Endodontic and Implantology not only handled the procedure flawlessly, they also talked me through every step beforehand in a way that made the whole thing feel... dare I say... manageable. By the time they started, I was actually calm. And by the next day? Zero drama, zero pain, and a tooth that finally stopped throbbing like a bad drum solo. If you're a fellow procrastinator with dental anxiety, this is the place. They earned every star. Thanks to Dr. Shirani and the entire team.

Dr. Ray Shirani, DDS, is a highly skilled and compassionate…read moreendodontist who truly understands and cares about his patients' needs. He is professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to providing exceptional care. I am grateful and honored to have been his patient. I required two root canals that were both painful and complex, and Dr. Shirani exceeded my expectations. His wisdom, expertise, and-most importantly-his patience played a significant role in successfully treating my teeth. At 73 years old, I greatly appreciated his commitment and persistence; he never gave up despite the challenges involved in my care. I would highly recommend Dr. Shirani, especially to senior citizens seeking an endodontist who is both skilled and patient-focused. His staff is equally outstanding-professional, attentive, and committed to delivering high-quality service. Overall, my experience was exceptional, and I highly recommend Dr. Shirani and his team.

But not with Dr. Jason Kung. He is a skilled practitioner, an experienced endodontist and also an honest person. He would tell you how things are and whether it is worth to save the tooth. I've known him for years from our time working together at a charity clinic in Ukiah and I know he is not into the game of "upselling" stuff you don't need.

It took one hour and there was no pain after the anastesia wore off, in spite of being told it would hurt for a few days. Dr. Chow did the second root canal, which was more complex and more uncomfortable than the first one. He also did a good job, explaining what he was doing and what to expect as he worked on my tooth.

Both my husband and my mother have been under her care, and Dr. Chen made the entire process smooth and worry-free for our family. For my husband's root canal, everything went seamlessly, and we were especially impressed by her financial integrity. We received itemized receipts, and as soon as Dr. Chen received the insurance payment, she promptly issued us a full refund for the overage. When it came to my mom, Dr. Chen went above and beyond. She was incredibly patient and, to our wonderful surprise, spoke fluent Mandarin with my mom! Dr. Chen conducted a thorough, comprehensive exam and took the time to clearly explain which teeth could be saved through endodontic care and which ones would need an oral surgeon. She created a detailed treatment plan so my mom fully understood every option. After hours of consultation, my mom ultimately decided not to proceed with the root canal right away. Dr. Chen totally respected her decision without any pressure and even kindly waived our consultation fee. On top of that, her front desk ladies are super friendly and welcoming! If you or your family members need a compassionate, skilled, and honest specialist, Dr. Chen is the absolute best. Highly recommended!

All of the staff are incredibly kind and helpful as well, they checked up on me to make sure I received the prescription for my pain medications. I was extremely nervous coming in because it's my first ever root canal treatment but Dr. Monzavi is great and I felt comfortable during the treatment. He checks on you throughout the treatment to make sure you are OK and that the procedure is painless, then after the treatment thoroughly reviews with you what has been done and what the next steps are. I had 2 appointments so far (due to the severity of the infection) and each of them took less than an hour which is way quicker than what I expected. They scheduled me another follow-up appointment to check on the healing progress. You can tell the people here care about their patients. Overall I would highly recommend this office to my family and friends and anyone else looking to get a root canal done. :)

They walked me through multiple assessments, and we agreed on a plan to save my second tooth before committing to another root canal. My recovery is 6 months before follow up, and my dentist confirmed the infection site is healing nicely after only one month.
