Dr. Melamed is amazing! Thorough and informative, with an excellent bedside manner. I was able to get my root canal same-day. She did an amazing job with the local block & I felt no discomfort. Thanks so much! Highly recommended!

The Office is very clean and Stylish, the staff was so friendly, I literally only waited about 5 mins in waiting room before I was seen and the Doctor was awesome. Dr. Tawady talked to me about my concerns and made sure i was comfortable and understood everything that was happening, he went over my x-rays with me and gave me instructions on what to do next. This was the Best Dental Experience I had in my life.

This whole review is about the clinic and not skills of doctors 1- they are very expensive. It is very disappointing that if you pay cash you would end up paying more than you would if you had insurance 2- people in front desk are rude. At check out time they become nice. 3- feels like the clinic is so thirsty to get money

I had Dr. Reece for my Endodontist and Kendra for my hygienist. I could not have had a better experience. They both genuinely listened to everything I had to say. I am hard to numb and they worked very hard yo make sure I was numb before starting. Dr. Reece Aldo explained what she was doing every step of the way and even followed up by showing me the work that was done. I couldn't recommend this office more highly.

I went in for a Root Canal and really dislike going to the dentist (like most!), however, this office couldn't have made it any easier!~ From Karen at the front esk to Dr. Judy and her Asst (wish I knew her name!!). The relationship between Dr. Judy & her Assistant was seemless. They worked so well together and I was done in no time. I highly recommend this office/doctor if you need any Endodontic work done!

Dr.Melamed is amazing! I was a bit nervous going in for my first root canal. She explained the procedure in detail before starting any work and immediately eased my worries. Throughout the entire procedure she would take the time to check if I was okay. It took less than an hour and I did not feel any pain. Her wonderful assistant was also very sweet. Later that evening I received a call from Dr.Melamed to see how I was feeling, I have never had a doctor do that before. I`m pain free and would recommend Dr.Melamed to anyone in need of a root canal!

I was referred to EP by my dentist for a root canal. They were able to squeeze me in late in the afternoon and I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Tawady. This was the smoothest invasive dental procedure I've ever had. If I ever need an Endodontic specialist again, this is where I'm going.

I love how fast and efficient this office is. The doctor was really professional and friendly. He did a great job with my root canal. And the front desk girl, Emily, she was helpful, professional and super fast. If I could give more stars, I would!

I went in, terrified because I had to have a root canal on a tooth with a 20-year old crown. My tooth was infected, and all I could think about was that I was going to be in a LOT of pain for quite a while. Then I met Karen, the face of the place that day. She is smiley, funny, and I immediately felt at ease. Then came Kendra, Dr. Tawady's assistant. Kind, friendly and good at her work. I can't thank my dentist enough for recommending Dr. Tawady for my crazy 4-canal root canal through a 20 year old crown. I felt no pain during the entire procedure, and in fact I recovered super quickly. And Dr. Tawady called me the evening of my procedure to see how I was doing. Thanks to him, I'm doing really well!!

Tawady is a tooth saving from the heavens! He was very knowledgeable, kind, explained everything. He retreated a tooth that had been done by a different dentist and referred me to a dentist. If you need a root canal THIS is the place to go. You will be in good hands !

Dr. Tawady is amazing! I needed a root canal on one of my front teeth that ended up being more complicated than it seemed initially. Dr. Tawady did a great job with the root canal and internal bleaching-- I'm very happy with the results! He was also very easy to reach and took the time to answer all of my questions.

Dr Judy did a great job, I felt like a new person when she was done. Her assistant and her operated like a well oil machine. Thanks for taking me at the last minute.

I was in so much pain from a cracked tooth. They were so wonderful to fit me in the same day I called. While I cannot say the debridement was pain free, as soon as Dr. Melamed was finished, I felt no more pain. Dr. Melamed was completely honest about not being able to do a root canal. The tooth was not savable. Thank you again for the wonderful service.

Dr. Judy talked me through my anxiety about getting a route canal and she kept me informed on the progress of the procedure. I went home and didn't experience any pain. I waited an extra week because I wanted Dr. Judy to do the procedure; she was worth the wait!
