"After visiting several offices and being quoted much higher prices elsewhere, I am so grateful I found Brookwood Endodontics.Dr. Stephen Thomas and his entire team were absolutely wonderful — professional, kind, calming, and incredibly attentive from beginning to end.I came in very nervous and in significant pain needing a root canal on tooth #19. They explained everything, made me feel comfortable, and the procedure was honestly far easier than I expected. I even chose nitrous oxide because I was anxious, and the team made the entire experience feel calm and stress-free.What shocked me most is that after the numbness wore off, I had almost no pain at all. I slept perfectly that night and did not even need pain medication.The office itself is beautiful, modern, spotless, and very comforting. Everyone treated me with genuine care, and they even called the next morning to check on how I was feeling.I truly cannot thank Dr. Thomas and his team enough. Highly recommend Brookwood Endodontics to anyone needing a root canal or endodontic care"
"Had the "urgent" need for an assessment for possible root canal. Called Brookwood Endodontics. I called around 0800 and they had an opening at 1230 with Dr Thomas. Waited approximately 10 minutes before xrays were done and then to a comfortable chair and awesome view. Dr. Thomas confirmed the need for root canal and his assistant, Maddie, got things set up . They both provided the pre-procedure info i needed and they went to work. Unfortunately I've had several root canals over the years and things always went well. However, this experience was more than OK, it was great. Never experienced the discomfort I had in previous procedures, almost completely pain free and the time was minimal. Dr Thomas repeatedly checked in to make sure I was comfortable and Maddie was at the side to support him and me! Overall, great experience and no doubt where I will go if need arises again. On a scale of 1 to 10, this was at a least a 15. Also....reception staff personable, professional, and very pleasant as well as efficient managing insurance claims. Great team!"
"Thank you Dr. Thomas, assistant Mackenzie, and the entire staff at Brookwood Endodontics for your personal and professional service while performing my root canal today. Dr. Thomas and his well trained team removed all of the anxiety from a root canal dental procedure. This was one of the best experiences I have had from a health care provider and I’m so thankful my dentist referred me to this practice, Brookwood Endodontics. If you have been anxiously putting off a dental procedure, please call the Brookwood Endodontics team today and schedule an appointment. You will be so glad you did as they will have you safely on the road to better health!"
"Dr Thomas know how to do a root canal. This is the 3rd one he has done for me and all have been virtually painless. His office is busy but well organized."
"Very professional practice. Dr Thomas explained everything in detail. He advised me to hold off with the root canal until we had a definitive location for the pain. I appreciate the conservative approach. Nice office. Good people."
"My root canal was successful! After the swelling disappeared there was no pain. I can go to work now! Thanks to Dr Thomas and his team. I got your follow-up phone call Taylor- I appreciate you guys checking on me."
"Dr. Thomas and his assistant Madison were amazing. My experience was surprisingly pleasant considering I was there for a root canal. They talked me through the procedure and ensured I was comfortable the entire time. I was given a card for a free smoothie which I got immediately after my appointment."
"Dr Thomas has done 2 root canals for me. He does an excellent job! All of the staff is wonderful and they do post op call to make sure your doing well after your appointment. Definitely recommend to anyone."
"Worked me in for a root canal and no pain during or after❤️I highly reccomend Dr. Thomas and his beautiful staff!"
"I was a “work-in” patient that had 2 teeth that needed root canals. They worked me in 3 hours after my dentist request. I had to wait a while due to being an add-on, but Dr Thomas and Kay Lynn did wonderful jobs on the root canals and keeping me informed."
"Dr. Thomas and his wonderful assistant did a root canal. It was painless and everyone was kind and professional. The entire staff have been trained well!"
