I walked into this office expecting a root canal and walked out with something I didn't expect at all -- a sense of trust. Once the dentist opened the tooth, he explained that too much structure was gone to save it. Not great news, but he took the time to show me what he saw and made sure I understood the situation. What really stayed with me was how they handled the 3D X‑ray I had requested. I agreed to the extra cost because I thought it would help determine whether the tooth could be saved. When it turned out not to provide any additional information, they removed the charge immediately, even though they were fully within their rights to bill me for it. Dr. Chong and his staff provided the rarest kind of patient care, care with Aloha. This office didn't just treat my tooth -- they treated me with respect. And that's the kind of thing that actually matters to me, and should matter to you. read more

After seeing my dentist to assess my teeth after that traumatic fall in Japan, I was advised to have my teeth further evaluated by an endodontist. Grateful my dentist was able to have my teeth aligned again after a tooth shifted from the fall, but knew I had to be checked on the teeth's nerves and roots. My dentist referred me out to Hawaii Endodontics (HE). HE was founded in 2009 and has now expanded to 3 locations (Honolulu, Aiea and Kailua) on Oahu offering root canals utilizing modern technology. I decided to go to their Honolulu clinic on the 5th floor of Hale Pawaa as I'm familiar with this building and it's near my home. I already had an appointment at Hale Pawaa to see my PCP so I made my way to the 5F to speed up the appointment process. I wanted to avoid leaving a message and wait for the call back. It was easy scheduling the appointment and I asked to be paired with one of the four professionals recommended by my dentist. Was advised I could be seen on Monday morning but had to wait until they confirmed with my insurance on the coverage. Dr. Howard Kang was assigned to me and I also had to complete a questionnaire prior to be seen. It was basically personal information and general health questions. I'll be frank where I was nervous to see Dr. Kang as my front teeth and mouth were stiltvery sensitive and this has been keeping me from getting deep sleep at night. The tenderness, discomfort and anxiety have been on my mind but glad I was seeking the medical attention I really needed. The dental assistant was very friendly and encouraged me to relax - - I guess it was obvious by my actions and facial expressions. Soon after Dr. Kang entered and asked several questions prior to having x-rays performed and tests done. The results determined the root canal for tooth #8 as it didn't respond to the sensitivity test and confirmed by the x-ray results. Anesthesia was performed and Dr. Kang conducted the procedure. It was painless and he kept me posted with the steps involved. Prior to departure, I was provided with a prescription for a stronger dose of Ibuprofen to be taken after the anesthesia fades away. This experience wasn't what I had hoped for but that's life. I was informed of my copay portion prior to the appointment and paid my share prior to leaving the office. In closing, I'm pleased with this experience and glad my dentist referred me to HE. I found Dr. Kang and the staff very cordial and informative, especially I'm not that experienced with root canals. read more

Hawaii Endodontics - Waiting room - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

As a 64-year old widower, whose born and raised "Kailua-Girl" wife of 37-years succumbed after a 3-year battle with cancer, I found myself in the unenviable position of needing serious dental care, which my late wife would always schedule for me, and arrange instead of me. Enter Endodontist, Dr. Farid Shaikh, who exceeded all of my expectations above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for, starting with him actually listening to me as a "patient with a problem" and not treating me as if I were a "problem patient". Further, he took the much-needed time, the urgency of my dental procedure required, explaining everything plainly and patiently, which sadly, is extremely rare these days if not virtually non-existent, particularly in this specialized field of expertise that rises to the level of being most unforgiving of anything less than precision and perfection, both of which Dr. Shaikh has mastered. I've been to many an Orthodontist, Dentist and Endodontist on the Island of Oahu over the years; however, I've never met anyone as thorough and thoughtful as Dr. Shaikh. He not only took the time to explain everything to me, he went "the extra mile" to ensure that I understood all of my options prior to performing my complicated procedure "painlessly" as would an accomplished concert pianist, flawlessly. I always know I've made a wise decision when my only regret was that I didn't make it sooner. Such is the case with scheduling my procedure with Dr. Shaikh, as I only wish I would have done so earlier. Thank you, "Dr. Shaikh" and "Team Hawaii Endodontics"!!! You now have a loyal patient for life!!! J.D. Farag - Kailua, Hawaii read more

