Heaven sent! I had heard great things about Dr. Jakob, and after my experience this week, I know they are all true. Dr. Jakob squeezed me into his busy schedule after I suffered over a four-day holiday weekend with lightning-bolt pain radiating across the entire right side of my mouth. Seeing my obvious distress, he immediately gave me four shots to get the pain under control--a wonderful start. My case was complicated. I had a single tooth with four calcified, narrowed roots that required complex root canal therapy. Dr. Jakob worked with determined, gentle precision. He has an incredible calming manner that helped me to relax. I felt like a team player working in tandem with him and his lovely assistant, Tanya. In fact, Dr. Jakob's entire hand-picked staff is the absolute epitome of empathy. As someone who is both claustrophobic and dental-phobic, I never imagined I could get through an ordeal like this. But I did, and I am so grateful. I'm recovering well by following his post-op instructions and, I am truly counting my blessings--Dr. Jakob is now one of them. I highly recommend Dr. Jakob to anyone in need of an endodontist! read more

Worst experience I have ever had. All seemed OK until I got home and the anesthetic wore off, then the most horrific pain I have ever experienced. Quadrupled up on OTC pain killers, repeatedly, very little effect; I was climbing the walls for 2 days. Receptionist says Pain is OK, I hung up on her. He refused to prescribe the appropriate pain killers to get me past the second day. I explained to him that is his job, to know the possible pain level, to get out ahead of it, prescribe appropriately and judiciously. I am not a child, I can conduct myself appropriately also. He is not warm, he is cold with a facade. Bathroom is a 10 minute walk, and he does not tell you that you must spend even more money to get the cap put on the root canal. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Office looks great, staff is young and without any life experience, but nice. Chaim Jakob should not be in a position of causing that kind of pain. He does not possess the wisdom, compassion, judiciousness and savvy to inflict a root canal and cause 48 hours of hell. I have more work that needs doing but it will be anyone but him. DFK read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Jakob and I highly recommend him if you are looking for an endodontist that is knowledgeable, has great bedside manner, and does excellent work. I went in for a root canal I knew I was in good hands immediately. He and his staff were kind and explained everything to me clearly. The office was we very clean, which is important to me. I've had root canals in the past and this was by far the best experience I've had getting one. Five stars, and I would give more if I could. read more

Awesome Dr, Jakob I highly recommend. Very professional staff they made me feel very comfortable knowing how scared I was. Painless root canal ! read more

My experience with Jakob Endodontists was amazing! I had two root canals that were painless and thorough. Dr. Jakob accommodated my vertigo and neck issues without making feel like it was an inconvenience and discussed the procedure with me before and during the root canal. Dr. Jakob's assistant was always next to me helping in every way. The staff at the practice are wonderful too; warm and caring women who greet you at the front desk with smiles. They also followed up the next day to make sure I was ok. I highly recommend this practice; it is the best endodontic practice that I have been to in Florida, New York and DC! read more

Suddenly I needed root canal so I called Dr. Jakob's office and their fabulous receptionist, Lian got me an appointment the next morning. The office is meticulous. After some pleasantries, we found out in past years we hung out at some of the same places in Sullivan County NY. Then Dr. Jakob (and his wife,Tali/assistant) went to work on a tooth that was previously done poorly by another dentist. He thoroughly examined and performed the necessary work that will hopefully let this tooth last for years to come. And best of all, the work was completed in one visit!!! If you need an Endodontist, Chaim is your guy!! read more

Dr. Jakob and his team were absolutely amazing! I had trauma to one of my front teeth, and it recently was turning gray. Dr. Jakob was very professional, and he explained everything thoroughly. I was very nervous because I never had a root canal before, but he was amazing! I was extremely comfortable and pain-free during the whole procedure! They mentioned that I could take ibuprofen afterwards, but I had little to no pain. Due to my tooth being gray, he placed bleach inside my tooth to remove the grayness of the tooth. After a few days, it looked amazing and matched my other teeth perfectly! I would strongly recommend Dr. Jakob's office if you need a root canal! And his office was immaculate! read more

