As a retired professor of dentistry I am a hypercritical idealist. And yet Dr. Kamrava exceeded my expectations. His efficient and gentle technical skills were a reassuring complement to his scholastic expertise and conservative approach to surgical intervention. I enthusiastically recommend him to my wife and daughter should their needs arise. New patients, fearful of root canal therapy, will no doubt be pleasantly surprised. -- Neal C. Murphy DDS, MS UCLA.

My regular dentist sent me to Dr Kamrava yesterday for a root canal. I have had excellent luck with my teeth my whole life and I was not looking forward to my first root canal. The whole experience could not have been any better. From the extremely friendly office staff, Dr Kamrava's surgical assistant and the Doctor himself. Dr Kamrava took the time to explain everything he was doing and what to expect. The whole procedure was almost completely painless. He is gentle, kind, and fast. I am so grateful for his care. Unfortunately this is one of those relationships that you hope you don't have to see often- but if something does unexpectedly come up it is very comforting to know I now have someone of Dr Kamrava's skills and knowledge a phone call away. read more

I was in urgent need for getting an appointment with Dr. Kamrava for a root canal. I was given an appointment the same day that need was identified. Dr. Kamrava and his Team's Professionalism made my stressful situation much easier. I am grateful to Dr. Kamara and his Team for their immediate attention to my need. Edie R. read more

One of the absolute worst forms of pain is dental pain. You can only endure it for so long before it has to be treated. And in that spectrum, just the mention of a root canal is cause for wincing and horrific imagery for anyone who has ever experienced and endured the procedure. Since my last one several decades ago the technology has improved and what was once a two day, multi hour grinder of a visit has vastly improved. Leading the way, as one of the only practices using Gentlewave to improve the cleaning as well as healing, Dr. Kamrava is a skilled professional. I knew I was in good hands when, while working on me, he was softly singing along to country music on his Spotify playlist. Make no mistake, this is an expensive procedure these days especially since dental insurance is more scarce than ever before. There is a financial service called Care Credit they accept but be forewarned, you are only allotted a half year window to pay it all off before the interest comes a knocking-and it is steep. But it does buy you some time in an emergency. I wouldn't wish this on anyone but if it does befall you, the is state of the art care. Highly recommended. read more

No one looks forward to endodontic procedures, but if you ever find yourself in need of one, Dr. Kamrava is your man.

Dr Kamrava is an amazing dentist. The best ! Very professional, high tech equipment. Great staff. Didn't hurt !!! read more

Listen, nobody wants to get a root canal, but if you have to, this is the place to go. The entire staff is kind and knowledgeable and Dr. Kamrava is honest and does great work. He takes a conservative approach, only doing what's absolutely necessary- and that means a lot to me as a patient. read more

I am a terrified dental patient. I went to my dental implant Dentist with a toothache that seemed to come and go. He did a CT scan of the area of pain and said to go for a root canal with Dr. Kamrava. I have had many root canals and was terrified. I scheduled the appointment and arrived at his office scared and anxious. His receptionist was warm and welcoming. Dr. Kamrava was amazing. He explained each step of the procedure as he went along. He was very careful. He didn't rush, but took time needed to save the tooth. His kindness and expertise put me at ease. His practice has the most advanced equipment and methods of treatment. His assistants were considerate. After all my other root canal treatments I had to go to another dentist for a crown. Not so with Dr. Kamrava, he said he did the crown and I was done. His staff called today to check on me. I had no pain from the procedure. He is the best. I will recommend him / He and his supportive staff made my root canal a pleasant experience.

Had a root canal 30+ years ago, worst pain I have ever experienced. Same pain in same tooth came back during the weekend, growing in intensity until it was almost unbearable - zombie infection! My dentist reached out to Dr. Kamrava on a Sunday, he was playing golf but took a break to call me, provided pain management, and squeezed me in the next morning. He explained everything well, laid out my options, was caring, and is highly skilled. His front office and assistants were also very nice and caring. Addressing some negative reviews, endodontists like Dr. Kamrava are highly trained and skilled and have a lot of overhead (office, machinery, staff) so they aren't cheap, but he is worth every penny. read more

Wow, this guy was beyond rude, indifferent and dismissive. Plus they charged an arm and a leg for a 5 minute consultation. NEVER go there.

