For me, Dr. Fujimura ranks in the top 1% of all the medical professionals I've seen. His manner is warm and personable. He explains things thoroughly and patiently, with only the patient's best interest at heart. I couldn't tell if my persistent low-grade pain was caused by a tooth or TMJ. Together, we explore every option until it was clear that a root canal was needed. When we finally did the procedure, it was fast, painless, and every step was explained along the way. By the time the novocaine wore off, my mysterious pain was finally gone! The staff at EndoSpecialists is great as well. read more

The staff and doctor were very cordial and professional as well as flexible with my schedule. The treatment was smooth and not very painful. read more

My dentist referred me to Endospecialists for a root canal procedure. Root canals are not my favorite event, but I was very pleased with my experience with Dr. Fujimura and the staff. They made sure that I understood what was happening at every step, and showed their concern for my wellbeing. They are skillful and compassionate professionals- I highly recommend them. read more

I was able to get an emergency appointment in one day! I was seen by Dr. Kim who is knowledgeable, sure, and kind. His assistant was very helpful and you can't beat the front. Desk staff. Very warm and kind and most importantly experts and all kinds of insurance. Highly recommend. read more

It seems odd to say I had a wonderful experience during a root canal, but Dr. Fujimura and his staff was so warm and welcoming, I was immediately put at ease. The procedure itself was completely pain free, and both Dr. Fujimura and his able assistant were always checking on me to ensure I was doing well. They were able to complete the whole procedure in one sitting. I would highly recommend Dr. Fujimura for anyone needing to get a root canal. read more

Dr Fujimura is a great dentist gentle, detailed and very kind man his staff is great too.

Dr. Priya O'Callaghan made the painful nightmare in my mouth peaceful again. Root canals are up there with getting a shot in your eyeball. No one wants one unless they HAVE to have one. Well, I had to fly unexpectedly to Berkeley early Sunday morning (I live in NM) and on Monday my tooth was angry and not happy. I went to Dr. Barry Kami, who I found on the Internet because of reviews, and he informed me that I would need a root canal and that he would make a call to Dr. O'Callaghan to see if she could fit me in given the fact that I was traveling and unsure of how long I would be staying in CA. Dr. O'Callaghan saw me right away, put me on antibiotics and scheduled me for a root canal the very next day. I'm not going to lie, I was anxious. When I got there, she stepped me through a breathing technique that really helped me throughout the procedure. It was painless (once that shot was in) but even w the shot, she has a great technique (I needed one in the roof of my mouth). The best part of it was that they have a special technology called the Gentle Wave that literally flushes out the bacteria in your root canal. It's like a deep cleaning spa day for your tooth (and that poor tooth needed it!) . They put this apparatus around the tooth and then it just swirls water around the tooth and canal for about 5 min. It cuts down on complications and I truly believe them given the fact that I am 12 hours out from my procedure and have zero pain. read more

I got a root canal redone (they did not do the first one) and I was amazed with their customers service and Dr. Fujimara is amazing. He's very informative before the procedure, he was very thoughtful during the procedure and he even asked me to raise my hand if i needed a break. I barely felt anything (even though he provided a shot before). Dr. Fujimara is a wonderful endodontist and this is my FIRST dentist appointment that I did not mind going to. Recommend 10 read more

I can't say that I enjoy having a root canal, but the procedure went very well and the staff were friendly and pleasant. Of course Dr. Kim was competent and very thoughtful. We will see how everything turns out in the future, (to be determined). I don't appreciate that I had to pay the copay ahead of time, however. read more

Health care institutions do teach bedside manner, but in today's fast-paced medical environment, many doctors often choose to overlook it or fail to prioritize it. Dr. Fujimura is exceptional--he knows how to keep patients calm and relaxed while performing procedures that are both painless and precise. He is soft-spoken and friendly, and he speaks to his patients like a neighbor, never with a condescending attitude. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding orthodontist. read more

Dr.Fujimura was wonderful. He is kind, humorous, and highly professional. His skill in handling a very complicated root canal in December was impressive and reasuring. He kept me informed the entire time. Learning that it was an emergency, he stayed late on a Friday night to handle it. He has perfected the art of giving injections so they are virtually painless. I have had two root canals with him (two different teeth, of course!) and will choose him if another is required. read more

Caring staff, the Dental Nurse so Caring. The Dentist was patience, understanding told me step by step what he was doing, asked if I was ok, I would totally recommend them read more

Dr Fujimura and his team were very kind, detail oriented and gentle. Would definitely recommend.

