The greatest doctor (if you like root canals). Very professional, gentle and perfect "bed dude manner!"

Best dental visits experience ever! Designated free parking spots downstairs, friendly staff, gentle-mannered doctor - Dr. Bani really cares and he is the best! read more

I saw Dr. Bani in 2014 for a tooth resorption treatment consultation. He was so patient, thorough, and kind! I had another resorption in 2026 and went right back w/out a thought. Still a wonderful, honest guy. Staff is good people as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I've had a couple of root canals here and Dr. Bani is always very gentle. I have zero pain afterwards. His office is run very well. Friendly staff, professional and always on time. Would highly recommend if you need a root canal. You'll get a very kind staff that will make you feel comfortable. read more

Nobody ever wants to get a root canal, but if you ever have to, Dr. Bani is your man! Dr. Bani finished my root canal today. As nervous as I was, his staff, K.B. and Claudia, were there to assure me that I was in good hands. Dr. Bani's supportive staff helps when nerves get to the best of us. Dr. Bani's gentle hands and kind nature helped me through with what I imagined would be a difficult appointment. I know that he did all he could to save a tooth that many others felt there was no hope. I couldn't be more thankful. If you ever have the need to see an endodontist, please seek out Dr. Bani in Toluca Lake---you'll be glad you did! read more

Dr Bani is awesome. Been seeing him for years. Referred by my dentist, Dr Firestone many many years ago I found him to be really understanding, soothing, helpful and fixes the problem. If you have an issue with a tooth, he can work magic. The best. read more

So, I can honestly say, I was terrified to start this procedure... root canal, 2 visits... YIKES! BUT... what a waste of nervous energy! The staff at Dr. Bani's is fabulous, friendly and comforting, and Dr. Bani himself is terrific! The office is clean and tidy. AND... This procedure was TOTALLY painless! I didn't think that was possible with dental treatments. From the initial numbing to the actual process... I was very comfortable and pain free. Even hours after leaving! I would highly recommend Dr. Bani as your endodontist. NO one WANTS a root canal, but if you have to have one.. Look no further. This is the one to choose. read more

Dr. Bani and his team are AMAZING! This is coming from someone terrified and who has super high anxiety about dental procedures. I have had 2 root canals with them (one needed two visits) and can honestly say it was his gentle bedside manner and the professionalism and kindness of his team that made all the difference. (Valium helps too!) But Dr. Bani has a very calm and kind nature, patient, knows his stuff, and has a great way of doing the Novocain so its minimally painful. When I first visited him on referral from my dentist b/c I had 2 concerning teeth, he did his research and due diligence to contact my dentists from way back when to assess previous photos of problem areas and to make 100% sure the root canals were absolutely necessary. His staff Claudia - so very sweet and helpful, and KB - kind, reassuring, was able to accommodate my ever changing schedule. I honestly hope I never have to go back (lol) but they are the team to go to, hands down! read more

I've been coming to Dr. Bani for nearly 30 years. He is the GREATEST! He never hurts you, and he's so caring and thorough. I hope he never retires!. read more

I was referred to Dr Bani by my dentist to see if he can save my tooth by redoing a root canal that was done 15 years ago. Sure enough Dr Bani saved my tooth. The whole process was painless, he took his time explaining what he would be doing step by step from numbing in stages to taking care of the tooth at home . He is so patient and caring. Makes you feel comfortable right away. He even called me few hours later to make sure I'm doing ok and have no pain. How amazing is that !!!!!! The office is clean, I mean spotlessssss and well taken care of. His staff is amazing, they are friendly and professional . They treat you with respect and make sure you feel comfortable and safe. I had a wonderful experience with everyone that I was in contact with. Overall I highly recommend Dr Bani if you ever need a root canal done and probably you do right now since you are reading the reviews. ... but go ahead give them a call and book that appointment. Don't wait any longer. Your pain free root canal is a phone call away. Thank you Dr Bani for being so amazing. ... read more

He's the best there is! Dr Bani has treated me successfully a couple of times now. He's as skilled and gentle as they come read more

The BEST Endodontist I have used! He is so informative, understanding, and skilled, that I would not go to another, now. No one looks forward to having a Root Canal worked on... but Dr. "Bani" was SO good... "I will be back" - Thank You Dr. Bani :) - Vicki Sz read more

