The mission of Compassion Endodontics is to compassionately care for those who are suffering with dental disease and pain. We believe everyone is worthy of compassion. Not only do we want to care for the people that come into our office, but also the community of Reading at large. Therefore, to show compassion to the community, we are partnering with Hope Rescue Mission.
Hope Rescue Mission has been in Reading for over 125 year as a refuge for men struggling with addiction, homelessness and unemployment. Their goal is to shine a light into the lives of those experiencing dark times. They do this by not only providing for physical needs, but for caring for the whole person- spirit, soul and body. They do this with the utmost respect and compassion.
Because Compassion Endodontics and Hope Rescue Mission share the same values, Compassion Endodontics has pledged that for every root canal performed, a man experiencing homelessness is sheltered overnight and fed three meals in an Emergency Shelter Program.
While designing our state-of-the-art office, we carefully chose every piece of equipment with our patients in mind. When a patient comes to Compassion Endodontics, one will receive high quality, evidence-based endodontic speciality care using modern technology that is clear to see.
To us, treating patients with compassion starts as soon as they walk in. The office was designed to help patients feel at ease. We offer a Comfort Menu with a list of amenities that every patient can choose from the list includes: pillows, plush blankets, a visit with our Therapy Dog, music choices, and organic lip balm.

My 12 year old daughter recently received dental care from Dr. Graham and the Compassion Endodontics team. They were very quick to see my daughter after she experienced trauma to her mouth. She needed a root canal in addition to having a tooth bonded back on and Dr Graham did an excellent job. The staff was extremely friendly and made my daughter along with myself very comfortable during the office visit. We also had the chance to spend time with Eddie, a service dog, who was visiting the office while we were there. I would highly recommend the Compassion Endodontics office to anyone in need of that type of dental care.

Fantastic!! After 2 failed attempts at another office to do a root canal, I called Compassion Endodontics. They got me right in. I knew I made the right choice the moment they answered the phone with a pleasant and understanding attitude. The office is beautiful, clean and cozy. I was dealing with a broken tooth, fighting vertigo and I have an extremely bad gag reflex. Toss in 10 years in the military with PTSD from combat and I'm not your average customer. Their calmness and expertise made the experience tolerable. I would say enjoyable but it was still a root canal after all. They made me feel so relaxed I almost fell asleep more than once. Their professionalism ranks above all others.

I can not believe the experience I had at Compassion Endodontics. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The last time I had a root canal I cried through the entire procedure! It was horrible! But with Dr. Thomas Graham it was amazing! I did not feel a thing! If you need a root canal (god bless you) - GO to Compassion Endodontics! Request Dr. Thomas Graham!! Very understanding and like the name Compassionate! Thank you Dr. Graham!

This place is excellent. If I could select 6 stars I would. Dr. Graham did an excellent job on two of my molars. He is great at explaining what he is doing and does a very thorough job. The rest of the staff are very warm and welcoming as well. Can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Dr. Graham and your team.

The team at COMPASSION Endodontics is top-notch. They are highly skilled, professional, genuinely kind and care about getting procedures done correctly! My experience left me simply humbled with gratitude. The team got me in and they extended their hours just for me. They put me first. Insurance is a tricky thing and they used all their powers to help me. This is truly an amazing practice. Truly a blessing to have Dr. Shuttleworth recommend Compassion! Dr. Graham is amazing and so is his assistants and front desk.

My 14-year-old son needed root canal. This practice was quick with their responsiveness and scheduling. They were polite and friendly every step of the way. They returned my calls less than 5 minutes after leaving messages. And the best part: Walking out of their office the day of the root canal, my son said, "Is it weird if I say that was fun?" Kudos to this practice for making root canal a "fun experience!"

Compassion endodontist deserves 10 stars. I have had problems with dentist all my life and this is my first root Canal and it was a better experience than In the past when I had tooth fillings. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to get a root canal and is against the fence on where to go because of fear. Do not be scared Dr. Thomas Graham is the best he really takes good care of you and assures that you have no pain. The office is very clean and very updated and they have the latest equipment.

I went here twice for my root canal and can say it was a great experience! This was my first root canal and I truly didn't have any pain other than the initial Novocain injection which was minimal. You'll be in great hands!

My dentist, Dan Malloy, recently discovered that my tooth was compromised ... and that it required a root canal. He recommended that I schedule an appointment with Compassion Endodontics to have the work done. This would be my first root canal and I did not know what to expect ... except, that other people that I knew had less than positive experiences (they hated going) with other providers and that over time, their problems seemed to only get worse. My concerns were completely unfounded. I had an INCREDIBLE experience. Perhaps, I lucked out, but I doubt that. Dr Jamie Kang, her assistant Jill, even Karen who greeted me and completed the paperwork were nothing but EXCEPTIONAL. The facility is bright, pleasant and immaculate. The staff is obviously well trained, qualified and caring about the patient's experience. I was greeted with a smile and helpful attitude. My appointment was on time, matter of fact ... they took me early. Jill and Dr Kang explained the procedure and what to expect and answered all of my questions. The equipment that they used was state of the art, the lighting and background music made me feel like I was at a spa, everything leading up to the procedure was calming and perfect. Dr Kang suggested that I close my eyes and imagine I was on an island. And, I could have been. Absolutely no pain or discomfort, quick (around an hour), precise (they took x-rays throughout), attentive to detail (uncovered that the nerve had a branch to complicate the procedure) ... and completely pain-free (matter of fact, I dozed off a number of times). The next day, Karen even called me to see how I was doing. (I did not even have to take a single aspirin). Thank you, Jamie, Jill and Karen. Because of you, I can use "Root Canal", "Pleasant", "Relaxing", "Great Experience" ... all in the same sentence!!! My only hope, and nothing against them, is that this was my first and last root canal. Best wishes and continued success to all, Craig Knabb.

May 25, 2022: I need to schedule a root canal operation. May 25, 2022: Walks out of office having had a root canal operation...an hour later. I never thought that would ever happen that fast. I'm going to be handsome again ahead of schedule. 10/10 Would get novacained again. 10/10 Very good office music to listen to while getting drilled. Thank you, Dr. Graham and Staff. *The reviews you see below me are legit. Read any one. I made my choice. Compassion Endodontics is the real deal.

My 8 year old son required a root canal which our family dentist could not preform. I contacted Compassion Endodontics and they were able to get us in quickly and fix up his tooth! The hygienist was amazing with my son. The dentist made him feel comfortable. There was minimal pain and minimal swelling! I would recommend their services to anyone in need!
