Patient Testimonials

"I have been referred to Orange Blossom Endodontics on three occasions by the VA. I found the staff to be very friendly and professional. Dr Claus is an excellent dentist and completed my necessary root canals with absolutely no pain. It is also important to note that I have never had any difficulties after the procedures were accomplished."
Bob Card - February 2019

"A cracked wisdom tooth needing a root canal brought me to O. B. E. Doctor Maria and her team Chastity, Cheryl and Laura were accurate and respectful. I compare them to a Special Ops. team. They rendered me a painless experience and for such a difficult tooth position to access. In less than an hour. Thank you O.B.E. !"

"I had a root canal yesterday and I cannot be more pleased with the result. It is not surprising. All were kind, understanding and attentive. Above all, was the outstanding team work. When the doctor got to work, everyone knew what was expected of them and preformed perfectly. Teamwork is a great sign of a great operation. It signals good communication, and understanding of expectations and stellar performance."
Michael Curry - January 2019 (Google)

"Friendly staff and welcoming office. Dr. Maria Locher Claus and her Assistant Laura made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I didn't feel I was having a root canal and the time passed by very quickly. Using state of the arts equipment and knowledge this experience was not at all like the one I had 35 years ago. I definitely would recommend Orange Blossom Endodontics and give them a ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ Five Star rating!!!"
Yve Mumley - January 2019 (Facebook)

"My dentist recently referred me to Orange Blossom Endodontics for a root canal. Although in the past 72 years 'my teeth and I' have been to dentists more times than I care to remember, this is the first time I've felt it important to formally share my experience with others.
Dr. Locher-Claus — and each member of her staff — couldn't have been more professional, pleasant and helpful. Oh, and they called me the next day to make sure I wasn't having any problems following the procedure. They were, in a word, GREAT!"
Bob Phillips - January 2019 (Google)

"I had a very pleasant experience needing a very unpleasant root canal. From the moment I walked into the office everyone was very comforting and professional. Dr. Claus and her staff were very accommodating and made this experience so much better than other endodontics offices I have visited before. Her office is very nice and the music and nice chairs help relax you too. No one wants to have a root canal, but when you do, go to Dr.Claus because she is a gift to those needing dental work. Thank You!"
Audrey Quattlebaum - December (Facebook)

"Dr. Claus just finished up repairing an old root canal that was breaking down. The whole experience was great from start to finish.
The staff and Doctor are very professional and courteous.
I will continue to use them for any future issues."

"Dr.Claus and her staff saved my life. After a couple of root canals, returning from a convention she meet me at her office on a Saturday morning. After explaining what she thought was going on, the excruciating pain I was having could possibly be Trigeminal Neuralgia. She took time to explain what it was and the next step to take. Thanks to her and her staff and seeing a neurologist,I was pain free for 3 years. I would recommend her and her staff highly!"
Emily Graham - November 2018 (Facebook)

​"You're not supposed to like your endodontist, I get it. Endodontics is not fun. In fact it's kind of the opposite of fun. But Dr. Locher-Claus made it as good as it could be.
I was referred by my dentist to have a mistake a previous dentist made years ago which had resulted in a persistent infection and recurring problems.
She saw me quickly. Her staff were very attentive, they called me before the surgery to make sure I was following Doctor's orders, they called afterwards to check on my recovery. They did it right.
As I said you can make this stuff fun but I can't imagine anyone making the process any less uncomfortable."
John Longman - November 2018 (Google)

​Dr Claus did the best root canal I have ever received! Her and her staff were very professional and caring during the procedure. And to top it off there was very little pain afterwards! If I ever need another one I would not hesitate to return to Dr Claus."
Dennis Gallentine - October 2018 (Google)

"I highly recommend Dr.Claus. She has done 4 root canals for me and I wouldn't want anyone else. She and her staff are very friendly and a pleasure to be around. Thank you Dr.Claus, you are the BEST!"
​Peg Merges - August 2018 (Google Review)

"Dr. Claus is so very gentle and knowledgeable. She explained what she was going to do before the procedure, and took x-rays throughout the root-canal-process to make sure everything is done exactly right. If I ever need another root canal, I will definitely go back to her."
Sharon Vining - July 2018 (Google)

Grace Ranger - April 2018 (Google)

"Happy to report superb experience as Dr. Locher-Claus (Orange Blossom Endodontics) patient. The procedure was well explained and effectively, gently performed. It was a difficult access and other endontist anticipated damaging the dental crown as the risk of the procedure. Dr. Locher - Claus did effective root canal fully preserving the crown, saving me plenty of troubles and expenses.
Besides superb technical skills the whole team as well as the physical aspects of the facility offered healing , relaxing atmosphere. I am glad to highly recommend services of Orange Blossom Endodontics!!"

