It's weird to say that "I loved my root canal experience! ", however, it's absolutely true. The…read morestaff is intimate with each and every client. At least that was my experience. Mary, the friendly receptionist, was delightful, thoughtful, and truly concerned about my well-being. Alex, the quiet assistant, was dutiful and ready to go at all times, on point and on mission. And Dr. Sadek, thoroughly the kindest and most masterful root canal doctor in the area. He shared with me that he earned his stripes through tending, literally thousands of marines in their base in Palm Springs. I'm so happy that our troops had the opportunity to be served by such an excellent person, excellent doctor, and so caring! To get a root canal is not a choice. You either need one or you do not. Choosing the right doctor, however, is an important choice. Dr. Sadek was thorough and kind throughout the whole process. He uses state of the art technology, including the smallest and most nimble microscope. Using his numbing needles and his tools, he performed a two hour root canal top to bottom on me. I slept during the process... I felt no pain, and trusted his steady hands. I couldn't be any happier with the entire experience. Thank you, Dr. Sadek, Mary and Alex!

I had such a great experience at Los Alamitos Endodontics! I went in for a root canal retreatment…read moreand was honestly very nervous. I am a BIG baby when it comes to dental work, but I can truly say I felt absolutely nothing during the procedure. Dr. Livingood was incredibly patient, gentle, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire treatment. Mayda was just as wonderful--so kind, attentive, and reassuring. They both made what I expected to be a stressful experience surprisingly easy and comfortable. If you are nervous or anxious about having a root canal (or one redone), I highly recommend Dr. Livingood and his team. I never thought I would describe a root canal retreatment as a great experience, but it truly was. Thank you Dr. Livingood and Mayda for taking such great care of me!

I took my daughter for a consultation to Dr. Fadavi in her Tustin location…read more After she was having pain when she bites down. The regular dentist advice to seek consultation with an edodontist. She was afraid and did not want to go . And of course possibly knowing she needs a root canal my daughter is 11 years old so I had to prepare her for the visit hoping she doesn't freak out . But after we arrived we were greeted by Rebecca she was welcoming, made her feel less afraid . We met Dr. Fadavi after a few X-rays she spoke to my daughter as if she knew her and explain what would treatment consist of. We came back for treatment another day . Treatment day she was afraid, but dr. Fadavi made her feel so comfortable and her staff . Treatment went by so fast she was surprised she had no pain and was the easiest dental work ever . We waited to write this review after a few months have past to see how she would recover and every week was better and better . My daughter mention no pain, she can use her tooth normal like any other . And she remembers dr and ask if we can return for other dental work to her again. Office was clean , elegant and welcoming . Would recommend this specialist.

First time having to get a root canal…read more Front office staff was helpful and very informative throughout the entire process. All of my paperwork / insurance questions were answered in a clear concise manner by Rebecca who was excellent. Dr. Fadavi was just as good. She explained the procedure in detail and answered every question I had. I never felt like I was being "rushed" in and out. Follow up visits were just as professional as the original visit. I was definitely put at ease due to the consult by Dr. Fadavi and her wonderful staff. Highly recommended.

A million percent YES! 100/100!!!!!!!!…read more Dr. Michael Zell is INCREDIBLE! He's honest, professional, and refreshingly genuine. I never thought I'd have this great of an experience at the dentist! He listened, he cared about my story, and was so understanding. Cathy the hygienist was so gentle! First time I enjoyed a cleaning They're upfront about cost, zero pressure, zero sales pitch, just transparent about what's needed versus what's not necessary. I'VE FOUND MY DENTIST FINALLY!

This has been my office of choice, but now I have to say... that I took my business elsewhere…read more First, I had a simple cleaning appointment. I usually stick with the same Hygienist for this, as I am a creature of habit. Second, my actual Dentist always takes a look after my cleaning is done so that he can let me know if there is anything that popped up while I am there that might need attention. This is good. Now... my last two cleaning sessions literally broke my heart. The ladies at the desk have ALWAYS been very kind to me, but on these last two occasions, it was as if... I don't know... something PERSONAL was happening with me. First, she all but snapped at me when I walked up to the desk, and then DEMANDED that I "pay first"... like they used to do to Denny's patrons back in the day (which REALLY made me uncomfortable) so, according to her, "...we can all get OUT of there and go home!". Then, my usual Hygienist was not available, and I wish they had told me this beforehand, and some other... person... did the cleaning, to the point that I can honestly say that she was DEFINITELY UNHAPPY with me!! I didn't know that a simple cleaning can HURT so badly!!! At any rate, I don't know what it was that I did wrong, or who I made angry enough to deserve this treatment, but I can take a hint. No more PAIN, please. I am sorry for whatever it was that I did wrong. I have never been treated like this, not even in the U.S. ARMY. :-(

I had a really great experience with Dr. Safa and Nurse Ruth. I was extremely nervous going in for…read moremy root canal, but they both made me feel so comfortable and reassured. Dr. Safa suggested that I try doing it without nitrous because he thought I would be completely fine without it. I decided to trust him, and he was right! I didn't need the nitrous at all, and the whole procedure was so much easier than I had built it up to be in my head. Dr. Safa was gentle, patient, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Ruth was also so kind and reassuring, which really helped calm my nerves. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience, especially for something I was so nervous about. I would definitely recommend Dr. Safa and Ruth, especially if you have dental anxiety. Thank you both for taking such great care of me!

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Julian Gabbay. Like many people, I have a lot of dental…read moreanxiety, and the thought of needing a root canal had me extremely nervous. From the moment I walked in, Dr. Gabbay and his team made me feel comfortable, listened to my concerns, and never made me feel rushed. Dr. Gabbay was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate throughout the entire procedure. He took the time to explain everything he was doing, answered all of my questions, and constantly made sure I was doing okay. His calm demeanor and genuine care immediately put me at ease. The procedure itself was smooth, comfortable, and far easier than I ever expected. What I thought would be one of my worst dental experiences turned out to be one of my best because of Dr. Gabbay's skill and professionalism. If you have any fear or anxiety about dental work, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gabbay. Finding a doctor who combines exceptional expertise with such compassion is rare, and I'm incredibly grateful I was referred to him. Thank you, Dr. Gabbay, for making what I feared most into such a positive experience. I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone needing a root canal or endodontic treatment. Five stars all the way!

Dear Patients, Caution!! Please do not go to Dr. Farnoush…read moreFadavi. She is a liar, a scammer and she will break promises once she takes your money. She displays high anxiety and is trying to raise two children but has demonstrated that she has family issues and is unable to run a professional office. Many insurance companies have caught Dr. Farnoush lying along with her husband that works in her office as well. She will try to make you feel guilty if she proceeds she as unknowable and will demonstrate arrogance, just to make herself seem like she knows her skills, while she is not equipped to be in the field that she is in. She displays stress and anxiety because she also has a lack of employees because she is not willing to pay for decent help for the sake of her patients. Stay far away from her. As I will state she is a wonderful manipulator. Please read other negative reviews about her as well. All the negative reviews are honest, and she will lie about any negative review about her self. Again CAUTION!! STAY AWAY FROM Dr. Farnoush Fadavi.
