A few years ago I came in for a molar root canal. After it was completed, I expressed to the doctor that I was still in pain/sore. To be honest , it felt rushed and I knew I was going to have issues down the line . Even when she did the tapping /dry ice test for sensitivity it hurt before/after we did the procedure . She instructed me to take anti inflammatory pills. As weeks passed by the pain would come and go randomly. I would mostly chew on the opposite side unless it's something softer. Fast forward, I had to get a different root canal done and because my general dentist was next door; I decided to give it another go but requested a different doctor (not good with remembering names ). She did an excellent job on my other tooth. I then expressed to her that I'm still in agony from the other root canal so she inspected it but could not find anything wrong! Even my general dentist didn't see anything. At that point I was defeated and just had to suck it up . A few months ago I called back to get it checked out again but was told that doctor was no longer there and that I would have to pay for the visit and procedure if they find the root of the problem. How is that fair especially since I spent so much money?! Yesterday and today is the worst it's been as for pain level so I had to take ibuprofen . read more

This is the first time that I write a review in public, but I seriously must let everyone know how this Endodontic manipulates payments to a patient. 1. Overcharged a diagnosis payment to a patient This Endodontic (Contemporary Endodontics, Katy) overcharged me with diagnostic treatments, Cone Bean CT, to me for $250 instead of claiming to my insurance (Delta Dental). They are supposed to submit the payment to my dental insurance, but they charged me $250, so they can get more money than the insurance payment ($160). I had to verify the payment with my dental insurance and talked with the office manager (Karla) to submit the claim to the insurance. * Updated on May 18, 2022 (Service on February 23) Even though Delta Dental Insurance had issued a check for the claim, the dental office has not refunded my payment $250. I had to call more than 5 times and spoke with Karla, office manager regarding the refund, but it is not resolved it yet. 2. Abused a Code with a dental treatment to a patient This endodontic (Contemporary Endodontics, Katy) also overcharged me with a dentist treatment (Code: D3331) for $180. I had researched about the treatment that shows as a "Revenue Enhancement Code" according to the American Association of Endodontists. (https://www.aae.org/specialty/communique/cdt-codes-d3331-and-d2955-use-dont-abuse/) * Updated on May 18, 2022 (Service on February 23) I spoke with a representative in Delta Dental Insurance, the rep. said the charge above (Code: D3331) $180 should not be charged. It is in the part of root canal treatment that I paid for. I had to call more than 5 times and spoke with Karla, office manager regarding the refund, but it is not resolved it yet. 3. Wrong doctor's name on the claim statements Dr. Assad was an endodontist who had treatment for me, however, all my clam statements show that Treating Provider is Su Fong D Wan. 4. Hygienic status in the room and problem with X-ray The lounge was ok, but I was very uncomfortable when I got in the room for the treatment because the equipment had a lot of dust, the wall has dirty spots, disorganized equipment surrounded the room. The main problem I had; the assistant had to take an X-ray several times because the hand X-ray was not working. It was very painful to take an X-ray multiple times from a soared tooth (#3). read more

Contemporary Endodontics Katy - Endodontists Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

The front desk was not friendly at all I didn't like them at the first day for exam , second day as soon as walked in they asked me for pay money before doctor work on teeth. I did not accept and they didn't care. No respect for customer at all. read more

Apparently this place had a fire and they have re-opened. The entire office smells of smoke damage and there is soot on the walls and ceiling. Servpro was there cleaning and the entire place is in complete disarray with buckets, mops, rags, and boxes sitting around throughout. What is really unbelievable is that they are open and seeing patients in this mess! I can't believe the owners would not have it completely cleaned and painted and refurbish/replace smoke damaged items before re-opening. I don't think this is at all sanitary and was actually kinda creepy. read more

Thank you very much to Dr. Assad! I had a rather complicated root canal on a molar that I should have had treated a while ago but kept putting it off. Dr. Assad did an excellent job in one visit! Only had minor soreness for about a day after treatment. read more

Very expensive dentist . Prices are ridiculously outrageous . Please shop around before you believe any reviews .

Update: Received a call after posting negative feedback. They refunded me my money and talk to them about my experience. Went there after being referred by my local dentist to get my root canal done. I am in between insurance due to a new job and would get my new insurance on the 1 of oct. There was no working with me, they took an x ray and the endo specialist did not even look inside my mouth at the tooth. Was in a lot of pain and was told to continue to taking antibiotic but infection grew and had to go the UT emergency clinic. ( where they actually helped me with my situation) this place charges me 241 dollars for 10 min of my time and a x Ray. I do not know the quality of the work but service to someone in pain was not great. As a customer paying out of pocket you would wish to have gotten better customer service to help with the condition I was in. I would recommend looking for another place if you could. read more

