I have had my fair share of dental challenges over the years, but I have had incredible luck finding Dr. Reza Hamid. Since 2017, I have trusted him with several root canals and I would not go anywhere else. The entire experience at Endocare is top-notch. The office is exceptionally clean, modern, and professional. The front-of-house team runs a very efficient operation; I am always seen on time and never feel rushed. Dr. Hamid himself is fantastic. He is friendly, upbeat, and takes the time to walk me through every step of the process to ensure I am comfortable and 100% satisfied. If you are looking for a specialist who combines high-level expertise with a great bedside manner, I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. read more

I went to the Endo Care in Pleasanton. I couldn't find the Pleasanton location so writing the review here. Dr. Rezai was SUPER! - and so was his team at the Pleasanton location. This was my first root canal and hopefully my last. I was soooo dreading going into this appt but it was actually very uneventful and easier than previous experiences getting a filling. I am a mom and oddly, it was relaxing to sit in the chair and get work done. I guess you can consider this a form of 'self-care' and me-time. :-D. read more

Yes, I know... 5 stars for a Dentist ? Well, if you need a root canal, you want the best. He and his staff have great chairside manners... very soothing and friendly. I worked in the dental field so I know what to look for and what to avoid. Evelyn at the Front Office was so nice and was accomodating to my emergecy needs. Melanie, the Assistant, was so sweet and knew exactly what to do. Then, I met Dr Rezai. He was very calm and sweet and reassuring. He got the job done and I was on my way ( I was an emergency so I waited a little longer and I arrived late due to traffic and just getting there from Concord. ) Great job, everyone ! Thank You !! read more

Dr ALI is the awesome endodontist I have ever been too. I love all the offices, and the staff is caring and compassionate. He is always asking "can you feel any pain" I have been seeing him for over five years and would never think of going anywhere else. The Dr. And his staff are so caring they even call you that night or the next day to make sure how your doing. Love that Dr.'s office. read more

I wish I had the option to give more than 5 stars. I had a serious root canal problem in one of my tooth that would have most likely lead to tooth extraction. I was referred to Endocare by Dr Ali Mola, a great dentist whom I found also on Yelp. Dr Yasaman Ravandoust looked into the situation and decided that a surgery (Apicoectomy) will resolve my issue. Dr Rezai did the surgery and even though it was a major treatment, I did not experience any pain during and after the procedure. I was contacted several times by these guys after the surgery and was given directions. Can't say how happy I am with their service. Highly recommended. read more

This review is for the Oakland location. I had a root canal done here. During the process they showed signs of transphobia. I was misgendered multiple times, then during the dental assistant "apology" she placed HER HAND ON MY LEFT BOOB. I wasn't able to say anything because I had metal drills going in my mouth. But I felt super uncomfortable and honestly sexually harassed. After her "apology", she finally removed her hand. However, the misgendering didn't stop. It got worst in fact. So much so, that the dentist had to correct her MULTIPLE TIMES. As for the billing, they reassured me several times that I was going to be covered and that I wouldn't have to pay anymore( I already paid $560).Yet I received another bill in the mail a few days later, with more misgendering and a sad attempt to collect $30. #shadybusinesstactics Recap? If your trans, don't go here!!! They'll bully you into giving them more money. Actually, this warning goes for anyone.. read more

