"Dr. Seitzinger did a root canal for me and was excellent! Kind, professional and informative about the procedure. His staff was also very friendly and professional as well! Highly recommend! Painfree and gentle!"
"Very quick procedure. As good as an experience you could ask for, given the situation. Staff was very pleasant and Dr. Shields and her assistant were very professional and personable. I would highly recommend them."
"Literally the nicest staff ever, I appreciate you all so much. I was so worried after past experiences and this was such a lovely experience. I cannot thank you all enough."
"I can see why dr.shields and her assistant get a 5,she came in and explained everything and it was painless,my dentist referred me to her and said she was the best,I thought sure she is,she really is,hate saying this but I'm looking forward to my next root canal,lol, also when I was paying they said it would be 240.00,I said my quote was for 420.00,they said they didn't have to do a part of it,very honest,and the man at the reception was great too,also I loved their couch"
"10/10 recommend. They explained everything before doing it. Very personal. Very polite and not let's rush you out to get the next person in."
"Dr. Seitzinger was sooo good with my extremely nervous 12 year old. He talked to her on her level and did everything he could to ease her. He monitored her pain and gave her time when she needed it. Patience is just what we needed and he gave her that! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Dr. Seitzinger, Courtney and the entire staff were fantastic!!! Thank you!"
"Dr. Shields is a master at her craft. Painless throughout the entire procedure and no pain afterwards either. Great staff too!"
"Excellent service, quick response to any issues and great chair side manner... It's hard to brag about how cool a root canal can be, but it was painless. Won't go anywhere else."
"I get extreme anxiety when having dental procedures. I have often said I would rather give birth! I had the most painless, easy, root canal ever!! Thanks to Justin, Amy, Tammy, and Dr. Shields!! Everything was perfect !"
"I have had a toothache since May 2022. I have been seen by two different dentists; I had a 3 tooth bridge taken out; I had 2 teeth pulled and the pain continued. The only doctor who found what was causing the pain was Dr. Seitzinger."
"Went in nervous, anxious and fearful from past dental experiences. Cannot express how professional, precise and comforting Dr. Seitzinger and his staff was. From the paperwork to the procedure, everything was clearly and gently explained. All my questions were answered. No unnecessary antibiotics; no crown necessary! Tooth saved. There was so little discomfort I was somewhat embarrassed at my initial fear. I've had cavities drilled that were more uncomfortable. Would recommend to friends and family in a heartbeat."
"My visit was with Dr Shields. I needed a root canal done. I have never felt so comfortable in a dental office. (I am a horrible patient) but both Dr. Shields and Jessica made me feel comfortable (Jessica distracted me when getting a shot) and Dr. Shields explained everything that was happening so throughly that it relieved the stress that I had. My next visit is May 31st and I am not stressed out about it. Thank you Dr. Shields and Jessica for your professionalism, patience, and the time you took to make me feel comfortable in your care. I wish I could give you more “STARS “!!"
"I came to Dr Seitzinger for a root canal and it couldn't have been an easier, less stressful experience. I have high anxiety with all dental procedures and he and his staff did great at explaining the process and putting me at east. Most importantly (for me) the local anesthetic shots were remarkably almost painless. I've never had a better, nearly pain free experience in the dental field. I would recommend to anyone."
"I had a root canal done with Dr. Seitzinger. He and his staff were welcoming, friendly, caring, skilled, quick and efficient! He also was very informative regarding the status of the tooth. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!"
"I honestly can’t even find the words to explain how amazing my experience was with Dr. Sheilds. I never in my life would have expected to say this about a root canal lol. I have major dental anxiety and was having panic attacks days before my appointment. The staff there are amazing at easing your mind. They are all extremely caring. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else!"
"Visited Dr Shields for the first time this morning to have a root canal. Not only was it totally painless, I was in and out quickly, and the entire staff was so nice. Definitely will go back for any further work!"
"Very nice doctor and staff. They were thorough and caring."
"I came to Dr. Seitzinger to have a 2nd opinion about a tooth that a oral surgeon had recommended I have removed. Dr Seitzinger was wonderful. He spend time looking for anyway he could save the tooth. He was very professional and also really down to earth. I drove an hour to see him and will do it again anytime I need his services! This was the best dental experience I’ve ever had."
"Good experience - I was very impressed with my visit to Dr. Shields. I was referred there by my regular dentist. Dr. Shields took the time to explain what was going on with my tooth as well as the treatment. I had to have a root canal and while never fun, I can say I experienced no discomfort. I was very happy with my treatment and with Dr. Shields. "
"She was much faster than I anticipated. Her staff were all very courteous, one kept me company (i think because she knew I was nervous) and distracted me during the procedure so I wouldn't focus on any (minor) pain from the initial injections of pain killer. She was very knowledgeable, very professional, very swift but still put her attention on me even though (i'm sure) she had a dozen patients right then. Let me put it this way, I would prefer her ROOT CANAL to just about ANY treatment I would receive from my "regular" dentist (and I *love* my dentist). THAT is how good she is."
