My first root canal was easy breezy, even though I'm terrified of nearly all dental procedures. Office staff and Dr. Amin answered all my questions and alleviated my fear and anxiety. I wish I hadn't put it off so long. read more

if your coworker asked you "what'd you do for lunch today?" you might say "i grabbed some tacos at torchy's". others might say "i checked out the shoe sale at DSW". i would say "i had a root canal". and i'd say it with a big (if lopsided) smile on my face. yes, i had a root canal - in at noon and out by 1. yes, i had a root canal - no discomfort (much less pain) before, during, or after. yes, i had a root canal and I DIDN'T MIND IT ONE BIT. yes, yes, yes. Dr. Amin is the man. he is the one making allllll of the other doctors out there who do root canals look bad. he is kind; he is skilled; he is mellow; he explains everything gently and thoroughly; he answers all of your questions without making you feel rushed. i would have to say that my root canal was a thoroughly enjoyable experience (for what it was). yeah i used "root canal" and "enjoyable" in the same sentence just then. staff was professional, friendly, and attentive. office is modern and high tech. anesthetics are doled out in the manner and quantity needed by the patient. and you get to listen to your fave pandora station, or watch netflix on the in-ceiling monitor while he is in there doing his magic. of course the standard, almost required, parting valediction when leaving a root canal is along the lines of "thanks - but i hope i never have to see you again" (although all garbled and drooly) - and i probably uttered those very words. but i kind of secretly hope i need another root canal some day! highly recommended. thanks dr. amin and staff! read more

I wish Dr. Amin could be my dentist for everything. He and his staff are wonderful. I had two root canals in one morning and it was actually a great experience. Pain-free, fast, and perfect. I watched Downton Abbey while they worked! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Amin, Kimberly, and Erica. Absolutely the best! I'd like to add that I had an old root canal on a front tooth that was really discolored. Dr. Amin knew exactly how to improve that--and I walked out with a pretty, white tooth! Best thing EVER! read more

Phoenix's loss is Austin's gain, and I fear I'll never have a fast, comfortable, worry-free root canal again. I'd had a few root canals before being referred to Dr. Amin, and those experiences weren't bad, but none was as good as my (and later my partner's, too) experience with Dr. Amin, who has a great personality and the latest technology, is genuinely caring, and posses truly awesome skill. Honestly, if we need root canals again, I think we'll travel to Austin; Dr. Amin is that good. read more

Quick, Easy, Painless root canal treatment - what else does one want. A little expensive as compared to getting root canal done from a regular dentist mainly coz this guy is a specialist. You pay little extra - and you get top class treatment. Dr. Amin is very approachable; he calls back to check on you post treatment. The office is nice; theres a TV you can watch to keep you distracted while the doctor is working on your teeth. Overall a good experience. Definitely recommend. read more

I was recommended to Dr. Amin by my dentist when I found out I need a root canal. I was pretty nervous, but it was definitely one of the easiest, quickest, and best procedures I've ever had done! I arrived at the office for my 3:30 appointment, and was out of there by 4:30! The root canal was absolutely painless (worst part was my drool everywhere!). They give you the option to watch Netflix or listen to Pandora while you're getting stuff done, so I was enjoying a movie while getting my teeth fixed! Not only was Dr. Amin great, but all the other staff I interacted with (receptionist, dental assistant) were amazing as well! read more

My dentist referred me to Dr. Amin without hesitation after he decided that a root canal was necessary. He's easily accessible off of MoPac, and there's ample parking in a surface lot. The office is very well kept and, for lack of a better term, modern. Rather than filling out paperwork, you're directed to a monitor and keyboard that are hanging on a wall where information can be entered, though the option of traditional paperwork is always available. Bottled water, tea, and coffee are provided in the waiting room, and Pixie was as accommodating as Dr. Amin was personable. This is important, as most practitioners with similar credentials and acclaim tend to be, I've found, on a different level and somewhat intense. Dr. Amin was genuinely positive and quietly confident. This can go a long way if a patient is unsure or worried. The practice is small in size (3 employees), which is exactly what you want in a specialist. The procedure itself was extremely fast and painless. As others have stated, a screen is mounted on the ceiling and you've got the options of Netflix, etc. The medical technology was top of the line, including incredibly fast imaging pre- and post-procedure. The most important thing I want to stress is the lack of pain, both during and after the root canal. Your jaw will end up being the most sore area, and this is simply from holding your mouth open for nearly an hour. A day later and I feel absolutely nothing unless I'm eating, in which case I feel slight soreness that's by no means uncomfortable. Dr. Amin provides pain medication if necessary, but I haven't had to take anything past the 800mg of Ibuprofen I was given. The phone call I received later that evening was the icing on the cake. I wasn't able to answer but Dr. Amin left a short message checking up on me. As someone who's had to put on a fake face when dealing with customers, it's always refreshing to sense that someone actually gives a crap. A followup call is usually indicative of a person that takes great pride in their work. Ever had a shoddy mechanic call you the next day to see how your car is running? The price reflects the service, and the lack of discomfort is absolutely worth it. read more

