I noticed a lump on my gum near one of my back teeth. My regular dentist recommended Aloe & Carr and sent my X-rays over. I had an initial appointment right before I went on vacation. They confirmed with me that yes, indeed I needed a root canal. They could have scheduled me in fairly quickly but I was going out of town the very next day for quite an extended period. I was dreading the actual procedure based on nightmarish stories that I'd heard before. Boy was I in for a surprise. The only real pain that I experienced was the actual numbing shot to the inside pallet. However, once fully numbed I felt nothing. Bonus points for not having the whole side of my face numb. I expected pain and or soreness afterwards but only experienced muscle soreness from having my mouth open for a little over an hour. Kudos to those who worked on me. Would highly recommend. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Aloe's for several years and have always appreciated the professionalism and care I receive. Dr. Aloe takes the time to explain my options and procedures clearly and with understanding. The entire team--from the technicians to the front office staff--is consistently friendly and professional. I've recommended this practice to others many times and will gladly continue to do so. read more

VA set appointment with Aloe & Carr for a root canal dentist did a wonderful job leaving me with little to no pain and he was also very helpful working with the VA . I have to point out two of the staff members had a difficult time addressing me by my surname even after receiving intake form I was given on initial visit stating "how would I like to be addressed" and after I gave the proper pronunciation of my last name to the assistant it was visibly noticeable the effort not to say my last name in a dental office that has a form with that specific question on how to be addressed. I hope it was just an unfortunate bad day and not be confused with anything else. read more

I've had 2 root canals done by Dr Aloe and by far one of the best experiences I've had with a dentist. No pain, not even with the needle to get me numb. Dr Aloe and his assistants explained the procedure each time even though I knew what to expect and was very professional and listened with anything I had questions about. I highly recommend this office if you are in need of a root canal. read more

I see a few negative reviews, and wonder who set these people's expectations? Anyway, I am 77, and have probably had 10 root canals so far - FIVE of them were done by Dr Aloe. While they are never fun, I no longer fear a root canal. Dr Aloe even redid a botched root canal that was done years ago by another and saved a tooth that others felt had to be pulled. The only thing better than a root canal by Dr Aloe is to not need a root canal! (no idea why it thinks I am in San Francisco - never been there) read more

Very easy to deal with. Staff was friendly and extremely well trained. The doctor did a great job and there was absolutely zero pain. He and his assistant worked very well together. read more

Was referred to Dr. Carr about possible root canal as I had an abscess, was in pain, and beginning to swell. Dr. Carr thougt ht a root canal may be unsucessful and told me if I decided to have it extra ted to call her so she could get me in with someone. The next morning I did call the office to say I decided on extraction and needed ber to get me in, The receptionist put me on hold and then came back and gave me the name of an oral surgeonand told me to call. I did and was to,d the first appt was 5 months away. They stated the dentist would need to call and they needed xray. I called this office back and forth trying to get them to assist me in getting in to see an oral surgeon and get my xrays sent. They offerred absolutely no help, and actually caused me harm by preventing me from getting in. I called severla of the practices back that I asked for xrays to be sent. They never received them. Wow, never had a practice go,out of tbeir way to prevent care. I ended up in the ER on IV antibiotics and steroids. Called their office back and all I got from them was callous indifference. Now almost a month later I have still been unable to get treatment for this abcessed tooth. I was a dental assistant for more than 10 years. This is not how a quality practice treats people. This has nothing to do with ability to pay, I have dental insirance and can pay my bill. Also nothing to do with a latient who does not take care of teeth. I have seen a dentist every six months my entire life and never been treated this way by a dental practice, Seems like a case of negligence to me. read more

I first met with Dr Carr June 25th 2019. I was told that I needed a root canal. The appointment to do the root canal was scheduled for 5 weeks away. At that time I was offered no anti-biotic or pain meds. Dr Carr said my tooth cracked during the procedure and that I needed to have the tooth extracted. She offered me no pain meds and I was up all night in terrible pain. An infection is the cause of needing a root canal so antibiotics would have been routine. I managed to see an oral surgeon the next day to have the tooth extracted. The oral surgeon gave me pain meds and antibiotics. I feel that Dr Carr was negligent in not offering me the meds that I needed. I also wrote this to Dr Carr on her website but I never heard from her office. read more

I was referred to this office by my regular dentist for possible root canal. As a healthcare professional, I was appalled to see that no one in the reception area wore a mask despite all healthcare facilities in this state being under a mask mandate. There was no plexiglass barrier between them and the waiting area. The assistant only put on a surgical mask to walk me to the room and take films. Dr. Aloe entered the room with a surgical mask under his chin and only put it on when he stepped in front of me. But he only covered his mouth. When I asked him to pull his mask up, he stated that he was vaccinated which showed that he only cared about himself and not his patients. He didn't wash his hands with sanitizer or otherwise when he left the room. For a practice that specializes in aerosol generating procedures, the lack of PPE and concern for patients is appalling! Healthcare professionals owe a greater duty to their patients. read more

Last summer, my regular dentist gave me the devastating news that my tooth needed a root canal. I've had these three times in my 65 years of living, and after the last time, I swore I would just have the tooth extracted before I'd go thru the procedure again. But after almost a year of trying to chew on a broken tooth, I decided to bite the bullet (pun intended) and go thru with it. I checked out all the dentists who do this--- they're called endodontists--- and went with Dr. Aloe. I went to his office this morning reeling with anxiety. And now I sit here dumbfounded, because he made it as easy as getting a cavity filled. Zero discomfort, even when giving me the shots of Novocaine. But there's more. I am infinitely grateful to him not just for his expertise, but for his respectful treatment, his courtesy and kindness. He is the very best of the best of the best. If you read this, Dr. Aloe, I just want to thank you again, and tell all the world where to go for a root canal. read more