"I am very happy to offer a testimonial for Dr. Claus and her staff. I was in pain and they squeezed me into an already full schedule. Yet, they made me feel like I was the only one that mattered. I was not rushed, and left the office with relief from the pain I had. The staff was the best medical staff I have ever experienced. All were friendly, extremely competent, and gave me confidence that I was in the best place to solve my emergency situation. Dr. Claus is gentle and highly skilled in her work. Thank you all for a wonderful end to my emergency situation."
Fred Heller  May 3, 2017

"I had an infection in my upper jawbone, that was treated by "professionals" for 5 years without any results. I was told they had exhausted all medical abilities to resolve the infection. I was referred to Dr. Claus as a last effort to resolve this persistent, extremely painful infection that was destroying my health and quality of life. Dr. Claus took radiographs, reviewed them and told me the infection could be resolved with surgery to the jaw bone. Dr. Claus did the surgery with no pain by cutting through my jaw bone and removed the abscess and cured the "incurable" infection. Life has been great since. Thank you Dr Claus for giving me my health back!"
Richard Hathaway  April 7, 2017

Bonnie Berman   March 12, 2017

"I had a root canal redone....it was originally done by a very incompetent dentist. The difference in the work performed was like night and day. Dr. Claus is clearly an exceptional dentist and runs an operation with very high standards. This work was completed in one hour and the staff was with me all the time time explaining exactly what was happening. No question was a problem for them to answer. I do not live in America and I will certainly recommend Dr. Claus to my fellow Canadians, should they require dental work. "
Jackie Wark      March 02, 2017

"LOVED my experience at Orange Blossom Endodontics. Dr. Claus is very efficient, and truly cares for her patients.

I would definitely recommend OBE!! 5 Stars!!!"

Delana, Dr Claus's assistant, was very caring and explained the steps while she was preparing me for the procedure. She made me very comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Claus was very gentle and I didn't feel any pain at all. I was so happy I went to Orange Blossom Endodontics. Great Dentist with an amazing knowledge!"

I am so happy I didn't, I was in a lot of pain, and she and her staff were able to take me the same day. I was soo nervous after I decided to go ahead and have it done. They did my consultation and my root canal in under 2 hours. For me to say a root canal was almost painless is crazy, but IT WAS ALMOST PAINLESS. They were absolutely Awesome.

Andrea Hellin  July 7, 2016

"I had five root canals in one year prior to moving to Fl. I experienced tooth pain and went to a referred endodontist who misdiagnosed my infection and need for another root canal. Dr. Locher-Claus immediately diagnosed the infection and completed two root canal retreatments after treating the infections. She also made a mouth splint to decrease stress to my mouth in order to prevent more root canals from occurring. The splint is working amazingly and she sees me to adjust the splint as needed. I can't say enough great things about this doctor and her staff is extremely smart and pleasant. Great team works at this office!"

She also welcomes you to ask questions or address any concerns. Never rushed and she treated me as if I was the only patient in the office. Not only is Dr. Maria Locher Claus outstanding, her team of assistants and front office staff are very responsive and friendly-qualities that are hard to find."
Christine Esarey   June 27, 2016

Alan Finkelstein    June 14, 2016

I will also recommend her to friends."
Sallyanne Palmer   April 20, 2016

"My dentist recommended I see Dr. Claus for an abscess that was developing under a capped tooth. I had delayed going for many months, my dentist again strongly recommended I see Dr. Claus. I finally decided to take her advice and make a positive approach to a situation I knew  would not improve on its own. Dr. Claus office is professionally run by a caring support team, they explained the entire procedure, showed me what they planned to do and made me feel confident and comfortable. Dr. Claus joined us and again explained what would be happening. Using her up to date equipment she masterfully worked on my tooth. There was NO PAIN, her demeanor was excellent and I would completely trust her abilities. My root canal was so different from what I remember from past root canals, it was fast, it was painless, and her team worked together flawlessly. Even the receptionist was great. Thank you Dr. Claus, you made an otherwise nerve racking situation, gentle and soothing."

Anne Kellogg  April 12, 2016

Ken Leibach  March 31, 2016

Dale Stank  March 29, 2016

Stephen Leftwich  March 10, 2016

"I was in the process of moving from Florida to Pennsylvania when my dentist recommended Dr. Locher-Claus for an immediate set of Root Canals because of the urgency of my move. She and her staff understood the situation and saw me right away. She did excellent work and the pain I had went away immediately. Thank you for the wonderful service I received."
Charlette Holdner February 27, 2016

Lynette Robbins   February 16, 2016

"My dentist at Aspen Dental told me I needed a root canal before she could put a crown. She referred me to a certain Endodondist office but luckly for me they seemed not to be under my dental insurance network so I searched for one my ownself and I was lucky to run across Dr. Maria Locher-Claus name on my insurance's website. Her office was near my workplace so I decided to try her. I am so glad I did. I was nervous but the staff was so great and Dr. Claus did a great job. My dentist later on was impressed by the good job on the root canal. I am hoping I won't need another root canal anytime soon but if I ever do there is no doubt that I would only let Dr. Maria Locher-Claus do it."
Juan Torres   February 16. 2016

