So grateful for my care at Endospecialists from Dr. Oza and Nenita. I was referred to Endospecialists for a root canal on my molar. Getting a root canal is never fun but Nenita and Dr. Oza really made it such a good time. Highly recommend them for any dental work. Thanks again for the care you guys have given me. Cheers! read more

I went to Endospecialists for my root canal, and I was so happy with the experience! I was a little nervous at first, but the whole team made me feel comfortable and at ease. They explained everything clearly, from the procedure to the cost and insurance and I didn't feel a thing! Dr O'Callaghan was very thorough, and it didn't even feel like I was in the chair for long. I was a little tender afterward, but Advil and Tylenol have been helping. Now I'm all set and scheduled for my new crown! This is the best team! I highly recommend them. read more

My experience with Endospecialists in Oakland was great. Dr. Kim walked me through the root canal procedure and got me out of there.

Great experience from start to finish. From the assistants at the front desk to the actual visit with the dentist. Everything was explained, what I should expect with the dental experience and also the financial cost. I never thought I'd say this, but I had a great experience with the dentist. If you need dental work, this is the place to go . read more

Modern Dentistry at its best. Nice facility with what seems to be the latest in Dental technology. The dental assistant was friendly and attentive, and Dr. O'Callaghan explained the procedure thoroughly and was very attentive to my comfort. All in all, one of the best dental procedures I've had read more

I know when most people hear that they need a root canal, they think it's one of the worst things that could ever happen. But that was not my experience. Dr. O'Callaghan, who examined me and determined that I needed this, was kind and professional. One of her associates did the procedure which turned out to be a textbook and uneventful case. Dr. O'Callahan made me feel that this guy was someone she had ultimate confidence in, which was also reassuring. They got me in quickly, as I was leaving for a conference a few days later, in their pleasant Hayward office. Their Oakland office is in one of the cooler buildings in town. Good teams all around! read more

I am so grateful and deeply thankful for the expertise, skill, and talent of Endodontic's specialist Dr. Priya O'Callaghan, www.Endospecialists.com located in Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Hayward office locations, provided me. I had an extremely difficult case, where I had 5 canals in one tooth ( extremely rare to have 5 canals in one tooth) which were all filled with calcium deposits, and she was able to clean out all the calcium and fill all 5 canals to the tip, and SAVE MY TOOTH. Amazing skill, extreme talent, who is a real expert in her field. She discovered that I had a 5th canal in one tooth after she did the Gentlewave Procedure. She saved my tooth( YEAH), and is simply an amazing doctor. I am told, she is one of the best Endodonist in the Bay Area. I highly recommend her. She has 25 years experience. She is the very best!!!! I specifically wanted her because she had the most experience, so I waited 5 days just to make sure I could get her. It was worth the wait. She saved my tooth. She is an extraordinary talent. Great , great job !!!!! Thank you so much Dr. O' Callaghan for saving my tooth. read more

Very nice and helpful staff. Dentist was kind and very gentle with me. She always asked me if I was ok. And explained what she was doing.

This place was amazing from the front desk to the Dr they was awesome they did they job

My experience with this Dental team has been excellent so far. Dr. Kalaparthia and her assistant are kind and thorough. By far one of my best experiences in my dental treatment. read more

Wonderful place & experience. Great Dr & staff. root canal procedure went well and painless. unfortunately I did receive a very expensive ticket on my car while the but would definitely recommend them to everyone. read more

My dentist said I needed root canal, phoned Endospecialists, and made me an appointment for that afternoon. Dr. Lisa Siu did the procedure, skillfully and quickly. I had no pain at all. A few days later I returned without an appointment to find out what was bothering my inside lip. The wait time was close to zero minutes. Dr. Kathpalia said it was a canker sore recommending a soothing gel; her assistant applied the first dose. The charge: nothing. Really, Yelp needs to allow 6 stars for exceptional providers. read more

Well nobody wants a root canal, but should you, like me, be unlucky enough to need one stat I highly recommend this shop. Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly staff attend to business right away and Dr Sean & his staff did a fantastic job for me. Prices are high, but it was the mid of what I priced via web/phone search, AND the ONLY shop that got my extremely painful tooth worked on in under 4 days- everyone else had a week before they could see me, and one place was charging $600 over these guys, so I consider myself lucky to have done this work with Endospecialists at 222 14th street Oakland. Five big shiny stars *****I read more