"I had to have a root canal and never having one, I didn't know what to expect. I was dreading the procedure but Dr Thomas and his assistant, McKenzie, made me feel at ease. Other than the initial shots to numb the area, I felt no pain during the entire surgery. It is the day after the surgery and still no soreness or pain. If I ever have to have oral surgery again, I will definitely use these kind and consider people."
"Went in for a root canal as nervous as I could be. McKenzie and Dr Thomas were amazing. They made me feel at ease, and got it done in no time."
"I had to have a root canal according to my dentist. He scheduled an appointment with Dr. Thomas. The day I went in I was questioning whether I really needed a root canal because the horrible tooth pain I had originally was gone. Dr. Thomas suggested I wait a few days to make sure since he didn’t want to give me a root canal if I didn’t need one. The very next day I woke up with tooth pain again. I called his office and due to a cancellation, I was able to get in that day. I had a crown over that tooth that according to my dentist was a temporary. It was not. Dr. Thomas’ staff did everything they could to remove that crown without success. He finally had to drill through it. Once he did he told me there was a lot of infection under the crown. During the process, I was super stressed. I was not that easy to get numb and hated the sound of the drill. Dr. Thomas was able to get my mouth numb. I realized I didn’t have to be stressed and had to make myself relax several times. After it was all over I realized I had been super stressed over nothing. I would definitely recommend him to anyone."
"Very friendly, very professional. Dr Thomas and nurse Grace were great. They are both very good at what they do and Grace covered every possible thing I needed to know before and after a root canal. I was actually back to normal activities and doing yard work by the afternoon."
"I am very pleased with Brookwood Endonontist. The staff was very nice. I was a little nervous about the root canal, but Dr. Thomas and the technician made me feel very comfortable during the procedure."
"Absolutely loved my 1st experience. Dr. Thomas and Taylor talked me thru the whole process, easing my fears of my first root canal! Highly recommend Brookwood Endodontics"
"My treatment was done in the most professional manner. I felt that not just Dr. Thomas but the whole staff cared about my treatment and comfort. I am so glad that I had my endodontic treatment by Dr. Thomas."
"Everything was pleasant from start to finish. 1st, it is was the front desk personnel. They was very friendly, polite and warm. Next, it was the gospel music playing in the lobby, and they were some of my favorite songs at that, so I was jamming while filling out paperwork. Next, it was the friendly assistant that called me back and got me prepared for my visit. She was very sweet, supportive and gentle. (She even wiped my tears later as I silently cried from nervousness, as I waited for the anesthesia and gas to kick in 💜🥹) I hate I can't remember her name because she definitely deserves recognition. Once I got set up, it was the open window view over looking parts of the city and highway. Nice! Then it was sweet, sweet Dr Thomas. I absolutely loved him! I get terribly anxious at the dentist ( I know he's a specialist, but they both work in my mouth lol) and this was my first root canal. He made me feel so at ease! He was very informative and communicated everything with me. They both made sure I was comfortable at all times and that was a big plus in my books. The procedure went smoothly, my recovery has been amazing, and I couldn't be more thankful to have them all as part of my professional dental team. Thank you Dr Thomas and staff! 👏🏾👏🏾"
"Great experience at Brookwood Endodontics! Dr. Thomas did a wonderful job with my root canal. Everyone from the front office to the dental assistant was helpful and kind. They all made me feel comfortable. I appreciated the blanket and the follow up phone call to check on me the following day. Highly recommend."
"De.Thomas was so warm and comforting. I having experienced a doctor with bedside care like that in a long time. Nurse Grace was so sweet and she made sure I had everything I needed. She even offered her hand for me to squeeze if needed. Together, they embodied team work. I can’t forget to speak on the views from the chair. While getting my root canal, I was able to look out the floor to ceiling windows and see what look like our entire city. Lastly, they had My. Dew. Check, Check, check, Check! I wish I could see Dr. Thomas for all my dental work."
"Went in for a priority root canal. The staff was very professional and efficient. Dr Thomas and his staff conducted the procedure quickly and little to no pain.