Dr Fujimura is amazing. Caring and competent. Highly recommend!!! He determined that my dentist's recommendation for a root canal was wrong. Appreciate an honest dentist. read more

The care I received was just that! Care! Dr Fujimura was so very gentle in his care! I'd never felt a touch so gentle in my dental care! I needed a root canal and I have had a few before but this time was different. It was an exceptional! I highly recommend the Endospecialists, Dr. Atsushi Fujimura if you are looking for this type of dental treatment! Everyone in the office were friendly and professional as well. and a review! read more

Dr. Fujimura was fantastic; gentle, thorough, softly briefly narrating every single step and the situation for the whole hour and a half; he explained before and discussed after and made sure I had zero pain during the whole procedure (as I had big infection I needed a two visit approach (all for the price of one). His assistant was excellent as well. They focused fully on the work the whole time and attuned to how I felt every minute. It was amazing. And my case was complicated and Dr. Fujimura went the extra mile in care and discovery. I am extremely grateful to him and his office and highly recommend him. read more

great people all over from doc kim to nurse and receptionist. i highly recommend to anyone needing root canal

I received a root canal in February 2020, and for 4 years later, the same tooth is now reinfected due to inadequate cleaning of the tooth canal. The infection is now in my jawbone, which is painful. I contacted the office, and the front desk agent said they could do nothing since it's been over a year. This is sad. I paid so much for the procedure, only to lose the situation. Pain in the abscess of my jaw for work was done negligently. read more

I had to go in for a root canal, which of course I was not looking forward to...! But Dr. Fujikawa and team were really great, gentle, checking in with me the whole time, making sure there was no pain, explaining everything clearly. And I've had no post-op problems at all. Highly recommend. read more

If I could, I'd give Dr. Fujimura 1000 stars! I've been a patient of Dr. Fujimura for three years, and he is truly the most exceptional doctor I've ever had. His attention to detail is unparalleled, and he approaches his work with remarkable dedication and precision. He is highly knowledgeable in his field, exceptionally patient, and always takes the time to answer my questions thoroughly. Dr. Fujimura truly values patient involvement, making sure I am fully informed and engaged in every step of my care. He genuinely understands the importance of each visit to his patients. My dental history is complicated. Having come from a country with limited dental resources and a less-than-ideal dentist, I was facing issues that are unusual for someone my age. At just 25, I had been advised by another office to replace two molars with implants. Dr. Fujimura, however, managed to save both teeth, along with a third that required retreatment. For two of these teeth, I needed multiple follow-up visits, and he charged me fairly--only for the actual work completed, not each visit. Everyone in Dr. Fujimura's office is kind, professional, and accommodating, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fujimura and his office. You won't regret choosing him for your care! read more

Dr Fujiyama is the best!! He was patient thoughtful and caring, as he did my emergency root canal. I felt better immediately.

Referred by my dentist for a root canal, I was referred to this office. I paid $648 out of pocket and received a statement from aetna that I actually only owed $238. The office had the gall to send me another bill to bill me additional $150. I called and Pablo in Berkeley explained that I am responsible to pay above and beyond the contracted rates with Aetna. I explained that is not how insurance works. I called again and spoke to Lorena in El Cerrito who said they threw in procedures that are not covered by insurance and they were on my consent form. I have attached a picture so you can see that they did not disclose the cost of a disposable device would be $250! What gets me is they would have kept my undisputed overpayment had I not spent my own time researching and calling, and billed me and the insurance beyond. Beyond the horrendous billing, the procedure was awful. The roof of my mouth was torn apart for over a week. My dentist commented out how roughly it had gone when I went back for the crown. The assistant kept wiping every appliance in my mouth and perhaps my teeth with rubbing alcohol, to the point where I could taste it. read more

Endospecialists - The disposable not billed to insurance is on a surprise bill to the patient at $250! - Endodontists Near Me - El Cerrito, California

I presented with intermittent molar pain that seemed to be getting worse the week before I was to leave on a 6-week trip. Root canal? Maybe. DDS Atasushi Fujimura examined me and suspected a jaw muscle aspect. He prescribed a muscle relaxant and that did the trick avoiding the root canal. I appreciated his thoughtful diagnostics. He put me first and explaining our options clearly. Perfect! Alexis at the front desk was super efficient, welcoming, and personable. The best experience for me in a stressful episode! read more

