My husband had a great experience with Dr Duggan who personally called us first thing in the morning and worked him in the same day when my husband was in excruciating pain and in need of a root canal. He came highly recommended by our dentist who we trust immensely, you don't want to mess around with stuff like this, it's important to go to an expert and Dr Duggan is that!!! read more

If you have any level of dental anxiety, please read. I went to Dr. Duggan for a root canal after being referred to his practice. I drove from Fredericksburg--a four-hour round trip--leaving my 7-month-old and taking an entire day off. Because he came recommended, I trusted I would be in good hands. I was understandably nervous. I've had root canals before and experienced significant pain afterward, so I communicated that anxiety openly. From the moment Dr. Duggan entered the room, his demeanor was dismissive and arrogant, but I tried to brush it off. As he began administering the numbing injections, my anxiety increased. Before the third injection, I asked to pause for a moment to collect myself. I even tried to lighten the moment by mentioning that I had labored naturally and wasn't sure why I felt so anxious. At that point, he had spent no more than five minutes with me total. His response was shocking. He became visibly frustrated and said, "You're wasting my time. You need to let me do my job or get out of this chair. I know what I'm doing--you don't." I was stunned. No patient--especially one who is anxious and vulnerable--should ever be spoken to this way by a medical professional. I sat up in the chair, in tears. He then made an incredibly condescending and inappropriate comment, saying, "How did you ever labor naturally?" and walked out of the room. I went to the waiting room and broke down. When my husband confronted him, Dr. Duggan denied everything. We left immediately. This was not simply poor bedside manner. It was unprofessional, demeaning, and completely unacceptable--particularly toward a young mother who simply asked for a moment of compassion. For a procedure costing $2,700, I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. Choose a provider who respects patients, listens, and treats people with basic human decency. read more

Dr. Duggan is the real deal. I had to get an apicoectomy done after a pretty bad tooth infection decided to make an appearance from a failed root canal. The original endodontist I saw couldn't get me in for surgery for another month, so I went to Dr. Duggan's office on a Thursday and he performed the apico that Monday. He took my concerns seriously and was incredibly professional, all while having a genuine bedside manner. The procedure went smoothly, everything is healing nicely, and I just got back from getting my stitches out. And, yes, it's true. He does give you his cell number just in case you have any questions or concerns before and after the procedure. A true class act and a literal life saver. You can tell he really enjoys what he does. Thank you, Dr. Duggan! (And thank you to the wonderful staff. Very real and nice people all around.) read more

I would like to highly recommend Dr. Duggan to my friends and family. He did such a wonderful job on my root canal. In the past, I went through a mentally scarring and traumatizing experience with a different dental surgeon, so (of course) I was dealing with a great amount of anxiety and fear. Dr. Duggan was calming, reassuring, professional and clearly great at his work. In addition, the office is warm and comforting, and the staff was so sweet, supportive, and understanding. Wonderful experience, as far as root canals go. read more

Gentle, precise and caring! If you are looking for an expert, Dr. Duggan is that! The office is impeccable and the staff are helpful and kind as well. Allow them to put you at ease that you are in the right place for quality care. read more

I was apprehensive about having endodontic work done, thanks to decades of stories about how painful it can be. Thank you, Dr. Duggan and staff, for the skill and thoughtful care that I experienced at your office! He kept me pain-free and informed during the whole process, and as a bonus, the view out of the treatment room windows is lovely. Highly recommended! read more

If you have a an issue such as a root canal or any endodontic issue, go see Dr. Duggan! He and his staff were incredibly kind, caring, professional, and then some! I was nervous as heck for my first root canal. From the moment I called his office to book the appointment, all the way through the entire process, it could not have gone any better. He even called me the day after my procedure to check in on me. He made what is often a very nerve racking experience an actually quite pleasant one. I felt virtually zero pain during and after the procedure. I will only go to his office for those issues moving forward. Whether in or out of network, he's absolutely worth the price. read more

When I was hit with a major tooth ache, Dr Duggan was able to see me quickly and performed a root canal within 24 hours of my call. Painless, quick, and effective. Dr Duggan followed up with a phone call the next day. Highly recommend. read more

