I had very bad experiences with their front office. During our first visit, they did not inform me that their office was not in my insurance network. On the second visit, they also failed to explain the treatment costs in advance. After the doctor performed a root canal on my daughter, I was unexpectedly given a bill for over $2,000. I attempted to request a small credit due to the miscommunication, but the doctor coldly declined. In addition, X-rays were taken without my consent. Due to the lack of communication and professionalism, I would definitely not recommend this office. read more

Great root canal specialist, very thorough. Clean environment but the front desk staff are extremely rude and inappropriately gossip about patients. on a previous visit they did not address cost and charged me without checking with my insurance. Reading previous comments it appears to be a pattern ... Weird. read more

I just came from a consultation with Dr. Seto. I am 80 years old, and very uneasy in a dental chair. I told Dr. Seto this and he was very alert to my anxiety and asked me what might help me to be at ease and did I have any prior difficult experiences with a dentist I did, Ii told my story and he listened carefully. He did not hurry me. Got a pillow for my neck remembering that my neck has some arthritis and is painful lying in a dental chair! I was made emotionally and physically comfortable. This doctor is a real human being! Besides emotional and physical care, he showed me images of my teeth, and said I would need to come back for a root canal but the rest was fine. I left the office without even a charge for the consult. I will be back for the root canal without anxiety! Thank you, dr. Seto SHARON SIMONE read more

Sweetest most angelic man on Earth. Extremely thorough and patient. Conducts multiple tests to ensure the correct tooth is being treated. Listened to all my questions and explained them in a way that made me feel as if I was his only patient. I've experienced dentists that will recommend unnecessary treatments just to get money but Dr.Seto is not that kind. He does what's best for the patient and the teeth. read more

I'm adding my post surgery update: Wow! Dr. Seto is so skillful and so professional! He did the absolute best work and had amazing focus. He made me feel so safe and calm that I even dozed off once or twice. I am super grateful to him and all the lovely people in his office who made my experience a healing one. Thank you, Dr. Seto! read more

I just finished a complicated dental procedure and just wanted to give a shout out to Dr. Seto. He did a great job of explaining all my options and advising me which option to choose. I reluctantly chose what he suggested, but now, having finished the treatment, realize that he gave me the best advice possible. He is soft-spoken and gentle and was always concerned about my comfort during the procedure. Should I ever need an endodontist again, I will definitely return to his office. Also, his assistants and office staff were great. read more

I had very bad experience with this Doctor. I just went to for consultation. He took x ray and just talked for 20 mins then charged $350 for nothing! Yes, they took my X-ray but never got price in advance. He said "ok, let's get X-ray" Of course I could not say NO. Also this consultation amount is separate with actual treatment amount. Also Dr was not kind at all. Just explained briefly and I can tell that he is cold person who does not care patient. Like computer or robot! Not kind at all! I don't know if he had bad day or rushing but just weird. If you are looking for good doctor who cares patient, please stay away! Just rip off and rude. read more

Dr. Sato is the most wonderful, patient, kind, gentle person and if you, as I was, are nervous about the dreaded words "ROOT CANAL" - this is an amazingly easy experience. My dentist referred me, and called to make the appointment for the following day. A one-page registration, and in. A badly fractured tooth that my dentist felt had to be seen by a master, the only one she would ever go to, and there I was. He was SO gentle, and my ridiculous (yes, very nervous going in) questioning was met with respect, and understanding. And so we began. A challenging presentation, oh great. My dentist had warned me that it would likely take two visits, which made me anything but happy. He completed the formerly dreaded root canal in ninety minutes, completed, no second visit required, Xrays taken sent to my own dentist. They bill insurance, and did ask for a deposit which I hadn't considered but understood when I said I do have good dental insurance and can put a certain amount (the 20% my insurance won't cover) on a credit card. Love the office, and kindness here. Dental work does get pricey and it's essential to have dental insurance. I am SO grateful that I do. So happy and what a wonderful surprise. I didn't even need one Advil after this. read more

There truly aren't enough review stars, or for that matter even enough adequate words to express how privileged and grateful I feel to be a patient of a physician as extraordinarily skilled and compassionate as Dr Bradley Seto and his wonderful staff. read more

