My positive experience started before I even walked through the door. Jackie at the front desk was…read moreprofessional, polite, and incredibly accommodating. She understood the urgency of my situation and did everything she could to get me scheduled same day, while still working around my schedule. Her compassion and responsiveness immediately made me feel like I called the right place. Upon arriving, I can see from the amount of other patients in the operatories that the doctor was busy yet I felt that her staff were thorough and attentive. While getting X-rays, I could hear laughter and genuine rapport between the doctor, her staff, and patients coming from down the hallway. It immediately created a warm, family-oriented atmosphere that put me more at ease. Dr. Sarshar has many gifts, but what stood out most was her sincere desire to understand my concerns--not just clinically, but financially and emotionally as well. I had a traumatic experience with and endodontist as a child and she quickly recognized the distress I was experiencing from needing and responded with genuine empathy and understanding. Rather than simply focusing on the procedure itself, she took the time to relate to my concerns, address my anxiety, and explain the measures she would take to keep me as comfortable as possible. She was not pushy or overly conservative. She clearly outlined my options and how she would minimize pain during the procedure and manage discomfort afterward, which gave me tremendous confidence and peace of mind. Once the procedure began, she clearly explained every step of the process: what she would be doing, why it was necessary, and how long it would take. Throughout the procedure, she continued to communicate what to expect, which further helped ease my anxiety. It was also obvious that she and her assistant, Maria, worked seamlessly together and were in complete sync. Afterward, Dr. Sarshar took the time to thoroughly explain her findings in terms that were easy to understand. She discussed both the best-case and worst-case scenarios and made sure I left with a clear understanding of my prognosis and next steps. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience. If you're feeling nervous, in pain, or facing an unexpected dental emergency, this is the type of doctor you want in your corner.

I was referred to East County Endodontics by Dr. Jamma DDS over at Singing Hills in Rancho San…read moreDiego. The location looks like an older apartment that were converted for commercial use, but I could be wrong. At any rate, having a root canal is no fun, but I am glad thus far that I had my first one ever here with Dr. Sashar. After filling out the necessary documents, I was asked to go in for x-rays, the consult, and then the root canal. I was pleased with the Dr. not only explained the process before hand, but also offered options. In the end, the root canal was completed on #15. I was given a good amount of pain killer before and even during the procedure when needed. Dr. Sashar did her best to make sure the procedure went well and painless. Don't get me wrong, it's an uncomfortable procedure, but was required, short of completely replacing the whole molar. Dr. Sashar, was very good at explaining what was happening as she performed the root canal. Everyone was very nice and supportive in the office. In addition to Dr. Sashar being super nice and patient, the receptionist and Dr. Sashar's assistants were all very friendly. I hope I never will need another root canal, but if I do, I know where to come.

It was my first time coming to this dental office, which is located in a newer medical building attached to Sharp Hospital. Everything from social distance markings on the elevator floors to the receptionist wearing a mask, made me feel comfortable but I was still nervous as hell. Most people: "I don't like going to the dentist but Me: I have anxiety and a true fear of the dentist and needles, etc, that causes me to be nervous wreck the moment I even think about going, let alone actually sitting in the dentist chair. My ROOT CANAL experience. Dr. Sugita was AMAZING. I usually wear headphones with volume up so I can't hear anything. Dr. Sugita's calm voice and the methodical way he requested the next tool he needed was soothing and actually calmed me down. I'm not exaggerating this, but I DID NOT FEEL A THING! Not even the initial shot of novocaine, not the ones after. I usually feel everything and while the pain isn't much, it's the thought of the needle that gets me. The Doctor and his assistant were efficient and I was done in no time at all. In short, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SUGITA

I walk in and the waiting area is small but beautifully done with free coffee cart area and very modern sleek leather couches, a huge bay window with hanging plants. The girl at the front did her due diligence with my 2 insurances to make sure i saved the most, then Dr David's assistant, Yesenia, calls me back and immediately was so sweet and concerned for my lips getting dried up during my procedure that she applied Vaseline to my lips for comfort! At that point i thought i was in Beverly Hills getting my root canal, but i was in good ol El Cajon!! Dr David comes in and shakes my hand and introduces himself. He explains what is going to happen and they both start to prep me. So once it was time for the needle i grabbed a hold of the arm of the dental chair expecting the normal pain that comes from the shot to numb my mouth. I am extremely familiar with this pain because i have had 8 root canals in my day. But he and yesenia wanted to orally numb first. One held my mouth open while the other held pressure to the gums with the long Q tip covered in the numbing agent. As time passed i realized they were timing it. Most dental offices put the Q tip in your mouth and then go from one room to the next seeing as many patients simultaneously but this guy was different and he was making sure i got everything i needed in order to experience the least amount of pain. Ok now the needle! He injected and kept asking "does that hurt"? I NEVER FELT A THING! The procedure lasted about 45 mins and throughout the process yesenia talked me through it explaining what was happening. Then at checkout instructions were giving with anti inflammatories and a steroid pak for the post-op pain. Today -2 days later, on a Saturday Dr David calls me to check on me! Wow i really got the full experience with this team. I highly recommend Dr David for all ur endodontist needs. FYI i am also in the medical field so i am always looking for the highest standard of care. And let's be real I'm somewhat of a nit picker! Nothing bad to say about this office!

I have followed Heather where ever she goes for the past 20 years (that's right - she has been doing this forever and she knows her stuff backwards and forwards). She even goes to all these CMEs to keep learning about the best and newest ways to do things. I have had to go to a different hygienist because I left this area and man, was I happy to be back. I wish I could give her 10 stars. But, more importantly, anywhere Heather goes, you can expect that she will make everyone around her better from the front staff to the dental assistants and everyone in between. And the dentist, Dr. Waleed, very thankful for him and his fast and efficient work - like who wants to sit in a dental chair forever, right! But the bottom line is, because I have done everything Heather has told me to do with my teeth - I don't need to see the dentist for treatments much. I trust this office with my entire family.

My initial experience left me frustrated, and I had given a negative review. However, after…read morereceiving a personal call from Dr. Lim, I've changed my perspective. His treatment itself was excellent, and I truly appreciate the care I received. Unfortunately, the billing process was disappointing. During my root canal removal, I was told by the staff that the consultation fee would be covered by my insurance. I paid the remaining amount--over a thousand dollars--and thought everything was settled. A few weeks later, I received a call from the office stating that I now owed the consultation fee, which was frustrating since I was previously told it would be covered. I was later informed that the issue stemmed from an incorrect billing code being submitted. Understandably, this left me feeling uneasy. What changed everything was a call I received today from Dr. Lim himself. He apologized sincerely for the confusion and explained that he is working to improve the system to avoid these kinds of issues in the future. His call showed me that he genuinely cares about his patients and their experience--not just medically, but holistically. Because of that conversation, I now feel confident recommending Dr. Lim. He is a skilled provider who takes responsibility and makes the effort to improve. That level of care matters.
