I had a root canal in 2020. The procedure went well and Dr. Michaelian did a non painful procedure. A few weeks later, I had tooth pain. Since the pandemic started the office was closed, so I lived with the pain for 5 years. In 2025 the tooth was more painful so I returned for advice. Another root canal on the same tooth. All the costs were out of pocket because my insurance didn't cover endodontics. 5 months later, I have a gum infection a long the tooth. I went back for advice and now he said I need the tooth extracted. I understand that root canals are not 100% effective. I believe the doctor wasn't being honest with me the second time. I could have saved $4000.00 total. I will not go back there. Beware. read more

Our experience was not great. Pre forms never sent. Cost estimate never given. Given a days notice as to cost. Charged over $300 for a five minute visit . Would not recommend. read more

Everything about my experience here was great. Since this is a medical facility I will keep my info private. But I do recommend this business read more

This was the best root canal in my life. Seriously no pain, the Dr kept me informed and at ease the whole time. The staff was professional and accommodating. I would definitely return to them should I need to and I recommend their services. read more

I had an emergency dental need (severe tooth pain, I needed a root canal, just before Thanksgiving). They are in network but MULTIPLE things were done that were not covered by my insurance. I've had root canals in the past and I never needed those (a CT scan and a wave wash thing). The doctor's skills of injection of anesthesia was a C+. Otherwise he was fine. Everything else was fine. Ambience score: A++ Skill: C+ or B- Ethics: C+ (only a C + because they didn't charge me for the wave thing when it still hurt, not their fault). Overall, don't let the ambience fool you I'M NOT COMING BACK They can easily fix the problem, but I won't find out. I'll do more research and find a more ethical, higher skilled provider. read more

I want to encourage others to be very mindful about where they choose to go for their wellness. Many of us care deeply about our overall well-being--physically, mentally, and spiritually--and we deserve providers who honor that. Unfortunately, some doctors seem more focused on getting through appointments or securing the next check than truly seeing the human being in front of them. When care becomes transactional, the entire purpose of the work gets lost. Just because someone has a degree or has been practicing for years doesn't automatically mean they are the right fit for your health or your procedures. The wrong provider can easily become the catalyst for future physical, mental, or even spiritual issues. Patients deserve more than being rushed through an appointment. We deserve providers who slow down, listen, and genuinely care. read more

I went to get my root canal procedure done here. Initially I was hesitant because the procedure scared me. But Janel in the front office was very kind. She gave me some forms to read and fill out. Remember to always read documents before you sign anything. Nyla the dental assistant was kind as well. She took some x-rays before and after. Dr. Do made sure to explain what the procedure will entail. He also checked to make sure if I understood and if I had any questions as well. Honestly the whole procedure was not painful. Dr. Do numbed my mouth and I did not feel anything. I even fell asleep for a little while. read more

Bay Area Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I cracked a tooth with an old crown, and my general dentist told me I needed a root canal. To make matters more stressful, I had a flight in two days that I couldn't miss. I was really in a bind. I started calling around and Bay Area Endodontics was the only place that picked up right away. They were incredibly understanding and got me in the same morning--truly amazing. At my consult, they took standard X-rays and then a specialized endodontic CT scan to look for cracks. Everything was explained thoroughly, and they made sure I understood the next steps before doing anything. I don't have dental insurance, so I was especially mindful of costs. Fortunately, they were transparent and detailed about pricing from the start--no surprises, just clarity and professionalism. Everyone I interacted with was exceptional: The front desk team was courteous and efficient The assistant was kind and attentive Dr. Sohn was professional, reassuring, and clearly skilled Follow-up was prompt and helpful My consultation was in San Carlos, and the procedure itself was done in San Mateo--smooth coordination between offices. I know they also have multiple locations across the Bay Area, which is incredibly convenient. I hope I never need another root canal... but if I do, I know exactly who I'm calling. Thank you to the entire team for taking such great care of me. read more

I was referred to Bay Area Endo by my general dentist for a root canal due to my high anxiety and they provide IV sedation. I went to Daly City for a consultation and then a month later, was scheduled with Dr. Michaelian in the Sunnyvale office as he is only there Thursdays and Fridays. Everyone was super nice and patient with my high anxiety. I have a huge phobia of dental and had trauma in the past. Anything that gets put in my mouth, like just for cleaning, I would gag a lot, so I'm super thankful they provide IV sedation to make me calm and not aware of the procedure. Shout out to the staff who are super friendly and always there to answer any questions you have. After the procedure was done, I don't remember anything other than how I got to my room and woke up from my bed. LOL! IV sedation is basically putting you in a twilight zone (I'd probably say drunk?) and once the numbing disappear a few hours later, the tooth that had a root canal had no pain whatsoever. Other than mild pressure when you chew on that tooth. I'd say the mild pressure lasted only for a few days, then I was able to finally eat normally within 4-5 days. I do recommend taking Advil if there is some pressure and mild pain when you chew on that tooth. The receptionist also called the next day to check in on me and update me on the procedure. I would highly recommend Bayarea Endo for any root canal procedures! Especially if you need IV sedation! They get you set up very calmly! read more

