Very friendly staff and timely. Dr Chwu is very welcoming and comforting. Went in for a root canal and explained what anxiety I have and he took his time, explained the process , and his hilarious stories and personality made it so much more pleasant. Was very pleased with my appointment. read more

Dr. Chwu did a great job and I would highly recommend him for a root canal. He took the time to explain everything and has a great personality so the time passed by quickly. read more

Wow , a super nice endodontist Dr. Chwu. Very professional, very patient, very detailed, very reliable, and very well to make you relax during the treatment. Dr. Chwu explained what he is going to do for each step during the root canal treatment! Highly recommend. read more

Friendly and very respectful. Great patient care. Answered all my questions and concerns.

Great care I totally trust this doctor I have had 3 root canals in the past and never had a problem.

I have not needed to see Dr. Chwu for about seven years but when I required another root canal I absolutely wanted to return to him. My dentist wanted to refer me to another endodontist but I said absolutely not. Apparently my root canal today was rather complicated but I am having absolutely no discomfort tonight. Not only is he extremely competent but he is friendly and puts you at ease. His staff is also pleasant and competent. No one wants a root canal but it was the best experience someone could have for a necessary dental procedure. read more

Great people skills. Painless and makes the whole experience fly by. Funny and caring.

I needed a root canal and fast. Dr Chwu took me in and put me at ease. Root canal's can be terrifying. Dr. Chwu walked me through the whole process. He triple checks his work and it's amazing to watch his planning. My procedure was difficult but he is a great surgeon so no worries. He's got the latest high tech tools to assist him. He made the root canal process less terrifying, nothing like my parent horror stories. I highly recommend this office. As long as I live by this office and need this kind of work, Dr. Chwu will be my choice! read more

The reviews about Dr. Chwu are absolutely true! Dr. CHWU is awesome!! I was dying of pain from a hot tooth, and he was able to see me the very next day for an emergency root canal. He walked me thru the process from beginning to end. The root canal was honestly a pain-free and a pleasant experience. He is a master at his craft, and his bedside manner is above and beyond. I will be sure to see Dr Chwu again in the unfortunate event that I need another root canal. If you need a root canal, see Dr Chwu. You will be in EXCELLENT hands. read more

Absolutely the Best. He made the process easy and not traumatic. Definitely recommend to everyone. read more

Omg, all the reviews are true. I went to Dr. Chwu with a pain I've had for weeks and with a lot of fear of getting a "root canal". Especially being referred, I've never had prior contact with Dr Chwu until my procedure day. So there was definitely some initial doubts. However, from the moment he answered the phone to the moment he greeted me at his office, he was nothing but an angel. I must say it's one thing if a dentist is nice and can't really do a good job but Dr. Chwu is just perfect and definitely a pro at what he does! I mean he's only done root canals for 20 something years.. But Wow, thank you so so much for making me feel so comfortable during such a fearful procedure. Dr. Chwu makes the experience a piece of cake. I can tell that Dr. Chwu is a genuinely sweet person who cares about you, assuring you throughout the whole process. I loved how he explains every step that he's doing , what he's inserting, what he's chipping away, what he'll be doing next, etc. If I ever need a second or a third root canal, I'll visit him without any worries! Thanks so much Dr. Chwu!!!!!! read more

Dr. Chwu (pronounced "Chu") is a fantastic endodontist. He is very friendly and even takes the time to explain the different steps in the procedures while performing them. I was a bit unsure about choosing Dr. Chwu because I could not find any reviews or information about him, but I decided to visit him for a consultation. The consultation fee was $80 and applied towards the final procedure. Turns out Dr. Chwu is UCLA trained and even teaches in the field. The best thing about Dr. Chwu other than his bedside manner is his pricing. I called several endodontists in the area and they were all about $500 to $1,000 more expensive for the same treatment and their consultation fees were also inflated. On top of reasonable pricing Dr. Chwu also offers a 10% discount for cash patients. read more

Found this specialist on Yelp & took the word of the few awesome reviews. This Doctor is wonderful! He was very straight forward & had a fresh sense of humor. It almost makes me want to return to have a cup of tea with him & the staff. Every step of the procedure was explained to me before beginning, so I was at ease the entire time. When the other reviewers say they didn't feel any pain, they really meant they didn't feel a thing. It was as though I had my mouth hanging open for no reason because he was so gentle it seemed his hands or instruments never went near my face. All the dental work was done with magic. The office is very fancy and clean. It's decorated nicely & the front office staff is super friendly and competent. read more

I had a tooth infection and needed a root canal in an upper front tooth. After decades of going to dentists, for me the worst pain of this procedure is the initial injection of to numb the area. Dr. Chwu, made this with less pain and discomfort by injecting the drug in very short multiple shots. This took a little more time, but was worth it. By the last shot everything was painless. More dentists should adopt this technique. read more