I really can't recommend Dr. Dadvand highly enough. I have had horrible experience with dentists and root canals, including a root canal where I was not properly numbed and began to feel everything happening in the middle of the procedure. My body literally has a reaction whenever I enter the dentist's office, and I have held onto a lot of shame for feeling my issues with my teeth were completely my fault. When I had my very first appointment with her--just to check out if I needed to have a previous root canal I got in another state redone--I began crying in the chair--which is usually how It goes. She stopped immediately, sat me up, got me tissue and asked me what was going on. She was genuinely concerned and listened and provided information that helped me see a lot of my issues with my teeth are actually genetic. She and her staff supported me in scheduling an appointment, helped me figure out finances, figure out which location would be best for me, and made recommendations regarding what type of anesthesia would be most appropriate for me. I ended up in the Orinda office on the days of the procedures; her staff were wonderful and welcoming (I wish I could remember names but was anxious!) and the office was quiet and calm. She checked in with me before to see how I was doing and followed up after both times to make sure I was recovering ok. I had no pain during the procedure and no longer have any trouble with that tooth. I also was able to attend my next dentist and orthodontist appointments without crying, which is a first for me in literally almost a decade. I am so thankful I had my root canal done here, and am even more thankful I no longer feel such shame about my dental issues. Thank you Dr. Dadvand and all the wonderful staff who supported me through what I was sure was gonna be a another traumatic time at the dentist --you all made it reparative and easy! read more

One of the most terrific experience I've ever had a few years ago with a dentist in my life. It not only affects my health but also the loss of a lot of money. When my boss contacted the office to talk and see if Dr Ali Rezai give me some my money back for me to continue treatment with another dentist, Dr Ali Rezai's lawyer sent a letter saying that he would sue my boss if he calls again and if he puts something in yelp. I still have a problem with the tooth that Dr Rezai did surgery on. I consulted several specialists and will inform me that a major failure has been made, not to mention the size of the scar I have on my gums. Not to mention that some of his staff from Alameda are rude and think they are better than everyone else. I can write in detail the miserable experience I had, not worth it, because I believe in karma. read more

Came to the clinic with a horrible pain in one of my teeth and I have been told I need a root canal, something I was very (very) scared of. Dr. Sahar Dadvand was my treating Endodontist, and the whole thing was over befor I even noticed! She was super professional through the whole treatment and made sure to check how I am feeling and keep me in the loop all the time. She was very communicative and made me feel like I'm in good hands. The pain (and my fear from root canals) is absolutely gone and I am back to normal. Thank you Dr. Sahar Dadvand! read more

I'm so thankful for Dr. Rezai and his awesome assistant Margit. Redoing a root canal is extremely difficult! With the office technology and expertise it was a great experience. I definitely will recommend his office to all of my family and friends. Dr. Rezai has a wealth of knowledge and Margrit complimented his skills perfectly. The front office gal, Evelyn was quick and accommodating. Exactly what you need when your in so much tooth pain! They really care about their patients and the office manager, Pena also made sure that I was taken care of promptly. I'm grateful that my dentist, Dr. Huang and Soriano, at Lake Merritt Dental referred me! Thank you all! read more

This review is for billing and patient communications. I recently was referred to EndoSpecialists by the dentist across the hall. I went to them as a second opinion for a consultation I had with another endospecialist in the area. Not only did they run a scan that cost $200 out of pocket to come to the same conclusion that the other specialist came to, but the visit cost an additional $175 after the fact, despite the requested pre-visit estimate. Overall I feel an eroded trust and transparency around the necessity of the procedure, as well as estimation and business management practices. I certainly would not have taken the second opinion had I known it would cost me an unnecessary $375 out of pocket, and I feel that EndoSpecialists did not adequately handle the communications with insurance as well as to the patient. read more

My thanks to Dr. Rezai & staff for a first-class experience during my recent dental procedure. Highest recommendation! Thank you!

I had a great experience! I wish I could have more root canals so that I could go back and visit these delightful people. Thank you for the service! read more

The man has neither a shred of decency nor an ounce of talent. In February of 2020 he did a root canal in such a hurry, you'd of thought that he was late catching a bus. After 4 months of constant pain and infection, I paid a real dentist in Los Angeles to have it pulled. The worst part was that he refused to share any information to a dentist I saw in Las Vegas in March to try and fix the problem. And his passive aggressive office manager Amy, on Sutter St in San Francisco was about as rude and unprofessional as anyone with an actual job can be. I've never written a bad review in my life, but I feel compelled to get the truth out there. read more