See all

Dr. Kim and his staff took care of me late last week for my root canal. I loved that they were able to not only fit me in their schedule but do the consultation the same day. The building is a little tricky to find but I'm so thankful this place has parking by pulling up to the gate next door. So rare in Oakland! Other than that, I feel like I was in and out in less than an hour for my procedure. Dr Kim answered any questions I had and really took his time. Overall, I would highly recommend them if you are in the market for a root canal. read more

I was referred by my trusted dentist of many years to an overpriced and hyped up EndoSurgeon in SF that was pathetic compared to Dr. Sean Kim (i foudn him after cofniriming he accepted my insurance and checking his State Board and web reviews). I called Endospcialists for an appointment/evalutation and they immediately accepted everyhting i emailed them, and my existing CT scans/xrays from the other sepcialists and my primary dentis. The office staff was easy to work with and conveniently got me in rather quickly and coordinated with my primary dentist and gave me an honest estimate based on my insurance coverage. My procedure was quick/painless, and all explained to me easily in plainspeak by the dentist before/during the procedure. He effectively commuincated to me during the procedure as needed and even drew diagrams for me. I hope not to need an endo orhtodontic surgeon again but if i do, i will come back to Dr Kim. read more

My best experience in a dental office yet! The doctor was able to carefully explain the treatment options and patiently work with her dental assistant to give me the best care possible. Will definitely be referring all my friends who need endodontic work! read more

Dr. Kim saved my tooth! My prognosis was "guarded" and it looked like I might be facing an extraction. But they worked their magic, I have to go back in 3 months but it's looking, and feeling, good. Everyone was super friendly, I was grumpy going in there. I was in a lot of discomfort and they couldn't have been nicer, Jessica and Laura answered all my questions, and put me at ease, even though, honestly, they weren't getting me at my best. I will definitely be recommending Endospecialists to anyone I know that needs this kind of work. They even have parking! read more

Dr. Kim and his team are amazing. I was referred to them from my general dentist because of a bad crown that required a root canal. Dr. Kim explained why I needed a root canal and drew a picture to explain the root canal process. He is friendly, professional and thorough. I went in with extreme discomfort and some pain, and after my first visit there was relief. I have to go back for a follow up, but am glad that was able to see Dr. Kim recently. read more

I had a pleasant experience!... Backstory: My last dental visit was 12 years ago, and it was a traumatizing experience. Fast forward to today, my experience with EndoSpecialists was very comforting. They cared, had great communication, and everything went smooth. I was very nervous going in, but was well taken care of and felt great leaving. Thank you to the whole team! read more

Without doubt the BEST novocaine related experience I have ever had! (Root canal on next to back molar.) I was so apprehensive heading in having heard numerous stories of "difficult" root canals. Dr. O'Callaghan was amazing! Staff was incredibly caring from the moment I walked in the door. Best of all while I DID NOT FEEL A THING, the novocaine wore off very quickly compared to other fillings I've had done. On top of all of this, they actually accepted my Delta Dental PPO! for (which it is currently surprisingly difficult to find participating dentists). Hopefully I will not need another root canal, but there is no doubt that, if needed, I'd return here. Thank you Dr. O' Callaghan and staff! read more

Endospecialists did a root canal on my 80-year-old husband, left the tip of an instrument in the wound, removed it two days later--without prescribing any antibiotics. "Oh, I assumed your dentist had given antibiotics." She insisted he should take Ibuprofen instead of prescribing a pain killer after the second (very painful) procedure. So he ended up in the hospital for three days recovering kidney function. He's being treated for a bone infection in the jaw now. read more

Great offices conveniently located in Hayward, Oakland, Berkeley and El Cerrito! Appointment booking couldn't have been any easier. I was seen at two of their locations, in Oakland and in El Cerrito. Both of these locations have their own patient parking which is very convenient. In both offices, it was the same experience with the front desk. As soon as I walked in the front door, the front desk immediately made me feel right at home. Everything was on time and both were extremely professionally run offices. The offices were very clean and up-to-date with modern equipment. In Oakland: I had an amazing experience with Dr. Siu who greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel very comfortable. Very professional. She took the time and explained all the treatment to me beforehand, answered my questions and never felt rushed. Dr. Siu took my dental fears away and knew I was in good hands to treat my tooth and infection. Her assistant Kenneth was very sweet, informative, professional and took my x-rays. Both made sure I was comfortable at all times. In El Cerrito: I opened the door and was greeted right away by Pablo. I was seen for a re-treatment by Dr. Fujimura, whom by the way has "Angel hands". He was so gentle, I barely felt anything! His assistant Nenita took my x-rays and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I had a fantastic experience with Endospecialist and would definitely recommend 100% to anyone. read more

