Ron Ganik, DDS

Dr. Ganik is a superb endodontist. I have had many root canals and apicoectomies and Dr. Ganik is by far the best endodontist I have ever had. His manner is calming and professional. He is skillful, patient and knowledgeable. He performs the most intense and delicate procedures without pain. Dr. Ganik follows up with you to make sure you are doing well. His staff is well-​trained and caring. There just isn’t enough I say except that if you need an endodontist, go to Dr. Ron Ganik.

I was referred to him by an endodontist for apicoectomy.
Overall I am very pleased with my experience. He spend some 30 minutes explaining everything in detail. I understand he must have treated thousands of patients and to be able to explain everything in such detail and with equal enthusiasm is really the height of professionalism. He answered all my questions explained the procedure and my options.
The only thing of concern is that he refused to perform the procedure without a 3D x-​ray that would cost $ 300+ out of pocket because insurance doesn’t cover it. I actually asked him how he used to do surgeries when 3D X rays didn’t exist and his response was «we did, and sometimes we succeeded and others we failed. 3D x-​ray helps us see clearly and increases chances of success». While I agree with his statement but it should still be my choice whether or not to get $ 300 x-​ray if I want the procedure done.

I don’t know how this dentist’s actual skills are because I felt so uncomfortable that I had to leave before my procedure even began. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor or dentist of any kind. Dr. Ganik treated me like a young child and was extremely condescending. Our encounter eventually escalated to the point where he got in my face, yelled at me, and made me actually scared to let this person any where near my mouth. Needless to say, I ran for the door.

Impeccably professional and immensely thorough, Dr. Ganik is a model dentist. He took the time to carefully examine my conditions, explain to me patiently the different options and consequences, and the final root canal was entirely painless. The appointments were prompt, email communications efficient, and follow-​up texts were warm. All and all I highly recommend Dr. Ganik.

When I found out I needed my first, and hopefully only, root canal recently, I searched through a list of orthodontists that took my insurance (Caringeton) with a lot of trepidation. I decided to go with Dr. Ganik based on previous Unilocal reviews, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice.
I think he has taken previous reviewers comments into consideration, as I was given an accurate estimate of the cost prior to my initial visit, and the office made it very clear to me that Dr. Ganik did not provide the build up as part of the root canal procedure/​fee. Expectations were set well.
During each of my three visits (initial consultation, root canal part 1 & part 2), Dr. Ganik thoroughly explained what was going on, frequently checked to make sure I was comfortable, and kept me from feeling any pain. :-) After each of the root canal visits, he followed up with a text or call the day after to see if I had any issues that were bothering me (I didn’t).
I will agree with the other reviewers that he’s on the expensive side (at least, based on the minimal research I did on «averages»), but if I need another root canal someday, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

When my regular dentist recommended Dr. Ganik to perform my root canal, I was anxious to get to his office and have the procedure done as I was in a lot of pain. Right before heading over, I called Dr. Ganik to confirm he accepted my insurance. When i got there however, it was an entirely different story. The entire time I was there I felt extremely uncomfortable and pressured to get the first portion of the root canal done before having a final cost breakdown. I decided to go elsewhere in the end and could not be happier and more relieved with that final decision.

I just got a root canal from Dr. Ganik and couldn’t be more pleased. He made every attempt to keep me comfortable during this otherwise unpleasant procedure and I virtually felt 0 pain. Post procedure when the novocaine wore off I felt 0 pain in my tooth with just a little bit of tenderness in the area where I received anastasia. I searched far and wide for an endodontist that takes my insurance (Guardian) and definitely do not regret coming to Dr Ganik to have my root canal done. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back to have other work done and appreciate the attentive care.
Side note: my root canal did not include a post and core build up, and considering the fact that my entire insurance allowance was wiped out for the entire year, I will have to shell A LOT OF money out of pocket to cover the additional procedures (I was unpleasantly suprised to hear that the core build up was not included and will have to factor that in the next time I come to get something done). I’m not saying that you should cheap out with your teeth, but just expect to pay a hefty price for a service well done. My primary dentist was less then pleased about how the root canal was done bc Dr. Ganik barely did any sort of build up.

Dr. Ganik has always been a wonderful dentist, endodontist, and compassionate doctor to his patients. I have always gone for dental care to him even if I had to travel overseas. I don’t like to feel oral pain after or during treatment, which being «painless» has always been a signature for him as well as a commitment. He will soon be opening his new office. Dr Ron Ganik is as meticulous with his office as he is with his patients. I wish him lots of luck and prosperity in his new office.
