Dr. Fife, and Abby took such great care of my 14 year old daughter!! Their bedside manner is simply amazing! They spoke to her, not about her to me, but directly to her. They explained everything clearly and put her mind at ease. Abby offered her a blanket to be cozy, and a movie to watch during the procedure. Dr. Fife was such a calming presence. Friendly, professional and he was so fast! My daughter said it was nearly painless. This provider is not in my network and therefore was quite expensive.... WORTH EVERY CENT!! The care we received was priceless! read more

As someone with pretty severe dental anxiety, I was extremely nervous when I arrived at Creekside Endodontics. From the moment I walked in, though, I felt supported. The receptionist was warm and helpful, and Abby (the dental assistant, I believe) was so friendly--she made the transition into the procedure much easier. She even provided a blanket and gave me two stress balls to help calm my nerves, which was incredibly thoughtful. Dr. Zhuk made my root canal the best experience it could possibly be. He took his time, explained everything clearly, and really helped ease my anxiety. I especially appreciated how he honored my requests--like letting me wear my AirPods and making sure I didn't see the needle. Those small acts of kindness made a huge difference for me. I'm incredibly grateful to the whole team. They turned something I was dreading into a manageable, even positive experience. read more

mis read an email on original yelp post. Service was fine, the "receipt" for the additional charge could be clearer. read more

10 stars if I could!!! Staff were of great customer service and informative. Dr. Zhuk was exceptional, informative, explained every detail of procedure for my son to comfort his worries. I highly recommend this office for any dental procedure you might have. Definitely will be requesting him for any future issues my family and friends might have. read more

Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief... All of these people can have major life impact on us all when we need them. Ok...maybe not the Indian Chief:). But I am sure you can relate with the "impact" statement. When you are told you need a root canal and you have never had one, your mind may conjure up all kind of scary thoughts. At least mine did when a loved one was given the diagnosis. Fortunately, a close friend had also recently been told by her dentist she needed a root canal and was referred to Troy Hull, DDS, of Folsom, Creekside Endodontics (He only performs root canals.). She went in for the evaluation and was prepared to have the surgery the same day. However, after the 3D X-ray was performed in the office and read by Dr. Hull, she received some great news. He told her she did not need a root canal! (This is why the 3D imaging is critical in root canal diagnosis.) She was happily relating the experience to me and talking with such confidence and enthusiasm about Dr. Hull and the entire office staff so I decided to check him out on Yelp. Yelp had quite a few reviews from patients treated by Dr. Hull and the other office Endodontist. All 5-Star! I read every review and after the final one I knew this was the guy! Procedure time came and we arrived to a clean, sterile office with masks required whether vaccinated or not. Liked that for sure! Professional, yet friendly, Sheila provided check-in (She also assists Dr. Hull during procedures). She put me at ease immediately. Sheila took the patient back for the 3 D imaging of the tooth in question. And soon after brought me to the procedure area where Dr. Hull was reviewing the X-ray with the patient. Soft spoken and calm, he was explaining in detail and showing on the imagery why the root canal was necessary and what he would be doing during the treatment process. Immediate relief for the patient and me. Anxieties disappeared. I must say, the flat screen TV on the ceiling and personal head phones for patients while undergoing treatment is an awesome distraction too!!! Less than an hour later Dr. Hull is reviewing the follow-up plan to be performed by the regular dentist which included removing the temporary filling and replacing with permanent filling. 100 % confidence in Dr. Hull! Excellent credentials, answers all questions to your satisfaction, incredibly kind and has a high-level preforming office staff. May I also say all charges explained in full before the procedure. Thank you, Gina, for explaining all the insurance mumbo jumbo to me! Appreciate you! This is the kind of "impact" outcome a patient deserves! A successful one! Here is to hoping you never need a root canal! But if you do you know who to see. My #ThankYouThursday2022 review, gratefully, goes to Troy Hull, DDS, MSD, at Folsom, Creekside Endodontics! Thank you Dr. Hull and staff for so graciously serving our Community. read more

See all

Beautiful office and the staff were all very professional and worked so cohesively on my root canal, from start to finish. Dr. Fife was great and explained everything he was doing beforehand, which for me personally, put me at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Fife and his team! read more

