My dentist referred me to Dr. Kerr. This was my first root canal and I was a little worried. I kept hearing about the pain and suffering of getting a root canal. They had the latest in equipment. I started off with a CT scan to get a 3D image of my teeth along with digital x-rays of my teeth. Dr. Kerr was fast and efficient. Before I knew it it was all over. The only pain I felt was the initial injections of lidocaine before my mouth went numb. The office staff was nice and friendly. We ended up talking about foreign travel and how one of their friends caught the last plane back to America before the pandemic restricted all flights. They were part of my in-network dental insurance and charged a fair price for a root canal according to the software our company gave us to determine fair pricing for our zip code. read more

Fantastic team! Dr. Kerr is absolutely amazing--I can't say enough good things. If I could, I'd give them 10 out of 5 stars!

I really appreciated how clean and modern the facility is. The front desk staff and assistants were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The doctor was excellent--worked efficiently and made my root canal as smooth as possible. I also really like how they communicate, especially with appointment reminders. I came in a second time thinking my temporary seal might have been exposed, and they got me in and out quickly both times. Overall, a great experience and a top-notch office. read more

My dentist has referred me 3 times to Dr Kerr for 2 root canals and 1 apicoectomy (endodontic surgery). All painless when done by Dr Kerr. He finishes root canals in 30 minutes. He's the best in the Phoenix area. He is a Board Certified Endodontist and educator. He is one of only 25% of endodontists to complete the certification process. He teaches and oversees the endodontic curriculum and endodontic care in the AEGD (Advanced Education in General Dentistry) program at AT Still - ASDOH. He currently serves as President of the Arizona Endodontic Association. If you want to save a tooth, go see him. read more

I was nervous going in for my first root canal. I was scheduled with another Endodontist company who my dentist referred me to first. The other company was super unprofessional, out of network, and was super expensive. I called Cigna for my in-network care & came across Kerr Endodontics! Kerr got me in-and-out the door within 30-40mins for my root canal. They explained everything they were doing step by step so I could understood the process. Kerr sent all of my x-rays and paperwork over to my dentist and they put my temporary crown on the following Thursday. They also provide notes for your employer if you need to submit forms for excused absences. I had a great experience getting this done! read more

Had a root canal done on a molar with three nerves. Dr. Kerr is the best at needle injecting the numbing stuff. He explains everything he's doing, they have the latest technology, he was very professional as well as his assistant Tara. I would go to him again, if I ever need another root canal. read more

I just got home from my second visit to Dr. Kerr for a root canal. Shots and open mouth are never pleasant. Everything else was very pleasant. His demeanor was amazing. What an upbeat man. He was working with a newer assistant and treated her very well informing her on small details of each tool he needed, and why. As I told him as I was leaving, I hope to never see him again, but if I do I know it will be a very good experience. Thanks, Dr. Kerr! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Kerr by my wonderful general dentist, Dr. Mark Anderson, DDS. I was bummed to even need a root canal. Dr. Kerr's front office staff was wonderful and consistent. It was obvious the entire team communicates well with Dr. Kerr. All questions were answered promptly and clearly. They checked in with me often. My particular situation was not as simple as we anticipated. Dr. Kerr was up front when he said the anatomy of my tooth was 'a bit tricky.' In fact, I saw Dr. Kerr a total of four times for the same tooth. Even though I knew four visits wasn't necessarily the norm, I sensed confidence and calmness. Dr. Kerr was committed to success. He was patient and allowed time for healing to occur. Without a doctor willing to listen to the patient, outcomes can be negatively affected. Dr. Kerr always pulled up a stool and let me provide thorough input before making any decision. I'm thankful to Dr. Kerr and team for a successful, professional, and painless experience! read more

Really great experience with a root canal by Dr Kerr. Office staff was nice too. Dr Kerr even offered to refund my bill if it turned out that the root canal needed any further treatment like extraction. I'm glad to have found a good endodontist near me! read more

Friendly and professional staff! Great experience under the circumstances with a root canal

Wow! I am so happy that I went to Dr. Kerr. I have been in and out of dental offices with a cavity problem and finally I was referred to Dr. Kerr for a root canal. I wasn't sure if it was a root canal but he went through the possibilities of what it could be and assured me that it was indeed a root canal and that he would fix me up. I have terrible dental anxiety but his assistant and him were so wonderful and warm. They let me watch TV during my treatment (which only lasted 35 minutes!) and kept checking on me throughout the procedure. Unfortunately I dont have dental insurance so this procedure was PRICEY. But right up front they told me the cost and I truly appreciated that. The care they provide was worth it. Thank you! read more

