I had a complicated root canal done last year and Dr. Yang was incredible! She worked incredibly…read morehard...2 appointments to save my tooth and she never gave up!! She personally called me at home after the first day to see how I was doing. Today was my one-year check...everything was great. she is very caring, professional and experienced. I would not hesitate to refer her to any of my family and friends.

This is a way overdue review of my very positive experience with Dr. Yang and her practice a few…read moreweeks ago. I was on the verge of either doing a major root canal or losing my molar teeth altogether due to years of severe grinding & bruxism. Because I had severe pain on my lower left molar, my periodontist, after examining me, told me that I needed a root canal for my bottom left molar. He initially referred me to another endodontics dentist in San Mateo to perform the root canal, but I did some additional research and found Dr. Yang (mainly looking at her high Yelp reviews). Because the pain is caused by severe bruxism, I felt that a root canal may not resolve the pain - because I would still grind my teeth after the root canal, so the procedure may be a waste for a teeth grinder like myself. Dr. Yang started out by taking an X-Ray of the painful molar. She then looked closely at the molar and X-Ray, then recommended me to take a 3D Image of the teeth, which I did (based on her recommendations). It turned out that I may not benefit from a root canal, because my problem is related more to a periodontal issue. Rather than recommending a major procedure like a root canal or an extraction with bone-grafting (which could have been more significant procedures that would generate more dollars), Dr. Yang told me she suspects it is more of a periodontal issue, but not root canal. So Dr. Yang referred me to Dr. Ronderos (another teeth-saving, excellent dentist), and she also recommended using softer toothbrush so my receding gum-lines wouldn't get worse. Dr. Yang clearly cares about her patient over just doing the next root canal procedure. Dr. Yang is an excellent example of how every dentist should be: honest, caring, methodical, and with high integrity. I went to see Dr Ronderos, and now, my left bottom molar no longer hurts, and I won't need a root canal and it looks like we can save that tooth. Without Dr. Yang's careful diagnosis and referral to Dr. Ronderos, I would have lost my teeth - either to a root canal or an extraction - neither of which are viable options vs. saving the teeth. If you read my review of Dr. Ronderos, you will see what Dr. R. did for my teeth and my bruxism. My teeth pain is now gone for a few weeks, and I no longer need to lose my natural teeth, thanks to Dr. Yang and Dr. Ronderos. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Yang, putting me on a path of saving my teeth and being an excellent dentist who cares about her patient. I would wholeheartedly trust Dr. Yang and Dr. Ronderos for their high integrity and recommendations. Go see them if you want the best for your teeth.

I had an old crown that fell off while on vacationing back in December 2025. I contact my general…read moredentist hoping it will be a quick fix and replace a new crown. He did some work on the tooth and after couple weeks the tooth started to hurt. I had a root canal in other tooth over 10 years ago so the feeling of sharp pain was very familiar. I called my dentist office to let them know I need a root canal and will be seeing a specialist. My dentist has my permanent crown waiting for me and I thought I could hold off on seeing a specialist, but the root canal pain was unbearable. So I went to see another dentist, Dr. Nguyễn on a Saturday. After xray and assessment, she prescribed me some antibiotics and pain medication. She then referred me to Dr. Chen. I've seen other Endodontist in the past for my other root canal and the experience with Dr. Chen by far was the best experience and I am extremely grateful for her. Dr. Chen was extremely pleasant, explained the entire process in detail, explained during the procedure, and explained to me what to expect after my procedure. She did not only successfully took our four nerve in that one tooth, but also reshaped my top crown, so when my new bottom crown is on, it will not ruin my dental crown. She even suggested, once my crown is placed by my dentist, please come back to her to make sure my bite and crown fit perfectly so it doesn't create problems for me in the future at no cost to me! I do have aggressive grinding and biting so she wanted to make sure I can keep the longevity of my crowns, since we all know this stuff is costly. She genuinely put her patient first, she even waived some charges for me! The office called me the next day to ask how I was doing. The staff and Dr. Chen are so kind and professional. Now, I am sad I won't get to see her again until my next root canal (hope that doesn't happen). If it does, I know where to go. If you want an exceptional, knowledgeable Endodontist who also put your needs ahead of your wallet, I highly recommend Dr. Chen.