There were a few doctors in my network, but thanks to you fellow yelpers, I found Dr. Amin. Front office (Erika) is very friendly and patient with me switching appointments that worked for me. She answered all of my questions regarding fees, coverages, and even accommodated my 6-year old daughter who had to tag along on day of appointment. Easy paperless forms to complete so you just show up on the day of treatment. Very nice office with complimentary coffee and water. Dr Amin and Makayla (sp?) were very pleasant and put me at ease, explaining everything every step of the way. You can watch a movie or listen to music to distract you during the procedure. Definitely not what I expected out of a root canal. Most importantly, I did not feel any pain! It's the day after and no discomfort that ibuprofen can't fix. TIP: Although google maps will tell you otherwise, there is no entrance to the Bank of America building off of Research. You have to enter through Northland Drive. read more

Dr. Amin is the best!!!! I had two root canals done in one sitting. I didn't feel a thing. The staff is so friendly & sweet. He does so much to ease your anxiety and also keep you as comfortable as possible. The atmosphere is great from having scented nitrous masks to playing your favorite music to drown out the awful sounds of dental tools. I never thought getting dental work could be this easy going and painless. Thank you Dr. Amin for getting me back in tip top condition!!!! ;) read more

I had an A+ experience at Dr. Amin's office! The reception staff was attentive and helpful and got my insurance figured out before I even arrived. I was also able to schedule an appointment quickly and easily that fit with my hectic work schedule. Dr. Amin is friendly and knowledgable with a pleasant sense of humor. When he examined my previous root canal that I had done somewhere else, he saw a small problem developing that could later turn into a big problem so we got it fixed up and set straight in just 30 minutes. He also bleached my root canal-ed front tooth and it looks as good as new. I'm thankful for the help they provided me and would definitely recommend a visit to Dr. Amin for any endodontic needs. read more

I ended up at Dr. Amin's office purely by accident -- I needed emergency root canal treatment and he had availability that day. It turned out to be a vert fortuitous accident! His staff is exceptionally friendly and professional, and Dr. Amin himself is as nice as can be. He was efficient, thorough and did a fantastic job. I was especially pleased that he called the next day to check on me. There's not really much more that needs to be said -- I recommend him very highly. He has a great location in the Bank of America building at 2222 and Mopac, with plenty of parking and easy access from anywhere in central Austin. read more

After skipping my last few 6 month dental checkups (lesson learned: never again) I discovered that a deep cavity required me to have a root canal in one of my molars. I've only had a few simple fillings in my life and was VERY nervous to have any serious work done. I had the root canal this past Monday, and was in and out of the office in under 45 minutes. The root canal was completely painless and you even have the option to listen to Pandora while all of the drilling is happening. Everyone in the office was so sweet and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Dr. Amin & team to anyone needing treatment! read more

I don't write reviews generally and...I wanted to thank Dr. Amin and his wonderful staff for their making my root canal a pleasant experience! Every single employee I encountered gets a 5 star rating and Dr. Amin himself is not only a highly qualified Harvard-educated Dr. but also a kind and caring person. Thank you all! read more

In and out. He was very careful and professional. Mindful of my dental fear and made sure to tell me everything that was going on, checking in on my comfort levels frequently. If I ever need another root canal(knock on wood) I will certainly be calling Dr Amin. I don't know how he did it so quickly. read more

Not so great office staff. The dentists didn't do a bad job though.

