This place is amazing! This was my 2nd root canal my first with Dr. D. First off he actually took the time to listen my issues and address my concerns getting down to the root of the problem no pun intended When it was time to do the procedure for the root canal I was concerned about pain and how long it would take it. He told me prior to the procedure beginning he throughly told me his plan of procedures before he began. When process began it was painless and Dr. d made me feel at ease. The process took a couple hours but it felt like 30 mins. Afterwards a little bit of numbness and soar but not in any pain (He also mentioned I would feel this after the procedure). Highly recommend worth the wait and the traffic time to get there. read more

I think you can tell a lot about a business and Dr. by the receptionists. I've been to Dr. David's a few times. Each time, the front desk is rude, impersonal, and always different people (revolving door maybe). Dr. David is hit or miss. Sometimes he's warm and open to discussing questions. Other times he's cocky and seems very annoyed answering questions. When I asked questions about his findings, findings that weren't obvious, he was short in his answers and kept getting up to leave until I told him I had more questions. He may be good at what he does, but if a dentist has no bedside manners, I will spend the time finding someone else, which is what I did in this case. I won't be returning. read more

Outstanding Root Canal Specialist. I needed a root canal treatment, Doctor David made the entire experience very positive and stress-free. From the consultation to the follow-up, the care was exceptional. The doctor is an expert. It was much quicker and painless with no discomfort afterward. What stood out most was how patiently they answered every single one of my questions. Doctor David explained everything clearly, showed me X-rays, and made sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way--no rushing. Highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. David. My dentist referred me to him to get two root canals due to resorption. I had no clue what that was, but Dr. David examined me and explained in very clear detail what my condition was. I had no trouble getting an appointment, and we scheduled the root canals the following week. The procedure was done very professionally, and I always felt that Dr. David explained things well and truly had my best interests in mind. In fact, when I felt discomfort a couple of weeks after the root canals, he had me visit his office right away without any additional charge. He determined that I should do another course of antibiotics to reduce the swelling, and that solved my issue. While I can't say getting root canals is something to look forward to, having a competent and caring endodontist like Dr. David makes the procedure far less unpleasant. I wish more of my doctors could be like him! read more

I've been to Glendale Endodontics and Microsurgery several times and don't do many yelp reviews, but everyone is so wonderful there, I thought I would leave a review. The staff is so lovely and helpful (Thank you Cat, Brie and Sam) and I can't say enough about Dr. David. Besides being so gentle in his procedures, he is equally as gentle and compassionate with his thorough explanations. He is truly the best! read more

This is the type of place where you're given promises that end up being empty. The front desk staff showed a complete lack of concern for my situation and were more focused on finding a way to make me pay for something I should not be responsible for. This level of service is unacceptable.Getting your teeth fixed should be a stress-free experience. read more

I could not possibly find sufficient words to express how overwhelmingly happy I was by the care and treatment rendered by Dr. David and his staff (Eve, Susan, Kay). A totally painless root canal? I never thought there could be such a thing. Dr. David proved me wrong. I experienced not an ounce of pain, not a second of discomfort. Dr. David's manner, kindness, and professionalism were exemplary. He never seemed to stop expressing his concern for my comfort, while never giving me reason to feel uncomfortable at all. He explained everything he was doing and gave me great guidance. Eve, his "lieutenant" was attentive to my every need, and provided excellent service in the performance of X-rays and CT scan. Susan (or Suzanne) took my phone call, and when I told her of the amount of pain I had been in, she created an appointment for me for the procedure THAT VERY DAY. Everything about the office is pleasant and warm and comforting. My admiration for Dr. David is boundless. Same in regard to his staff, his equipment, his furniture, his parking lot, and his energy (calm and comforting). read more

