I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mark Wood and the team at Central Dentist Specialty Center. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The front desk is efficient, friendly, and always willing to help with scheduling or insurance questions. Dr. Wood has an excellent chairside manner--professional, patient, and very thorough in explaining every step of the process. He takes time to answer questions, never makes you feel rushed, and his calm demeanor really helps ease any dental anxiety. I appreciated how he walked me through my treatment plan and gave me options without any pressure. The office itself is clean, modern, and equipped with the latest technology, which made procedures quick and smooth. What really stood out to me was how gentle Dr. Wood was during treatment--I barely felt anything, and recovery was much easier than I expected. If you're looking for a dentist who truly cares about his patients, listens, and delivers high-quality work, I highly recommend Dr. Mark Wood at Central Dentist Specialty Center. He's the kind of dentist you can trust long-term. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Central Dental Specialty Center. The dentist and staff were extremely rude and made me feel uncomfortable when I expressed my concerns about pain and explained that I was nervous about the dental procedure. Instead of listening to my concerns and making me feel reassured, I was yelled at and made to feel as though my concerns didn't matter. I have never experienced a medical or dental office where a patient's concerns were treated with such little consideration. Patients should feel heard, respected, and comfortable when discussing their pain or anxiety. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here, and I would not recommend this office based on how I was treated. read more

I was referred by my dentist to confirm if my previous root canal needed retreatment and my overall experience was wonderful. Staff were kind, explained cost, procedure and overall after care of my root canal treatment. The endodontist Henry Kwon was amazing! As someone who struggles with high anxiety at the dentist, he made me feel very relaxed, informed me of the procedure and overall was a delight! Never did I think getting a root canal retreated would be so quick and painless. read more

I was referred by my local dentist due to a complicated wisdom tooth extraction, the ladies at the front desk are very friendly and welcoming, Shoutout to Armand for taking care of me during the procedure. The price is reasonable but they offer payment plans if you cannot afford the treatment. if you are looking to get some major work done, please make an appointment with them! read more

I have had a bad experience with them on not one (1) but two (2) separate occasions!! When contacting their office to express my concerns with the oversights from their team, I was simply ignored, even though they admittedly messed up! After a couple of emails (attached) and three (3) phone calls, I gave up! To summarize, in Feb. 2022, Endodontist Henry Kwon who prides himself with years of experience and brags about how SPEEDY he is, overlooked a crucial part of the prescribed treatment! Maybe he needs to SLOW DOWN and read much more carefully! The second incident, last month, Endodontist Vivian Han, who was very secure with her work, almost overly confident, simply chose to bypass a big part of the recommended treatment. She was very proud of her work, which is great, but the job was ONLY HALF done!! If you want your dental work done correctly, the first time, please look elsewhere. If you do not mind the hassle (repeat trips; waste of time, money, etc.) stick with them! read more

8-8-24 was my first visit to Central Dental. Dr. Francis referred me to this office. The staff was very professional and caring. Front office personnel explained every step of procedures and insurance coverage, suggested payment plan so that I may receive needed treatment. Dr.Kwon and assistants (I apologize for not obtaining all names) made me feel at ease, understanding my recent health issues. I will be returning for further treatment and appreciate the wonderful attention I received. Highly recommend Central Dental for those in need of professional services and care. read more

I came here 9/15/2020 and the dentist I saw was possibly Kwor Chieh Loo. He is experimenting on everybody who sees him. I did not take his advice and had my insurance send me someone in newport beach where they placed me in a cone bean ct scan to show me how Loo was full of poop. I advise everyone who comes here to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! This is a dangerous place to "trust". read more

I came here for an endodontist treatment and DR Kwor was amazing I did not feel any pain he was fast and taking care of everything even his assistant that I did not ask his name my bad. read more

Great experience with this South Gate dental office..I brought my special needs daughter in for a consultation to see the endodontist and ended up getting the procedure done! I right away felt confortable.. Gaby front office clerk was very professional. Oscar and Dr Kwon did and awesome and amazing job keeping my daughter confortable through out the whole procedure. They therally explained every step. All back office assistants were kind and courteous (Yvette). I would highly recommend this office to anyone who is interested in receiving care from a caring specialist!! read more

Dr. Mark Woods was a superb medical professional. Even though I had a tooth extracted, I felt nothing. The personnel at Central Dental Specialty Center is wonderful and extremely knowledgeable, and the facility is immaculate. After the procedure, staff members made sure I had all the support and knowledge I needed to take care of myself. read more

Office staff ( just 2 persons out of 3 or 4) rudeness is awful, they mistreat you by assuming that you as a customer are Spanish speaking person, elderly or just simply by us being ignorant about dental procedures. Once they hear you speaking English they tone down, and a "nice mode" gets triggered. Couple of visits and some reviews down here is enough to say that Customer Service is the only part they lack of. Being Hispanic has a tremendous negative perspective that impacts me and those who can't defend against this office team. Shake it off and add professionals, their environment is toxic and demeaning. Sad and very common reality. read more

