I was that a$$hole that showed up at closing time needing an emergency procedure because my pain was unbearable. Dr.Kamrath and her team were excellent and squeezed me in. I've always had MAJOR anxiety at any dental facility and I'm very sensitive to dental work. I was Absolutley blown away by how she took her time slowly placing the oral injections and explained every single part of what was happening. Part of my anxiety is not knowing what is going on and she eased my discomfort. I have had a TON of dental work and met so many dental professionals but not a single one of them was as gentle and understanding as Dr.Kamrath. I'm so sorry to the team that I made you stay late but I cannot express how grateful I am for your help and kindness. I will never refer another Dr for endo work. She is the best. I feel the pricing was reasonable too. Thank you again everyone who stayed late to help me. read more

Kaijsa, Camille, Cindy, I cannot thank you enough for your patience with me throughout my visit and leading up to it. Dr. Poelman is amazing. She is without question the best endodontist on the planet. Today she worked wonders to perform a root canal on one of my upper molars. I have very deep roots. Most other endodontists cannot perform to Dr. Poelman's standards and quality of care. Don't put off a cracked tooth or sensitivity. I highly recommend you get a consultation at this office. Dr. Poelman is incredible. The experience was painless. read more

A couple weeks ago I had a sudden pain in tooth #31. I went to my regular dentist who informed me that I would most likely need a root canal. He referred me to the "girls" at RB Endodontics just up the street who were able to see me the very same day. From previous experience, I was grateful because I know how kind, competent, and professional they are up there. Dr. Dyana Eidelstein examined the tooth and discussed options with me. I decided I wanted to save the tooth, and in two visits the root canal was complete. I want to thank everyone involved...from Aishah at the front desk, to Camille, the most kind, friendly, and personable dental assistant...and Dr. Dyana Eidelstein for providing a really excellent pain-free experience and, what I expect will be, a durable repair of the tooth. read more

Absolutely the best endo ever. They are super clean, super sweet and caring and make every procedure so easy. If you are fearful of dentistry look no further because they are amazing. Root canals are smooth and easy. Highly recommend! read more

I would highly recommend Rancho Bernardo Endodontics. Dr. Corene Poelman is one of the most caring and compassionate dental professionals I have ever met. From the moment you walk into her office, she makes you feel comfortable and well cared for. She is incredibly professional, highly skilled, and takes the time to explain every step of the procedure and answer any questions. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Corene Poelman. You will be in excellent hands! read more

This place rocks! No one wants a root canal, but they make it fun, and pretty much pain free. This is the third time I've used them, and it's been 13 years since last time. I watched TV on the ceiling above me during the whole procedure! The doc's and assistant's were very verbally clear with everything! Never happy to need them , but these people were all you could hope for, from the girl at the front doing the paperwork.....all digital btw.( It was a lot like checking in at a hotel. )...to the doctor and her assistants. Everyone was so nice! Price seemed very fair as well btw..... read more

Was worried about having root canal done. Everyone in this office was so helpful and supportive. Absolutely had no pain after root canal. Gave me options on treatments. Would recommend this office if needing any dental work done. read more

Every aspect of my visit here far exceeded my expectations. My initial call was answered by someone knowledgeable and friendly. All of my questions were answered thoughtfully and thoroughly. I arrived for my appointment and was both checked in taken back promptly. In the couple of minutes I was waiting to be taken back, I looked around, and the office was spotless. Not a speck of dust I could see on anything. There was plenty of air purification going on as well. This level of cleanliness was very nice to see. The dental tech who took me back was friendly and did my imaging quickly and efficiently. Like out front, I noticed all of the equipment to be very clean and in excellent condition. I notice things like smudges on cabinets constantly (I am a bit OCD in that way), but everything here was in top shape. Hats off to whomever does their cleaning! The Dr. came over a couple of minutes after the tech was done and asked me lots of questions and listened intently to my answers. She asked applicable follow up questions and provided thoughtful answers. My exam and treatment were provided with care and to my complete satisfaction. The Dr. was absolutely wonderful to deal with. While this was not a place I wanted to be, the entire team made me feel welcome, cared for, and in highly capable hands. I will absolutely be back if I ever need their services again and will enthusiastically recommend them to anyone. read more

I have had the best experience with this office several times. Let me first say the staff is incredibly compassionate to your pain, needs, time, etc. Unfortunately I have had to have several different types of procedures done, from root canals to a tooth extraction. They offer a sedation if you are worried about the experience. I just finished an hour root canal on a back molar, I slept through without sedation, not feeling a thing. They make you so comfortable and make sure it's painless. I had a sudden pain in a tooth hit me on a Friday, I called my own dentist, along with 6 others and their backups. NO one would fit me in for an emergency to see what was going on. Desperate.... I called this office unsure what to do before the weekend. They said to come in right then. It was later in the afternoon, the Dr eased the pain and did some work on it to relieve me for a week till I could get a root canal. If you dread oral surgery of any kind, this is definitely the office to go to for the best OVERALL EXPERIENCE. read more