Was referred to Endo Care for a root canal by my general dentist yesterday... Likes: Margit - The Dental Assistant was AMAZING - she is Endo Care's secret weapon...we began talking and she immediately made me feel comfortable as she prepped me for my root canal. Dr. Daryl Dudum made me feel equally comfortable...he was professional yet easy to talk to and very patient...he explained everything he was doing and gave me the signal to use if I was feeling any pain. DISLIKES: The (2) receptionists at the front desk: Disingenuous & condescending Lisa and ?... I did not like them at all,...you DON"T ask a prospective patient upon their arrival "are you so and so" she SHOULD have said "Hi how may I help you" the former gives the impression that there had been some discussion about you in advance of your arrival. One of the forms I completed asked about how I would pay, I checked credit card, however when I was in the endodontist chair Lisa came back and said your Delta Dental has maxed out, and asked again how I would pay??? I once again said credit card, this made me feel very uncomfortable. After my root canal was complete I returned to the front desk and presented my American Express card, Lisa took my card and asked "do you want to pay half today" my response "no I will pay in full" and before swiping my credit card whispered something (out of ear shot) to the other receptionist. She returned to me with that fake smile again had me sign the credit card slip and I was on my way....UUCH!!!!! 5 stars back of the house + 1 star front of house = 3 stars read more

Professional, communicative and clean. This office takes the pain out of root canals! If you have to have work done on your mouth this is the place to go. Parking is made easy too! read more

Lisa is a jewel, a definite breath of fresh air! She was sweet as can be, concerned with my situation, and ready with all the answers to my many questions. She booked me a same-day appointment with Dr. Shuster after being referred to Dr. Rezai's office by a general practitioner. Dr. Vladimir Shuster is amazing. He is warm and friendly and takes the time to explain things in detail and answer all questions as though a stupid one had never been asked. He has a great education from Berkeley and Harvard and resident training at UCLA with diplomas and accolades assuringly decorating the walls. The facility is beautiful. A friend of mine is a dentist in the office downstairs and though their facility is decent, Dr. Rezai's suite puts it to shame. I really loved the digital X-rays where the doctor could show me my teeth and explain visually the things he was saying. Great staff, great doctor, great facility-- not a single complaint to be voiced. Without even the slightest of reservations, I highly recommend Dr. Shuster! read more

Dr. Ari saved my life. Maybe for reals, because tooth stuff can get gnarly. I had chipped a tooth, oh, ages ago, on a twist-top bottle of Crystal Geyser. Yes, it is true. No matter how harried you are, how full your arms are, or how excited you are about getting at your sparkly wonderjuice, please: do not attempt to open the bottle with your mouth. Bad things happen, like one of your molars makes a protesting shriek and crumbles in your mouth. Being the penniless bohemian that you are, you will wait almost a year before having this little problem investigated. You will finally book an appointment with a dentist near your place of employ, and at eight o'clock in the morning they will tell you that you need an emergency root canal. You will cry and there will be much wringing of hands and anticipation of starving due to expensive dental bills. Then you will take the bus to the office of Dr. Ari Allen Rezai, to whom you have been referred, and he will rock your world. Seriously. His assistants are brilliant and kind and intriguing. I discussed birdwatching and philosophy and my wacky lifestyle with one of them, and she was totally supportive and rad. Dr. Ari told me that he thought my name was beautiful, and had always struck him as gorgeously sad. My whole root canal experience was actually shockingly pleasant. I think they might be by referral only, but I just had to share the love. If there is any way you can get Dr. Ari, make it so. read more

A Review in Poem Format, For Only the Best Endocare Out There Got there at tooth hurty My roots were really dirty It had a zombie nerve that wouldn't quit The doctor Nick he numbed me Then with needles in my gum he Soothed the pain with his gentle instrument kit I was in the combat zone I was suffering all alone When a kernel of popcorn my molar did destroy I waited for care so long, Trying to just be strong Then along came just the care I needed Sweet Lisa, Angelica, Marget, Nice German Lady and Nick With genuine concern they took me in and healed my mouth so sick Remembered forever they will be As miracle workers in the field of dentistry For they are the kindest, coolest, professionals you could pick. I for one will swear to this If I ever follow my bliss And find myself on some distant journey somewhere Should my teeth develop some pain I will immediately board a plane And go flying home to the esteemed, elite - Endocare! Sincerely Yours For All My Endocare Needs For As Long As My Teeth and Mouth Shall Endure, Miss K.B. the t.v.show girl :) read more