I visited his office for a root canal consultation ($80). I was referred to him by my dentist. Dr. Chwu is one of the honest dentists I have found. He gave me a straight opinion. In my case, he said my best chance was to see a specialist (Periodontist) rather than have him do the root canal procedure. He could have worked on me and not succeeded. That would have caused me more pain, damage to the jaw, and expenses in the long run. Recommended!! read more

I've had 2 root canals here and just recently referred my husband to Dr Chwu. He is great! The staff is very friendly and helpful and Dr Chwu is awesome at his craft! read more

I was referred to Dr. Chwu, a root canal specialist, by my dentist. This was my first root canal, so I didn't know what to expect. I just imagined it being a long, painful surgery. But, lucky for me, Dr. Chwu turned out to be highly skilled at his profession. He easily explained the procedure and that put me at ease. I was amazed at how quick & efficient he worked. Both him & his assistant were finely tuned & synchronized. When he said he was done, I couldn't believe it. He uses a microscope and has some pretty fancy tools of the trade. The office is comfortable & air conditioned. To my relief, the whole procedure was entirely painless. I was soo happy. This damn toothache rocked me. I was becoming a pain relief junkie on ibuprofens. I would highly recommend Dr. Chwu. He's very easygoing and definitely at the top of his profession. read more

Amazing staff, I am very nervous when it comes to stuff like this but everyone always makes me feel comfortable . Dr Chwu is funny, he is nice and the equipment there is new. I highly recommend Dr Chwu read more

I was not referred by anyone but the reviews on here. I had needed a root canal done and I found Dr. Chwu. I must say Dr. Chwu is a golden man of his profession, very understanding, down to earth, experienced, friendly, wise, and just a well rounded genuine person. He is not out just to get your money, he is there to HELP you. He calmed my nerves and explained everything. His staff is also friendly. It was my first root canal and it was painless!!! I highly recommend him. He is an expert and a good man. read more

Dr. Chwu is a highly skilled specialist. He's very straight forward and to the point. He's patient and doesn't mind answering questions. He found my second root canal that was difficult to see due to its curved angle. He's very proficient and he's got a great sense of humor. He's caring and I'd definitely recommend him. read more

I went to Dr. Chwu for what I thought would be a root canal, as he was highly recommended. I have never had a root canal and was a bit reluctant about the whole thing. I must have called the office 8 times or more before my appointment with questions about the procedure, the equipment they have etc. Each time I was given detailed responses with respect and understanding and thorough explanations. Dr. Chwu is very confident and very thorough in his discourse without being arrogant and while giving you the options as well as the pros and cons of each. I really appreciated this. I did not feel pressured and felt he wanted me to understand my options. He spent a good amount of time with me discussing everything and in the end, we decided he would refer me to an oral surgeon to discuss non-root canal options. The office is very clean and the support staff are pleasant and accommodating. He is great chairside which instantly put me at ease. He has a wonderful personality which I found very refreshing. I highly recommend this place because of Dr. Chwu's honesty, cleanliness, fair price, and nice office staff. I left his office feeling he wanted the best for me even if it meant he would not be billing for a procedure that day. I will come running back to him, driving the almost 30 miles it takes to get here, if the need for a root canal does present itself. read more

I love this guy! Nobody likes root canals but if you had to have one, Dr. Chwu is the go to. I have had 2 before and this one was the quickest, most desirable experience of all. Dr. Chwu explains everything to you on your first visit and as things are happening when they are happening in your mouth. I have to be honest, I felt very relaxed through the whole experience. In at 1:15, out by 3:15 or sooner. The next morning I felt like there was an electrical storm in my mouth so I messaged Dr. Chwu who called me within 15 minutes to explain all of the things that I was feeling was normal and not to worry. If I didn't feel better in a couple days to let him know. That's all I really needed to know is that what I was feeling was normal. I don't remember having any of that kind of feeling after the other two root canals but every one is different. Right now less than 48 hours after my BIG day and I feel pretty good! Still tender but what would you expect when they must dig a ditch around the "bad tooth" to work on it? This doctor has a great sense of humor and tells it the way it is. That's probably why I trust him and feel very comfortable around him. Thanks so much, Dr. Chwu! read more

I had two root canals done with Dr. Chwu. In both occasions, I waited until the pain were unbearable before I checked in with Dr. Chwu. Twice. He squeezed me in on his tight schedules and did the root canal operations. The best thing was both operations did not hurt at all. The initial numbing gel application was sufficient to stop the pain from the first anesthetic injection. read more