Dr Amin and his staff were amazing! I had some questions about medications I was taking pre-procedure, and Dr Amin called me personally to answer. I felt like he cared about my situation and truly wanted to make sure I was comfortable with everything ahead of time. My root canal was quick and easy. How many people do you know that would say that about a root canal??! I'm so thankful for the entire office's kindness, professionalism, and such high quality work. I can't say enough about how great experience was! read more

A big thanks to Dr. Amin and his Staff for getting rid of my tooth pain (and to my general dentist, Brian Tucker for the referral). If you require a root canal, be sure to choose a dedicated professional like Dr. Amin. I am grateful to have access to such high-quality dental care here in Austin. read more

Fantastic practice! Dr. Amin treated my daughter for a root canal. Everyone from the receptionist to the nurse to a humble, exact, professional in Dr. Amin was a wonderful experience. read more

I've had several root canals and must say Dr. Amin DMD is the best. A dentist referred me to him and told me my crown would have to be destroyed and replaced. Dr. Amin drilled a hole in the crown and performed the root canals through the hole! I will go to a DDS to have the hole patched. No pain!. I watched TV while he worked. Check out this doctor's credentials. read more

Big turnaround: Scheduling issues were a real pain, so to speak, but Dr. Amin did a good job on my tooth. Moreover, upon follow up, he made it right and ensured I had help with the pain. read more

This place is fine, as long as you don't mind "pulling teeth" to get a refund on your overpayment. They have you pay up front based on your insurance company's estimate of the out-of-pocket portion for the treatment. Once the claim is submitted, if your insurance pays more than expected, they are supposed to refund you the difference. But really, they are counting on the patient never following up. In order to get my $79 refund, over the course of a month, I sent 3 unanswered e-mails, and placed a total of 6 phone calls, before eventually going in person to get my check. The worst part was dealing with the office manager, Erica. Not only does she fail to grasp the basic concept of customer service, she is bad at her job. She forgot to submit a claim to my insurance company, and decided to just deduct that from my refund. rather than correcting her oversight. When I called her on it, she gave me an attitude and took a nasty tone. She also lied on two occasions and said the check was in the mail (which never arrived). Once she realized I wasn't going away until I got my refund, she said she would put a stop payment on both checks that had supposedly been sent, and I could come in person and pick up a new check. She added, "since this $79 is so important to you." It's really a shame that Dr. Amin's office is so egregiously mismanaged by such an unpleasant, incompetent, and downright nasty person, because I actually had a good experience with the root canal. Dr. Amin was efficient, professional, and had good bedside manner, and the procedure was not at all as scary as I thought it would be. However, not everyone in the back office shares those qualities, and dealing with Erica was far more painful than the root canal. read more

This is an update to my previous review. I am giving 5 stars this time to average out the pervious review I gave of 2 stars given based on the follow up given by this dentist. I still have problems with the 2 teeth mentioned before that will need expensive follow up. But, what inspired me to write a better review is that I really appreciate that Dr Amin personally contacted me after reading my post. He took the time to follow up with me and make suggestions that might help in my treatment moving forward. I'm not sure why my previous treatment failed but I do find it commendable that this doctor took the time to follow up with me and offer advice moving forward, I believe that shows a level of care that goes beyond the norm and that is why I am now giving 5 stars. I believe that every one should have opportunities to rectify problems, and given the current situation (I now live in CA) I believe that Dr Amin did all he could to try to make things right. read more

So I was having pain, dull ache that was getting progressively worse, went to my dentist and she put a crown on...Was still having pain, she referred me to Austin Center for Endodontics...Went in for evaluation, took X-rays , Dr Amin showed me where the pain was coming from and said a root canal was in order....I was sweating it for a week until my scheduled root canal....Fear not anymore, I was in and out in about 35-40 minutes and was completely painless....Dr Amin and his staff were excellent...Highly recommended...! read more

I was in town for a developer conference, when a tooth ache struck at the worst time. I knew I needed an endodontist and luckily Dr. Amin worked me into his schedule that day. I've seen different dental specialists in the past, but he still was a cut above the rest. Very professional and compassionate. His office is immaculate and modern: I was able to watch Netflix during the entire procedure! He and his team were great! So humble too; on the way out, I find out he went to Harvard Dental School...Highly recommend!! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Amin to anyone who needs a root canal. He is very professional and does a great job! His assistant Deborah is very caring as well. read more

