    Unfortunately I have needed two root canals. Fortunately I found Dr. Yang through a colleague…read more One root canal was done about 4 years ago and was associated with a huge periapical radiolucency which has healed up on recent evaluation (yay). That tooth was difficult with tiny calcified canals that take experience to handle. My second root canal started recently and Dr. Yang takes his time and proceeds with care. I am pleased with his care and results. I should note that I assess his final fills of my canals with a rather strict professional eye. He passes with flying colors.

    Dr. Yang & his team are knowledgeable and compassionate, both of which I think are necessary of any…read moredental specialist. I have a history of dental work gone wrong and therefore a lot of anxiety about future dental work. I had three consultations at three different places for an apicoectomy that had to be done on an undersized front tooth with a crown on it. In other words, I had a unique, relatively rare case right in the front of my smile and it was imperative to me that I had the surgery done extremely well. I'm happy to announce it has gone well - as well as I can hope - and I will post an update in a few months if necessary. Here are some highlights of my visits so far: - I was forthcoming about my anxieties and Dr. Yang helped me decide how to best approach my surgery. I opted for some light sedatives that made me extremely calm during the surgery. I was also able to wear headphones and listen to music during the procedure. - He prescribed me an antibiotic and mouthwash for the week following surgery and the healing process was very easy. I had minimal swelling (I've seen photos of people with massive swelling after apico surgery - to the level of wisdom teeth removal - and my swelling was nowhere close to that). - The receptionist is familiar with everything at the office and can answer all your questions. She dealt with billing my insurance and - unlike in other reviews I've seen - that went perfectly well! She offered me an estimate of what I'll likely pay and what my insurance will pay and so, on the day of the surgery, I paid my part of the estimate. Weeks later she came back with my claim from insurance and I owed another $40 so the estimate was very close to the real bill. - It is very easy to get ahold of office staff or even Dr. Yang himself. In once instance, I was able to text him an urgent question I had after my surgery. He also called me around 8 PM the day of the surgery to check in on me. I appreciate the transparency and availability of Dr. Yang. - The staff make sure that your visits are always paired with the same dental assistant which just eased my mind so much. I love knowing who I am going to see and being sure that they will remember my concerns, anxieties, and preferences. - Dr. Yang always takes the time to ask me if I need clarification or have questions, never rushing me out of the door. He uses X-rays and photos when explain ing his thought process about my case, he checks in with me during the visits, and he tells me what he's going to do before he does it. Yet another way he makes me feel comfortable, cared for, and heard during my visits.

    I was referred to this office by my dentist to treat a severe infection and I'm so glad I was. Dr…read more Monzavi is knowledgable, kind, and efficient. He took the time to explain the process and make sure my questions were fully answered. All of the staff are incredibly kind and helpful as well, they checked up on me to make sure I received the prescription for my pain medications. I was extremely nervous coming in because it's my first ever root canal treatment but Dr. Monzavi is great and I felt comfortable during the treatment. He checks on you throughout the treatment to make sure you are OK and that the procedure is painless, then after the treatment thoroughly reviews with you what has been done and what the next steps are. I had 2 appointments so far (due to the severity of the infection) and each of them took less than an hour which is way quicker than what I expected. They scheduled me another follow-up appointment to check on the healing progress. You can tell the people here care about their patients. Overall I would highly recommend this office to my family and friends and anyone else looking to get a root canal done. :)

    Dr. Hoang's skill is top notch! Her surgical precision execution along with her wonderful "chair…read moreside" manner (she hums soothing melodies when she gets "into her groove" during procedures!) goes a long way in making patients super comfortable in visiting the dentist/endodontist! Coupled with attentive aides (like Vanessa) and solid front desk management by Madison & Eleanor guiding you through insurance & patient protocols, this team's hospitality and professionalism make for many satisfied clients! Thoroughly recommended!

Dark skinned nice man I guess I can explain the best way I can Jespersens Assistant 9/16/2025 Tuesday 10am to be exact) was SOOOO supportive & comforting made it some what better but it was so bad I almost did not know what to do! I came in to get a root canal. Mind you I drove from San Leandro. With traffic it was an hour and a half. I was not going to waste any time so I was trying really hard to keep my patience & my composure with kindness to keep this procedure going until this Bruce Jespersen's rudeness kicked badly and was so unnecessarily aggressive with how he spoke with me and so unprofessional. I was so shocked. I was in tears because I could not believe how he acted towards me lol I'm laughing because I'm thinking about it now and I'm just like WOW this guy is unbelievable!!! It all started because I needed a root canal in my very back top tooth. So therefore, I know I need to keep my mouth wide open, but I can only keep it open very wide for so long. I tried my very best to do that, but he was pretty much yanking on my mouth to keep it open. I told him after a while that my jaw was hurting and he kept telling me open wide open wide. You can't keep it 2/3 open for me to work on it if you want this root canal done then you need to open wide and I told him my jaw is hurting. I can't keep opening it so wide can you put something in there to keep it open and he said no we don't have anything and I told him well. My jaw is hurting. My neck is hurting. I felt like he started to be rude and he wasn't taking my words and my feelings into consideration and finally told me well. You can go somewhere else and just did not care. I was in tears because of how he was talking to me. He was just super rude. He finally got up, took his gloves off and was just super aggressive. I broke out in more tears and I started shaking because his energy and his aggressive communication was just so horrible. I just could not believe how he was talking to me. He said there will be no charge for this. You can go somewhere else I just broke down. I had an anxiety attack. His assistant was Comforting me and told me to take my time and was just saying whatever he was saying to support me I don't even remember what all he was saying because I was just in full shock mind you I got the two shots in my mouth to numb the area and I just had to leave. I walked out of there in FULL TEARS and had to call my original dentist and tell them what happened And now I have to find another specialist to finish this root canal. I don't know if he was just having a horrible day, but whatever it was I hope this DOES NOT happen to another patient!

    Bruce Jespersen can be described with one word: gruff. That's how he described himself twice during…read moremy visit with him. He said he's been in practice a very long time so if patients don't follow his set up list of rules he gets upset. Despite being referred with an X-ray he wouldn't see me until his office did an X-ray. Then he spent all of 15 seconds looking at my tooth. The lack of professionalism was beyond comprehension. This isn't 1950. Patients deserve to be treated with a modicum of respect and being in practice a long time is not a valid excuse.
