Dr. Makalmi is a skilled and caring endodontist. Being someone who is always nervous about root canals, his approach (thorough explanations, checking your comfort, etc.) helped ease my anxiety. I would definitely recommend him for root canal or endodontic care! read more

The office staff is friendly and welcoming and Dr Malkami was very knowledgeable, friendly, capable, quick and efficient! My root canal was done in 30 minutes and the technology he uses made everything go very smoothly.

I recently needed two root canals, and I was absolutely amazed by how incredible Dr. Malkami is! I never felt a thing--this was by far the best root canal experience I've ever had! From start to finish, everything was smooth, painless, and efficient. Dr. Malkami is not only highly skilled but also an absolute ray of sunshine! His state-of-the-art microscope allowed him to locate the nerve within seconds, and in just 40 minutes, he completed my root canal--something that used to take me several hours at other offices. I was worried that my tooth might be beyond saving, but thanks to his expertise, he saved it! The office staff was also wonderful--kind, welcoming, and incredibly efficient. I didn't even have to wait when I arrived! I truly can't say enough great things about this office. Never did I think I'd be this ecstatic about a root canal, but Dr. Malkami is just that amazing. Thank you, Dr. Malkami, and a huge thanks to your wonderful team--I am so grateful! Debbie R. read more

I had two root canals done with Dr Saman Malkami, and the experience was excellent both times. The dentist was professional, gentle, and very knowledgeable. Everything was clearly explained, and the procedures were smooth and comfortable. Hands down the best dentist I've been to. Highly recommend. read more

From the front office staff to being treated by Dr. Malkami, it was great. He and his staff gave up their lunch break so that I would not have to make 2 office visits. I cannot recommend him enough. read more

I'm part of the group of people who dread going to the dentist and not necessarily happy to have to get a root canal, Dr. Malkami put me at ease even before the procedure and took the time to explain what was going on with my teeth. During the procedure he chatted and took my mind off what was going on. I'm still in recovery but it seems like things went well. read more

Dr Gee completed my root canal today and it was done in less than an hour. Staff kind and welcoming. Technician who did my X-rays was friendly. Very smooth all in all and local anesthesia was very generous. Organized and clean office and Dr Gee's hands were so gentle. He kept checking in with me to make sure I was ok! read more

Dr. Malkami is Great! He was thorough, efficient and explain everything really well. He was also very professional & really kind. I was scared at first because this was my first root canal but once he started everything went smooth. Also the staff is amazing as well! read more

Highly recommend! Great and super friendly service. I found and used them straight from these yelp reviews and they were all spot on. Use these folks! read more

Review from a TERRIFIED patient. I went to see Dr. Malkami for a number of things. From the moment I called to schedule my consultation, Liz made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I saw him two days later. He was great...No bs, straight to the point, it was obvious he knew what he was talking about. We made a plan for me to see one of his associates as he was traveling. As I was walking to the front, he stopped Liz and said, "She came this way for me, I'll come in for her." I could not believe that. Fast forward to yesterday, Friday the 19th, and he comes in, telling me I will enjoy my experience. I needed three root canals, who in their right mind enjoys root canals?!? Well, less than an hour later, all three root canals were done, and he was not lying- I enjoyed my time with him and his assistant very much. He explained what he was doing along the way, found teaching moments for his assistant, and included me in conversation. He literally had me laughing in the middle of a root canal. Unfortunately I have horrible teeth (thanks mom and dad), so I've had quite the amount of work done. Never have I walked away from a place feeling so great. When the numbing wore off, I was worried I'd feel pain- nothing. I didn't even have to take Motrin. Dr. Malkami, thank you for being you and genuinely caring about people. It is obvious you love what you do, and you are AMAZING at it. I look forward to seeing you next year. read more

I recommend Dr. Malkami for your Root Canal needs. I have experienced several dental procedures on my teeth & gums throughout my life, except the root canal until I found Dr. Malkami. I was unsure about having to get a root canal, wasn't looking forward to this at all. But Dr. Malkami's root canal procedure was quick and painless. Bravo. Dr. Malkami is a gentleman, super experienced professional who keeps you informed during every step of the process and makes sure you're comfortable. I am very, very happy to have found Dr. Malkami and to meet his excellent office staff. A huge congratulations and thank you to Dr. Malkami. read more