The receptionist - Renee - is very rude, entitled and she will make you feel unwelcome even over the phone!! Why would I have to pay for such a horrible service! read more

My experience at Rancho Bernardo Endodontics for a root canal was outstanding. Dr Kamrath was professional, kind, and ready to answer any of my many questions. After a referral from the dentist, I was admitted quickly, diagnosed, and treated the same day for a completely dead tooth that had been extremely painful. The procedure itself was without incident and without pain once the anaesthetic took hold. Camille at the front desk carefully explained the financials beforehand. I remember the old days getting a root canal and it was nothing near as nice as this. Highly recommend RB Endodontics. read more

I recommend this dental office without reservations, Dr.Kamrath and Dr.Kaminski are very kind, knowledgable and thorough. I had a root canal done with Dr.Kamrath and it is usually a very stressful event, however her care, experience and reassurance made a huge difference! And their office manager, Renee and staff members are all wonderful too! will return to their care if I ever need any endodontic issues read more

Excellent experience and very professional. I was very apprehensive about my upcoming root canal. They did A great job of explaining the process to me. It was quick and painless. read more

Terri F, another Yelp-er had written a review about Rancho Bernard Endodontics, talking about how great her experience was with them. So, knowing I needed a root canal that I had been putting off for months, I sent Teri a Yelp message asking for more details. She wrote back with incredible details about the office and Dentists there. Based on Teri's recommendation I made an appointment with Dr Corene Poelman! I've had a few root canals in the past, and without exception I can only describe them as medieval. I told Renee- their Office Manager about my past experiences and that I was pretty apprehensive. Renee was very understanding and assured me that this would be a totally different experience for me. From the moment I arrived for my appointment, Renee, Camille (Chair side Technician) and Dr Poelman were amazing. Clearly, they've had patients like me before, because they were extremely compassionate and understanding. Camille explained everything they would be doing to make the right diagnosis, and after my x-ray Dr Poelman came in, introduced herself and told me the treatment plan including plan A, B & C in case things looked different once they got into my tooth. Between Camille and Dr. Poelman they took a good 30+ minutes explaining and reassuring me before anything started. Renee came back to speak with me with costs for treatment, so I knew everything upfront. Once they got going, Dr Poelman took at least 15 minutes with the "dreaded injections" which I can honestly say I barely felt. She wanted to make sure I was totally numb before she did anything. She also kept checking on me throughout the 1 hour procedure, which was different than I've experienced with most dentists of any kind. Her chair side Technician Camille was also terrific! Dr Poelman was very gentle, and even spoke softly to me and Camille to keep the mood in the room calm and relaxed. It was over before I knew it! Unfortunately, I have to go back for another visit because of the amount of infection in the root. But Dr Poelman assures me that it will be a much easier visit since all the nerve in the tooth has been removed. At least I'm not dreading that visit in 3 weeks. read more

Just a note that years later, when I had some inklings of another possible root canal needed, the team here spent time on the phone to let me know what to watch for and when to worry, and allowed me to decide that the work can wait a bit. No fear mongering to push a sale. When I do need it, this is exactly where I will go. I updated my past 4 stars to a 5 star now. read more

I love Dr. Kamrath and would give her 10 stars if I could. I was having tooth pain and was pretty sure I needed a root canal. I hadn't been to RB Endodontics in years but I remembered how professional and competent Dr. Kamrath had been ten years back. I trusted her. I was able to get right in and she took care of me. Once again, she took care of me and I had utter confidence in her. Even my dentist, who has his own circle of specialists that he recommends, was impressed with her work and mentioned how thorough her report was and what terrific x-rays she shared. Thanks again, Dr. Kamrath! You are the best! read more

I will admit to being a big chicken when it comes to tooth issues. It takes A LOT for me to trust dentists. But the ladies at this facility treated me with the utmost care and respect, and the job they did was absolutely PHENOMENAL! I even received a check in over the weekend just to make sure I'm healing ok. How's that for customer service?! Very happy customer here!!! read more

WARNING! After botching my root canal, they wanted to charge me $400 for an office consultation to review why I'm still having pain after almost 2 years - they refuse to take responsibility to trying to make it right after they charged me over $3,500 for the original procedure. read more