The night before I was leaving for China my tooth was aching and could not sleep all night. At 4:30 am I FB messages and email my dentist Sadie Mestman ( who is the best ). At 5:30 am she text and emailed me to call her. I explained the pain and she said check my text shortly. At 5:45 am she said be at Dr Seto office at 7 am and he will see you. WOW! At 7 am I was there and by 8:30 am I was done with a root canal, a permanent filling and a new crown. Amazing! I still had pain but not as bad and it did take a few days for all the pain to go away but i did not need Vicodin, only Advil and Tylenol This Dr was amazing and thorough I highly recommend him And by the way- I made my flight to Shanghai at 1 pm that same day. Very happy read more

Dr. Seto is over the top extraordinary. He speaks to you the entire time informing you of what he's currently doing. He's very responsive to a patients' sensitivity to the procedure that is taking place. The staff are warm and friendly and the facility is Top Notch. White glove clean and what appears to be state of art dental equipment and tools. read more

Dr B Seto is absolutely the best in the business. The office is very clean nice and updated including the equipment they use. The office ladies are all very nice and helpful. Dr seto assistance is VERY accommodating. He and her have great bedside matters. He explains everything to you and is VERY through! I would say if you have any issues with your teeth make a appointment with them and see for yourself. read more

In 2007 I had a Root Canal on my molar that had crazy long thin curved roots.(complicated procedure) Dr Seto completed the root canal, and now, in 2013, 6 years later, when ALL my other dental work from other dentists has failed (UGH!), this one tooth has stayed strong and completely intact. I highly recommend Dr Seto. read more

Misinformed on the cost/coverage for the visit. So we got charged for a special x-ray that was not covered and paid for the exam on top of that. read more

I had a cracked rear molar in my maxillary region, and I was informed by my dentist that i could possibly lose it. Thank God he referred me to Dr. Seto. In his highly skilled hands, he performed a perfect root canal and temporary restoration and was able to salvage my tooth. He is an incredible clinician who is patient and communicates every step of the procedure with you. I highly recommend his expertise as an Endodontist. I do not have insurance, so I paid for his services out-of-pocket, and it was worth every penny!! read more

Best dentist ever! I had so much pain yesterday and he carefully checked each and every tooth to understand which one was giving me problems and then proceeded with the root canal. I did not feel ANYTHING and I was almost falling asleep. He was clearly explaining to me everything he was doing and he was so calm and peaceful. I was scared to death before the procedure, but after the procedure I feel great and I have to thank Doctor Seto for fixing my problem! read more

Had my second root canal yesterday performed by Dr. Seto. As with my first experience, he and his staff made what would have otherwise been a horrible, excruciating event a fairly painless one. Not only was Dr. Seto able to take me in for a consult immediately after my dentist called, he was able to schedule me for a same-day appointment later that afternoon for the actual root canal. He carefully explained the possible outcomes and probability of success during my consult, then followed that up with meticulously walking me and my husband (who was in the exam room with me the entire time, bless his heart through every step/action he took during the procedure, even though I was already fairly dazed and sedated with the nitrous. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll recover as nicely from my second root canal as my first, but you're in good hands with Dr. Seto! read more

My tooth problems started about three weeks ago. I finally went in last week to my regular dentist, however, he couldn't figure out which tooth it was so he referred me to Dr. Seto. Dr. Seto took his time to diagnose which tooth it was; it wasn't the one I thought it was! Once he was absolutely sure, he then proceeded to give me the root canal. He made sure that the filling went all the way down so there wouldn't be any future issues. I agree with the other reviewer that he lacks empathy but he definitely is professional and knows what he's doing! On a side note, they squeezed me in on a very late notice; I called in at 3 pm and they took me at 5 pm. I definitely appreciated it! read more

I'm writing this review just hours after an emergency root canal performed by Dr Seto, feeling so much gratitude for the incredible treatment I received today. My dentist referred me to Dr Seto after I came in to her office with pain that I'd been experiencing for days. Dr Seto and his office were wonderful from start to finish - I was tired after not sleeping fully for days with an intense jaw/toothache, worried about getting the issue fixed quickly as I'm flying abroad tomorrow, and worried about the potential issue itself. I was booked in to see Dr Seto within 3 hrs of my dentist calling his office; he was calm, gentle, listened deeply and asked lots of questions and was able to quickly and correctly diagnose the issue - a dead nerve as a result of an infection via a large crack in one of my back teeth. He performed the root canal while explaining to me gently and clearly the whole time what was happening and what he was seeing. It was a painless and dare I say calming (!) experience after days of throbbing aches in my jaw, little sleep, and lots of worry and nerves. I cannot thank Dr Seto and his office enough for taking me in on such short notice, for giving me such attentive, quality care, and for making a root canal procedure such a pleasant and relieving experience :) read more

