"Wonderful! I had abscess above where a tooth had already had a root canal and crown. Went in and took care of it same day!"
"Friendly staff. Got me in same-day. Dr Carroll was thorough, kind, and explained everything.I will have my root canal done 3 weeks before I could even get in to see the other Endodontist (and who knows how long I'd have to wait then!).Thank you!"
"Dr. Lee Van Carroll and his staff were so friendly and helped me out so much. I was a bit nervous before hand as I was gonna have a crown drilled out and then a root canal procedure done. We weren't sure if there was a crack or not that was causing my abscess. He and I were so excited, no cracks and he got to do the root canal and saved my tooth! So, thankful. I would highly recommend using Dr. Carroll and his office for your professional dental care needs. Thanks tremendously! 🥰"
"They got me in quickly, and I am very grateful for that. I had to have a root canal performed and it was painless. Dr. Carroll and his entire staff were wonderful. I will definitely recommend these folks."
"Dr Carrol will be my number 1 go to for a root canal. Great bedside manners and staff was very kind and friendly."
"Never thought I’d leave a review for a root canal but these guys deserve it! I was anticipating so much worse but honestly didn’t feel a thing. Everyone was so kind and compassionate, recognizing the nervousness of being there but putting me at ease. If I ever have to get another root canal I would not want to go anywhere else!"
"The dentist is never a favorite I look forward to going to, esp for a root canal, but given the circumstances, they made the experience as pleasant as possible. I particularly appreciated that he didn't make me keep one of those insanely uncomfortable ginormous bite blocks in my mouth that are so large they gag you. They did use a tool to prop my mouth open but it was small and didn't gag me like the others. I'd def use them if another root canal is in my future."
"Dr. Carroll did an excellent job on my root canal. I was apprehensive as this was the first one I ever had. He was very thorough in explaining everything he was doing throughout the procedure. I would absolutely use him again."
"Dr. Carroll is great, he worked me in for a root canal, and so thankful."
"After being diagnosed with an absessed tooth, around a previous root canal, I was sent to see Dr. Carroll. His office staff and Dr. Carroll were very concerned about my pain level and comfort. He explained the procedure necessary for me and we set it up in 3 days time. He reassured me of pain relief during procedure and made me as comfortable as I could possibly be with facing the surgery. I had a little trouble after the procedure and they helped me immediately. Every one I have encountered in their office has been kind and helpful. I give my highest recommendation to Dothan Endodontics"
"I never thought I’d be leaving a 5-star review for a root canal, but here we are! From start to finish, Dr. Carroll and his staff were incredible. He explained the process clearly, answered my questions, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The actual treatment was quick and, best of all, completely painless—I kept waiting for the “scary part,” and it never came.If you’ve been dreading a root canal, stop worrying and call Dr. Carroll. He somehow manages to turn one of dentistry’s most feared procedures into something closer to a nap (minus the snoring). I walked out with my tooth fixed, my smile intact, and my faith in dentistry restored."
"I had a root canal yesterday with Dr. Carroll. He was great and fast as usual. However my pain prescription couldn’t be filled due to an incorrect DE number. Thanks Dr. Carroll and everyone involved."

"First visit, Dr. Carroll was awesome. He made me feel comfortable and at home. His staff was just as awesome. I had a tooth that we thought needed a root canal, Dr. Carroll found a cracked tooth with infection and explained to me what my options are. Great group!"
"Dr. Carroll tried to save my molar via root canal but my tooth was too severely cracked. He had to extract it unfortunately. He is and still will always be the best dentist 💕 I was completely terrified and he gave me enough injections to put a horse to sleep but I was too scared and it was too painful so he had to give me gas. He explained every step and comforted me throughout the entire process ❤️"
"I had Dr. Van Carroll for a root canal and he did a fantastic job. I’m one day post op and have barely any pain. He is definitely the right person for the job!!"
"Dr. Carroll hopefully fixed my root canal he did a couple years ago one of the roots of my tooth abscessed. So keeping my fingers crossed all heals up nicely. He explained the procedure into layman's terms and even drew a picture of it! I would highly recommend this clinic."