From the receptionist, to the dental assistant, to Dr. Thomas was amazing. Dr. Thomas and Makenzie made sure I was well taken care of. Dr. Thomas talked me through the entire procedure. Not to mention the view from the chair was also amazing. They offered me a blanket to make me even more comfortable. If I ever need another root canal or any services as such I will not hesitate to schedule with them. Brookwood Endodontics you guys are awesome. My root canal went well without any problems."

"I had an abscess requiring a root canal. Dr. Thomas and his assistant, Grace, were the absolute best! I always dread any type of dental work and because they were so kind, professional, and thoughtful; a painful and dreaded process was made easy. They not only addressed my pain, they also were concerned about my comfort; providing a blanket, a soft drink, and were so attentive to my needs. The view was beautiful too!"
"Great experience for something I was scared to have done! Dr. Thomas performed my root canal and it was pain free! His assistant Madison was really nice and helped ease my fears as well. He explained everything and I was even offered a blanket and water. I'd recommend Brookwood Endodontics to anyone needing a root canal. I woke up the morning after pretty much pain free too! Thank you Dr. Thomas and staff for all of your help!"
"I was referred to Brookwood Endodontics for a root canal by my primary dentist; this was the day before Christmas Eve. They were kind enough to work me in. Grace was my assigned tech and Dr Thomas was the endodontist who performed my root canal. Both were amazing. I was warmly welcomed, once I was in the chair I was offered a blanket (it was cold in there but I’m always cold); I was offered a beverage and was continuously checked on while waiting. Dr. Thomas made sure I experienced no discomfort during the procedure and provided clear instructions for after care. Thank you Dr Thomas and Grace."

