My dentist sent me to Dr. Sedaghat for an emergency root canal. They were able to get me in the same day and I am so grateful! Root canals sound scary (and they are) but this is the only Dr. to see if you ever need one! They were very gentle and caring and my tooth felt 100% better the same day. I only had to take Advil the day of and didn't need anything the next day! Such a great office and everyone was so nice and helpful! I Highly recommend!

Dr. Sedaghat and his team are truly the best!!! Everyone there is professional, caring and friendly. I am super relieved that I found Dr. Sedaghat to perform my root canal treatment. My case was more complicated but he was gentle throughout the process so it was pain-free. He clearly knows what he is doing and he takes the time to make sure everything is good. I also appreciate that they honor reservation time so there is never a wait for me. Highly recommend!!!

Dr. Sedaghat is the best in the business. He took care of a complicated dental matter, that most dentists dont have the expertise for, flawlessly and quickly. He also came in on his time off, just to take care of me