I was faced with an emergency--I needed a root canal two days before I was to leave the country, and Dr. Kamrava was kind enough to squeeze me in. I found the quality of care to be superb. The procedure was performed without an ounce of pain, and the post-op recovery was swift and pain-free. In addition to his skill and concern for my well-being, his office was kind enough to follow up with me several days later. I assured them that my recovery went swimmingly. I am grateful to Dr. Kamrava and his entire staff for their caring professionalism and his medical talents. I highly recommend him! read more

So I have a huge dentist phobia thanks to horrible past experiences, I found out I needed a root canal and decided on Dr. Kamrava because I had had another root canal done by him abt 15 yrs ago! Somehow my fears and pain tolerance has become less than what it used to be, even tho I remember last time I had a great experience w the root canal done by him I still was nervous! I had my root canal yesterday, I ddnt even feel the numbing injection, he was so gentle and kept telling me he was administering the numbing med very slowly so i wouldn't have any pain! I was on the chair over an hour and the entire time he explained every step and what i was to expect! Honestly at one point i almost fell sleep lol After it was done he told me i may feel throbbing for couple of days to just take Tylenol! My mouth was sore but mostly my jaw as if i had been talking for days lol everyone i talked to and told them I had had root canal all would cringe yet be so surprised whn I would tell them how I felt no pain the entire time! Today I woke up w no pain at all! He even removed some tissue to get to the cavity to clean it out yet i have no soreness any wher in my mouth, teeth nor gums! His office also called to check on me theyr Just an amazing group! Do yourself a favor and if u ever need a root canal just go to Dr. Kamrava! He is the " root canal king!" read more

The best dental procedure experience. His office took me immediately They were kind, professional, very thorough in their examination and explanation of the issue. During the procedure Dr Kamrava explained every step in a very calming way that kept me relaxed. I never felt pain or was uncomfortable throughout the entire process. His technology is impressive. Dr Kamrava also performed a procedure on my husband and he has the exact same experience. His office called me the next day to check on me and I feel great. I cannot believe how good I feel and highly recommend him. He is amazing. Atkinson read more

After many decades of procedures with the most highly regarded, Dr. Rambod is unequivocally the finest, most skilled dentist/endodontist I've ever encountered. His expertise has been a revelation so I can't speak any better of my deep satisfaction. read more

I developed an infection in a tooth that had root canal and was referred to Dr Kamrava by my dentist. Dr Kamrava was knowledgeable, and kind. He explained everything as he did the procedure. There was no discomfort or after effects. He had state of the art equipment and was very thorough. I felt very fortunate to have been referred to him. I highly recommend him. read more

I saw Dr. Kamrava for a root canal. Initially, I was a little nervous, however, he and his staff immediately helped me to feel comfortable and confident. Dr. Kamrava is kind, gentle in his care and very knowledgeable! I had a great experience, and I have not had any issues since seeing him. I am most grateful! read more

I am very happy with Dr. Kamrava. I went to him for a second opinion after another endodontist wanted to do a root canal on one of my lower molars. Surprisingly, within 5 minutes of examing me, Dr. Kamrava discovered that the problem was not in that tooth but the cracked one directly above it. The pain at the lower molar was "referred pain" from the upper one. He went ahead and did a root canal on the upper and the pain vanished. Had I stuck with the first person's advice I would have had a useless root canal done on the lower tooth which would then have necessitated a second one on the top. In addition, the procedure was entirely painless. Overall, very pleased with Dr. Kamrava and will refer friends and family to him in the future. read more

