Patient Review
The procedure wasn't painful at all! Maybe a small pinch, but it went really well.

Patient Review
Just had root canal. Checked with them yesterday about their rates and I was given a range of $200-$300 with insurance on an overall charge of $1,025-$1,125. Checked with my insurance company and they said at the upperrate, I would only have to pay $200. My charge was $305. Now, here's the rub. According to this website https://www.bracesinfo.com/dentalcosts/us/sc/columbia-sc/endodontics.html, the average fee in Columbia, SC is $639.54 with a 95th percentile price of $842.92. Given my insurance pays 80%, I would only owe approximately$169 worst case. Palmetto made an additional $280.08 overall overcharging me by almost twice. When I pointed out that I spoke to my insurance company, they were non-pulsed. They said that if the insurance company overpaid, I'd get my money back. Right! Their business practices are predatory. If I would not have had time constraints to deal with, I would have found another Endodontist just based on my conversation with them on the phone. I recommend you find another Endodontist.

Absolutely amazing! I was put at ease. Dr. Todd even took the time to consult with my dentist during the procedure.
