Quick and Painless! Dr. Mazdey was great! It's been years since I had a root canal-and the anticipation was MUCH worse than the experience. I barely even felt the novocain needles-and once it all wore off there was zero pain. Scheduling was easy and they accommodated a last minute change for me seamlessly. All the young ladies working at the office from front checkin desk to the dental assistant were super nice! I never thought I'd be writing a review for a root canal! But here we are! Just go! read more

Consultation was easy and quick with Dr Mazdey. The scan cost was a bit of a surprise but not unreasonable. On my root canal visit, I waited around 30 minutes but it was late in the day so some delays probably add up throughout the afternoon. Once seen, the procedure seemed very thorough over 65-75 minutes. I was impressed with the level of detail they seemed to take. Pain was gone completely and it was effective. The procedure is difficult if you can't open your mouth very wide like me. Overall, I'm very happy with the result and experience. The office is organized and very clean. Staff is friendly and seem to have been there for many years. Thank you. read more

I went in for a root canal and was seen by Dr. Schaff (I'm probably misspelling his name - he's young and tall). The office got me scheduled within 2-3 business days and the doctor did an excellent job. I felt no pain during the procedure once the Novocain was given and I have no tooth/jaw pain 24 hours after the procedure. They also called to see how I was doing today, which was a nice touch. I would go to this office and this doctor in particular if the need arose again. read more

I had a great experience with MidValley and Dr. Maskey. My 14-year-old son was told he needed a root canal, but after doing the x-ray, Dr. Maskey explained that he actually didn't need that procedure and offered a different, less invasive option instead. I really appreciated his honesty and the fact that he wasn't trying to price-gouge the situation. His transparency gave me peace of mind as a parent. The whole process was easy, from scheduling the appointment to the way his team communicated with me. Everyone was informative, upfront, and professional. I left very pleased with the results and would definitely return in the future. read more

My experience with Dr. Mazdey was incredible. Highly recommend him. Unfortunately for me, I had to get a root canal done and was beyond nervous but Dr. Mazdey helped me through it all! Explained the procedure and answered all the questions I had. From the moment I made the call to schedule an appointment the ladies of this office were amazing! Overall great experience. read more

STAY AWAY. A skilled doctor doesn't need to lure patients with promises to accept Medical on the phone. Upon arrival, they didn't even open my mother's CT scan from the day before -- not a single glance -- and insisted on repeating it at $450. Skilled doctors don't need marketing tricks. I'll leave it at that. read more

I had my first root canal yesterday! l was worried about feeling any sort of pain or discomfort that would keep me from working. My job is active and requires me to be energetic. Hence why I didn't want to be uncomfortable. Doc was as gentle as he could've been and his assistant was comforting. Procedure went well and no pain at all. It's been 1 day and I haven't needed any pain relievers . Office was sure to check on how I was doing. Thank you guys! read more

The dentist and Jess his assistant were amazing. I have major trauma coming to the dentist . I went in a little nerves but I felt very comfortable and safe and felt no pain. Thank you very much I will definitely be coming back. read more

The way the doctor spoke to me was entitled and rude, this clown thought he was going to give me a lecture and a training session: all I wanted was the root canal I came in for. They said I won't be getting a root canal, only a consult. The original office experience was simple, but bad times with the creepy doctor. He just wanted to argue and try and shame. The joke is on you dr dementia. Just because you are burned out doesn't mean you ever speak to a customer like that. Shame on you. I went to another place and it had great vibes and did my canal on 1 hour start to finish, true professionals. Stay away from this place. What a joke of a specialist with a big fat mouth he couldn't close. read more

The longer I stayed the more I felt like the staff where programmed robots trained to take my money. My first visit there they charged me $200 co-pay for a 3D scan that they said my insurance doesn't cover although they already had X-rays. I'm scheduled to go back but this time they want an additional $250 co-pay for the root canal. Feel like I'm being ripped off . read more

