I came to see Dr. Byun a couple months ago for a second opinion on a potential apicoectomy case when I felt like I didn't get proper consultation by my first endodontist visit (won't mention the other practice). From Day 1, Dr. Byun and his staff were incredibly accommodating, patient, and informative without rushing me to commit to surgery. Through their attentive care at every step--from walking me through the 3D scan (previous endodontist only took 2D scans), the procedure options, and treatment plan-- I felt confident and ready to commit. To my surprise, I was able to book an appointment for the apicoectomy within the next week. The previous practice told me they'd call be back in 2-4 weeks to even discuss scheduling an appointment. I couldn't imagine waiting that long if I was in serious pain! Fast forward to surgery day--I showed up early so I could relax my nerves, as I'm typically anxious about major procedures like this. Turns out I was stressed for no reason... Dr. Byun and his entire staff were extremely professional and efficient; I was taken care of not 10 seconds after my scheduled appointment time and they made sure I was properly informed and comfortable every step of the way. The whole process went down exactly as I expected and there was no pain at all. I've since then made a full recovery (sooner than Dr. Byun expected) and never had any issues with the sutures or post-op treatment plan during recovery. Highly recommend Dr. Byun and team! Shout out to his assistant Arely and Jasmine and Susie at the front desk :) read more

Growing up, everyone thought root canals were supposed to be the most painful thing ever. With Pasadena Endodontix that is so not the case. I did not even feel my emergency root canal. Dr. Vu and her team did an amazing job! read more

Dr Safa and his whole staff are incredibly patient and professional. I didn't feel complicated root canal procedure. He did everything to save a tooth. My highest recommendation for dr. Safa! read more

Excellent care and customer service. Referred by my dentist for a suspected infection. Was able to secure an appointment the next day with Dr James Byun. Prior to my arrival the office staff confirmed insurance information and within 5 minutes of appointment time I was in the chair for a very thorough exam which confirmed the infection and probable cause . An hour later root canal was completed with very little discomfort. Dr. Byun and staff talked me through the process, options, and during the procedure kept me informed of progress and time to completion. read more

Review from my mother's experience "Dr. Safa is the best Endodontist ! He was amazing. I didn't even feel any pain when he gave me novocaine for my root canal retreatment. I had a great experience from the moment I walked in until I am finished my procedure. The dental office staff work efficiently with Dr. Safa and all seems very organized and in order. The best dentist office I have ever been to in my life" -Suzanne K read more

Very friendly. Took care of the root canal so quickly. Didn't feel a thing. I'll get ALL my root canals there!

I had a root canal done 3 years ago with Dr. Byun here and the treatment was excellent. This year I had an infected molar, and my dentist won't do molars because it has more nerves and it's more complicated than other teeth, so I came back to this place again. Dr. Vu and Arely helped me this time, they were both excellent as well. Super professional, procedure is done very fast and almost painless. 10/10 recommend. read more

I was dreading the words, you need a root canal. Reference to Pasadena Endodontix and thank goodness I did. Couldn't have been easier. The office staff is amazing and Dr Safa was gentle and reassuring during the treatment. Thank you read more

Excellent care. I typically read reviews before visiting an office but when your dentist says "welp, you need a root canal ASAP" and hands you a referral to an endodontist, you don't have time to read reviews, you just go. It wasn't until my drive to Pasadena Endodontix that I read all of the awesome 5 star reviews on Yelp. The reviews really calmed my nerves. I loved reading that SO MANY people love this place. And now I'm one of those as well! Dr. Vu and staff were awesome. Gentle, communicative, and caring! I had a million questions for them (anxiety) and they answered each one with patience and understanding. And then a few days later I got a call from Jasmine asking how I'm doing. Killer customer service and great work. I was also told their xray machines have like 90% less radiation than the ones at other offices. read more

Excellent all-around experience here! This was my first dental work done in decades (and first root canal), so I was a bit nervous, but Dr. Gabbay and his assistant did an A++ job! Excellent bedside manners and I was in and out in just over an hour. I highly recommend Pasadena Endodontix and Dr. Gabbay! read more

I was referred to PE by my dentist for my first root canal. I was admittedly a bit nervous but the staff and Dr. Vu were all so great and reassuring! I received great care the entire time. The procedure went smoothly and didn't take too long. I received clear insurance and billing info, follow-up care instructions and got a call the following day to see how I was doing. Would definitely recommend PE if you need to get a root canal! read more