"This is one of the nicest practices I have ever experienced. The entire team ensures that you are comfortable during the visit. Dr Thomas is so kind and skillful.

Dr. Thomas came into the room and explained every step as he performed the procedure. He was fantastic! I felt no pain and a day later I am during well. I highly recommend Dr. Stephen Thomas.Van FreeMontgomery, Alabama"
"Great job by all the crew! The staff was personable and friendly. Dr. Thomas helped ease my anxiety and talked me through the procedure. Madison, my tech, was kind and encouraging.

"I was instructed by my regular dentist that I needed to be evaluated for a possible root canal approximately one week ago. . After contacting Brookwood Endodontics, I was offered an appointment that very day! Wow! Everyone at this office was very professional and personable. The entire process went so smoothly, and I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience! Dr. Stephen Thomas was SO kind and thorough in his explanations of the procedure! There was no pain at all while receiving the numbing injections, during the root canal, or afterwards. Madison and Grace who assisted Dr. Thomas were wonderful and made sure that my every need was met! I would definitely recommend Brookwood Endodontics for their specialty dental procedures! This office is so well managed, and I can definitely say that the dentists and staff here are SIMPLY THE BEST!"
"This is by far, the best consultation I have ever had with an endodontist! Dr. Thomas was forthwith and honest regarding the outcome I could expect. He did not steer me into making a decision that I would regret a year from now. This tooth will be leaving me. I wish I had made this appointment a year ago. If I am ever in need of a root canal, this is the office I'm going to, hands down!"
"Dr Thomas and his team did an awesome job with my root canal. I will definitely visit again if his services are needed. Grace is the Best!!!"
"Dr. Thomas and his assistants Madison, Grace and Taylor were amazing! I had no pain during or after my root canal! The procedure was explained thoroughly and the view was beautiful, which is always a plus!"

"At 73 Brookwood Endo performed my first root canal. Great job Dr Thomas and staff! Not fun, but not as bad as I thought.John Estis"
"This is Dawn Lunsford. I saw Dr. Thomas yesterday July 16 for a root canal. I was very nervous but everyone was so very professional and kind! The procedure was explained in detail, I viewed my xrays and the local anesthetic was very effective. I was pleasantly surprised that someone called this morning to check on me! The Smoothie was very medicinal. I am pleased to refer my friends and family to this practice.Thank you!"
"I was a last minute work-in appointment (which, in my mind, means it was an emergency!). The online portal for information input was easy to navigate.The wait time to see the doctor was reasonable (it was for 7:30am- I was in the back and scans/X-rays were completed by 8am)Dr. Stephen Thomas did the procedure, speaking to me throughout the entire process, making sure I was comfortable, informed, and aware of all things root canal.I was out before 9am, with a coupon for a free Smoothy King!"
"I saw Dr. Stephen Thomas for a root canal on July 9th and let me just say it was one of the best experiences possible, under the circumstances. I mean no one wants to go have a root canal done, but if you have to, this is the best place to go and the best Dr. to see. And his assistant Lauren was just as wonderful! They were kind and passionate and helped calm my nerves lol. I have major anxiety for some reason when it comes to the dentist but Lauren and Dr. Thomas were both calming and walked me through each and every single step of what was being done. I would highly recommend them to anyone!"

I would highly recommend."
"I highly recommend this office! I was in a ton of pain after a procedure and ended up needing a root canal, I didn’t have much time before I leave for a trip so my dentist office called and they had an appointment same morning to get me in. I was terrified going since I have extreme dental anxiety and this being a brand new office to me but the whole experience was so calming. The office has a calm environment and everyone is super friendly and kind. Dr Thomas and Lauren were great! I knew exactly what was going to happen and didn’t feel anxious at all, and the procedure was quick and painless.I Will definitely use them again if I need any work done in the future."
"Taylor and Dr. Thomas were both amazing! I was terrified and was even going to request gas but Taylor eased my nerves so I didn’t use it. The numbing is the only thing that took longer but I definitely appreciated the extra time spent to verify numbness. The root canal itself only took 20 mins. I am following the medication regimen he prescribed and only have mild soreness today (next day). Thanks again for being so sweet to me and fixing my tooth!"
"Dr Thomas I don’t have words to tell root canal procedure never had single pain killer medicine Thank you very much God bless you"