The staff clearly communicated the issue with my tooth and what they were going to do. They were professional, fast and effective. They are as good an office as I've seen. read more

The team at EndoCare were both professional and gracious! My dentist referred me to them right away for a emergency root canal....on a tooth that had previously had a root canal preformed years ago! When I say that I was in PAIN....I could barely open my mouth to say who I was when I arrived to EndoCare. Thank God for angels on earth!! Deb the receptionist, know who I was the moment I walked in...she was so kind and gentle. But she was just one of many angels I would meet on this day. Dr. Sahar Dadvand came to greet me as I sat in the chair with tears rolling down my face. She advised me that I was going to be just fine. Dr. Sahar Dadvand was unbelievably patient. Never did she rush through my appointment. After my initial visit, she text me the very next morning to see how I was feeling. And she made sure to make me, the patient, her priority. Most of all, I was treated like family! EndoCare exceeded my expectations! I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but I can tell you that I was given more than I could have imagined! If you or a loved one are in need of a root canal. Let the specialist of EndoCare take care of you! I guarantee you will not be disappointed! read more

I tell you, I'm as surprised as anyone to be writing a 5-star for (of all things) a root canal! I've had some really subpar experiences with a few dentists in the Oakland area this past year, so I was extremely nervous and very weary of dental professionals and procedures. But, after work from another dentist, my tooth went from ok, to painful, to unbearably painful to (sadly) dead in a matter of a few months. My only options were extraction or root canal - and I was on the fence until I sat down in Dr. Yasaman Ravandoust's chair. I reluctantly shared all of my concerns about having a root canal including concerns that it could result in major health issues in other parts of my body later on down the road. Dr. Ravandoust listened intently and answered each of my concerns thoughtfully and thoroughly. She really put me at ease. Dr. Ravandoust was really awesome! I ended up having two visits. Each one was comfortable and quick (about 45 min each). I got to choose my own Pandora station and Dr. Ravandoust loved it so much, she now keeps it in her rotation! (The station is Jazzanova, btw). :) Everyone in the office is polite and professional from Evelyn in the front office to Margit, the Dental Assistant. Something I really appreciate in a dental office receptionist, besides a friendly demeanor, is that they go over your treatment plan and bill in detail. Evelyn did that, and everyone is just great at their jobs. There is a reason this place gets so many 5-star reviews. They are the truth! I hope I never have to see them again, but if I do - I will run (not walk) back to this office and Dr. Ravandoust... I only wish I could find a general dentist as awesome (inbox me if you have one!) read more

Dr Vlad Shuster. Root canal genius! I hate going to dentist. My no.11 was broken, with inflamation on previous treated rooth canal. What happend? No pain!! Not even during getting my anestetics...45 min later and I had my rooth canal re-done! And even I had choice of music (I took option to listen what my Dr likes, kinda wanted to keep him in a good mood:)) and that was Miles Davis. Nurse and reception great, place very clean and all brand new. And, important, Dr Shuster had his degree from Harvard Dental School and is part-time teacher at Harvard Dental School. Highly recommended!! read more

I had very very bad pain on my lower tooth it needed a root canal. Dr rezai was very nice, he said no worry and he did his magic I was very relax when he did a root canal I did not feel any pain when he was working on my tooth. He is a KING OF ROOT CANAL. THANK YOU Dr. Rezai read more

