted On: 03/15/2017 I have had 3 root canals in the past 15 months, all done here. The entire staff is excellent. The assistants are all very knowlegable and the doctors are wonderful. I give them 5 stars! Nancy S website Logo Google Review
Posted On: 02/09/2017 This place is incredible!!! It's like the Disney World of dental office! Ok, so maybe that's a bit extreme, but Pinehurst Endo is amazing. My general dentist referred me here after seeing and x-ray that indicated a tricky root canal was in order.

I have serious dental anxiety. I have to take anxiety meds just for a filling and even a cleaning makes my palms clammy and I wince at the scraping sounds. I was on the verge of a panic attack prior to the appointment that morning and when I arrived I thought I might start crying in their office. The thought of a root canal was terrifying.

Everyone was fantastic. The front desk staff were warm and friendly and continued to reassure me that everything would be fine (even though I kept hearing 'yeah right' in my head). Stacey was the dental assistant during my procedure and she was so nice. Dr. Corcoran came in and I told him that I had taken my prescribed Xanax that morning and I didn't think it was working because I was still super nervous. He assured me it would be fine. To my surprise I felt NOTHING (I always feel something!). It was over before I knew it. By the end of my visit I was laughing and smiling with the staff.

I have been telling everyone I've seen today, 'if you need a root canal, go there.' Unfortunately, I will have to be back later in the year, but if I have to have another root canal, Pinehurst Endodontics and Dr. Corcoran is who I'm going to see!

Posted On: 02/09/2017 I do not believe I can articulate just how amazing this team is, and how good they are at what they do!

I have severe dental anxiety, and take anxiety medication when I need to have dental work. Sometimes that doesn't even work completely. I was really quite worried about the possibility of a root canal and the morning of had a near panic attack.

Dr. Corcoran and his team were phenomenal. They did their best to make me feel at ease prior to the root canal and once it got started, it was over before I knew it. If you are the slightest bit concerned about the work you may be having here, don't be! The only downside is they don't do general dentistry. I wish I could come to them for everything! :)

Posted On: 01/13/2017 Yesterday, I had my first root canal. To say I was nervous was an understatement. The entire experience was far better than I expected. From the friendliness of his assistant to the injection to the procedure itself...
Thank you Dr. Corcoran and staff.

Posted On: 10/26/2016 What an incredible staff. Dr. Corcoran and DA Whitney Alford were extremely patient oriented and put me at ease very quickly. The entire procedure took less than an hour with very little, if any, real discomfort. I highly recommend both of these fine dental professionals.
God Bless!

Posted On: 07/27/2016 I saw Dr. Corcoran for a root canal and was so very impressed with him, with Karen, with Tiffany and the lady who checked me out. This entire office is such a warm, friendly, caring office and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing an endodontist. Marion M website Logo Google Review

Posted On: 08/18/2015 Just had the quickest easiest root canals ever. (I now have 2) I've heard many great things about Dr. Corcoran and they are all true. I was very relaxed the whole time, and was in and out in an hour. Staff is super friendly and personable and that is an A+ in my book. Thank you!

Posted On: 05/11/2014 I was referred to the clinic through my dentist. I had a toothache and was in pain, they were able to get me in the next day! I just wanted to say how helpful everyone was from the staff up front to Tonya and Dr. Cochran. Everyone was so nice and made me relaxed in a stressful situation. I am feeling pain free! :) I will tell anyone who needs this kind of work done to come to you, thanks again to all! Tina P
Posted On: 03/17/2014 Who knew that in today's day and age, that a patient can receive good old-fashioned patient-based care? Not only did this office open for me on their day off for my emergency situation, they did it with smiles and gratitude that I had chosen them for my care! Amazing culture and exceptional care, that's what defines this office! Thank you! Gary B
Posted On: 01/16/2014 All of the 5 star reviews are absolutely True along with the website introductions! My welcome into the practice was very friendly, informed, and comforting- thanks Trinity.
Dr. Corcoran took me thru the treatment with a lot of friendly encouragement, updating, and top Quality workmanship. Before, during, and after, Tonya was a dental Angel, creating a reassuring connection to take home that I really appreciated. This is top of the mark endodontia I was blessed with today! Thanks to them and my hometown dentist for referring me!

Posted On: 11/12/2013 I was a little concerned that my planned root canal would put me out of commission for a while...but it was a breeze. I found the staff to be more than helpful and knowledgeable and Dr. Corcoran was wonderful. I was in at 9:00 and when I got into my car to leave it was 10:25...and I felt great...Thanks so much for taking such good care of me!!!! Beverly L

Posted On: 08/27/2013 The welcoming staff at Pinehurst Endo have been so kind. Going in, I have to say I was pretty worried but the assistants and Dr. Corcoran helped put me at ease. I felt he was very concerned about me and the pain I was feeling. They explained what was going to happen and asked if I had any questions. I was reassured thoughout the process and could let it be known if I was ever in pain. They were gentle and sensitive to my needs and took extra great care of me! I would highly recommend them to anyone. Jennifer B

