Amazing skills and quality of care is why we are recommending this office. They take excellent care of all their patients

Even though I got my work done two years ago, I felt Dr. Ellie deserves a 5 star review. Why? After taking me with a root canal and resorption issue on a tooth, she helped fix what most endodontists couldn't do (or dentists thought could not be saved). Some magic skills. After having some insufficient post-care work done by another office, she was kind enough to want to check on me to make sure I was ok and the tooth was still good. She was so nice and made some strong recommendations on what to do for next steps. All because she cares a lot about her patients and her work! read more

Update: over 2 months later they contacted me saying I still had not paid the full amount of my procedure. I was confused since I paid out of pocket over 1K (that seemed like too much) and insurance covered 60%. They stated that My insurance didn't pay the amount they thought they would and I owed them the rest. I thought this was bad practice to come back over a month or two later to the client and ask for more money. Especially considering all the tech issues and waiting I dealt with during my appointment/ procedure. This doesn't seem professional or right but I decided to pay the rest off over time, they have been patient & understanding about that. I don't understand why this costs so much for one tooth. The receipts are messed up so I cannot see the itemized amounts of what each cost is. read more

Dr. Ellie is incredible. My mom was dealing with serious tooth pain over a long holiday weekend, and Dr. Ellie was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. Even while she was traveling, she took time after hours to call the pharmacy and help get my mom some relief. We really appreciate how much she went above and beyond! read more

Elite Endodontics is a find I can't thank Dr Ellie enough for making my root canal as good of an experience as can be had. It is a testimony to the amazing Clinician she is. read more

I do not usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to after my experience at Elite Endodontist. I went into my appointment expecting it to be stressful, and it ended up being the complete opposite. Dr. Elham was reassuring. During the procedure she was attentive and gentle, always checking in to make sure I was comfortable, and everything felt much easier than I thought it would. I left feeling relieved and genuinely impressed. The staff also played a big part in the overall experience. Everyone was kind, professional, and easy to talk to, and the office ran smoothly from check in to the end of the visit. Nothing felt rushed or tense at any point. Overall this was a surprisingly positive experience for a dental procedure, and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Elham and her team to anyone looking for an endodontist who truly cares about patient comfort. If you want one last tweak like making it shorter, more casual, or even more "real," I've got you read more

I had a great experience at Elite Endodontics. Doctor Shadmehr's expertise was evident in every step of the procedure and she explained everything clearly, checked in often, and made sure I was completely at ease. If you need an endodontist, this is the place to go. read more

Unfortunately, I needed a root canal. I was in tremendous pain that was not going away. I was worried about many aspects of the situation. Dr. Ellie was able to fit me in via referral. I was very impressed with the crisp and clean look and feel of the office and technology in the rooms when we went through the initial assessment. Dr. Ellie walked me through her findings and concerns along with how best to move forward on the immediate needs and what we should think about in the longer term. Working through the procedure, she was careful and thoughtful throughout and made the best of not a fun chunk of work. She explained what made sense to explain during her work without slowing everything down. She reaffirmed status at critical points to provide calm and confidence for me that I was in good hands and the findings of the assessment work were very worth it. Her empathy, wisdom, and skill was all on display. I am very thankful. I cannot recommend her more. read more

It was an easy and professional couple of visits. I was referred here from my regular dentist and Elite Endodontics got me in right away and took care of my root canal and other issues promptly. I am very satisfied with their service and Dr. Rubio was great! read more

Yes knowledgable DR.....But!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was hit in the head with ct then realized my hairlip was still in while he already took one ct! then had to do another. ((THIS WAS AFTER A PRIOR CT in another office)) when the cd and memory stick did not work from referring dr. THEN....his staff charged me and my insurance when they said they would not bill. So Yes the Dr is Great knew he could not help me. Paid $200 for visit. Basically got referred in circles paid periodondentist then was referred to this dr only to be referred again. His office is very nice but Dr showed up to work at time of my appt. then rushed thru everything after that so I guess that is why I was billed and zapped? THEY DID FIX issue so I have to give them that credit. read more

The office environment is nice , clean and friendly. I really liked Dr. Shadmehr for her friendly demeanor. Dental work is not all that comfortable so I really care if the Dr. is responsive to our pain cues and she was very responsive . I came out of office both times for my root canals feeling happy and Ok. I do recommend her for your endodontic needs. read more