Updating my review post root canal. I have to say the whole process was relatively painless. It's been a while since I had a root canal, but this felt pretty quick - took maybe an hour and a half. Dr. David said he usually does it in 45 minutes but this was an old root canal, so it took a little longer. I came in, got my temperture taken, given a rinse and was taken into the room. Dr. David and Molly worked on my tooth. He put in a numbing gel on both sides of the tooth. Once it was numb, gave me novacaine and waited until it took affect to start. As I mentioned, relatively painless. He was very gentle and patient. Was done in about 1.5 hours and felt good. Prescribed me some antibiotics and pain medicine. Great dentist office with super nice staff. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. David is exceptional, he has the greatest skill, I was terrified of a root canal and I swear I could've taken a nap when he did it. It was smooth, painless, took like 30 mins to do. I was seeing multiple dentist trying to find a solution to my throbbing tooth pain and avoid a root canal, finally one dentist said, look let's save all this guessing and go to Dr. David and he'll take 3D imaging and we'll know why. I was hesitant thinking they all just do root canals to make money but my dentist said, I like Dr. David because he doesn't recommend any unnecessary procedures like other endos, that sold me. When I made an appt., Dr. David looked at my x rays and found the problem and said it's better to do a root canal on one but the other two can wait and be saved with oral care. That confirmed he wasn't just looking for needless surgery. In addition he took so much time explaining everything to me before and after, he was never in a rush and didn't just make you feel like a number. His skill was also just above and beyond, his Harvard training and depth of knowledge made you feel very secure. I hope I never have another root canal but I wouldn't hesitate going back to him if I had to! read more

I am happy to give Dr. David and his staff 5 stars! Dr. David put me at ease with his calming and attentive demeanor. I felt better about the upcoming procedure after my consultation as he answered all of my MANY questions with knowledge and kindness. I am thrilled with the results and I am so grateful to him....I can chew without pain or sensitivity and frankly I had no pain even when the numbing subsided. If I ever have to have another root canal, I will be much more at ease knowing I can go to Dr. David. His office staff and assistant are professional and kind too. Thanks to all! read more

Dr. David. is phenomenal. From beginning to end, he and his staff explained everything carefully and took great care of me. I have anxiety and after I told him that, he was very clear that he would do everything possible to reduce the anxiety and let me know that I could stop things at any time and we could take things as slow as I needed to. I didn't need to stop but it was good to know that I could. He was knowledgeable and skilled and explained everything very clearly. I felt very comfortable, and I highly recommend him. I hope I don't need to see him again but it's good to know that if I do, I know it'll be a positive experience. read more

One of the best!! I recently had my root canal done with Dr. David who's a board certified endodontist by the way. The procedure went by smoothly and now I'm pain free. This is after two days of sleepless nights with excruciating pain. I wouldn't go anywhere else!!! He is a specialist and should be recognized for his talent!! read more

I had a root canal done recently by Dr. David and, while of course there is discomfort associated with the procedure, overall it was surprisingly painless. Dr. David was very patient with me as I tend to ask a lot of questions. He was very professional and thorough with his explanations. The root canal he recommended did exactly what it was supposed to do. as I am now free of the constant ache that was in my mouth for months. I highly recommend Dr. David and his practice. read more

Went to see Dr. David for a suspected root canal and yes, CT and X-rays and his vast knowledge confirmed it. The procedure was absolutely pain free and his skill in performing the root canal was nothing short of perfect. A special shout out to his front office person, Kat, for her help and friendly demeanor. First impressions are everything to a business and she hits the mark. Many thanks to Dr. David for everything. I highly recommend him for any Endodontics. read more

I was referred to Dr. David Abdelmalak by my general dentist for a root canal. Excellent specialist with great bedside manner. Thank you Dr. David! You're the best! read more

New to California so I had to find a new endodonist Dr. David was amazing relieved pressure and pain and performed root canal. No pain or discomfort during the procedure. I met with them a few days before they shared what I should expect and it went so smooth Highly recommend this Dr and office. The office staff was amazing very personal and very courteous Nice clean office parking in the back read more

I was referred to Dr. Abdelmalak by the dentist because I needed a root canal. He explained everything in detail before doing the procedure. Work was done very quickly and efficiently and even though it's an uncomfortable procedure, Dr. Abdelmalak made the process as easy as possible. His assistant was also very good and together they quickly finished the job. I liked how he would tell me when he took each root out so I knew approximately when he would be finished. His magic hands finished the procedure in an hour and a half, and I was good to go. Although a root canal is something that most of us do not look forward to, it was great to go to a doctor who knows what he's doing and that made me feel at ease. read more