Posted On: 08/15/2013 Everyone seemed to be really nice and understanding and i'm glad I went to their office Amanda D
Posted On: 08/14/2013 Went to Dr Corcoran for a root canal with the memory of medieval dentistry from my last one done elsewhere years back. This was amazing. Quick, easy, painless, Great Dr. Great Staff. Highly Recommend. Robert S
Posted On: 08/13/2013 Extremely Professional, from Dr. Corcoran to the Dental Assistants, to the Office Personnel. Each and everyone was very pleasant and made you feel at home and very comfortable to be there. One would get the feeling as if they had been going there for years and years. I came in for a Root Canal. A little apprehensive I will admit, but the first smile was relaxing and reassuring. The CDA was amazing and very patient with my inability to fully cooperate (LOL!) to get the Xrays she needed so badly. The friendly teamwork of another CDA helped capture the moment and together, we obtained the picture of the area to be worked. The CDA explained everything that would be used and how the procedure would follow. Dr Corcoran was great. His very personable and his friendly personality was comforting. He spoke to my CDA with respect and as an equal. He genuinely cared about the answers he received from her. That to me speaks volumes about the work atmosphere of the practice. I would highly recommend anyone considering PINEHURST ENDODONTICS to do so without hesitation. The experience was surely a pleasant one and I'm positive you would enjoy it too!! Great Job!!!!

Posted On: 08/12/2013 I am a dental hygienist, so you would think I wouldn't be nervous about a root canal. I have reassured my patients that this office was the one to go to. I have seen first hand the work that comes from this office & it is top notch. I knew the staff & knew they would put them at ease. I have always gotten good feed back from my patients. Now, I can give my on testimony as to how great this office is! I felt as if I was with family. I was nervous about the thought of a root canal, but once I was there, I was quickly put at ease by the staff. They showed me the x-rays & explained things to me. I didn't even feel the shot! I was so comfortable I just about fell asleep while Dr. Musselwhite was working on me! I had no pain afterwards! This is a great office & I highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks so much guys!

Posted On: 08/12/2013 I had a cavity filled and after, had immense pain in my tooth and jaw. I made an appointment with Pinehurst Endodontics and they were very helpful in scheduling the appointment and answering my many questions about insurance coverage. My pain had lessened when I had my appointment and Dr. Musselwhite was very helpful and thoroughly explained why I had so much pain initially after my cavity filling and how my nerve was repairing itself and should continue to get better. Everyone in the office was super friendly and I felt very comfortable there. Linda D
Posted On: 08/10/2013 Best dental experience I have ever had!!!! Dr Corcoran and his staff are one of a kind. They were kind and sympathetic to my needs. You're definitely in good hands at Pinehurst Endo! France's H
Posted On: 08/09/2013 I came in on August 8th for my procedure. I was a little worried. But the doctor and assistant were so kind and gentle. They talked to me about what was going to take place and asked if I had any questions. I understood what they were going to do and was comfortable with all they told me. If I felt even a tiny pain I could tell them and they would and did take care of it. I am very pleased with them and the care they took of me. I recommend them to everyone. They are very caring and gentle with you. Any fear I had was eased by the way they talked with me and explained what they would be doing. I highly recommend them and would come back to them for future dental needs. Sonia H
Posted On: 08/08/2013 I had always heard horror stories about having a root canal but your staff along with Dr.James Corcoran made this such a pleasant experience. It was a piece of cake. I actually was so relaxed that I was snoring during the procedure. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone that needed a root canal.The staff was so pleasant and highly informative throughout the entire procedure. Thank you so much for making my first experience having a root canal a pleasant one. You guys are awesome! Susan G
Posted On: 08/07/2013 I am extremely terrified of the Dentist and the very thought of having a root canal makes me have a panic attack!! I can definitely say without hesitation that Dr. Corcoran and his staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment I walked in the door until the moment I walked out. The procedure itself was absolutely painless and I was able to go straight to work afterwards. Thank you for making this 'chicken' come out with all her feathers intact! Lol! Trisha G
Posted On: 08/07/2013 I have never understood the statement ' I would rather have a root canal than eat asparagus' meaning that a root canal is a bad experience. Well I have had three root canals and I had no pain at all, thanks to Dr. Musselwhite. Thank you for taking such good care of me and saving my teeth. You and your staff are the best. Priscilla
Posted On: 07/31/2013 Seriously don't worry! I was extremely nervous, but my fears disappeared once I walked in their door. Their office is clean and inviting and I was greeted at the door immediately with a friendly smile and hello. The doctor and assistant worked together flawlessly which made my experience a quick and painless one! Of course when my treatment was finished it was time to settle my bill and the lady who checked me out was very nice and had great sense of humor. The office manager came by to say hello and wanted to make sure I had a good experience. What service! I actually left the office with a smile on my face which I was not expecting. If you need a root canal, I highly recommend them! H. P
Posted On: 07/31/2013 I admit it...I have a very low tolerance to pain. When someone says a procedure is 'uncomfortable' then for me I know it will be painful....so when my dentist told me I needed a root canal I was worried sick. I've heard all the stories about root canals and they all spelt 'pain'. My husband warned me it would be 'uncomfortable'. It's been 6 days since I saw my dentist and this morning was the 'dreaded root canal' appointment. In complete honesty from a self - proclaimed whimp my root canal was PAINLESS! Dr. Musselwhite and his staff were not only wonderfully kind but explained exactly what they were going to do and what I would feel. I had my doubts and my anxiety. As it turns out the most painful part of having a root canal was the worry and anxiety I caused myself for 6 days! I've had cleanings that were more 'uncomfortable'. Thank-you Dr. Musselwhite, Karen and the rest of the staff at Pinehurst Endodontics for a truly painless experience! Kim M
Posted On: 07/25/2013 What a great experience! You don't want to have to wish someone to 'have a great Root Canal' but if you do, this is the place!