Dr. Seto came highly recommended by my dentist and his front office & he did not disappoint. I felt very comfortable from the time I stepped in the door until the time I left. He had to retreat an existing root canal and also found another issue while I was there. Isn't that always the case :). He probably spent a few hours with me total and did not stop until he was completely satisfied with his work. He also took the time to patiently review the X-ray results with me. Bottom line, I was extremely satisfied with the entire front desk & Dr. Seto and recommend him without any reservations if you need these dental services. I hope that this review was helpful. David read more

The best. Bar none ! Consummate professional & perfectionist who doesn't quit until he is completely satisfied, no matter how long it takes ! ! Unfortunately I had to avail myself of Dr. Seto's services again a few weeks ago because I was in excruciating pain. As goes with the territory, Dr. never knows the full extent of the problem until he opens up the tooth. In layman's terms, Dr. found a number of extenuating issues but he was able to perform the root canal AND address the other issues AND button the tooth back up without my needing another crown ! He spent damn near 2 hours on me and remained patient & diligent until he was satisfied that the job was completed to his high standards. I was ecstatic beyond belief when I visited my dentist afterwards, fully expecting to need another full crown, yo be pleasantly surprised when she told me that Dr. Seto left the tooth so that it didn't need another crown. This could simply be a one off but I trust Dr. Seto & his great staff with my life ! THANK YOU to Dr. Seto & his back office & front office staffs. You are the best ! David read more

Dr. Bradley Seto is amazing ! I am absolutely terrified of all dental procedures, especially a root canal. Dr. Seto has a very calm way of going over the process . He is very honest in regards to what needs to be done .He keeps you informed to what he is doing step by step. Absolutely painless . I am going back in a week for a follow up and looking forward to it. So happy I found him :-)! read more

When you are having good a root canal it is never a great day to begin with but dr seto and his staff were professional, kind and really on the ball. I met Dr seto Sr. Years ago for a different root canal so being able to have the same kind of fantastic care from his son years later was a pleasant surprise. On my second visit to finish the work I actually fell asleep in the chair of that gives you any idea of how painless it was. I don't easily jump to give 5 stars but I do in this case. Overall it was about as good a experience as it gets for a root canal. read more

I have weak teeth and generally do not like to go to dentists. When I was told I had to get a root canal and I was terrified. I told him that I was anxious, and he put me to ease. He is so calming. I actually fell asleep during a root canal! It was more pleasant than going to the regular dentist! I hope to never use his services again, but if I have to have another root canal, I would go to him in second. read more

I'm a dentist and I was impressed with my treatment there. Pain free, even getting numb, and done quickly.

I saw Dr. Seto same day for an emergency. Great bedside manner! He was spot on with my issue and I can't recommend enough.

I can't imagine a better endodontist. He's done root canals for me and other family members, and everyone raves about him (which is not usual for us!). He's EXTREMELY skillful - fast, gentle, thorough, kindly, and really REALLY sharp and smart. He quietly cares and takes great quiet pride in doing the best work. He's calm and patient and answers questions simply and articulately. He's friendly, but focused and doesn't waste time. I absolutely trust his judgment. He even saved one of my teeth (and me a lot of money), because in the hands of someone less brilliantly deft, it would have required an extraction if he was unable to use his finesse to fix it. Amazing. He's all about integrity and ethics. Highly professional office. His staff are efficient, helpful, and down to earth. If I ever have a dentist who recommends anyone other than Dr. Seto, I would definitely lobby them to let me go back to him. And if they resisted, I'd rather change dentists! (Btw, I think you can only see him if you are referred to him by your dentist, since he's a specialist.) read more

I was very nervous about getting a root canal. My dentist referred me to Dr Seto. He and his staff were very warm and reassuring. The procedure wasn't bad at all! And the follow-up was impressive - he called to check on me later. I found Dr Seto and his staff to be very professional but kind and friendly, too. read more

