My son had an appointment with Dr. Joshi. I was nervous because I didn't know what the root canal procedure entailed. From the receptionist to friendly smiles I was at ease and best thing is that my son had no issues and was just as satisfied. Thank you all!

I throughly enjoyed my experience. No one volunteers to have oral surgery, but if need be, this is the place! The staff was very friendly and the facility was completely clean.

Had my first root canal today with Dr. Ego-Osuala. I will admit that I was scared, however he and his staff were amazing at alleviating my fears, the procedure was relatively painless and I would recommend them for all your endodontic needs. They are caring, compassionate & provide exemplary care! Thanks so much for taking such great care of me!

I love them! They were great! I'm 6 months pregnant, came in for two root canals and they made sure I was comfortable and didn't need anything.
