I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care from this office and Dr. McRay. The entire staff were warm and welcoming from the time I had the consult to the time of checkout after treatment. The staff and Dr. McRay were on time, professional, efficient, and the facility was pleasing to be in. I have had 2 other similar treatments and this was by far the best experience. I felt relaxed during the whole thing and was well informed of what was occuring. This office is highly recommended and worth the opportunity to experience it yourself. THANK YOU, to all the team there! read more

The professionalism of the office staff was great. And the root canal performed by Dr. McCray was completely easy and painless. He made one of the scarier dental events into a completely positive experience. Thank you Dr. McCray and staff!! read more

I had a root canal done by Dr. Blake McRay, and it went perfect. I came in with a bunch of questions and was a little nervous, and Dr. McRay took the time to explain everything in a clear, calm and concise way. The procedure went smoothly. If you ever need an endodontist, I highly recommend him. His office staff is also friendly and very helpful. read more

Dr. Cohen is outstanding. Kind, informative and caring. Stephanie out at the desk is wonderful and understanding.

From the minute one walks through the door, you know you're in good hands. The staff thoroughly explains the costs and the paper work in an understandable manner. Dr. McRay is personable, and ensures that one understands the procedure. No one likes root canals, but with Dr. McRay's expertise it's almost painless! read more

Had a couple problems with this office. First of all, I called in advance to make sure that they could do a complete root canal, including replacing my crown and was assured that they did. Turns out they DO NOT replace the crown and told me to go to my regular dentist to do that and remove the partial packing after root canal. Why did they give me the wrong information which is why I called in advance to avoid things like this? Also, had minor issues after the root canal and the office staff was very rude to me on the phone saying they DO NOT Guarantee root canals. I was able to talk them into writing me a refill for antibiotics, but they didn't seem to want to see me again or seem very concerned that I had issues after the root canal. read more

I have experience with root canals, way too much given multiple crashes into pavement :) I have had multiple procedures now by Dr. McRay and he and his entire team are THE BEST. If ever I moved away, I would definitely travel -- even great distances -- to be treated by Dr. McRay. His always gracious office staff found me a convenient appointment the day after my referral. They also confirmed what my insurance should pay and what I would be responsible for -- in advance of my visit. They also gave me the option of first doing just a consult, or doing the investigation and, if needed, root canal in the same visit. (I always choose the latter because in my mind, if I need a root canal, there is no benefit in waiting!) While from the outside the office complex looks like just another medical building, walking in you realize this team is uber professional and really cares. Their entire office is kept absolutely immaculate and every patient place in the space is super comfortable. I arrived a bit early and found the really nice touch that there were cold drinks in a mini-fridge in the waiting area. They were also right on time, which I always appreciate. The semi-open floor plan makes the treatment spaces feel less intimidating and, the abundant use of advanced technology proves that this is a team who really cares about their craft and successful procedures. Dr. McRay's assistant was efficient, funny, kind and kept checking on me throughout the prep and procedure. Dr. McRay was super focused on the microscope and my tooth during the entire procedure -- as you would certainly hope -- while keeping me apprised of what he was doing. He is confident without being arrogant, and, like his entire team, he is kind, gracious and efficient -- exactly what you want from your medical professional. They also checked on me the following day. The procedure was completely painless and given I have had prior root canals by Dr. McRay, I can attest to their long term success. I get that no one wants a root canal, but if you need one: this is the place. read more

I just had a root canal re-treated by Dr. McRay. He did a fantastic job and it was the best root canal experience I've ever had. The office experience and substandard customer service, however, left much to be desired. Norma, the front office staff, was quite rude and condescending to me in our conversations around scheduling, finances, etc. I interacted with Norma in 2021 also and distinctly remember feeling the same way and hoping I wouldn't have to deal with her this time around. Despite the great work of Dr. McRay, I will not return to this office for follow up care. I prefer to spend my money in places where people treat me well and do not speak to me condescendingly or like I am somehow a bother. read more

I cannot say enough about Dr. McRay and his staff. Nobody ever wants a Root Canal but I can tell you if you choose to go here you will be better off for it. They are incredibly professional and truly show care for the patient. I was referred here as the dentist thought it would be a very complicated procedure. Yet when Dr. McRay looked at my tooth, he knew right away what to do as if it was text book. Root Canals are all he does so you have that expertise working for you! The Root Canal utilized the most advanced technology and I was out of there in about an hour. The doctor actually called to see how I was feeling the next day. I hope to not need one of these again for a very long time but I would travel across country to go to Dr. McRay! read more

Is it weird to miss your Endodontist? Obviously when you are in a lot of tooth pain it's pretty hard to have a pleasant experience, but this office made me feel so cared for and comforted. From the front desk, to the dental assistant and especially Dr. Cohen. I can not say enough about how wonderful this office is. They are extremely clean and the office is beautiful and pleasant. Great parking too. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen if you are in need of advanced dental care. She's seriously amazing. read more