I was on a vacation when tooth pain struck. It quickly got so bad that OTC meds were no longer helping, I was miserable. I searched and found Hawaii Endodontics and another dental office. After reading Yelp reviews, I decided to go with Hawaii Endodontics. I was able to get an appt with Dr Chong the next working day. I arrived, filled some forms, and was called back soon after for X-rays, etc. After explaining what was going on and explaining the procedure, we agreed to move forward. He did a great job fixing my tooth! He and his assistant Emily moved together smoothly and finished in less than an hour. No pain during the procedure with some expected soreness later in the day. Now I can go back to vacation!! ------------ Two notes: 1) Parking garage was very full - I had to park on the top floor. 2) There were two things they recommended for my case that were not covered by insurance. They clearly explained this and asked if I wanted to use them before proceeding. I chose to proceed with both Thanks again Dr Chong!! read more

Hawaii Endodontics treated us with genuine kindness and compassion. Dr. Shaikh was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain everything step‑by‑step and making sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The level of care and reassurance they provided truly matched the concern we had for our own family member. The treatment required two root canals, and thanks to Dr. Shaikh's expertise and gentle approach, the procedures went smoothly and--most importantly--resolved the pain and discomfort completely. What could have been a stressful and frightening experience instead became one of trust, relief, and gratitude. We highly recommend Dr. Shaikh and the entire team at Hawaii Endodontics in Aiea. If you need any dental or endodontic work, especially if you're anxious or fearful, this is the place to go. Their care, professionalism, and ability to make patients feel safe and supported are truly exceptional. read more

I visited Hawaii Endodontics LLC on 11/24/25 at 10 AM for a consultation with Dr. Howard Kang regarding issues with tooth #9, and unfortunately had one of the worst front-desk experiences I've ever had at a medical office. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist's attitude was immediately off-putting. When her coworker told her to assist me, she turned around looking startled, almost "scared," as if my presence was somehow an inconvenience. While I was filling out paperwork, I overheard her say that my facial expression looked "like someone who saw a person die." I never expected blatant, unprovoked insults from a receptionist toward a paying patient. If this is how their admin staff treats people, it raises concerns about the professionalism of the entire practice. I paid $200 for a CBCT scan. After a long wait, I was taken for x-rays by an assistant and then waited again before meeting Dr. Kang. To his credit, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and did take the time to send a report to my general dentist, and even provided a disc with the imaging for me to keep. He clearly explained my two treatment options: an apicoectomy or extraction with an implant. Still, the appointment overall felt rushed and very transactional. At the end, Dr. Kang instructed the front desk to provide me with an estimate for the apicoectomy, but as of now, I'm still waiting. Meanwhile, another endodontics clinic I contacted afterward sent me an estimate within an hour, highlighting just how unprofessional and unresponsive this office's admin team is by comparison. Overall, the extremely poor treatment from the front desk overshadowed everything else. Despite Dr. Kang's professionalism, I cannot recommend this clinic based on my experience. read more

Very fast and precise. Dr. Fu had me diagnosed quickly and coordinated with my dentist on treatment. Very pleasant staff too!

A dentist who goes above and beyond -- absolutely highly recommend! I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. My regular dentist sent me to Hawaii Endodontics for a serious infection, and I was lucky enough to get an appointment right away. From the moment you walk in, everyone is warm, friendly, and professional, which instantly makes you feel calmer. The office is clean, comfortable, and really well organized--everything just runs smoothly. Dr. Farid B. Shaikh is amazing. He's clearly skilled and really knows what he's doing, but what stands out even more is how much he cares. He explains everything in a way that makes sense and never rushes you. You can tell he truly wants the best for his patients, and that makes such a difference. I was also moved by Dr. Shaikh's personal story. Hearing about his father working hard to run a motel in India helped me understand where his values come from--hard work, integrity, and genuine kindness. You can feel those qualities in the way he treats his patients, and it makes the whole experience feel meaningful, not just clinical. Patients here aren't just treated--they're cared for and respected. If I could give more than five stars, I definitely would. Dr. Shaikh combines top-notch skill with real compassion, and I feel lucky to be under his care. Mahalo, Dr. Shaikh, for everything! read more