Please just be aware that Dr. Duggan is not in any networks, so if you are lucky enough to have dental insurance, you may want to look further. He is very good at his job, but his office does not make that clear, although he said it was in the multiple documents I signed. It caught me off guard and his response to me was flippant. Since my dentist referred me, I thought he was in my network. It cost me an additional $538 dollars because of this. Just wanted others to do a bit more homework than I did. read more

Just excellent. No pain, quick procedure with fast healing time. I have had cleanings far more traumatic and claustrophobic than this. As they say, 10 out of 10, would recommend! read more

One of the lingering effects of covid has been big issues with my teeth. Shout out to Duggan Endodontics for fitting me in and staying late to do a root canal on the day they closed for the July 4th holiday because I was in pain and they didn't want to make me wait until Tuesday when they re-opened. Dr. Duggan even called me the next day to check on me. If you are looking for professional and compassionate care I highly recommend Dr. Duggan and his staff. read more

Dr. Duggan was great. Professional, honest, polite, and cares enough to follow up with his patients weeks afterwards to see how they are doing. Stand up guy. read more

Five stars, all the way! I am what is politely called an "apprehensive patient," but Dr. Duggan's manner is so kind and comforting that he really put me at ease. On my first visit, he gave me his cell number, so I could reach him anytime. After each visit, he personally called me the next day to see how I was doing. As I said later, "It's like it never happened" -- I now have a strong, painless tooth, no more troubles! If I ever have to have another root canal, I wouldn't go to anyone *but* Dr. Duggan. read more

I have been going to dr. Duggan for many years now. Previously, dentists have done my root canals and I have had atypical reactions with them. I didn't even know there was a specialist who does root canals. But after several instances getting very sick from root canals performed by dentists, I would never have a dentist do one again. I was referred to Dr Duggan and I'm so glad I was. I've had a few root canals performed by him. He typically does them in one visit while dentists always did them in two. But he does an excellent job. His staff is very professional and nice. If I moved out of Austin, I would fly in if I needed a root canal just so that doctor Duggan could do it. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Duggan if you're in need of endodontic services. He's straightforward, knowledgeable, informative, and thorough. His office has the latest in diagnostic and surgery equipment, and his pricing is fair and below other practices I was referred to. Even so, his preparation, advice and procedures are first rate. His assistant, Dustin, and Dr. Duggen are exceptionally well choreographed when performing procedures, and you are relaxed and comfortable knowing you're in capable hands. His personal call and after-procedure follow-up was much appreciated. His office manager, Janet, is friendly and accommodating. read more

I had to have a root canal re-treated in 2015 and tooth is still doing well. Highly recommend this dentist. I am smiling again everyday and so thankful for him, his compassion and dedication. His staff is wonderful as well. Wonderful place to go if you want top notch dental care. read more

I had an accident which required me to have a root canal on my front tooth. My dentist referred me to Dr. Duggan and I could not have been more impressed. From the ease of working with his office staff to the relatively quick and painless procedure, the whole experience was 5 stars. Hopefully I will never have to return, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Duggan to anyone else faced with this type of procedure. read more

I've sadly had to see Dr. Duggan multiple times throughout the years. I have severe anxiety when it comes to dentists and have cried in his office more than once. Let me tell you he makes me feel so incredibly comfortable. He has an amazing calming demeanor about him. I have never had any pain associated with my procedures. Hopefully I won't have to go back anytime soon but if I need another root canal it will always be with him! He's hands down the best and will alway recommend him to anyone I know. Also his front end staff are top notch! read more

Highly positive experience, as someone who is extremely phobic of dentistry in general. I was able to be seen same day, felt no pain during procedure, it was very quick and thorough, and staff is amazing. I could not have asked for more, and the follow up was sincerely appreciated after my procedure. read more

My daughter was told by a general dentist that she needed a root canal. I had such a great experience with Dr. Duggan that I told her to go see him. He gave her the same great care and attention that he gave me... AND ... told her she actually DIDN'T need a root canal! He could have performed the root canal and sent her on her way and we wouldn't have been the wiser. But Dr. Duggan always recommends whats in his PATIENT'S best interest and that makes him the ONLY endodontist that I will go to! read more