I got my root canal there done first class Treatmeant there no wait time and I was very numb for most of the afternoon . Gentle doctor too

Booked a root canal with Dr Mazdey and was very impressed by his work and the attentiveness of his staff. Scheduling was easy, the front office was helpful and knowledgeable. I was nervous about this procedure because I've had bad dental experiences in the past. Dr Mazdey listened to my concerns and suggested a great treatment plan that accommodated my issues. The treatment went as planned. I was in and out in about 75 mins. Apparently the shape of my root canals made the procedure more difficult than some others. But it was successful and not painful. Root canals are not fun by any means, but if you find yourself needing one, would def recommend this office. read more

Easy scheduling, friendly and well organized office. Professional work ethic. Only wish the office would take medicare insurance. read more

In my experience, Dr. Mazdey is an excellent endodontist on all levels. I urgently needed microsurgery for a previous root canal and finally found this office after evaluating several others. Dr. Mazdey was thorough and proficient in identifying the source of the problem and promptly scheduled the procedure. I've had disappointing outcomes with other endodontists, so my favorable outcome (great healing 6 months+) leaves me very impressed with him. I recommend without reservations Dr. Mazdey and his office for patients seeking high quality and technically skilled endodonic care with outstanding follow-up administered by a professional and courteous staff. read more

I went in with an infected tooth under my bridge- which requires an expertise that not all dentists can perform. Dr. Mazdey was to only see me for a consultation, and the office was extremely busy. I pleaded for him to take my case, as I'd been in pain all weekend. I felt I was in expert hands and had complete trust in his skills. He operated through a tiny canal without any damage to my bridge. Best experience ever ( as far as dental appointment go), and I highly recommend Dr. Mazdey for his compassion and expert care. read more

I've been here twice now for a root canal (not a good thing for me) but Dr. Maria is very thorough and gives you step by step procedure walkthrough. I would definitely recommend this Endodontics in the valley area. read more

I got a root canal done by Maria. I had been in the most unbearable pain due to me needing a root canal. When I originally scheduled they told me I would have to wait a week, but thankfully the girl at the front desk was so nice enough to see that I was in so much pain that she called me the next day and told me someone cancelled. Thankfully they were able to get me in that same week. The only down side of it all was that I had to pay cash, my procedure was about 1,400 with no crown included, but it was so worth it. Thank you to the wonderful staff and the Amazing Dentist read more

Awful experience with this place. I went in for a consultation and they seemed to disregard my main concern. I expressed my concern of pain coming from my wisdom tooth and a chipped molar. Instead of them addressing the issue, they proceeded with a root canal. I'm aware of the need of a root canal, but they could've instead advised of other options if they knew a root canal wouldn't fix my issue. They proceeded with a root canal which maxed out my insurance for the year, I'm now stuck having to pay out of pocket for a crown that is needed. I still have a chipped molar, and pain in both my wisdom teeth. I called about the pain and all they could say was I still needed another root canal. Stay away from this place. read more

Hello Yelp Friends! Ok so let's be honest... no one likes going to the dentist, especially an Endodontics Specialist (Root Canal) but let me to you...Dr. Mazdey is AMAZING. When I found out I needed a Root Canal I was pretty sad & concerned...I am in the Dental Field & I've known Dr. Mazdey's name for a while now...for all the good things I've heard about him & all the happy patients, I knew exactly I wanted to go see him for my treatment. Let me tell you my experience was the best! Pain Free!...I didn't even feel the shot! Dr. Mazdey is seriously great, gentle & he is super polite with his assistants. My appointment lasted 40-45min. Very smooth, I was so relaxed. Dr Mazdey & his assistant (which I'm sorry, I didn't catch her name) were talking about sports & they just made me feel very comfortable & stress free. The girls in the front Jessica, Jessie & Robin are very sweet & super nice. I hope I don't have to get another Root Canal any time soon...but if I do, I am definitely going back to Dr. Mazdey. I highly recommend him not only to my patients, but to my family & friends. Thank you Mid Valley Endodontics :) read more

