Robert S Morrison, DDS

Dr. Robert Morrison is an excellent endodontist and has provided the best possible dental care for our friends and family.

I’ve had more root canals than I care to admit to. :(I came to Morrison in almost a full panic attack. I ended up high-​5ing him because I didn’t even feel the Novocaine shot!!! On my 2^nd root canal I realized the nitrous was becoming overwhelming because I wasn’t anxious anymore. We turned the gas off and did the rest of the treatment without it.
This is sincerely the best endodontist I’ve seen. I’ve already referred people.
100% recommend this Dr!

I have been referred to Dr. Morrison a few times by my dentist, and each time he did an excellent job fixing my teeth. I would recommend him to anyone! His staff is womderful and very accommodating.

i recently saw Dr Morrision for a root canal
i presented with a challenging situation anatomically
i was in a lot of pain and he got m right in
He did a great job numbing me up– superior technique!
He took some extra time to make sure he did a good job– the mark of a true professional– too many other guys hurry through and screw it up
i have learned this the hard way
He did a great job and can recommend him with the highest confidence
i am in the medical biz and it is easy to recognize a truly talented professional that has devoted his life to helping people out
His assistants and front office people are great, too
Many thanks to Dr Morrison and his staff!

I almost had a tooth extracted because of Dr. Morrison!
I went to Dr. Morrison for a re-​treatment of a bungled root canal I had done by my regular dentist, Dr. Jose Lomboy. However, Dr. Morrison told me the tooth was cracked, he couldn’t do a retreatment and he couldn’t help me. He was so cold and direct, I didn’t feel comfortable talking to him any further. I was terribly upset at the thought of losing a tooth. For some reason, I didn’t believe his prognosis. My instincts were correct.
I went to an oral surgeon and another endodontist (one that I had chosen). Both told me the tooth was not cracked. Dr. Morrison was wrong. I had the retreatment done by a great endodontist and the tooth has been great ever since (2011). (If you need a great endodontist, see my other review)
The problem with the first root canal was that my regular dentist, Dr. Lomboy, missed an entire canal and overdrilled/​perforated another canal. I don’t know why Dr. Morrison couldn’t see that in the x-​rays. In fact, twice he told me what a great job Dr. Lomboy did as he looked at the x-​rays.
On top of all of that, Dr. Morrison tried to charge me $ 432.00 to tell me he couldn’t help me ($ 82.00 for the initial consultation and $ 350.00 for the second visit, where he numbed me up, «probed» between the tooth and gum line, then told me he couldn’t go any further as the tooth was cracked).

Dr Morrison and his office staff are exceptional. He is very thorough and ensures that the root canal procedure is completed right. I would highly recommend this endodotist and office.

I’m writing this to give thanks to Dr. Morrison and his staff for getting me in quickly for an urgent root canal. I had a toothache for 2 weeks. I was referred to his office on a late afternoon and was able to get scheduled for the root canal the next morning. I didn’t have any pain after the local anesthesia was given and didn’t even need any kind of pain medication afterwards. I was eating and drinking without any discomfort just a few hours later. Thanks Dr. Morrison!

I went to Dr. Morrison for an emergency root canal while visiting home in Cali (i live in nyc). Always a bit nervous with a new doctor but did not have a choice as I needed the root canal as was leaving the country a few days later. Let me preface my review by saying that I have had A LOT of work done on my teeth. About 5 root canals, countless fillings and bone graphing twice. So I have experienced many dentists and endodontists and maxiofacial surgeons in my day. That being said, I found my experience with Dr. Morrison to be top notch, excellent! He is professional, gentle, informative and thorough. He assures that you are comfortable though the process and always aware of what he is doing and what will be done. As for the reviewer that was annoyed that he took xrays during the procedure… trust me… better that he is thorough and ensures the tooth looks right on the inside to avoid later complications. His staff should also be highly credited. They are very friendly, patient and professional. I highly recommend!!!

Redo the root canal, the operation is good. The Doctor didn’t explain much about the operation and didn’t mention it will cost more than $ 1000. Anyway, my insurance doesn’t cover all of them, so ask for the cost ahead, and they charge you before they file the claim, which should cover most of the cost.

Like most people I am extremely anxious when I go to the dentist. Nobody likes smelling their teeth being drilled down or that giant rubber thing they strap across your face leaving your jaw locked in the most uncomfortable position. Add all that on to me having an extremely sensitive gag system. I’m probably the patient people hate to have.
So when I went to Dr. Morrison for a root canal I gave Brittany, the dental asst, a long list of things I wanted her to do to make me comfortable. I would have to say this was one of the easiest dental work sessions I’ve ever had. The dr and Brittany were very attentive to how I was doing, finished the root canal quickly and efficiently, minimal pain involved, and got the procedure done in 1 visit.
Their receptionist Elizabeth is very nice and got my paperwork and insurance stuff done quickly.
It was a great experience. To top it off I received a personal call from Dr. Morrison checking that all was well and that the tooth was doing okay. I hope that I never have to get a root canal again, but if I do I will definitely go to Dr. Morrison again.

I think Dr Morrison might be a great dentist, but I will never know. I can attest to their state of the art front desk systems, which are completely electronic.
Unfortunately I cannot review the dentistry itself due to a misunderstanding with a referral I had for a root canal /​re-​treatment. Due to some confusion on my part, I called my general dentist practitioners office to find out why I was there for a consult only, and not a consult, with same day treatment since I just had X-​Rays taken and was referred there for a specific treatment plan From there things quickly deteriorated, as if questioning what was about to transpire was sacrosanct. I told if I was uncomfortable… (which I was due to the aggressive nature of the Dr.) and said, Yes. I am uncomfortable, and then left.
Which is a shame, because I am sure he is a great dentist /​endodontist.