I called Dr. Kamrava at the recommendation of my amazing dentist Dr. David Fine and his ever efficient and lovely office manager Jessica for a root canal evaluation. Dr. Kamrava's office not only answered the call with a very sweet receptionist but fit me in on the same day. The rooms were clean and orderly and Dr. Kamrava was knowledgeable, friendly, reassuring and even stayed late to perform the root canal. No more pain thanks to Dr. Kamrava and his very efficient run office. Would highly recommend them!!! read more

No one wants to hear the words, "You need a root canal," but I must say that Dr. Kamrava and his staff were amazing. They are truly a team and I could hear the cooperation and teamwork happening as I was in the chair. I would recommend Dr. Kamrava to family and friends. I must also say that his calm spirit was reassuring as he went about his work. I highly recommend Dr. Kamrava. read more

Dr Kamarava is awesome. He has previously cleaned out all of my old root canals with his gentle wave process and removed all of the metal posts out of my mouth. And he will be doing a new root canal for me on Monday. He also told me a process to do to try and save another tooth from a possible root canal. I have been doing this all week and it seems to be working, and I'm so happy as I would rather not have to get another root canal. He does a great job and has an excellent bedside manner so to speak. I love him. He's really the best at what he does. And he's so sweet too! read more

Dr Kamrava is kind, knowledgeable and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. He frequently asks you if u r ok and explains what he's doing. His staff is lovely. The office is clean and it is a very positive experience being in his care. I highly recommend him! read more

I was amazed and pleasantly surprised at how efficient, professional, personable, technologically advanced and most importantly successful and painless my root canal experience was. Dr. Kamrava and his staff did an excellent job. Although I can't vouch for other dental specialists, going to Dr. Kamrava means no longer being fearful or cringing when needing a root canal. read more

They admitted me knowing it's not covered by my insurance, I thought ok it's a consultation how expensive can it be. Then I had to pay $275 for a 10minutes appointment, to be fair most of the charge is for a CT scan, but still it was a little upsetting when seeing the bill at the check out. read more

No more pain. Thank you Dr Kamrava. I can sleep and rest. Again thank you Btw friendly staff. Good service. read more

Did I even get a root canal?? It's been nearly a week since my procedure and I have not felt any pain or discomfort in that tooth since the procedure. (I actually went out to a party a few hours after getting my tooth drilled ha!). The doctor was considerate and explained everything he was doing as he was doing it. The procedure is a well run machine - it's clear that he and his team have done this thousands of times. Dr Kamrava came recommended by a family friend endodontist and I can see why. read more

Wow. I cannot thank Dr Kamrava and his incredible team (which they were short staffed) and still had a 5 star experience bc basically I came in as an emergency situation. On tues after new year, I called needing to be seen asap due to some pain on a loose and cracked silver filling. Jill asked if I could come in that day at 11:30 which I agreed to but had work at 1:30 so I called a few other offices in case I could be seen sooner in case I found another dr that could. Turns out another dr in the same building as him could see me at 10 so I called them back and told them why I had to go to the other office. They were very kind and understanding about it. So I go to the other dr. She ends up treating me the next day for the tooth where the filling is cracked, causing me shooting jaw pain and major throbbing. She's also a holistic dentist so I was happy to work with her. She took the old filling out and patched me up with the new. Well after the numbness went away, the throbbing pain was back. She immediately told me to go back to Dr Kamrava the next day to see if he could help and determine if I needed a root canal... I called Dr Kamrava's office again and spoke to Jill again who was who I spoke with on Tues and this is Thurs now, the day after my dental work from the day before. I'm explaining to Jill what happened and how I'm in so much pain and she again offers for me to come to the office ASAP. I'm thrilled, I hop in my car and they get me in the chair, determine I need a gentle wave root canal, which btw is a way more holistic procedure of healing and he looks at his schedule that day and sees that his schedule is a bit full but asked me to wait a bit so he could fit me in! I'm beyond grateful for their willingness to accommodate for me and the pain I was enduring. Only to be received kindly, professionally and swiftly! I'm seriously so happy considering how awful I felt and how much I had to spend from TWO back to back procedures but you know what? It was worth it. I felt very taken cared of and most importantly I'm out of pain. My teeth are healing and to add that cherry on top- I got a follow up call from them yesterday. The day after my procedure to check up on me and see how I was feeling. I mean seriously... these angels are my heroes and I'm so glad I found them =D Thank you Dr Kamrava. Your professionalism really shone through as I was hearing you work with your team as well as me. I can see you really love what you do and are here to help people like me. I'm def all smiles and I will certainly be telling more people about you :) read more