The care was amazing but I have a big problem with the front desk worker, Stephanie. From my first call for the appointment, she seemed rude and short. Then, after receiving care, with my mouth hurting I was met with more attitude while trying to pay. I had an issue with my health savings card not being available yet to swipe, so I asked about how to go about paying the invoice via my health account the only answer she could muster was "idk, I've never done that before," with a lot of attitude and not even a hint of wanting to solve the problem. I then even told her that her attitude was extremely unhelpful especially during a time when I am experiencing pain and needing care. I told her that even if she really didn't know how to help, that a simple attitude change or even saying something like: "is there something I can do to help?" Would go a long way, but she got mad when I suggested she try to be helpful. Unfortunately I'm tied into this office for the care I am in the middle of receiving but I will be letting my referring dentist know not to send me to this office again. A real shame, because Dr. Cameron Fife and the assistant did an amazing job with the dental work I came in for. read more

Sending a huge "Thank You" to Dr. Cameron Fife and his wonderful staff at Creekside 2 Endodontics in Folsom. Dr. Fife's kindness and knowledgeable information helped to calm any fears and or angst I was feeling when I arrived. I am not from this area and am absolutely grateful for all of the assistance and care I received from Dr. Fife and his staff. Again, Thank You for your kindness and the beautiful job I received while taking care of my root canal issues. I asolutely recommend Dr. Cameron Fife and will return for any proceedures I may need in the future. :) Sincerely, Karen Coelho read more

Yes, it is more expensive. Yes, its well well worth it! The best dental experience I have ever had. Dr. Fife was very kind and explained why they needed to do the procedure and what was going to happen. He made sure I was doing ok since I have a lot of anxiety with root canals. VERY LITTLE PAIN! It's literally been 4 hours since my procedure and I'm writing a YELP review. Thank you Dr. Fife and staff! read more

I love it when I can give a great review on Yelp, and if I could give Dr. Fife and his team at Creekside 8 stars I would. I was not looking forward to needing a root canal, and psyched myself out for undergoing a difficult procedure. But the minute I got into the care of Dr Fife and his team, I was immediately put at ease. I was given an education on the procedure (which I so much appreciated) and expectations were set clearly. To my utter surprise, the procedure was completely painless (other than a tiny amount of pain getting numbed up). And Dr. Fife worked quickly and efficiently in the procedure and I was amazingly relaxed during the process. All I can say is if you need a root canal, go here. End of story. read more

They deserve a six-star rating! I went in for a root canal two days ago, and the experience was exceptional. The team was incredibly patient and professional, explaining every step in detail and listening carefully to my concerns. The entire process was quick and painless--I couldn't have asked for better care. read more

I was amazed by Dr.Zhuk's professionalism and ethical treatment. He took time to explain my condition and the necessary procedures when needed. I highly recommend Dr.Zhuk and this office. read more

Just the very thought of getting a root canal freaks me out! But everyone here from the front desk to the assistants to the doctor himself was extremely kind and professional and helped to ease my anxiety. The root canal itself was amazing, as far as root canals go lol. I didn't feel a thing and am so relieved it's over! Thank you everyone at creekside Endodontics! read more

Dr Fife did an amazing root canal on me. Was the quickest, easiest, pain free RC I've ever had. He was polite and professional and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend him for any root canal needed. read more

What an incredible experience. I am such a chicken in the dental chair. I was so scared of my upcoming appointment, I almost cancelled due to anxiety. Dr Hull and Dr Fife are top notch endodontist and their staff is so kind and they show so much care and compassion for their patients. I came out feeling great, pain free and good about my treatment I received. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a root canal. Thank you Creekside Endodontics read more

When in need for a root canal, I highly recommend this office. Great customer service with a highly skilled team.

Friendly very caring staff. Dentist addressed all my questions, almost before I asked. Most professional atmosphere I've experienced in awhile. read more

I had to go in to get a root canal today 10/11/22 and as far as root canals go, this was actually a good experience. The staff are very nice and explain everything they are doing and there is a tv on the ceiling to watch while they work on your mouth. I watched a little bit of Seinfeld but decided I probably shouldn't be laughing so I switched to 80's music videos. I was comfortable, at ease and the doctor was a cool guy. Overall a very good experience and if I ever need work done in the future I will be coming here. read more

I had the best experience here! The staff are experts in the industry. I needed a root canal after many days of suffering. I didn't know it was a root canal problem until my dentist sent me here and they saw me immediately! I couldn't be more thankful for this group and being pain free! thank you everyone! read more

Thanks for the great service & experience! I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff & Dr. :)

Dr. Hull and Dr. Fife are the best endodontist in the world. The entire team is caring, professional, and incredibly supportive.

Creekside Endodontics has been our family favorite for years, Dr Hull is brilliant. He's professional and well trained, his staff are kind and inviting, and always greet us like we're part of the family. Nobody likes a root canal, but if you need one I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Dr. Fife and Stacy were above beyond. They made sure I understood every step and would not be scared. Stacy gave me a warm blanket while I was getting surgery. How thoughtful! read more

Wow.. Great experience . Very professional and well prepared..Very thoughtful and engaging...I felt confident in the quality of care i received..I would highly recommend this particular establishment... read more

Just had my second root canal. This place is great. Everyone is friendly. Dr fife is awesome. I Highly recommend him.