The moment you walk in you are greeted by the 3 gals at the front desk. The ambiance from the front desk, patient room and even restroom was so calming. I told my husband that I felt like I went to the spa! The place was nicely lit, super clean, smelled really nice and not overpowering. My experience with the care quality that Dr. Chen and her team carried from check in, explaining what they will be doing to diagnose, plan of care, costs, payments etc was probably the most relaxing experience I've ever had. Even their voices were putting me into a trance lol I have my procedure scheduled until after I deliver my baby. I appreciate that Dr. Chen did not rush this procedure but rather chose to wait for the best interest of my health and pregnancy. That's when I knew I was in good hands. Will be back to review after my procedure.

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!

So when my dentist told me about a month ago I needed a root canal" I was like" Say What"?! I…read morethought he really said( or perhaps imagined) that I was good to go now, and time for me to visit Venice and its canals"??! What was that?? No?!!! "Joey, you need a root canal"!! Is that a new alcoholic mixed drink?~ I was like say what? Last time I was in this chair, a prior dentist said I needed surgery for a cyst..what the heck!! What's up with your dental chairs doc?!! Lol So once I calmed down and slowed down the mental images of a dentist with pliers taking out a root in my tooth, I was much better!! Well not really, but it helps in this review!! So then he said, let me put your mind at ease, I will give you two names of the best local endodontists. They both came highly recommended, so I thought..no big deal , what do I have to lose..except a tooth?! ;-) Ouch!! As I got into my car I thought, what the heck just drive by and check out Dr. Javidan's office! Nestled off El Camino in Southern Palo Alto, very close and convenient for Mt View and Los Altos patients, I entered this modern office. The staff was warm and friendly and accommodating, and Melissa was more than happy to help me with my nervous energy and questions. During this month, after numerous calls to speak with Melissa and direction, my visit/treatment had arrived...today ta-dah !! This is the day of the much-dreaded ROOT CANAL! I was not sure what to expect other than their gracious and kind staff including the doctor. Today was the day!!. I can tell you, they make it as pain-free as possible. The only thing I did not care for was the clamped mouth..cause I could not speak..or if I did, it sounded like jibberish!! I am sure some friends and family would love to this on my mouth when they utter..you talk way tooooo much!! Lol- Hence my reviews! :) All I can say is you need a friendly much-needed pain free root canal procedure..Dr. Javidan is the one you need to see.:) They even have net flicks to watch, today I watched Mayberry RFD, many too choose from. I figured I would pass on the newest Netflix movie.."The Haunted Tooth" ;-) kidding!! Seriously, this will be the place for all my coming root canals!! You think I am joking, nope they put me at ease and it was virtually pain-free!! Thank you Dr. Javidan and staff!!

So - I've had a root canal, a successful one (until it proved to be failing on X-ray) for probably…read more16 or so years, possibly longer - it was done in Kyiv, Ukraine. So far, any dental professional I've seen has expressed concern for the tooth because while it was upholding, it was clear that it would be somewhat an endeavor should I ever need treatment on it. Calmly, at our first appointment, Dr Javidan identified the material and didn't seem in the very least worried. The procedure was split into two sessions and thank goodness - due to the sheer amount of of numbing I needed, I couldn't really hang in for much longer. As for Dr Javidan - I have zero complaints, she's confident, competent and she put me at ease with her 'let's get this done' attitude. She saved my tooth - no implant yet, so huge thank you! Also - her assistants for both procedures were fantastic - caring and understanding of my request (I have a thing with suction device) and both times my request was heeded.