I had a huge crack in one of my molar. My tooth was sensitive for a week. My dentist referred me to Dr. Shadmehr for a root canal treatment. Dr. Shadmehr is amazing. She checked my tooth and it had a huge cavity, but ended up not needing a root canal. Dr. Shadmehr did a filling on my tooth instead. She is more than an endodontist. The whole experience was great. I did not feel any pain from the treatment. She is amazing and I would definitely recommend her! read more

cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Elite Endodontist. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. The entire staff is professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. They made what could have been a stressful procedure feel calm and manageable from start to finish. Dr. Elham is truly exceptional. She took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly before starting, which immediately put me at ease. Her knowledge, confidence, and gentle approach were evident throughout the entire procedure. She consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable and pain-free, and I honestly felt like I was in the best hands possible. What stood out the most was her patience and compassion. She never rushed, answered all of my questions thoughtfully, and made sure I understood exactly what was happening every step of the way. The procedure itself was incredibly smooth, and I experienced far less discomfort than I ever expected -- a true testament to her skill and precision. The staff deserves just as much praise. Everyone was friendly, organized, and genuinely caring. From scheduling to check-in to post-procedure care, everything was seamless. They were reassuring, efficient, and made sure I felt supported the entire time. If you are looking for an endodontist who is not only highly skilled but also kind, patient, and truly invested in their patients' comfort and well-being, I cannot recommend Dr. Elham and Elite Endodontist enough. This was hands down one of the best dental experiences I've ever had, and I'm incredibly grateful to have found such an amazing team. read more

What can I say about Dr. Ellie and Elite Endodontics other than they are AMAZING? I received a referral for a consultation exam on a tooth that I had a previous root canal on several years ago, and I was expecting to hear that the tooth needed to be extracted and was unsalvageable. However, that was definitely not the case. I received a phone call the day my referral was made to set up my exam and confirm my insurance information in advance. Upon arrival at the office, I was able to park in the building's garage and avoid the limited outside parking due to Stonestown Mall. As soon as I got upstairs (2nd floor), I was greeted by the wonderful receptionist, who quickly handed me an iPad to fill out my information. This was a pleasant surprise, as you often have to handwrite your information on paper at other offices. As soon as I had filled out the information and handed it back to the receptionist, Rosie, the dental assistant at the office, called me in. She quickly confirmed my details and took the needed X-rays. They used a new 3D CBCT machine to take a full X-ray of my mouth. It was swift and painless. (Have you ever had to bite down on those metal bars when doing a typical dental X-ray?), Immediately after completing the X-rays, I was escorted to another room, where I could sit down and relax while I waited for Dr. Ellie to arrive. She was busy with another patient, but made sure to stop by to greet me and let me know she would be right back. After my consultation and exam were completed, Dr. Ellie was able to explain everything happening with my mouth via the 3D X-ray and advised that she could immediately start the root canal if I chose to. It was refreshing that the office had pre-planned the availability to immediately handle the needed dental treatment without requiring me to make another appointment in the future. I obviously chose to proceed with the root canal at that moment, and I was done within an hour. Dr. Ellie and Rosie were so kind and explained everything to me to build the confidence I needed, as I am usually scared of dental visits, and my anxiety can increase. The actual root canal surgery was easy compared to the last time. Dr. Ellie applied multiple shots of Novocain to the affected area, ensuring I would be pain-free. She continually checked on my pain level and overall condition throughout the procedure. After it was completed, she took the time to review the after-care instructions in-depth. She provided guidance on managing the expected pain after the Novocain wore off, as well as what to do between the visit and my follow-up with my primary dentist for the crown placement next week. She even provided me with a textable number for after-hours needs in case of emergency or questions. I cannot say enough about Dr. Ellie and her team. The overall care I received, along with the excellent customer service, was genuinely appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Ellie and Elite Endodontics for any of your dental needs. read more

Dental insurance can be very confusing to deal with. It is important to have a dentist and dental team that communicates clearly with you. I had some confusion about the bill I received but was treated with respect and patience when I asked questions. The team went above and beyond making sure I could save money where it was possible. My root canal was completed three months ago and I have had no pain since then. I highly recommend Dr. Shadmehr and her team. read more

I went to Dr. Ellie Shadmehr because I was looking for help whitening a tooth I had a root canal on more than 5 years ago. I can't thank Dr. Ellie enough for the incredible job she did with the internal tooth whitening. From the moment I walked into her office, I felt at ease with her warm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to explain the procedure in detail and answered all of my questions patiently, which really reassured me. The results speak for themselves - my smile has never looked better! The discoloration from the root canal is completely gone, and my teeth look noticeably brighter. I'm beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. Not only is Dr. Ellie a skilled professional, but she genuinely cares about her patients' satisfaction and comfort throughout the process. She even made sure before we began the process to check that my teeth were all healthy. It really shows she cares more about doing the right thing for her patients than the $. The entire experience was transparent and pleasant, thanks to Dr. Ellie and her wonderful team. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to enhance their smile. Thank you again, Dr. Ellie, for your expertise and exceptional care! read more

I have complete confidence in this practice! read more

I can't say anyone wants a root canal, but if you need one, Dr. Ellie Shadmehr is the absolute best! I've had two root canals with her in the past six months, and both experiences were incredibly smooth. From the moment you walk into the office, the staff is warm and welcoming. Dr. Ellie Shadmehr herself is not only highly skilled but also kind, patient, and reassuring. She explains everything clearly, checks in throughout the procedure to make sure you're comfortable, and genuinely cares about her patients. The procedures were far easier than I expected--virtually painless and done efficiently. If you need endodontic work, I can't recommend Dr. Shadmehr enough. She and her team make an intimidating experience as stress-free as possible. Five stars all the way!! read more