Truly exceptional! Dr. Poelman worked on my husbands' teeth recently and he was beyond thrilled with the treatment he received. Well, as excited as you can be with just having complex dental work performed! lol He found Dr. Poelman to be professional, personable, knowledgable, highly skilled, and nurturing. Her energy was exceptional! Office appeared to subscribe to the most meticulous of safety and sanitation standards. The appointment process was also seamless as the front desk staff was outstanding in ensuring everything went smooth. My husband did have a share of cost at the end but this is sometimes expected (with our insurance) and the office conveyed that if there is an overage, they'll just mail us a check. Easy peezy! Thanks RB Endodontics! read more

The thought of having to have a root canal procedure has generally sent a chill up my spine. I have been dental-phobic my entire life. This week I had my second root canal in three months. I had not a moment of anxiety and the least pain I could imagine. RB Endodontics is the best run dental office I have ever visited. The staff is very patient oriented. The atmosphere is calm and professional and the technology is the most advanced available. Dr. Heidi Kamrath is highly professional, kind, gentle and friendly. She is a natural caregiver. I couldn't recommend a endodontics practice more highly. read more

Dr. Poleman and staff went above all expectations for my first ever root canal. I came in with all the anxiety one might imagine for this type of procedure and that was all dispelled by the kindness, and genuine care during the procedure. I was very pleased with the service, care, and explanations throughout the process. I would highly recommend this business to any family/friends needing the same. read more

I've just had my 2nd root canal with Dr. Heidi Kamrath. She and the whole staff are excellent, professional and kind. Dr. Kamrath is a fantastic doctor! Not only is she an expert in the latest technology, she is also very calming and compassionate. After meeting her, I immediately had complete confidence in her. She explains everything which I so appreciate. Also, the office follows up on you to see how you're doing. read more

Pros: Very pleased with the restoration done to an old root canal. The office and reception staff were all very polite, relaxed and genuinely seem to want to be there. Dr Heidi, though, was just brutal! I kid, she was brutally nice :) I had 3D scans taken the first day, all the x-rays explained in detail (when in doubt, I asked them to be explained). Actual root canal and post treatment was remarkably painless. I have had a few root canals in the past and I wasn't looking forward to this one, but Dr Heidi was really patient. I felt the procedure was not rushed at all, something I really appreciated. The actual tooth was handled with care. A good experience overall. Cons: The office could be a tad tricky to find the first time. Its located a bit inside in a group of building complex. If this is your first time, take 5 mins extra in your schedule. I needed it. A bit pricey for my budget, but it is what it is. However, this will be the first place I recommend to my friends and family should they need help. read more

5 Stars and five reasons why. 1. They had me in the chair 20 minutes after my family dentist gave me the bad news that it was root canal time. A hard kind of root canal. 2. Covid aware from the minute you walk in the door, but without being overly sensitive to it. They did the right things without it seeming burdensome. There should be a separate category for business was that do this well. Like 6 Stars. 3. Relaxing waiting room, but rarely used due to great scheduling. One other person there in my two visits and they were masked up and I was able to wait outside. 4. The procedure went off with zero pain, no issues and with full understanding of my weirdness (I can't hear verbal descriptions of actual procedures without getting weak). I told the Doctor that I trusted her and to just assume I would agree with her professional opinion. She agreed and I went to sleep and woke up with a complicated root canal completed. Zero pain. Unbelievable. 5. Now for the best part and let's face it, the most important part of a medical relationship. The front office staff and not-Doctors were absolutely the best humans in what could have been a tense ordeal. They were funny, but directive. Kind, but clear when they really needed me to do something. Mostly they were accurate with what was going to happen and always they put me at ease. I could name names, but everyone deserve anonymity unless they tell me to add their names after I bring presents to the office and they have read this. So while the Doctors may have been expert and accomplished, the front office staff were even better. Like excellence and superior fighting to see whose best. read more

This office is exceptional in the service they provide, I have been a patient on several occasions over the years and have always been treated with the kindest care possible. I highly recommend this office and their staff !! read more

I had a root canal completed here that had to be completed in two visits. Then I went to my general dentist only to find out that it wasn't completed properly and had it redone elsewhere. Stay away! read more

Outstanding care as well as a warm and friendly staff. Without reservation, I recommend Dr Heidi Kamrath for dental care that requires an expert. Dr Kamrath not only cares for you but educated along the was positioning to make better decisions. read more

the receptionist, renee, was very helpful from the time i called to the moment i left after my procedure. it was a painful day for me and she got me the same day for an emergency root canal. it was great to have her kindness throughout the process. dr. kamrath kept me informed during the procedure and was very gentle. she made it easy to trust her and feel comfortable. no one wants to have a root canal but i feel better knowing i have these professionals to take care of me the next time i need one. read more

