Dr. Nancy Herbst

I have a lot of dental issues (that's actually an understatement) and I also have stage 4 cancer. I was waiting to start my chemo medication because I had a tooth that needed to be removed. I recently got Medicaid so had to leave my dentist of about 20 years b/c he didn't take it. I've had absolutely terrible experiences with other dentists and oral surgeons in the past resulting in a chronic pain condition in my jaw & losing 3 teeth & an implant that were perfectly fine. So when I was looking for a new oral surgeon I read the reviews carefully and am so glad I did. Dr. Herbst & the staff at Union City Dental are absolutely top notch. I actually ended up having my tooth removed by a different oral surgeon at the last minute b/c Dr. Herbst was very busy but the other surgeon did an excellent job. I literally didn't feel any pain at all while she was pulling it & was surprised it was over so fast (it definitely helped that I got the laughing gas too lol). But Dr Herbst spent a lot of time talking to me prior to that & it took a while for that area to heal so I had to go back a few times and always saw her. She just couldn't be nicer as well as extremely knowledgeable and good at her job. I ended up finding a new dentist who told me I had to have yet ANOTHER tooth extracted! When I told my oncologist she almost had a nervous breakdown because she said I couldn't wait any longer to start my medicine and I couldn't get another tooth out at the same time. I spoke to Dr Herbst about it and she immediately asked me for the dentist's name and called her. She explained the situation to her and they worked out that I would have a root canal on the tooth instead to help with the pain. I can't tell you how grateful I was to have her help b/c I was just so overwhelmed by the whole situation. The only slight negative thing I have to say is that even if you have an appt, you still usually have to wait a long time b/c they're very busy. But it's not even enough for me to take a star off because I'm just so happy with the service there. I highly highly recommend Dr. Herbst & her team at Union City Dental. I don't drive & it costs me about $50 in cab rides each time I go but even that isn't a deterrent to me. Trust me I've seen all kinds of oral surgeons and they are absolutely the best of the best that I've ever experienced.
