Dr. Young and Dr. Lucena are very empathetic and caring doctors. Dr. Young gave me a clear explanation of my treatment options and I had a very smooth procedure. I had minimal pain or swelling afterwards and recovered well. Dr. Lucena gave me a through gum exam and lots of helpful advice for maintaining gum health. He went above and beyond and helped me decide between treatment options even when I was out of town. My nurse Christi and the rest of the staff have been incredibly helpful; they always provide very kind and quick assistance whether it's requesting a copy of my records or rescheduling an appointment! Creekside has taken great care of my teeth and gums and I couldn't recommend it more. read more

I don't know anyone that looks forward to a root canal , but I needed one and I knew I was in the right place when I saw everyone coming out of the dental area with a smile. The staff was very pleasant and professional. Dr. Young is extremely professional , efficient and a pleasure to deal with. As long as I am in this area and even if I can travel back here, this the only office I will go to. read more

Best place to go for root canals etc love the honest care instead of robbing me blind No unnecessary treatment just facts help and does have financial help available Very high class place and friendly staff The dentist Scott young is so kind and understanding- doesn't feel like they are rushing to get you out of the place like most Even offered free and multiple consultations to get the best care possible and attentive to your needs read more

See all

When it comes to having work done like a root canal, it is tooth. Creekside made the experience as pleasant as could be and recovery was quick. Honest consultation made me feel like they truly cared for me and my care! Great people. read more

Dr. Scott Young and Eva got me in within a few hours of my dentist's referral. Eva was so kind and patient while I took out multiple facial piercings so they could do the CBCT scan and identify the problem. Dr. Young walked me through the two issues and gave me an honest assessment of my options and the pressure-free opportunity to make an informed decision about my care. The root canal itself was quick and painless and my jaw pain/headache were gone as soon as the procedure was finished. Truly miraculous! read more

Dr Wong was very professional, kind, and gentle with my daughter. However, I am not happy with the lack of communication and fees that we have been charged. My daughter has three insurances, and we were still required to pay $551 out of pocket for a disposable mouth piece, and for the Dr. to "manipulate" a 3D image that was taken on our first visit. We were not charged on our first visit nor were we asked before they did the X-rays. I find it hard to believe that the throw away plastic thing that they put in my daughter's mouth was as costly as they are billing for. It just seems very scammy and just be aware of these charges when you go in. Even if the procedure is covered by your insurances, they will find a way to make you pay something. read more

First to start the front office staff, truly kind and patient with you. Always so welcoming when they answer, you can almost feel the smile on the other line. Making an appointment was so easy! Keeping it was hard due to my work schedule but they never gave me a hard time and were so willing to work with me. Secondly Evie who worked on my tooth with the Doctor, so kind and attentive, made me feel at ease. Very graceful I appreciated her checking on me every few minutes to make sure I was comfortable. The tools used were not ones I have seen in other root canals, it made it so easy to keep my mouth open without straining or pain. Very professional and honestly quite refreshing knowing how sterile and organized the process is. Dr. S. Young was also great, he answered my questions and addressed other possible needs that he had noticed. A doctor who focuses on the entire situation to me is an exceptional physician. Society has become a get in and get out process. It was relieving to be asked and heard about other possible problems and needs regarding my teeth. Dr. Young was very kind, professional and thorough, he didn't make me wait in between processes. You know when you meet doctors who just come off very good at their job, they are happy and talk about the procedures with such flow like it is a walk in the park and you are in good hands? That is the kind of confidence you feel with Dr. S Young. I truly recommend this office for the great atmosphere and professionalism. Thank you for working with me. read more

Very impressed with the clinic, the staff, the technology, and the entire process. As a new patient they inquired about my level of discomfort (none) and then scheduled me to see a doctor 3 business days later. The clinic lobby is beautiful. The administrative person was very kind and helpful, and I was called in right on time. Doctor Scott Young was kind, helpful, engaged, interested, and spared no time evaluating the 3D imaging of my teeth that was taken right there. He concluded that there was no need for any treatment at this time, and I was only charged a minimal amount for the consultation. Great experience, great people. Highly recommended. read more

My regular dentist referred me to this office for the first time. I was in incredible pain from a tooth in need of a root canal. I was able to make an appointment for the next day! It was such a relief, this office made my visit as comfortable and as easy as possible. The doctor/staff were extremely professional and friendly. Within the average recovery time, my tooth was back to normal. Thank you to everyone who helped with my appointment. I would absolutely return to this office if needed. read more