Dr. Farid Shaikh is a professional and considerate doctor who always keeps his promises. I had him see me twice in an emergency, and as a result, I was able to receive more treatment than I expected. This time my case was very urgent just before the holiday season. The doctor made time to treat me thoroughly, so that inflammation and infection would not occur again. On top of that, the doctor called my husband Jeff, who usually accompanies me, on the phone to explain my condition, saying that Jeff must be worried. I was very impressed by his depth of compassion. It's a dental treatment that everyone is not good at, but I'm always relaxed when I'm treated by Dr. Shaikh. This feeling comes from the feeling of trust in him. And Dr. Shaikh makes me laugh with jokes even when I visit in an emergency. Dr. Shaikh himself probably doesn't realize how much it relieves my tension. In other words, I feel that the best professional doctors like Dr. Shaikh are naturally equipped with the skills to not cause anxiety or discomfort to patients. Also, the doctor and I chat casually. I feel that the natural healing power can also be increased by the relationship of trust between the patient and the doctor, and the fact that the patient himself does not feel anxious. On top of that, the doctor called me to ask about the situation after treatment before he went on holiday vacation. I was really happy. After two painful emergency treatments, my pain is almost gone, and thanks to him, I was able to spend a peaceful Thanksgiving. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Shaikh for his efforts to make the holiday peaceful. Of course, his office is always clean and the staff is very sweet. Dr.Shaikhはプロフェッショナルで思いやりが有り、必ず約束を守ってくれるドクターです！ 私は２度、緊急で彼に診察して貰い、その結果予想以上のトリートメントを受ける事が出来ました。 今回はホリデーシーズンに入る直前だったので、再び炎症や感染が起きない様にドクターは緊急度の高い私の為に彼の診察時間をマネージングしながら最後まで徹底的に治療してくれました。 其の上、治療後にはいつも私に同行して来る私の夫Jeffが心配しているはずだと言ってJeffに電話で説明をしてくれました。 私は彼の思いやりの深さに非常に感動しました。 誰もが苦手な歯の治療ですが、私がDr.Shaikhの治療を受ける時はいつもリラックスしています。この気持ちは彼に対する信頼の気持ちから来るものです。そして、Dr.Shaikhは私が緊急事態で訪れた時でさえ、ジョークで私を笑わせてくれます。それがどれほど私の緊張をほぐしてくれるのかは、多分Dr.Shaikh自身も気付いていないでしょう。つまり、Dr.Shaikhの様な最高のプロフェッショナルのドクターは、患者に不安や不快感を与え無い為のスキルが自然に備わっていると感じています。 また、私とドクターは他愛のない世間話しをします。これらの状況が全て関連して、患者とドクターの信頼関係、そして患者自身は不安を感じない事によって、自然治癒力も高められる様に感じています。 其の上ドクターはサンクスギビングホリデー休暇に入る前に私に電話を掛けて来て治療後の状況を聞いてくれました。本当に嬉しかったです。 ２度の辛い緊急治療を経て、今私の痛みはほぼ無くなり、お陰で穏やかなサンクスギビングを過ごす事が出来ました。ホリデーを平和に過ごせる様にと尽力して下さったDr.Shaikhに心からの感謝を伝えたいと思います。 もちろん彼のオフィスはいつも清潔でスタッフは全員とても優しいですよ read more

