We have committed to adapting to biologically based procedural and conceptual changes as they occur. Several technologies have made a profound impact on the way modern endodontic treatment is performed. We have invested in and trained in the use of several of these technologies to achieve the highest clinical treatment standards.
Thefee foryour endodontic treatmentwill be based on the extent of treatment. Duringyour first visit we will discuss the probably number of visits, their length, and the fees involved. While we do recognize the unique natureof our practice and the specialized kinds of cases we treat, it is our policy to work with you as much aspossible in order toensure your treatment works for you financially. We will ask for your cooperation in providing all necessary insurance information in order to better educateyou on your financial responsibility. Woo Endodonticswill work with most insurance carriersin order to lessen your initial out-of-pocket expense; however, we do require your estimated patient portion in full at the time your treatmentis completed.

Dr. Woo and his staff are amazing. I was referred to him for a root canal by my dentist. While I was waiting for my appointment I started experiencing agonizing pain so I called Dr. Woo, it happened to be on a Sunday. He returned my call that evening and squeezed me in for an appointment the next day without any hesitation. I was so desperate that I thought about going to some random dentist and I'm definitely glad I didn't have to resort to that. The procedure was honestly a piece of cake. I didn't feel a thing and it was alot quicker than I anticipated. I can't thank them enough!

Had a root canal done today with Michael Huffer and had a great experience. I am 36 weeks pregnant and was very anxious. His assistant was so sweet and calming. I would recommend them to anybody, especially if you have dental anxiety.

I was so nervous and for no reason at all. Dr. Huffer and his assistant were awesome. I was there for an hour and 20 minutes; the entire procedure was totally painless; they repeatedly asked if I was okay; and, so importantly, they always kept me informed about what they were doing and what to expect afterwards. What a great team to have on my side. Thanks so much!!!

Dr. Woo and the rest of the staff are great. I didn't need a root canal at this time, but I would definitely return if I needed one in the future.

Can't express how much I appreciate and respect I have for Dr. Huffer and his assistant today. I was surprised and very happy with the whole experience. No one looks forward to having a root canal, but my apprehension was quickly put at ease though the professionalism of the entire team. Thanks!

Dr. Woo and his staff create such a friendly and welcoming environment the second you walk into this office. They were able to walk me through my procedure and answer any questions that arose during it, even if I was mumbling to them. I can absolutely guarantee you will have as much of a pleasant experience as possible with this fantastic team!
