Highly recommend! My dentist recommended Dr. John Oganeysan to perform my root canal. I was super nervous, but it was actually totally fine. They provide weighted blankets, a neck pillow, stress balls to squeeze and other items to help you be more comfortable and relaxed, and Dr. Oganesyan was incredibly gentle. A root canal procedure is probably one of the few experiences where "not bad!" is a rave review, but it was truly painless, physically and emotionally. I was frankly shocked. Particularly if someone is very nervous or worried about pain, this is the practice to go to. read more

I was absolutely terrified to get a root canal, especially since mine was in a complicated location between teeth. I went in extremely anxious, but the staff was incredibly kind and reassuring, and the office on Wilshire is beautiful, modern, and spotless. The doctor was amazing. I usually have extreme sensitivity, yet I didn't feel a single thing during the entire procedure--no pain or discomfort at all. Truly the best dental experience I've ever had. Five stars isn't enough. Highly recommend! read more

Meticulous work and kind people. I have had two different procedures here and I was very happy with both experiences.

Both of my experiences at Downtown Endodontics were wonderful, one time as a patient and then when my dad was a patient. Dr. John is so thorough, took his time to explain everything to us, and overall offered the most painless and comfortable visit. The staff was very kind and professional. Also, the office was very clean, modern, and comfortable. Overall, very pleasant experience and I highly recommend Dr. John! read more

I can't thank Dr. Oganesyan and his team enough for the excellent care I received. I came to his office in pain and frustration after a poorly done root canal by another dentist left me with ongoing issues. The doctor carefully assessed the damage and explained everything in detail--from what went wrong with the previous procedure to the steps they would take to fix it. I immediately felt I was in the right hands. The difference in care and precision was night and day. The procedure itself was efficient and surprisingly painless. Dr. Oganesyan used advanced imaging and techniques to clean and seal the area properly. They even followed up after the treatment to make sure I was healing well and comfortable. I highly recommend. read more

Honestly from making an Appointment with Alex, the parking structure/ entrance to the building, not waiting in the waiting room past my appointment time was the best experience I could have ever had before any dental appointment. Dr John Oganesyan was so professional explaining everything step by step, even when he was operating on my tooth he was explaining everything he did. Reassuring me every step of the way and telling me when it will be over. Overall a very pleasant and positive experience. The office was super clean too , I truly can't say anything negative about the practice or the doctor. 10/10 read more

I received a referral from Dr. Caliguiri to see Dr. Oganesyan. I couldn't be happier with the excellent care that I received and experience overall! The staff was welcoming and so very helpful, especially Alex! Dr. Oganesyan was fantastic in answering all my questions and explaining each step of the process in thorough detail. I received a post-procedure call from the office to make sure I was doing ok with no complications. I highly recommend this office! Great communication and I felt in good hands and taken care of every step of the way. Thanks again! read more

From front of desk customer service to quality of dental service I received, everything was excellent. I've been to make dental offices and seen many doctors. This place was professional but also very kind and the work done on my tooth was excellent with great attention to detail. Highly recommend. read more

Doctor Oganesyan and the team here at downtown endodontics are truly a gem. I was referred and seen impeccably on short notice. their kind office team was very accommodating with their schedule and explaining my custom plan to me. they also offered great advantages for financing which was something I was very concerned about. I had a root canal there last week and I couldn't be happier with the results. extremely kind and professional people. thank you! read more

I have been going to Dr. John for over a year . He came highly recommended by a trusted family member. My case was very challenging due to the unique anatomy and the location of the tooth. Dr. John shared all of my options during our first meeting. We chose the most conservative option. So far. I have not needed to pursue other more drastic measures. And I do not experience any pain or discomfort. Dr. John has excellent hand skills, he is extremely gentle, yet very effective. I do not experience pain during or after each procedure. He is extremely professional and uses the most-up-to date technology to assess the need for treatment. He is kind. considerate and calm in his approach. His assistant and office staff are professional. consistent and highly skilled. The front desk staff are prompt in scheduling appointments,sending reminders and confirmations . I highly recommend Dr. John and his office for any endodontics treatments. read more