Wow! I can't say enough about this facility. From the promptness of scheduling to the professionalism from staff. The chairs were the most comfortable dental chairs I've ever sat in, they give you headphones to watch tv on ceiling during procedures and the dds that worked on me was super courteous and extremely quick. The root canal was done in under an hour start to finish. I wouldn't say it was enjoyable getting a route canal but it sure wasn't miserable as past experiences have been. Pricing is a bit higher then average dentists but I will gladly be paying more for all procedures in the future for the comfort factor read more

Creekside Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Folsom, California

I went into Creekside Endodontics today for a root canal "fix" (if you will). I was very scared, nervous and hesitant but the dentist and the staff were so incredibly nice, patient and thorough. I'm grateful for this experience and all the care I received. read more

Went to their Folsom office on March 17, 2022 for a root canal. Dr. Scott Young and his assistants Ella and Casandra were extraordinary. They had my root canal done promptly and pain free. Dr. Young is a highly skilled dental surgeon and I highly recommend him and his team. They are kind, professional and explain the process well from start to finish. Paul E Jacobs read more

Very knowledgeable dental care and very gentle care from Dr. Ruvim Zhuk. And excellent front desk and dental assistant customer service. I highly recommend this office requiring endodontic care!! read more

I have had four crowns in the past and I have experienced pain in all of them. Imagine my apprension before having a root canal. In July of 2023 I had a root canal done by Dr. Fife, and his assistant, Stacy. They worked as an excellent and efficient team and I experienced no pain. If I could give the office a rating of 6, I would. Jeff G. read more

Had my first root canal today. The office staff was great. Dr. Scott was amazing. He explained the procedure and asked if I had questions. The procedure lasted about an hour. The worst part was the injection which was brief. After a few moments letting the anesthetic do it thing Dr. Scott started. He updated me with what he was doing. Before I knew it, I was done. I was given aftercare instructions and sent on my way. The whole process was nearly painless. The time in the chair was nothing but small vibrations and a bit of pressure. Extremely pleased with the entire process. read more

The entire staff is professional and accommodating. I had a root canal. Dr. Young and his assistant were concise, fast and efficient. Best root canal I ever had. I would give them 10 stars if I could! read more

Where do I even begin... First, my dentist took images before referring me to Creekside for two root canals, then I had to have a consultation with more images (which billed $350 to my insurance) just so the Dr could explain to me what a root canal is and why it's needed (not my first rodeo, dude. One look in my mouth would have told you that, but hey...bill insurance as much as you can, amiright?) The day of my root canal arrives and I check in where I'm told that my insurance has maxed out, but they'll give me a $200 credit to help offset that (remember this $200 credit for the future). Eva takes me for even more images and keeps saying "okay, so it's your lower left.." to which I say "NO, UPPER left." And she says "okay, let me take another X-ray..." Eventually I rationalize that it's the Dr who needs to know which teeth he's working on, not the tech or assistant. Dr Hwang arrives and I tell him that since I have dental phobia my anxiety gets high and I tend to burn through the novocaine pretty quick. He assures me that the novocaine he uses is great and there won't be an issue. Then he starts to use a topical numbing solution...on the upper right side of my mouth. I had to correct him and remind him that the teeth being treated were on the other side of my mouth. We get into the canal treatment, and I have problematic roots that curve, so it's taking longer than typical. I say "ahhhh, hurts" and Dr Hwang kept scraping the roots while saying "really? You can feel this?" YES I CAN FEEL IT! This is why I told you I burn off novocaine fast! If I'm making noises that I'm in pain why why why are you still scraping???? That is just plain sadistic! All in all, between my problematic roots and the assistant/tech not being able to line up a good X-ray to see if the job was done right, the whole process took over 3 hours. And remember that $200 credit I was given since my insurance was maxed out? Yeah, I got a $200 bill from Creekside two weeks ago. I guess that credit was only temporary. read more

Where do I start? The last 2 years I have had one dental issue after another, resulting in losing 4 teeth total at different times. I have put off a nagging sensitive area just not wanting another couple thousand invested in my mouth however when the throbbing started my dentist was working to break his quarantine to see me in office. I needed a root canal on an old root canal gone bad. Dr Mark Young fit me in less than 48 hours later and is my hero for saving this tooth. He is gentle, kind and funny and put my fears at ease. All of his staff were sweet, kind and accommodating. Perfect customer care for people in pain or fearful. Going to the dentist is no ones favorite hobby but Creekside Endodontics is the place to go for when you do. read more