"Dr. Daniela Shields is an amazing provider and person. She has gone above and beyond to help alleviate my (severe) pain and anxiety, while showing care, concern, dignity and respect. I highly recommend all staff at this practice!"
"Was so nervous for my root canal but it went perfectly!"
"To say I was all nerves is putting it lightly. Don't like dentists so definitely "Root Canal" was far from my bucket list! Dr. Shields was amazing. The staff was very supportive as well. I'm now at an oral surgeon and I'm sure more at ease than before. Seems to be the year of dental woes. Wish me luck."
"First root canal, and I was so nervous. This doctor made me feel no pain whatsoever, made me feel very comfortable and answered all my questions. I was in happy tears when it was done, my pain was entirely gone. I’m incredibly satisfied, and I will recommend to anyone."
"First root canal, needless to say I was EXTREMELY nervous! I also have breathing issues with COPD/Asthma and that brings on a whole array of extra anxiety...with positioning, etc. during dental procedures. Dr. Seitzinger and his assistant went above and beyond to make me comfortable and put me at ease about my breathing/positioning. Okay, and now for my fear of shots! They put a little gauze under my lip prior to first injection with MAGIC (apparently) numbing solution. Deep breath...(dental assistant patting my shoulder)...done, what?! Thank you, Jesus! Best dental shots ever! Didn't feel them folks! Amazing! During the procedure I stayed pain free, nothing freaked me out...and half way through I decided to loosen the death grip off the chair arms and relax a bit. He explained everything, showed me x-rays of the finished procedure and new "roots", beautiful, sigh....done, DONE! Wish I would have saved my anxiety. They were amazing! Very little pain afterwards! 15 stars! "
"I never thought I would have been disappointed to have left a dentist’s office without having to have a root canal — on the day before Thanksgiving, no less — but there’s a first time for everything. When Dr. Shields walked into the room, I could tell almost immediately that she was kind, friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, straightforward, and honest. The kind of person that will tell you, even if you drove an hour to come see her, that she doesn’t think you need to have any work done right now if you really don’t. I would drive to see her just to get filling if she did that; however, she is not a general dentist so I’ll have to go somewhere else. She gave me a referral for a new dentist which seemed pretty impressive given that I live so far away — she seems to have a good relationship with several dentists in my area — and, at any rate, I can’t wait to go back and see her when it *is* time for that root canal!"
"Very helpful!"
"I have ridiculous dental anxiety and they managed to put me at ease (as much as was possible anyway). Everyone was very professional and it was a pleasant as a root canal experience could be. If I have to have another one (fingers crossed for no), I would make the drive again instead of staying local."
"Dr Shields was amazing! Very grateful to have been referred by Broadway Dental. She was very informative on the process and gentle. All of which are so important in dentistry. I completely suggest her! Staff was very friendly as well. -Brooke Brown"
"The absolute best dental experience we’ve ever had. Fastest & easiest root canal ever. Dr. Shields was excellent with my daughter. The entire staff was very friendly and professional. Regan is always very polite and helpful when I call...no matter how many times I call. I highly recommend!!!"
"The doctor did a fantastic job removing my old root canal and doing a new one. It was a difficult challenging operation and Seitzinger did it well."
"Easily the best dental experience I’ve ever had...Went in for a root canal and it was amazing how easy that procedure went.... very informative as he keeps you informed on what he’s doing and why...."
"Absolutely tremendous doctor and staff. I had a root canal performed here, first one ever, nervous is an understatement but Doc made me comfortable, was done in no time and the experience was above expectations. I’m thankful for his knowledge and work. Thank you!"
"Very professional. I am always very tense at the dentist but the staff here was very friendly and they made my visit very nice. I wish he was a dentist too, then I’d drive an hour and a half to see him. They are that good!"
"Dr. Shields was excellent. She explained everything before hand, helped put me at ease, and explained things as the procedure went on. She is very entertaining and the staff was very helpful."
"My visit was on March 12, 2018 and I was sent there by my dentist to get a root canal done. When I arrived, a little bit nervous, the staff was very kind and helpful. I went to see Dr Shields, as well as her assistant, and she was was informative was what the procedure will be. She explained everything that she was doing while doing this process. I want to say that whoever needs a root canal done, Do not be concerned about that it will hurt because it sure doesn't. I would highly recommend this place and doctor to anyone."
"I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Seitzinger and his team! I just left his office after having a root canal performed on my front tooth. They used the new Gentle Wave procedure and it was amazing! I opted not to receive a shot for numbing, although he will numb you if you want. With the gentle wave procedure there is no drilling! I felt very mild discomfort during part of the procedure but I would gladly take that over shots and drilling! The staff is so kind and professional. Hopefully I don’t need to see them again, but if so I won’t go anywhere else!"
"I was referred to Dr. Shields office by Bohle Family Dentistry (Dr. Williams is awesome as well). Dr. Shields put me at ease immediately with a warm smile and handshake as she introduced herself. She explained everything she was about to do in a concise manner in terms I was able to understand. She was efficient and constantly making sure I was comfortable. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her if you require the services of an endodontist! "
"Wonderful DMD and person. Very kind and professional."
"The only one who could get my mom's root canal fixed!"