Only few reviews. We need to bring some change into that.
I’ve been referred by my dentist. J. Lomboy to Dr Morrison because almost all my root canals done abroad, needed to be redone.
I can’t stress how much I dislike people that are hanging around in my mouth, poking me and hurting me with stuff.
Dr. Morrison works quick, efficient, without pain, tells you every step along the way what he’s doing and in general just is a very friendly and nice person. His staff is awesome as well. I feel comfortable here, even smile and make jokes when I come in and leave his office. That’s unheard of.
They know how to take care of their patients and I found it very easy to bond with each and everyone of them.
And last but not least. I’m not fully done with my treatment but so far he managed to save 2 of the 3 teeth that others wanted to remove. That to me is amazing.
If you have any doubts or scared of treatment? Dr Morrison gets you numb and I’m almost certain you wont find anyone who gets the job done better than him.

I am terrified of the dentist so imagine my distress at the thought of having a root canal! I went to see Dr Morrison as the last Endodontist I consulted with had zero bedside manner. Im sure he was an excellent dentist but his brusque manner did nothing to re assure me and I did not want to be treated by him.
From the moment I met Dr Morrison my anxiety started to go away. He was very calm and took his time to explain everything to me in a way that was neither patronizing nor confusing. He was so gentle, it was amazing. It was a long and tedious process but I felt zero pain (hardly felt the injections even!) I just wish I could see him for all my dentistry!

My wife hates dentist with a passion and she actually liked Dr Morrison.

My 15 year old son had to have a procedure done by Dr. Morrison that was a temporary root canal since he is still too young to have one. It was our first time going there. I loved the office experience, the girls were fun and upbeat and played great music in the office on casual Thursday. Dr. Morrison spent quality time getting to know my son first and he even called us at home later that night to check on him which I thought was a great touch! My son has not had any problems with the procedure which is a success to me !

Starts with the secretary, friendly, all paper work done online. Procedure done in mid Aug. Dr Robert explained thoroughly what the game plans was. Answered and re answered any questions i had and was very patient in doing so (maybe because i self educated myself prior to going in). Procedure was thorough, painless, efficient. and a success. Yes, i shopped around other endodontists and even dropped $ 100 on another office that decided not to go back to, I also thoroughly read through the paper work that had to be signed in the office regarding the risks involved with the procedure such as cracked teething during the prep, Maybe people who gave those low ratings should of asked the doctor, «hey doc how do you think my tooth will hold up during this procedure, how do you feel about it the integrity/​strength??? yes i asked these questions, i was confident in his proffessional experience, trusted Dr. Morrison and my procedure went smoothly. This experience definetly was stressful but in the end self knowledge is KEY to confidently trust yourself and the doctor you choose to work on YOU!

I am writing on behalf of my daughter who recently had a root canal completed by Dr. Morrison. First of all, I am a Registered Dental Hygienist; however, retired for the last few years, and certainly know excellent dentistry when I see it. From the moment we entered the office, we were met with warm genuine greetings from Elizabeth at the front desk. She instantly had a gracious hand putting my daughter and myself at ease. After being escorted to the treatment room we were again met with a continued kindness and professionalism from the two assistants running the back office. The office is meticulously cared for as are the patients. From the moment Dr. Morrison introduced himself, I could feel my daughter’s anxiety lifting. He was careful to explain each procedure assuring no surprises, and had no problem with me taking up a small sitting space just outside the room. The phone call that evening checking in to make sure all was ok just reminded me of why our general DDS recommended us to this office in the first place. Being an Endodontist is not going to win many popularity contests… ROOT CANAL… UGH! this just sounds to most like a death sentence, but if you have to have one, this is bar none the only place I would ever send friends and family.

Everyone here is really nice. The staff is personable and upbeat. You can tell everyone gets along and you are never left waiting too long. Dr. Morrison does whats best for you and explaines everything completely. Obviously a dental office is somewhere you never want to be but i dont really mind coming here :)

Even my dentist who referred me had to admid that this endodontist has no bedside manners and rough on his patients, but they’d «worked together for awhile». Little did I know this translated to «I scratch your back, you scratch mine» kind of thing. Anyway, this endodontist is not friendly, does not take time to explain, his staff is stuck-​up (especially the tall receptionist) and not a bit helpful.
I went in for a root canal but I ended up paying $ 350 for an unsuccessful procedure because the molar cracked during his (rough) drilling. This guy showed no sympathy, zero feeling as he told me he couldn’t complete the job and that I had to have my molar pulled. Less than hour later when I got home, I called his secretary with questions, she told me he was busy. I asked to leave a message for him to call me and was told to talk to my dentist instead. When I told my dentist about my experience, how this endodontist shoved the plate in my mouth to catch the drilling so hard that made me gag, my dentist admitted, «Yup, he can be pretty rough.»

Dr. Morrison is the MASTER of root canals. While no one really enjoys getting drilled, Dr. Morrison makes the entire procdure painless… he’ll give you as much novacaine as you need until you feel comfortable.
After the procedure, he calls you every couple of days to ensure you are not feeling any discomfort. Awesome work and awesome customer service.
