He is in my opinion a very good Dentist but my problem is I was charged for a core buildup for 2 teeth. . . but the nurse or one of his assistant said it was just a regular filling she told me over the phone and he charged me $250. 00 per tooth. . . thats ended up being over $500. 00 so beware of the core buildup plus he told me I signed the papers before he did the work . and thats not true. . . i was not notified until i got my bill. . . I have never heard of being charged over$ 500. 00 for two filling. . and now they want respond to me. .

. I would think he would want to work with me. . . I asked him to show me how much I paid out of pocket and what my insurance paid. . . so this is a warning ⚠️. . make sure you know up front what the amount will be and in writing. . . I need help . . . how do I recoup my money. . . Shelby Clark

I had a root canal today. I was so nervous because my tooth was causing so much pain, I couldn't stand the thought of more pain added to it. Dr.

Ankrum was AWESOME! He knew how nervous I was, and kept reassuring me he was going to make that tooth feel better! He made me feel at ease the whole time he was numbing, he was so good with that! He explained everything during the process, and I felt no pain at all! I also appreciate his assistant. I don't remember her name because I was so nervous when she told me! I won't hesitate to go back to him, should I ever need another root canal or any other endodontic procedure. He's great!