She was so kind and was more than open to answer any questions I had. Dr. Thomas was very kind and made sure I had a good understanding of what was going on! He took several x rays during the procedure to ensure everything was well taken care of. I can appreciate this team and if I need another procedure done, I will no doubt make the 1.5 hr drive. Definitely worth it!"
"I had a root canal done by DrThomas a week ago. He is a very kind and caring person. I was nervous in the beginning before he explained the procedure to me. Afterwards, I was comfortable. The procedure went well! Thank you Dr. Thomas and Grace, his assistant! I came out feeling better than I went in! The entire staff that I encountered were very friendly. I would highly recommend this dental office! To God be the glory!!!😊"
"Found out I needed a root canal on Thursday 3/6. Dentist tried another office and the earliest they could schedule was Thursday 3/20. Dr. Thomas squeezed me in on Monday 3/10! First time in this office, great experience!"
"Yesterday, I had a root canal done by Dr. John Thomas. He was very professional. He explained everything that I needed to know not only regarding the root canal, but also with a bridge that is over 25 years old. May was his dental assistant, and she also handled all of her assignments with knowledge and care. One additional thing. I accidentally came two hours early for my appointment. The desk staff went out of their way to try to fit me in so that I wouldn’t have to wait for the two hours. That’s called customer service. This is the third time that I’ve had an occasion to be treated at Brookwood Endodontics. My experiences during the first two visits were the same as this visit. Should I need endodontic work again, rest assured that I will return. Thanks for all the hard work guys."

"Great experience at Dr Thomas office. Professional and explained procedures and outcome. Call next day to check on me and to see if any questions or problems. I always heard root canal horrible experience but I had best experience!"
"The wait after the 3d X-ray was a bit long but everyone was very kind and Dr Thomas and his dental techs were patient and compassionate as I was completely petrified of having a root canal. I’m guessing my wait was a bit longer because the office was kind enough to fit me in due to significant pain. I did appreciate that. Thank you for a good experience….Mary Dinnen"
"Very nice office, staff is attentive and very friendly. Doctor Thomas did my root canal extremely informative fast at his work. Great People. Only down side is the price but well worth it in the end I had / have ZERO PAIN after the root canal. Thanks Dr. Thomas and your staff 10 of 10!!!"
"Brookwood Endodontics Is first class. My root canal by Dr. Thomas and the entire team was very professional. Highly recommended."
"I got a referral here for a root canal. I saw DR.Thomas he had patience and every question I asked he answered truthfully about the root canal. He's really a people person"
"My root canal was a much better experience than I expected. I was treated like I was in a spa with the offer of a pillow and blanket as well as what tv channel I would like to watch while waiting for Dr. Thomas. They called to check on me the next day and made sure I was ok. All in all a very pleasant experience and I would never expect to say that about a root canal procedure."
"I have been here twice and I have to say Dr Thomas is so gentle dealing with your teeth and gums he actually makes getting a root canal semi pleasant! From the numbing shots to the actual procedure nothing hurt at all! I have an irrational fear of the Dentist and that fear has caused me to put off visits in the past and now I'm trying to get everything fixed and brookwood endodontics is the perfect place for someone like me who is extremely afraid of dental work! It's a very professional office and Dr Thomas is an amazing Endodontist!"
"The staff is very friendly and professional. The office is well organized and clean. As I entered the office, everyone said hello. Within three minutes I was taking to the back to do scans. They also asked me did I wanted something to drink ( coke products or water) and a blanket. I had a root canal done and Dr. Thomas did an amazing job. This was my first visited and first root canal. Of course, I was nervous but they assure me everything was going to be fine. Surprisingly, no pain and a smooth process. Plus, I received a call the next day from the office, checking on me. Thanks again. They went well over my expectations."
"Dr Thomas is wonderful! He is kind and patient and always takes the best care of me! The staff is very professional and always attentive to my needs! Root canals are not my favorite thing but they make the experience much more pleasant! I would not see anyone else for this procedure! 5 stars!!"
"It was Wednesday afternoon of Thanksgiving week. I was worked in on emergency status. I booked with Dr. Thomas and his fabulous assistant. This team has done several root canals for me in the past. I knew I was in very good hands. As usual, I was offered a warm blanket and made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the procedure. The main thing is, it was a holiday week. They didn’t have to work me in but they went the extra mile for me since I’m a teacher and it’s so hard to get off work. It just proves that they not only provide an excellent, professional service but a kind and friendly atmosphere."
"Had to have a root canal done Dr Thomas preformed the procedure feeling fine today he did a very good job"

"I highly recommend Brookwood Endodontics. Dr. Thomas explained my x-rays and the root canal procedure fully and answered all of my questions. He and his staff were very professional and friendly. My procedure was the day before Thanksgiving, and I received a call on Thanksgiving to make sure I wasn’t having any issues—amazing customer service!"