"Very kind staff and Dr. Carroll did a wonderful job for me. Root canal with virtually no pain. Thank you Dothan Endodontics!"
"Dr. Carroll is incredible! I had a root canal yesterday and couldn’t be more pleased with the way I was treated. Dr. Carroll was so patient and informative. He made sure I was comfortable the whole way through. Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Carroll and Ms. Mavis. ❤️"
"This was my first time seeing Dr Carroll and his staff. I was very impressed with how kind and courteous Dr Carroll was to me and to his staff. He was very engaging & made me feel at home in his office. The procedure was performed by Dr Carroll & my tooth is feeling better now. Dr Carroll was a true professional and I would recommend him to anyone needing a root canal performed."
"Friendly professional staff. Dr. Carroll performed the easiest root canal I have ever experienced and I have had several. Everyone is friendly and make you feel like a friend. Recommend highly!"
"I was referred to Dr Carroll for a root canal. He is an excellent dentist. He explained the procedure and was very caring. The office staff and assistants are great. I highly recommend this group for any dental work."
"Dr. Carroll performed my first root canal this week. I was expecting the worst. Wrong. Can you have a good experience with a root canal? I can say it was not bad at all. Zero pain with the three deadening shots. Zero pain during the procedure. He said I would have pain when the deadening medicine wore off. He was mistaken. Zero pain! Definitely recommend!"
"Awesome experience with Lee Van. Been bumped from multiple appointments from another oral surgeon around the corner. I desperately needed to have a 25-year-old root canal tooth extracted. Literally rotting in my head and couldn’t seem to get any traction with another local oral surgeon. One quick call to lee Van Carol and was immediately sitting in front of him, checking out the situation and he agreed it needed to come out ASAP. The next thing you know it was done and all over with. The best part was one pain pill after the removal because I was nervous. Woke up the next morning with zero pain. Lee Van will be my guy from now on."
"Dr. Carroll and his staff are professional, knowledgeable, caring, and sympathetic, to say the least. Getting a root canal or dental implants are not at the top of my desired activities but have been necessary for me after a long history of dental issues since childhood. Going to the dentist makes me anxious and truthfully terrifies me. Every time I’ve walked into Dr. Carroll’s office, I’ve been greeted with a smile and treated as if they were working on their own family. I’ve had tears wiped during procedures, a simple touch on the arm acknowledging my uneasiness, and a listening ear with answers regarding my treatment plan. I am sincerely grateful to be seen by Dr. Carroll and his staff."
"Dr Lee Carroll spent quite a bit of time with me trying to figure out which tooth was hurting. He’s done several root canal’s on my teeth through the years. He’s very knowledgeable at giving medication to deaden the nerves. He gives the medication time to deaden the nerves. The actual procedure doesn’t take long. It depends on the number of roots the tooth has, of course. If you have to have a root canal done, he’s a good one to do it. I like the staff, they’re very knowledgeable, with state of the art equipment. The waiting room is cold, so if you’re cold blooded wear a jacket. While you’re waiting for the doctor in an exam room, you can use the restroom. When you get old and long of tooth, both root canals and restrooms are necessary. I wish they could restore my youth, but they can help me weather old age."
"The staff at DEA were not only very professional but also friendly, accommodating and even sometimes funny. I really liked Dr. Carroll and how he explained what he would be doing then showing me what he had done on an X-ray. I've always dreaded having a root canal if I ever needed one but this was a breeze. Never any unbearable pain....yes the dental shots were a little painful but nothing like I was expecting. Thank you Dr. Carroll and staff. Teresa Starrak."
"I got my one and only root canal (so far) here last week. Of course, I was terrified, but, just wanted to get it over with. The Endodontist (Dr Carroll) was so friendly and professional. You can tell he is a “people” person. He talks to his patients like they’re old friends and before you know it, your procedure is over and you’re walking out the door! The whole staff there is super friendly and helpful. I recommend this office 100%"
"Great experience. From walking in the front door to Dr. Carroll doing an anterior root canal on my lower front tooth #26, it was evident that this office spends time on building a workplace where those who work there truly get along and enjoy working with each other. The same with Dr. Carroll and his interaction with me and the staff. And he was smooth. After a little bit of numbing gel, he said he was going to shake my cheek and he administered the deep shot and it was like a regular walk in the park. The whole procedure went the same. I am apprehensive about root canals, even cleanings, and ask any dental hygenist and they’ll tell you I have a small mouth. Thanks for putting me at ease."
