The dentist said it was time, at last. And it was feeling funky. Office staff were great, Dr Nealon explained what was going to happen at the consult with no sense of upselling; and during the procedure he exuded a casual professionalism and confidence as things progressed. His help was on top of things too. There was some pain for about 18hrs after, nothing that some high doses of IB couldn't handle. He even came in on a weekend to deal with a time-dependent touch up. Within a couple days everything seems back to normal. There are definitely things worse than a root canal.

He made both my daughter and me feel informed, comfortable, and at ease throughout the whole process. The best way I can describe his presence is somewhere between Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross -- calm, kind, gentle, reassuring, and genuinely caring. You can immediately tell how incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent he is, yet what stands out even more is how humble he is. Even with all the Ivy League and elite schools he attended, there is absolutely no arrogance or bragging about him. He is deeply respectful, compassionate, and treats both his patients and staff with such kindness. His staff are also amazing -- very sweet, youthful in spirit, professional, and welcoming. Everyone there helps create such a peaceful and uplifting environment. Even the office itself reflects the care they put into everything. The bathroom and office are exceptionally clean, organized, and beautifully maintained. They also play such an eclectic variety of music that instantly helps calm your nerves and lift your spirit. What touched me the most was how Dr. Nealon cared for my daughter as though she were his own child. That level of sincerity and compassion means more than words can express. We truly appreciate Dr. Nealon and his staff, and are so grateful for the wonderful experience we had. May God continue to bless Dr. Nealon and his entire team abundantly. Thank you very much!

He and his associates were in a relatively old building on Telegraph near Derby. They moved recently to the medical building at the corner of Telegraph and Oregon, which was renovated a year or two ago. The new offices of Berkeley Endodontics look great -- nice shiny surfaces and equipment that looks to be state-of-the-art. (I was impressed by the digital "X-Rays" that they took of my teeth and the subsequent manipulation of the images on the computer.) This person exudes competence and has a good chair-side manner. If I needed a root canal and was faced with a choice between a general dentist and this specialist, I'd definitely go with the specialist.