I chose this office because of all the reviews and this was a reminder to not rely on reviews. I had an appointment with this office and although I have things to say about the doctor - I will keep this at interactions with Alex. I've interacted with Alex a few times and I was willing to let it all go until today. At the end of the appointment I did not want to sign the papers that had pricing - because I did not agree to that price - especially that I had asked for a discount as a cash patient. His response was to sign it and that it doesn't matter if the price is different. If it doesn't not matter then why do I have to sign it? I don't sign anything unless I agree to it. Since then I've interacted with Alex a few times to obtain and send the X-Rays and CT scan to other offices for a second opinion. Not only Alex RUDELY has put the phone close to his mouth when he wants to talk over you - in order to sound much louder and stop you from talking, which has happened a few times - he's been also HIGHLY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE multiple times by his tone and how he responds. He also went as far as telling me today that they're providing the images out of "courtesy"! This is after I told him another office was not able to see the CT scan. I have paid IN FULL for the x-rays and CT scan and he actually said that "we", meaning their office, are providing the images as "courtesy"! I believe it's completely unprofessional to interact with patients as he has from his highly passive aggressive interactions to blatantly saying providing my images - which I have paid in full for - is a courtesy! This is exactly how you break trust with patients. Alex doesn't seem to think and examine the fact that patients have a right to obtain the x-rays and CT scan they have paid fully for. Patients also have a right to Freedom of Speech and however he chooses to interact with them and how he makes a business agreement sound as a favor rather than a service the patient has paid fully for - can rightfully be shared as a review. I can easily blog about my experience as well, but I'll keep it at this review unless I have a reason to expand sharing my experiences further. read more

Everyone who works in the office is so kind and accommodating. Dr. Oganesyan has been nothing but helpful and understanding. They do great work with a gentle touch. I can proudly say my fear of the dentist is disappearing thanks to them! I would recommend this office 100% read more

I have had great experience at the office. It was efficient and painless. Equipment was modern, check out process was fast. I wish everyone to have such pleasant time while getting their teeth done. read more

What a waste of time. I found this endodontist through Google's great reviews and called for a second opinion on an infected tooth. Alex told me the CT scan would be free, but after giving my insurance info, they said I'd owe $204 for the scan. When I questioned it, Alex denied ever saying it was free. I offered $150, which he accepted--until he demanded payment before I saw the doctor. I refused, and they canceled the visit. Truly shady office. Glad I walked away. read more

Dr Oganesyan and his team were fantastic in accommodating for a last minute appointment and the quality and speed of their care. I had called early in the morning and was able to make a same day consultation and procedure appointment. i am now 4 days post opp and my tooth is feeling great and have no pain. I would absolutely recommend Downtown Endodontics to all my friends and family and am very grateful for all who work there. read more

Wow. I am impressed with Dr. John and his Downtown Endodontics office. I was scared, and from My first call to their office (Alex), I felt taken care of... They followed up to get me an appointment, since I had an emergency. Their office runs like a Swiss clock, so flowing through the office and getting x-rays was smooth and comforting. The doctor was fantastic. I was initially concerned as he seemed on the younger side. But he was AWESOME. Feeling grateful. Thanks. read more

Just had a root canal with Dr. Oganesyan and shockingly, it was honestly a great experience. I have a lot of dental anxiety, but he and his team were super patient and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. The dr is professional but laid-back, with a great bedside manner. Maria was especially sweet and calming, and both she and Alex in the front office were so easy to work with. Highly recommend if you're nervous about dental stuff because this team really gets it. read more

I had two procedures done at this facility and was extremely happy with their professionalism and experience. They were very accommodating and nice. Highly recommended!! read more

The doctor took the time to make me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions. I was able to feel comfortable and wasn't in any pain following the procedure. Everyone there is fantastic and followed up with me after. I got a root canal done and was nervous but with the great staff and great doctor made me feel better about everything overall. It's two day after the procedure and I feel no pain. read more

Dr. Oganesyan is incredibly gentle and professional. I am 4 weeks post partum and was experiencing extreme tooth pain with cold and hot sensitivity. He accurately diagnosed me and I was able to get a root canal the same day. Dr. Oganesyan made sure I was comfortable every step of the way and his calm confident approach immediately put me at ease. Thank you Dr. Oganesyan, Alex, and Leticia! I am so grateful for making my experience so wonderful and smooth. read more

Dr. Oganesyan provides expert dental care! He and his team have mastered customer service! It was so refreshing to experience pleasant & knowledgeable staff all around.

I only wish they could be my general dentist too. Highly recommend to anyone in the DTLA area looking for top-notch endodontic care. read more

Dr Oganesyan and everyone at this office are absolutely wonderful. I had a consultation with him and he actually did my root canal in the same visit so I don't have to come back. I really liked his calm demeanor. He did a very great job and I definitely recommend him. The staff are all so professional and kind. The dental assistants are so helpful and Alex who works at the front desk is truly a gem which made this experience surprisingly so easy and enjoyable. read more

I had an emergency referral to Downtown Endodontics. The front desk staff was able to get me in to see the doctor. They were very informative and helpful. The office was clean with a calming decor and music. The staff assisting the doctor had a confident and calm demeanor and explained the prep work. The doctor had a calm and professional demeanor about him, diagnosed me and explained my situation. After I agreed to the procedure and the doctor completed the treatment and then after explained what was done. I left the office well informed of the procedure and with no more pain. Days later I received a follow up call to se how I was doing. I would highly recommend DownTown Endodontics. read more

