Very smooth process for my root canal. Dr Lee was excellent. He kept me well informed during each step. It was about as low stress as it could get and I've had several other root canals. I highly recommend them.

This one Star is for Dr Lee who treated me inhumanely. The front desk ladies were amazing. They treated me so sweet when I talked to them and let them know I was in serious pain. Dr Lee treated me like a child when I let him know I was in serious pain and told me the X rays showed nothing. When I tried to explain I knew they would show nothing but I knew something was wrong I saw he was waiting to speak (not actually listening). He told me I had mental issues after I let him know his treatment of me was causing me to have anxiety. I just finished my root canal with another Endo office and it turns out my old metal filling was hiding a big cavity! That was causing decay and pain. I had to wait an additional 2 weeks because I have limited insurance. I knew something was wrong but he made me feel horrible and my mental health to decline for a few days. I would recommend him to listen to his patients and have compassion. Thank you again to the ladies. in the front.

So I never leave a review for anything but I gotta say, I was completely wowed yesterday. I HATE dentist visits and have definitely been to some shady places but this was a totally different experience altogether! From the moment I stepped in, the receptionists were attentive and very helpful getting me in. When I made it to the back the atmosphere was very different from any other place I'd been, they were welcoming (in the middle of a pandemic) and very kind. Iris was very knowledgeable and her conversation during the process really helped. At one point I thought she was my dentist until she let me know Dr lee would be coming in shortly. I was surprised by the professionalism. Again I've been to some SHADY spots lol. Dr lee came in and explained the process for a root canal and notified me that we could start on one of the two I needed and schedule to come back for the second. What?! Work done the same day?! Yes!!! Thought I was only coming in for consultation-but why wait any longer right? During my procedure I was the calmest I've ever been with someone over my open mouth lol, I felt NO pain and only a pinch for numbing. I tell you, Dr lee and the staff at endo will have you smiling before you get out of the chair. Iris, Dr Lee and the rest of the staff at Endo root vision THANK YOU!

This place is super clean, modern, staff is nice and professional and most importantly, I had ZERO pain during the root canal procedure. For all folks complaining about insurance, just check with your provider before getting a procedure so you know how much you should pay and if the place is covered or not....it's not rocket science!

Wowwww!!!! I can't express how grateful I am for Dr. Lee. I needed 3 root canals re done that I had that failed about 6 months ago. My quality of life was just ruined because of all the the inflammation and pain in my jaw. He was so kind took his time explained everything to me so I understood what he did. Also I had some pain a few days later because my root canals were very very inflamed so he called me in a steroid and I feel like a whole new person. Thank you Dr. Lee you are a god sent I feel myself getting back to myself thanks to you!!!!