I came in for a same-day referral for a root canal that needed to be done immediately. I have not had one in probably 20+ years, because I am very hesitant, as I had one get infected. In consultation with Dr. Shaik, who sincerely listened to my concerns, we decided this was the very best option. I was shocked that he did it quite quickly, with very little pain (just the numbing shots). Dr. Shaik and Aunty Lei made the whole experience pleasant, if I can say? I don't usually expect that to be said of any dental visit, much less a root canal! Aunty Lei even wrapped me nicely in a blanket because I got cold. And now one day later, I have not experienced any post pain or swelling. Great job and I highly recommend them. **I accidentally posted this review on their Kailua office Yelp page, so I apologize for the confusion. read more

5 stars -- Root canal redemption! I never thought I'd be writing a positive review about needing a root canal, but here we are -- all thanks to Dr. Shaikh and the amazing team at Hawaii Endodontics. I'd never had a cavity before, so when my general dentist told me I had a big one that likely needed a root canal, I was honestly in disbelief -- and pretty anxious. The words "root canal" alone had me imagining the worst. Thankfully, a trusted friend referred me to Dr. Shaikh for a second opinion, and I'm so grateful they did. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt cared for. The front desk staff greeted me warmly, and Lynn, the nurse, was an absolute angel. She noticed I was nervous (even though I tried to play it cool!) and immediately made me feel comfortable -- offering me water and making sure I had everything I needed. Dr. Shaikh was kind, calming, and incredibly clear in explaining what was going on with my poor tooth (spoiler: it was super infected) and what my options were. He made the whole thing make sense without overwhelming me. When we decided to go ahead with the root canal, my anxiety started creeping back in -- but it was short-lived. Honestly? It wasn't scary at all. Dr. Shaikh made sure I was fully numb, checked in with me frequently during the procedure, and adjusted things if I felt even a hint of discomfort. And best of all -- it didn't hurt. At all. After the procedure, he walked me through everything he found (infection: gnarly, but conquered!) and explained my aftercare clearly. I had mild soreness once the numbing wore off, but the ibuprofen he prescribed took care of it easily. The aloha spirit is real at this clinic. I never felt rushed, never felt like "just another patient." Everyone there genuinely cared. Even the music was calming -- and Lynn's soothing singing voice could be its own Spotify playlist. :) I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do, I'm 100% going back to Dr. Shaikh. He and the team turned a scary situation into a totally manageable, even positive, experience. So much mahalo to the whole Hawaii Endodontics crew! read more

I was referred to Hawaii Endodontics for a root canal, and I'm so grateful I ended up in the care of Dr. Shaikh and his team. I came in with a lot of pain and what turned out to be a bad infection. From the start, everyone was kind, professional, and very helpful. They made the entire process so much easier than I expected. Dr. Shaikh took the time to listen to my concerns, and during the procedure, they made sure I was comfortable and not in pain--constantly checking in on me. I truly felt cared for. I know I'll come back if I ever need their help again. I highly recommend them for anyone needing endodontic work. read more

I highly recommend this place to anyone who has phobias with doing root canal's Dr. Sheik will take very good care of you. You will be in out. Love this place. The office receptionist was also very kind. I went in there feeling anxious and they made me feel at ease. read more

Great caring staff and excellent doctor services! Yesterday I walked in with a lot of pain with a same day referral consultation by my dentist, Dr S there was able to perform same day root canal procedure after evaluation by X-ray and thorough discussion. My attending nurse L, was really caring, and felt for my pain throughout the experience. I'm recovering, and able to handle solid food with minimal/pain free this morning. I am grateful and blessed! read more

I have received outstanding care from Dr. Shaikh and staff of Hawaii Endodontics in the past, so it came with no surprises that they would absolutely deliver the finest quality in dental care and professionalism during my visit with them today. From the front office to the chairside auxiliaries to the expertise and thorough, painless, and personal care rendered by Dr. Shaikh , you can expect only the very best. I'm extremely grateful for this experience. Mahalo nui to the whole team at Hawaii Endodontics. Dr. Isaac Akuna read more

I was referred to Dr. Shaikh by my dentist, and I can't say enough amazing things about my experience at his office. Everyone--from the front desk staff to the nurse assisting the doctor--was incredibly kind and helpful. Dr. Shaikh had an excellent bedside manner and thoroughly explained the procedure. If you need an endodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Shaikh. This wasn't my first experience with an endodontist, but it was by far the best! read more