"1,700 hundred miles from home with a nagging toothache is not great for someone deathly afraid of dentists but it worked out well as I referred to an incredible endodontist by the name of Maria Locher-Claus! She went above and beyond by extending her hours to rid me of the pain before the weekend. I knew the moment I walked into her office and saw the wall of diplomas she has earned that I was going to be in good hands. The entire staff was very professional. I highly recommend Orange Blossom Endodontics to anyone in need of this service. I enjoyed it so much that I'm going back for a second root canal in the very near future. Yeah???"
Jim Baker  February 1, 2016

"Today I went to see Dr. Claus for the first time for a re-check on a tooth with a root canal from time past. I especially had great concern regarding trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and if it was related to possible TMJ or teeth clenching. I came in with much apprehension of any hope for TN. As I asked questions to which she graciously listened, I became calm and hopeful of my situation. She was very kind, pleasant, attentive, instructive, helpful in offering other resources and a list of neuropathy doctors. As I left she offered for me to call if I had any other questions. I have found her to be very professional, warm, caring listening doctor to whom I would refer my family and friends. The staff was very pleasant and kind and patient as well."
Kathy Garcia   January 13, 2016

"I was in need of having a root canal redone that was originally done in Seattle. Dr. Claus checked it out and without hesitation got the ball rolling. I had gone to another endodontist and was given a 50-50 chance of saving t he tooth. Well, I just walked out of Dr. Claus' office today from final check up. She saved the tooth and saved me $2,000 that it would have cost me for an implant.. She has a couple pieces of equipment that assist her in the process that most other endodontist do not have. One is a Cone Beam CT which gives a 3D image of the tooth and the other high powered microscope that magnifies up to 20 times a normal view. Most dentists only have equipment that magnifies 5 times normal. This gives her a leg up on others and combined with her skills makes Orange Blossom Endodontics the place to go when the need arises. The staff is great too....Mitzie, Vivian and Chasity were great. Very upbeat and enjoyable to be around while remaining professionals in their field. If you're in need of an endodontist....No need to look around just pick up the phone and make the appointment with them! Thanks to all for everything."
Richard Pierce   October 5, 2015

"I have been treated by Dr. Claus for root canals and dental surgery. While most patients dreads these procedures I must say my experience with Dr. Claus and all of her staff has been nothing but first class and professional. Her care along with her staff are a thing of the past, calling patients to see how they are doing, making sure pain levels are at a minimum.. Bless Dr. Claus and her staff for wonderful care and professional atmosphere."
Mary Antepenko    September 25, 2015

"I had to take a minute after my last appointment and write this note to Dr. Claus and all her staff about how wonderful my experience was there. I wish more offices were run like yours. Everyone is so professional, friendly and get their jobs done in a timely manner. Your front office is so efficient that I was taken aback. You don't get you kind of service anymore. My only regret is once my issues are resolved I don't get to continue to go to your practice. I will definitely recommend people to your practice whenever I can. Thanks again for all your help."

When I called for the appointment, the receptionist shared my sense of urgency and said "don't worry, we'll get you there". They got me in the same day, and did the procedure the next day, and I was on my way to Michigan. Dr. Claus and her staff all assured me they would "get it done" and they did.

Many thanks for you care and successful attention to my "real" teeth!"
Norma Jane Schamens   April 24, 2015       

"Since this was my first root canal I wasn't sure what to expect. Everyone from the front desk on were very professional. The assistant explained what Dr. Claus would be doing and put me at ease. Dr. Claus and her assistant worked as a well oiled machine. No pain at all and even now that the numbness has gone away I feel no pain. Thanks or your great care."                                                                        Gayle Sauner    April 22, 2015

"Referred to Dr. Claus by me Periodontist, (Dr. Davis), who I've been with for over 7 years. I was extremely pleased throughout the whole process and feel very lucky to have been referred to such a professional office staff and endodontic specialist. The office and equipment is state of the art. After all these years I managed to avoid the need for a root canal procedure but would not hesitate an instant to return to Orange Blossom and Dr. Claus if I even had a hint of a problem. Everything pre-procedure and post-procedure was superb. I didn't need it but was pleased to have a direct cell # to Dr. Claus after the procedure had I any concerns. We are lucky in this part of FL to have such talent available when needed."

A rare review to be sure without hesitation from a genuinely positive perspective. "
Sharon Krause  February 9, 2015

"I was originally referred to your office by my dentist for diagnosis and treatment of a problem with my mandibular joint (TMJ). Dr. Claus recommended a custom made splint for me to wear every night while sleeping. After a few weeks of wearing the splint, my problem was corrected.
 