Dr. Jakob and his staff are absolutely amazing. Everyone is professional and friendly. The office is clean, spacious and welcoming. I had a root canal by another endodontist a few months ago, who "missed a canal". ( The previous endodontist didn't have microscope equipment. The missed canal and one of the treated canals in that tooth got infected). I came to Dr Jakob who with his excellent expertise and latest technology equipment was able to quickly determine (by imaging) that I needed a retreatment. He redid the root canal, saving me from pain, preventing the need for an apicoectomy gum surgery or losing the tooth. And, wonderfully, due to Dr. Jakob's gentle touch and thorough attention the procedure was painless. I am sincerely grateful for what he has done for me. I recommend him 1000% to anyone who needs endodontic treatment. read more

Highly recommend this practice!Dr Jakob was great and so was his staff! Latest technology! Steven Teicher read more

Dr Jakob just completed a risky root canal on me and I'm still stunned by how smoothly it went. They were able to see me soon after I called; I was very afraid of pain so he explained everything and used the right pain management so I didn't feel anything. Everyone in the office that I met with was friendly and efficient. Easy to reach by phone, text, and email. read more

I needed an emergency root canal done. I was directed by my dentist to Midtown Root Canal. The staff was extremely helpful in getting me in right away. Dr Jakob was very professional. He took his time explaining to me my problem on why I needed a root canal in full detail. The process was smooth and easy. I barely felt the procedure and I was out in no time. Thank you Dr Jakob and the whole staff at Midtown Root Canal. Highly recommend! read more

Filled out a request online for a root canal treatment and Dr. Alen Jakob's team got back to me within hours. They were able to fit me in the following morning. When I arrived, the office was very clean. Dr. Jakob not only answers any questions you may have but is very personable and was able to make me feel comfortable before the procedure. He explained the treatment step-by-step beforehand, which made me feel less anxious. I had heard horror stories about pain during root canal treatments so I was pretty nervous but even during the procedure, he made sure to ask that I was completely numb (I was) and even the shots were pretty painless. As someone who hates needles and has low pain tolerance, I was surprised at how quick and easy the entire procedure was. It took approximately an hour. After it was over, he gave me two dentists' contacts for the crown and explained that I should take two Advils every six hours and not to wait until the numbing wore off. I just had the procedure done yesterday and I am able to chew on both sides of my mouth again today! I highly recommend Dr. Jakob as he is knowledgeable, professional and executes the treatment very gently. read more

I wish I could give Dr. Jakob 100 stars! He is the best root canal specialist in the city and probably the world. He is truly amazing! I had a root canal in January by another specialist and had MAJOR issues ever since. I was becoming physically ill because of the infection and my life was turned upside down. The specialist that had done the root canal could not determine the cause and no solution was provided. I was told to keep waiting months more, that things would get better. Then I was told to root canal a different tooth. I could barely eat. I was taking 3 Advil every 6-8 hours for months. I was in a world of constant pain and was losing hope of ever being able to fix the issue. And then I decided to get a second opinion. I reached out to Dr. Jakob's office and told them I was in a lot of pain. They were able to get me in the same day, but I had a meeting at work. So they got me in ASAP the very next day. Rachel is truly caring and wanted to help me. I really appreciated this because most places make you wait, even in pain. The staff really care about your well being and understand the urgency of having tooth pain. The doctor himself called me and left a message when I inquired about booking an appointment. When I saw Dr.Jakob, I explained my issue and he never pointed blame at the other specialist. He was admirable in his approach. He examined the facts and thought about all possible solutions. After taking a look at my CT scan, he determined the problem. He was very transparent and informed me of the risks. Both him and Rachel were upfront and honest that the procedure may not work. I appreciate that and respect them more for making me aware. After I decided to move forward, I went in to start the process of removing the infection. Dr.Jakob took his time to fix the tooth and worked very hard to make sure he got all the infection. After the first procedure, my tooth was significantly better. My pain went from a 10/10 to a 0/10 in two weeks. I was surprised and thankful he took the risk to try and fix my tooth. I then received another procedure to make sure all the infection was gone. Ever since, my tooth has been healing and feeling so much better. I can finally chew on my tooth again after 5 months of agony. Keep in mind, I haven't been able to chew on my tooth since the previous root canal 5 months ago. He is super smart and knowledgeable, works very hard and the staff are wonderful. Karla his assistant is so sweet! I was terrified going in there and she talked to me like a friend. It made me feel so comfortable! She played fun music and talked to me about her wedding since I'm getting married soon. She calmed me way down and It helped so much. I was scared! Since insurance wouldn't cover to retreat my tooth, the office offers carecredit. This helped me afford getting the treatment done and finance payments each month. I am so thankful they offered this. After the procedure, the doctor called and sent letters to my dentist and oral surgeon that had helped me before. He went above and beyond to make sure they were updated on my situation. By the way, the staff followed up after each procedure to make sure I was feeling okay. They care about your well being and want to make sure you are 100%. Later on, I called Rachel and asked if they could write a letter about my issues so I could send to insurance. Sure enough, the office quickly followed through and sent me the letter! They are awesome! If you are looking for a fantastic place to get a root canal, look no further!!! read more