Hawaii Endodontics - Me and the kind,Doctor - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Getting to the "Root" of your problems doesn't have to be a pain!! Emergencies are never scheduled and my sudden fraction of my tooth being chipped off due to a aging filling luckily happened during the week and I was referred to Hawaii Endodontics. Never EVER having the need for a root canal has certainly got me stressed out hearing so many stories of pain and discomfort of course I'm not looking forward to it but called them immediately to schedule an appointment. They have three locations (Honolulu, Aiea and Kailua) with the sense of urgency location certainly isn't an issue for me in fact they did have a same day 11 am available at the Kailua location though since my tooth wasn't severely affected pain wise waiting a couple days is an option I was willing to make since I needed to obviously pay out of pocket and to my luck they had a cancellation on my day off and took it immediately and it was in the Honolulu location woohoo!!!! I'm so lucky to have this process take care of basically immediately I was thrilled to have it settled. Dr. Aimee Kim...a thousand stars to this gem as she was simply phenomenal! I apologize as I can't remember her assistant name but she was just a delight explained everything to me and just knew exactly what was needed to be done. With literally zero pain from the numbing to the whole procedure it was incredible that I had more pain having my filling done in comparison in the expert care of Dr. Kim I was just so relieved. They will take emergency situation if you do have one so please don't hesitate to give them a call as they have many options for you and will give it to you straight of what's the best treatment long term. Thank you Hawaii Endodontics and Dr. Kim you're amazing!! read more

See all

Visit with Dr. Howard Kang was one of the most pleasant dentist visits by far. I felt very well taken care of from the start till the end of my visit. I was at ease from the start of the appointment and my procedure. Should anyone need his expertise I could not recommend him enough as I'd love to. Great personnel also. Keep up the great job! read more

Dr. Sheikh and staff amazing. No pain, quick, friendly. Would recommend. Came back to office because I thought my filling came out. They were friendly, reassured me it was ok. read more

I went into my root canal appointment with lots of anxiety due to my prior traumatic experiences. Dr. Shaikh & his assistant were so kind, patient, understanding and comforting throughout my whole procedure; even prior to my procedure by listening to my traumatic experiences. Dr. Shaikh talked to me every step, reassured me how well I was doing, his assistant was rubbing my shoulder to comfort me, and they really went out of their way to make my entire experience remarkable! It was so amazing I had to call him back when I was ready to leave just to hug him! The best endodontist!!!! read more

Hawaii Endodontics - Amazing Root Canal work completed, now I'm ready to complete at nationals Ms. Plus World Pageant in Atlanta as Ms South Pacific Islands. - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I went in for a root canal after I had been in pain for a few days and it was getting worse. Didn't look like I would get any relief anytime soon bc I would have to reschedule an extraction somewhere else instead of the root canal I went in for. Dr. Shaikh was so kind & helpful and was determined to make sure that I got the relief that I needed. He took the time to actually do the procedure right away instead of having to wait for another appointment elsewhere. He and his staff were so compassionate and professional all the while doing their best to make sure that I was comfortable. Dentist appointments are never really "comfortable" but Dr. Shaikh went above and beyond & made me truly feel valued and cared for. I highly recommend this doctor & this establishment. I am now pain free and almost completely healed and consider myself lucky to been cared for by such amazing people. read more

I had to come from a neighbor island to have a root canal and feel very fortunate to have found this office on Oahu. Not only did they get me in soon, but the care I received from Dr. Liu was exceptional. I had questions and concerns which were addressed with compassion-this meant a lot in to me in an oral surgery type of situation. The whole procedure couldn't have gone more smoothly and I have such high regard for Dr. Liu and the attending staff at Hawaii Endodontics! read more

Excellent staff and Dr. I called Hawaii Endodontics and Jon explained the whole procedure over the phone and helped me book the procedure. From the front end staff to all the support nurses and Dr.. it was a great experience! I even called Courtney who was one of the managers to help explain some of the charges and she was so kind and empathetic in our phone discussion. Bottom line, no post operative swelling and I feel so much better today after seeing in the xrays how infected the tooth was. read more