Wow! What a wonderful doctor and staff! I'm in the dental field and this is the place to go if you need a root canal. I had to have a root canal retreated and Dr Duggan was very gentle and explain to me all the process. Very professional. He also called after each visit to make sure is was going well. Customer service great! read more

Dr Duggan is in a league of his own. His direct, simple, and highly skilled! I was nervous getting my first root canal because I've heard stories from others but Dr Duggan and his staff made the experience so painless for me. read more

There is normally nothing good about having a root canal failure. It's painful, expensive and inconvenient. However, if you must, you should use Dr Duggan. He's very thorough and very upfront and honest about your options. He personally calls after each procedure and I felt completely comfortable with both him and his assistant Dustin. I will add, rather shamefacedly, that he's also incredibly hot. If you have to get tooth work done, why not have a hot man in your mouth? Really, that should be a life slogan. read more

I was referred to Dr. Duggan by my dentist because I required a pretty complicated root canal. I was nervous and arrived at his offices in a lot of pain with an equal amount of anxiety. Getting signed in and the paperwork done was effortless and the staff there was amazing in making sure I was comfortable. Dr. Duggan understood that I have very sensitive teeth (I know everyone says that, but really it is especially true for me.) He took his time and gave me multiple shots of anesthesia to make sure I was completely numb. Throughout the procedure he continued to ask how I was doing and kept me informed throughout the procedure. It truly did not hurt one bit!!! After the procedure he reviewed what he had done, even showed me digital pictures of the procedure to explain in detail what he had to do and then made sure to also explain after procedure care. It was the BEST experience I have ever had with a root canal (I have had a few.) I walked away being VERY impressed with the entire experience. Then a few days later I was even more impressed, as Dr. Duggan called me personally (not one of his staff, but himself) to ask how I was doing and check up on me. This is the kind of care that just is not the norm these days and something I am not used to. Then a few days later he called again! Also, I am not sure what the other reviewer was talking about concerning feeling that they were not informed about the payment and insurance information before the procedure, as it was reviewed with me TWICE before anything was done. The second review was by Dr. Duggan himself, and it was not rushed, he made sure point everything out in detail and explain everything. This was another area MUCH improved over other experiences in the past. He is truly the best. I don't know how often I will have a chance to recommend him, but I will any chance I get. Thanks again Dr. Duggan! read more

I can't recommend Dr Duggan more. I tell everyone I know to see him. I have terrible teeth after jaw surgery and have unfortunately been to him 4 times at this point. He is absolutely fantastic. If you see your general dentist for a root canal, you are silly!! It's honestly painless and quick bc of their technology and his expertise. Love him and his team. read more

Dr. Duggan was recommended by my dentist, Dr. Slaughter (who has been recognized as the best dentist in Austin) years ago. I went in to see Dr. Duggan, but didn't need any root canal work at the time. I appreciated Dr. Duggan's conservative style. He was only going to treat me if he was 100 per cent certain I needed the work. After a couple/few years, the same (flagged) area became abscessed. To say the least, I was in excruciating pain. Dr. Slaughter prescribed antibiotics immediately and a pain reducing regimen as well. I was able to get in to see Dr. Duggan a couple of days later. There are many things I appreciated about Dr. Duggan and his long tenured staff. They were friendly, professional, and excellent at what they do. Dr. Duggan was absolutely masterful in his ability to quickly and compassionately move through every aspect of what ended up being a relatively uneventful root canal procedure. I was thoroughly impressed, and told them so. I have believe that Dr. Duggan is the top endodontist in Austin, if not the state of Texas. I highly recommend Dr. Duggan as well as Dr. Slaughter.