If I could rate this office a minus zero I would in a heartbeat... This has been the worse dental experience of my life ... It would be too long to try to explain what this Dr. and his office put me through but all I can say is , if you have to see him I hope you have a better experience than me ... He was not only unable to properly treat me , but made me like the pain I was having was all in my head ... He couldn't admit that he screwed up ...Good luck to anyone that ends up in his hands ... read more

Wow...first off I AM a big baby when it comes to dental work...but I have to say I was being quite brave today as I have an infected tooth and am in so much pain due to it...my dentist referred me to Dr. Seto and they were fitting me in at the end of the day for a root canal. Well this guy turned out to be the coldest most un-empathetic Dr. I have ever dealt with...literally no tolerance for someone like me...I asked if he had other patients who are scared and he said "we put them to sleep" well as I am allergic to anesthesia that is not worth the risk for me...asked if the nurse could hold my hand and talk me thru it and she was like "I can't" ...seriously I think because it was the end of the day he did not want to treat me and was irritated at the thought of having to "deal with me" ... he ended up just making me feel worse...and to top it off it is Friday and I have to deal with the pain until Monday...don't know if at this point even possible. if you are sensitive like me and need someone who is really caring...do not go here. read more

Overpriced. Rude. Condescending. Run from this practice. They ask for your insurance information while you wait. Then they come back after they supposedly verify your insurance and your coverage amount. Present you with a bill for your portion. BUT BEWARE because they have NOT verified how much the insurance will pay and you will be stuck with a HUGE bill at the end for their overpriced procedures. The father and son are the same. They talk down to you. I guess they forget that the patient is the client and is PAYING them for treatment and my tooth still hurts. read more

Dr. Seto is truly a master. I went to him with severe tooth sensitivity that had been getting worse over the past few months. He did a very careful examination and decided to proceed cautiously and that I might just need a crown before a root canal and sent me back to my regular dentist. Long story short, my other dentist couldn't numb me and felt I needed a root canal. When I saw Dr. Seto again, I was a nervous wreck. I have a dental phobia as it is and I was absolutely terrified he wouldn't be able to get me numb. But, he is gifted at giving injections so you don't feel anything and he numbed my whole mouth before proceeding. He checked in with me during the entire procedure and there was one point I could feel a tiny ache and he gave me another injection to make sure I was totally comfortable. I didn't feel anything at all! I couldn't believe it! He did an outstanding job and I couldn't be happier. I would never go anywhere else! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Bradley Seto. He's an excellent Endodontist, very knowledgable, compassionate and has great chair-side manners. I have a very unique history of overcoming head and neck cancer, had to endure radiation and was referred to see Dr. Seto for vitality testing and imaging re: issues I'm having with some of my teeth. Dr. Seto has a great level of experience not only with just basic patient care, but also with those who have had extreme cancer backgrounds as well, which can be difficult to find. He'll be my "go-to" Endodontist going forward... read more

Dr. Seto and his staff are as good as it gets. My dentist sent me to Dr. Seto because I needed a root canal ... my first ... I was terrified because I'd heard awful stories about getting root canals. Well the whole procedure was totally painless ... I didn't even feel the shots ... I couldn't believe it was over in no time ... I didn't even have to go back for a second appointment. Everything about his office and staff was 100% professional and I remember thinking "this guy has to teach dentistry somewhere" ... I was right ... he teaches at UCLA. read more

Dr. Seto is a gem. He fit me in at the end of the day (5-7pm!), and still explained my options and the procedure at length and fielded my questions with complete patience. He walked me through the procedure at every step. It was, and continues to be, painless. His staff (who also had to stay late to accommodate me) was equally professional and lovely. And the kicker: he walked out with me to ensure I got to my car safely! It could not have been a better experience. read more

Amazing doctor. ZERO pain on a root canal. Hopefully I won't be seeing him again...but if need be...I won't hesitate.

Something just was not right - the pain came and went and I could not exactly tell which tooth it was. Dr. Seto did not give up and had the patience and gentleness to finally figure out which tooth it was. He was great! Sitting through a root canal is no picnic but Dr. Seto has a very calm and a reassuring manner. He answered any and all my garbled questions and I felt confident and very sure I was getting superior care while sitting in the chair. I would rather be any where else than seeing an endodontist but if I have to go again I would not hesitate to call Dr. Seto. The ladies behind the desk were also very pleasant. read more

I had a root canal today...the best ever! No pain during or after the procedure. This is the place to go if you you need endo...the office was friendly and helpful too. read more