I arrived for an urgently needed root canal on my "lucky #13" this afternoon, and Dr. Kamrath and the support team at RBE were fantastic! They fit me into their schedule with late notice on a Friday, and graciously welcomed me to their practice. They performed efficient and targeted diagnostics (CBCT is amazing), explained their findings, and outlined the procedure, and then put me at ease during the whole process. Truly expert work, with a 100% patient-centered style. I've had at least 3 root canals, and I won't say I enjoyed getting this done, but it was the best experience of this kind that I have EVER had. I arrived in agony, and left feeling soothed and cared for, and completely pain free. No joke, if all dentist visits were like this, I'd be happy to go to the dentist more often. read more

Dr. Heidi Kamrath at Rancho Bernardo endodontics is amazing. My recent root canal there was easy and Basically painless. They have a new system that pushes the medication through the root canals and reaches spots that would make this type of procedure normally more difficult. I had the procedure yesterday and I have no pain or swelling today and was able to sleep well last night. I recommend this group to you and to your regular dentist if you need an endodontic procedure. read more

I'll be recommending Rancho Bernardo Endodontics to any of my friends and family that need any root canal work. I had an abscess underneath an old root canal, that needed to be "re-root canaled". The procedure was explained in detail and completed with a soft touch. I have been dreading taking care of this but in the end I had nothing to fear. The front desk staff, the dental assistants, and the Doctors here are all superb at their jobs. Thank you Rancho Bernardo Endodontics. read more

This practice is a true blessing. I had to basically have an emergency root canal. My dentist called Rancho Bernardo Endodontics and they were kind enough to fit me in the same day. I had been in pain for 2 months thinking it was just my new crown that needed to be readjusted. This office is amazing. Renee was wonderful in discussing the billing and welcoming me to the office. All the assistants were kind and comforting. Every step of the way Doctor Corene Poelman explained what was happening and what to expect. I really appreciated the post care discussion and how detailed they were. Even though Root Canals are not fun, this practice made it so easy. I would recommend them to EVERYONE!! read more

I am very pleased with the work Dr. Kamrath did on my root canal. I have anxiety with getting dental work, and so I took medicine from the dentist office that calmed me down, and I actually fell asleep while she was doing the work! The healing process didn't take much time, and I am back to chewing food normally without anymore pain. read more

I had a root canal at a previous dentist in another country and my dentist thought that perhaps the root canal would need redoing. So I came here. I cannot recall which dentist I saw however I was impressed, they took xrays and went over all of the options. They were allowing me to make a decision and felt that actually it would be best just to let the tooth rest a further 6 months and see if I had any problems. As it turned out the root canal was absolutely fine and I didnt require another root canal. I am thankful they were so thorough and were not just out to get money from a root canal whcih was not necessary. read more

Never thought I'd give a rating of 5 for a root canal! Come to think of it , if there were ten stars available I'd use them all. Dr. Poelman is the best. Kudos to Karla. Lisa W.'s review says it all. Thank you all at Rancho Bernardo Endodontics!!! read more

I took my 14 year old son today for Endo treatment from a trauma tooth with Dr.Heidi Kamrath. Excellent experience, front desk lady was very sweet, Dr.Kamrath was extremely knowledgeable! Thank you for your service and would highly recommend! read more

i have had root canal surgeries from 2 other endodontists . but i've had several over a few years now from dr. heidi kamrath and she just finished 3 on my front teeth yesterday. she never disappoints me. the long proceedure was totally painless as always. by the time i arrived home, all of the lidocaine had left me able to be "normal" again. i didn't need any tylenol.i live in an assisted living facility & hear the usual horror stories from other residents but they were amazed that i just had 3 "canals" done with no discomfort! i sit in the chair & have 2 pretty women caring & pampering me & renee at the front desk is a very pleasant & efficient treat also. i was called away and not able to finish my review but reading the ones others have written i strongly agree with their comments. thanks heidi and your staff very much. read more

this was by far the best dental experience i have ever had. dr kamrath fixed a root canal that had been causing me problems for years. she was able to see the problem that others had missed and correct it. she carefully explained every step that she was going to perform and there were no surprises, except how quickly i was pain free. i will forever be grateful! read more

Great Staff here at RB Endodontics. Very patient and very informative. I hate it when docs dumb it down and Heidi was very understanding and explained all the info I asked for (more than most I'm guessing). Also they did all they could to manage me in for urgent cases (2X). Very flexible and understanding. Comfortable rooms and environment. Highly recommend this practice. read more

Amazing all women office!!! Not sure if by design but definitely noticed and appreciated. Great fish tank out front. All staff are kind, straightforward. Didn't recommend unneeded work even though it could have lined their pockets. Thanks for being honest, and for referring me quickly to another specialist. read more