I usually don't post a review. But this doctor and the nurse were so awesome. I had a root canel done with minimal pain. They were really fast and knew exactly what needed to be done. Bedside manner was amazing! I will make him my to-go family root canal doctor! Highly recommend ! read more

Went here yesterday for a root canal. Fun times.lol. This is the second one I've done here and it was a very positive experience. The staff is great and Dr. Kerr is fantastic. I get the nitrous oxide because I'm a baby. It really makes the whole process very low stress. No pain whatsoever during the procedure. A little pinch with the shots and a little sore about six hours later but nothing a few ibuprofen couldn't handle. The billing process is pretty easy and straightforward. They called me the day before and let me know exactly how much it would be so there is no surprises. Hopefully you don't need any major dental work done but if you do, here is the place. Just a little sidebar: I am absolutely terrified to get my teeth worked on. read more

I saw Dr. Kerr today for a root canal procedure. His staff was incredible! Everyone was so nice! The receptionist was knowledgeable about my procedure and was friendly, quick and efficient in processing my paper work. The dental assistant put me at ease immediately by guiding me through the pre -op requirements in such a kind and cheerful way. By the time the doctor got to me I was relaxed and ready for him to begin. The whole operation only lasted about 30 minutes and it was quite painless. I am exceptionally satisfied with Dr Kerr and recommend him highly! read more

I was referred by my excellent dentist, Dr. Patrick Calalang to Dr. Mark Kerr for a root canal on a crowned front tooth. Dr. Kerr has a lovely and welcoming office and staff. Dr. Kerr also possesses a warm and caring manner and both he and his staff immediately put you at ease. Initially, Dr. Kerr was careful to be sure the root canal was the appropriate procedure. After he concurred that a root canal was indeed indicated he performed the procedure as painlessly and professionally as possible. I have had numerous root canals and this was, by far, the easiest. Dr. Calalang has years of experience and he highly recommended Dr. Kerr. In my experience his faith is wholly justified. I have had numerous negative experiences with dentistry in the past. Therefore, I know there are huge variations of competency and ethics in this profession. Consequently, I am particularly appreciative of exceptional professionals in the field like Dr. Kerr & Dr. Calalang. read more

Best Root Canal Experience EVER. Dr. Kerr takes his time explaining what is happening as he does your procedure and does his best to reassure you throughout. STAFF IS AMAZING. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

I have heard horror stories of root canals and I was terrified to have my first root canal. Fortunately, my first experience was with Dr. Kerr. I can honestly say it was not bad at all and everyone was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I did not feel the procedure one bit. The staff quotes the price before your procedure so you know the total before hand. I highly recommend this Dentist for root canals. read more

It would be shockingly easy to mistake a visit to Kerr Endodontics for a visit to a classy day spa. Just ignore that big shiny drill in the corner... But seriously, this place is posh! From the first moment you walk through the doors you are greeted by plum and gray colors, soothing music, and smiling faces. There is a natural stone floor, pleasant artwork on the walls, and a small cooler with free bottled water and juices to enjoy while you wait. Once in the oh-so-comfortable dentist chair, you'll have your own personal television and remote, so you can channel surf while getting your root canal. The assistants are skilled and friendly, and the office manager is very good with working with your insurance company. Dr. Kerr himself is appropriately professional and takes the time to explain your condition and treatment plan. Let's be honest -- Nobody actually WANTS to visit the dentist. But if you must, Kerr Endodontics makes the experience as painless (literally) as possible. read more

My regular dentist said I needed a root canal. I told her I wanted it to be done someplace that could sedate me if I needed. They referred me here. Dr. Kerr was able to get me in the same day. after talking to the dental assistant I decided nitros oxide would be good enough. The tooth wasn't hurting so that was a good choice. Everything went great. No pain or anxiety. They charged me less than I thought they would as well. I need to get some other work done and I'm definitely going here to get done. read more

Woke up on Monday with a toothache not having one when I went to bed. I was able to see my family dentist the same day and he dropped the "you need a root canal" bomb on me. My dentist does not do root canals so I was given a referral to Dr Kerr. I was nervous to even make the phone call but luckily I was greeted with a friendly voice and helpful staff member. I was seen the same day I called, thank God! Dr Kerr and his nurses were very good at explaining everything and I felt NOTHING! Not even the shot.....which I am terrified of! In my opinion Dr Kerr is amazing and very kind. His staff was top notch and I am so very thankful for their help. read more