I was seen here after a sub par dentist put in a root canal that subsequently became infected. While they weren't able to save the tooth - the assistant here, Kristy, was super helpful and kind. The whole side of my face was swollen and I was in excruciating pain. She took the time to tell me what I can do to help the swelling, pain and infection. read more

I am shocked.... The customer service at the front desk is so terrible and unprofessional. The 2 girls sitting at the front desk a Hispanic girl and the white girl with strawberry blonde hair. Please DO better. You both are the face of the office. If you are rude or unprofessional that drags the entire office down. If the doctor is running behind which happens! Check in with the patients in the waiting room and apologize and let them know instead of waiting for them to get irritated about the wait and for you to snap back at them. Also if I'm signing any paperwork I in fact have permission to snap a photo if I'd like/ there's absolutely no reason for you to roll your eyes YOU ARE AT WORK IN A "professional" setting. Sadly I would definitely not be returning even though I have found Dr. Scott young to be Knowledgeable and honest! read more

Dr. Zhuk is a very honest guy and I appreciate that about him! I have horrible teeth and more root canals than I can count! I had 1 tooth that abscessed and had to have a root canal right away and 2 others that we need to keep an eye on ! He didn't try and pressure me into getting them all done at once which is what a lot of places would have done! He is very gentle and did not hurt me at all! Kudos to you Dr. Zuhk! read more

Although I hate going there because, well, they work on your teeth. But the place is so very comfortable, the staff is friendly and efficient, and Dr. Hwang is the best. I love that he takes the time to explain what he is going to do. read more

Worst dental experience that I have ever had! I would have given 0 stars if possible. I am in the medical field, and my care was awful! Extremely painful! Do yourself a favor and find another place. read more

As a first time patient, I was highly impressed with the genuine care I received from Dr. Young and team. All were super friendly, efficient, and ensured I was comfortable throughout the entire process which ultimately resulted in a much need root canal. Definitely a top notch group of caring professionals, and overall a very positive dental experience! Lynne T. read more

Dr. Ruvim Zhuk performed a root canal on my lower left molar this morning. If you have dental anxiety like I do, you may have questions like: What if I get an anxiety or panic attack during the procedure? Do I have to sit on the chair during the entire procedure? Will I catch my breath? Etc. Etc. Trust me when I say this: Have no such fear. Dr. Zhuk (and I assure you all the doctors there) are amazingly patient, kind, respectful, and understanding of all your needs and fears. You can move, sit up, walk, during anytime, and there will be no pain. Starting with the numbing gel, you will be given numbing shots slowly and gradually until you are dead numb. The shots don't hurt, the procedure won't either. The view outside is awesome (full length glass with landscaping outside) and it will alleviate your claustrophobia, if any. He let me sit up and relax and take a moment or two whenever I wanted, and once my inner child fathomed this, I was relaxed. Dr. Zhuk is so kind and smooth - he is almost invisible. This place is amazing. read more

Creekside Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Folsom, California

My root canal procedure was, by far, the best dental experience I have ever had....and I have had a LOT! Dr Hull and staff put me a ease the first visit, took their time to make sure every question was answered to my satisfaction and explained everything in detail. The day of the procedure they made sure that my every need and comfort was attended to. Today is day after and there is not a twinge of pain, soreness or tenderness that I typically exprience after a general filling. I cannot recommend him high enough! I wish I could see them for all my dental needs. read more

Absolute best ever! I cannot say enough about Dr. Young. He is truly gifted, kind and a credit to his profession. I was in agony and referred to his office for a potential root canal. Not only did I not have to have one, Dr. Young immediately arrested my pain. Wonderful across the board! read more

Dr. Janian was awesome - he was very friendly and professional - my root canal was painless. I would recommend Creekside to everyone!

This place is amazing. I had horrific dental pain and was referred here. I got a same day appointment and the front desk staff was lovely. I had a great dental hygienist who was professional and knowledgeable and Dr Scott Young was efficient, comforting, and knowledgeable. I am so grateful for the prompt care I received here. read more

I was so terrified about needing my first root canal. From the moment I called to make an appointment, every member of the staff that I interacted with was so kind, caring, friendly, and made me feel so comfortable. Procedure took a long time but never ever hurt, and they helped soothe my anxiety about the process. Got to look out the window at a beautiful Creekside setting which helps :-) Absolutely the best dental experience I have ever had! Wish they were full service Dental, maybe the fact that they only do one thing makes them so efficient and amazing. Hopefully I won't have another endodontic need but if I do, I will definitely be back. 100% recommend to friends and family! read more

