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 found Dr. Arora after dental work from another office had gone wrong. I was in so much pain I…read morecouldn't sleep, could barely eat, and the pain was radiating from my teeth into my jaw and all the way to my ear. After a week of constant pain, I couldn't wait any longer to get help. On a Friday night, I (desperately) reached out to any dentists who listed Saturday hours. Dr. Arora responded that same night and rearranged his Saturday schedule to accommodate me. The office was otherwise closed, but he was willing to come in and see me, a brand new patient he had never even met, because I needed help. That meant a lot, and immediately told me he genuinely cares about people, not just appointments on a schedule. Dr. Arora gave careful, clear, clinical explanations of what he was seeing, what was causing my pain, and exactly what needed to be done. He made sure I understood what was going to happen, why he takes the approach he does, and what to expect afterward. I ended up needing two root canals to fix the previous dentist's filling. While no one *enjoys* a root canal, it honestly wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. It did take time - which he told me upfront - because he doesn't rush. My previous dentist had emphasized how quickly he could get me in and out, so it was actually refreshing to be treated by someone who prioritizes doing it properly. What really stood out is that while Dr. Arora's practice absolutely has modern technology, he clearly relies on skill and judgment first. It felt like being treated by someone who truly understands dentistry, not someone just following what a machine tells them to do. The previous office had all the flashy, high-tech equipment imaginable, and I still ended up needing two root canals to repair their work. The office also offers thoughtful touches like headphones, cozy blankets, and pillows, which make a bigger difference than you'd think when you're in the chair for a while. After weeks of pain and stress, I'm finally back to normal and genuinely feel taken care of. If you're anxious, in pain, or just want a dentist who combines competence with real compassion, you will be in very good hands here.

Dr. Riahi is clearly very experienced and exceptionally skilled. As a physician with my own medical staff, I also paid close attention to how he interacts with his team.

At the end of the visit, I asked whether he provides other dental services, as I would gladly have him perform any dental care I might need in the future.

I am writing to share my exceptional experience with Dr. Lynne Baldassari-Cruz at San Carlos…read moreEndodontics in San Carlos, CA. Earlier today, I had dental work done by Dr. Baldassari-Cruz and was incredibly impressed with the entire visit. From the moment that I first arrived, her office staff greeted me warmly and professionally. After I settled in, they clearly outline their proposed course of action for my treatment. Once in the dental chair, Dr. Baldassari-Cruz reviewed with me my previous X-rays. Before starting any work, she thoughtfully asked if I had any other concerns. When I mentioned an additional issue, she immediately adjusted her course of action and addressed that area first. Afterwards, she proceeded to the area that she had already identified. Throughout the entire dental appointment, Dr. Baldassari-Cruz demonstrated a truly personal and caring approach. She gave me several choices of which course of treatment should be completed. This individual attention and care is something that I have rarely, if ever, encountered at other dental facilities. Outstanding! I highly recommend Dr. Lynne Baldassari-Cruz and her team for their exceptional dental services! Steve Wozniak
