My experience with Premiere endodontics was 100% perfect. I needed a complicated root canal to save…read morea tooth. The procedure was performed by Dr. Ashish Sahasra with superb and conscientious technical precision that resulted in a successful root canal. The procedure was thorough and not rushed. Dr. Sahasra is clearly experienced and is very warm, reassuring and down to earth. He thoroughly, confidently and kindly took all the time necessary to explain my procedure. I could not have had a more professional experience. The entire office staff and the dental assistants are friendly, thorough and kindly assisted me with my referral. My appointment was right on time with no wait. This why so many dentists refer their patients to Premier Endodontics. They also have numerous convenient locations. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with this endodontics group if you need a root canal. Highly recommended.

I saw Dr Ju for a root canal. He was very cold and I was scared the whole time as he never really…read morespoke to me or explained what he was doing. At the end, he didn't actually check the bite (using a tap) after he put in the temporary filling, just eyeballed it. This was checked the next day and adjusted when I went to a different office because I was in a lot of pain. I wasn't given the brochure on the aftercare - again got it the next day from a different office. Wasn't even told not to eat or drink until the numbness was gone - was just told not to chew anything hard on that side of my mouth while he was finishing up as he seemed in a hurry to get done. Overall I would not recommend the Garden City office as didn't find anyone there particularly caring. And definitely wouldn't recommend Dr Ju. I was treated much better by the on call doctor from a different office when I called for help because I was in so much pain (was given an antibiotic) and by still another office when I went there the next day.

I was referred to Island Endodontics for a root canal retreatment on a tooth that had no active…read morepain but showed signs of a dormant infection. After the procedure, my pain escalated significantly. No one from the office followed up with me after the procedure--not Thursday, not Friday--until I called them myself to report the worsening pain. Given the known risks associated with retreatments, that kind of silence felt careless and left me vulnerable. When I called on Friday afternoon to report severe pain, I was told it was "normal" and to call back Monday. I wasn't informed that the office was open Saturday, even though I called before closing time and spoke directly to the doctor. I was later told I "could have checked the website" -- as if it was my responsibility, while in pain, to search for help instead of being told directly that I could come in. By Saturday, the pain became unbearable. I called the emergency line and was referred to an oral surgeon for an extraction the next day. I wasn't advised to fast beforehand, so I couldn't be sedated and had to undergo the procedure fully awake and only partially numb due to the infection. It was a traumatic experience. Although the doctor followed up after the emergency call and again afterward, pain management was never discussed, despite the well-documented risk that retreatments can trigger infections or abscesses. If pain is a known possibility, there should be a plan in place--or at the very least, guidance on what to do. I had none. I had no idea things could escalate like this, and I was left to navigate an emergency on my own. I also have a chronic autoimmune condition that makes me immunocompromised. This was known to the provider, yet it was never acknowledged or factored into my care. There was no closer monitoring, no heightened attention to risk, and no proactive follow-up -- which felt especially negligent given my higher risk for complications. It's also important to note that the retreatment was never completed. I was scheduled to return to finish the procedure, but the pain became so severe that the tooth had to be removed beforehand. I was still expected to make payments toward a treatment that was ultimately unfinished and caused harm. On top of everything, I'm now left with multiple unexpected expenses -- including the emergency extraction, an additional visit to an unrelated dentist on Saturday because I had no idea Island Endodontics was open, and a hospital visit following the extraction when I was no longer able to cope on my own. None of these costs would have occurred had I been properly informed, supported, or followed up with. Adding to the confusion, I received follow-up calls from doctors I'd never met, with no clarity on who was contacting me. One voicemail referred to "how the tooth is settling in," even though the tooth had already been extracted -- a small but telling moment that reinforced how disjointed the communication had been throughout. I later learned that the doctor who handled my procedure wasn't informed of my emergency until days later. That lack of internal coordination is deeply concerning and only amplified the sense that I had to manage this crisis alone. I also lost several days of work that I hadn't planned to take off. Had I been informed this kind of escalation was possible, I would have adjusted my schedule accordingly. Instead, I was left to rearrange everything last-minute, while in severe pain. This wasn't just physically traumatic -- it disrupted my life, and I was given no opportunity to prepare. I'm sharing this because patients deserve full transparency, appropriate aftercare, and real compassion. I did not receive that here.

I could not be happier with my experience at this office! I was dreading having an existing root…read morecanal done years before by my regular dentist- redone. I woke up in agony on a Friday morning, with a swollen face. I had previously scheduled an appointment for later in the month. The receptionist was so kind, she said they would find a way to get me in that day. Within minutes she calked me right back to come in First off, there is a parking lot. One less thing to think about. I was greeted warmly, and waited just a few brief minutes in a lovely, relaxing, clean waiting room. I was treated by Dr. Navarrete, and her assistant. Experiencing severe pain, I much appreciated their gentleness and "chairside manner" After treating the infected area , she prescribed antibiotics and ice for the swelling. A week later, feeling so much better I went back so they could finish treating and cleaning the root area. Dr Shawn Pobiner and his assistant completed the final steps, I actually laughed at the amusing stories they shared. Again, this experience was gentle and positive. I hope I don't ever need another root canal, but if I do I know I will be in good hands here.
