Dr. Shinn at Endodontics LA was an absolute lifesaver. I was in pain and he took me last minute right before Christmas, I'm so thankful! He quickly diagnosed the issue and did my root canal with skill, calm, and care. Beautiful office, wonderful staff, free parking. Dr. Shinn is genuinely kind and pleasant. He followed up the next day to check on me. The whole experience was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Dr. Shinn and Endodontics LA! read more

George Shinn, DDS - His business card - Endodontists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I highly, highly recommend Dr. Shinn ! I have very low tolerance for pain & I can't stand needles! I felt nothing ; saw nothing. He was like a magician to be honest. And his entire office staff was so kind and supportive! Don't think twice about it - go to Dr. Shinn if you need a root canal! Thank you Dr. Shinn! read more

I had a wonderful experience (funny to say that about a dental visit, lol). From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly professional, warm and helpful. What truly stood out was how thorough and attentive Dr. Shinn and his dental assistant were. They took the time to carefully review my X-rays with me, explain the procedure in detail, gave me options and made sure I understood what to expect. I never felt rushed and they welcomed my questions and the casual conversations we engaged in. I was further impressed when they call me after the visit to see how I was feeling after the anesthesia had worn off. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for quality care and a team that genuinely cares about your well-being. read more

This guy is really good. Did two root canals. Efficient and friendly office, amazingly thorough, very careful to minimize pain. Virtual no pain afterwards. I had two other root canals in the past with other specialists and Dr Shinn is on a whole other level. I really can't recommend Dr Shinn highly enough! 5 stars plus! read more

I had a root canal - one of those molars all the way in the back behind another tooth and at an angle - on Wednesday morning at 10:30am and made it through a 1/2 shift at work that afternoon. Imagine my surprise when I got home to see my mom just ending a call with Dr. Shinn, who has called to check on me! I was so surprised and pleased that he cared enough to call when he had deserved his time off after my procedure. While root canals aren't fun, the alternatives are worse, so Dr. Shinn and his staff made the situation as good as it could possibly be. He explained everything that was going to happen along each step of the way and wasn't disturbed when I asked questions or for procedures to be clarified. He also explained my x-rays to me. There are some documents to review, billing and medical consent that you have all the time to read and ask questions about. There were of course... Shots... He does them very well and the topical anesthetic they rub on the inside of your mouth over the shot area is nice and strong. I would say nothing felt worse than a bee sting. What I 100% appreciated is that after the first round of shots he came in and asked me if I was numb - guess what? I was but not enough. He gave me another round of shots that made everything afterwards more than bearable, almost dare I say it? Comfortable. Because of the tooth location things took a little while. Sr. Shinn also took X-rays during the procedure, given how far back my tooth was this just reinforced the fact that he pays an insane attention to detail and made sure the procedure was done accurately. All in all I am extremely satisfied with his professionalism, compassion, patience, and also the help of his staff. It's Friday and I have already referred him to two people. If I am ever unfortunate enough to need another root canal - remember he's an endodontist, a dental specialist - I would go back for his services in a minute. read more

Recently a friend with a swollen jaw asked if I knew anyone that's had a root canal. He's scared of dental pain. I once had a weekend dental emergency, my jaw was swollen and tender. I didn't know the cause I had never had what was later diagnosed as needing a root canal. I suffered until Monday. 8:30 am I waited in my care until my primary dentist arrived. One look she knew what it was. She referred me. I had to get there in less than 15 minutes if I wanted to be seen. Rush hour traffic, crazy, I made it. The staff was waiting and put me in a chair right away while I filled out paper work. A couple minutes later, I met Dr. Shinn. All smiles, cheerful greeting. That helped a lot. Also the office is beautiful, the music was soothing along with a tourist view of LA. X - Rays, I have a severe gag reflex. Dr. Shinn said you won't experience that here. He went all the way to the back of my mouth where I normally gag and I did not gag. He would not reveal his secrets. he just laughed and said that's 47 years of experience to develop unique techniques. The same for numbing. The needle did its thing. I'm totally not lying, all I felt was a tingle/pinch. I told my friend he must share his root canal experience from Dr. Shinn. Dr. Shinn, this is a public apology to you. All the while I thought I wrote a review after my experience. I'm glad in this case, it's never too late. It's not my thing to write reviews or take surveys. Especially surveys, because companies are so cheap, they want your experiences to help raise their profits but offer no incentives to customers. A review is different, it's like our civic duty to alert our fellow citizens to what's GOOD-BAD and UGLY. Dr, Shinn, you are definitely the GOOD GUY! Dr. Shinn, to you and staff., All the best. read more

Root canal check up went great! Excellent professional friendly care. Love the view! Dr. Shinn is simply amazing.