This dental office charged me $42 for the consultation even though my insurance fully covered the entire fee. I waited 45 minutes before I was seen by the dentist. When it was my turn I felt completely rushed and they also billed my insurance for multiple dental X-rays even though I only took one single x-ray. read more

My 8 year old needed a root canal & they said laughing gas was $500, the procedure itself was $600! I asked why it was so much money, almost the same price as the procedure, when I've NEVER paid that much between both my kids and lots of dental work and every time they have laughing gas to make them more relaxed and not so scared! Their answer was it's expensive to get to the office! I refused to pay that much he then proceeded to do her numbing shots without putting numbing jelly in the area first! My daughter cried SO hard in pain it broke my heart. We won't be using this office again! read more

Referral from Carmen Magpantay DDS for a great root canal experience! I highly recommend my root canal went very smoothly and efficiently. Also, very helpful staff. read more

I have never, in all my uncertain years, found a better Endodontist/dentist! Being my first time at this doctors office and finding Dr. Mazdey through Yelp, I was very skeptical of what I was getting myself into. I originally went to a specialist in Beverly Hills seeking phenomenal treatment and wanted a second opinion. Dr. Mazdey's reviews seemed to pinpoint what I was looking for and I could not be happier! A root canal retreat is what I needed (not a thrilling thought). My first appointment was a usual... Hi nice to meet you , nice to meet you, exam, X-ray... explanation/recommendation and I'll tell you, I was initially a bit intimidated by the specialist because he's really direct on what's going on and I'm so used to trying to be sold on something..., beating around the bush..., you know... BS... A little more skeptical these days. Dr. Mazdey doesn't have to do that, because he actually knows what he's talking about! I went in thinking I knew more than the specialist! Not to mention I was in pain following the procedure, I mean who wouldn't be in that much pain, with an infection, after waiting so long to see a specialist in the first place! Not only was it after hours on a day the office is not open but the operator was able to contact the specialist and have him call me immediately! The doctor thoroughly explained why the pain was there, put me at ease (hypochondriac here), put in a prescription directly to my pharmacy (only as a just in case we really need a second antibiotics), all on an off day, I could tell he was definitely busy, all this in less than an hour! Today I saw my regular dentist, who by the way has no correlation to Dr. Mazdey, who has confirmed my tooth is saved and in phenomenal condition. No pain, of course. Very very happy! Hope this helps the reader too! read more

Mid Valley Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Northridge, California

This is for Rob Imani, DDS. I came in for a root canal due to an infected nerve. The pain from the infected nerve on my molar has been difficult to deal with- even with pain medication. Imani never introduced himself nor bothered to come to the front of the dentist chair so I can see him face to face. He was rash and quick to speak. Once the procedure started via numbing agent- my anxiety flared up to the point I started to shake and cry. (Mainly because one of the injections hit right where the source of my pain has been.) I verbally told Imani I was anxious and scared for a negative outcome ...as the pain has been unbearable. Imani did not care. Simply dismissed my concern. Actually it was the assistant who took it upon herself to offer me tissues and water. The whole procedure I spent sobbing quietly. Imani never checked in with me nor showed any support of understanding or compassion. read more

The doctor & assistant were very kind & patient. The doctor worked carefully & skillfully. The office staff were friendly, helpful & kind. It was a good experience. read more