However, this week, I suffered an accident in which my upper front tooth was pushed in slightly. I called your office for an assessment of what damage I may have caused and you were kind enough to schedule me for an appointment the very next day. Dr. Claus immediately diagnosed and fixed he problem and I was on my way.

Every time that I have been in you office I have been treated with kindness and respect. Dr. Claus and your entire staff are very capable at what you do and courteous in you treatment of patients.   Thank you for all that you have done for me!"
Robert Gunn  February 01, 2015

 Dorothy Harris January 28, 2015

"If a root canal becomes necessary again, I have the comfort of knowing that Dr. Claus and Orange Blossom Endodontics are there for me. Dr. Claus explained the entire procedure thoroughly. Her front office staff handled all the finances with no surprises. There was very little discomfort after my procedure, an unexpectedly pleasant experience."
Diana Tuturice  January 28, 2015

"True professionalism. After a procedure, they check on you the next day (short term), schedule you for an X-ray three to four months out to check on bone recovery (long-term), and if you are in pain they find the time (even staying late) to take care of you. They also coordinate with your normal dentists on procedures, etc so that a total solution is reached. Kinda hard to see how they could do any better...."

If I ever need any endodontic work done she is the one I want to do it."                                  
Wayne Clark November 23, 2014

"I suffered from tmj pain for a long time before I met Dr. Claus. She was referred to me by Dr. Walter. I was in so much pain and discomfort when I went to see her. My jaw felt like it locked in a vice. She fitted me for a mouth splint. Results were not immediate but after about a month I really noticed an improvement. For the past 3 months I have felt so much better. With her encouragement and expertise I have learned to use the splint as a therapeutic device which has lessened my pain to the point where it is tolerable. I am so grateful to her for helping me feel so much better!  
Jeanne Tuck  November 15, 2014

"Great doc and great staff. They took care of a root canal problem that I had been dealing with for nearly a year. And they allowed me to be intimately involved in the final solution.

Lynn Francazio October 31,2014

"Was never treated so good. My first visit and it was like Dr. Claus and her knowledgeable and professional staff had known me forever. And, they are normally closed on Friday, but because I was having a very painful problem with a tooth, she/they made it a point to come in primarily just to treat my situation. I will forever be grateful. The procedure went pain free and very quick. The best I have ever had the opportunity to witness. Thank you Dr. Claus, and also your very professional staff."

"Very professional from start to finish. Dr. Locher-Claus made entire procedure quick and comfortable. I was at ease through the entire procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Locher-Claus and her excellent staff. You're in good hands!!"                                          
Mary Coleman  October 14, 2014 

"Very welcoming and professional office. All staff, from reception to dental assistants and Dr. Locher-Claus were friendly, gentle, caring and extremely competent. I would not hesitate to see them again"

"AND A STANDING OVATION FOR DR. CLAUS- CLAERLY SHE IS THE ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL AND A COMBINATION OF EXCELLENCE AND KIND COMPASSION. HOW FORTUNE I FEEL TO HAVE BEEN IN HER EVER SO CAPABLE HANDS."                                           
 Bonnie Berman October 25, 2014 

"I was very impressed by the excellent staff that Dr. Locher-Claus has in her office in The Villages. I called in the morning and the staff and Dr. Claus saw me that afternoon. Again, I appreciate all the assistance that Dr. Claus and her staff gave me."              
 Mack Wood  October 22,2014    

"I was, as always, very nervous going to the dentist. But I was so very pleasantly surprised by the entire staff at your office. The reception staff was great, giving me all the information I needed and putting me at ease.

I was most impressed by the dental assistants who were very concerned with putting me at ease and making sure I was comfortable during the entire treatment. What a great staff you have. Needless to say, Dr. Locher-Claus  is the best. I have been to manydentists and had a lot of various treatments but I was never more impressed with anyone as much as with Dr. Locher-Claus. Even though the treatment was expensive, at least for me, I left feeling I got my money's worth. Thanks very much."                               
 Jack Mucha  August 12, 2014

"Today is the day after my root canal. I understand she had to implant devices in 4 different canals. I was concerned about the pain I might have the day after the procedure. Besides the 4 devices she had to remove bacteria from the existing crown, and was able to save the crown. I haven't taken any pain medication today, and am sure she did a perfect job.  Dr. Locher-Claus' assistant Sam was wonderful as well, as well as all of her staff. I would definitely recommend Dr. Locher-Claus for anyone needing a professional endodontist."                                                   
 Michael Hayes September 25, 2014

"I suffered a lower jaw injury; it was nearly three months before I summoned the courage to see a dentist, Dr. Linda Pellosie, who immediately referred me to Dr. Maria Locher-Claus. From the moment I called Orange Blossom Endodontics to make an appointment, my fears began to dissipate. The front office staff were professional, courteous, efficient and accommodating. More than that, each and everyone of them spoke with pride and respect of Dr. Claus. Sensing my apprehension, they reassured me, 'Don't worry, our Dr. Claus will take good care of you. She's awesome!'