I'm a bit dentist phobic and had put off going to the dentist for far too long. I was fairly certain that I needed a root canal and was in serious pain. I randomly picked Dr. Rezai from the list of in-network providers from my insurance (this lack of having a personal referal was part of what was slowing me down). I was really scared about the process but the experience was great. I did not have a referal from a dentist but I called them in the morning and as my symptoms signalled a pretty serious infection they fit me in that same day. First of all the staff and assistants were all very nice and clearly intelligent and great at what they do. Dr. Rezai has a very nice manner and made me feel at ease. He discussed my options and prognosis and I really felt like I was in good hands. As for the root canal, it was a breeze! With just local anestetic I really didn't feel a thing. Really, no worse than a filling. I did have some serious pain later when the novocaine (?) wore off but it certainly was no worse than before the procedure and only lasted a few hours. Now, the next day, it is just a little tender. I do have to go back to for the second half of the root canal next week but I'm not at all worried! I highly recommend Dr. Rezai and his staff if you are unfortunate enough to need a root canal. read more

I am no longer afraid of the dentist. I REALLY like Dr. Vlad Shuster. My regular (by regular, i mean the first dentist I visited in like umm, 10 years) referred me over to him for an emergency root canal... and I really needed it. My filling had crumbled out of my #12 tooth a few weeks before and the pain had been increasing... to the point where I thought my tooth was in labor, it was so bad. I wasn't sleeping, drinking water sent shocks of pain through my head, I could barely function. The only thing that kept me going was my fear of the dentist. I got a good recommendation for a general dentist, so I went in.. very soon after seeing my x-rays they were on the phone getting me in to see Dr. Shuster. This was at noon, they were able to take me at 5. I resigned myself to crying in the parking lot until 5 came around when they called me and said they had heard I was in pain, come in, they'll at least get me numbed right away. Within ten minutes of being there, they had me numb (oh, Dr. Shuster, you are a genius. Yours was the first Novocaine injection that I could not feel...your little "shake the cheek" trick, which I use giving MY patients injections -I'm a veterinary nurse- worked so well! Thank you!) and Lisa (I think it was Lisa) got my insurance all worked out. I was so relieved I took a little nap waiting for my root canal. Unheard of! A nap in the dentist office? Letting my guard down? Michelle (?) was super nice, and made me very comfortable while prepping me. Dr. Shuster had to give me a few more injections of the ol 'caine to get the job done, but for the first time, I was listened to.. instead of being told "it's just the vibration" umm, I know what vibrations feel like and I know what pain feels like. I'm so glad he listened. And I got to listen to the James Brown station on Pandora. I still wonder why I chose James Brown for dental work. I am finally over my fear of the dentist, which is great, since I need 2 more root canals!! I'm not worried about at all.. because it won't hurt. In fact, I'm looking forward to it! I'll even be sending my fiance to them when he finally gets around to dealing with his horrible teeth... I am so glad that I found such a great professional to go see... read more

I saw Dr. Mark Nortan or Mortan, I cant remember his last name. I saw him for a root canal from an extreme toothache. He was AWESOME!!! and so was the staff there. I never felt so much at ease (normally all dentists make me nervous and tense). He was extremely thorough with everything he was doing and very gentle, not to mention he is very very HANDSOME... so that helped a lot, esp. with taking your mind off of of what was happening to my tooth. =) The staff are extremely nice. I showed up 10 mins before 8 am and the front desk receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. Most ppl are grumpy and have a little 'tude when you walk into a dr.'s office or anywhere. The dental assistant was talkative and friendly, as well. I enjoyed our conversation before it was time to go "under." Anyway- I felt no pain and it felt like it took him 30 mins to do a root canal, when in reality it was like an hr or so. I recommend him and this place to everyone!!!!!! read more