This review doesn't reflect Dr Mazdey, but the operation and communication of staff. During scheduling of the initial appointment, was placed on hold for 25mins. Another young lady picked up the phone and didn't know I had already gave all my information including confirmed appointment with the previous person. Went through all of it again with her. The medical offices are located within an area that does not permit parking on the streets during their business hours unless by permit. Only parking to access their offices is paid parking, although validated. Issue with their operation was at no point during the scheduling, confirming and reminder of appointment is this mentioned. Furthermore, this lot is full on a regular basis due to lack of public parking. Left my car in a unpermitted area to check in with the office, and asked if they knew where around the area has permitted parking. Response " we don't know, you can just drive around the area and walk back, we'll check you in ". Multiple patients complained about the same thing, they walked blocks to reach the office. None of them like myself were notified beforehand of their parking issue. Honestly I wouldn't have driven 75 mins on a referral had I known this. Word of advice, get you operation and communication together. Customers should be notified in advance of your issue. Do some recon of the area and have a map to send customers of potential areas where parking IS PERMITTED and might be available. Or better yet, instead of validating parking for customers who could give 2 shits about it, reserve parking based on your patient traffic like most business do . I also would advise since this office absolutely runs behind and overbooks, all new patients should have paperwork emailed if possible in advance. So documentation can be done ahead of time instead of the office. I walked out and you will never get a dime of my business. I have also communicated to my regular dentist to remove your office from referrals, it's clear to us you aren't prepared for it. read more

I just had route canal done with Dr Mazdey ,I was totally nervous and not sure how bad the pain would be I was also totally unaware of the procedures .Dr Mazdey did such a great job that I not only have absolute no pain after the procedure was done but also no pain after numbness went away. Amazing job , thank you so much for your hard work to cause me the least pain and make this such a smooth procedure. Sincerely Medik Baban read more

Dr. Mazdey is a professional and did a very good job. The front office staff were very professional also. This is a three star review because I just got a call from their office threatening to send an outstanding bill to collections. A bill which I received yesterday, today is Oct 6 and has a statement date of October 2.... Not cool. Just not cool at all. read more

Called on a Monday with pain - by Tuesday morning I was sitting in Dr. Mazdey's dental chair as he performed a root canal that stopped the agony! Thank you Mid Valley Endodontics! read more

I was nervous about getting a root canal, as anyone would be, but Yesenia in the front office was warm and friendly, arranged for me to be seen early, and remembered who I was from our phone call. Dr. Chang, and nurse Mary also quickly put me at ease. They are true professionals who constantly made sure I was okay before, during, and after the procedure. Dr. Chang thoroughly explained the process and answered any questions I had. He clearly wanted to make sure I was never in any discomfort, physically or emotionally. A root canal may be the ultimate euphemism for something most people dread and would avoid, but the truth is that we're lucky we live in a time when we can be relieved of oral pain relatively easily and successfully. read more

I have had many previous root canals and I was very pleased with Dr. Mazdey, his friendly staff and his office. Everything was clean, organized and ran on time. He did a great job getting me numb (the last endodontist did not) and I was in and out of the chair in 45 min. I would definitely recommend him. Only after I had my work done did I read these reviews and I was quite surprised by the negative ones. I have been telling people about Dr. Mazdey and recommending him to friends. read more

The most painless efficient root canal ever! Dr Maria Dakessian is the BEST! She is clearly talented and knows what she is doing for the benefit of her patient. I recommend this dentist 100%.I have had 2 root canals done by her! Fantastic work !. Professional staff, welcoming office! read more

Hello, I recently received contact from Credit Karma informing me dentist Dr. Afshin Mazdeyasnan (Mazdey) has sent me to collections for a root canal procedure that took place in August of 2016 that was covered and supposed to be paid for by my dental insurance company. At the time, the office had confirmed I had valid coverage before the procedure was initiated. I have contacted the office multiple times and they have not been able to provide me with any information regarding this incident. They refuse to give me any assistance in clearing up this matter and have repeatedly said the Doctor was busy, away, not in the office, or on vacation. I have asked if the Doctor was licensed to practice and what agency provided the licensing. All that I'm told is that the Doctor is in fact licensed but they would not give me any information on the agency or what recourse I could take if they could not help me. I have since changed dentists and my current dentist informed me that a root canal is a common procedure and that he believed Dr. Afshin Mazdeyasnan (Mazdey) was being shady and unethical for trying to collect twice on a single procedure and that I should file a malpractice complaint. Don't fall victim to extortion. I've since filed complaints with the California Dental Board, California Department on Consumer Affairs, and the Better Business Bureau BBB, and if this has happened to you, you should contact them for assistance. https://www.dca.ca.gov/ https://www.bbb.org/ read more