Can't say enough good things about this dentist and his skill level, pricing, bed side manner, and flexibility to work you in as quickly as possible. When I had to have an urgent root canal he was there working on me till almost 9pm because I couldn't get off work till 5:30. What other dentist in nyc would do that? You'll be hard up to find any other than dr. alen. Only negative about my entire multiple visit experience is that the entrance to 501 can be a little tricky to find so give yourself about 10 extra minutes to be able to locate it before your appt if it's your first visit. (Tip: if you're facing the library from the orvis storefront go across the street on the right hand side of the library (42nd st) and you'll see a gold entrance about 2 doors down on your left. If those directions make no sense then remember I never promised to be good at navigating, I only promised you would visit and leave thinking that this is the #1 place to have a root canal done in the state of ny. Also, if yelp says they are closed on Tuesdays make sure you call and verify before trying to choose another day or worrying about an appointment being scheduled wrong. Yelp is just not updated yet. read more

Chaim Jakob, DMD - Jakob Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I used to talk with Dr. Alen Jakob about my endodontic retreatment. He is the most knowledgeable and kind endodontist I've ever seen. He answered all my questions and gave me professional suggestions even I didn't make an appointment. And he didn't charge me any fees for the consulting. I wish I'd met him earlier so that I could have my root canal treatment done without any following problems. Definitely I highly recommend him to my family and friends. read more

Dr. Jakob is wonderful! I have had so many issues with dentists in general due to pervious fillings that weren't needed (filled because the dentist wanted money). So when I needed a Root canal I found Dr. Jakob. Even though they have now moved to Brooklyn which is less convenient for me (1hr 30min commute now) I wouldn't go anywhere else. The whole team is very kind and helpful. Dr. Jakob is not only trustworthy, but very talented at what he does. He has all the best equipment, and makes sure you are comfortable. This is where I would send any of my friends and family. read more

Dr Jakob knows his stuff and gives you straightforward honest no-BS answers. Dentist have been too complacent with saying "you have a cavity" so I like dentist who will give you the straightforward honest opinion and tell you when you don't need work and when you do. And he explains it as clearly as possible which I like in doctors. read more

Excellent specialist and very warm and caring. Tried in every way possible to make my visit stress free and non-threatening. He explained everything he planned to do and took his time as well. His dental assistant was very sweet and caring as well. I will need to return next week to complete the work. I would recommend him without hesitation. read more

Dr. Jakob saw me super last second and stayed over 3 hours past closing time to take the best care of me he possibly could. He explained everything to me in clear detail and was super intricate and diligent with his work on me. I had never had a root canal before and was very nervous prior to my visit. He made sure I was numb before he started anything. Again, took his time and made sure everything went smoothly. Also, he just called me as I was writing this review to follow up and make sure everything was okay. What a guy! Would strongly recommend, thank you! read more

I recently had such a great experience at the practice with Dr. Shayna Whiteman. I had an emergency root canal and not only did she see me right away, and do an excellent job, but she had such incredible bed side manner and made me feel re-assured about the procedure the entire time. Highly recommend. read more

I needed an emergency root canal before a holiday weekend. They stayed and completed the root canal without any issue. Same day appointment and state of the art equipment. No issues after the procedure! I can't thank Dr. Jakob and the entire staff enough! read more

