I was referred to Dr Sharon Lu by my Dentist Dr Charlene Castro to review and treat a problem associated with bone loss on one of my molars. We met and had an initial review consisting of x-rays and other materials to determine a plan of action. I could have opted to try to save the tooth using bone grafting techniques or to be referred to another doctor for implants. After consulting with Dr Lu, she recommended trying to save the tooth over a dental implant. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Dr Lu was most professional and caring with the treatment plan. She's very personable, and was truly concerned with my wellbeing during the treatment. Her office staff were also professional in contacting me regarding upcoming treatments to ensure I didn't miss any appointments. I highly recommend you contact Dr Lu for any Endodontic needs. read more

The best endodontist on the planet, seriously. Coming from another dentist that is the highest compliment. She's very knowledgeable, intelligent, and gentle, everything you would want in an Endodontist. She's got the newest equipment in her high tech office. If you ever need a root canal you want to keep Dr. Lu's number handy. Happy Yelping! read more

My 13 year old needed a root canal on her front tooth due to an injury. She was very nervous but Dr. Lu was amazing and kind and explained the process step by step to my daughter and she felt zero pain! Very pleasant experience I recommend. Amazing experience. read more

I was referred to Dr. Lu. for pain on a newer root canal. She ran lots of test and found the issue of my pain. I previously went to three other dentist for the pain and they all thought I might need an implant. She was thorough, patient and kind. I didn't need implant after all. I'm so glad I was referred to her and I'll continue to see her in the future. read more

Seven years after being hit by a drunk hit n run driver there was a injury to my face that over those years had eaten away the bone and left a huge hole above my front tooth where a cystic legion had grown. Dr Lu was who I was referred to, and had the most top notch technology right in her office to easily see what was going on. It turned out it was a complex surgery to not only fix the cystic legion but I wanted to save my original tooth as I am a singer and definitely do not want any changes to my voice or waiting a whole year for an implant with a flip tooth. She did more than I could have ever expected. She maintained contact with me for months after and answered any issues I had during recovery. Now we have seen the whole area that was missing bone grow back in and she saved my tooth! Everyone in the office is kind and her whole space is extremely clean. I have been returning to her for any other issues and have sent friends to her that had the same experience as myself. She cares so much about your health and you really will feel that. She is definitely one of my most trusted people I have ever met in healthcare. Thank you Dr Lu!! read more

Dr. Lu is the GOATS's GOAT. Highly highly recommended as my root canal procedure could not have been done any better. Pricey, but worth every penny!!! read more

I cannot say enough about the quality of professional care we received from Lu Endodotics. Before coming to Dr. Lu, I had brought my daughter to another endodontist who, after two separate attempts, was unsuccessful in numbing her mouth enough for a root canal. I was told she needed to be put under ($1600 for anesthesia alone!). Not wanting to go this route, I called Dr. Lu, who had been on vacation when the problem first arose. I knew from my own experience, a few years prior, how experienced and knowledgeable she is in the field of dentistry. She made time in her busy schedule to accommodate us, as she felt she could numb her enough for the surgery. It took patience and skill but Dr. Lu was successful and performed the root canal. She was gentle, reassuring and didn't rush the job. She took the time to explain each step and gave us an understanding of the innovative technical equipment she uses. Her staff is professional as well as personable and put my daughter at ease. I was able to avoid the risk of putting my daughter under and had peace of mind knowing she was getting excellent care. If you are in need of a skilled endodontist, look no further. Dr Lu is as good as it gets!! read more

Dr. Lu and her office was a fantastic place to visit. I had some dental complications that she was able to diagnose and provide a care plan. A major part of that plan was re-doing a root canal. It's been a few months now since my last visit and no issues have occur since then. I am looking forward to my standard follow-up in a few months. read more

Front check-in area is so clean, Angie greeted me as I walked in. All staffs are very sweet and friendly, Dr. Lu is very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk to. Got my root canal done on the same day! I highly recommend Dr. Lu : ) read more