Best Root Canal Experience - ever, and I should know, since 2002 I have had multiple root canals, implants, periodontal procedures, bone grafts on my jaw and a host of other procedures here in the Bay Area, New York and Boston. If you need a root canal and live anywhere in the Bay Area, whether Napa, Sonoma, Marin, or Easy Bay Dr. McRay should be your first call. Here are my Top 5 reasons why: Scheduling: I was referred to Dr. McRay through a mutual friend and when I called his office to schedule an appointment, the office staff was significantly more patient and friendly than most I have spoken to in the Bay Area. They worked with my schedule, and just the overall tone and experience exceeded that of other groups I have spoken with in the past. No paper forms: Never had to touch a single piece of paper, everything was done online, and never had to worry about if my handwriting fit into all those little lines on forms. During the procedure: Fell asleep. I actually fell asleep, Dr. McRay is that good, that gentle and that steady. Dr. McRay uses the latest technology, knows exactly what he needs to do in order to get to the root of the problem (no pun intended) and get you home ASAP in as little discomfort as possible. Post procedure: I woke up at 1am just after my appointment as I have a newborn at home, I went to help change and feed my daughter and my wife asked me "Are you OK?? Aren't you in pain and sore?" Nope, I felt totally fine. Dr. McRray called me the next day to check-in and I just went on with my week like nothing happened, I really woke up the next morning and forgot that I had another root canal. Week out after procedure: I really did not need a lot of pain meds and zero complications. I know some patients with a long history of dental issues can suffer different flare-ups, or infection or other related issues, everything was perfect. If you live in Napa or Sonoma, Dr. Blake McRay is your go to for a root canal. If you live in Marin (like I do, in San Rafael) and think "too far" - nope, it's not. Not only did it take me ~40 minutes during commute times, but wife and kids came with me, they got to go to a gorgeous park while I was having my procedure, came back an hour later, and everyone had a great time. Thank you Dr. McRay!!! I hope I do not need another root canal for a LONG time, but if I do, you are #1 on my list to call!! read more

I was recently in need of a root canal and having never had one before, I was not looking forward to it. The office manager Stephanie was able to get me in the same day due to pain and swelling. She really went above and beyond putting my mind at ease, getting all the preliminary paperwork expedited, etc. She is wonderful! Dr. McRay is outstanding as well. He really went above and beyond my expectations, answering all my questions prior to the procedure and he did a wonderful job putting my mind at ease before and during the procedure. His dental hygienist Elizabeth is also lovely and a very calming presence. Dr. McRay called me the following day to see how I was feeling and if I was in any pain or had any follow questions. Amazing! Their COVID protocols were also excellent which helped put my mind at ease. Thank you all for a superb job. I will be recommending you to all my friends and colleagues who may find themselves in need of a root canal in the future. Thank you very much and stay safe. read more

I've been here twice and I'm happily surprised each time just how professional and accommodating the team is. I'd never consider anyone else. read more

I was referred here for a consult of a possible fractured tooth which has a 40 year old root canal and a ten year old crown. From start to finish, everyone in this practice was first rate. Dr Hannah Cohen was very clear about the three possible outcomes of my tooth, and kept me informed all the way. She was gentle, kind and knowledgeable, and thankfully she was able to save the tooth. Her pain control was first rate and I didn't feel a thing as she removed the old root canal metal, cleaned the canal out and replaced it with more modern material. Her staff are so friendly and helpful, and the whole practice is thoughtfully run. Honestly wish they did regular dentistry too! read more

My background: My dentist did a filling and two days later I felt pressure under my tooth that wouldn't go away. My dentist demissed me and said that's normal. I had enough experience to know it wasn't and suspected an infection but my insurance gave assigned dentists. I let it be, as such, for FIVE YEARS. My dentists have always had multiple patients to deal with at once and rush procedures. Experience with Blake: Called and got seen for an exam the next day. Blake performed a root canal the same day. He was calm and answered all my questions without annoyance. He gave me his undivided attention the entire time. I was offered "advanced disinfection". I never heard of such a thing. The $99 out of pocket expense was totally worth it! I assumed it would be a 2 minute disinfection but, nope, Blake flushed my tooth for a good 10 minutes with what smelled like a chlorine solution. Before disinfection, I smelled that same smell during the drilling. Awesome! I never had a dentist be so into sanitization. I am very pleased and thankful to have found Blake and highly recommend him. read more

Never felt a thing, which is the highest praise that I can give! The work done was good, too.

