I was pretty nervous about having a particular procedure. Dr. Ames and his staff went out of their way to make me feel at ease and understand all the steps involved. The procedure would have taken my regular dentist an hour and Dr. Ames finished it in 12 minutes. They are highly specialized and professional.

Had a terribly unbearable toothache... Dr. Selem and Crysta got me taken care of with a pain free root canal. It was very expedient, and I am so thankful not to be experiencing the pain now.

Not that you ever WANT a root canal, but when you find yourself needing one this is the place to go. Dr. Lisa Selem explained everything and had a great focus on the patient. She made sure I was as comfortable as possible every step of the way. If I need any other endodontist work, I will be back for sure!

I was so pleased with my experience here! No one wants a root canal and I was very nervous. Dr. Ames and Shelia were very reassuring and worked quickly. I had no pain whatsoever and would not hesitate to use them again!

I know it's hard to believe but these folks had top notch service from beginning to end. The lady who answers the phone is absolutely adorable. She is about as sweet as they come. The dental assistant was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. The endodontist was very friendly and gentle. Even the lady that I made my payment to upon checkout was wonderful. The entire team was just so friendly! I felt they were very fast and efficient as well. Never had a root canal done that quickly. All in all a wonderful experience. Wish I could go to them for all my regular dental needs.

I was treated very nicely, and everyone was very comforting and reassuring, which made me feel confident. Thier skill level seemed top notch. The charges were printed out for me in a clear itemized statement that is easy to understand. The root canal was painless, and fast, yet not rushed at all. I felt like they genuinely cared about quality results. I would gladly go back to them if needed. The office and waiting room was very clean and comfortable. They have headphones, if you wish to tune out any sounds with TV. Very professional .

I was in and out within an hour. They made sure I was well taken care of. I felt like I was at the nicest air bnb then a dentist. Yami and Dr. Garabadian were the best and I'm sure everyone there is just as nice but I'd always want to be seen by them if I was ever given the choice.