I was referred to Dr. George B. Shinn by my primary dental office and decided to contact his office first. My experience was quite disappointing. I called around noon on Wednesday, 01/16, during normal business hours, but only reached the office's voicemail. When I called again two hours later, I spoke with Michelle F., the Office Manager, who was working from home and came across as very unprofessional. Despite being in pain and needing urgent dental care, I scheduled an appointment. Michelle mentioned she would email me some intake forms and then requested my Social Security number to verify my insurance before confirming the appointment. I felt extremely uncomfortable providing such sensitive information over the phone to a stranger, especially since I had never visited this office before. Michelle's attitude was more like a pushy salesperson than a professional healthcare worker. She claimed that Dr. Shinn was voted the best endodontist in the "United States of America," a fact I couldn't verify online or from any other reputable resource and he could do most things that other doctors can no do because he has been practicing for 50 years which also makes me a little nervous. She also insisted that if I did not provide her with my Social Security number over the phone, I couldn't be seen by Dr. Shinn. What if I was paying cash? What an ignorant person. Overall, my experience with Dr. Shinn's office was frustrating and unprofessional. I would not recommend this office based on my initial interaction. If I were Dr. Shinn, I would find more professional staff to represent my business. More than anything, it's their loss of revenue and potential referrals. If you are referred to this business, please find another endodontist as we have plenty of qualified options in the "United States of America". It's sad because I really wanted to support my own people, but I will be taking my dental needs to another practice that doesn't operate this way, as most do. It sounds like they are hungry for money and not providing an exceptional patient experience and dental care. read more

The dentist who did my crown told me that whoever the endodontist was who did my root canal didn't file it out enough

Very knowledgeable dentist. Very caring and so was his staff. Root canal went well and I experienced no pain.

The procedure was pain free from beginning to end. Dr Shinn explained what was happening before he started and during my treatment. I would definitely recommend Dr Shinn to anyone. read more

Where do I start. I was having issues with a tooth that had a prior root canal and I was recommended to see Dr. Shinn. I was able to get in quickly. Upon my arrival the the lady at the front desk was so sweet and pleasant. She had me fill out the standard new patient paperwork and took care of contacting my dentist and getting my insurance information. I recommend getting in 10 minutes early to square this away and park. I didn't have a wait and was taken to my little exam room. My room was beautiful and man did it have a great view. The assistant came and took a digital x-ray. Than I got the pleasure of meeting Dr. Shinn. Let me start with I'm nervous dental patient as most people are. He was warm and very kind. He listened to my concerns regarding my little tooth. He examined the area and took notes. You could see that he genuinely cared and want to make sure he took his time to figure out the game plan. He was able to pin point the issue and went right to work. The man has hands light as a feather. Remember I'm a nervous person, he administered the numbing and I didn't feel a thing. At that moment I knew everything was going to be okay. He talked me through the process and patched me right up. He sent me home with some medication and care instructions. I woke the next morning with ZERO pain!!! I didn't have to take any pain medication after the first day. Than to top up off the day after first thing in the morning his receptionist called to check how I was feeling. It's great to know that there are places out there that still care and have exceptional service. Not to mention honesty not taking advantage of people. Let's just say this I hope to never have to use his services again LOL but if your in the Los Angeles area I highly recommend seeing Dr. Shinn. I live in Las Vegas but made the trip as he was highly recommended to me. It was worth it. His office is located on the 12th floor. There is a parking structure within the building that's ample. If your lucky you might be able to snag street parking, but keep time in mind as street parking is only two hours. Thank you to the staff and Dr. Shinn for being great at what you do! read more

Dr. Shinn and Brenda are beyond amazing. I get anxious when it comes to any dental work and also have TMJ - they were very patient and understanding with me during both appointments (I had 3 root canals). Denise called to check on me after both appointments as well, even though it was later in the evening she took the time to assure me that I should call if I have any pain or questions. I highly recommend them!! read more

Dr G Shinn is the absolutely BEST by far in the business. I woke up in tremendous pain from a root canal performed by my dentist over 4 yrs ago. Unfortunately she wasn't able to get to the tip of the root so she referred me to Dr Shinn. Let me just say that this man is AWESOME!! He came in on his off day to assist me as an emergency because i was about to die from excruciating pain, i mean really really bad pain. Him and his wonderful assistant Brenda took complete care of me the entire time. This man KNOWS his work and seems very passionate about making sure the outcome was nothing but the best. I was more than pleased and my advice to ALL if you need root canals performed PLEASE SEE A SPECIALIST because although it can be performed by you dentist, it's not the same experience. Pricey but it's a price i would pay ALL DAY. Thanks Dr Shinn/My girl Brenda! read more