Dr Bani is exceptional! I intiially thought I was going to have to have 2 teeth removed and replaced with implants but Dr. Bani methodically treated and successfully saved both teeth. He always took the time to be thorough. I very highly recommend Dr. Bani along with his team in the office. He is the best Endodontist I have ever experienced! read more

Dr. Bani is the greatest. No one wants to go to the dentist but he makes that statement an exception. A recent root canal treatment reminded me how knowledgeable, informative, thorough and friendly a dentist can be. My first appointment was ten years ago and walking into his office recently reminded me of why I was so happy with the experience then. The office staff was great in finding an opening and Dr. Bani did his usual wonderful work. I'm not looking forward to another root canal session but you get the point. He is the Endodontist Extraordinaire. read more

Wow, Dr. Bani is GREAT. He educates his patients and then describes the treatment. I NEVER felt any pain or anything else during my procedures. He is the best DDS I have ever had. If you live in or around Los Angeles you should come here, you won't regret it, Great Dentist, great and caring people. read more

As you can see I have only posted a few times on Yelp. Dr Bani is hands down the greatest Doctor I have ever visited. He is such a pro, so gentle and so educated in his craft. The man sincerely cares about his patients. I had severe tooth pain on a Sunday. I called him and he made room for me the very next day. Keep in mind he is booked 3 months in advance!!! I felt nothing, not even the needle prick from the Novocain. I had zero pain during and after. Then my phone rings just now at 7pm at night and it was him asking me if everything was ok. So so very impressive I had to tell everyone!!!! Danny Scott read more

Clearly Dr. Shahriyar is an expert in his field. Took the time to review X-rays and chart. Took the time to discuss all of the nuances. Performed valid and proper tests to assess the pain and source. Took the time to discuss options and explain issues: I have to return for further treatment and I feel I'm in good hands. Unfortunately his professionalism is more unique in the field than it should be, so I really want to commend him and his office staff. read more

Yeah. I've got a good dentist and he recommended Dr. Bani to do my root canal. I've had two canals done in the past so when I found myself dozing off during the procedure I knew he was the best. read more

Dr. Bani is the best, I would never consider going to anyone else. He is honest caring and his team is great. He really cares about his patients!!! read more

Extremely impressed with Dr. Bani, his kindness, level of knowledge and patience in explaining was truly excellent. I highly recommend both him and his friendly staff. Thank you! read more

I am glad to be visited by Dr. Banihahsemi and met his staff. I had a broken tooth and 4 dentists told me from beginning I would need root canal but he told me he would do his best to keep my tooth as long as the texture of my tooth is not soft and he shared lots of good information about my tooth and procedure . I ended up of getting root canal and at that point I knew it would be the only option since I trust him after visiting him. He is really expert, did my root canal as much as smoother and faster than I expected and followed up with me after I got the treatment. I appreciate him and his nice staffs and definitely recommend him. read more

He's fantastic with root canal as I've had several done . Didn't hurt. Trust him. You can too.

Dr Bani is one of best root canal Dr I have been to. Very Kind and he knows how to work on u with Hardly any pain. He is really stand up doctor that I Really admired him. Thank u Dr Bani being my Doctor. Tina Greisman read more

Repeating others' reviews - amazing to go to an endodontist and not end up with a root canal - on initial consultation, it seemed that I needed one (lots of pain). After scheduling, when I came in, it has recovered quite a bit, but I was still ready to do the root canal - on the spot, Dr. Bani talked me out of it - let's keep monitoring for now. He cares deeply and shares knowledge that makes you feel great about your decisions. Thanks Dr. Bani. read more

Dr Banihashemi is a Brilliant doctor ! Caring , Passionate , gentle A professional beyond words

I had a root canal from Dr. Bani when I was a teenager--probably 7 years ago. I'd never WANT to get a root canal again, but I would be happy to go see Dr. Bani. He's extremely nice, funny, and most importantly, a complete pro. It's hard to worry with him as your doctor. I had zero pain and zero complications. It didn't handle the issue we were hoping it would, but that was at no fault of Dr. Bani. Whenever I get x-rays, dentists comment on what a good job he did. I always thought root canals were terrible and painful. That may be true elsewhere, but from my experience, not from Dr. Bani. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Bani is such a great root specialist. You don't feel a thing, even the injections, 'as I'm a total scare baby.' His a genuine, honest, caring & a gentle human being. I wish more dentist were like him. His work is exceptional. Plus he always takes the time to explain, so I could fully understand. I've had to have over the many years a few a root canals, I only go back to Dr Bani. Plus most importantly he does not rush into root canal until he's 100% sure, that is your issue. Of course I'll always refer my friends & clients to him. His long time assistant Greta & receptionist are just as nice as he. That normally speaks volumes. He also takes the time to call you after to see how you are feeling. Thanks Dr Bani & don't retire anytime soon, please! read more

