I went in with pretty severe tooth pain and…read morewas honestly pretty nervous, but everything was handled quickly, professionally, and with a lot of care. The procedure was smooth and much faster than I expected--done in under an hour--and Dr. Safa made sure I was comfortable the entire time. He explained everything clearly, which really helped ease my nerves. What really stood out was his attention to detail. He even caught an issue with an older root canal from years ago that I had no idea about, which could have turned into a bigger problem down the road. Overall, I'm very grateful for the care I received. If you're dealing with dental pain or need specialized treatment, I highly recommend Dr. Safa.

My dentist recommended going to get consultation at Pasadena Endodontix. I read some negative reviews on Yelp and Google but my experience with Dr. Safa was nothing but professionalism and expert care and treatment. I would give more stars if Yelp allowed it. I only felt a tiny bit of discomfort at the initial injection but after that, no pain since. I've had other root canals at other dentist offices a long time ago and they took over an hour to finish and it was painful. I would recommend my family and friends to see Dr. Safa if they need an Endodontist. I hope I don't need another root canal, but if I do, I'm happy to come back here. Is it a bit pricey? Yes, but in my humble opinion, you're paying for expertise and quality care. My tooth is pain free, my blister is gone, and I can't believe I tolerated the discomfort and occasional pain related to the condition of my tooth for as long as I did before Dr. Safa treated it. The office staff and assistants are also top notch and professional. Thank you Pasadena Endodontix!

For 5 years we were not able to find a dentist to agree to treat his infected root canals without a general anesthesia.

The treatment was very fast and both teeth were done in 1h. We are out of words and very relieved. My son was so quiet , well instructed , led with love and care and had no pain. It was literally one of the easiest procedures he ever had! Dr. Paras is incredibly gifted and we are in awe of his super professional and emotional expertise! I would give 10 stars if we could.

Upon walking in to the office, I was welcomed by a nice staff person who instructed me to fill out some paperwork. I was then taken to a room for the consultation. Dr. Yu advised to have a root canal based on his evaluation. I was then moved to another room for the actual procedure after having anesthesia injections into my mouth. After some prep work done by his very comforting staff, it was time for the games to begin! I appreciated how his staff guided me through the prep work and explained what they were doing. It honestly feels really weird to have your mouth wide open while having strange objects being placed inside. During the procedure, I could see they were passing instruments back/forth. There were weird sounds, noises and smells. I never felt uncomfortable as they always checked in to see if I was doing OK. Before I knew it, the procedure was over and Dr. Yu went over recovery expectations and the like. Overall, it was a very efficient and comfortable process. Hopefully I won't need to return anytime soon but it's nice to know that this office is available in the local area.

He answered all my questions and I just felt so much peace of mind getting his professional opinion on a root canal. The procedure itself was painless and I can tell you I was nervous about the whole experience.

Yesterday, I had an amazing experience while getting my teeth pulled. Dr. Kalasho did lovingly "scold" me, but it came from a place of genuine care and concern. I truly felt like a VIP--watching Netflix with a weighted blanket, under-eye patches, and even provided reading glasses so I could relax comfortably while enjoying my movie. This morning, I woke up with no pain, just some expected soreness in my jaw, but no discomfort in the treated area. I was even able to go to work without any issues. A huge thank you to Misha, Dr. Kalasho, and the entire team for checking in on me, making sure I was comfortable, offering water, and ensuring I didn't doze off. Your care and kindness mean so much!

I had no problems with the work done, or at least I though so.. In the spring of 2025, I went for a checkup, and Dr Kalasho was on leave and her replacement told me I developed another 2 cavities... just a few months after the original cavity was fixed. I couldnt believe my ears and I agreed to fix it. However, they had just closed the Hollywood office, and the closest location would have then been in Beverly Hills and I had no interest in visiting not even once. And I didnt have time to look for a new denist in the area. Fast forward to the spring 2026, I went to 2 different reputable denists in the area and they both said I had no cavity in that tooth.. I was in awe. Questions came flashing back.. Why every time did I have to sign the waiver 10x longer and more specific than at other denist's I have gone to? Why I was charged 5k for a crown that another denist said did not have that u-shape that teeth have to block most of the food in between the teeth? Was it as bad as I was made to believe? I don't know. But my suspicious makes sense. The office and the equipmennt that looked better than I have seen in Hollywood movies. Friendly chit-chat WITH LITERALLY EVERYONE in the office. Talking about families, sharing personal stories, laughing together. And then the friendly by the way reminder.. Do you want to prepay? Let's take care of this bill right away etc etc. At the end of the day, however, I couldnt shake the feeling how forced the interactions appeared. Too good to be true, fake. Well.. now, I know for sure.

Her expertise is unmatched, her bedside manner is best described as unbelievably patient-centered, understanding, and collaborative. She has made a big difference in undoing several years of poor dental health and prior botched root canals. Her pricing is fair for the product you are getting, and she has the most up-to-date state of the art facilities at her offices. I believe she prides herself on setting an industry standard and I know she attends and speaks at conferences to advise others in her field. I have watched her offices and patient base grow, and we all share the same comfort in knowing that we are treated with the utmost respect by her kind, energetic, enthusiastic, caring, and experienced staff that keep the offices running in an efficient and comfortable manner. I cannot recommend her enough. The staff are so quick about insurance and are informed about billing to ensure your claims are placed quickly and correctly. They've worked together for years and it seems like everyone there are truly happy to be working there. It is truly comforting to work somewhere that understands the intimate relationship between an endodontist and the patient - because her pain management is unmatched in what otherwise is a very painful procedure in my experience. She makes sure you are comfortable, prepared, aware of your treatment, and that you have a treatment plan with her that you have approved of and understand. Please give her a chance, you won't regret it and we are very lucky to have her! I go to the Glendale office, i've also attended the Santa Clarita office and have had great results.