Dr. Malkami was phenomenal! I was so nervous about my root canal procedure, but he put my fears to rest immediately with his caring manner, full explanations, expertise, and ongoing reassurances. The initial injections that I feared so much were a piece of cake. Thank you, Dr Malkami!! You are the best! read more

Dr. Saman is so funny and he gave me a root canal that was shockingly fast. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was a pleasant experience. He has new technology that makes it so the root canal takes less than an hour. The last one I had was at least twice the time I spent in Dr Maman's chair. And they didn't entertain me with hilarious stories last time. 10/10 recommend! read more

Dr. Malkami performed a root canal w/o drama (like prior endodontist office), explaining the x-ray, all pretty efficiently. Further, he is compassionate & interesting. Office staff very pleasant, parking easy in back of building. I actually had a good time!! read more

If you ever have a need to see a specialist this is the guy to go to. TRUST me when I say that I have had extensive work done in the past by shady dentists. In 2017-2018 I had 4 teeth that needed root canals. At least two of them were retreatments of another root canal done by another dentist with the past few years who did a very bad job. I was very lucky because I had insurance that covered retreatments at no additional cost. Dr. Malkami was such a great experience. I was in no pain, he had really up to date equipment, there was no wait in the office but it was obvious that he wasn't hurting for patients. The women who manage the front office are very nice and very accomodating. I probably took about 40 minutes for each one. Dr. Malkami went above and beyond helping me to save my teeth. There was no upcharge in his pricing but he does include a special antibacterial or medicinal component to the water that is used to flush the mouth while he is working and this isn't covered by insurance, but it was only $200 (back in 2018), and it is not a scam upsell, I mean, it's a continual microbial rinse as he's working to make sure that no bacteria get in the tooth while it's open. For the work this man did, and for the actual compliments I get by other dentists "This root canal was beautifully done!" He is not overbooked and can get next-day appointments if you need. If you are looking for an endodontist as a referral and he takes your insurance, go with him. Because of this endodontist I have taken out personal HMO insurance just so I can continue to see him if needed. I was told recently that I needed 6 root canals by another dentist but it turns out that I don't, but when I was told, I came straight to this office. read more

If you have any fear or anxiety about root canals, THIS is the place you need to go to put that fear at ease. I was blown away at how painless the whole procedure was. The numbing was very quick and precise, and the whole root canal was a breeze! The funny banter between the dentist and his partner kept me from thinking about anything else going on. When the numbing agent wore off I felt zero pain, just a little tenderness. I highly recommend this professional, friendly and amazing dentist and staff to anyone! read more

Well, well, well. I had my FIRST EVER ROOT CANAL today and it went great! I would give this place 100 stars haha. My dentist referred me to this place two weeks ago and sure enough I needed a root canal...I AM SO GLAD THAT I GOT REFERRED HERE. I'm not scared to go to the dentist or anything but because I haven't had a procedure like this before..I was really worried and scared but Dr. Malkami and Janet were so patient in explaining everything and they made sure that I will be comfortable. Covid-19 Action: The place was so clean and nice. They take your temperature and asks you to sign the waiver regarding the symptoms and stuff. There's a big sanitizer by the counter that you can use. Everyone is wearing masks and follows the precautions. Consultation: I had the consultation yesterday and I'm glad that Dr. Malkami explained everything so easily to understand. Sure enough, I needed a root canal and he even said that he can do it by 3pm (someone cancelled their appt). I didn't have time so I had to schedule it the next day. Procedure: I have not felt any discomfort throughout the whole procedure...FOR REAL. I can't even believe it. I was even humming along with the radio in the middle of the procedure Thanks to the anesthesia and really great Doctor! I HIGHLY recommend this place. Everything went so smooth and here I am, enjoying my cup of ice cream while typing this review. I thought I had to take a day off from work after the procedure but NOT AT ALL, it felt like a regular dentist check-up. I just went right to work after the procedure haha! I love this place and the staff. Thank you Dr. Malkami and team, you are all great!!! read more