I was impressed by Dr MCRAY and his staff from start to finish. Kind, professional and talented. I hope I don't need another root canal, but there is no one else I would see if I did. read more

During these scary times it is even more stressful to encounter tooth pain and scramble to find treatment. I was recently referred to see Dr. McRay and my experience was very positive and overall I felt really safe getting treated. From the moment of check-in to check-out the staff and Dr. McRay were very nice and extremely professional. He explained the procedure, and catered to any questions I had. The environment is clean, organized and inviting. Definitely would rate my experience 10/10. Thank you! read more

Dr. McRay explains every step along the way in terms you can understand. He is professional and polite. His assistant Norma made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure and the receptionist Annabelle was nice and helpful. It's rarely fun to go to the dentist but this crew made a repair procedure much more positive than it could have been. The office is state of the art and very we kept. I definitely recommend them and will use them for future procedures as needed. read more

As a dental professional myself, I never dreamed I would have to see Dr. McRay. However, cracked teeth happen, and I am actually glad I have now experienced first hand the top-notch service that our patients always rave about. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. McRay and his team from the front to the back! Dr. McRay was efficient, quick, and very gentle. I HIGHLY recommend his office! read more

I have had two root canals completed by Dr. Blake McRay. I really hate the dentist and have great anxiety about shots and drilling. Honestly, the process is not painful goes quickly with very little pain after the surgery as well. I don't like write a lot of reviews but this business deserves all of their great reviews. read more

Dr Blake McRay was without a doubt one of the most compassionate and sensitive Dr's to my fears and anxiety of having my first ever root canal. This is the only time ever that a follow up call came from the Dr himself, not nurse or assistant...amazing! Thank Dr McRay and staff. read more

Friendly and Professional staff, Doctor McRay was very informative explaining the entire procedure to me before he started. This was my first Root Canal and I was very nervous. The Root Canal was quick and painless. I received a call the next day from Doctor McRay, he wanted to know how I was feeling after the procedure. I thought that was very thoughtful and caring. I can't remember the last time any Doctor has done this. I'm 59 years old and would highly recommend Doctor McRay. read more

I was in horrible pain and I called Dr. McRay's office and the same day they were able to put me in their schedule and did the procedure right away. Great relief!!!! Great staff...Dr. McRay explained the procedure really well; what's going to happen, what to expect..etc. This doctor is comes highly recommended. DISCLAIMER THIS IS NOT A PAID REVIEW/ACTUAL PATIENT read more

What a GREAT Root Canal! Not really what I wanted to do, but Dr McRay and his staff are really on their game. I don't want to get another, but if I need one, I will be back! read more

My mom is a dental hygienist and I've gone to her office (with the same dentist) for 30 years. When one of my teeth started turning gray Dr. Devincenzi referred me to Dr. McRay for endodontic evaluation. Dr. Devincenzi was adamant that I see Dr. McRay rather than any other endodostist in the North Bay Area. She was right! Steady hands, reasonable pricing, and about the same trouble/pain as a basic filling left me with a (corrected) smile. Setting an appointment was easy and most forms, disclosures, and paperwork were handled in advance and online which saved me time at the office and let me take my time reading the materials. The assistant staff, particularly Belle, are super helpful. Though I got the address wrong (similar sounding businesses in Napa, be careful, apparently it happens often enough for the offices to notify each other, oops) so I was a little late but they accommodated me without any grief. After filling out some forms that could only be done in the office and taking my photo for their file, I was seated in a very modern and updated office. The optical equipment was top of the line (Zeiss) and everything was very clean. I ended up needing a root canal (the nerve into #6 was severed and the old nerve cells and whatnot were causing the tooth to turn grey) but as much to whiten the tooth as for avoiding any potential problems down the road. They explained all changes in cost and time for the procedure clearly then went to work. Dr. McRay stuck me as young ... but I've been going to the same dentist and hygienist for 30 years so they've aged with me. Personally I prefer a doctor who is relatively recently out of school to ensure current treatment methods and I feel like that's what I got with Dr. McRay. He was efficient and seemed as competent as I could possibly hope for. My canal filling was deeper than anticipated but he handled all changes and issues expertly. He added some bleach under a temporary filling which resolved the gray coloring almost overnight though he mentioned we could repeat the bleaching another couple times if the color was not matched to my other teeth in a week when I return. Then I'll get a permanent filling and return in a year to confirm everything has remained as it should. They have consistently sent follow up emails and replied to all my questions right away. The cost was reasonable in my mom's experience as a hygienist in the area and I've found that another person in my office has been to Dr. McRay for a simliar procedure (with simiar positive results and reviews of his office). read more

Had to get an emergency root canal and my dentist referred me here. Couldn't have been happier with everything. They got me in same day, insurance stuff was a breeze, everyone was so friendly and I had full confidence in Dr. McRay after talking with him. Told me what was up, exactly what he was going to do, what he was doing and completed the job quickly. All with the utmost professionalism. When I first was seated another gentleman was getting a root canal in the next area. After Dr. McRay had finished the gentleman couldn't have been happier and jolly. I felt like that was a good sign. read more

First root canal, very fast and painless experience! All the staff is wonderful from the front desk to Dr. McRay!