I was excited to have dr Lu working on my tooth. But so much of what she said to me, didn't make sense and rude. I'm going to try to be as fair as possible. I called on Monday and asked if they had any availabilities. The person who I was speaking with, said they have 4:15pm spot on the same day. So I was like: "yes I can make the drive down there". Mind you, I'm from LA and PROVIDED ALL THE INSURANCE INFO prior. When I got there, the front desk tried to check me in, dr Lu came up told her to help the other lady who was also there which I don't mind. So I sat down, about 5 minutes later her intern called me up again, however dr Lu again told her to charge the other lady consultation fee. They called me up the THIRD time, to collect my information. Told me sit down, the FOURTH time the intern called me up again to inform the treatment. She informed me that I have to pay $198 up front (which I don't mind). However, I told her my insurance should have covered it. She went and talked to dr Lu, she came out. This is where the whole interaction went south. I: I was just at a dentist 3 days ago, and my insurance covered the whole consultation. So I think you guys should be covered. Dr Lu: we don't call insurance anymore. As they take hours to pick up so we can't check. (WHAT?!?) I: I understand. If you wanted $198 to be paid up front since you don't check with insurance anymore. Don't you think the person who scheduled me should have let me know? Dr Lu: Yeah they should. But today I only see emergencies you can read the sign at the door. We squeezed you in (so she did me a favor?) I: Nobody told me that either. You said you had 4:15pm available so I showed up. Dr Lu: well insurance should reimburse you once we file a claim. I: Okay I don't mind to pay at all. Are you sure they going to reimburse me? Dr Lu: No I don't know. If you are not happy you shouldn't move forward with us. You know we are specialist who don't deal with insurance. And your general dentist who prefer you who should have told you. (WHAT?!?) I don't know if she was having a stressful day, but her logic makes no sense. And the way she runs her office is so unorganized. She kept making her intern dropped whatever the girl was doing, to do what she told her. The intern and I were just chilling, and every time Dr Lu involved, she made the interaction worse. Everything was my faults: I didn't read the sign at the door when I showed up with a SCHEDULED appointment, I didn't know she doesn't deal with insurance because they takes forever to pick up the phone, I didn't appreciate unknowingly they squeeze me in on her emergency day only, I should have known they charge $198 up front when nobody informed me. This whole interaction with Dr Lu was mind blogging. It is not what you say, but how you say it. Dr Lu doesn't have efficient communication and customer service skills. I thought I was arguing with my sister since she wanted to win the argument so badly. read more

I LOVED my experience w/Dr. Lu! Which is funny because I had a root canal, but from the first visit to today I have been nothing, but impressed! This was my very first root canal & Dr. Lu took time w/me to explain everything that she would be doing to complete the root canal. On D-Day, I arrived and was immediately welcomed & treated w/kindness. Dr.Lu worked very quickly & I NEVER felt any pain! After finished she showed me of pictures of what was done to my tooth. Trish was EXCELLENT and very kind & followed all directions given by Dr. Lu. Overall I would give Dr. Lu, the team that worked on my tooth & the office staff a 10+ read more

I highly recommend Dr. Lu! I anticipated my root canal to be a very painful procedure but it wasn't, thanks to Dr. Lu. Dr. Lu and her assistant, Tricia, calmed me with their caring approach.

Thank you, thank you, Lu Endodontics!!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Lu for a couple of root canal procedure now. Once in 2012 and again this past months. Coming to her again reminds me how wonderful she is with her treatment. Her office is modern, clean and comfortable. She has all the newest technology to X-ray and 3D scans to be able to diagnose my situation and come up with a plan to treat it instantly. I love that. There isn't a need to wait for results and come back for another appointment etc. Who likes to keep going back to a Endodontist office, I don't know. This visit, I am dealing with two fairly serious situation where I had to get a root canal done in France while visiting last year. The Endodontist there did a terrible job with my cracked tooth and a year later I am finding out that his work has caused my gums to be infected. Dr. Lu diagnosed the problem, explained them clearly and planned a procedure to extract and do an implant. This normally would seem to be an extensive procedure and a daunting one. Her approach was simple and easy to understand. We are now half way through the procedure and I can not be happier. Having all the technology at her office really help with being able to attend to the actual problem immediately. I love being her patient and will recommend her to any one who needs work by an Endodontist. read more

I was given a referral to Dr. Lu for my first root canal treatment by my primary dentist and could not have been happier.

It has been a couple of months and I have had no issues. I would recommend her without reservation! read more

I appreciate the careful health protocols and time taken to explain. The doctor was nice and they were efficient and modern.

Got referred to Dr Lu for root canal and as with most everyone I was not excited! Very anxious dental patient. Dr Lu was so calm and nice right from the evaluation.

