Default Anybody used Dr. Burbank the dentist on 441?

I have an appointment with Dr. Burbank at the Palm (?) Plaza Professional building on 441 near the golf cart bridge tomorrow morning.

A tooth that I had filled just two weeks ago in Ohio is hurting. Dr. Foster was recommended to me but he will not take you right away, the first appointment was in December. His receptionist gave me Dr. Burbanks number as one who could see an emergency.

Has anyone used Dr. Burbank?

Waaah. I want my dentist I have had for thirty years.

Gracie....

I have not seen Dr Burbank but when I was looking for a dentist a friend did recommend him. She said he's good, only fixes what needs to be fixed, and reasonable. Based on this 2nd hand recommendation, I think you'll be OK.

Both my bride and I have used Dr. Burbank for several years and we have both been extremely pleased with everything about his practice.

Default Dr. Burbank is very professional...and handsome too.

I have just returned from seeing Dr. Burbank and it was most pleasant, except my tooth was aching like BillyBeDanged. Dr. Burbank and his staff are very professional and the facility is just beautiful. From the chair you have a view of a waterfall on a lake with real waterbirds. He took an Xray and gave me prescriptions for pain relief and antibiotics for which I was charged only $27. and referred me to an oral surgeon because the tooth is abscessed and I need a root canal. He does root canals but not on major molars.

Very pleasant and very glad to meet him and his staff. Our family will go back for sure.

Default OH. My head feels so great!!!

Dr.Donald Burbank referred me to the oral surgeon Dr. Alex Ghazal and he performed a root canal this morning. My head no longer hurts and I am a huge fan of Dr. Ghazal and staff at Laurel Manor professional building. He used all of the latest techniques including drilling through my gold crown and not having to replace the crown, no temporary crown, it was all done at one appointment AND it didn't hurt at all. He was very professional, very nice and his assistant is an excellent hand holder. WHAT A RELIEF. NOW I can start enjoying my stay in Paradise. Everyone please stop by and see me or I am going to drop by on you unannounced.

Default Dr. Alex Ghazal.

P.S. He called me last night to see how I was doing!! Dr. Alex Ghazal. Remember him if you need an endodontist, oral surgeon.

GG,

Thank you for sharing your info and experience--especially for the endodontist...it's a comfort to know that if a root canal is needed, the pain can be taken care of right here in TV!

The root canal was close to $1200 about the same as in Cincinnati.