I had a great experience here, Dr. Wood is very professional and knowledgeable. He answered every question and was very patient an thorough with his answers. Other dentists do not compare to his expertise and manner when treating patients. Gaby at the front desk was very friendly and made the experience here even better. I highly recommend Central Endodontics. read more

I got a referral to come to Central Endodontics from my dentist. I needed root canal treatment on a tooth that another dentist had wanted to pull out and get it over with. Arriving at Central Endodontics I was greeted by the friendly staff and filled out some paperwork. I did end up waiting a while because they couldn't get a hold of my insurance but I'm glad I waited because I was given exceptional care. James McIntosh and his assistant (I didn't get his name sorry) were amazing. Not only did they put me at ease but they did a great job. My root canal treatment was a success. I'm so happy I came here. Thank you! I absolutely recommend this place. read more

I just want to say that today I had another root canal procedure here with Dr kwon and I feel good. He is an amazing doctor. He explains really good with details. He is my root canal doctor now. Love it here great customer service, staff, front desk everybody makes you feel welcomed. I even brought my son here for consultation and he is pending for a root canal too. He even said mom this place looks clean, every room has windows to make you feel relaxed. read more

I haven't been to the dentist in a long time and my anxiety was through the roof! I notified the staff and they were very understanding and kind! Adriana even went out of her way to get me a pair of ear plugs to muffle the sound of the drilling! Dr. Kwon was AMAZING!! BEST ROOT CANAL EXPERIENCE EVER!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

I was referred here by my regular dentist due to it being a very complicated case. I had a very large abscess and excruciating pain on one of my back teeth. The x-ray taken by my regular dentist didn't really show the issue so he sent me over to Cental Dental Specialty. Everybody there was extreamly nice and the office was exceptionally clean. Dr. Kwan was the endodontist that took care of me. He did a root canal through the crown and miraculously solved the problem which at first we were not 100% sure what the issue was due to the X-ray not showing the problem. Again, this was a very difficult case because much of my tooth had calcified. There was zero pain during the procedure. Dr. Kwan is the best endodontist I have ever been to. He is very caring and explained every single detail of what was taking place. The abscess that I had for almost 2 weeks had almost completely disappeared after the procedure. He called me the night of and the next morning of my procedure to check on me. It is too bad that I will only be able to see him with a referral. There are not enough stars on yelp to give to this office!!! read more

Don't go here if you're in need of urgent care. I had a bad infection and they recommended a surgery and they never called me back or followed up. It's been over a month. They didn't even offer me antibiotics. I called another Endodontics office in Downey and it was like night and day. Got antibiotics and Rx for the pain on my first visit. read more

I was provided with outstanding service from the moment i arrived. The staff assured me i was in good hands,well i must say i was impressed,not only did i receive top notch care i left amazed that i had no discomfort after anesthesia wore off.The quality of work was excellent Dr's. assistant was awesome made me feel relaxed, i am not the bravest when it comes to receiving dental work.Keep up the great service at reception desk (first impression are of utmost importance).Keep up the great service.Thanks for having an immaculate office , it is a reflection of the care that is given. read more

I had a root canal re-treat with Dr. Loo, and my experience was fantastic! The entire process was seamless and everyone at his office is professional and made me feel comfortable throughout. Dr. Loo was able to identify the issue, let me know exactly what he was going to do, and executed quickly and you could tell he is a true professional in his field. I would not hesitate in having him work of any of my family or friends and will suggest him. If you are looking for a endo doctor, definitely check them out. read more

Had a great experience here. I was in dire need of a root canal & my reg spot gave me a referral to the Endo specialist here. I roll with a Dental Discount card which they accept, but it was cheaper to pay out of pocket. Oh & they accept Care Credit which is great during Quarantine when you're trying to stretch your pennies. Any-who Dr. Khosravian performed my root canal with the gentle touch of a new lover during the Spring. I was numbed up so good I literally started to fall asleep. I'd tell you about my sweet dreams but they're none of your business thank you. I need another procedure before my root canal process is finished so I'll definitely stick with these guys & gals. Oh & the receptionist was very pleasant & knowledgeable even though we had to speak through muffled face masks. Thanks for getting me out of pain Central Endo! read more

El día 27 de Febrero tuve mi cita , horrible servicio al cliente entre las 8:30-9:30 negaron el servicio a una persona de la tercera edad y lo trataron muy mal al señor por si el dueño quiere revisar las cámaras, mi cita fue a las 8 y me pasaron de último casi a las 10 am casi dos horas esperando porque las de enfrente no habían pasado mi archivo , la persona que envía las referencias mandó los rayos x de otro paciente en lugar de los míos, Gaby recepcionista es una persona muy grosera sin ética profesional pedi hablar con un manager me dijo que no estaba que llegaba el lunes, me trató muy mal , llame a mi aseguranza y Karla amablemente llamó a la oficina y resulta que si estaba la Manager "Ana" según quedó de enviar los rayos x correctos el día de hoy 03/15/2023 . Ha pasado casi un mes desde que tuve mi cita y aún no han hecho nada. Por favor si tienen una emergencia si necesitan cirugía o cualquier otro servicio eviten ir a este lugar , no se los recomiendo. El cirujano muy amable y profesional , lástima las personas que trabajan en Servicio al cliente!!!! Deberían aprender a tratar bien a las personas, sino le gusta su trabajo debería renunciar mejor. read more