And she is! I am in complete awe of Dr. Claus's profound knowledge of her specialty, her superior skill and level of professionalism. Mine was not a simple case by any means, but it went smoothly and painlessly. Interestingly, in executing the procedure, Dr. Claus's interaction with her assistants was respectful, precise and efficient, which spoke volumes to me. This is not my first rodeo...I've had well more than dental procedure in my 69 years. I can honestly say my experience with Dr. Claus and her team of professionals outshines any in my experience. I shall be eternally grateful to Dr. Pellosie for referring me to Dr. Claus."                               Penny Kindt   September 25, 2014                                                                             

"I can't say enough about Dr. Claus and her staff. She performed a very difficult root canal on me and I barely felt pain. When I went back for my follow up I told Dr. Claus I was going to nominate her for sainthood. Its gratifying to know that there are professionals like her...All my best to her and her staff."

"After hearing all the unpleasant things that could happen my trip ended up quite different...V.I.P Denistry referred me to Orange Blossom Endodontics..what a pleasant surprise from the front desk(exceptional) to the young ladies who assist Dr. Maria Locher-Claus.. The root canal was painless and she was finished before I realized, wait...no pain..the next day everything is just fine....I feel like it was a git to have that kind of care...thanks again...Karl P.S. A new definition to the word root canal......Pleasant.."                            
Karl Milkey September 19,2014

"At 14 years old I had a diving accident and had a lot of dental work over the years. Now 64 years old and still apprehensive to visit the dentist. I had the best experience from Dr. Claus and her staff that I totally recommend Orange Blossom Endodontics and my thanks to Dr. Claus."                                                             Nancy Lockshier September 17, 2014

Well, I lasted 68 years without a root canal. At my dentist's suggestion, I made an appointment with Dr. Claus since two of my teeth were so badly decayed that just repairing the cavities was not possible. The plan was to have one root canal on one tooth and extract the other. After a preliminary exam with Dr. Claus, she advised again pulling the tooth because structurally it was still sound. I am very glad I git her opinion and listend to her. The procedure was done in relative ease. The assistants were great also. Hooray for Dr.Claus.                  
 Clayton Smith September 16, 2014

I recently had a root canal by Dr. Claus and was surprised, when I entered the clinic, I was greeted in such a friendly, but professional way that instantly put me at ease. The dental assistant was great and Mitzy had such a personality that made the visit such a pleasure. Everyone I met was very nice. I had no pain, no soreness. The root canal was a piece of cake!                                                                                                                 Leonard Lawson September 07, 2014

 "Today's was procedure 3 or 4 that Dr. Claus has done to relieve pain and, as usual, everything was handled quite professionally. It's obvious that her staff is well trained and very supportive of the professionalism Dr. C. wishes to portray to her patients. Kudos to all (and all a goodnight!)                                                                 John Dunlap July 28, 2014

"I have had several root canals-but none as painless as the procedure Dr. Claus performed. She also has an excellent staff. The ladies at the front desk are so nice and make you feel welcome. Her assistants are very professional and did everything to make me feel comfortable. My own dentist recommended Dr.Claus and now I will never go any place else." 
Judy Sonner Sept. 4, 2014  

"Excellent doctor and staff! My root canal was performed extremely well with very little discomfort. I would definitely go back if I need more endodontic work."
Tammy Brendel   September 10, 2014

"I was referred by my dentist to Dr. Claus. The process from being greeted, the information process, the initial exam, procedure, and follow up was very professional and friendly. I hope having a root canal is a limited experience but would definetely recommend Dr.Claus if a Endo procedure is needed. Thank you to Dr. Claus and the Staff for making the visit more pleasant and attentive."
David Ballew   August 29, 2014

"A very caring and compassionate office. I was referred by my dentist, but couldn't believe how quickly I received appointment after explaining my pain. The resulting root canal procedure went smoothly and without pain. I can't say enough about Dr. Claus and her staff. I highly recommend this office."
Joan Reardon  August 28, 2014

"My experience at OB Endodontics was surprising pleasant. Beginning with the greeting my the office staff, all were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Claus performed a root canal, she was professional, but at the same time personable and friendly, I felt she actually cared about me and my comfort. The young ladies who stayed with me and occupied me, as I waited for the numbing agents to take effect were courteous and provided interesting conversation, which made the time fly by.
I won't say a root canal is something I'll ever look forward to, however OB Endo made the experience much less painful that a root canal has ever been for me before.
If you have to have a root canal have Dr. Claus perform it."
Marsha Herring  August 20, 2014

