I have had a root canal before, but never felt so comfortable than here. Best experience for a painful procedure. Dr. was amazing!!

I was really nervous about my root canal but the dentist and his hygienist were so nice and pleasant and talked me through everything they were doing..

- Susan S

The Doctor was very good! Even for a Marine working on a Retired Army Soldier! He stated there would be little to no pain and that is what it was- Little to No pain! Wonderful Job! Thank you very much! A BIG Thank you to all the Doctors there that had Military Service!

I was prepared to return to our winter home in FL when I had a troublesome tooth. I went to our local dentist in Monticello, he determined I needed a root canal and referred me to Great River. This was my first experience with a root canal, and I am soooo very DDS phobic! I was overwhelmed by the amazing care and compassion and reassurance by Dr. Saylor and staff. Although my heart was beating out of my chest, I had no need for fear or pain. Should I ever have a need for another root canal, I will fly up to MN (even in the depth of winter) to have Dr. Saylor treat me. Saving the tooth was questionable, but I decided to proceed. I recently had my 6-mo DDS check with my family dentist, plus x-rays. All looks great with the root canal! Thank you Dr. Saylor and your assistant for allowing me to keep my tooth!

My experience was excellent. All staff encounters were pleasant and professional, but I especially liked my doctor. He explained all steps of the process, was very gentle and the procedure was relatively painless (until the Novocain left). I wish I could see him for all dental procedures.

The staff saw that I was shivering and gave me a blanket which was great, with already being a bit nervous the blanket was warm and made me much more comfortable. I would have never thought a root canal would have been this easy. I would definitely recommend them.

I’m grateful they were able to do my procedure within a week of my call, so I’m no longer in pain.

I just wrote a review on Google Reviews. And I am compelled to leave one here as well. Dr. Papworth and "Katelyn" were amazing! I am just now home from my procedure. My amazing dentist in Baxter, MN referred me to Great River Endodontics for my root canal, because it was an intricate location beyond the crown on the tooth. I must say that walking dogs, hanging out with family & friends might be your choice for how to spend a day rather than this procedure. But if you HAD to have this procedure, let me share that this IS the place! I was treated with kindness from the moment I walked in, by the professional staff at the desk. And Dr. Papworth and Katelyn were kind, fun, funny (!), competent, and compassionate. They invited any and all questions that I had, clearly explained the procedure, made sure that I was comfortable throughout, and completed this delicate and intricate procedure with a level of confidence and professionalism that is top-shelf. I honestly had fun(!) I know, I know...it sounds like I'm lying. But for a root canal that is pain free, with such capable and wonderful people ~ I drove back home with a profound sense of gratitude and joy. I highly recommend this firm! And I'm certain that all of the staff are equally amazing. But I will be requesting these two if I need this procedure in the future!
