Chamorro Luis A DMD Mph PA

Oh, dental work. Good times.
I was referred to Dr. Chamorro by my dentist for a possible root canal. I came in for an initial consultation which verified that I did indeed need a root canal. Based on my insurance, I paid $ 94 for this initial consultation. Speaking with Jenny at the front desk on the way out, she explained the overall cost and what I would be expected to pay (she was great!). Again, based on my insurance carrier, I was to pay half of the overall charges on the day of my first procedure and then they would settle up once insurance had paid them.
My root canal procedure was to cover 2 appointments. They do offer nitrous oxide for an additional cost, or will call-​in a nerve calming pill for you to take 1 hour before your appointment. I am a big baby, so I requested to be drugged. If you choose drugging, you will need to come in an hour early and have someone there to drive you home (thanks, Mom!).
I was drugged, numbed and drilled (much like most of my dates in my early 20’s). Some movies are available to be played on the TV in front of you, along with some headphones, so you can plug in and concentrate on the movie (Austin Powers was my choice). You still can’t escape the drilling noise in your head, but it was a nice distraction.
Dr. Chamorro was very informative. Patient. Kind. Agnes was the assistant with me on all of my visits and she is fantastic. They both are concerned for your comfort and well-​being and I was as relaxed as one can be while having their tooth hollowed out. Note that for root canals, they do not do the crown work, only the root canal procedure.
The offices are clean and well appointed. Conveniently located (to me) at the corner of 51 and Carmel in a relatively new building. The claim was quickly filed with my insurance company, insurance paid and I received a check from them for the settled amount extremely quickly (within a week of my final appointment with them)
For something as expensive and nerve-​racking as dental work, they certainly made it as easy as possible. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chamorro and his staff.