I am the dental hygienist for the veterans administation in The Villages. I have the last 3 years heard very nice comments from the veterans that we referred and were treated by Dr. Claus. I now can say first hand that I agree with all those veterans. I had a tooth endodontically treated a couple weeks ago by Dr. Claus and the experience was lovely. From the welcoming of the front office to the professionalism of the dental assistants and mostly to the expertise of Dr. Claus if was all wonderful. I have been in the dental profession for 40 years and was amazed at the precise quick gentle treatment I received. This tooth has given me trouble for years and now it is just great. Thanks to all the staff and Dr. Claus
Michele Bornstein  August 20, 2014

Having been married to a dentist for 49 years, I feel qualified to speak on behalf of this endo practice. The staff was friendly and comforting. Dr. Claus was extremely personable and certainly well trained in her specialty. She carefully explained what she was doing and why and made me feel that I was getting the best care possible. Although, I didn't rise a red flag, at this time, if a problem does occur, I will definitely seek her professional help.
Sherry Schwartz August 20, 2014

"This was my first time for a root canal. I will go back. There was no pain at all. The next morning I would not have thought that I had a root canal. Keep up the good work."
Carlton Fletcher August 19, 2014

"My experience with my root canal with Dr. Claus was very amazing. Everyone was so wonderful and caring and , above, all, the experience was pain free. I highly recommend her and her excellent staff"
Frank Bruno July 28th 2014

"I would like to let you know of my experience with Orange Blossom Endodontics.  I had been putting up with jaw pain and headaches for a terribly long time.  My general dentist referred me, I made an appointment with the office and when I had my first appointment, I was very surprised to find a warm staff and to also find a sincere and compassionate doctor.  They examined my teeth and told me that they could prepare an appliance that would relieve the muscle ache in my face and jaw.  I agreed to try the appliance and the doctor went about taking the impression.  I went for my second appointment for the fitting of the appliance and when I left the office I instantly was relieved.  In fact within a two week period thereafter, my headaches subsided and my jaw pain was non-existent.  I would highly recommend Orange Blossom Endodontics for treating any facial and jaw pain."
Linda Sweeney , June 2014


"I cannot say enough good things about the professional and caring way that I was treated. I had been in pain for several weeks before my visit. Dr. Claus, after examining me, explained what needed to done, how she was going to do it, and the cost involved. I was told to expect some pain and discomfort for a day or two. I never really had any major pain or discomfort. I would recommend Dr. Claus to anyone. She and her staff are excellent."
John Filipiak, June 2014

"I had a root canal performed by Dr. Claus and couldn't be happier. The procedure was professionally done and pain free."
Dave Spratt, June 2014

"I was having a problem with one of my teeth and after a few weeks I went to see my regular dentist. She told me that I needed a root canal. They called Dr. Claus's office and she fit me into her busy schedule that afternoon. Dr. Claus was excellent. She was able to relieve my pain that afternoon. She was very nice and took time to answer all my questions. Her staff that I met (Mitz and Ashley) were very professional and welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr. Claus to anyone who needed her services."
Vince Donofrio      June 2014

"I was impressed with the entire practice! Dr. Claus and her staff were professional, efficient and friendly. I felt comfortable as soon as I first walked in the door. Because Dr. Claus is talented and gentle, my root canal went smoothly, quickly and was even painless! I would definitely recommend her to those who need endodontics!!"
Larrie Townsend   June 2014

"NO PAIN! Who would have thought that you could have a root canal and never experience ANY pain?! Dr. Claus and her staff were amazing. I would highly recommend them!"
Joan Spencer     June 2014

"I was about to go on a trip for a number of weeks, when I suddenly started experiencing pain in my lower jaw in the vicinity of a bridge from a few years ago. It was recommended I visit Dr. M. Clause and am I glad I did. After an extensive examination Dr. Claus explained what was going on, and put my mind at ease that nothing immediately needed to be done, but eventually I will need root canal in the tooth causing me intermittent discomfort. I found Dr. Claus easy to talk to, and there is no doubt she is very knowledgeable and trust her opinion in my follow up visit's. She is truly a caring, and concerned professional. Dr. Claus and her staff made my trip to the Orange Blossom Endodontic a comfortable and pleasurable one. Thank you."
Kathryn Connelly

"Root canal has been a dreaded phrase in my past and I promised to never have one. In 2009, my promise had to be broken and I was referred to Dr. Claus. My roots curve. The tooth in 2009 was a molar and took extra long for the procedure. She did such excellent work (no pain) that when I was told this week that I needed another, she was the first person called. She scheduled me for this morning. I was able to get to work early for my 1 PM to 9 PM shift and did some shopping between the service and work time. Root canals are no longer dreaded procedures. Dr. Claus and her entire office staff are a delight. Thank you for everything. Shirley G. Barker :) "
Shirley G. Barker