See all

A MUST READ. If there was an option for 10 Stars hands down I would give it. A 10+ year old Root Canal had become problematic, my local dentist referred me to a local specialist. I live in NorCal and with the busy work schedule I failed to do my own research and did not get to send my x-rays to Dr. Malkami who at various times in the past has treated my family and I and is based out of SoCal (Fullerton, Ca). The referral was 2 minutes from my office and how hard could it be to simply treat an old Root Canal, thought to myself... I cleared my schedule and on July 10th I showed up to the appointment. As I got seated Specialist came in, reviewed the X-Rays and said well before I begin I must tell you, there is a chance we may not be able to save your tooth... I was frustrated that 40 days leading up to this appointment they didn't say one word and now on the 11th hour...I figured I was there hopefully they do their best and can do a good job... I gave the ok to proceed. Drilling started and after 1 hour, she told me I am sorry I can't proceed, we have to pull the tooth and we have to do implant. I asked why, she said well we are trying to redo the canal and unfortunately the drill is not going straight and bunch of other reasons... I was asked to authorize the tooth getting pulled, I said NO I need to think about this. I came out and reached out to Dr. Malkami. As usual he was so kind and always open to help and guide anyway he can. He asked me to send him my x-rays, so I did. He asked if the specialist was using a microscope. I said not that I saw. He said I can refer you to a good Endodontist in your area, long shot but maybe they can save your tooth. I said to be honest I don't even care about the drive, if you can give me an appointment I prefer to come to you. Because of Covid (flight was out of question). He was so kind and gave me an appointment the following Friday (on his day off). I drove down and will never forget this day. A very bright and happy Friday (7/17/20) unlike the Friday before that had turned to be a very dark one. It felt like I was in a magical place. I stepped into their office, everywhere was so clean, such a nice office, and very well equipped with top of the line equipments. They took new X-Rays... Dr. Malkami came in, started cracking few funny jokes, and in less than 30 minutes he fixed what took the other "Specialist" over an hour to almost destroy. It felt like an artist that stepped into his art studio, placed his headphones on and begun his performance and work of art. If it was a painting, I must say it was exotic, if it was a dance performance It was breath taking, whatever it was words will never truly describe this man's talent, love for his work and his patients, his magical hands and sense of humor. He didn't just perform a regular Root Canal, he had to repair the damage, and re-drill new Canals except base was so fragile because of what had happened week prior. I then realized his standard pricing for a regular root canal was even so much more reasonable than what the NorCal "specialist" was charging to destroy my tooth not to mention he didn't even apply his standard pricing due to nature of the relationship . The excitement of being able to save my tooth felt like I was born again. I was and have been SO HAPPY. It's been over 5 months and no issue whatsoever. We waited to order the crown to ensure no issues and I must say no issues, better than ever. Attached is my tooth during the operation, where Dr. Malkami filled the falsely drilled canal by the other person, and re-drilled two new canals nice and proper. Picture was captured through Microscope. As I was walking to use the restroom I realized every single operation room in his office had a very nice newer microscope plus a portable one in rear hall. WOW... Dr. Malkami, from bottom of my heart THANK YOU for everything & wishing you and your beautiful family a great New Year!! Truly words will not describe my gratitude and appreciation. ---- I am editing ending of my review as I posted I read prior review to mine, by Shawn L. Before reading I knew there is no way anyone can have anything negative to say about Dr. Malkami. I continued reading... and sure enough my assumption was right. Shawn L. I am really sorry that you didn't give your girlfriend a chance. I did a 16 hour round trip to have a chance with Dr. Malkami and would do it all over again. I have met his office team, they may have not truly realized what you were requesting or why... Even if you felt office staff was not deeply understanding your req. a simple req. for Dr. Malkami to call you back would have done it. He is so kind, intelligent and understanding. He is a man that cares deeply about everyone's health and well being. I hope in the future if any needs rise you really give your family and loved ones a chance they truly deserve. I hope your girlfriend is doing better. read more