At my last check-up, my dentist informed me that one tooth with a deep filling would need a root canal in the near future. I delayed. A few months later, I happened to run my tongue on my gumline where it touches in the inside of my lip, and found a lump there, it was infected and the tooth was dying. I had to schedule an ASAP root canal with Dr. Rezai. The procedure was painless. Dr. Rezai and all of his staff were genuinely helpful, friendly, and informative when I had questions. Dr. Rezai himself explained his findings and the process he was going to take to perform the root canal. We discussed other things of personal interest, as well, but when it came down to the procedure it was quick and painless. It took under an hour, and he told me that due to the infection he was placing medication within the now-emptied area of my tooth, sealing it, and allowing the area to heal until completing the procedure with the actual filling material that is placed where the pulp was. In my particular case this was included in the full procedure (I.E., the cost did not change). Already by the next day the lump was less than half the size it was before I got the root canal. The day after, it was gone completely. I will be back in another week to undergo the final part of the process. There was no question throughout the entire appointment as to what was going on, how much it would cost, and next steps, and that is exactly how it should be with a quality health professional. Highly recommended! read more

I was thrilled with the work performed with this office and initially gave them 5 stars because their dentistry was superb! I wish I could say the same for their billing/office management which is totally sub-par. When I went to this office for a procedure, I wanted to know exactly what the procedure would cost and asked them to run my insurance beforehand so that I would know prior to making the decision, what the procedure would cost me. I was quoted between $315-345 for a post and told that the amount was only an estimate and could be either of those. That's a pretty small difference and totally acceptable, so I went ahead with the procedure and was very happy. Until a month later when I got a bill for an additional $218 that they now said the insurance wouldn't cover over the $325 already paid. But I had asked for a pre-authorization prior to the procedure!!! What more could I have done to protect myself from predatory billing practices! And now the procedure is already complete so it's not like I can give it back, or refuse to pay! This is always my biggest fear when it comes to dentist offices and unfortunately, I am losing access to a phenomenal endodontist in Dr Yassi, because of billing practices. Office manager Pina tried to say there was nothing Office could have done to prevent this since the insurance came up short...but I think a pre-auth done right, would have prevented this surprise billing. Now they threaten, if I ever come back, they will notate my account to get pre-auth first....when in fact that is exactly what I had requested they do in the first place!! I hope I won't need another procedure, but like I said Dr. Yassi's skills are extraordinary....it's the billing I'm afraid of. And maybe you should all ask for pre-auth's if cost is at all an issue to you, since their "estimates" are so completely off. My final cost almost doubled. $325 to $543. And this after specifically asking for a pre-authorization, which could not have been done right. read more

Amazing service!!!! Amazing team!!!!! world class !!!! I highly recommend Dr.Rezai he is the VERY BEST what a wonderful person who really cares about what he's doing , I would recommend his office to who ever I know that needs this type of care. read more

I had a very bad experience with Dr.Rezai. I went in with a complaint about a pain in the lower left side and ended up having two root canals on the upper left one next to the other. The teeth became terribly wobbly and to this day I am afraid to put any pressure on them because they may brake. The tooth on the lower left ended up having a root canal three grueling one hour sessions of drilling. Recently the teeth on each side of the root canal on the bottom left have suffered, one completely broke off and the other has a fractured crown. Not a very good situation and a great expense. read more

I cracked a tooth and was dreading the news I'd receive from EndoCare. (Please not a root canal!) (I needed a root canal.) Fortunately I received excellent, prompt care from Dr. Dadvand. She took great care of me, checked in frequently, and made the process- over two visits- relatively painless. A sore jaw and itchy gums, but no real pain. A Christmas miracle! The entire staff was wonderful. I'd highly recommend this place. read more

My first Thanks goes to the YELPERS..yet again....You did not steer me wrong... I went to EndoCare based on your 5 Star recommendation for a much needed root canal. I was in serious pain and they took me in right away. Upon my arrival, the office was clean and the person at the front desk was pleasant. I had no idea what to expect or how awful this experience was going to be but I must say it was truly wonderful. The front desk staff was really nice and welcoming. Lisa was awesome and kind. But the STAR of the office had to be Margit. From my first meeting and to my return visit Margit was kind, funny and super sweet. She felt like an old friend and made me forget I was there for a root canal. She is a TRUE PROFESSIONAL. Overall This is by far the best possible unpleasant experience you can have. As an additional bonus, Dr. Morton is personable, gentle and professional. He paid attention to simple things making sure I understood at every turn what he was going to do. He kept me informed as to what was being done throughout the procedure and it didn't hurt at all. Before I knew it, it was over and I felt fine immediately after. I honestly wish this could be my regular dentist...it was that good. So, If you have to get a root canal, this is the place to get it! read more