What makes an ordinary doctor "extraordinary" are all the wonderful experiences I encountered during my visit with Jason Duggan, DDS on October 22, 2018, for a root canal. Below include the reasons why I am taking time out of my busy schedule to tout Dr. Duggan as an elite endodontist in the City of Austin: 1. Dr. Duggan gave thoroughly reasonable answers to my questions regarding the relationship between oral health and overall health and why root canals (when done correctly) are reliably safe and effective. 2. Dr. Duggan made me feel comfortable asking questions by exhibiting politeness, patience, and composure. 3. Dr. Duggan used a state-of-the-art dental microscope and X-Ray equipment for precise diagnosis and treatment of my tooth infection. 4. Dr. Duggan called me on my mobile phone the next day to ask how I felt and if I had remaining questions or concerns before my next appointment (Phase II of my root canal - the filling). And as a bonus: Dr. Duggan's front-desk receptionist, JK, found ways to schedule appointments that work well with my work schedule. So, there you have it - if you need an endodontist you can trust, take it from me - a patient - choose Dr. Jason Duggan! read more

I went in completely nervous for 2 root canals today. Dr. Duggan and his team were able to calm me down and talk me through the process. I even had someone with me in the room the whole time which made me more comfortable. My procedure seemed quick, and I believe I was in and out of sleeping. I felt that Dr. Duggan took good care of me through the process by being quick and efficient with his tools. 7 hours later, I'm still numb but I never once felt pain or anything uncomfortable (besides the initial numbing shot - but I've learned that THOSE are your friend!). I'm glad I was referred to a specialist who truly took care of me. Great experience for someone like me who has had multiple mouth issues/conditions. Thanks Dr. Duggan & team! read more

Dr. Duggan and his team are truly some of the best in their field and they make getting a root canal as painless and easy as possible. I've had to go to Dr. Duggan for two root canals in the past few years. One after flying home from a work trip in excruciating pain due to an inflamed tooth. I got off the plane, drove straight to my dentist, who then referred me to Dr. Duggan, and they were able to get me in that same day for a consultation. They confirmed the need for a root canal and I was scheduled to come in for the treatment the next day. I have pretty bad dental anxiety so I took their anxiety meds in advance and it worked like a charm. I was in and out in an hour and recovery was easier than most dental work. I had been in so much pain that I was THRILLED to have had the root canal and be back to my normal self. Two years later, I had to return for my second root canal. Thankfully this one was under far less stressful circumstances. I had a tooth that had been bothering me for some time. I went to my normal dentist and had a crown done and a month later I was still feeling some annoying sensitivity. I knew I needed a root canal but was hopeful the pain would go away. When it didn't, I scheduled a consult and they got me in quickly. They placed me at the end of the day so they could squeeze in the treatment on the same day if I needed it. Turns out I did and they were able to get started quickly. Something about my canals not healing well or bleeding too much led them to halt treatment mid-way through and I had to go back a few weeks later to finish. It was fine though and the second appointment was quick. I felt a bit of pain but he gave me a heads up that I might feel something which I appreciated greatly. I was done in an hour and back to work. He even called me after each visit to make sure I was doing OK. Nice touch. Overall, I can't recommend Dr. Duggan and his team enough. They are pros. read more

I can't say enough how smooth and impressive my experience with Dr. Duggan and his team was. The ease, thoroughness and professionalism truly stood out and his follow up was beyond impressive. I went in for just a root canal and it was the quickest, smoothest and best experiences ever. He personally called me the next day after each appointment to follow up and see how I was. My orthodontist also commended at the "perfect" root canal he performed. He seamlessly coordinated with both my orthodontist and dentist to share with them what he had done. Between the amazing view in his office and high skill I almost fell asleep both times. When have you said that about getting a root canal?! Beyond pleased with Dr. Duggan and his team. read more

So dentists may not get many rave reviews, hey, they're not pizza! But Dr. Duggan of Duggan Endodontics did my root canal recently and he did a fantastic job. Ultra professional, and he provided a clear picture of the costs and what I needed to do after the procedure. He also called me the next day to see how I was doing. I know that root canals don't usually get rave reviews either but they're part of adulting. If you need a root canal, get Dr. Duggan to do it. You'll be glad you did. read more

