We had literally no pain from the second day onwards, and only a mild sensation of discomfort on the day of the procedure, a pain that was easily quelled by a single dose of Tylenol.

We highly recommend using his professional services.

But it ended up being the most relaxing dental treatment I've ever had! Dr. Kamarath was my doctor, and she is beyond amazing. She explained my situation and procedure in a way I could understand, which put me at ease immediately. Her assistant was excellent as well. You can tell they both genuinely care about making patients feel comfortable. During the procedure, Dr. Kamarath explained each step, letting me know what she was doing and what stage we were at, so I never had to wonder how much time was left. The whole thing felt surprisingly short! I also noticed the mutual respect between Dr. Kamarath and her assistant in their conversations, which I think contributed to the calming atmosphere. That evening, Dr. Kamarath even gave me a follow-up call, which I truly appreciated. To my surprise, I didn't experience any pain after the treatment, and my tooth felt completely back to normal in no time. Now I just wish I could see Dr. Kamarath for everything! May South Coast Endodontics continue to thrive!

The staff here is professional and I would recommend Dr. Lewis without reservation! Additionally, the Office is easy to find just off of I-8 and the parking was adequate & free!

I was able to fill in new patient forms online prior to coming in. Located in a shared medical office building, the waiting and reception area is small but so clean and beautifully decorated. Most importantly, Dr. Oswald was so friendly and explains every step, making sure I know what is happening and that I am at ease. When I mentioned that I have previously been treated by another more established endodontist in the area, Dr. Oswald spoke highly of the other Dr. the only painful part of the procedure was when the anesthesia was being injected around the tooth, and that is unavoidable. The root canal itself was painless and quick. I did not even have any pain later that afternoon when the anesthesia wore off. Additionally, I had mentioned another area that my dentist had pointed out, involving a previous root canal. He took the time to take and xray and give some advice, totally appreciated.

My initial experience left me frustrated, and I had given a negative review. However, after…read morereceiving a personal call from Dr. Lim, I've changed my perspective. His treatment itself was excellent, and I truly appreciate the care I received. Unfortunately, the billing process was disappointing. During my root canal removal, I was told by the staff that the consultation fee would be covered by my insurance. I paid the remaining amount--over a thousand dollars--and thought everything was settled. A few weeks later, I received a call from the office stating that I now owed the consultation fee, which was frustrating since I was previously told it would be covered. I was later informed that the issue stemmed from an incorrect billing code being submitted. Understandably, this left me feeling uneasy. What changed everything was a call I received today from Dr. Lim himself. He apologized sincerely for the confusion and explained that he is working to improve the system to avoid these kinds of issues in the future. His call showed me that he genuinely cares about his patients and their experience--not just medically, but holistically. Because of that conversation, I now feel confident recommending Dr. Lim. He is a skilled provider who takes responsibility and makes the effort to improve. That level of care matters.

When I arrived, the dental assistant was very kind and helped me feel comfortable before the procedure. I believe my doctor was Dr. Sato, and he was fantastic. He took the time to explain everything clearly before starting, and even while performing the root canal, he let me know what he was doing step by step. That made a huge difference in easing my nerves. The whole experience was smooth, professional, and surprisingly comfortable for a root canal. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sato and the team at Ocean MicroEndodontics to anyone needing endodontic care!

Shout out to my general dentist for sending me here. The staff was professional (from intake phone call to checking in/x-rays/checking out). Dr. Howell was thoughtful, clear, and honest in her assessment; she gave me all my options. We decided on the root canal route, which scared me - but that fear quickly dissipated in the first few minutes of the procedure once I saw how confident and skillful she was. If you have an Endo issue, look no further. (Here's a tip if you are able to afford it: if given the option to do the mouth scan rather than just x-rays, pay the extra $$ out of pocket because it made the visit a lot quicker than expected because she was able to see the issue in 3D, and it was easier to understand the problem and possible solutions.)
