Dr Kristina is exceptional -- she took great care of me and got my pain under control right away. I honestly can't recommend her enough. The office is clean and the staff is wonderful. Rosa, Tina, Sonia and Annie especially stood out to me, but everyone there was great. Thank you to the whole team for taking such good care of me!

Let me preface this review by stating i've gotten 12 root canals at this office and have worked…read moreclosely on my health with Dr. Shagramanova over the last 10 years. Her expertise is unmatched, her bedside manner is best described as unbelievably patient-centered, understanding, and collaborative. She has made a big difference in undoing several years of poor dental health and prior botched root canals. Her pricing is fair for the product you are getting, and she has the most up-to-date state of the art facilities at her offices. I believe she prides herself on setting an industry standard and I know she attends and speaks at conferences to advise others in her field. I have watched her offices and patient base grow, and we all share the same comfort in knowing that we are treated with the utmost respect by her kind, energetic, enthusiastic, caring, and experienced staff that keep the offices running in an efficient and comfortable manner. I cannot recommend her enough. The staff are so quick about insurance and are informed about billing to ensure your claims are placed quickly and correctly. They've worked together for years and it seems like everyone there are truly happy to be working there. It is truly comforting to work somewhere that understands the intimate relationship between an endodontist and the patient - because her pain management is unmatched in what otherwise is a very painful procedure in my experience. She makes sure you are comfortable, prepared, aware of your treatment, and that you have a treatment plan with her that you have approved of and understand. Please give her a chance, you won't regret it and we are very lucky to have her! I go to the Glendale office, i've also attended the Santa Clarita office and have had great results.

After six years of unexplained jaw pain, Dr. John Lee at RootVision discovered my cracked and…read moreinfected tooth in less than 30 minutes and patiently answered all my questions. NOTE: This is NOT your father's root canal! I had no idea how much the procedure had modernized. Two numbing shots were the extent of any discomfort. No more jolts of pain as in decades past. From the front desk to the dental techs to the doctor himself and even billing, every step at RootVision was smooth, hassle free and, yes, pleasant! Wish I came here years ago. Thank you guys!

Took a little while - WORTH THE WAIT!…read more Cons: I checked in a few minutes early for my 2 PM. Waiting room was completely full - every seat filled. Was waiting about 45 minutes before I was taken back by a tech. Pros: Everyone I interacted with was super nice, apologetic about the delays, and very kind and professional. Dr. John Lee was EXCELLENT - when he got to me, he was patient, explained everything VERY thoroughly so I could understand what the issue is, what the potential treatment options are, and how I could/should proceed. He was understanding, courteous, and even took an extra step to ensure that I could leave with a course of treatment planned today instead of waiting for another round of x-rays to be sent from my regular dentist. I understand the wait - it was frustrating, but sometimes it happens. And the service I received afterward was absolutely worth it. I feel confident about proceeding with RootVision for my procedure, and Dr. Lee's manner and transparency were refreshing.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bandary and the team at Oakmont Endodontics. I went in…read morewith a complicated tooth issue that a couple of another provider seemed unsure how to handle, and Dr. Bandary was the first person who really took the time to dig into what was going on instead of rushing to the most convenient fix. What stood out most was how thorough the evaluation was -- Dr. Bandary walked me through exactly what was happening with my tooth, explained the different options, and was clear the goal was finding what would actually work best for my specific situation, not just getting me in and out. The procedure itself was handled with real skill and care. Dr. Bandary checked in throughout to make sure I was comfortable, and the follow-up care was just as attentive. The whole staff was warm and professional, and appointments never felt rushed. If you're dealing with a tricky tooth problem and want someone who will genuinely go the extra mile to get it right, I highly recommend Dr. Bandary and Oakmont Endodontics. Five stars, no hesitation.

Dr. Bandary quickly got me in, I was in so much pain. He explained everything about my root canal so thoroughly with me. He was extremely gentle & understanding.

They have all the latest equipment and Dr. Bandary really made sure to test out my tooth and asked all the necessary questions to ensure his treatment was accurate. I'm so thankful for this office and would recommend to anyone I know!

First off he actually took…read morethe time to listen my issues and address my concerns getting down to the root of the problem no pun intended When it was time to do the procedure for the root canal I was concerned about pain and how long it would take it.

The process took a couple hours but it felt like 30 mins. Afterwards a little bit of numbness and soar but not in any pain (He also mentioned I would feel this after the procedure). Highly recommend worth the wait and the traffic time to get there.

