I made an appointment and made it clear that it was for a root canal on Zocdoc. I even called the office and ask if Dr. Stern perform root canals and I was told yes (the receptionist even told me that my insurance usually cover it but it depends on how complex the root canal is ). I went to the office and was told he doesn't perform root canals. Very frustrating!