You know an endodontist is good if you're moved to write a review even if you DIDN'T get a root canal. I was referred to Dr. Bani from my dentist for a root canal. Dr. Bani took a look at it and wasn't completely convinced it would save my tooth. Like other reviewers, I was appreciative of his honesty and ethics. Summary - Dr. Bani was thorough, explained everything to me, including what he was observing on the X-rays (and I really appreciate it when docs/dentists explain procedures to me like I am truly a PARTNER in my own healthcare), gave me multiple scenarios, and sent me off on my way to make a decision. His office staff are very courteous, everything around appointments and being checked in was super smooth. Great practice run by lovely humans. Hope to never need a root canal in the future but if I do, this would be the place to get it done. read more

Dr. Bani is hands down one of the most knowledgeable, skilled and most ethical dentists/ professionals I've ever known. He is a gem.

I feel so grateful to have found this amazing professional to have some dreaded dental work performed. The root canal is swamped with horror stories. Dr. B, took as much time as was needed to make sure I felt nothing. I kept waiting for this excruciating nerve pain but I felt nothing. He was a master of his craft, and great guy with a sense of humor. He likes what he does and you feel it. Put all your worries away and just "get it done." This guy will make your experience better than just okay. I pray that I don't need a root canal again but you bet if I did, I'm coming back again read more

Dr. Bani is AMAZING! I went in for a root canal and as you can imagine, I was a nervous wreck. He managed to make me feel safe, he explained every step he would be taking, and was extremely attentive. He made the process pain free and gave good advice as to how to care for myself after the process. I am so impressed with his work that I had to make sure to give him a review. This is the second day after my procedure and I am feeling great having followed his advice! Thank you Dr. Bani and staff for being so warm and inviting! * this is office is being covid cautious, I was the only one in the office being attended. The place is clean, I highly recommend* read more

Dr. Bani is an exceptional doctor. Knowledgeable, personable, and an excellent communicator. He is a zero-pressure type of professional, genuinely cares about his patients, and I cannot believe how lucky I am that my dentist referred me to him. read more

I have seen Dr. Bani several times over the past 7 years. He and his staff are friendly and professional. He is honest and thoughtful in his assessment and recommendations. Whereas my dentist told me I might need a root canal, Dr. Bani felt I should wait 3 months and reassess my situation then. He didn't feel one was warranted at this time. Highly recommend him. read more

Would be nice if they called you back. In extreme pain still waiting on scheduler to call me back. New to California not impressed

Dr. Banihashemi was wonderful! Very thorough and extremely wise. I went to him for a second opinion on a root canal (done one year ago that is still painful), and his feedback was fantastic. I feel so much better! His kindness and humor were much appreciated! The office could not be cleaner. And the staff was delightful! If I ever need another root canal, he has my business! Recommend him highly!! Feel lucky to have found him! :0) read more

I was really scared going into my first root canal. I mean, root canal sounds like the worst thing in the world in popular culture, right? Dr. Bani was awesome! Very gentle and soothing. Made sure I had no pain. I'm also a gagger, but he was so careful, I didn't even gag once. He's excellent! read more

Top notch doctor and amazing human being. This man is the most kind, compassionate and quality endrodontist you will ever find. He is e en calls you at home after the procedure to make sure you are ok.... after coming in on a Sunday when an unexpected pain erupted. high recommend. read more

Great experience great Dr!! Highly recommended! Really enjoyed the experience, he even provided a little pillow during the root canal. Knowledgeable a f experienced, superb Dr read more

My first root canal. I was so nervous. I've only heard bad things about them. And the pain. Well I'm happy to say if I ever need another this is the doctor I choose. Explained in detail what was happening each step along the way. The numbing was painless and I usually clench at the drilling but it was fast and minimal. He personally called to check up on me and I never had any discomfort. What's all the fuss about root canals?? Come to Dr. Bani. The best. read more
