Rhome Barry DMD

I’m surprised at the negative reviews here. I was referred to Dr. Rhome by my dentist when it became clear I needed a root canal. I had never had one before and was scared — everyone seems to dread root canals and I didn’t know what to expect.
I cannot compliment this practice highly enough. I had contact with four people — the receptionist, two assistants and Dr. Rhome, and every single person was helpful, friendly and incredibly competent.
Check in was easy, the wait was short and the procedure was quick, less than an hour. I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure and, remarkably, absolutely no pain afterward. I didn’t need to take one pill for pain, which I think is amazing.
I found Dr. Rhome to be very friendly and, most importantly, excellent at his job. He and his staff patiently answered any questions I asked, they worked well together and the procedure went very well. Did I mention there was absolutely no pain, during or after a root canal?
I don’t know how some other people had such a different experience. I went in dreading having a root canal and, remarkably, went away feeling that it was one of the most pleasant dental experiences I’d ever had.
Highest recommendation.

Charged me for a test he didn’t complete and over $ 100 for an initial consultation that was not disclosed when booking the appointment. Doctor was ready to dive in and perform a procedure without discussing it with me. Double booked with some poor other person who had to wait while the doctor talked to me. Once I stopped him and asked him to explain what he was doing he seemed competent but I’m not going to do the service with him when he already mis-​billed me for the preliminary exam.

It was a few days before I was going back to college when I had a toothache and my dentist determined I needed a root canal. Dr. Rhome fit me into the schedule that same day and was so kind and gentle. I didnt feel a thing! I was scared that I wasn’t going to be able to go back to school the next day because I would still be in pain but I had no pain afterwards and had a great experience (regardless of the fact that it was a root canal!) extremely convenient location, only 1 block away from my dentist. I would recommend this endodontist to anyone!

best root canal ever! yeah i said that.
so first let me explain that i have had root canals before and am also very particular about my dentists and anybody whose going to be working on my mouth.
I reallllly enjoyed dr. barry and the dental hygienist a lot, during my root canal i was thinking about how good i thought they were thats pretty impressive when you think about the fact your getting a root canal and thats what’s on your mind.
they were clear and polite while discussing treatment, and it was over before i knew it, seriously I thought they might have been halfway done and they said i had 5 minutes left.
the dental hygienist was legit the best i’ve ever had and I wish she could be my regular hygienist she was really awesome i felt like my mom was right there helping with my root canal you just cant beat that. they both worked so in tune with each other and that easy flow is helpful while your having wok done on your mouth. It might have something to do with the fact that all they do is root canals but whatever the reason is, this place is the best

I was very impressed by him as the dreaded root canal went well and was pain free. Then, after follow-​up periodontal work (not his fault) he saw me for continuing pain — and charged me for the 60 second appointment because he decided it wasn’t his fault but was the fault of the periodontist. Too early to make that determination, it was arrogance and hubris that made him charge me the fee. I am not happy. Future work TBD.

So, this guy knows how to work relatively fast (so they say. the root canal took 2 visits and for this he gets the 1 star), but he’s rude, evil, disrespectful for his own clients, aggressive and extremely expensive ($ 1500 for a 1 hour work).
I got to his clinic with terrible pain. Instead of being a little sympathetic, he laughed at me and insulted me several times. I wouldn’t mind if the rest was fine, but after few hours, when I started feeling my mouth again, I realized he used the needle so brutally that all my gums were bleeding heavily for several days later!
In addition, I asked him to send me the X rays so that I could take them to a dentist for a crown. He sent them to a dentist that he «liked» and guess what? even after 4 calls to his office (that works like 3 hours a day) — I still don’t have these X rays.
I’ve heard of many good doctors, who are also nice and not as expensive. I recommend you to try them and save yourselves the humiliation and the empty bank account.

It really does not get any better than this. Everything about my experience here was exceptional. Everyone is just incredibly friendly, relaxed, and yet professional and efficient. It’s so rare to find that combination. Starting with my phone call, the receptionist put me at ease and was able to fit me in quickly. The dental assistant was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring. The procedure was quick and painless. Dr. Rhome was funny and easy-​going but also wonderful about explaining things. He went to great lengths to make sure I was numb and even that the injections were virtually painless.
But what really put me over the top and prompted me to write this review was that the office called me today to see how I was feeling –adding that I could call over the weekend too if I needed anything? Wow. I wish they did more than root canals. They are a class act. Highly recommend.

My dentist referred me for a same day emergency root canal to Dr. Rhome on a Friday morning. Given the circumstances they were able to see me the same day immediately after my previous dental appointment to confirm the need for the procedure. His staff immediately called my dentist to transfer the insurance information so that I had to fill out as little paperwork as possible and get the assessment. Once in Dr. Rhome’s office I was treated kindly and courteously. I was very thankful that I was able to get an appointment so quickly for this emergency procedure on a Friday morning. To say the least I had a pain free weekend thanks to Dr. Rhome and his staff. I highly recommend his services.

You would think that $ 1,500 in services for an hour’s time would warrant some level of customer service, think again:
I was referred to Dr. Rhome for work by my Dentist who does not perform endodontic services. While a capable endodontist (I assume, it was my first trip to one), I would avoid Dr. Rhome based on the bedside manner — yes it is THAT offensive. He would rush out as if he had somewhere better to be than his job, he would bark orders to me in what can only be described as an adversarial way, and his assistant refused to understand why it is that i was shrieking from her insertion of the digital x-​ray «film» into my mouth, tearing up the roof of my mouth. I sat through the procedure praying that all would be accomplished in the first session so that I would not have to visit this office again.
I don’t know how many endodontists there are in the center city area (Dr. Rhome’s office is quite conveniently located), but I would imagine, as its a specialty and requires tons of training, that there are others with equal or greater skill that would afford you a better experience.