I was referred to Dr Safa by my dentist for retreat of root canal. He's very honest to tell me success rate of retreating root canal was around 85%. I went for other root canals as well. Whether it's 100% success, no one can tell. Overall, Dr Safa was good, he listened to my request when it came to numbing injection; I told him I was very sensitive. He gave me just enough that when root canal was done, the numbness was almost gone too. I was happy that he listened. His staff was friendly too. Will return to see him for root canal check next year. read more

I saw Dr. Byun for a root canal. I was in pain from an infection and was scared because after years of chemotherapy, it is difficult to numb my mouth. Dr. Byun made the whole procedure virtually painless. I was expecting to be sore and in pain later but I have just a little discomfort but after a day the discomfort is gone. I would highly recommend Dr. Byun. The office staff and assistant Christian were great. read more

Staff was friendly and helpful - answered my questions, and laughed at my dumb jokes. The Doctor that did my root canal was very professional, made sure I understood everything, and also had a great bedside manner! During the procedure, he would update me (this is what I'm doing now, about halfway done) and check in to make sure I was doing ok. Was much less stressful than I thought it would be - staff and doctor were excellent. Highly recommend! read more

Ten stars!! This is my 6th root canal and it was the best experience ever! Office staff incredibly efficient and friendly, assistant so excellent, and Dr Safa was outstanding, paying the utmost attention to any issues. I'm spreading the word to all my family and friends. And a shout out to my regular dentist, Dr Lucas, for referring me to this endodontist. read more

Great service. I was completely done in less than an hour! Painless procedure. Doc was very mindful and checked with me throughout the procedure to make sure I was doing well. read more

Took me same day through my dentist's referral. I was an hour early and they took me in right away. The people in the front desk, assistants and doctor were all friendly, efficient, professional . Explained procedure step by step. Clinic is very clean, modern equipment . I felt very comfortable and the procedure went very well. The procedure ( root canal) took 47 mins total including prep, pre/ post X-ray and instructional video. Highly recommended read more

I called Pasadena Endodontix and got an appointment the same day with Dr. Safa for a root canal. He explained what he was doing every step of the way, and made sure I could rest my jaw at every opportunity. I was relieved he was sensitive to that as I'd had trouble with post procedure jaw pain in the past. The entire office was friendly and helpful, and I highly recommend! read more

I went in today for a root canal and had an incredible experience. Dr Wu took care of me and was so extremely kind. I am VERY terrified of the dentist and get work done almost once a year. She was so quick to prescribe me Valium to ease my nerves and was extremely patient with my anxiety. She worked quickly and was gentle and kind, so was her assistant. I never leave reviews but I haven't ever had a dental experience like this and thought they deserved a shout out! Thank you read more

What a great experience I had at this office. I needed a root canal and after some research, I decided on Dr Younes Safa. I couldn't have made a better choice! I didn't feel a thing he worked with great precision and only took like 30 minutes. Totally recommend him. read more

Excellent. This is the second time I have been for a root canal. The care is exceptional. All of the staff are wonderful. I saw Dr Vu today and she was brilliant, fast and efficient. Answered all of my questions and took great care of me. There is a great vibe at this practice. They fit me in at very short notice. Absolutely recommend. read more

Dr. Safa and Pasadena Endodontix saved me this morning from a world of pain, and I could not be more grateful. Who knew an emergency root canal could feel so great? It had been a long night and I was in sad shape when I threw myself on the mercy of my dentist this morning. She referred me to Pasadena Endodontix and they agreed to treat me immediately. I cannot overstate how thankful I am for that. Dr. Safa was astoundingly professional, efficient, and kind. I walked out feeling human again. Many thanks all around. read more

I couldn't be any happier with the care an love given to my 11 year old daughter. Everyone there was so kind. Thank you! read more

I came in for an emergency root canal. The office was able to fit me in the same day within 2 hours of me calling. Dr. Safa was very efficient and professional. I was in and out in about an hour. I have had several root canals done and this was by far the fastest and least painful (both during the procedure and afterwards). I would highly recommend Dr. Safa for a root canal. read more

Dr Sofa knows his stuff. Wonderful root canal. No pain ! Only after which is to be expected. His staff is so friendly and helpful. I recommend him to anyone! read more

Excellent care and quality top level services! I felt supported and informed, I had a semi complicated procedure done with care and efficiency. Great staff and facility. read more

I really had high hopes coming to this office for assistance. I read many reviews about the practice and Dr Safa. Had expected much more thorough exam and cray. Especially since in reviews the DR says it is illegal to use X-rays from other offices. Since a root canal is so complex and tricky (like cancer patients with chemotherapy) it is unbelievable that you could proceed with an me with a 1-3 minute Dr exam and the basic radiograph X-ray they took. My dentist too. The same X-ray a few days prior and showed the same thing. How can you see the details of the tooth to do a procedure like this with such basic things. I would avoid this office. They just seem to want to take your money and try to do it. Really had expected an actual thorough exam and consult for such a tricky procedure. read more

The staff is absolutely lovely and my root canal was sooooo fast and pain free! Highly recommend!