Couldn't agree more with all of the positive reviews for this practice. I was referred for a root canal, and Dr. O'Callaghan was exceptional - from the complete and effective anesthesia to the expert handling of the root canal procedure, the whole experience was (dare I say for a root canal) pleasant. I noticed other people saying this in their reviews, and I couldn't agree more. If you need a root canal, I would highly recommend Dr. O'Callaghan and her team. Thank you, Dr. O'Callaghan and team! read more

Dr. Kim and his office staff are awesome. I was referred by another dentist when I had a very swollen face and an infected tooth. Who enjoys a root canal? I know I don't. But Dr. Kim made sure I understood what was going on as he deftly worked away. His office has also been prompt to address my concerns after regarding the antibiotics etc. He is really really really good! read more

If I could leave a 10 star review, I would!! I went to get a root canal from Dr. Kim this past weekend and I was very impressed with the service and experience. I have never received such a detailed explanation as to what procedure he was about to do each step of the way, and why he was going to do it. He asked throughout if I had any questions and made sure to clarify any confusion. On top of that, the interior of the Oakland site is great and spacious. read more

I was referred to Dr. O'Callaghan by my dentist, even though I requested someone located closer to my residence. He said she is the best and worth the drive -- and he was right! We thought we were dealing with "just" a failed root canal and abscess, but when Dr. O'Callaghan took new images right before the procedure (on her marvelously high tech equipment), she found that a root had broken and the only option was surgery to extract the shattered root, which she performed right then and there. The surgical site healed well as I followed her instructions (ask her about salt water rinses), and the tooth now feels normal as I chew and brush and floss. I am very happy with the result. Finally, Dr. O'Callaghan is delightfully personable, and her staff is kind, patient, and professional. I highly recommend them. read more

I had a root canal done at Endospecialists. I told the staff I was extremely afraid of undergoing the procedure. In the past, I have had bad experiences. They suggested several things to do to help me. The people who worked with me were calm, explained as they went and waited to be sure that I couldn't feel anything. It was a very good outcome. I recommend this business wholeheartedly. read more

Dr. O'Callaghan is an extraordinarily talented Endodontics specialist, who I highly recommend. I was experiencing all the classic symptoms of someone requiring a root canal procedure. My general DDS helped me to isolate the offending tooth. This particular tooth was treated previously for a root canal by Dr. Stephen Cohen, who literally wrote the preeminent textbook of Endodontics. It was a mystery as to why this tooth was presenting my symptoms. Through Dr. O'Callaghan's intelligent diagnostic procedures and use of very advanced technology, she discovered a small channel within this tooth that had not been treated. She performed a root canal on this channel, and my mouth was restored to perfect health. Thank you, Dr. O'Callaghan. read more

Giving Dr. Priya O'Callaghan five stars here. I had a leaking filling replaced #19 with a cere crown and my nerve would not settle down. I met with Dr. Ocallahan and she took some x-rays and we talked about the options I could wait to see if my nerve settle down, get a root canal or pull the tooth obviously pulling the tooth pain was not high on the list given my circumstance. So I waited, and I waited as long as I could and then I began preparing myself for a root canal. I washed video's, talked to friends, anyone that had experience. I was nervous as I lay in the chair but Dr. O'Callaghan is a total PRO! I was sharing play by play photos with friends and recognized the steps. It was amazing! Dr. Priya and her assistant where so in step with one another they hardly had to say a word! It was like a well oiled machine! I hope I don't have to have another Root Canal - EVER but if you do see Dr. Priya!!!! Thank you Endo Specialists read more

I have had the most rewarding experience of being cared for by Dr. Samer Hejlawy. I was not excited to hear that I needed root canal therapy. The first endodontist that I saw through my regular dentist tapped on my two back teeth, then asked me which one hurt. Even though I wasn't sure, he recommended a root canal procedure on tooth #14. Ugh. I was referred to Endospecialists. They made special arrangements for me because of past dental trauma. It is there that I met Dr. Hejlawy. During his extremely thorough examination, including tapping, heat, cold, poking, and measuring, he made a discovery. It was tooth #15 that had the problem, not #14. The procedure wasn't fun, but Dr. Hejlawy was very, very conscientious to save my tooth, the one that actually needed the root therapy. I can not imagine what I would have done if the wrong tooth had been worked on. My tooth had several serious issues, and Dr. Hejlawy went above and beyond to get me completely healed. Thank you for your efforts! read more