Dr. Lu and staff are exceptional in their professionalism, wellbeing and caring towards their patients. With the state-of-the-art equipment and technology used, never once did I feel like major dental work was being performed (extremely gentle and soothing). Absolutely fabulous experience and service! Highly recommend! read more

Dr Lu helped me with a infected root cannal. She not only cured the infection but did it without forcing me to replace the crown above itl That is not something she has to do but is sure saved me a lot of money. She also uses a less invasive set up as being restrained in closed spaces bothers me a lot. A pervious doctor used a large wedge in my mount to keep my month open and a screen that covered my whole face so I couldn't see. I couldn't handle that. Dr Lu uses a small rubber wedge with is easily removed and a small screen which cover the lower part of you face which is much less stressful. She can also prescribe mild anxiety medication for those who need them. Definitely as good as it gets. read more

Awesome staff very nice and professional! Great work and super clean office. 10/10 Recommend!

Hey there fellow yelpers! My name is Elyse and I was Dr. Lu's back office Dental Assistant from October 2015 to January 2017/2018. I am happy to say, if I had to have a root canal treatment done, Dr. Lu is the specialist I would prefer to see. She has exceptional chairside manner and not only is her #1 concern her patients, but she is very thorough. She explains each step as she goes to let patient know exactly what she is doing. You can check the testimonials on the office website: luendo.com. If you're in need of endodontic treatment, give her office a call! read more

Dr. Lu and her assistant Tanya are extremely professional and caring. I came in for a root canal 6 months ago with a rather severe infection and Dr. Lu was able to save my tooth. Her office uses up to date technology to ensure that patients receive the best care that they can get. Most dentists after collecting their money from a procedure would just leave a patient on their own but Dr Lu has been there for me every step of the way. One of the things I appreciated most was her easing my anxiety by clearly explaining every step of the procedure to me and making sure no questions were left unanswered. After my root canal I have had multiple follow up calls and visits to ensure that I am okay. I would highly recommend Dr. Lu to all my friends and family who may need endodontic services. Also she is in-network for those with MetLife coverage for dental. read more

My wife had tooth pains while we were in town. and Dr. Lu was able to squeeze us in for a consultation and evaluation despite our limited availability and her busy schedule. Filling out the forms online ahead of time was a breeze, and the staff was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. When we arrived, we called to let them know so that we can follow their covid-19 safety protocol, which we really appreciated given that we had our kids with us and they didn't qualify for the vaccine yet. The dental office was spotless, and there were multiple professional-grade air filters, hand sanitizers, and foot gloves for people to wear to minimize their contact. All of the staff were doubly-masked with their hair tied and hands covered, and everything in the office was individually wrapped to limit potential exposure, which made us feel very safe with our kids there. Dr. Lu went through a very thorough exam with us, using the fanciest instrument and camera that I have ever seen at a dental office, and she took the time to explain to us what she would recommend if she were in our situation. We ended up not needing to get any major procedures done given that we were headed back home soon and my wife's pain had subsided, but Dr. Lu took the initiative to share with us our x-rays and referred us to her professional network near our home so that we can get the issues taken care of using the best prosthodontist, endodontist, and oral surgeon that we can find for the same cost, which we never realized actually existed. Dr. Lu offered to talk to the dentist when we found one that we liked so that we did't have to repeat the exams and x-rays and she can share with them what we really needed instead of being oversold. Never during the entire experience did we feel rushed, forced, or talked down to. If there is ever going to be an exceptional, Apple-like experience for dentistry, then Dr. Lu's office would be it. Thank you for making time for us and ensuring that we had the best dental care available! read more

I just had a root canal procedure done last week by Dr. Lu and she was absolutely fantastic. I was told by another orthodontist that my tooth was cracked and had to be extracted. Come to find out, It was not cracked; however, it was infected. She was able to remove the infection using high tech. equipment and save my tooth. Her staff was friendly, thorough and organized. Even during off business hours you can call and she would call you back. The office was always clean and provided a safe environment. I highly recommend Dr. Lu for any orthodontic issues.

Beachwood Newport j Dr. Lu and her team of professional staff did an amazing job to prepare me for my root canal procedure.She has the top of the line 3D imagery technology, so she knows precisely where each of my roots were and was able to go directly through my temporary crown and ultimately back fill my roots directly up to the surface of the crown. Thus enabling me to be in and out of her office in an hour and a half. There was no immediate need for me to go directly to my dentist for a permanent crown. I highly recommend Dr. Lu for all your Endodontics needs.The entire procedure was fairly quick and painless. Sincerely, David Trcka read more