Dr. Shinn and Brenda are the definition of pure care and love ! It's hard to find a specialist who's as thorough as Dr. Shinn. He will take time his time to listen and address any concerns you may have. If you have an endodontic treatment that needs to be done, please don't hesitate and schedule a consultation with Dr. Shinn, he's truly talented ! read more

Dr Shinn is the best! He saved my tooth after having two excruciating root canals by prior Endodontist that left me in so much pain. I googled Dr Shinn and made an appointment after reading his background and reviews. Although I had a troublesome tooth, he did not give up on saving my tooth. He was honest with the assessment of my tooth and recommended a treatment plan that worked! I am very happy with the outcome of my root canal. Brenda, his assistant, is kind and skilled. She put me at ease and with Dr Shinn explained what they were going to do before proceeding with the treatment. I appreciated their transparency during my treatments. Glad that I found Dr Shinn . Plus, he has a lovely office. read more

Dr Shinn and his staff are THE BEST!! My son accidentally had his front tooth broken off at school, and needed an emergency root canal. Westchester Pediatric Dentist referred us to Dr Shinn. I was frantic with worry and fear because I was coming to the realization that my son needed a root canal and replacement tooth. His staff was on point! Reception immediately called my insurance and figured out what was covered and what I would owe. Meanwhile, the smooth R&B/blues playing throughout the space began to relax me. As the Doctor and his assistant examined and prepped my boy for his first oral surgery- they pulled up a chair for me to be close enough to my son to ease both our anxiety, yet far enough to be out of the way. I thought this was very thoughtful and kind. And I knew this was not his typical practice. After everything was finished, I looked at the before and after X-ray's, showing a perfect root canal and fill. Dr Shinn is the MAN, and his ladies are ANGELS!! Thank you so much!!! read more

I am not one to go online to express personal feelings, but Dr Shinn has "cured" my pain when my very own dentist of 13 years gave up on me. He methodically asked me questions and wrote down his findings and from this he was able to take away my pain that was increasing for 3 months. It started going up towards my jaws and to my ears! I got to the point where I was having a difficult time to swallow, then ended up in ER! All in all, Dr Shinn took away my pain and absolutely recommend him as he really cares! Also, his assistant Brenda is great, makes you feel so comfortable and make you laugh at the same time! His front office staff is just as nice and caring......No more fears knowing Dr Shinn is around, he's the best ever! read more

Great customer service and bedside manner. Dr. Shinn's team was very patient with me while discussing payment options, explaining my x-rays and the planned course of action, and soothing during the procedure when I was clearly feeling uneasy.

Received a referral by my dentist to see an endodontist for a consult and a possible re treatment for an infection from a previous root canal...Can you say nervous??? I felt a little more at ease after the office manager Barbara shared with me a little background on Dr. Shinn. Barbara scheduled an appointment the next day. Within an hour or two she contacted me with the out of pocket cost based on my dental insurance. Dr. Shinn was beyond amazing!! He thoroughly explained all my options and gave me his recommendation. I was also very comfortable during the procedure and Brenda his assistant was great! Overall I had a great experience! read more

Look no further this is the place to go. I am so so happy we found them and only wished he was a general dentist for all my dental needs. read more

My dentist referred me to Dr. Shinn for a root canal. Unfortunately, he isn't in my dental plan BUT I was so impressed with Brenda, the first person you come in contact with at his office. She is efficient, compassionate and really cares about the patient. She could tell I was extremely apprehensive and took the time to "talk me down" from my anxiety. My feelings are this....if you have a front office team with this type of compassion,the Dentist/Doctor usually is leading by example. Thanks again to Brenda !!!!!! Wish I was going to be able to see Dr. Shinn read more

This Doctor is awesome! He is gentle and very skillful in his hand, and explains very thoroughly what's going on throughout procedures. He does not rush nor juggle you w/ other patients. Latest technology! The staff is just wonderful. Such positive attitudes everyone had. I moved here recently and was unsure where to go for a complicated root canal issue. Best of all, I am a cash patient and his practice does not overcharge as I have had that experience before. Fair pricing! I decided I will always come back here for my dental needs! It is also a immaculate design in there and very clean! L.G read more

I had a root canal done (twice on the same tooth) with a different dentist that was causing me an enormous amount of pain. I called Dr. Shinn's office in search of a specialist and explained what was going on. They were able to schedule me in the same day and by the next morning, they came in extra early to accommodate my schedule and work on my tooth. Dr. Shinn had to undo everything the previous dentist had done (it was not done correctly) and redo it. I was there for quite a few hours with a very hot painful tooth. Dr. Shinn and his staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and take care of me. I truly can't thank Dr. Shinn enough for taking care of my tooth and taking the time to explain what was going on as well as calling to check on me the next day. I highly recommend him and would absolutely see him again. read more