"I had suffered for 7 days and was looking forward to seeing a specialist. The reason it took this long was because I needed a referral. When I got the referral I was able to see Dr. Claus the next day. Everyone in this office that I have had contact with has been extremely helpful and very understanding. I for one was very grateful for their expertise. The treatment and follow up has been excellent."
Wayne Clark


"Dr. Claus came to my aid when I developed problems with a 41-year-old root canal. Her very professional and state-of-the-art office and her cordial chairside manner are a winning combination. I was out of the dental chair in less than an hour with a new root canal. There was no discomfort whatsoever, neither during nor after the procedure. Her staff and assistants are very helpful, too. They run a friendly and efficient operation. If you need to see an endodontist, go to Orange Blossom. You will be so glad you did!"
Andrea Nelson

"I had a root canal procedure scheduled with Dr. Locher-Claus on July 15, 2013. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted very courteously and treated warmly by the entire staff. Over the years, I have had root canals done in various states and by different doctors but my experience with Orange Blossom Endodontics rates as one of the best ever."
Nathan Pratt

"I had a terrible fear of the dentist. On January 15th 2014 I went for what I expected, was a few X-rays of a painful tooth that needed a root canal. It was 4:00 in the afternoon so I didn't think a root canal would even be possible with the limited time left in the day. Well, 45 minutes later my root canal procedure was finished. Dr. Claus even took 5 minutes before starting to address my dental fears. She made me feel at ease and assured me the procedure would be pain free. Kayla, the dental assistant, was very knowledgeable and did a great job of calming my nerves. She set the tone before the doctor arrived and I feel very lucky to have met her. About a year ago I had a very bad, long drawn out, and painful experience with getting a root canal done by another dentist and I learned the hard way to only have Dr. Claus handle all root canal procedures. It was quick, easy, and YES pain free. She took certain steps, like shielding my mouth with a thin sheet of rubber, only exposing the tooth they were working on so I didn't feel any instruments or have nasty stuff in my mouth and giving me a piece of soft rubber to hold my mouth open that made the procedure seem light years beyond my last root canal. It was also apparent that she has the latest equipment that speeds the procedure along. My last root canal took almost three hours where this one only lasted 45 minutes. Dr Claus is blessed with an excellent medical staff. Everyone from the receptionist to dental assistant were kind, caring, and very informative. The idea of getting a root canal gave me many restless nights and after having a positive experience to reflect on I finally feel as though I'm conquering my dental fears! Thank you guys very much!"
Michael Dolan

"I would like to thank everyone at Orange Blossom Endodontics, for their friendly approach and professionalism . As soon as I arrived my experience was positive from the moment I was checked in until the time I left . Dr Locher Claus and her assistants were top rated. They made sure I was in no pain or discomfort. They spent time with me explaining the procedures . This was important to me. Thanks again , and I would recommend your services."
Carl Bohms

"I have been a patient of Dr Claus and I find her to be an extremely competant and caring individual. If anyone should need her services, I highly recommend you contact her. 
Walter Meier

"I went to Dr. Claus with an emergency. She saw me right away. She and her staff are amazing. So kind and caring. I had broken a tooth after a bad fall. Not only did she remove the pain coming from the root and nerve, but she made me a half of a tooth so I would not be embarrassed to smile! I can't say enough about how thankful I am to her and her staff!"
Abby M.

"I went to my appointment with Orange Blossom Endodontics on 2/4/2013 with a feeling of dread. I had to have a root canal and was very nervous about it and started to become very antsy right away. Seeing how I was the entire staff put me at ease right away. Before I knew it, the procedure was being done and I felt no pain at all. After it was done, I felt like I worried for nothing. There were no complications and the whole event was over before I knew it. I want to thank Dr Locher-Claus and her entire staff for the way they treated me. I would recommend her to anyone who asks me. She is very good at what she does."
Anita Tanner

"I would like to thank everyone at Orange Blossom Endodontics for their caring and professional approach. My experience was very positive right from the beginning! Your office staff responded quickly to a referral I had been given. Dr. Locher-Claus and her assistant were very easy to talk to and they put me at ease right from the start. I appreciated the time that was spent to explain the procedures that were going to be performed, why they were necessary, and the possible outcomes. You allowed me to be a participant in understanding instead of just a patient. You took the time to answer all of my questions and I never felt rushed. That lessened my anxiety and made my entire experience less stressful. I appreciated all of this and the follow-up call to be sure I was feeling A-OK. Thank you all for being so wonderful."
Helen

"I am so pleased with Orange Blossom Endodontics that I must share this with. From the moment you enter their office you feel and experience nothing but professionalism from the entire staff. My first visit was about two years ago when I was suffering excruciating pain and they got me in immediately to deal with the pain. Today I had my third root canal, and like the previous two, it was painless. In my opinion, it is no worse than a routine cleaning in my dentist office. I thank Dr. Claus and her staff for the wonderful work they are doing, and Dr. Claus has my highest recommendation."
Herman C.