I had to get a root canal today (12/22/22 - Merry Christmas) per the recommendation of my excellent dentist (Dr. Wadden, Cameron Park Dental). As far as root canals go, this was actually a very good experience. Dr. Hull (w/ assistant) did the root canal after thoroughly numbing my jaw and gums. He explained what they were going to do, turned on the overhead TV for me (Seinfeld), added a head set, and got to work. Before my show had ended they were done. I was a little sore, but not bad at all. Amazing... After the procedure, Dr Hull thoroughly explained what he had done/accomplished, showed me the xrays of my completed root canal, gave me some after-care instructions, and let me know that his staff would be contacting my regular dentist to finalize the capping of my tooth. I was very impressed. Much better than my last root canal. Highly recommended should you need this service. read more

Should be zero stars. Their waiver states the they will not be held responsible for any negative outcomes of their work. When I refused to sign it and went to a different place that I felt comfortable with, this office still charged over $200. I was there about 10 minutes. Unethical, literally go at your own risk. read more

Ok, if you have insurance. Beware if you don't. Took my husband in for a possible root canal and crown replacement on referral from our dentist. I had to sign an estimate including a $334. Exorbitant consultation fee. We would pay this, even if they couldn't help him. He was in pain, so I agreed. They couldn't help him because the tooth was cracked at the gum line. He needed an extraction, which they do not do. We were there less than 45 min. Yet they charged us $966!! For what?? They said they started the procedure, and thats just what they charge. Unbelievable!! Shouldn't the $ 334. Consult cover that? We still had to pay our dentist $ 250. To pull the tooth. How do these crooks sleep at night? My dentist agreed that the charges were unreasonable, and will not be referring patients to them anymore. read more

I don't leave reviews much, if ever, but there's certain experiences that leave you feeling you need to give one. And, that time is now. I was so impressed with Dr. Fife and how gentle, kind and professional he was today while doing a root canal on my 13 year old daughter. His bed side manner gets an A+ from me, and I feel like I have a high standard when it comes to doctors and their bedside manners. My daughter was never nervous, thanks to his calm demeanor and explanation of what to expect, and she was even shocked at how gentle the "shot" was that he had to give her. He was done pretty quickly and the whole office was very friendly. Thank you, Dr. Fife, for taking GREAT care of my daughter today and having the whole experience be a pleasant one! I hope we never need another root canal in our family's future, but if we ever did, we will most certainly be back to see you! read more

I can't thank dr. Fife enough for taking care of my daughter's tooth. One of the roots canal Specialist recommended extracting her permanent tooth without even looking at it. Dr. Fife made sure to check if the tooth was still alive and did a special kind of filling on it. Today we had an appointment at her primary dentist and he mentioned how great of a job dr. Fife did. I will tell everything how awesome dr. Fife is. Dr. Fife, thank you again!! You rock!! read more

First off let me start by saying I hate going to the dentist's office, dislike needles and try to avoid going, I get really nervous and will usually ask for the Nitrogenous or something to make me pass out. They made me feel like none of that was needed! I went in yesterday for a toot canal treatment and I didn't think I was going to go through with it because of the pain but with Dr. Hull everything was quick and painless. And I woke up this morning and don't feel a thing, as if it never happened! And have not needed a single pain killer of any kind! It's a little far from my area but was well worth the travel and if I ever need another root canal I will be going back (lets hope I don't thought). Best Specialist to go to in my opinion, your in good hands! Thanks! read more

Although I hope to never have to see these people again(!), I have to given them five stars. I am a giant big fat chicken when it comes to dental work and these folks treated me with patience and kindness, not like the annoying chicken I'm sure I was. First of all, Dr. Fife and the assistant (Crystal, i think!) were awesome. Very gentle, explained everything, friendly. Secondly, this place has a freaking t.v. on the ceiling! So I was able to kick back with headphones and watch some King of Queens while getting my tooth drilled. :) Now root canals are very close to being the most annoying thing on earth, but these guys made it.... Not nice.... Let's go with "un-miserable". I mean, we're still talking dental work after all! :) read more

Just had my root canal. Tiffany and the staffs were wonderful. Dr Fife was very thorough and very nice. He was excellent. I was very comfortable and there was NO PAIN! Great job and excellent office. read more