Each time, the front desk is rude, impersonal, and always different people (revolving door maybe). Dr. David is hit or miss. Sometimes he's warm and open to discussing questions. Other times he's cocky and seems very annoyed answering questions. When I asked questions about his findings, findings that weren't obvious, he was short in his answers and kept getting up to leave until I told him I had more questions. He may be good at what he does, but if a dentist has no bedside manners, I will spend the time finding someone else, which is what I did in this case. I won't be returning.

However, I was pleasantly surprised after being referred to this absolute gem of an office! From the moment I stepped through the door, everyone made me feel so welcome, comfortable, and safe. Mari and Dr. Vu were both incredibly gentle, attentive, and caring throughout my entire visit. I went in for a root canal, which I was definitely nervous about, but the entire procedure was easy and completely painless -- yes, I said **painless!** Even today, the day after my procedure, I feel great! I truly cannot recommend this office enough. The level of care I received completely changed my experience with dental work. I will absolutely be referring my friends and family here. Thank you, Mari, Dr. Vu, and the entire team for taking such amazing care of me!

The procedure was smooth and much faster than I expected--done in under an hour--and Dr. Safa made sure I was comfortable the entire time. He explained everything clearly, which really helped ease my nerves. What really stood out was his attention to detail. He even caught an issue with an older root canal from years ago that I had no idea about, which could have turned into a bigger problem down the road. Overall, I'm very grateful for the care I received. If you're dealing with dental pain or need specialized treatment, I highly recommend Dr. Safa.

Thank goodness for Dr. Odabashian!!! I got a second opinion from him and I'm so glad I did. I got a…read moreroot canal done by another endodontist but still had pain and tenderness. I grind my teeth at night and thought my Invisalign retainers were enough to protect my teeth at night. When I came to see Dr. Odabashian, he and his team fit me in a special nightguard so that my upper and lower teeth don't touch. My tooth tenderness is gone, my jaw is much more at ease and now hopefully future teeth issues will be prevented! I do not have to get a retreatment, which I was afraid might be the case! While the first endodontist correctly did my root canal, both he and my dentist didn't get to the "root" (no pun intended) of the problem. Dr. Odabashian identified that my night guard set up wasn't doing me any good. I'm so grateful for Dr. O's evaluation of my situation. He is also extremely calm and nice to work with. He takes a conservative approach which I appreciate and agree with. Thank you, Dr. O!

I was referred to Dr. Odabashian from my primary dentist due to an abscess that formed next to my…read morelower molar. After reviewing my x-rays, Dr. Obadashian determined that my abscess was caused from an infection that had spread, so he recommended that I receive a root canal. Hearing plenty of horror stories of how intensely painful a root canal procedure can be, I was surprised to find out that the procedure had minimal pain with Dr. Odabashian's care, experience, and equipment. My first impression of him was that his demeanor was very calm and confident. I also immediately picked up his wit and humor. These might be viewed as ancillary qualities, but as a patient it certainly made me feel more comfortable. After my first treatment session I felt I was in good hands. Dr. Odabashian was extremely thorough in explaining every step of the process and answering too many of my curious questions. His process was to not permanently fill my tooth after cleaning the root, but to temporarily fill it to wait and see how I healed before filling the gap permanently. This of course extends the treatment procedure and adds some more visits to his office, but I couldn't be happier knowing that he was not making any shortcuts to my treatment plan. Last, but not least, I have to praise his assistant and receptionist. Both have been extremely kind and communicative throughout my visits. You know you are in good practice when the staff are happy to be there! I couldn't be more satisfied with my referral to see Dr. Odabashian. If you need to see an Endodontist for a root canal, he is the dentist to go to!

I have gone to other endodontists that have put me in so much pain that I was always scared of going to another one. I found Dr Sadeghein last year where I needed a root canal.

I had to get a root canal retreat meant just last week because the first one done by my dentist was not done properly. He was able to retreat with no pain. Love this man!!!