The most pleasant dentist experience I've had so far! I came in bright, early & anxious for my root canal appointment and instantly felt more relaxed and welcome chatting with Janelle and the other very nice reception staff! Dr. Do performed my procedure along with his dental assistant Nyla and they both really helped settle my anxiety by explaining the entire process in combination with some laughing gas! I felt no pain during my procedure and Dr. Do continuously checked in on me and explained what was being done as he was doing it. Easily the most pleasant dental experience I've had by far! I cannot recommend them enough read more

I had root canal treatment done by Dr. Victor Peritore in Daily City and had a great experience. The doctor was very professional and did the procedure very smoothly. His assistant, Teresita, was also very helpful, as was Stephanie at the desk. Again, a great experience! Thank you. read more

I felt ripped off. I went for consult and a root canal. I knew the cost of the CT scan, but I questioned why they didn't just take regular x-rays, and then if needed, use the CT scan, especially since she needed two other regular x-rays in addition to the scan, after the scan. The staff had so much make-up on it was inappropriate for a medical office, and one of the staff didn't know what she was doing and had to be taught by the doctor during my appointment. Anyway, even though I got in early, and there were no other patients, the doctor kept me waiting 30 minutes pass my appointment time before seeing me. She then came in looked at the x-rays, told me why she wasn't comfortable doing the root canal and that was it. Total cost for nothing was $460.00. What a rip-off. I also wasn't given a run-down of the charges. This was at the Cupertino office. I was in pain, so I paid and left. read more

My visit to the Bay Are Enddontics for a root canal was perfect. It was my first time at this clinic and as I walked in, I was greeted by a super cheerful staff! Jasmine explained the non-medical side of things and called me the next day to check up on me. Which I thought that was wonderful. During the root canal procedure, Paulina and the Doc were also great! Paulina made me feel safe when I was getting my numbing shots, which was a big deal for me. I have been so afraid of doctor offices since I was a little girl and avoided doctor visits for as long as possible. However, while I was there for my visit, the whole team made me feel very comfortable. Paulina let me hold her hand while I was getting my shots (big deal for me lol) and made an awesome support personal. The doctor did a great job in taking care of my root canal, explaining the treatment, and the aftercare. The whole staff made me feel welcomed and provided me with great care. In the short time I was at the clinic, everyone made my visit as comfortable as possible. Nobody is obligated to provide and exceptional service, but the Bay Area Endodontics did and I am grateful for that! I am extremely satisfied with my visit and I will definitely choose them for my future dental needs. Thanks to the whole staff and keep up the great work! read more

Let me start by saying I don't have a problem with the doctor but how the information about finances was relayed to me. I called to make an appt regarding if a root canal can be done. I told the receptionist I have all X-rays already including Ct scan. She gave me a ~$500 out of pocket cost of my share for the root canal treatment. I go in for the appointment. I sign forms and there's a separate form for Ct scan for $175, I ask her about it and she said it's included in the treatment price so I was like okay. I go in to see the dentist, they do my Ct scan first, the dentist comes in, looks at my tooth and tells me he can't do a root canal on my tooth which I understood. The whole process took 2 mins. I go out and she charges me for Ct scan. I even asked her politely why and she said because you took the scan. I felt like I was tricked. I should have been told before that I would be charged for the CT scan out of pocket when I come in. I had all my X-rays myself and it was obvious that a root canal wasn't needed from looking at my own X-rays and my tooth. At that moment I didn't want to say anything and I was in tooth pain so I paid and left. I wouldn't mind paying for the scan if an actual root canal treatment was done but if there's no treatment done and I have my own X-rays to determine if root canal can be done or not. Then to charge for Ct scan is SO WRONG and especially without even informing me on the phone when appt was made. read more