I was referred to Dr. Amin for a root canal, having a dental background my self I went in knowing what to expect from the treatment but must say the experience was much better than I could have asked, wished, or prayed for!!! Treatment was fast and pain-free!!! Dr. Admin shows passion for his patients and really has a heart for dentistry. He made me feel really comfortable from the time of the consultation and all through out the treatment. His staff was awesome!!! Erica (front desk) was so kind and greets you at the door with a warming smile! Pixie (dental assistant) really goes the extra mile to assure you are comfortable and all questions and concerns are addressed!!! I strongly recommend Dr. Amin and his staff!!! read more

If you are needing a root canal or any sort of oral surgery, this is the place to go! Like most people, I hate having any dental work done. I got my first root canal done here and it was honestly more enjoyable than getting my regular teeth cleaning done at the dentist. The front desk is so helpful and nice! And Dr. Amin made me feel very comfortable. You are even able to watch Netflix during your procedure, they have a tv on the ceiling! I didn't feel a thing during the procedure, and it was over so quickly that I didn't even finish my Netflix episode! I highly highly recommend this place! read more

First, I feel a little sorry for Dr. Amin, because literally no one says, "Yay! Dental surgery!" That said, he really does everything to make it as painless as possible, primarily by being fast, competent and having cutting edge equipment. He is also chill about me noise cancelling headphones, crucial for my mental ability to withstand dental business of any kind. He and his staff are very pleasant and empathetic when a patient (cough-cough, asking for a friend) starts to sweat profusely and vaguely spazzes out from what may or may not be a root-canal pre-stress related migraine. He was re-doing a previous root canal of mine where the endodontist missed a canal. He had my crown drilled through, material out, canal murdered (or whatever the scientific term is - likely not that), and antibiotics packed in - all in about 45 minutes. He provided clear follow up instructions, all while exhibiting the glow of extreme competence. As someone who's had some very subpar dental work, save yourself the long term costs that result from short term savings. I recommend Dr. Amin's office very highly. read more

I was terrified when I realized I needed a root canal, but Dr. Amin's professionalism and confidence in approaching my procedure put me at ease. He and his staff understood that while they see root canals daily, this was a new adventure for me. Dr. Amin did fantastic work and I felt minimal pain. He and his staff were very clear about after care, and when I was concerned I wasn't healing correctly they rushed my right in same day to see he doctor. (Naturally I was merrily being a hypochondriac and all was just fine!) I highly recommend Dr. Amin, and I can't thank him enough for getting me back to work same day after my procedure! read more

Dr. Amin did my root canal today. 5 stars! I was terrified, but you should know that he a) went to NYU and Harvard Medical School and b) has an excellent personality/bedside manner and c) has a very kind and professional staff. Absolutely amazing care. Would recommend without a doubt! read more

I was in need of a root canal and referred to Dr. Amin by my regular dentist. Visiting the dentist in general has always been a source of anxiety for me so naturally, I was very nervous about getting my first ever root canal. Dr. Amin and his staff made the experience very easy and nearly painless for me. When making the appointment with his receptionist via phone I provided all of my insurance information. Within a few hours I was sent an email with a summary of estimated costs so that I knew what to expect the day of the appointment. His office staff was very friendly. Dr Amin was very welcoming and knowledgeable. He took time to tell me what to expect and what he was planning to do during the root canal. There was even a TV mounted to the ceiling and his assistant gave me headphones so that I could listen to Pandora while they worked. I was in and out of his office in less than an hour. Who would've thought a root canal could take less than an hour! The procedure was painless and I experienced very little pain afterwards when the numbness wore off. Dr. Amin made the whole experience very easy. read more

Dr. Amin and his staff are excellent. Unpleasant circumstances brought me into his office but it was as pleasant as possible. Listened to pandora the entire root canal. I highly recommend his office. read more

As someone who required several root canals treatments and visited Dr. Amin's office more than 5 times, I speak from experience when I say Dr. Amin is a god send. He was professional, thorough, gental, and his follow up care was second to none. His willingness to see me on short notice ment the world to me as those were the times I was in excrutiating pain. I live in Phoenix and would fly into Austin if I ever needed an endodontist again. read more