Doc Alen is the man!.. honestly 1st time in my life that i don't dread going to the dentist! he is very skillful, i don't remember feeling any pain in any of his surgeries..and trust me mine were extensive.. the view of the office is super.cool and to to top it all..he's just a really cool dude. Easy to speak to, takes time to explain everything, treats you like a human being you know, Staff is nice & helpful as well anyways definitely recommend, Cheers! read more

I had to get an emergency root canal and I called based on reviews. They were very accommodating and I was taken care by Dr. Jakob the next morning. He was fantastic and had a great energy, I trusted him immediately. Dr.Jakob and his assistant were very nice and made sure I was ok the whole time. It was painless. I promise not even the anesthesia injections hurt. It was amazing. He has great hands and a ton of patience. I would recommend this to anybody who needs a root canal. He called me later that night to make sure I was feeling ok. Six months after, I went in for a check up. Everything was great. read more

Came in originally for a consultation with Dr. Jakob, he was really great at explaining what was going on with my tooth. I went in today to get my root canal done, his staff is really great and his assistant is super nice, she even let me hold her hand while he was numbing me up. They also try to help you out as much as they can when it comes to payment, which I really appreciated, not everyone will do that. No complaints so far, super professional and very accommodating. Would definitely go again, but let's hope I won't have too haha read more

Having a root canal is not something you volunteer for, but if you have to do it, choose Dr. Jakob and his team. They took excellent care of me every step of the way. I had a complicated root canal, but didn't know this until I saw Dr. Jakob. After months of seeing specialists and multiple dentists for opinions regarding my tooth pain and consistently clean x-rays, I was referred to Dr. Jakob, who was able to fit me in for a consultation on the same day. I explained my issue, after a thorough examination and CT scan, he was able to determine the problem. I needed a root canal, and it was complicated. He informed me of the risks as well as the likely outcomes, and I appreciated his candor. He treated me like a human being, which is important. My dental insurance was out-of-network for his office (yikes!) but Dr. Jakob and Rachel worked out a plan with me because they actually care about their patient's well-being, and empathize with the emotional distress associated with costly procedures. (To be clear, his fees for root canal procedure are average for NYC. If you're reading this, then you likely live in NYC and we just happen to live in a place where everything is expensive.) Rachel is wonderful, and she really went above and beyond to make me feel cared for and to help me out. Dr. Jakob informed me this would be 2-3 appointments, he's very committed to making sure things get done right the first time. He's highly skillful and attentive to detail, qualities that are important in choosing an Endodontist. The procedure went well (thanks to his meticulous care) and tooth was saved in two appointments. Yippee! (I did have a previously treated tooth that needed to have retreatment. He explained my scans to further help me understand why he was recommending this plan, and I opted in so I could keep my real tooth. That procedure was also successfully completed in 2 appointments.) Throughout all of this, he's communicated with my dentist and kept her informed. The office went above and beyond to make sure that the appropriate parties involved were updated, and to make sure I was feeling okay (emails from his office checking in on me, quick responses to my requests for letters to my insurance company, etc.) I can't say enough good things about Dr. Jakob and his competent team. They have my recommendation for anyone in need of a root canal. *Bonuses *Nice view of Bryant Park while you get work done *They played music during the surgery read more

Root canal with a view Dr Jakob was extraordinarily personable and professional to deal with, he went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and insurance when i needed an urgent root canal. I also appreciated him taking the time to explain the procedure clearly and answer all the questions i had leading up to it promptly, even on his day off. The procedure was done with no fuss or discomfort in one visit at a very reasonable price, all with a lovely view of the NYPL read more

I highly recommend Dr. Jakob and his staff. They are all extremely knowledgeable, accessible, caring, and make it easy to schedule appointments. Very professional, polite, positive and down to Earth person, makes you feel at home, not intimidating, very friendly. He takes his time to explain everything. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Jakob to anyone! read more

This place is a scam. They don't tell you that you have to pay cash until you go there and sign everything. They want you to file claim with the insurance. Poor or horrible customer service. Doc does everything. Billing... read more

I never knew going to the dentist could be so smooth. The time you schedule your appointment for is the time you see Dr. Jakob. He walks you through what he needs to do and how long it will take. Plus he let's you know what to expect after the procedure. Lastly, if I could I would easily trade in my regular dentist for Dr. Jakob. read more