Third time trying to come in for the doctor to correct the tooth he did not file down well enough and my mouth does not close on the right side. He worked on me the first Time, then I had to go back and have him do it again from some error they made reconstruct same tooth. I will check to see how much they charged me and get back in. Now after second time, the mouth does not close equally. The work he did on the R. lower side was now filed down enough and he asked me, is that too high, I said, well I can't tell, I guess then he walked off. Normally, everywhere else I go they use a litmus paper or something to have me tap on to see if the teeth are even on both sides, he did not do it and subsequently, I have had very bad problems and even thought the upper tooth was acting up, because it had swelling. Now since swelling down, I can tell it is the tooth he worked on. I called for a appt, they said, I need to pay $700 deductible first. I said well I can not right now. The swelling went down and I realize it is the bottom tooth (the one re-worked on twice and now will be the third time. OMG..This is too much, I do NOT recommend. Also they are rude and impatient. read more

My experience was above all I can ask or think. At first, I was super nervous about getting a root canal entering into the office. However, Mona totally relaxed my mind and insured me that the process would be painless and there was nothing to worry about. Mona was very compassionate and caring about my comfortability. She continued to check on me throughout the process making me feel very comfortable. She also made great conversation to keep my mind off the procedure while receiving my shots. Kory was very straight forward, quick, and professional during the process. He did a great job at explaining exactly what might take place and what my options would be. Kory and Mona makes a great team and I will recommend them to anyone that is looking for Great Service and Compassion. I look forward to seeing them for my check up in January. God Bless this office! read more

Bay Area Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I scheduled an appointment that was 11 days out, which was the absolute best that they could do, even with their 5 locations. They said that they would give me a courtesy call 1-2 days before the appointment. I often don't answer my phone when I don't recognize a number. That's on me. However, I have never had a health provider CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT when I didn't pick up the phone. I plan to find a more caring provider in the near future. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND FIND A MORE CARING PROVIDER. read more

I wouldn't recommend this orthodontist. I had an appointment at 1pm. We started with the regular filling out forms and the x-rays. By 1:30pm we had decided that we would go ahead with the root canal. It all seemed to be going well and the doctor said that the procedure would take about an hour and a half. Well, he already had other appointments scheduled and he would leave me waiting while he was doing consultations to others. Leaving me mouth open in the middle of the root canal. Took 3+ hours total. I was so uncomfortable and in pain that they had to inject me again When they called me for a follow up...I told them how bad the experience was. Later they sent me a card (picture) with a $50 gift card. Sorry, not worth the pain. It would have been better to schedule me for another time. I would have understood. read more

Bay Area Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I Visited Bay Area for the first time back in February great experience the whole office was really nice, from the front desk Jasmine to the back assistant Deana. Dr. Michaelian was also nice he got right to it explained what he needed to and finished with in an hour, amazing. read more

I had a very confusing experience here. I went here instead of Peninsula Endo because BA was in network with MetLife. There were two scheduling people I spoke with trying to set up my appointment and one was amazing and one was kind of all over the place. I really had to push to set up a consult separate from same-day treatment. I knew there was a chance my tooth couldn't be saved and so I knew it would be a bad idea to book a treatment appointment. The very idea that one needs to know for sure is odd- that is what a consult is for, so that an expert can decide. Anyhow, on site, the endodontist I saw was amazing- she looked long and hard at the scans and went over in detail her hypothesis and the evidence for it and made me feel really confident in her diagnosis, the hygienist ct scan person was wonderful, and one of the front desk women was lovely. The confusion really amped up when it was decided, by the expert, that they couldn't save the tooth and I would need an implant. The male with the pony tail at the front desk with lots of extra special personality then proceeded to tell me in detailed, contradictory, confusing, spiraling detail about how implants are really expensive and they take about a year to complete and they only have one endo who does implants so good luck with that... I say, no no, that's great, well I don't want an implant either but if I have to have one I'd like to get on it so I'd like to see the doctor you have that performs them. Him: well, he's booked a month out. Me: great, that will work just fine for me. Him: well, we don't even know if he works with your dentist. Me: Um, well I don't care too much for my dentist so which dentists does Dr. Michaelian work with? Him: Um, it doesn't work like that. Me: Ok, um, how does it work? Him: Well, only some dentists are familiar with the system we use. Me: Oh, ok, what system is that? Him: I'll write it down for you. (writes it down on a post it note and hands it to me). Me: So I just, like, call my dentist and see if he uses this system and if not I call other dentists? Him: Sure you can try that. Me: What is actually happening right now? I thought this place was a provider for the service that I need but they either don't want to do it or don't have good systems in place to do it? Sounds like it might be easier and better to find an endo office who can say, "We are so sorry you will lose your tooth and need an implant. We are here to make the process as easy and transparent as possible. Here is step one and step two and step three. This is how we will work with your dentist and your invisalign provider etc. This is the estimated cost." If anyone has had that experience please send me the recommendation. This was unproductive and super stressful. read more