Who would have thought the words "pleasant" and "root canal" could be used in the same sentence? Well maybe not, but Dr Rezai came close to making it happen. He and his staff in Alameda made it as pleasant an experience as possible. read more

I had a great experience at Endo Care. I had a root canal done by Dr. Ravandoust today. It went really fast and smoothly. And while obviously a root canal is not a fun experience, they made me as comfortable as possible and it didn't hurt. The doctor was super nice and explained everything. The whole staff was helpful. The price seemed fair. Overall it went so much easier and better than I had anticipated. I would give them 10 stars if I could. read more

Amazing experience!!! The whole staff is great. Now usually I am terrified of dental work but these awesome people made it a piece of cake!!! If I ever need more work, I will certainly be back here!!! Thank you all so much for taking such great care of me! GiGi you are awesome! read more

I believe that everyone who visits Dr. Rezai doesn't know how to write a review on yelp. How unfortunate to see no reviews on this Dr! Well, I'm happy to be the first. This office is truly amazing! First off, this is the cleanest office you will ever see. They must have cleaners in there the whole time that office is closed. It is beautiful! Lisa who manages this office is so smart and so knowledgeable! She will completely take care of you while informing you everything you need to know about your entire visit. She carries the gift of being so professional yet you can always count on her to really care about you. This will be my second root canal with Dr. Rezai and I haven't felt this comfortable with any Dr. than I feel with him. It's kind of a bitter sweet visit as I HATE the procedure, but LOVE this Dr! He is so sweet, so perfect! If anyone has the true gift of doing oral surgery, he's got it! All of my root canals will be done by Dr. Rezai as long as he is in practice! I go in for my next root canal this Friday and I know that I will be taken care of with the best Doctor! I wish there were an easier way to spread the word. I hope this helps. Need a root canal? GO TO DR. REZAI! read more

"About as fun as a root canal!" Those words echoed in my head after my regular dentist told me I needed to see a specialist for a root canal. I headed down there this morning, braced for a miserable experience. When I got to the Oakland office, there was reserved parking. Good start. I went into the office and the very personable staff greeted me warmly. Everything was relaxed. Dr. Rezai is a good guy who exudes competence. His equipment was state of the art, from the all electronic XRay machine to the high tech microscope he used during the root canal. He asked what kind of music I like and "tuned" Pandora to play it during the procedure. He's one of those professionals who respect their patients/clients and communicates clearly about everything that is going on. All of this surrounds it, but the main event was the procedure itself. Belying my trepidation, the procedure, from the novacaine to the end of the procedure was easy, painless and (dare I say it) pleasant. In a meeting at work shortly after the procedure, my collegues asked how it went, and I told them "that was the BEST root canal ever." Truth be told, it was less stressful than a cleaning. While I hope you never need a root canal, if you do, I unequivocally recommend Dr Rezai. read more

Dr. Dadvand and her assistant are awesome health care providers. I had to have a root canal performed and the procedure was flawless. I had zero pain and discomfort during the operation and during recovery. The negative things you hear about root canals are false and are hyped up. Dr. Dadvand and her assistant made certain I was comfortable during the whole procedure and checked on me during the post recovery phrase. I highly recommend Dr. Dadvand and her assistant. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Sahar Dadvand to anyone who needs a root canal. She performed a painless procedure and minimal to no discomfort is felt during recovery. Dr. Dadvand is thorough in her work and I truly appreciated her follow-up informative text after the procedure. Her staff is equally amazing and attentive to your dental needs. She genuinely cares for your dental well-being and I will be returning to her for my second root canal. read more