Very good dental surgeon who was able to pinpoint the issue with my tooth, and did a flawless job in fixing it. Also was very kind in explaining everything and answering all my questions. Very trustworthy. I would recommend him. read more

Incredibly professional, caring and high quality office! Dr Oganesyan gave a second opinion on a failed root canal I had done years ago and redid the work successfully, saving me from needing an implant. I'm so thankful I went to their office. I can't recommend the entire team enough for their care and thoroughness. I've had multiple appointments, consults and follow ups over the last year. Alex was great to work with every time and scheduling was easy. Thank you Downtown Endodontics!! read more

I hate the dentist passionately. The thought of getting a root canal... awful, awful, awful (let alone TWO!!!!). But the doctors and staff at Downtown Endodontics made the experience so much more bearable. They drugged me up good I only cried a little (just from the drilling sound, I think I have sensory issues). Alexander at the front desk is a doll. If your teethed are messed up, go here. Trust. read more

Such a smooth and great experience with this doctor and the front desk. I went for a second opinion and the doctor went out of his way to try something on a tooth I was having sensitivity with and also offered an option another doctor didn't that could save my tooth. Very grateful I found this office read more

I arrived with an ongoing pain in one of my teeth for a consultation with Dr. Oganesyan. The office environment was calm, well outfitted and clean. Two and a half hours later I emerged with my needed root canal complete. I have had very little pain and needed just two tylenols the evening of the procedure. The insurance co payment and explanation of care needed was handled in a very nice manner. I highly recommend this doctor and his kind and skilled staff. read more

I usually get anxious going to a dental appointment, but I felt very comfortable and at ease. The staff is awesome and very friendly. Could not have asked for a nicer team read more

I am satisfied with the service here. It's a bummer to need root canals or tooth work done, but my experience here has always been good. The providers are always clear in explaining what is needed and what is the concern. Also in explaining any limitations they may have in being able to provide care for you. Fitting you in when you are in pain, demonstrating empathy and compassion is very prevalent here. 5 stars for Alex in front office always the best. A final recommendation: please remember when your patient is in pain, they need your help NOW, not in 2 days. Suffering through is opening up for more complications & it's not a good patient experience. Fortunately I've only had to utilize this service 2-3 times, but when I've needed it, it's obviously because there is an issue. Whether a root canal or a deep clean, it feels like a punch in the jaw and very sensitive to any pressure. read more

See all

World class service and professionalism. I'm so glad I found this office. They're fantastic.

GO HERE. I needed a root canal and am so glad I found Dr. Oganesyan after searching around for a while. Every single person I interacted with at the office was extremely nice, informative and comforting. The entire procedure was explained to me step by step and Dr always made sure I was comfortable. The procedure took maybe 45 minutes and I didn't feel a single thing. He administered anesthetics multiple times until I gave him confirmation I was absolutely numb. Can't recommend Dr. O enough, thank you so much!! Don't second guess, book an appointment. The cost was beyond extremely reasonable compared to the 5 other quotes I received. read more

Wow. What a positive experience at Downtown Endodontics. I was nervous, as I didn't have a referral, and was simply looking at their website and Yelp reviews. Major dental work is so scary, and their office is top-notch. Super professional from the minute you call the office (Alex). When I arrived in person, they flowed me through the X-Rays and Consult smoothly. Dr John seems brilliant. When I checked the website, I was admittedly a little concerned because he seemed young. But of the three specialists I met with this month, he was tops. Analytical, calm, human, technically sound. Feeling grateful. Thanks. read more

Dr. John Oganesyan and his staff at Downtown Endodontics did an OUTSTANDING job. They did both an Xray and CT scan of my problem areas and Dr Oganesyan sat down to carefully explain the issues and what needs to be done. I was extremely apprehensive about doing the root canal but he was very patient. He was very professional and had a light touch. This is my FIRST EVER painless root canal! He did GREAT work! His office has the latest technology, extremely clean, and his staff was on top of it. Attentive and superb! If you need a root canal, THIS IS THE OFFICE TO GO TO! read more

As soon as I left the office, I knew I had come to the right place. The care I received and the comfort I felt throughout the entire procedure were top tier. I've been raving about the quality and attention to detail ever since! I highly recommend Dr. O to anyone--this is definitely a place I'll return to if needed. read more

Dr Oganesyan did a root canal for me and the experience was great. The infection was apparently significant enough to require a couple of treatment visits, but it was worth it to have the problem completely resolved. There's nothing quite like having a pain like that resolved so quickly, and I'm grateful for his clinical judgment and skill. I also appreciated how Alex at the front desk was friendly and helpful in handling the logistics of insurance. The office is in a medical office building right next to Good Samaritan hospital. For anyone in the DTLA / Westlake / Koreatown area, I highly recommend Dr Oganesyan if you're ever in the situation of needing a root canal. read more

Dr. John and his staff reflect class, kindness and absolute professionalism. I highly recommend!