Wonderful place!! I'm so glad my dentist referred me here. I was super nervous about getting a root canal but the staff quickly turned that around. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. It was nice to watch a movie during the procedure and they also had headphones so I heard the movie not the drilling. The procedure took less than an hour. I really had no pain. It's been two days now since I had the root canal still no pain. Prior to the root canal I couldn't eat on that tooth for over two months. I was in pain for a long time but to scared to do anything about it. But now I know exactly where to go. Definitely, I recommend this place if you need a root canal. read more

My first visit to Contemporary Endo was sheer happenstance; I had a bad toothache, I worked less than a mile away and they accepted my dental insurance. Loved that the office was shiny and new and had sugary sweets, snacks and drinks to fancy us before the drilling starts. What I appreciated most is that they are a great group of professionals that walk you through the endo treatment process from xrays all the way to your follow-up appointment. The gentleman up front (forgot his name) filled me in on the financial details before he work started and he was spot on with the pricing and informed me on what to expect when I got my EOB. My little dirty secret is that I used to be an insurance underwriter so I understand the network pricing and hoopla that goes on behind the scenes and I was glad to see that they are legit and billing patients correctly and doing it right. Next, there was a friendly dental assistant (obviously Im not good with names) but he made sure I was comfortable in the chair and they even have a selection of movies to watch while you're getting work done. Overall, Dr Wan and his staff were great! My root canal got done, my pain relieved, I was billed properly, and I left with a can of soda and a smile on my face. Thanks guys!! read more

1000000 STARS!!!! VERY IMPRESSED! Wonderful Service! My appointment was made same day due to some extenuating circumstances. Even so, Dr. Tang was wonderful. I am very impressed with the professionalism of the staff and their willingness to ensure that I was comfortable. There was no wait and no fuss. I highly recommend Contemporary Endodontics. I had so much anxiety going in but was immediately put at ease by the comfortable, clean, and extremely modern facility and warm and attentive staff. The work was done super fast, with relatively no pain. Dr. Tang was extremely thorough and efficient. Before I left, I was informed, in writing, how to manage my pain and information about my next steps. What impressed me the most was, a few hours later, Dr. Tang contacted me to ask me how I was doing. While I do not expect this above-and-beyond service, this level of excellence of care sets Contemporary Endodontics Katy into a class by itself. Thank you thank you thank you Dr. Tang. read more

My 1st impression of this dental office is a good one and also wonderful experience with doctor Amando Meija and staff team, esp Amy. Doctor really took the time to explain to me thoroughly with images on TV and terms a regular patient could easily comprehend. Update: 2nd visit to the clinic is even a better experience with Dr Amando Meija who did such an outstanding job with my root canal. From being very gentle with the initial shot injections, to taking time to thoroughly paint the picture to me with the cause, procedure details, etc so as a patient, I have a much better understanding when walking out of there after the treatment. Amy at the front desk is also extremely courteous and professional with the paperwork and billing explanations. Oh yeah, courtesy beverages while waiting in the waiting is definitely icing on the cake. Definitely recommended with their doctor(s), staff and equipment technology! read more

Dr. Tang is a very thorough and great Endodontist! I walked out with no pain and later after the numbing has warn off I'm in absolutely no pain. The team at Contemporary Endodontics were extremely kind and caring about my treatment. Although being a referral from my general dentist she performed an evaluation prior to performing the root canal to ensure I was getting the correct treatment for the issue. I would highly recommend the team at Contemporary Endodontics for any endodontics need. read more

Yelp did not let me down. I did a lot of research and came across Dr. Wan's reviews at the Galleria location. After all the feedback, I knew I had to see him. When I called, they said he's at this (Katy) location for next availability. As many other people have reviewed, this root canal was insanely easy to "not suffer" through. It was a complex back molar root canal, which also means four "inserts." Dr. Wan's techniques and bedside manner are the best ever!! I was comfortable the entire time and had complete confidence in him. I hope to not need another root canal, but would totally come back here without hesitation. I wish he did other things like crowns and fillings! But at least I got him for root canals! read more

This place was referred to me by my dentist to do a root canal and I did it with Dr. Salmeron. She was very nice, knowledgeable in her field, and I barely felt any pain! The whole experience was wonderful right when I stepped into the office. The front desk (Craig) was also very friendly and helpful. Even at the end, I did not know I was done with my root canal because I was too busy watching my movie hah. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is trying to find a great dental office. read more

Update: The front desk clerk tried to hold my review as collateral for the return of the difference of the overcharge to my insurance. I did call and ask my insurance to see if the office could have charged a specific amount to my insurance, they said yes. It was the offices fault for not putting in the CORRECT amount after the money I put down BEFORE the procedure (I put down 500) They over charged my insurance by 425 dollars over what I owed. Even after showing them this and having the bill from my insurance the front desk REFUSED to give me my difference until the owner got involved. Sad to see that it requires the owner getting involved to get a return in the over charge to a customer. This place is new hopefully they learn this simple task of inputting specific insurance amounts as to not over charge their customers' insurance. read more