Just had a root canal with Dr. Mazdey. I was nervous I won't lie. It was my first one. I gotta say, pain free! I literally felt nothing. I took a few Advil after as suggested and felt fine. I'm on day 2 post root canal and literally have no pain. ***The only thing that annoyed me was nobody informed me I would be getting a temporary filling & had to go back to my original dentist to finish the job. My dentist is to blame as well. That annoyed me since now my regular isn't available for 2 weeks. It's fine since I have 4 weeks to get my permanent filling but it would of been sure nice to know. I didn't even think to ask. Still my experience & the procedure went so well I still gotta give them 5 stars. read more

I'd put zero stars if possible for Dr. Mazdey. What a joke of an endodontist. He's so rough while injecting lidocaine. I have a decent pain tolerance and when my dentist injects lidocaine I don't even feel it. The bigger problem here is that I went in for a root canal, it was the worst dental experience of my life. After 50 minutes of crushing my lips and choking on fluids, he finally says we are done. They shot my final X-ray and I went home. Not 40 minutes later I get a call from his office saying he missed something on the X-ray and I need to come in for another 45 minute root canal. Are you kidding me? How lazy/arrogant/inept do you have to be to read the X-ray wrong? To waste my time, my gas and have to schedule the redo root canal on my birthday cause it's the only day YOUR office could accommodate me; it's inexcusable. Then when I go back, he's barely apologetic. No sympathy for putting through so much pain and discomfort a second time. He is a serious POS. I will never be a patient at mid valley Endodontics again. Go to Conejo valley Endodontics. I got my first root canal there and everything about it was better. Parking, doctors, cleanliness of the office all substantially better than mid valley endo. F U Mazdey!!! read more

It's been over a year since I had my procedure. I went in for a infected root canal that the dr treated with medication and a new root canal. Well infection never went away so it was pretty much a waste of money! The two star is just for the friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the office. read more

I don't know if Dr. Mazdey treats men any better but I felt he was very dismissive of my concerns I went there for a CT scan to diagnose a cracked tooth; after he charged me for it , he told me you can't tell from a CT if a tooth is cracked and he scheduled me for a root canal (my third on the same tooth). He told me very dismissively that "next time I should go to an expert in the first place". Well, here I sit 6 months later with an overwhelming infection in that same tooth (because it was cracked and needed to come out) and I have been very ill with it for a month before I realized it was a tooth making me so sick. To add insult to injury I had to pay over 800.00 dollars up front and was told I would be reimbursed for what insurance paid after the insurance payment came in Of course I was never reimbursed and when I called I was told their accountant was not in and to call back next week. Do not go to this place! Go to an "expert". read more

4 reviews Precision, technique, skill, knowledge, method!!!! If I could I would give this doctor 10 stars. I have done 2 root canals with doctor Mazdey and both experiences were great. One was a new root canal and the other one was a re-treat of an old root canal done some where else. I have done a few root canals in other places starting really early age and had horrible experiences with other dentists and painful recovery. Doctor Mazdey is one skilled doctor! I could feel the difference 10 min after he got started. Office staff were professional and the assistant was skilled as well. Thank you for saving my teeth. read more

BEST Root Canal experience.....ever. Only 1 hour, no pain, fast recovery. I saw my regular dentist yesterday, Dr Richard Gusilitar at Pleasant Smiles, to do the permanent filling on the crown, because my root canal was done through an existing crown, and Dr Richard stated more than once how impressed he was with the root canal Dr Mazdey did....textbook was the term he used. Very comfortable recommending this Endodontist office. read more