Friendly and welcoming environment. Dr. Safa walked me through each step of my root canal. Front office was great and Dr. Safa's assistant, Mari, was very caring. Thank you for a positive experience with my root canal. read more

5 Stars for Dr. Vu, who has now done 2 root canals, and Dr. Torbiner, who provided anesthesia (novocaine is not effective enough on me). However, I'm unfortunately never going back because of their billing team. When I went for my second root canal, I paid the estimate and everything went well. Flash forward a couple weeks and they send me a bill for an additional $750. I'm familiar with estimates being 50, 100, even 200 bucks off. But this was $750 - the estimaate was off by EIGHTY PERCENT. Trying to get them to accept any accountability and lower the amount owed was an exercise in futility. They blamed it all on the insurance - which they could have easily verified with a quick phone call before my appointment. Done. read more

I had an unexpected surprise while visiting my dentist a couple of days ago: I was experiencing pain in my mouth and she immediately referred me to Pasadena Endodontix. It was a root canal gone bad she concluded. Dr Youness Safa was able to see me that same day, which was a huge relief. My experience with Dr Safa was probably the best I have ever had for that kind of treatment, and this is coming from a person who has had teeth problems (and treatment) her whole entire life. Dr Safa was very polite, attentive, kind, to the point and did the procedure in no time. I usually get very nervous when I have to spend any time on "that" chair, however his obvious professionalism and preciseness put me at ease almost immediately. I will absolutely go back if I ever need root canal work done again. read more

Wow! Dr. Safa, of Pasadena Endodontix, performed a root canal on me yesterday. He came highly recommended on Nextdoor.com and I totally understand why. A root canal is never fun but he made it much less horrific than usual. Also, his office is the first and only office that has provided me with written aftercare instructions, an aftercare video, dental dam, protective eyewear, lip balm and a hot towel to "refresh" myself after the procedure. They also provided me with a prescription for Ibuprofen and strongly encouraged me to take one before the anesthesia wore off. I took one at 4 pm yesterday and have not taken anything since (32.5 hours later). I can't believe I even had a root canal. I am not experiencing any pain or inflammation whatsoever. Another nice touch is that somebody from his office phoned me this morning to see how I was doing and to ask if I had any questions. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Safa and his entire staff. read more

I've been procrastinating. I knew I needed a root canal and well it doesn't sound like fun but either does a sore infected tooth. Made my appointment and so glad i did. Everyone was amazing from front office Susie to "One shot Al" the process was painless. The team is excellent. Dr Vu thank you so much! your expertise and attention to detail is appreciated . I wouldn't hesitate to come back or send family and friends. Thank u all so much. read more

Dr. Safa is an absolute miracle worker - he was able to safe a tooth of mine through a complicated root canal. Reassuring but honest, he did a masterful job. The staff is amazing and genuine. I couldn't recommend a better endodontist! read more

I had the best experience I've ever had at the dentist here..and I got a root canal!! Everyone from the front desk to Dr. Vu were very professional and they made the process so seamless. You could tell they know what they're doing and I felt like I was in good hands. I would normally not go out of my way to leave a review but I felt they deserve it. read more

Great, friendly staff. Very accommodating! I went in for an emergency root canal and everyone was super helpful and friendly. Dr Byun and the staff were super friendly and helped through a tough time. read more

I was so scared when I learned I needed a root canal. I had heard horror stories from friends and family. Thanks to Dr. Safa I had a very easy appointment with no pain at all, just minor discomfort during the numbing but even that was very maneagable. He explained everything really thoroughly and made me feel like I was in excellent hands. I certainly hope I never have to get another root canal but if I do I will definitely have Dr. Safa perform it. read more

Dr. Safa is kind and compassionate and treated me with such consideration and care and 6hours post procedure I have absolutely no discomfort (I followed his directions for after care which is why I am so comfortable after 3 root canals on two teeth). Dr. Safa is erg aardig en medelevend en behandelde me met zoveel aandacht en zorg en 6 uur na de procedure heb ik absoluut geen ongemak (ik volgde zijn aanwijzingen voor nazorg en daarom voel ik me zo op mijn gemak na 3 wortelkanalen op twee tanden). read more

I had an infected root canal and was referred to Pasadena Endodontix. They were able to get me in right away and it turned out to be one of the most well-organized, professional, and effective dental experiences I've had. And their customer service was excellent.