Dr. Chwu is, hands down, the most talented dental professional I've ever had the good fortune to have work on my teeth. I was referred by my dentist for a root canal. The first time I went in, Dr. Chwu drilled and cleaned out my tooth. He explained everything that was happening, took breaks to talk to me and show me what was going on, and made me feel safe and respected. He is deft and confident and artistic. I know that "artistic" isn't a natural word to use for an endodontist, but it fits Dr. Chwu. He uses his myriad little files like a sculptor. It's really impressive. He has also taught endodontics at UCLA. When I came in for the second appointment he told me that, unfortunately, the tooth had cracked and would have to be extracted. Since I'd already paid him for the root canal, he rewrote the claim as an "emergency visit" and sent me a refund of the difference promptly, so not only is he highly skilled, but he's honest as well. He is also a master with the anesthesia. I had only local shots for this procedure and not only did I not feel any pain (or any anything, for that matter) while he was working on me, he managed to inject the anesthetic into my nerves without the injections even hurting. While we were waiting for the anesthetic to take effect he sat and talked to me about all kinds of things. The guy is charismatic, interesting, and funny as hell to talk to. Anyway, he's fabulous and I recommend him highly. read more

Beside the wonderful staff the DDS was the reason we will be back. Great service, holiday music playing. And and the friendliest endodontist. This place is a great find read more

The reviews here are absolutely correct. I had my first root canal this week and I was nervous since everyone makes them sound terrible. Dr. Chwu made me feel more comfortable by explaining what he was doing and by talking throughout the procedure. He has all kinds of stories and is very knowledgable. He makes you feel like you're a friend of his and makes certain that you're okay and not feeling any pain. His staff was also very friendly and helped make the root canal go smoothly. Honestly, these wonderful reviews are true and Dr. Chwu is awesome! read more

Dr. Chwu is a very professional dentist who takes the time to make the root canal procedure as painless as possible. He is efficient and very caring of seniors like myself. I'm glad I trusted Yelp reviews to choose him over others. He is a great communicator and will talk you through the procedure. Dr. Chwu is the best in his profession and you will be glad you chose him. read more

I was refereed to Dr. Chwu by my personal dentist because of extreme sensitivity. The tests were performed and a root canal procedure was needed. Without delay, I had the procedure done two days later. Dr. Chwu is the BEST! He takes his time and explains the procedure as he does the root canal. NO pain whatsoever and he makes you comfortable during the procedure. Dr. Chwu rocks! read more

Feb, 18, 2015 had appt with Dr. Chwu due to a problem with a lower tooth. Dr. Chwu was extremely pleasant and so was his staff. Very kind gentleman asked me about the tooth I was having a problem with and explained he needed to take some pictures of my tooth once that was complete he found that I had an infection and that I needed a root canal. Asked when I would need to come back and he said he was ready now if I was. It would take couple of hours so I said lets do it. He explained every little detail that he was going to do which made me feel good know what was going to happen. Dr. Chwu is a very talkative, loveable, kind and funny person; someone that makes you feel at home and relaxed when he works on you. God forbid I would need another root canal but if so I won't go to anyone else but Dr. Chwu. I felt no pain while he was working on me and when I left I had no pain at all at anytime after. LOVE THIS MAN read more

I agree with all these reviews! Not only is Dr. Chwu one of the friendliest dentists/oral surgeons that I've encountered, he's also very confident in his practice. He just conducted a root canal on me and he was very thorough in explaining each step of the procedure. I felt comfortable and I was pain free the whole time. I give him my highest recommendation! read more

I normally dread going to see the dentist, but Dr. Chwu makes going to the dentist seem easy and (dare I say it) almost fun. Not only is he very professional, but he also has a very easygoing personality. I had my consultation about a month ago and he was very honest and transparent about what work I needed to get done. I went in just last week to get two root canals done and I never thought a dental procedure could be so painless! The procedure was done both quickly and thoroughly and he made sure that every last bit of my choppers was cleaned out properly. He explained the entire process step by step and even let me examine my incisor pulp upon request (sorry if that grossed you out). He answered all my questions and I even learned a thing or two about teeth. Couldn't have asked for a better endodontist! I will be going in for a third root canal soon, but this time I'm not worried at all since I know I"ll be well taken care of. I'm hoping I won't need any more root canals in the future, but if I do, I'll definitely be back to see Dr. Chwu. read more

Dr. Chwu is the best! I bought my own PPO dental insurance just so that I could go to him for my root canals. I have even just paid as a cash account instead of going with a HMO Endo. He stays with you, calms you down, and best of all, he is a no pain doc! His office staff are just as nice as he is. Really guys, he is the best! read more

I just had a root canal this morning by Dr Chwu , and I can truly say it was actually a pleasant experience. He is absolutely the best. He explained what he was doing during the procedure. He is very gentle and so personable. If I ever have to have another root canal, he will be the one to do it! No fear no pain when you have Dr. Chwu! read more
