"Highly recommended going to Dr. Freer! I had a deep cavity worked on by a general dentist a couple months ago which led to cold sensitivity and pain. At the beginning of my appointment Dr Freer did some tests to first determine whether I need a root canal. I definitely needed one! I’ve never seen technology like this at any other dental studio. They have large tv monitors and small cameras where you can see your tooth up close while they work. The root canal took longer then expected which he later showed me was because I had long curvy roots with some calcification. I could tell he was taking his time to make sure everything was done correctly. He did not rush to finish up and get to the next patient. He seems like he really cares about the quality of his work not the quantity. I’m two days after my appointment and already feel my tooth is back to normal. Thank you!"

"Dr. Michael Adams performed a root canal on me; excellent work, minimal discomfort, a great doctor with a very gentle touch. Always grateful."
April 18, 2026
"I had the most excruciating pain and my dentist sent me here to get my tooth checked out. I was pretty skeptical because I have never had a root canal. When I called they saw me next day and I asked for an earlier appt and the receptionist called me immediately to get me in. The assistants were very friendly and professional. They ended up doing the root canal the same day as they discovered it. Pain was gone immediately after. Dr was very quick and it was painless. He was kind, compassionate and made me feel like it was going to be ok. And it was. Since being treated, I have been on no pain meds. And have zero pain. Thank you, definitely recommend."

"I had excellent care for my root canal in this office. The front office staff were friendly and welcoming. Even though our start was rocky due to a cancelled appointment, it was all cleared up and ended well. Dr. Adams did a great job in making me feel at ease and in keeping me informed during my root canal session. Apple, his assistant, was also so accommodating and helpful throughout my appointment. I definitely recommend this office for any endodontic work. If I ever need more work, I would be happy to return."
