However, I was pleasantly surprised after being referred to this absolute gem of an office! From the moment I stepped through the door, everyone made me feel so welcome, comfortable, and safe. Mari and Dr. Vu were both incredibly gentle, attentive, and caring throughout my entire visit. I went in for a root canal, which I was definitely nervous about, but the entire procedure was easy and completely painless -- yes, I said **painless!** Even today, the day after my procedure, I feel great! I truly cannot recommend this office enough. The level of care I received completely changed my experience with dental work. I will absolutely be referring my friends and family here. Thank you, Mari, Dr. Vu, and the entire team for taking such amazing care of me!

The front desk staff, hygienist, and dentist were all wonderful. Unfortunately, my experience completely changed when it came time to discuss the treatment plan and pricing. The person handling this did not explain my treatment plan to me at all. I was presented with a treatment plan totaling over $16,500 and asked to sign it without anyone actually going over what I was agreeing to. When I tried to ask about it, he cut me off twice, saying, "I already explained it to you." He had not. I was stunned by how dismissive and condescending the interaction was. I came in with a tooth causing significant pain, fully prepared to have my dental work done here, and left knowing I would need to find another dentist. It's incredibly disappointing that one interaction at the very end ruined what had otherwise been such a positive experience.

Office is clean and welcoming which reflects their quality of care. I know I can trust them with all my dental needs (: If you're looking for a new dentist/dental office, this is the place !!!

It is truly a patient-centered practice. The dentist is incredibly thorough but never pushy about selling unnecessary treatments, which is a rare and refreshing find. On top of the great clinical care, the office staff is phenomenal. They communicate seamlessly via text, making it incredibly easy to coordinate appointments, handle insurance questions, and complete new patient paperwork without any hassle. Efficient, honest, and high-quality care!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bandary and the team at Oakmont Endodontics. I went in…read morewith a complicated tooth issue that a couple of another provider seemed unsure how to handle, and Dr. Bandary was the first person who really took the time to dig into what was going on instead of rushing to the most convenient fix. What stood out most was how thorough the evaluation was -- Dr. Bandary walked me through exactly what was happening with my tooth, explained the different options, and was clear the goal was finding what would actually work best for my specific situation, not just getting me in and out. The procedure itself was handled with real skill and care. Dr. Bandary checked in throughout to make sure I was comfortable, and the follow-up care was just as attentive. The whole staff was warm and professional, and appointments never felt rushed. If you're dealing with a tricky tooth problem and want someone who will genuinely go the extra mile to get it right, I highly recommend Dr. Bandary and Oakmont Endodontics. Five stars, no hesitation.

They have all the latest equipment and Dr. Bandary really made sure to test out my tooth and asked all the necessary questions to ensure his treatment was accurate. I'm so thankful for this office and would recommend to anyone I know!

I've seen many dentists, many of them good and unfortunately a few bad ones too. Once you find a…read moregreat dentist though, you hang onto them. I've been with my dentist for 17 years, 10+ of those years moved up to the Bay Area and making the 5-6hr commute back and forth. Well, life happens and during my last check with Most Awesome General Dentist; turns out I need a root canal and was recommended to Dr. John Pratte as a "Diplomate" dentist. What is that? I asked a robot and this is what I learned: Achieving diplomate status in dentistry, particularly for specialties like endodontics, is a prestigious accomplishment that represents the highest level of expertise in the field. Here's what it generally involves: 1. Advanced Education and Specialty Training: After earning a dental degree (e.g., DDS or DMD), a dentist must complete additional years of postgraduate training in their specialty, such as endodontics, periodontics, or orthodontics. This involves clinical, hands-on training and deep study of the specialty. 2. Board Certification: To become a diplomate, a dentist must pass rigorous board certification exams specific to their specialty. This typically includes: Written Exam: Testing the candidate's knowledge of all facets of their specialty. Clinical Exam or Case Presentations: Submitting complex case studies or undergoing a practical exam to demonstrate hands-on expertise and problem-solving abilities in their specialty. Oral Exam: Being questioned by a board of experts on clinical cases, treatment planning, and specialized knowledge to assess clinical judgment and expertise. 3. Experience and Case Portfolio: Many boards require candidates to complete and submit a portfolio of complex cases they've treated successfully, showcasing their proficiency and commitment to high standards of care. 4. Continuing Education and Recertification: Once they achieve diplomate status, many boards require ongoing continuing education and periodic recertification to ensure they remain up-to-date with advancements in their field. 5. Commitment to Excellence: Diplomates are often required to uphold strict ethical standards and demonstrate a commitment to advancing their specialty through research, teaching, or service within the professional community. In short, becoming a diplomate is a mark of dedication, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care in their specialty. It signifies that the practitioner has gone well beyond the basic requirements of dental practice. _______________________ So I just want to say that I highly appreciate the expertly skilled precision of Dr. Pratte's deft and nimble hands. He has a very professional demeanor while also being quite warm and personable. (And those diplomate credentials tell you that you're getting the very best of the very best!!!)

One, after swabbing the numbing agent in my mouth Dr. Elmassian immediately injected me with the large needle of the anesthetic. IT HURT LIKE HELL! Typically dentists wait at least 1 minute before they use a needle on their patients after the inside of the mouth is swabbed. It was awful but he didn't seem to care that I was almost screaming and moaning in agony. Then while he did my procedure he talked very unprofessionally to his young female assistant who clearly was uncomfortable and laughing nervously throughout Dr. Elmassian's gossip about other people. She tried her best to act interested. I think Dr. Elmassian is clueless to a fact of life that Karma applies to everyone. Anyway, I will never go back there. Terrible experience!