I just had a root canal done here yesterday and I can honestly say it was the best dental experience I have had my entire life. I am 49 years old so that is saying a lot. I was nervous and anxious but Marco and Dr Kwon made me feel comfortable as at ease. The root canal was so quick it only took about 9 mins from when he started. Anna at the front desk was super courteous and took care of me promptly. I will now book all my endodontist needs with this center. Highly recommend! read more

From the front desk to the end of my root canal my experience with this office was AMAZING! I was referred here by my dentist, which I really don't care for too much. The moment I stepped into the lobby I was greeted and felt welcomed. The dental assistant was awesome and so was the dentist. The procedure was painless and I'm terrified of the dentist so that really helped. I hope I never have to go back but with them I wouldn't mind. read more

I usually get root canals from my general dentist (I've had two), but getting it done from an endo was a faster and better experience. I was comfortable as I could be for getting a root canal done. After the initial numbing the root canal took 30 minutes. I was sore that day and the next but that's to be expected. Office was really clean and had new equipment. The front desk was really nice and helpful. Doctor was informative and professional. read more

I am very GRATEFUL for Dr. Khosravian, I was in extreme pain due to an infected tooth that needed a root canal. They were able to fit me into their schedule for an emergency root canal, although she was booked up for the day. ALL the staff was very attentive to my needs and friendly they went out of their way to help me. Dr. Khosravian is so gentle and explained everything clearly to me. I have been to different dentist and this is the first doctor that shows she really cares about the patient. I wish she had a general practice office for general dentistry, however she's an Endodontics specialist. I will recommend all my friends and family for a root canal to this office. THANK YOU Dr. Khosravian! read more

Got a root canal here. Didn't hurt not even a little. Doctor was fast and efficient. I'm taking Advil for the pain but doesn't hurt to much, I'm chewing with my good side for now. It's been almost a month and zero problems. I waited to write the review to be safe. Like I said no problems after 3 days the pain was gone. As far as payment it was 250 for the treatment. And 10 for the consultation or something point is I got charged about 260 for everything. Keep in my I got the cheapest out of the 3 dental insurance my company offered me. didn't think I'd be needing it so soon lol read more

Best Endodontist in Los Angeles CA. It's very clean. The people are very nice. The doctor is very good at what she does. The process felt like 30 min. Even though it was 2 hours.Everything went very smoothly. I recommend it. :) Thank you Central Endodontics. read more

Never go here. It's sad because the front office staff and nurses are amazing. The doctor walked in asked me if I bit into something hard and then shoved a icy cotton ball into my tooth. Right after she hit my tooth with her instrument which sent shooting pain down my neck. After that the nurse told me the doctor would try to save my tooth but the surgery may not work. I asked why we are trying to save a dead tooth? Then I gave in and decided to go ahead with the root canal. The doctor and the nurse asked if I was on antibiotics and I said yes. the dentist I saw the day before referred me here and gave me antibiotics. This whole time I explained I had never had any surgery, I wrote on my chart my extream sensitivity to needle pain. The doctor ignored me the entire time. She shoved a cotton ball into my mouth on top of the tooth and told me to bite down. I did. It was like she was rushing but honesty I really felt like she didnt feel like caring for me. Before that numbing agent started to work she shoved a needle in my mouth to numb me. I was able to take 2 shots before they asked me again if I was on antibiotics. I said yes again. After the 3rd shoot my heart started racing,my body started shaking and I started to hyperventilate. The doctor was frustrated with me like I had control over this. I have never had any type of oral surgery I was already in a lot of pain and I told her that when I would get cavities the numbing would never work on me. She ignored me. The doctor said to the nurse " she can't handle this"and walked out of the room. I spent the rest of my day with a numb face, infected tooth untreated and they wouldn't even give me back my copay. I've never had a doctor ignore me the way this one did. I checked my insurance page and this place had no ratings yet the previous dentist referred me there. I'm so glad I have a PPO so I can choose a better dentist who will at least look me in the face and listen to my concerns. It's really to bad. I worked very hard to get the job I have and I did so because I wanted good health care, I did not find it here. read more

came in for a root canal issue. Front desk staff was awesome! docter was even more awesome! this place was clean, answered all my questions and on top of their game!!!! Hopefully i wont have to go back (i hate the dentist) but this place was overall just great! read more

I wish I could give this 0 stars. I had my root canal done here. Not only did they fail at my root canal, when I tried to speak to a manager about it, I got the run around for a week straight, never getting a call back from her. Every time I called, I was told that she was in a meeting or out to lunch or not int, and was told she was the ONLY person I could talk to. Not only am I in pain, but I was told by the dr himself that I would now need a surgery that costs over $2500!! I highly discourage anyone from using this office! read more

I have been here twice for root canals. They do good work. The only complaint that I have is that the assistant is slow with the suction and no one returned my phone call when I left a message. read more