Thank you Dr. Thomas and staff for taking such good care of my brother."
"My tooth was throbbing and shooting pain after having a crown done. Needed a root canal badly. Was in pain for 3 weeks. My dentist recommended me to go to Dr. Steven Thomas and have a root canal performed. They got me in the same evening my dentist called. Man oh man. Dr. Thomas is “the goat”. Root canal was painless and after the numbness wore off, I was myself again. Thank you so much Dr. Thomas"

"I had a wicked toothache over the weekend and called Brookwood Endontics first thing Monday morning. They got me in to see Dr Thomas the same day and he did a fantastic job on my root canal. Pretty much painless and relatively fast. I’ve had my share of root canals and you can tell his skill as an endontist is top notch. If I ever need to see an endontist again Dr Thomas is who I would choose."
"Dr. Thomas and his assistant, Olivia, were fantastic!! The entire team at Brookwood Endo was welcoming, professional, and eased my nerves.

I will continue to see them for any future treatments as well as recommending them to family and friends."
"Excellent experience!! Doctors and Staff are exceptional. Zero pain Root Canal in and out in less than an hour. Thank you Brookwood and Dr Thomas!!"
"The front desk staff worked me in because I was uncomfortable and I had to travel less than 48 hours after I thought I might need a root canal. Vanessa got me from the waiting room, prepped me for diagnostic work and treatment and never left me until she walked me to the front desk again. The practice has and uses the latest technology. Dr. Thomas uses that technology with impressive skill. If my root canal treatment is any indication, we are going to have discard all the old jokes about life’s worst experiences being like getting a root canal."
"My son had an emergency root canal, he has autism so it’s always hard to find someone patient with him. Dr Thomas and Taylor were amazing with him. They were so understanding when he was upset and hurting. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for making it a little easier for him."
"I've had several root canals over the past year (ugh) and each time, Dr. Thomas and his staff have been incredible. They take great pains to make sure that patients are comfortable, answer any questions, and explain exactly what they are doing and why. Dr. Thomas has even squeezed me in just to make sure that everything was recovering properly when I had concerns. They make an uncomfortable experience as painless as it possibly can be and truly care about their patients."
"Friendly and professional staff. DE. Thomas is the best. HE has done at least 4 root canals for me and I wouldn't even think of letting anyone else perform a root canal on me. He does everything he can to make the experience pain free."
"I have never had a root canal. Taylor and Dr. Thomas made it as pleasant as it could be! My favorite channel was on the TV, I had a comfy blanket, and my favorite soft drink was waiting for me at the end of my procedure.😃"
"From the moment I walked into their office I can tell they've given great thought to their patients. I say this because I am disabled and walk with a cane. The chairs were of different height. So, I was able to sit and get up with little difficulty. The receptionists were all very nice. Among the paperwork they give you a personal room card. This card asks if you want something to drink and offer different options, they asks if you need a headset for your phone, they give a selection of channels to watch on TV, they ask if you need a blanket, and another question. I don't remember them all. They actually cater to you. The assistants are very professional yet personable. They listen to you. My assistant, Vanessa, asks lots of questions to make sure she understood what what needed and made sure the doctor understood also. She was GREAT. My doctor, Dr. Stephen J. Thomas, was AWESOME!! Vanessa told him I am hard to numb and he made sure I was very numb. Usually, when I tell dentists I am hard to numb they have to give me extra numbing medications during the procedure. But, not so with Dr. Thomas. He listened to my complaint and explain to me what was happening and showed and explained the x-ray to me. He performed a root canal and the procedure itself did not take long at all. I couldn't believe it. WOW! Did I say he was AWESOME? At checkout the people were very funny. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone."
"I needed a root canal and was worked in immediately. Dr. Thomas and his Staff were very nice and made sure I was comfortable. I highly recommend!"
"I was referred to Brookwood Endodontics by Dr. Hirsowitz with Aspen Dental regarding an issue I was having with an old root canal.Dr. Stephen Thomas and Maddie were exceptional! Dr. Thomas explained my options and, I am now at ease with the care plan decision going forward! Oh, the staff who checked me in/out were simply amazing!!! Highly recommend!!!"
"Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the front desk staff. My check in process went extremely well and my wait time was very minimal. After being called back, my experience was definitely a much more pleasant one than I had anticipated as I was having a root canal procedure. Dr. Thomas and Stephanie did such a wonderful job of making sure I was comfortable and understood everything that was happening before, during, and after the procedure. As someone who has extreme anxiety pertaining to any type of doctor visit, I can honestly say I felt so at ease during my entire visit. I highly recommend them to anyone and will gladly return for any other procedures I may need in the future!😊"
"On Thursday 8/1/2024 I was there for a root canal. Dr Kaple who performed the procedure was very personable, cordial and made me feel relaxed. A few years ago I had the same procedure and Dr. Stephen Thomas was just the same. I would highly recommend them. They’re great!!! So was Natalie, Dr Kaple’s assistant. She was helpful and very patient with me😊❤️😍"
"Dr Thomas and the girls in the office could not have been more kind or better at their job. They fit me in with an emergency root canal on my recent trip to Birmingham. I had never seen Dr Thomas but was immediately put at ease. He took care of me during the procedure as well as sending me home with all of the appropriate meds to ensure quick and comfortable healing:)"
"Was able to get an appointment quickly for a root canal. The staff and Dr. Stephen Thomas were knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. They took care of my issue very quickly and effectively. Highly recommend Brookwood Endodontics!"
"The staff was courteous and professional. My dentist sent me for a root canal. But due to the expertise of Dr. Thomas that was not the route we needed to go! They do what is best for the patient!"
"Dr. Thomas and his team are outstanding! They worked me in for an emergency root canal, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Thomas did a fantastic job both times I've seen him, taking the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. The entire staff is friendly and helpful, with special kudos to Maddy, who assisted during the procedure. Most importantly, the root canal was painless and effective. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas!"