I've seen many dentists, many of them good and unfortunately a few bad ones too. Once you find a…read moregreat dentist though, you hang onto them. I've been with my dentist for 17 years, 10+ of those years moved up to the Bay Area and making the 5-6hr commute back and forth. Well, life happens and during my last check with Most Awesome General Dentist; turns out I need a root canal and was recommended to Dr. John Pratte as a "Diplomate" dentist. What is that? I asked a robot and this is what I learned: Achieving diplomate status in dentistry, particularly for specialties like endodontics, is a prestigious accomplishment that represents the highest level of expertise in the field. Here's what it generally involves: 1. Advanced Education and Specialty Training: After earning a dental degree (e.g., DDS or DMD), a dentist must complete additional years of postgraduate training in their specialty, such as endodontics, periodontics, or orthodontics. This involves clinical, hands-on training and deep study of the specialty. 2. Board Certification: To become a diplomate, a dentist must pass rigorous board certification exams specific to their specialty. This typically includes: Written Exam: Testing the candidate's knowledge of all facets of their specialty. Clinical Exam or Case Presentations: Submitting complex case studies or undergoing a practical exam to demonstrate hands-on expertise and problem-solving abilities in their specialty. Oral Exam: Being questioned by a board of experts on clinical cases, treatment planning, and specialized knowledge to assess clinical judgment and expertise. 3. Experience and Case Portfolio: Many boards require candidates to complete and submit a portfolio of complex cases they've treated successfully, showcasing their proficiency and commitment to high standards of care. 4. Continuing Education and Recertification: Once they achieve diplomate status, many boards require ongoing continuing education and periodic recertification to ensure they remain up-to-date with advancements in their field. 5. Commitment to Excellence: Diplomates are often required to uphold strict ethical standards and demonstrate a commitment to advancing their specialty through research, teaching, or service within the professional community. In short, becoming a diplomate is a mark of dedication, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care in their specialty. It signifies that the practitioner has gone well beyond the basic requirements of dental practice. _______________________ So I just want to say that I highly appreciate the expertly skilled precision of Dr. Pratte's deft and nimble hands. He has a very professional demeanor while also being quite warm and personable. (And those diplomate credentials tell you that you're getting the very best of the very best!!!)

The overall Yelp rating is based upon patient experience and not the quality of service…read more Production of Service: My reception and technician experiences were good. However, the experience with Dr. Ahmad Sadeghein DDS--was not. He exhibits a high level energy (in his speech and body movement) accompanied by a loud voice--so when discussing patient care "other patients" may hear. I could not tell if he uses an indoor voice when discussing sensitive information with his patients. He had a friendly disposition but not personable. He spoke over me, literally (while reclining in the chair), standing most of the time at a distance and not within any close relational proximity to his patients. When he wasn't standing, he was seated behind me "talking to the back of my head" and he would instruct me to look at x-rays on a monitor that was distant from us both; and I said while I was looking at the screen "I understand what you're asking I just don't know what you're talking about or where I should be looking" he said "oh" and then came around to talk to me face-to-face. I observed him blurting out comments like "that tooth needs to go" "tooth needs to be pulled out" "too much work" "I don't do that" all while making "sighs" under his breath which was communicating his thoughts and feelings before he actually used words to describe and explain his thoughts and feelings. All of this, made me uneasy and frustrated which increased my anxiety about dental care, treatment and insurance. Most ppl would agree "going to the dentist is a nerve-racking experience" Dr. Sadeghein appears anxious "about anything" and therefore, made me, his patient uncomfortable and confused and complexed about what I should do and how I should proceed. Anything extra--i.e., additional information, do I have any questions or concerns--none. Unless, I asked or required him to provide more by my inquisitive nature. As a professional, I realize not everyone, in the position, to offer services and take your money is qualified to provide good public relations. "Public relations" is a skill and most professionals and doctors do not possess the ability to demonstrate the skills of communication, customer service care and patient management. I asked the receptionist is the doctor like this with everyone, she said "yes". I was there to observe him first-hand as I could hear him speaking while waiting in the lobby of his office. I wish Dr. Ahmad good health and hope, that he is willing to improve his public relations with his patients. I advise him not to assume that everyone will enjoy his type of courtesy, demeanor or treatment and care. And to further advise, Dr. Ahmad to consider this: if we can customize treatment and payment plans for patients--we too, can customize patient relationships by conforming to the patient's wishes and expectations (by matching body languages and using social cues) because once doctors begin standardizing patient relationships, we ultimately, will begin to standardize treatment, care plans and options--leaving patients without any. Either way, "my experience" is my own. And I encourage anyone; to either, welcome (his kind of relationship) or reject it---by their own admission and terms of high expectations of relational conditions. Part II: Customer Satisfaction I appreciate that Dr, Ahmad Sadeghein, was able to accommodate me without an appointment, considering my dentist's office recommended him. Moreover, their offices are next door to one another and they appear to have a collaborative relationship with "referral services" for the other. I was pleased with the services and ultimately, with his consultation. Although, he agreed to perform dental work for me--I declined because I accepted his advisement. Nonetheless, had I had the desire to have dental work done--I would have opted for another professional. Patient Beware