I had to have a root canal after experiencing pain in a tooth for almost 3 weeks after having a temporary crown put on. The doctor fit me into his schedule that week but the pain got so bad, so quickly that I had to call after hours. To my surprise, Dr. Kamrava called back within 30 minutes and fit me into his schedule the next day. I was also terrified about getting a root canal but he and his team made the process completely painless. After the procedure, which only took an hour, the pain in my tooth is gone and I feel like a normal person again. I'm very grateful for finding this office and having such an easy experience. :) read more

Dr Kamrava is an excellent dentist! He performed a root canal and saved my tooth. Six months later and everything healed up nicely. He always asks about questions or concerns and his office staff are always nice. read more

I am a baby at the dentist, I don't like or trust them in general. I had a previously filled cavity be pushed out and a temp crown placed by my regular dentist who suggested getting a consult on a root canal before placing the final crown. Dr Kamrava's office from the start was very caring and kind with me. I had hardly any symptoms. Dr. Kamrava came in and tested the tooth in a number of ways and gave a "sigh." He explained to me that because the cavity had gotten so deep after a filling fell out (... this is why I dont like my other dentist...), I was at risk of a possible abscess tooth and eventually losing it. He said if I could bare the minimal pain that it was my choice and my risk to take but his suggestion was to root canal it. The biggest advantage to doing the root canal sooner than later was not having to drill through the permanent crown. Not going to lie, I started to cry a bit out of frustration with the situation and the cost. The staff gave me a second to look at my options and said if I needed to come back that was totally fine, or he could operate immediately. I proceeded with the procedure and Dr. K talked me through the whole thing, something I find other dentists don't do... I really appreciated him talking to me as a HUMAN and a patient who has NO understanding of dentistry. He didn't really sugarcoat or pressure me on the situation but felt very genuine about the whole thing. My only complaint, as in a couple other reviews is they didn't have my records or x-rays from a week prior from my dentist. But I can place equal blame on my dentist not sending those over proactively or making sure they got them. read more

Dr. Kamrava and his team are kind, warm, and talented professionals. The office is beautiful and immaculate. The equipment is state of the art, and the root canal was easier than having a filling done. The follow-up calls were greatly appreciated and Dr. Kamrava's thoroughness was reassuring and appreciated. I recommend Dr. Kamrava and his team to anyone in need of dental work (especially a root canal)! Thank you Kamrava Team for making a long-time fear of mine as close to a pleasure as a root canal can be :). Actually, it was a pleasure - no pain, no fear, no worries - easy!! read more

I went to the doctor on a semi emergency after a problem occurring spontaneously. this morning he did an extensive root canal where the tooth had become infected. his manner was calm and professional and I in turn was calm. his office environment is calm also. he's a great doctor with new technology. I see him again in 7 months for a follow up. read more

