Dr. Sosnay is an amazingly skilled endodontist. He took care of me when I had an emergency infection that required an elaborate root canal. He artfully performed the relatively painless root canal literally going through my plate rather than removing it (which would have been easier for him I'm sure). Not only did Dr. Sosnay effectively treat the infection that caused the whole side of my mouth and face to swell, and perform an intricate root canal with no residual pain, but also, his office staff was consistently friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Sosnay and his office staff, and I will return to him for all my endodontist needs even though he is out of my Aetna network -- he is an expert in an critical area where expert, artful dentistry is needed!

I recently had a complicated root canal Rx done by Dr. Sosnay. Dr. Sosnay diagnosed a very complicated situation that was not recognized for over a year. He handled the treatment in the utmost professional way. I had ZERO pain during and after the treatment. Literally a miracle! In addition, the office was very welcoming and accommodating. I recommend Dr. Sosnay and his office fulheartedly!!!

Referred by my dentist to resolve a complicated root canal which he did expertly, quickly and without pain. The best root canal experience I ever from a concerned and personable doctor.

Dr Sosnay took me the same day that I had an awful toothache and relieved the pain with a root canal. He was serious, professional and highly skilled. His follow up was also excellent and I appreciated his answering all of my many questions about my problem and his operative procedure.. I would strongly recommend him. Less important, but very much appreciated, is that his staff seemed happy to be working with him and were very nice to me.
