  I have known Doctor Feintuch for over 10 years. At the time I needed several root canals and I had let one go until one was extremely painful, so bad that I needed a friend to drive me to the endodontist. Since I needed an immediate appointment they gave me the new guy, and that happened to be Dr. Feintuch. Meeting him turns out to have been a great bit of luck on my part. In addition to the tooth emergency, I have a problem with local anesthesia not working for as long as it is supposed to. Most dentists can't keep me numb long enough to do anything more complicated than a filling. Dr. Feintuch was the first to solve that problem for me. He was also very gentle, and made me comfortable about the whole experience. His mantra was "I don't want to hurt you" and he meant it. By the end of that first day he had corrected the cause of the pain and started the root canal. Within a day I was feeling much better. Since that time he has had to do several more root canals for me. Each time his is careful, caring, and competent. He is also a genuinely nice guy and is always pleasant and easy to be around. After a gap of almost 10 years, a few weeks ago I needed another root canal. I called his old office and they told me Dr Feintuch had moved to Paramus and was in private practice. That's a 45 minutes drive for me, which is complicated by the fact that I am disabled. Such is my appreciation for this doctor that I decided to make the drive rather than use the local endo group where he had previously worked. The office is in a modern building on Kalisa Way in Paramus, located a few hundred feet off Route 17. There is ample free parking. The office is clean and relatively new. The office staff and dental assistants are competent and very pleasant. My experience has been that Dr. Feintuch values his patient's time, not just his own - he runs right on time unless there is an emergency. Right about now you are probably saying "my dentist says he can do the root canal. Why use an endodontist?". Well, sure he can. And the mechanic on the corner can rebuild the transaxle on your shiny new hybrid SUV. But it probably isn't going to turn out all that great. Endodontists are specialists. They have the training, experience, and equipment to handle even the strangest stuff they might find under that crown. For instance, Dr. Feintuch has a large and undoubtedly expensive microscope that allows him a 30x view of the base of the tooth, as opposed to my dentist who makes do with a pair of 3x glasses. I think the training and equipment makes for more comprehensive care and fewer complications. In my personal experence I had a root canal started by a general dentist and it had to be revised by Dr Feintuch after it got infected and the pain exploded in my jaw. It turned out the roots were strangely shaped and the dentist was not able to get them properly cleaned out. The cost was the same regardless of whether it was Dr. Feintuch or a local dentist doing the work. If you are in need of endodontic care, I do not think you will find anyone better than Dr. Feintuch. Good luck with that tooth!
