Had to get a root canal and was a little nervous as my general dentist told me my tooth had 3 roots which I guess is abnormal for the tooth it was. Meridian Endodontics and Dr Patterson were perfect and explained everything very well. I hate sitting still but they made it as comfortable as possible and the dental assistant was a sweetheart and hilarious! I hope I never need another root canal but will definitely be going back here if I do!

Dr. Broady and the whole team were awesome! Dr. Broady walked me through the whole root canal procedure with diagrams before we started. I was nervous about being in pain after a recent experience with a bad dentist, so I really appreciated that he did a thorough check for any pain before and after numbing and made sure I was comfortable when we started. It was surprisingly quick too. I’m relieved I was able to keep the tooth and super pleased with the results!

Dr. Patterson was kind and patient. He was thorough with my situation, even knowing my dentist by name despite my dentist not referring me there. I was referred somewhere else that had a 2 week wait and was several hundred dollars more expensive. I would 100% recommend Meridian Endodontics and Dr Patterson. The whole staff was wonderful and welcoming. I called on Monday, had my consult Friday and the following Wednesday my procedure was done.

Dr. Broady and his staff took great care of my needs; I had a cracked tooth which was a bit risky to proceed with a root canal. We discussed my options of an extraction and future implant or continuing with the root canal. He was cautiously optimistic and it was my choice to save the tooth and continue with the procedure. It’s been over 2 weeks and I have been so pleased with the outcome so far. I’ve been completely symptom free. It’s always possible that in the years to come it could possibly be an extraction, but at this point I couldn’t be happier with the results. Yeah to Dr. Broady! I have complete confidence in his professionalism and expertise! Kiddos!

🏆 Beyond Excellent: Dr. Sam Patterson is a Master Endodontist! I recently had a root canal performed by Dr. Sam Patterson at Meridian Endodontics, and I can say without hesitation that his skill, dedication, and professionalism are truly world-class. The procedure I required was extremely difficult and complex, pushing well past the scope of a normal root canal. Many dentists might have referred me elsewhere or given up, but Dr. Patterson rose to the challenge with incredible patience and precision. He went way past the normal procedure time and effort to ensure the very best outcome for me. His commitment to saving my tooth—even when faced with major technical obstacles—was nothing short of heroic. We even joked that his dedication to this procedure deserved the dental equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize! Exceptional Skill: Dr. Patterson possesses an advanced level of expertise, handling a challenging case with remarkable calm and efficiency. Patient Care: The entire team at Meridian Endodontics made sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire lengthy process. Dedication to Outcome: Dr. Patterson's willingness to invest the time and meticulous effort needed truly sets him apart. If you are facing a difficult or complex dental procedure, or simply want the absolute best care for an endodontic issue, I emphatically recommend Dr. Sam Patterson. He is a truly exceptional doctor and a credit to his profession.