If I could give more then 5 stars I would! Thank you so much for dr. Wan. I was taken in & seen ASAP same day as referred to them, I was in tremendous amount of pain and they took care of me and made sure I was as comfortable as I could be & for being 30 weeks pregnant, they did an amazing job! They did both my root canals in an hour, they were right next to each other so it was much easier. You all are great people, everyone I came into contact with was delighted to help & treated me so nicely. Thank you so much for the great experience & thank you for taking away the worst pain of my life!!!!! read more

Contemporary Endodontics Dr. David Wan was very professional, experienced, explained and gentle. The assistant and front desk staffs were very nice and helpful before and after my procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. David Wan for any of your root canal needs. read more

As you can imagine, I've been in an incredible amount of pain recently. Dr. Salem was my third opinion in 1 day! That's 3 different doctors doing xrays, medical histories, oral exams including touching my fractured tooth and banging around on it. By the time Dr. Salem wanted to do this, I was terrified and actually cried before she tried to put cold stuff on my teeth. I felt stupid for crying but she was so reassuring and she explained everything step by step and her plan was clear. This isn't my first root canal but it's the first one I've had when I was in so much pain. I've always been able to schedule my root canals but they were able to fit me in on the same day my dentist wanted. Even though my root canal isn't finished and I have to return next week, I have complete faith that Dr. Salem will be just as great. I don't feel amazing today and my face is still swollen and throbbing but it is actually better than before. Oh, and you get to watch a movie while you're laying down and getting worked on. Complete with headphones and a flat screen TV on the ceiling. read more

BE VERY AWARE OF THE LADY UP FRONT! I JUST left this office and I am shocked by what took place. I had a very clear conversation with this lady (I think her name was Amy) on how my payments would take place. We discussed her taking a specific amount of money off of my Flex card and a specific amount of money off of my debit card. She confirmed that she understood this conversation. Literally 20 seconds later I received a text from my bank stating that a significant amount of money was taken out of my personal account (the amount that was supposed to be taken from my Flex card), AND she maxed out my Flex card. Once I asked her about this, she told me that she thought I had said something else and begin to give me many excuses as to why this happened. After noticing that this lady was very deliberate in her actions, I asked to speak with the owner of this practice. She tells me that she is the owner, which is why she can approve the refunds of her "mistakes". So I ask to speak with the Doctor who was to conduct my root canal to make him aware of what just took place.The Doctor lets me know that the owner of the office would be available in the morning and of course this is when I learned that she LIED once again. I should have listened to the reviews about HER SPECIFICALLY. BE AWARE OF THE LADY UPFRONT. SHE IS VERY UNTRUSTWORTHY... read more

TRAUMATIC Experience! I was referred here by my dentist as they are supposed to specialized in root canal. I have had a couple of root canals before this by other dentist which I have not felt any pain, I am not new to the procedure. I was handled by Dr. Tang. It was my first check up and I thought it was just a check up. The whole process is more nerve racking to me than giving natural birth (that is 2 times with out epidural). Dr. Tang is very clumsy and seemed to not have a control on her hands and movements. She seems to be a good person, very soft spoken but I went to this clinic to see a good and specialized dentist. Here are the facts of my experience: 1. Dr. Tang did the Sensitivity Testing which was painful as it is. Afterwhich she said she will put some topical anesthesia which she did and not even 1 minute, not even numb yet, she has given me an injection. It was very painful that I cried and I begged her to stop. I asked her why I was given the injection and she said she will have to do the root canal for me. That is without asking me prior or even discussing the cost of the procedure. 2. I asked to get the information of the costs and if there was any other dentist that can do the procedure. Unfortunately, none. Thinking I passed the worst part, I agreed that Dr. Tang do the procedure. 3. During the process, Dr. Tang dropped the dental mirror 3 times on my face. 4. The electric drill slipped as she get started to drill the tooth. Also, the drill got entangled on my ponytail. How it happened, I don't know. 5. Every time Dr. Tang moves, the full dental chair I am seating moves. 2 weeks after the whole excruciating and traumatic experience, my tooth started to hurt again. I went back to see Dr. Tang. And she did some testing pressing and tapping... a little grinding and prescribed me to take steroids. After 2 week, no change. Tooth is still painful, I went back again after 2 weeks and she did a CBCT scan where she found that "there is an inflammation in the bone at the end of the root". To say I am disappointed is an understatement. After all the pain, time and $800+. They will have to drill me again to fix it. I would say, each patient may have different experience but mine is by far the worst. Maybe their other dentist or the Owner (Dr. Wan) is good but certainly not Dr. Tang. I will give an update on my next visit and how they will fix my tooth. read more

Dr. Lisa Selem is as good as they get. Minimal discomfort and ZERO pain! A complete PRO! Can't recommend her enough!

Awesome experience. The staff were very friendly & the Dr. was smooth.. My root canal didn't even hurt! Watched a movie from a tv that's hanging from the ceiling (very cool) & was finished in no time. read more

Best Dental experience of my life, everyone was friendly and professional. The best part is that you can watch movies while your being serviced, I didn't want to leave !! read more
