I am surprised to see the post referring to Dr. Jerkins in a negative manner. Also, I am surprised to see he has a staff of 10? I have never seen more than two people plus one or two hygienists.
I was in the other day for an issue of an aching tooth. After taking an xray of the area, he wasn't sure if it was a bacterial issue from an old filling or an old root canal with problems. He gave me a round of antibiotics, charged me $42 for the visit and xray, and said if it didn't work, I would need to see an endodonist for which he gave me a recommendation. I thought that was a conservative and reasonable approach and fee.