"What an amazing dentist. Everything from start to finish. No pain, and everything explain in detail. Very caring about comfort.PRAISE THE LORD, I had a root canal this morning!What!!!!!! If you have ever had a root canal you must be asking yourself. Praise the Lord! Has he lost his mind? If you have never had a root canal then you are probably also asking yourself. Praise the Lord! Has he lost his mind?Well after months of having discomfort from one of my teeth I made an appointment and was able to see my endodontist, Doctor Lee Carroll, this morning (1/30/24). After evaluating my tooth he stated that instead of performing a root canal he might have to extract my tooth. So in addition to the extraction he would then have to implant a new molar/tooth in it’s place. He just could not be sure until after he was able to see how damaged the tooth was. So while sitting along in the chair while giving the initial numbing agent time to work the prayer that I asked in Jesus’ name was that Dr. Carroll would be able to complete the root canal.That prayer was answered in the very most positive way possible. Once Doctor Carroll was able to get to the “root of the problem” - yep, pun intended – he was able to complete the root canal therapy. So while my jaw is sore right now, and I will still have to have a permanent crown placed on the tooth in a few weeks I am doing quite well. So one more time Praise the Lord, I had a root canal this morning!"
"Just came here to get a root canal that couldn’t be completed at the dentist with dr carroll. He was very nice and good at what he did I didn’t feel anything and he got it done in about 15 minutes. Nice service. Thanks for being great and helping me with my tooth hopefully I won’t have to come back but if I do I know that the service and everyone is nice and good at what they do."
"I have been to Dr. Carroll twice for 2 separate root canals and he is Amazing! I did not feel any pain, he was very gentle, and I felt so much better after I left."
"Dr. Carroll was so nice, comforting and amazing! I was worried because of horror stories I’ve heard about root canals, but I seriously had no real pain. Also the front desk lady who assisted him, Mavis I believe, was also so friendly and patient and very helpful!"
"Referred by my dentist to address a bad tooth I’ve had for over a year. Entire root canal experience was A+ from office staff and his assistant to especially Dr. Carroll. Clearly, he is a very experienced and talented Endo with excellent “chairside-manner”. Thank you!!"
"I had a root canal done. I can honestly say that I had one of the best experiences I've ever had at a dentist office. I would highly recommend Dr Carroll!"
"I had a root canal done he was very gentle i hardly had any pain after the procedure he is awesome !!!"
"Dr. Carroll is as good an Endodontist as one can find. Very professional and caring to all. Dr. Carroll has performed a couple of root canals on me and was smooth as silk."
"Dr Lee V. Carroll seems like such a down to earth Guy and does great work. I have never had a root canal done where I didn't feel actual pain. Not with Dr Carroll, there was the normal discomfort from numbing shots(even that was done gently). After that there wasn't any actual pain and he let me know each time pressure was needed. Staff was also very polite and kind. (This it not a fake review, I am from out of state and I don't normally write reviews, however I have dental anxiety and I hate being in pain during procedures or Dentist with no empathy--- so I wanted to share my good experience here)"
"Very personable, got an appointment without waiting weeks and root canal was painless."

"Dr. Lee Van Carroll was amazing. I needed a root canal and had to have a molar extracted. His office went out of their way to work me into their schedule. Dr. Carroll was very patient and took the time needed to ensure the whole proceedure was painless. When I arrived at the office there was a lot of anxiety on my part anticipating what I believed would be a very painful day and expecting that pain to continue for a number of days following my visit. I am confident my very unexpected positive experience was due to the care and patience he had instead of rushing me in and out as quickly as possible to move on to the next patient.Dothan is fortunate to have such an exceptional professional."