Dr. Tetz from Green Valley Dental got me in to see Dr. McRay for an emergency root canal in less than 24 hours! Very nice endodontist! He took his time and made sure he wasn't hurting me! Highly recommend!! read more

Dr. Cohen did a great job on redoing an old root canal. She has a great chair side manner and is very professional. Everybody in the office was over the top great to work with. I had very little discomfort from start to finish including post-op. I can't recommend these folks highly enough. read more

We had an emergency root canal and Dr McRay saw us a few hours after our dentist referred us to him. He explained everything very well and did a fabulous job! Dr McRay and his staff are very professional, friendly and kind. Thank you so much Dr McRay and staff! read more

Thank you Dr. Cohen and the staff. Everyone was very friendly and personable, comfort level was 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend!

Dr. McRay was great in assessing, explaining, and performing the root canal. I am so appreciative of his compassion and professionalism. Although I do not want to have any others, I know that I am in good hands should I need to return for more procedures. read more

Dr. McRay is an amazing Endodontist! Today I walked over from a referral from Dr. Daw (also fantastic) and he was able to get me in that day! He explained everything to me and did the procedure well and quite quickly. Their office is super accommodating and seem to have the latest technology. They do everything to make you feel comfortable and the staff is great. Would highly recommend! read more

I needed an emergency root canal and my dentist referred me to Dr. Mcray's office. The receptionist was very helpful, explained all the costs involved and was even able to get me an appointment later that same day. Even though I was fit in at the last minute, when I arrived my wait to be seen was very short. Dr. Mcray very thoroughly explained exactly what was going to be done and the whole procedure took under 30 minutes. The best part was that I felt no pain other than a few pinches for the first few shots. I would highly recommend Dr. Mcray and his staff. read more

Dr. McRay is simply the best!!!!!!!!!! He is super amazing and fast, didn't feel a thing. I have dentist phobia and he made me feel super comfortable explains everything to me!! The fast that he got me out of pain and fast he deserves more than 5 stars read more

I was experiencing tooth pain under a crown and was referred to Dr McCray. The next available appointment was a couple of weeks away, but the office staff were able to get me in sooner by placing me on a cancellation list. I was given an appointment the next day! The root canal needed was explained in detail and was done over my lunch hour. I returned to work immediately afterwards and, in fact, I was able to go to a concert the same night! I continue to have no swelling or pain associated with the procedure. Dr McCray called the next day to see how I was feeling. Excellent customer service, professional staff, pain free! read more

I usually don't write reviews because i don't feel compelled to. I'm sure everyone hates the dentist. I have had bad treatments over the years. I was referred by another dentist to Dr, McRay and the difference from tools and demeanor is so significant , not to mention he is so calm and sounds genuine when talking to you. Doesn't feel rushed or seems uninterested. I had a filling done years ago that somehow turned out bad and having had an infection inside - he cleaned it out. I was in and out within the hour on the same day after being in pain for 2 days. I wouldn't dread going to back to him for any procedure knowing nothing hurts as badly or takes as long as other dentists. I would highly recommend you see this dentist if you have anything wrong - especially if your dentist says there is nothing wrong or there. read more

It's no surprise why i'm giving Dr. McRay 5 stars. This guy is amazing! My dentist referred me to his office this morning & Dr. McRay was able to squeeze me in on the same day! I needed a root canal & the pain I was experiencing was one i've never felt before, (I was taking norco for the pain as motrin, tylenol wasn't helping). Even though i was his last patient, he took his time as well as his assistant & office manager. I didn't feel rushed at all. I am very, very grateful he squeezed me in! Thanks Dr. McRay, assistant & office manager! Keep up the excellent work! =) read more

I am very grateful to Dr. McRay for his surgical intervention to fix a tooth which had undergone a failed root canal (done elsewhere). There was a large infection festering under the tooth, and he had to perform a surgical apico-ectomy to clean it out. He and his staff are so personable, welcoming and proficient. The office has state of the art equipment. I felt at all times that they were on top of my situation, and they fixed it with minimal anxiety or pain to me. Dr. McRay told me all about what he discovered and what the future might hold for that tooth. He had me return six months later to makes sure all was well. My insurance company initially declined to pay for the operation, misunderstanding it as another root canal on the same tooth. Dr. McRay's office was extremely helpful and gracious in getting it straightened out. I highly recommend this practice. read more