Saman Malkami, DMD - Endodontists Near Me - Fullerton, California

Dr Malkami, his staff Janet and office team are perfection. DR Malkami explained EXACTLY what was wrong with my tooth roots and what was needed. Ive had multiple root canals and was dreading the long process and pain. NOT WITH DR M! He simply numbs the tooth treatment area, not full jaw, his numbing technique is so gentle. He then proceeded with my root canal. IT WAS COMPLETELY PAINLESS. COMPLETELY. And took less then an hour with no pulling , tugginng and having to put my neck in bad positions! I cannot recommend Dr M and his team enough! Go in for a consult and see. His friendly, and makes it actually fun! Ive had two now and need to go back for a redo from a prior dentist. Its easier then a new crown! read more

Excellent service and the quality of the work is top notch! Dr. Malkami and his staff are the best. As a general dentist it's critical that my patients have a good experience at the specialists I refer to and Dr. Malkami takes such good care of all of them. It's amazing how he can make root canals a pleasurable experience. I recently sent my mom for a couple root canals and she too had the best experience. Thank you so much Dr. Malkami and staff! read more

Excellent Doctor I'm terribly nervous going to have any kind of dental work & that particular day was going bad anyway. I was happy that the Doctor & Janet were very kind & talked me thru it. NO pain at all. The front office staff is nice as well. Thank you read more

Dr. Malkami and his assistant, Janet, were so great! The anxiety of my root canal procedure was quickly extinguished and the 40 minute procedure flew by! Amazing staff here :) read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Malkami and his team enough, they are incredibly professional, kind, and efficient. I came to this office after a referral by my dentist for a root canal procedure and I was very nervous. I've always had a hard time at the dentist, usually feeling pain after being numbed, but not here! Dr. Malkami administered the numbing treatments at the beginning of the procedure and i felt no pain for the duration of my treatment. He was telling stories throughout the procedure and it went by very fast, less than an hour. Additionally, his office team was very thorough with following up with me regarding insurance and appointment reminders. Feeling very thankful I had my root canal done here! read more

Out of 3 root canals, this was the BEST experience! I had to get an unexpected root canal two months before my wedding. I was referred to Dr. Malkami. I came in for a consultation appointment and he did an evaluation on my teeth to determine the root canal and took x rays. I then scheduled another appointment for my root canal. Upon arriving to my appointment I filled out some paperwork and was taken back rather quickly. The doctor immediately jumped in to get me numb and was very patient and funny throughout the process since he didn't want me to feel uncomfortable. Luckily I'm used to getting shots in my mouth so I was able to tolerate the pain perfectly fine. While he was performing the root canal on tooth 15 - which is the molar before your wisdom tooth - so it was pretty far back, but I didn't feel uncomfortable. There was one instance where I felt some pain but he was able to put the numbing shot directly into the nerve and it immediately went away. He was so funny throughout the process and was very talkative. The entire process was over in about 25 minutes which is the QUICKEST I've ever had a root canal done! I was so impressed by this. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather have a root canal than a filling! I don't think I can go to any other specialist after receiving this top notch experience! Thank you ag read more

Saman Malkami, DMD - Root canal after is in the right. Amazing job! - Endodontists Near Me - Fullerton, California

The short version: Friendly, Professional, Competent. The slightly longer version: I'm a dentist myself and I was treated by Dr. Malkami for a rather complicated root canal treatment. I found the entire staff, front desk, assistants as well as Dr. Malkami, himself, to be very friendly and welcoming. The treatment itself was performed PAINLESSLY, quickly and correctly and the entire procedure, thanks to Dr. Malkami's friendly and outgoing personality, ended up being a rather pleasant experience ! Many Thanks Ian Rodd, DDS read more

Dr. Saman was absolutely wonderful.. He was kind, reassuring, patient and thoughtful. I strongly recommend him to everyone who needs a root canal. He created a sense of trust which in turn relaxed me. During the whole procedure, I felt reassured that everything would be ok! Thanks to not only his skill but also to all of his staff. Top-notch!!! read more