I went in to have an infected root canal irrigated and repacked. There is a temporary filling which my regular dentist needs to remove, and to add a new post in order to give the tooth strength. Since I already have two implants which were costly and problematic to do, I am hopeful that the problem will be solved and I will retain this tootj. read more

I am very proud to be the first person to review this Endodontist. Lets start from the beginning. I put off getting my root canal for along time. I had an appointment for the following week but I awoke at 2 am on Sunday in more pain than I can imagine. I just so happened to talk to a family friend who has a friend who is a dentist who they then went out of their way to find me an appointment for the very next day. This all happened between 4:30 PM and 5:00 PM. The appointment I was able to get was here at 8:30 AM the next day. I could not be more appreciative or thankful to the staff here. I wanted to take them all out to dinner by the time I was done. My tooth is fine and I barley had to take the pain meds they gave me afterwards. Dr. Nesari was my doctor and he had great I guess you would call it "head side manor" for a dentist. I knew they were busy that morning too and the assistant was so sweet to me. There is something that everyone should know who goes there. In the building their in they are on the 10th floor. They are not the dentist office on the bottom floor in the corner of the building. When I first got there I thought that was the office and it was closed and I almost had a nervous break down combined with my throbbing tooth pain I totally lost it. Needless to say my crying moment when I finally got to the office didn't phase them at all. I was embarrassed but they didn't seem to mind and actually apologized to me for the confusion. Even though I was the obvious bumbling crying, rotten toothed ass. The entrance is on Broadway in a small hallway (elevators) to the side of the other dentist on the corner. Remember that. Thank you, thank you thank you to the staff of Endospecialists. read more

Endospecialists - You can see the door leading to the elevators on the left. Go in there to get to the office. - Endodontists Near Me - Oakland, California

Dr Lisa Siu was amazing. I needed a root canal done urgently and it was painless. I highly recommend her.

I was very pleased with the professional team that performed my first ever root canal. Dr Sean Kim is very professional and has all the high tech equipment. I highly recommend them. They were able to see me on short notice during the Christmas holiday season. read more

Hello I am the one who wrote the negative review on this place a while back. As of March 2020 my tooth (the one that got worked on) needs to be pulled out because they cracked it down to the root. The space where the tooth is is damaged, the nerve next to the tooth is damaged . My jaw aches daily . To top it off Schulz the doctor who worked on my tooth retired . Thanks Endospecialists !!! read more

I had an amazing experience with Dr Kim and all his staff at both Berkeley and Oakland offices. They were helpful, accommodating, competent and caring. Dr Kim was thorough in his exam and performed an excellent root canal. My whole experience was about as good as you can get given root canals are not what one looks forward to. They made it a very good experience. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this office, Doctor kim, and staff. All employees I encountered were professional and friendly. The specialist who performed my root canal was the most gentle and precise I've ever had. Bonus points for the emotional service animal a Maltese mix I think was named Toby that's little smile just lights up the office. Everything about this office is on point- clean- calming, great views of the bay bridge from the dental chair, and NO WAIT! They can see you right away and work around your schedule. So the BEST thing about this office (well it's not the best best bc I like the people and their work best), but the most rare thing happened to me: I got a check in the mail from the office- refunding me some money bc the insurance claim came back higher than estimated. No scamming me here! They didn't just brush it under the rug, and keep The extra like my former dentists have done, they sent me the money!! Honest and trustworthy. Great results. I wish I could use this Specialist and his office as my full time dental staff. Thanks to the hygenist and front desk staff as well. You guys were swell! read more

I was having sever tooth pain and was having difficulty getting an appointment . I called Endospecialsts and they were able to book my appointment the same day, within 2 hours . The staff was incredibly friendly and kind as was Dr. Kim, making sure I was comfortable and not in any pain. read more

I was referred to Dr. O'Callahan for a root canal. She told me I needed one; my tooth was not telling me that. I got a second opinion; I did not need a root canal. That was three years ago; to this day my tooth is fine. Go elsewhere for ethical treatment. read more

I had a root canal done by Dr. Priya O. and the work was excellent. I waited a few days to see if I was going to have any issues before writing this. The staff was very friendly and professional from the moment I entered the office. The Dr. explained the procedure to me and the office manager explained all the billing before the procedure started. I guess the ultimate compliment is that I would use them again. No regrets. read more