Dr. Fife and the whole staff was courteous, kind and very professional. They put me at ease as soon as I landed in the dental chair.....boy did I need it I was nervous! I had root canal done and it went extremely well... no pain during the procedure and very little to none after.....thank you.... you all are great! read more

The very thought of undergoing a root canal procedure can send many people into fits of fear and distress. If you place yourself in the expert and gentle hands of Folsom Endodontics, fear not! Dr. Fife has, over the years, performed TWO root canals on me, and on neither occasion did I experience the slightest bit of pain or discomfort. These folks know what they're doing. There's a reason why, to date, ALL of Folsom Endodontics' patients who post on Yelp feel inclined to award the clinic five stars. read more

While the office does not specialize in treating children, Dr. Fife did a fantastic job on my daughter's (age 10 at the time) root canal. After months of severe pain, multiple calls to the pediatric dental office, and several other doctor referrals and visits, the pediatric dental office finally referred her to Dr. Fife, who informed us the tooth did not form properly, resulting in an abscess. He also let her know she didn't do anything wrong and the abscess was not her fault. The entire procedure was relatively short and done with local anesthesia. Recovery was fairly quick with little pain and no complications. The truly impressive part is that Dr. Fife and the staff were incredibly kind and gentle with my daughter, who had been through so much. I would definitely recommend Dr. Fife! read more

Ok sometimes we have to write bad reviews but this is not one of them. Getting a root canal is something we all cringe about but I have to give credit where credit is due. From the moment I entered Dr. Fifes clinic to the moment I left he and his staff were very kind and professional. They explained every step of the process of a root canal and made sure to address any concerns I had. There was absolutely no pain during the procedure. As a matter of fact I watched the T.V. Above and had to refrain from laughing during a Friends episode. Even though Dr. Fife has performed thousands of procedures he made me feel like this was going to be his best. I would highly recommend it his clinic if you are in need of Endodontic services. read more

Dr. Hull is THE BEST. I had my first ever root canal a couple of weeks ago. I was so scared! I didn't know what to expect. I had zero pain during the procedure and zero pain after. He explained every step thoroughly. He does such great work and made me feel very at ease. The entire staff was great. I will only go to Dr. Hull from now on. Amazing! read more

The best experience in a dentist office, everybody was great, I even felt at sleep for a min. Great job to Dr. Hull and the team, excellent. thanks you so much. read more

What to expect when your expecting... a root canal. I recently got my first root canal. There are a lot of scary stories out there, but I wasn't too worried because the referral I received to get a root canal was by Dr. Koehlander and he has proven to be an excellent reference over the years. He referred me to Cameron Fife at FOlsom Endodontics. Still there are nerves that go with a first time of anything... especially dental work, which by fiat is a unpleasant experience. Even if it isn't... the mental images we all get for root canals and any sort of drilling going on... in your mouth is uncomfortable at best. Just the sound of dental equipment is horrifying to many people. So, if you are having a root canal - here is what to expect: 1) You will have to get a recommendation letter from your normal dentist to come here. I don't know if they accept walk-ins, but I am sure they do. They only specialize in root canals. 2) You will have an "inspection" appointment where they will check the teeth causing you pain. If you are in a lot of pain they can get you some pain killers (Thank God!) They will get you a date when the root canal can be done. 3) On the day of my appointment I stretched my jaw a lot so they could have good access to my teeth. When you get there they will numb you with shots and let that settle in. They have a TV on the ceiling which is nice so you can watch TV the entire time and try and take your mind off the drilling. Your mouth will be open a lot, but they give you a jaw rest. One gross thing about the procedure is they are drilling out decaying/rotting teeth... which smells really gross. It's your fault... it's your teeth... deal with it! Then after they drill your roots in your tooth, they fill it with goop (very scientific I know) and then cap it off. (Sometimes the cap is permanent or temporary... they'll let you know which and if you have to see your normal doctor later to get a permanent filling over the root canal entrance point. They have to take multiple X-rays to make sure they got everything. This whole procedure took about 2.5 hours for me with my mouth open for about 1.5 hours. Few notes: 1) It didn't hurt at all. 2) At first it is awkward and gross feeling to have so much drilling going on in your mouth. The TV helps a lot to take your mind of what they are doing. 3) They are very gentle. It's nice that this is ALL they do. It's their one specialty. They are good at it. 4) My recovery was swift. I took some ibuprofin for a few days and I have had no complications... pain... not even soreness. I have finally been able to eat ice cream on the left side of my mouth in a very long time... and it was weird without all that shooting pain.... but very nice. Overall a very nice experience. The entire staff is friendly and the facility is new and top notch. Having a root canal isn't something we want to do.... but are forced to do. If you go to Folsom Endodontics you are in good hands. read more