I would give this place a "0" if I could. I would say their customer service was pathetic to be frank. I was referred here by my dentist office and from the original phone call never had a great feeling. So I know that usually they charge for a CT Scan and had already had one and inform. I felt like I was being interrogated from the front office lady asking where I got it from and all these questions. Then upon me going to my visit Dr. Kerr informed me both my teeth would need surgery (which when I went to the other Endodontics, which I would highly recommend, it turned out not to be the case)! Also, I received a bill from them for $80 from my consultation visit! So I call to see why I was billed and the lady informs me my insurance apparently only allows two a year which after your cleaning and the dentist sees you counts for one. So I ask if they've had my insurance well before my consult visit how did they not know this because I would've obviously waited 10 more days, which would've been 2019. My dentist in Scottsdale would inform me every detail about my insurance. I asked if they would be willing to waive since I'm coming there for two surgeries and you would've thought I asked the lady for $80 out of her own pocket. She made it seem like I was trying to rob them and literally told me i was "trying to get free service!" So I gave them their $80 and requested to cancel my surgery as I will gladly go elsewhere! I would not recommend this place to anyone. They are money hungry with no customer service skills OR professionalism! Just in case some think this is a cheap guy's review or something that would be wrong. I have previously went to get my wisdom teeth out and asked prior to the visit will there be any charges and they told me no. Upon arrival they immediately did a CT Scan and charged me $240 for it. I paid it that day and still gave them 4 stars! read more

I have been a patient of various Dentists and/or Endodonists since I was eight years of age and I am now 65. Dr. Kerr is at the top of my list for being professional and thorough. Dr. Kerr takes great care to make sure his patients feel comfortable asking any questions and understand what is going to happen. He also checked with me throughout the procedure to make sure I was comfortable. In addition, Dr. Kerr has an excellent assistant Natalie who was professional and experienced. They worked well as a team to complete my treatment. I am a very satisfied customer. After the final appointment, Natalie made a follow up call to me to make sure I was doing fine and as expected. I would recommend Dr. Kerr to family and friends any time. read more

Such a great Place. So caring and patient. They made me feel comfortable before during and after my root cancels. Thank you for a great staff and thanks to Dr Kerr. read more

Had to have another Root canal yesterday. This guy should have 10 stars. Painless, Professional, and such a caring staff.

Dr Kerr and his staff are simply wonderful. Had another root canal done with him yesterday. He was prompt, informative and very kind. The staff are amazing. They all work together like a well oiled machine. You can tell they all get along and respect one another. During the procedure, everyone says please to each other. The atmosphere is very comforting. I would highly recommend this practice and everyone that works there. read more

Yesterday, I went to Dr Kerr for an endo procedure on tooth number 3. I was nervous, so I decided to wait until the week of Thanksgiving, despite pain for the past few months. As soon as I walked in, the staff put me at ease. The assistant Sara was so kind and sweet, giving me water and a blanket. She was extremely fast and efficient with the x-rays, plus she purged both the high and low speed suctions with special cleaners before they used it on me. I was very glad that she strictly follows OSHA guidelines and standards. The doctor himself was very nice and kind. He gave me the best injections I've had in my life. Even the palatal injection, which I thought would hurt, was painless. He was very efficient at doing my root canal, and he did a beautiful job. As a second year dental student, when I looked at the X-ray at the end of procedure, I was amazed at how precise, talented, and experienced Dr. Kerr was. ASDOH dental residents are very lucky to have Dr Kerr as an instructor. He was professional, but most importantly, he had compassion. Throughout the procedure, he made sure I was doing okay. I absolutely loved the experience I had at his office and would recommend it to whoever wants a quality, painless procedure done by a very compassionate doctor and staff. Thank you Dr Kerr, and thank you Sara and all the staff for making this a very pleasant experience for me. I just drank some cold water and felt absolutely no pain for the first time in months. Thank you for relieving my pain. read more

Thank you Dr. Kerr, Lisa, Patrice, Tatum and the rest of the staff for making my first root canal experience a pleasure. From the moment I walked into the office until I left, everyone was so helpful and professional. Dr. Kerr's gentle touch made the whole process from the injection to the completion of the root canal painless. I will definitely recommend this office. read more

Dr Kerr is amazing! I had the best experience with him. It was painless, and that was most important. It was a last minute appointment, they were able to squeeze me in to their busy schedule. I didn't feel like he rushed me out of that I was just another number. I was a person. He was friendly, informative and knowledgeable. If I ever need a root canal again, I will definitely go back to Dr Kerr. You won't be sorry. read more