After leaving Hawaii Endodontics and seeing Dr. Farid Shaikh I was freely able to start cussing at bad drivers in the Hale Pavaa parking structure. I was also able to sing, which I haven't done since I got my previous root canal over a week ago (with a different endodontist), and even speak normally. I was scared to speak normally because the vibration of my own voice would hit the operated tooth and I would get electrical jolts of pain like I bit down on a naked exposed wire. I couldn't yawn normally because closing the mouth would make the teeth touch each other and it would make me wish I could cuss. Prior to not being able to cuss, sing, or talk normally I couldn't sleep or eat normally either. I'd continue to wake up in the unholy hours of 130 AM, stay up until 330 AM and have to get up at 430 AM, and that's after going to bed at 1200 AM and then having to go to work with hardly any sleep. Let's not forget the eating part. I couldn't eat anything but soup and bread on some days. The only times I could even chew on the unaffected side was after Motrin. I sucked down so many Motrin day and night I was worried about my inner organs. If you're probably wondering what was wrong with my other endodontist, it was nothing. He apparently did a good job but the explanation part was sorely lacking (sorely- get it?). I did get a sheet of paper with information on it but that was about it. I called their office after two days of continued severe pain but they didn't have an opening until 2 weeks later. My wonderful dentist pulled some strings and tried to get me in the next day but they called back and said to take antibiotics; I didn't need to necessarily come in but to call them back in 2 weeks. None of that was reassuring - how was antibiotics supposed to help with pain? And more importantly, why was I still having these horrible pains I went to fix in the first place? A part of me felt like a one-night endo-stand. Dr. Shaikh to the rescue! He explains everything, in plain simple English, in detail. The light bulb started coming on in my head. Now I understood things. He showed me the xrays he took, he even did some amazing detective work and pointed out my biting habits, like a forensic dentist. I couldn't believe he pointed out the other side of my mouth where I had cracks in the porcelain enamel, where I didn't have pain but was biting down on almonds before all of this (thanks, Keto diet). He smoothed down the operated tooth so it wouldn't touch the other tooth below so I wouldn't make my post-op inflammation flare-up continuously and prolonging this agony - but how did I know this? Only because Dr. Shaikh explained it! Another thing I loved immediately about Dr. Shaikh is his kindness and caring. He's not eyeing you like a one-night root canal stand; you're a person, and more importantly, a person in pain! He told me I wasn't crazy (I really, really needed to hear this) and that he was going to stick with me and that we were going to figure this out together. I almost cried hearing that. He chose the perfect profession because root canals can be a scary concept but nowadays is no longer scary at all- you just need the right person to help you along. Dr Shaikh also follows up with an email/call, which I appreciated. His staff is super nice and pleasant. The lady at the front desk is perky and friendly. I have a bunch of jacked-up teeth from bad decisions (multiple crowns I was told I needed which were not true at the time) and just getting older in general. I wish I would have found Dr. Shaikh a long time ago, but it's better late than never. I'm recommending Dr. Shaikh to everyone, including my family, friends, patients and co-workers. HUGE TIP: Arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment as the parking at Hale Pavaa can be hugely irritating. I went and there were no parking spaces. I had to wait for someone to leave. RETURN FACTOR: I don't want another root canal or re-treatment but I will definitely know where to come if I do! read more

I have been going to Hawaii Endodontics and Dr. Shaikh for years and always have a great experience, even if it is getting a root canal. Over the weekend my tooth started to throb and thinking I needed a referral from my normal dentist, I reached out to them but they were closed. I'm so grateful that Hawaii Endodontics was open and able to see me the next day! I scheduled for later in the day to accommodate my work schedule, but when the pain got worse overnight I decided to show up at the office first thing in the morning in hopes I could get seen early. Dr. shaikh got me taken care of first thing in the morning. The staff is always very friendly and informative. Whenever I go to Hawaii Endodontics I know whatever issue I'm having will be taken care of in the best way possible. Definitely recommend to everyone! read more

