This location specializes in dental work such as root canals. I needed to have a root canal done,…read moresomething which I've never needed done before. This location, being close to my home was a natural place to go to. Let's be honest, this isn't the sort of place you want to go to unless necessary. But if you have to, it's best to have some place that works with you and helps you through a difficult time in your life. The staff are friendly and helpful. I saw Dr. Melissa Harmon. Dr. Harmon took good care of me. She prescribed some medication for the pain (which hasn't been too bad). One medication the pharmacist refused to fill, due to some regulatory issues. I called Westside Endodontics and Dr. Harmon really went the extra mile to get my issue resolved. I was able to get the medication filled the next day. Very good customer service! Hopefully, you won't need to have a root canal done. However, if you must, I highly recommend Westside Endodontics.

I informed him of past breast cancer and that I avoid unnecessary radiation as much as possible. The dentist said that without the x-rays he could not do his job. I asked if he could do a visual exam and I will allow x-rays if needed when a problem arises. The dentist said to go somewhere else.

First of all, who writes to customers anyway? And who actually take the time to look at their challenges, fixes it, and let the customer know of the outcome? I think that's a top notch customer service. Here's the rest of the review. The decor is super fancy with leather couches, jazz music softly playing in the background, paintings & exotic artifacts throughout. Apparently, this office has been nominated numerous times for "top dentists" & "patients' choice" awards. The dentist and the dental assistant were very friendly, pleasant, and caring. The dentist explained things he's doing to test and what the solutions are in easy to understand terms. They got the exact figures $$ for me before deciding to go for the procedures so I don't get an unpleasant surprise later. I got my root canal done super fast and had no problems physically and financially. Glad I finally was able to chew pain free after a year!!

I have never received such incredible care from a doctor or his staff. I had to have a root canal…read morere-done after another dentist didn't do a proper job. The staff was kind and got me in the following day. Dr. Chavez came in and explained everything to me in plain English, so that even a non-endodontist like me could understand it! He walked me through why the other root canal had failed, what he was going to do and what to expect. The procedure itself took about 15 minutes. I was never in any discomfort during the procedure. I was given after-care instructions & a follow up appointment for the following week. Due to a horrible bacterial infection in the tooth and bone, I was in agonizing pain once the numbness wore off. I called Dr. Chavez's office and they spoke with the doctor and decided to give me a stronger antibiotic and some medication for the pain. They even gave my husband the Doctor's personal number, in case there were any issues at the pharmacy. Over the weekend, the pain was constant & wouldn't stop. My husband called the Doctor's personal cell phone and Dr. Chavez spoke with my husband, calmed our anxiety, and gave us instructions to better manage the pain. His staff called me the following Monday to check on me. I was still hurting and they told me I could come in. We got there at 5 till 12:00 when they were about to close for their lunch hour. I felt awful coming in when they were about to close but they all assured me they wanted to make sure I was taken care of and feeling better. Dr. Chavez came in and spoke with me about my symptoms & we decided to try numbing me again in order to give the antibiotics more time to start working. After the shots, the pain was so much better. I woke up this morning and what had been a screaming 10 on the pain scale was now a 1.5. I still have some slight discomfort but it is day and night compared to even yesterday. Then, this evening at 7:30, Dr. Chavez called us to see how I was feeling and to go over my options for my next appointment. I can't say enough good things about how much I love this Doctor and his staff! I have been cared for with such a high level of care & expertise & I'm so grateful that what has been one of the most painful times of my life, I had a doctor who took incredible care of me! While I hope you never have to have a root canal redone (I wouldn't wish this on anyone!) if you do need an endodontist, you can't go wrong with Dr. Chavez & Endodontics Associates-they're truly the best!

He didn't listen to me at all when I tried to explain what was going on, talked over me and abruptly cut me off (after suggesting I needed ANOTHER root canal in another adjoining tooth) to say that he could do the root canal or we could schedule it for some other time. I've been to two specialist since and neither one thinks I need a root canal, particularly in the tooth he suggested and even better, my pain ISN'T TOOTH RELATED AT ALL! If this yahoo had taken just a few moments to talk to his damn patient instead of just pushing me through like a root canal factory, he might have noticed. The tooth he told me I needed a root canal on has NO indicators for needing a root canal. Bottom line, always get a second opinion, especially if the first comes from this guy! He was so rude and my experience was so negative! STAY AWAY!

He did not explain why I needed so much work, even when questioned he offered nothing. His 1st words to me were somewhat of an insult in indicating that I had had a lot of work done like I had not been to a dentist and taking care of my teeth over the past 6 decades, when in fact I have been going to a dentist at least twice a year for at least the last 25 years. It is not just him however, the wording in the initial paperwork is rather terse in that it threatens to discharge you if you fail to give your entire medical history. I dental assistant had great difficulty placing the device to take x-rays and had to keep repositioning it just to get a single x-ray. When you take the whole mouth, that is way more than one should actually have to have. She also kept blaming the equipment. The hygenist never introduced herself to me. While she was describing each tooth with a number to the dental assistant who was recording it seemed like they were just talking to each other in their lab at school rather than just treat me like a human being. If you want to have an interactive relationship with your dentist this is not the one to see.