"Dr Thomas and the team at Brookwood Endodontics did a great job on my root canal."
"I had a wonderful experience at Birmingham Endodontics. I was in pain and they worked me in late in the day. Both Dr. Thomas and his assistant Grace were very kind, caring, and compassionate. They made sure I was comfortable and answered all my questions. I am now pain free! I highly recommend them if you find yourself in need of a root canal."
"I have used Brookwood Endodontics for several years. They are very welcoming. They have a great staff of people. They are very nice and helpful. Doctor Thomas is very nice and knowledgeable about his work. I’ve had to go back after a root canal that I had done about four years ago and found out that it was the tooth next to it that needed a root canal. They went ahead and took care of that right then. It was great to get it taken care of and not having to come back later."
"I was in alot of pain and needed a root canal as soon as possible. I was referred to Brookwood Endodontics and was able to be seen that afternoon! A big "THANK YOU" to the front desk for getting me in immediately, and an enormous "THANK YOU" to Vanessa and Dr. Thomas for a quick and painless procedure!Don't fear or stress about needing a root canal.....just go to Brookwood Endodontics! Can't thank them enough....."
"Thanks to the staff at Brookwood Endodontics for doing my root canal. Dr Thomas put me at ease after explaining the procedure. I also appreciated being offered a blanket. My pain level was minimal, and I received a follow up call the next morning to ask how I was doing. Nice style!"
"Pleasant staff. Dr Stephen Thomas was great. My procedure was a root canal and my experience was very good."
"It feels odd to award 5 stars to a root canal experience, but the high level of professionalism, intentional gentleness, and extensive comfort measures offered by Dr. Thomas at Brookwood Endodontics made my procedure much less daunting than I anticipated. (I had been deeply dreading this appointment for days!)Upon arrival at the office, I was warmly greeted in the classy and comfortable waiting area by the friendly faces and soft voices of the reception staff as calming inspirational music played in the background. The check-in process was quickly completed due to the online registration option that I was able to do from home. (The information presented during registration was very helpful and the additional communication via text helped me to be prepared for the payment process.)Before I was called back for my procedure, I was given the opportunity to choose comfort options that not only included the usual nitrous oxide, but a menu of drink options, TV channel choices, headphones, a pillow, and a comfy blanket. Once seated in the dental chair (which was facing a glass wall offering a beautiful panoramic view of Homewood and Red Mountain), I was carefully attended to (with my choices of bottled water and a fleece blanket) and respectfully prepped with an explanation of what was to come. Where was I?? So far, my visit seemed more like a spa than a dental office!The actual reason for my visit was soon addressed, but I was consistently asked how I was doing and I was never in pain. The use of cutting edge equipment and efficient and effective procedures put this dental practice in the lead for their field. Dr. Thomas and his assistant McKenna quickly took care of my tooth issue and sent me home with clearly explained verbal and written instructions, along with a voucher for a treat from Smoothie King as a "thank you." I later received a follow-up phone call/voicemail message from the office to check on my recovery.This experience was much easier than I anticipated due to well-run administrative procedures, clear communication, and Dr. Thomas's commitment to comfortable and competent care. If the need arises for endodontic treatment, I highly recommend Dr. Thomas and Brookwood Endodontics!"
"I saw Dr Thomas for the re-treatment of a root canal. I was very impressed with the office, staff and technology in addition to the care that I received. Dr Thomas explained everything throughly. They made sure I knew what to expect when I got home and had the meds to reduce the pain and risk of infection. The next day, a staff member called to follow up and check on me to see how I was doing. I would definitely recommend them."
"Dr. Thomas is fantastic, great personality, and knows how to be gentle with almost a pain free injections . He also has a supportive caring staff. Great experience considering I had a root canal and was in pain on arrival. Left feeling great. Thanks to you Dr Thomas and to your wonderful staff."
"Great and friendly office! My dental assistant McKenna was very friendly and welcoming. Dr. Thomas was also very friendly and answered my concerns. He did a great job on my root canal revision and made sure that I was not uncomfortable or in any pain. I will definitely be recommending this office!"
"I went to get some work done on a crown that had a root canal years ago but had gotten infected. Everything was nice, they have TVs in each room with a nice view while you wait. Grace took great care of me and made sure to offer me some water or a blanket if I got cold. There was a bit of a wait because they had multiple emergencies on this day but I was in no hurry at all and the time passed quickly.Dr. Stephen Thomas performed the procedure and did an excellent job. He was friendly and explained what the issues were and what he was doing to fix me up. Would definitely recommend this place!"
"Dr. Thomas and his assistant Maddie worked quickly and carefully. Totally painless root canal done in half an hour."
"Dr. Thomas and sweet Taylor were the best!! Honestly the entire staff as a whole that I came into contact with were absolutely precious! I had to have a root canal and it was the best experience I have ever had! They went above and beyond! Can not recommend enough!!"
"If you need a root canal the best place to have it done is Brookwood Endodontics. Dr. Stephen Thomas did a root canal on my tooth on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. He did an amazing job with no pain during the procedure or after. Dr. Thomas is the best and Stephanie his assistant was marvelous. She made feel real comfortable during the procedure and answered all my questions. They have the best staff working in their office with great customer service. This is the place to have a root canal done."
"On the 4/3/24 I had 3 root canals at brookwood endodontics . Dr Thomas and his assistant Taylor were wonderful . I was extremely anxious but their level of competence, calmness and consideration got me through the experience wanting me to let everyone I know that needs a root canal to schedule with them ."
"Had a root canal performed at this facility. All the staff - person who greeted me upon arrival, person who took the x-rays, Vanessa who assisted, and Dr. Thomas who performed the procedure - were tops! Highly recommend!"