My girlfriend has asthma, and she needs a root canal ASAP. We've called over 10 endodontists and they all have plug-in fragrances in their offices and they all wear perfume or cologne. THIS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED! We found Dr. Malkami through yelp and we really prayed that he is right endodontist. Dr. Malkami's office was willing to remove the plug-in fragrance but when we asked them to NOT wear cologne, perfume, or deodorant, they hesitated. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND? If a patient has asthma, he/she can get triggered with any fragrance and that's a potential lawsuit! We really wanted to work with Dr. Malkami. We're ready to pay cash and make an appt this week, but they simply dont care about their patient's health. When it comes to patient's health, THERE SHOULD BE NO COMPROMISES. I dont care how good you are. If you're not willing to get rid of your cologne/perfume/deodorant for an asthmatic patient, then you shouldn't even be in the health care service, or any service for that matter! Dr. Malkami might be good based on his 5-stars Yelp reviews. But if his office staff can't accomodate an asthmatic patient, i'm sorry but they're all amateurs to me. AMATEURS! read more

Dr Malkami is a dream. I have anxiety about the dentist and haven't gone for 13 years. He literally put me at ease as he explained in depth what he was doing. He made me feel peaceful. He took his time and asked me how I was doing. He was gentle and informative. He is friendly and kind. I have never had a better dental experience. I'm a teacher and I try my best to make sure students feel welcome. I feel Dr. Malkami used his expertise and calm to make this procedure seem like a trip to Disneyland. He is the best. read more

I was in pain and my dentist suspected it was a cracked tooth and referred me as an emergency to Dr. Malkami. I received a call for a same day appointment that day. I arrived and was greeted and advised my insurance had been contacted/verified and would see the doctor shortly. I had never had a root canal and was thinking the worst... A few quick X-Rays and exam isolated the problematic tooth and he explained the procedure. Dr. Malkami has a great way of keeping me informed about what is happening and making you feel comfortable as he shared stories about his professional experience, joked with Janet and shared about his upcoming trip. The procedure was 45 minutes and SO much easier than I had imagined. I am so grateful to have had such great care and will not spend Christmas in pain read more

When my primary dentist announced I would be needing a root canal, I was curious why he wouldn't take care of it himself. 'I want you to have the best, a specialist'. That's what I got... Dr. Malkami, DMD is Excellent!! First, he stayed late to see me the very next day. He has the kindest 'bed side manner' I have ever experienced with any doctor. He talked me through the entire process, promised no pain and guess what, no pain! He put me at ease during the procedure with personal anecdotes and finished in half the time I expected. He has a warm and friendly professional relationship with his staff, who were also quite welcoming. His large clinic, spotless... If you must have a root canal or need an Endodontist in general, I highly recommend Dr. Malkami for the best experience possible. read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would! Everyone from the front desk, the Endodontist tech and doctor Malkami were WONDERFUL. I have dental anxieties which makes going to dentists and Endodontist a challenging. I had 4 root canals in January/February 2023 and after the first, I had no reservations, fears or trepidations about the following 3. Dr. Malkami was able to identify and fix work a previous Endodontist failed to complete. The entire staff are kind, helpful and calming. The office is clean and professional. I HIGHLY recommend this office if you are in need of this specialized service. read more

My mother & I definitely had a great experience at Dr. Malkami's office. He was very kind and professional in addressing my mother's tooth concern. He was very gentle and in control while doing the root canal. The office is spacious and the staff were very experienced and nice. I will surly go back to do my own root canal with Dr. Malkami and recommend this practice to anyone needing a root canal. read more

I was nervous coming in for my root canal because I've never had it done before and thought it was going to be an uncomfortable appointment. Dr. Malkami and staff makes you feel at ease I was really impressed how fast and painless the procedure was. I would recommend Dr Malkami for anyone who needs their root canal done, he is very knowledgeable and friendly! read more

Saman Malkami, DMD - Endodontists Near Me - Fullerton, California

Dr. Malkami is top notch. Efficient, friendly, and precise. Got a root canal here in the past. Not pleasant but he made it as good as it could have been. Then I had a recent visit because of some pain and he gave me the pro and con of my options. I needed an extraction on #18 and a crown on #3. He explained why he recommended these procedures and showed it to me in the x-rays. Professional and to the point. read more

My root canal was painless. Hands down best dental experience. Very polite staff too!!
