I had such excruciating pain and needed a root canal. My dentist referred me to him, due to his tight schedule, and although Dr. Goebel, was scheduled to go home that afternoon, with closing early, he squeezed me in due to it being an emergency. I never had been to him, and it was so nice he could do this for me with squeezing me on short notice, as he did! His staff, to include receptionist, and assistant made me feel at ease as well. They are all highly professional, and the only thing I felt is a little pinch from the meds to numb me which is what I alwasy feel when getting it numb, and it was nothing compared to the pain of having prior to the root canal. He numbed me so well, I felt no pain at all. And now, no pain! I also wanted to mention that he worked on my tooth and did half it due to how long it takes to do a root canal and his schedule, which is fine, because still no pain!
And the other half is in about a week. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!! YOU WON'T BE DISSATISFIED!

I had a root canal procedure done at Dr. Goebel's office. Overall the offices and facilities are very up-to-date and they offer very state-of-the-art services. The procedure was done fairly quickly and without too much discomfort. However, the issues I had with the office were the fact that they did not discuss any of my health insurance coverages or what their office charged at all prior to starting any of the work, something that every other dentist or medical professional I've been to has always done. Nobody likes to be blind-sided after getting dental work done by finding out that the dentists charges significantly more than what their dental insurance will cover. I would have been much happier to know this information up-front. Another issue I had with this office was that after receiving my root canal treatment, I received no follow-up care instructions for after the procedure to take care of the root canal and temporary filling until the permanent reconstruction was done by my normal dentist. I even specifically asked if there was anything else I should do to take care of the tooth, and Dr. Goebel waved me out of his office and told me "I was all set", or in other words "I wasn't his problem anymore". As a result, the temporary filling fell out and I ended up with a fracture on the surface of my tooth; luckily my normal dentist was able to save it without having to do a complete extraction but if it had gone unnoticed any longer it could have been a serious issue. These two issues I experienced were serious problems and despite the rest of the professionalism of the office, I would not have another procedure done here.