Great experience all around! Their suite in the medical park is easy to find, they're on the right hand side (look for the bridge logo) and there's tons of parking. Mimi at the front desk was a ray of sunshine (you can feel the smile behind the mask) and made sure I was all set up with the potential treatment plan prices, scheduling out my next appointment, and keeping me company while the doctor got ready. Next I met Jenny who took my xrays and scans and assisted Dr. Kory Golchert through the various procedures. I came in with a janky old crown and he let me know that depending on what we found it might take multiple visits, but he updated me through the process and we found out they didn't do a thorough job the first time around. We made up for that today! I appreciated when Dr. Kory would explain what he was working on and what he was discovering, and his descriptions of the next sensation I would experience were accurate. It was interesting to hear what the possible outcomes were at each step, and I had reasonable expectations set if there had been a lot of bad news under there. I was particularly impressed with the timing of the analgesic shots, he managed to numb JUST the area worked on and the numbness wore off pretty quickly when I got home. Not that I could feel the work, but he managed not to numb any extraneous parts of my mouth. As much as I appreciate the pain-blocking during the procedures I always dread having a "missing" side of my face, and I really didn't feel like this today. (For context I had regular dental work yesterday and it was the standard novacaine experience.) They sent me off with some literature about the procedures and follow-up care instructions, and they outlined what I should watch for and what's "normal" discomfort in healing. A final pleasant surprise is that I have a complementary follow-up in a year, which is NOT something the previous endodontist offered. So while I came in for not great reasons, and I don't want to visit A LOT, I'm glad I did today and won't mind visiting in a year. read more

I recently visited the Sunnyvale location. I give this location 20 out of 10. My experience was professional and attentive. Thanks to Dr. Peritore and his assistant for the outstanding care you provided. Jasmine was warm and welcoming. Thank you all!!! read more

I went to their Sunnyvale location about 2 months ago for a root canal. The doctor and his dental hygienist were very calming and informative. I have had absolutely no issues with my root canal. My dentist even praised their work saying it was one of the best root canals she had seen in a while. I definitely reccomend this location! read more

Updated review as Dr Sunil has retired Went in for a consult and really like Dr Peritore- very patient, explained everything, helped me understand the situation etc. His assistant was super too- friendly, funny and efficient. Why 3 stars then? The front desk crew were sorta cold, unfriendly and seemed too busy to care about good customer service...it's a place where most folks come in with anxiety- I mean who wants to spend their day getting a root canal? But you didn't really get a sense of care and warmth for the patient. (Mary was loud on the phone too) Maybe it was an off day for the front desk team, but not such a good first impression. read more

If I can give this place an even lower rating I would. Bay Area Endodontics are crooks who charge for doctor's consultation in advance and will not give you refund once insurance cover the bill. This office is MONEY HUNGRY! Avoid this practice! After reading all the good reviews on Yelp I made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Michaelian at Bay Area Endodontics at Sunnyvale office. Once I arrived for my appointment receptionist told me that I'll have consultation with one of Dr Michellian's practitioner without my consent or any heads up over the phone in advance. (In that case I would've cancelled the appointment because I wanted to get to a specific doctor I choose based on reviews). I ended up having consultation with Dr Peritore who I didn't like and got my root canal done at another practice later. (Thanks God!!) I paid for this consultation at the office and two weeks later my insurance covered it so they needed to send me a refund check. But I never heard back from them. I called them multiple times trying to get my money back but everytime they keep pointing fingers to each other promising they send it right away but they don't. I've been dealing with this crooks for three months already since May but still can't get my money back from them! That is ridiculous! Stay away unless you want to be ripped off! read more

Dr Radika damaged my Nerve cell, 30 days pass and nothing changed, part of my chin is still numb, cause it's a paresthesia.