"Highly recommend this office! From check in to check out, everyone was very pleasant. Dr. Thomas and his assistant, Crystal, managed a timely root canal with no discomfort. Five stars!"
"I had the best dental experience here ever! I felt so comfortable and cared for by Dr. Thomas and Crystal. The dentist usually gives me anxiety, especially when needing a root canal, but I was so impressed. When I first walked in, they gave me an accommodations sheets where I could chose to use a blanket, pillow, and/or headphones, pick the TV channel I wanted to watch and what soft drink I'd like after. Throughout the procedure Dr. Thomas diligently and clearly walked me through what was going on. The best part was there was NO pain during or after! I couldn't feel a thing, even when he gave me the numbing shots. They called me the next day to make sure I was doing ok and answered any questions I had. This place is one of a kind!!! And the view and office is unreal!"
"Dr. Thomas did my first ever root canal last Tuesday. It was not tension free (on me), but pain free. I highly recommend this group. Very professional, courteous, and upbeat. Also has a fantastic view of Samford U.-JP"

"Definitely worth the hour and thirty minute drive! The front staff were very friendly and constantly checked to make sure I was comfortable the entire visit. Grace and Dr. Thomas did a wonderful job with my root canal re treatment. I was extremely nervous about the procedure but they reassured me that everything would be fine. There was no pain at all throughout the whole procedure and if I ever need another one done I’ll definitely come back here."
"Dr Thomas and Morgan is the best.If I need any service as to root canal, I'm coming back to Dr Thomas, NO PAIN. I'm taking the antibiotics but I haven't ta..."
"This was my first root canal done by a specialist ( endodonist) instead of a dentist , I was very afraid bc I’ve had a lot of procedures that were done incorrectly by a “regular “dentist . All I can say is “ WOW” the difference in this root canal is night snd day !!!I had absolutely no swelling, no pain at all afterwards! Couldn’t even tell if had anything done ! The shots were the worst part of the entire root canal ! If highly recommend Dr Steven Thomas , if I ever need another root canal, I won’t hesitate to go back! So glad my regular dentist referred me here ! The staff was wonderful also !!"
"I had a root canal and Dr. Thomas and his staff were absolutely AMAZING! They made me feel like family. The were super friendly. This was my first root canal and I am almost looking forward to another one! Sounds crazy I know, but they were OUTSTANDING!"
"Dr. Thomas did an excellent job with my root canal. Abby assisted and did a wonderful job of taking care of me. I appreciate Abby calling the next day to check on me. The entire staff is so nice! I will recommend to all my family and friends."
"Best experience for having a root canal. I do not like going to dentist have severe anxiety but Dr Thomas and staff puts you at ease.Only place I would recommend it’s just too bad they don’t provide other services such as dental, periodontics etc"
"I had a root canal. Dr Thomas was awesome. Shelbi, Anna and Abby were very nice. All made sure I was ok. Front desk ladies were very nice."
"i got a root canal here today and was so nervous about it. Sam and Dr. Thomas were so great and made sure i was very comfortable. They offer you a pillow, blanket, your choice of drink and tv channel which is so nice. They numbed me up very well so i didn’t feel one thing and made sure to ask if i was doing okay every few minutes."
"Very satisfied with the care that all the staff and Dr. Thomas provided. I was extremely nervous about my visit and they made sure to keep me comfortable for the entire procedure. This is the first root canal I’ve had done and I’m glad I went to Brookwood Endodontics."
"The most professional and enjoyable dental procedure I have ever experienced!! Dr. Thomas performed a root canal on me that literally lasted no longer than 45 minutes from start to finish. A small prick when numbing, and virtually no pain throughout the procedure and none afterward or throughout the night/next day. I had had unbearable toothache pain for 4 days and they fit me in at 4:00 in the afternoon on the same day I called. It is truly a dental practice full of professional and friendly employees in a spa-like atmosphere. These guys are the best!!!"
"I have had several root canals done in my life, at other dentists. Although most of them were ok, I have to say that this time, at Brookwood Endodontics, my experience was beyond wonderful! As soon as I walked in, I knew it would be different, but I had no idea just how great it would be! Offering patients blankets, pillows, headphones, asking their preference for the tv station ... that might seem like little stuff, but for a patient who is deathly afraid of dentists and/or needles, it was the perfect thing to make me feel comfortable. The view from my chair was also fantastic, and helped me feel like I wasn't even at the dentist.As someone who is absolutely terrified of needles, I was sure this was going to be another unpleasant experience, but Dr Thomas made sure I didn't even FEEL the needle he used. The contraption they put over your mouth, to keep any debris falling into the back of your throat, made things even more comfortable for me, as I didn't feel like I had to hold a mouthful of saliva or ask for suction; I was able to relax throughout the entire procedure.I would highly recommend Brookwood Endodontics - in particular Dr Thomas - to anyone who needed a root canal done. In fact, I have raved to everyone who will listen already! Thank you for making my root canal a PLEASANT experience."
"have never had a pleasant experience with root canals! Dr. Thomas and his staff, assistants, and everyone were so professional, caring, and attentive that I had a very good procedure! My dentist says he will send all patients to this group! He has had nothing but positive feedback from all he has referred! Thank you —- if I need any more work I am sure to go back, and I’m telling all of my friends about this amazing practice!"
"I was in so much pain the day I had my root canal but Dr. Thomas was very caring and patient with me. The procedure went well and I had little to no pain afterwards."
"Thank you Dr. Thomas for doing such a wonderful job on my root canal. I have been in pain for so long and am glad that I sought out your practice. You have a wonderful team and I would gladly give you a million referrals."
"Staff was very nice, let me know exactly how much out of pocket before appointment, Dr. Thomas did not do root canal after seeing x-rays and doing exam. He didn't think it would help my problem and wanted to consult with my regular dentist first. That proves he wants the best for his patients and it's not just about making money. I was impressed."
"Dr. Thomas was wonderful! I just had a root canal this week. I was petrified when I walked into the exam room. Crystal was so kind and patient, explained t..."