Referred by Dr. Rosenthal. You don't always have to go with the Endodotist your dentist refers you to. Normally they have two or three to refer. This was by far the worst experience ever. From the front office staff who checked me in, an African American guy who was a bully and made threats if I didn't pay up front they wouldn't follow through with appointment, to his unprofessional attitude. Just so you are all aware, it is illegal for any office to force you to pay up front unless you are a cash patient. Get a price in writing before proceeding with the appointment. They have to bill the insurance and wait for payment to go through, then bill you. He tried to extort money from me explaining the fee up front (thousand of dollars) was necessary and a part of my co-pay or the insurance adjustable rate which is untrue. If your insurance is contracted with this endodontist, they can only, by law, charge you the contracted rate not one cent more after they receive payment from the insurance company-not before. The reason I want to get the word out- they did this to my husband who knows nothing about insurance and contracted rates. When I called and spoke with the front office guy, he told me he wouldn't refund any of the money they made my husband pay. I filed a dispute with the credit card company and then I called the insurance company and filled a formal complaint and a grievance. The insurance company contacted the office on a three way call explaining the money he collected from my husband needed to be refunded right away or Dental Dental was going to make sure to discontinue the contract they had with this endodontist. He eventually refunded it. I went into the office for a root canal and he tried to do the same thing to me. He threatened the appointment would be cancelled if I didn't pay an exorbitant amount of money up front. I called the insurance company, they called the office. I filed another formal complaint and a grievance. He was forced to comply and not charge anything-my insurance company was contracted and they have a set contracted rate. I didn't pay anything until the endotontist received payment from the insurance company.They cannot charge any more than that contracted rate. The root canal was done. I left with a tooth ground down more that it was at the dentist office after the fitting for the crown which made me have to buy a new crown. But I also left with a tooth that is cracked. The front office guy got even more rude and loud. Dr. Kamrava allows his staff to treat people this way. In fact, I heard the Dr. after the front office guy yelled at me on the phone tell him to hang the phone up after using some not so nice words at me. There are so many great Endo's in the area-choose another. This guy is a total egotistical jerk who thinks his business wont be effected by a review like this. RUN! read more

Root canals are not fun! With Dr Kamrava and his team I felt like a Grand Prix race car in the pits. He and his crew were highly trained, responsive and efficient. The whole process was relatively painless and with constant feedback I knew exactly what was happening. Oh and regarding the dental tools; I don't think I've ever been in a practice with as much high tech instrumentation. No I'm not rushing for another major procedure, but if I was it would be with Dr Kamrava and his team. read more

Dr K was awesome. I hope I never need another root canal but if I do I'm coming here. He has this special technology that is less invasive and preserves the integrity of your gums and bone (can you tell I'm an experienced patient lol). Also nice chair side manner and pretty painless. Great job. read more

Absolutely incredible doctor and staff. I had an emergency root canal and they fit me in during their lunch hour to accommodate me because I was in pain. State of the art and one of the most professional dental experiences I've ever had. I would recommend and will recommend them to everyone I know. Root canal is not something to take a chance on. Very very happy with my experience here. read more

I had a very complicated case with an infection in my bone and a botched root canal by another dentist many years ago that reared its ugly head now. I was in severe pain. Dr. Kamrava and his team spent over two hours desperately trying to get to the nerve and save my existing crown and "thinking outside of the box" to do so. He did a phenomenal job and successfully got to the infection, disinfected it and completed the root canal, and saved my crown There was so much work involved but he did it exceptionally well. If you need a root canal or if you have a very complex case, Dr. Kamrava is the only endodontist to see. Five stars are not enough!!! read more

Amazing Specialist! This root canal was done so quickly and efficiently. Dr Kamrava and his team are amazing. I had pain in upper left molar with a crown and he went into the crown and cleaned it out using Gentle Wave. I didn't feel anything I was nervous and glad it's finally over with. Recommend his office for Root Canals and they have state of the art technology!!! I was told by another Dr to get it extract ed luckily I didn't! Thank you Dr Kamrava and team! read more

Superb technical skills. Gentle hand. Calm demeanor. High tech equipment. As a physician myself, I would highly recommend him to my patients if an endodontic therapy procedure was needed. read more

I was referred to Dr. Kamrava by my dentist of thirty years. Trusting Dr. Donia like a brother, I quickly found Dr. Kamrava and his staff of professionals the best of the best. I was filled with anxiety about coming in for a root canal but Dr. Kamrava quickly calmed my nerves promising this would be a painless experience. He and his staff kept me calm and informed throughout the entire one-hour procedure. Dr. Kamrava clearly has a passion for the field of dentistry he practices with great care for the patient. Highly recommend this place and would come back in a New York minute if I ever needed a root canal again. read more