I got a root canal re treatment done by Dr. Chalmers on a tooth that was RCT treated over 20 years ago. I was so relieved that he was able to save my tooth! His expertise is unmatched! He has a very polite demeaner and is very gentle. His assistant, Nanita, was also such a sweetheart! They make sure you are comfortable during the whole procedure. Their chairs are so comfy that I feel asleep during my treatment because I was so relaxed. Financially, it was not a cheap treatment (specially because I did not have insurance) but I think it was worth it, knowing I was in good hands! And it was still way less than what an Implant costs! Overall I had a very good experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Chalmers to anyone looking for a RCT/retreatment RCT. read more

Can't speak highly enough of Endospecialists in El Cerrito! If a root canal is what you're looking definitely give them a visit lol As to be predicted with the horrible service received from BrightNow Dental located also in EC. My root canal received by them turned into a re-infection... My face has swollen to the size of a balloon and it's been excruciating pain. Yet Dr. Atsushi Fujimara and his team made everything so much better! :D +1 for a convenient location, fast booking appointment time, with friendly service along with clear and concise communication on what was being done. He was able to at least drain the infection and will be back for another appointment as the infection was too bad. But just truly happy to be given great service and feel so much better now! So thank you! ^^ read more

Dr Fujimora did a great job and was very thorough. He even helped me with a small chip on my tooth. . Location is very convenient, and they took me in right on time. All in all would definitely recommend! read more

Clean office. Dr. Fujimura is great professional, very careful, and explains well in a calm manner. I highly recommend this place.

Dr. Fujimura did an excellent job on my root canal. I get a lot of anxiety from dental work from bad experiences in the past and him and his team went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. I highly recommend him and his staff for doing a top notch job. read more

Endospecialist Fujimura is very knowledgeable, friendly, careful, and patient. I had one visit for a dental canal abscess, he cleaned and sealed it nicely, send a message to my primary dentist for follow up, and made a free check up in 3 month that showed an excellent result. Really happy and appreciated his work. Staffs are very kind too. read more

I was evaluated by Dr. Lin for my very first root canal. He took the time to explain everything in depth so I could make an informed decision on how to move forward. He also explained the costs involved with different options and the ramifications. He has a pleasant demeanor, is an approachable doctor and isn't intimidating. It is scary having to deal with an expensive procedure that one doesn't know what caused it. I feel very good about him doing the root canal if that is the direction I choose to take. read more

Great offices conveniently located in Hayward, Oakland, Berkeley and El Cerrito! Appointment booking couldn't have been any easier. I was seen at two of their locations, in Oakland and in El Cerrito. Both of these locations have their own patient parking which is very convenient. In both offices, it was the same experience with the front desk. As soon as I walked in the front door, the front desk immediately made me feel right at home. Everything was on time and both were extremely professionally run offices. The offices were very clean and up-to-date with modern equipment. In Oakland: I had an amazing experience with Dr. Siu who greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel very comfortable. Very professional. She took the time and explained all the treatment to me beforehand, answered my questions and never felt rushed. Dr. Siu took my dental fears away and knew I was in good hands to treat my tooth and infection. Her assistant Kenneth was very sweet, informative, professional and took my x-rays. Both made sure I was comfortable at all times. In El Cerrito: I opened the door and was greeted right away by Pablo. I was seen for a re-treatment by Dr. Fujimura, whom by the way has "Angel hands". He was so gentle, I barely felt anything! His assistant Nenita took my x-rays and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I had a fantastic experience with Endospecialist and would definitely recommend 100% to anyone. read more

The care was excellent it was the best experiences i have at a denist office in 20 years Dr. The most patient i have seen he talk to me explain everything he was doing at all times.Staff very attentive and caring. I have told all my coworkes about the wonderful care i received. Thank you sooo much. read more

Dr. Atsushi Fujimura performed a root canal on an upper molar yesterday. It was completely painless. I didn't even feel the anesthetic injection because the topical anesthetic made the area completely numb. After that, I was able to relax and almost doze off while he worked. I could tell from the way he sometimes talked to himself that he was concentrating and working as hard as he could. I had been to the now retired Dr. Chalmers a couple times in the past and he was great. It's comforting to know that Dr. Fujimura is just as careful and skilled. read more

Dr.Fujimura was amazing! He was very kind patient and gentle he made sure he communicated each step. I felt no pain during or after!! I am very grateful to have been sent here the whole staff was kind and informative! read more

This was my first root canal; I was worried because I didn't know any endodontist or even a dentist in the area. I looked at the Yelp reviews, and this place came up. I took the risk, and I did not regret it. Dr. Fujimura performed my root canal treatment. He did an excellent job and later advised me of different general dentists for my crown. The price is fair, and the service is 100% professional. I would for sure recommend this place and Dr. Fujimura. read more