The Doctor and assistant were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I was treated with respect and I felt I was in capable care. I felt no discomfort during the procedure and have minimal discomfort afterwards. Both the doctor and assistant helped to put me at ease. It was a good experience for having a root canal. read more

They took really good care of me while I was in there and the whole team was so kind and helpful through the process even though I had some anxiety going in, but all of that went away because of their patience and kindness. I got a root canal and wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be, I am pleased with the end result and finally less pain !! read more

Everyone in the office was so kind and professional. As someone who gets a lot of anxiety from dental work, I was nervous. Dr. Shaikh and his staff were patient with me, calmed my nerves, and took such good care of me. I felt ZERO pain during the procedure. Everything went smoothly and I was impressed with their attention to detail. He explained my situation well and made sure I understood all of my options for treatment. I highly recommend Hawaii Endodontics! read more

Had a wonderful experience with assistant fallen and Dr. Shaikh doing a root canal. This is my 3rd one and I can say this is the most comfortable I've been getting my teeth worked on. Both Dr. Shaikh and fallen answered all my questions and reassured me when I was a bit scared. It takes me a while to numb and they made sure i was fully numb and comfortable before starting the procedure. Would definitely recommend! Excellent service! read more

I went to Dr. Shaikh after having issues with a temporary crown (my filling broke and after the temporary crown was placed I was in a TON of pain). I had a really bad root canal about 20 years ago (cried for most of it and then passed out at one point because the pain was so bad) and was very nervous about having another one done. Dr. Shaikh completely put me at ease. He listened to my explain my dental history and prior root canal experience as well as my concerns about pain. He assured me he would make it as pain free as possible and laid out all of my options clearly in a way I could fully understand. We made the plan to move forward with the root canal and it was one of the easiest dental procedures I have ever had in my life! I felt absolutely zero pain through the whole procedure. He kept me in the loop about what was happening as we went along and continued to check on me to see how I was doing. The whole experience was 1,000 times better than what I expected when I went in and I am so grateful for him and his team. While nobody wants to go through the experience of having a root canal, I can say that if I had to do it again tomorrow I wouldn't even hesitate to book with him again. I would absolutely recommend booking an appointment if you are in need of any dental treatment that this office provides. Thank you Dr. Shaikh! read more

This was my second successful & pain free root canal done by Dr Shaikh. He is gentle & shows much concern on how I'm feeling. The assistant made sure I was comfortable, offering me blankets, a pillow for my knees, & water, even without my asking. After the anesthesia wore off, I didn't have any tenderness and could sleep through the night without pain meditations. I highly recommend Dr Shaikh. read more

Dr Howard Kang and his staff are incredibly friendly and gentle. I felt zero pain while getting the anesthetic administered.

Dr. Shaikh and the staff were amazing and very kind. He made sure I was comfortable and checked up on me periodically to see if I was doing ok. 10/10 service and if I ever need another root canal I know who I would be going to again. read more

I wasn't happy when my dentist said I would need a root canal and sent me to Hawaii Endodontics. Being my first root canal and hearing horror stories of his painful they can be, I was dreading it. The building and office itself is nice. I didn't really believe Dr Kang when he said I wouldn't feel any pain. After numbing my gums I did not feel any shooting pain, just some pressure every now and then. Dr Kang was very reassuring and calm throughout the whole procedure. You're in good hands with him and sounds like the other doctors are great also. I felt some pain days later maybe because I mistakenly chewed on it during Thanksgiving eating way too much food as I tend to do! Before getting a crown installed I wanted to make sure everything was ok so made another appointment. They found a slot for me and Dr Kang determined it was probably inflammation causing the pain when I tried to open my mouth wide open. He ran a cold test and when I bit down I didn't feel pain so he said the tooth was fine. It feels crazy to say I had a good experience getting a root canal but that is what happened. If you need a root canal I recommend Hawaii Endodontics! read more
