First the appointment itself was 35 minutes late where I was asked to wait which I'm fine with. Then I was put on anesthesia while he went out to probably get lunch for almost 25 min. It's never a good practice to leave a patient on anesthesia for that long. Then it got really painful during operation I felt like I was almost passing out since the anesthesia had worn off. Receptionist was rude as well. I asked for a cost breakdown and she was almost yelling at me, she didn't even bother to acknowledge me when I walk in. You'd probably expect them to act nice given they let me wait for 35 min almost, but it never was the case.

Dr. Shaikhly was amazing!! I came in for a root canal & he explained everything so well! My husband also came with me & got to witness the whole procedure. The Dr. made sure that my wife was properly numbed and had no feeling on the tooth during the procedure.

Came in for a root canal, I am so pleased. I felt absolutely no pain or discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Shaikhly's "chair"-side manner was great. Both him and Melissa ensured that I was comfortable and informed about my procedure. Root canals always sound scary but that's only a myth when you get them done here. Affordable too!

Very friendly and welcoming office to visit. I get anxiety when I visit the dentist. But the doctor was amazing and his nurse. They both made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Didn't feel any pain or discomfort during my procedure. I'm so glad I went and saved my tooth instead of waiting and putting it off. Thanks again !!!!

I was worried because of stories I had heard from other people with bad experiences when getting a root canal at other locations. I am happy to say my experience at Essential Orthodontics went very well. Dr Shaikly and his assistants were very thurough and professional. They explained everything beforehand and answered all my questions. They were very professional. The severe discomfort I was expecting never happened. The whole experience was comparable to getting a cavity filled. I hope to never need another root canal but if I do I will be going to Essential Orthodontics. Sincerely, Stan

I've been told horror stories about root canals being very unpleasant, physically and financially, but this place was painless on both. Staff made me feel comfortable and at ease. The dentist did excellent work. He did 3 root canals in one day to avoid multiple visits that require time off and numbing. I walked out with a little more confidence because of my smile

Dr. Shaikhly is the absolute best! I was in such pain when I made my appointment and he was able to see me right away. He is so gentle, professional and thorough and did an excellent job explaining my diagnosis and treatment plan. I had to have a root canal. If I ever have to have another I would only want him to perform the procedure. His team is caring and made me feel very comfortable through the entire process, from scheduling my appointment to my post-op discharge. They have state-of- the-art equipment which made it very easy to see and understand where the problem was on the images. He performed the procedure quickly and with no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Shaikhly and his team!

Dr. Shaikhly is absolutely amazing! I had to get treatment on a failed root canal by my previous dentist. I have SEVERE dentist anxiety and I have never felt more comfortable with a dental procedure! Dr. Shaikhly kept asking me if I was ok and he made sure I was never nervous or uncomfortable. This is the very first dental procedure I have had where I experienced ZERO pain. His assistant, Callie, was so pleasant as well and made me feel super comfortable. I recommend this office 100%! Truly nice and professional people that know what they are doing!