Beware they only take Delta Dental insurance, but don't tell you that. I had an appointment scheduled and provided all my information, including insurance coverage, when they called to schedule it. I checked with my insurance before my appointment and found out they weren't contracted. When I called the office back to mention this she casually says no we're not you will just have to pay more since your insurance will cover a lesser amount. Um what?! I ask her why I was never told this when I provided my insurance information and she didn't even bother to answer my question. Seems pretty shady business practice to not inform patients they aren't in network with their insurance. Glad I checked before my appoint and a hefty bill. read more

I can highly recommend this place! Scheduling was fast and I barely had to wait for an appointment. The front office staff made a really good impression as they gracefully and professionally handled some stressful Monday morning schedule shenanigans. In the back everyone was efficient but friendly. I definitely felt cared for. Dr Janian worked some Endodontic magic and promptly fixed the issue I was having. If I ever need further endodontic treatment I will definitely be returning. read more

I believe Dr. Mark Young is the best Endodontist in North California! I had the privilege to work along side him, assisting him during treatment for a number of years. His level of skill made it look effortless while truly caring for everyone around him including his staff and patients. I can't recommend him enough. All of the doctors at Creekside Folsom are wonderful. If I EVER need a root canal and even lived across the United States I would try to jump on a plane to have him do the root canal!!!! I'm thankful that I was blessed and given the opportunity to work with such a wonderful person and team!!! read more

I would love to say I had a pleasant experience here for the procedure. The only downside is I was sent a bill claiming I owe 83$. I looked at my insurance, and the bill and I absolutely don't owe them anything. I was given a discount for paying cash up front, and now they want the discount money back? Pretty confused over this and irritated. read more

Not covered by our insurance but so worth paying out of pocket. They treated my daughter for a very bad injury to her mouth. They also did my root canal; they were so gentle I feel asleep. Everyone is very nice; so accommodating and caring towards my daughter. read more

It seems very strange to give a review on a root canal, but my experience was really really good. I had been putting it off for a few months as I had a bad experience with another dentist recently, now I'm wondering why it took me so long. The office was super friendly, the doctor and his assistant were awesome and the process was relatively quick. Today I am enjoying icewater for the first time. Thank you for the great experience read more

I visited Dr. Young today for a root canal and can honestly say I received 5-star treatment. His dental assistant was very informative and friendly and kept my mind at ease as I had a previous root canal that did not go well. After completing the initial scan and the standard stimulus tests of my tooth, Dr. Young did a great job of listening to me describe my symptoms and allowing me to come a decision of a root canal on my own. While I did not show any symptoms through these tests, he had me swish a small amount of cold water on the tooth and told me some times the tests can miss a nerve that is inflamed. He did not pressure me into having it but based on what I been experiencing I knew I was ready for one. When I explained that I do not get numb easily, he also did a great job of listening and ensuring me that I would be well anesthesized before he began. Sure enough when he started working on my tooth, I did not feel a thing. He worked quickly but was not rushing and it was over in no time. I know most endodontic treatment usually occurs through referrals from your primary dentist, but if you need to make a choice about an endodontist to visit, I highly suggest you visit Dr. Mark Young. read more

I am so happy I came to Creekside Endodonics! It was probably my best experience in a dental chair. I came here after being told by another Endodonics group they couldn't do my root canal.Dr Erik Young is such a sweet and caring person. He would stop several times and ask me how I felt and give me an update of how my tooth was looking. I felt he took his time and I had no pain at all. His assistant Tassanna was just as sweet. Everyone in this office seems very happy. Such a great experience. I would recommend Dr. Erik Young. They are very honest and professional. read more

Hands down the best place ever! I was seen by Dr Mark Young yesterday April 19,18 for a Root Canal. I had anxiety cause i don't numb so well. Dr Young reassured me that i would be ok and i shouldn't feel a thing. He and his staff (Lisa) took good care of me. I felt NOTHING! I love this place. I felt safe and respected. If you want a pain free experience this is the place to go. If i could i would give them 10 stars all day long. Thank you again to the Dr and Staff at Creekside Endodontics. Tonya C read more

I was extremely anxious going in for my root canal yesterday. I have had two previous root canals in the Sacramento area. I only wish my prior root canals were preformed by Dr.Young. From making my appointment, having my evaluation and then the actual procedure, my experience was very positive. I no longer have the fear and dread going in for a root canal thanks to Dr. young and his fantastic staff. I cant thank you enough! read more