This should be a ZERO star review due to the horrible reception, communication, lack of clarity and questionable business practices I suffered here. I reached out to this clinic with the need for a root canal on my molar 18. I had recently went to another dentist to perform the root canal, however he was unable to as he could not get my tooth numb to do the procedure during his attempt. He then recommended that I go to a dentist who could provide sedation. The website to Elite Endodontists states they can provide this. When I called to set up my appointment, the receptionist Mackenzie constantly interrupted and over talked me during the call. I explained to her my situations and she told me that what my last dentist said didn't matter as she was confident Dr. Shadmehr would be able to get me numb without sedation. She acted as if I was ignorant and had no idea what I was talking about. This should have been enough warning to not book my appointment, however at this point I was getting pretty desperate so I set up my appointment. My primary dentist also sent over all of the x-rays and notes needed to perform my root canal without anything extra needed at all. Mackenzie immediately told me that I had to have a cone beam CT scan on my jaw to complete my root canal. She then stated that it cost $300 and isn't usually covered by insurance. I told her that I didn't have the money for that and I didn't need or want it as my dentist sent over everything needed to perform the procedure already. When I told her this, she became very agitated and made the entire encounter extremely uncomfortable and awkward. She then told Dr. Shadmer that I didn't want to do it. I wasn't able to hear her response clearly but she must have told Mackenzie to take an x-ray of my tooth. She then came and sat in the room and pointed at the x-rays and told me that she can't operate on my tooth without the Cone Beam CT scan cause it would be like operating on my tooth blind. (Absolutely Ludacris as my dentist already sent over everything needed. A fact backed up by the previous dentist attempting to perform my root canal but unable to numb me adequately.) She insinuated that she would not perform the procedure without the scan and forced me to do it even beyond my protests to both Mackenzie and herself that I didn't want to do it and I didn't have the money extra money saved for that scan. It was a ridiculously horrific situation for a dental professional to put someone who was desperate for help through for the sake of being able to get more money out of myself and my insurance. Finally, after they forced me to sit through that Cone Beam CT scan, Dr. Shadmehr came in and ran through the scan with me and told me that the scan showed that the canals to my nerves were "blocked" and she had to drill through them to clear them out. Then she immediately began to numb my tooth. Of course as I first stated when I called in and again told her before she started, the previous dentist was not able to numb me completely and recommended that I get sedated. Not surprisingly she wasn't able to numb my tooth either and told me that she was going to have to drill through my tooth till she broke through to my nerve and I was going to feel it completely until that happened... Once she was in, she could numb the nerve. She asked if that was okay, at this point my tooth was half drilled into and so I gritted and I bore the sensation of not being numb while getting a root canal till she broke through to the nerve. Luckily she worked fast so the horrific pain was short lived. Then once she numbed my nerve, she asked me if Mackenzie had told me what the costs would be, which no she had not. She then acted frustrated and had Mackenzie come in and explain to me what this procedure was going to cost me, including the $300 for the Cone beam scan and an extra $725 for the "blocked" canals she was able to derive from that scan, so an extra $1,025 of unnecessary charges that i was forced into paying. Insurance covers neither. Why? because they are unnecessary. Even though both Mackenzie and Dr. Shadmer demanded it be performed. I am 1000% confident this was solely money gauging. What makes this worse is it's done on people who are desperate for help and they made it seem as if they would refuse to do the work without it. They didn't outright say it, but they insinuated it. Well of course I didn't budget for the 1100 copay they told me I had to pay right then. So as I lay there having just felt every millimeter of her drilling into my nerve canal, Dr. Shadmehr acted frustrated and mad at me because they didn't tell me the costs until I was in this state. I let her know the amount I could pay that day which was $600. I could pay the remainder the next week, which I did. I've never been so traumatized nor felt so taken advantage of. I will dissuade everyone within my reach from being taken advantage of by this questionable dental practice. Shame on both of you. read more

Doctor Shadmehr did root canal on my upper left tooth(#13). In one appointment she completes the treatment and it was totally painless painless and she made me feel very comfortable and the appointment was one hour and when the numbness went away I did not have any pain. Hooshang K. read more

I had complications after a root canal with my usual dentist and Dr. Shadmehr was able to get me in to be seen within 10 minutes of my call (she had a cancellation right then). She took a CT scan and saw the problem, and did a root canal retreatment right then, and called my dentist to discuss the case with him. She and her office manager took a lot of time to look into my insurance coverage and try to minimize my costs. I was very impressed and thankful for this level of prompt service, highly recommend! read more

Dr. Shadmehr (Ellie) is a great endodontist and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. I first met Ellie at Javidan Endodontics (in Palo Alto) where she is an associate of Dr. Javidan. Ellie is so nice and extremely skilled. After a thorough review of my situation and her expectations regarding my tooth, she performed my root canal surgery smoothly and completely with what felt like minimal time in the chair. You can tell she's experienced and accomplished by how well she executed the procedure. Because we were at her Palo Alto location, just a quick note that their office, staff and equipment is very impressive and everyone there was professional, courteous and experienced. As stated initially, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Shadmehr, she made me feel very comfortable and confident I was being cared for in the utmost! read more