"Had root canal today (8/29/12) and, of course, was nervous before. Found out that there was no need - the procedure was COMPLETELY painless. Dr. Maria Locher-Claus and her staff were wonderful. Entire procedure was completed in one visit - not like years ago when you had to come back 3 or 4 times. Don't hesitate to visit Orange Blossom Endodontics......"
Laraine J.

"I have been experiencing intermittent facial pain for nearly 8 months and have been trying to eliminate the possible causes. Dental exams were not able to pinpoint if the problem as dental in nature. A visit to the Sinus and Allergy office found nothing. While contemplating visiting a neurologist, my teeth were cleaned and more x-rays taken. At the same time, the right side of my face became even more sensitive to anything warm or hot. I was referred to Dr. Locher-Claus and in no time at all the problem was identified...she found the tooth that was no longer sensitive to cold, but which reacted to heat. Dr. Locher-Claus suggested a root canal as the lack of sensitivity to cold indicates that the top part of the nerve is dead, and that the intense sensitivity to heat indicates that the infection has continued to the base area of the root...the next area to be affected would be the jaw bone itself. The resulting root canal was conducted in a relaxing, comfortable and caring environment, and I can attest to the fact that the staff is the best that I've ever experienced. I've put a lot of dentist's kids through college, as well as having built extensions to their homes, etc. I highly recommend Orange Blossom Endodontics and Dr. Maria Locher-Claus!!"
Jackie Awtry

"For over five years I have lived with migraines, vertigo, muscle pain, ear aches and a ringing in my ears.  I could hardly open my mouth and I was feeling really bad.  After several visits to different doctors,  I went to my dentist who then reffered me to Dr. Claus.  I called her office and was given an appointment within 2 days.  I arrived for my consultation which I found to be very informative and also educating.  She spent over an hour with me and had a diagnosis that was later confirmed by her sending me for an MRI later that day.  I had TMJ on both sides of my joints.  I would say that within 3 weeks I was feeling as close to normal as I could be and that is something I have not felt in a long time.  I'am now back to hitting golf balls, rejoining my clubs and being able to eat without pain.  I wanted to give Dr. Claus and her team a great big thank you.  I'am now enjoying life again.  Thank you so much!"
Pamela Stoddard  "The Village Of Duval"

"I recently experienced my first root canal procedure.  I was pleasantly surprised how friendly, gentle, and professional you and your staff handled my procedure.  You gave me a thorough explanation of everything that was to, and did take place.  Also your office was very convenient and the surroundings were very nice...Dr. Claus comes from a family with a long line of dedicated dentist.  I feel The Villages area is very lucky to have a doctor of this caliber in our area...Thank you Dr. Claus. 

On a side note, I have a granddaughter graduating from high school this May that has been accepted into the University of Florida and hopes to become a dentist.  Dr. Claus took the time to send my granddaughter a note of encouragement of which I very much appreciated."
Bill King, The Village of Liberty Park

"My name is Dana Hall... 
61 years old...
I have had extensive dental crown work done on my teeth which came out beautifully by my dentist...  However, I have 3 teeth in a row on the lower left that were always hurting, but showed no signs of damage when x-rayed by my dentist... Therefore, he was reluctant to take any action to remedy the situation... A visit to another dentist came to the same conclusion... Meanwhile, these 3 teeth were getting more and more painful each passing day...

 I was then referred by my dentist to Dr. Maria Locher-Claus... She made the time to see me the very day I was referred to her, and after spending 2 1\2 hours talking with her and going through a battery of tests, she was able to determine, that even though x-rays did not show anything significantly wrong, 2 of the 3 teeth in question were in fact bad, and those two, were influencing the third tooth... Root canals followed, and sure enough, her evaluation of the situation was in fact 100% correct...

The care, professionalism, thoughtfulness and attention to detail exercised by Dr. Maria Locher-Claus and her office staff is nothing short of remarkable... She took the time and patience to fully diagnose what was wrong with me and I highly recommend her for any problems related to facial pain."
Dana Hall

"You can imagine my level of discomfort to be in Florida, far away from my favorite endodontist way up in Minnesota, and to know that I needed to have another root canal.  Then add to that, feeling overwhelmed when told that I actually needed two root canals! 

I agreed to go ahead, and after such a good experience with Dr. Claus and her excellent assistants. I even went so far as to take care of the third tooth that showed up on the radiograph as inevitably going to need a root canal.
 
By then I felt like I was part of your family, and will always feel confident that, whenever I am in Florida, I can count on you people to take good care of me.
 
By the way, I never did have any pain after my first appointment.  All your work with me has produced excellent results.
 
I wish you all the best in your office in The Villages.  Thank you for bringing your expertise to us."