I was referred here by my daughters Pediatric dentist after she was seen and treated for a broken front tooth. (Caused by an accident at school) Originally the pediatric dentist filled the broken front tooth. But my daughter still had sensitivity when eating certain foods for months after. Went back to her dentist and they couldn't find the problem. So, we went with their recommendation and couldn't be more pleased with our experience! Dr. Michaelian DMD re-did the terrible job done on her tooth and was so cool to meet. Now the staff: Mona, Mabel, Jasmine & Deanna. You guys rock! Definitely made us smile and feel at ease while there. My daughter is only 9 and hasn't even had a cavity before. So to go straight to a root canal and numbing, one can only imagine how terrified she was and how a Mommy's heart would feel after trying to get her smile back to good along with being pain free. Highly recommend and would come back here again if needed! Thank you all so much! read more

This place is awesome! I went in for a root canal procedure with Dr. MJ the outcome being amazing, I would have to applaud Wendy and Ari from Bay Area endodontics for their outstanding professionalism. Hands down the best!! read more

I had this office referred from another office in San Francisco to take care of my husband's root canal. We had an emergencial appointment at 2:30pm on Thursday, Wendy called on Wednesday and said that the insurance was taken care of and they would reschedule for 10:30am. We got there 10:00am we waited until 11:25am until finally the girl on the front desk, probably Wendy, said that they never got the insurance referral and if they didn't get in the next 5 minutes they wouldn't take us through the insurance. So unprofessional, they should have called the other dentist's office and ask for the referral documents, rushing the patient in pain to get referral documents that we never saw in life. Wanted to charge us the full amount and they would send a check if they got the document! How can you be so unprofessional? Nothing was taking care of, you have no excuses for anything. Never gonna drive one hour again for emergencial appointment to this place, don't trust them, they are running a Meecky mouse operation there!! And we arrived half hour earlier and we waited patiently because we thought that the dentist was busy! S* D* f*! read more

My visit was quick but everyone in there were so sweet and attentive, I love the communication and how comfortable I felt.

Best dental experience I've ever had--something I never thought I'd write regarding a root canal. The office is clean, welcoming, and has a nice atmosphere to it. Set up of the appointment was quick, painless, and informative. The procedure itself was as good as it could be--didn't feel a thing and I've felt great since I had it done. Huge thank you to Dr. Peritore and Lori for making me feel comfortable and at ease during the procedure. I've had a life-long fear of the dentist and they both went out of their way to calm me down and make me laugh. I really appreciate the fact that they were so patient and kind to me during this process. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and everyone in the future. read more

To rebook an appointment, they asked me to pay $75 nonrefundable penalty to go back to my dentist and get a referral for the correct paining tooth. Front desk agent Stephany was rude to a patent who is in pain. As other reviewers mentioned that this place is a money hungry place. Please note that no one told me at previous appointment cancelation time that there is a cancelation fee of $75, I might not have cancelled knowing this and could have tried to work with my dentist in time. This is their way to take advantage of a patent when a patent is in need. read more

Root canal sounds terrifying, but somehow all star team Victor and Mona made this experience pleasant. I didn't feel a single thing and you are in hands of a great family there. They changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. Thank you read more

Really appreciate both the administration and medical staff at Bay Area Endodontics that got my son's root canal completed despite the shelter-in-place during the coronavirus crisis. The front desk did a great job scheduling, reminding me of appts, and making my part of the cost known. Dr. Michaelian explained things well and was efficient and effective. Thank you! read more

I have to start out with saying i am probably the most anxious person when it comes to dental care.... i called yesterday as a new patient with severe jaw pain and noticed a discoloration on my old root canal treated tooth... they got me in right away... Dr. Marshall Michaelian was so warm and welcoming, so detailed yet right to the point when explaining the procedure and my options. Not once did i feel rushed, not once did i feel like this was in any way an attempt to collect the most out of my out of pocket expense ( i have fantastic insurance, but if i didnt i wouldve gladly paid out of pocket just to be treated by this doctor) His entire staff was fantastic as well starting with Mari at the front desk who was so professional and so welcoming, then his dental assistant Lori was soooooooo great and super comforting. The entire procedure was so comfortable and not to mention quick. He saved my tooth and made it as painless as possible. I cant rave about this office enough. Very thankful for them and their professionalism. I will gladly drive to their Sunnyvale office any time for their care. Thank you everyone read more

I called a few offices trying to get information on drs and cost and Jasmine was very thorough and took time to explain each drs name and even spelled them out for me. She explained that after making an appt someone will call me to go over the cost. She told me about the website which was very helpful for me. I've been scared of the dentist my whole life knowing someone like this is nice over the phone says a lot of how they'll treat a person. I didn't make an appointment even after taking almost an hour of her time but once I have the time I will be calling back. Thank you again. read more

Any root canals needs to be done here! I am really satisfied with the 2 root canals done to my 13-14 th teeth. Paid around 1.5k each (50%) paid by insurance. Dr Michael did 3 times X-ray to each teeth during treatment, to make sure that he cleaned all the roots till the end. After 2 rootcanals my tooth ache stopped. Other dentists could not find why I was having tooth ache( read more