Integrity, warmth, & quality work = trifecta! I was having pretty serious tooth pain & figured I'd need a root canal - unfortunately not my first rodeo. I called Dr. Kaplan's practice after reading positive reviews & was scheduled very quickly to see Dr. Jakob. He was kind, listened intently, and even worked with me on financing since I am currently without insurance. The reception staff was actually very pleasant too! In addition to being an all around good guy, he did a very thorough job, taking the time to examine several things before making a diagnosis and beginning work. And the work was intense - but successful! He even referred me to a regular dentist who I now absolutely love (Dr. Ziselman - 5 star review to come =) Root canals are no joke, but this experience was as positive as can be. I would highly recommend/return to Dr. Jakob without a second thought. read more

After going to the same dentist for my entire life, I have finally decided to branch out and am so thankful to have met Dr. Jakob and his team. Root canals are never an easy or fun conversation but Dr. Jakob and his assistant Tamta make it a very pleasant and calming experience. I've had two root canals in the past with the exact opposite experience so you can take my word for it! Wish I found him sooner! read more

Dr. Jakob Allen is an amazing Endodontist, his office is very conveniently located off Park Avenue. I came in with a really bad tooth and he was able to make it all better. He came highly recommended by my general Dentist and I can see why. He is patient and really takes his time to calm my anxiety. He explained everything very thoroughly before proceeding with my Root Canal. I would refer him to all my family and friends if they're ever in need of a Root Canal! read more

I had my first root canal with Dr. Jakob and am very happy with how it went. His bedside manner is wonderful, he explained the process clearly and was very easy to talk to -- as was the entire staff. I had minimal discomfort after the procedure, nothing like what I expected, just a little tenderness but it was negligible and didn't even last a day. I highly recommend Dr. Jakob! read more

Dr Jakob did a great job with my root canal. He was very explanatory before he started (and during) which was great since it was my first time having major dental work. Quick and painless, highly recommend! read more

I was referred to Dr. Jakob for my root canal and could not have been more pleased. Incredibly nice staff, fantastic view and a painless procedure. He is very calm and collected which I appreciate in a dentist and was able to fix my problem right away. 6 stars! read more

I hope you don't have to have a root canal but if you have to, get it done by Dr. Jakob. The root canal is the only procedure that he does, so I had to go to a general dentist to get a crown. My general dentist was extremely impressed by his work and he said, "I have been pretty confident and proud of my root canal skills but his work makes me so humble. I almost feel bad to put a crown on this masterpiece. I would refer my own family to him if they needed to get one done." Enough said! The funny thing is that I ended up seeing Dr. Jakob because the two previous dentists(one endo and one oral surgeon) couldn't definitively say exactly what was going on with my tooth and were hesitant to do anything except for prescribing me some painkillers. Unfortunately, this left me with another night of excruciating pain that could not be tamed even by Vicodin. But fortunately(???) this all led me to Dr. Jakob, which I am ever so grateful for. read more

I had the wonderful good fortune to have Dr. Alen Jakob as my endodontist last week. I was given the office name from my dentist as they have weekend hours and I was in terrible pain. Thank god someone works on the weekend ! I had a reinfected root canal that blossomed into one nasty abscess. I was in excruciating pain on a Saturday and woke up Sunday looking like I had a grapefruit inside my right cheek! I called the office and they told me to come in right away. Then I met with Dr. Jakob who took an x ray and proceeded to show it to me and explain how past root canals can get reinfected and that my abscess needed to be drained and all. He was very knowledgeable and spoke in laymans terms, clearly and succinctly. He then proceeded to drain the tooth and clear out the root canal and whatever else they do with infected teeth. When I was done the excruciating pain was gone and over the next few days my face went back to normal. Dr. Jakob is a wonderful young dentist - smart, talented, and with an excellent bedside manner. He is very likable and professional. I was referred to Dr. Kaplan who wasn't working that weekend and ended up having Dr. Jakob. I'm so glad I did. Nothing against Dr. Kaplan as I never met him but I couldn't imagine getting any better care than I did. His assistants were absolutely lovely and the staff was helpful and pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Jakob. He is what we wish all medical professionals would be - great at what he does and with a great bedside manner ! Valerie S. read more