Do not under any circumstances use Duggan Endontics without first reading the "fine print". He DOES not take anyones dental insurance, nor do they tell you that until AFTER you have the work done. This is deceptive, and ethically wrong. My wife had work done, and upon finding out that they did not take any insurance, we complained that we should have been advised beforehand! A "compromise" was reached and Duggans office agreed to let us pay over time. They then turned us over to a collection agency without notifying us first. Use their services at your own risk! read more

I had a very poor experience with Dr. Duggan. He lacks appropriate bedside manner, and was very impatient with me. The root canal was aborted half way through - he was unable to get the pain under control! I ended up having it completed by another endodontist. read more

Dr. Duggan and his team are awesome all the way around. They are knowledgeable, methodical, and just do a great job!! I am a dental professional myself so when I needed endodontic treatment i knew who to turn to. I know what a good root canal should be and Dr. Duggan is truly one of the greats!! read more

I went to Dr. Duggan through a referral from Dr. Wellik, my dentist. I thought Dr. Duggan did a terrific job, and made the root canal a much more tolerable experience for me than past dental procedures. If you are unfortunate enough to need a root canal, see this guy. read more

I second Tracy's review as the same thing happened to me. This Dr is not a dentist, he's a saleman. If you go in for a root canal, he WILL persuade you one is not enough, it's always better to do 2 or even 3 at the same time. Costs too high? can't afford it? no problem, he will give you a 'easy pay no interest' credit card application to help out. Oh the insurance? sure, he takes everything.. until AFTER you go out. So, if you do decide to go see this 'Doctor', remember to READ the 'fine print' and prepare to put up a fight afterwards. oh, also, check out those flying 5-star review, ain't he a great saleman? ps. I signed up for yelp for the first time so that i can post review for this great dentist.. hopefully it can help somebody before going in.. read more

I had to see Dr. Duggan for a consult and was referred by my dentist. The only pain was the entrance/exit of their parking garage. That's nothing to take away from. Dr. Duggan and staff was beyond friendly and helpful. He even gave me his cell number in case of emergencies. It is true that they're not in network with any insurance. They were very upfront and forthcoming with that and their payment policies. read more

The day I got my braces off still ranks as the single best tooth-related experience I have ever had, but today, many many moons later, my experience at the office of Dr. Duggan ranks an enthusiastic second. Dr. Duggan and his assistant Dustin work together like proverbial clockwork. I believe all they do is root canals, and when you do only one thing, and you do it a lot, you tend to get really good at it. Both men, as well as Janetkay the office manager, are warm, patient, professional, welcoming, efficient, and really nice. Before any work is done, they take the time to make sure you understand their payment policy and your financial options. The office itself is very peaceful and calming. It's quiet--there's no icky office Muzak playing in the background--and from the patient's chair, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a gorgeous view of Shoal Creek and trees trees and more trees. A painless root canal coupled with an aesthetic experience sounds a little weird, but that's what I experienced here. As other reviewers have noted, Dr. Duggan has the perfect bedside manner, confident and caring. I wish he could be my general dentist. If you're unlucky enough to need a root canal, my empathy and my condolences. Now take care of yourself and make an appointment with Dr. Duggan. read more

My dentist sent me to Dr Duggan for a root canal on a tooth that had been bothering me for several months and then suddenly became more consistently painful. This was not my first root canal, but it was my first visit to an endodontist for one. From the moment I set foot in the office, I was put at ease by Janetkay and then by clinical assistant Dustin, and finally by Dr Duggan himself. My "demon tooth" required a two-visit root canal (totally no fun) but Dr Duggan made sure both times that I had no pain during the procedure(s). As root canals go, this was an excellent experience and should I need any more (as I have a feeling I will, because I'm lucky like that ;) I intend to return to these folks for another great experience. :) read more

Dr. Duggan is wonderful. Having to go to an endodontist is scary, but Dr. Duggan has, hands down, the best bedside manner of any doctor I've ever been to. He has done root canals for both my wife and me and has saved multiple teeth. I trust him completely. Note that he is not a preferred provider for any insurance network, so he isn't cheap, but you are getting what you pay for. To the people posting 1-star reviews, their website clearly states their financial/insurance policy. And if you ask, they can submit pre-treatement estimate to your insurance company so you can understand exactly what will/won't be covered. read more