5/22/2013 In response to the Dentist saying he has not identified me as a patient: I am a patient I'm just smart enough to not use my real name on the internet. Trust me, I sure was a patient, and I sure WAS refused service on a tooth that was so infected that I had to go back to my dentist later for a drain- by emergency. When my husband wasn't able to make the shockingly high payment for it, I was refused service. This is all true, and the fact you told me it was my fault, shows me that I was correct in my original review. read more

WORST SERVICE EVER! Waited over 4 hours for a root canal... just to see him. He said he would waive part of the fees because of the wait instead I was billed 2 months later for almost double ($300) what I had paid upfront. I had specifically asked them what my maximum cost would be. I would not recommend this Dentist ever read more

This practice came highly reccomened by my Dentist, who only does general dentistry. He informed me that the procedure I needed to have done was rather complex, and should only be done by a specialist. The office staff are about as good as can be. Informative, personable, and addressed and answered all of my questions. Though the procedure is anything but comfortable, two days after having it done, I am now pain free. The doctor was meticulous! read more

Greetings, I'm sorry Dr. Kerr's office received 2 really negative reviews. I had a great experience with him, he helped me with an apico and I don't think I could have asked for a better person to do it. He explained to me what he was doing when I asked, and even went into more detail than I was expecting. His assistants were helpful and very efficient, made the process of being in his office quite comfortable. I think Dr. Kerr definitely knows his field quite well. He was very up front with me and gave me options and best suggestions. I agree with the poster in 2007, he is quite professional. He has a lot of patience, and never hesitated to stop what he was doing and ask if I was in pain at all. I would recommend him to others' who are in a similar situation that I was in. Thanks. read more

Great experience. Friendly staff here makes you feel very comfortable and welcome. Dr. Kerr was very polite, patient and informative. I had to get a shot I hardly felt it! I'd recommend anyone come here. read more

I've read the reviews. And really the quality of care was not mentioned in any of them. The service here is fantastic and I'd recommend this Dr to anyone. And the staff are fantastic!!!! I'd give more than 5 if I could read more

My first root canal, done someplace else was one of the worst experiences of my life. I just had my second root canal here and it was painless. Everyone in office was amazing. I would not go anywhere else for a root canal in the future. read more

Dr. Kerr and his staff are amazing. From start to finish, everybody is extremely professional, informative, enthusiastic about their jobs, and reassuring. Not a grump in the bunch. I never had to wait past my appointment time. They are efficient and thorough. One never looks forward to dental work... but I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I was referred to Dr Kerr's office by my long time dentist Dr Robert Walker Jr., for issues with a root canal that had out lived it's time. I have some bone loss going on and need to decide to redo or extract the tooth. The office was clean and I was greeted quickly and the paperwork was not daunting. The tech set me up and took an x Ray that was shared on an overhead screen when Dr Kerr came in the room. He was very friendly and direct with my condition and the courses of treatment available. We decided to send me to A. T. Still Dental college in Mesa for a 3D scan of my mouth to map the nerves and get more detail about the surrounding teeth. Dr Kerr was very frank about my prognosis w/o scaring me. Right now, I'm waiting for the reading of the scan and will probably be referred to a surgeon for extraction and then an implant. I would give 5 stars when I get done with this whole thing. I would recommend Dr Kerr because of the comfort level and the professionalism balanced with his frankness. I went in with open eyes and knowing what my insurance would cover with him. read more

Dr Kerr, Tara & rest of staff are amazing, professional and most importantly KIND!!! They eased my over the top anxiety! Made my root canal procedure literally painless and quick!!! If I could give them 100 stars I would!!! read more

I'm sorry, I couldn't disagree more about the reviewer that said Dr. Mark Kerr and his staff were incompetent and unfriendly. Add me to the list of people who can't stand dentists. I went to him on a recommendation from my general dentist and I'm glad I did. I had numerous problems arise, including the fact that no matter what he tried, I couldn't get numbed up for the procedure. He never once stated that I was making things up, he worked through it, and patiently waited until the numbing was complete- two hours later. They then called me several times to ask how my pain level was doing after the procedure- and, as a matter of fact, even told me that it WOULD hurt for up to a week afterwards. I have zero pain tolerance, and yes, root-canals DO hurt. That isn't the dentist's fault- that is just the way it is. They even explain about it, that the ligaments in the teeth are all connected and it hurts so badly afterwards because of that. I suggest perhaps when something is explained to you, you listen. If you want a good quality place to go for more advanced Dentistry, this is the place to do it. It's a beautiful place, and the staff is amazing. read more

Dr. Kerr and his staff was outstanding. Great service and attention to detail. They made the process easy and PAINLESS!