Had I followed this doctor's advice, I would have had a tooth extracted needlessly. I understand there is grey area and varying interpretations when it comes to the body. Dr. Abdelmalak, though, spent about five minutes with me, and seemed just a little over confident when I asked him questions. I therefore got a second opinion, and here I am a year later with that tooth intact. I just yesterday visited the second endodontist who had performed the procedure to save the tooth, and the bone has grown back and I'm all good. Anyone who is familiar with the teeth problems of the elderly knows how serious it really is to pull out a tooth. Find medical professionals who dig deeper than initial assumptions, and trust your gut! read more

If I could, I would give him 10 stars! I've been to so many offices before, but he's the best. He took the time to explain what was wrong with my tooth, he showed me all the pics and answered all my questions. When I got the numbing injection at precious doctor's offices it used to hurt and make me very nervous. But when Dr. Abdelmalak gave me the injection there was no pain. His work was very clean and I didn't have any bad taste or little drilled parts in my mouth afterwards. I was even able to relax during my procedure. Great doctor! Thank you. read more

Wow I can't thank Dr. David Abdelmalak enough! I had so much pain before I saw him and after his procedure it was gone immediately! He was so gentle and fast! I had an emergency appointment that day and he was able to see me on a busy day. He made me feel so comfortable and made sure that I understood what the procedure was going to be like and informed me on what to do for my after care. In addition his front staff was very welcoming and made sure my dental insurance provided coverage for my visit. Shout out to Kat, she is the best! read more

I had such a great experience with Dr.David! He's very quick and efficient and had my tooth fixed very quickly. The office is clean and the staff is very nice. I would recommend Dr.David to everybody! read more

This is the only root canal specialist I would ever recommend and is hands-down the best and most pleasant experience I have ever had during a root canal(and I've had a few). Dr. David Abdelmalak and his staff were so friendly and calming. They explained everything as they were doing it and Dr. Abdelmalak happily answered any questions I had and checked on me constantly during the procedure to make sure I was doing ok. I even learned a few things about my teeth that I never knew! Thanks for treating me so well Dr. David and staff! I can honestly say I am not in the least bit anxious about embarking on my next root canal adventure thanks to this practice! read more

It was a great experience especially since I was apprehensive. Dr David was patient and even though it was not a procedure I was looking forward to, he made me feel at ease and allowed me to take breaks when needed. I highly recommend him. read more

No one "wants" to get a root canal but Dr. David AND his office make it so that you really don't mind! His work is highly skilled and compassionate and so his is excellent staff. True warmth and support from everyone - it's clear that this is a team that's been as thoughtfully put together as Dr. David's talent as a dentist doctor. I felt NO pain. I was living with the need for a root canal for a while and when I left, all good. Great even. Made a bad situation, fantastic but even improving the poor work this one l'il tooth received a decade before. So happy. I no longer fear chewing. :) read more

Dr.David is a wonderful endodontist who truly cares about his patients. He redid my failed root canal (which was done years ago by another dr) and the experience was great. I know no one wants to get a root canal or have to go through the experience but if you do end up needing one, Dr.David is the one to go see! He explains everything step by step and makes sure you are feeling fine throughout the process. 5 well deserved stars for sure! read more

AMAZING Dentist and wonderful staff!!! I don't think this is enough! I went to Dr.David for a consultation for my husband's tooth ! First I am a recent dental school graduate and I know exactly how a good dentist should be ! And this doctor was above my expectations! He took his time explaining the problems giving us treatment options ! And the most important he didn't skip and part of examination he was exactly by the book he did all diagnostic test to come up with proper diagnosis for my husband's situation! I appreciate his knowledge and i will not only come to his office, but I will also refer all patients to him in the future for further root canal treatments ! Irene was with us all the time she was very friendly and down to earth ! The whole staff were very professional couldn't catch all the names ! Also the doctor has a CT scan machine so we don't have to go somewhere else for more diagnostic tools ! And on top of that they don't charge for it if it is part of the consultation!!! All clinic is covid-19 compliant if that is a thing now adays ! Double masks and hydrogen peroxide rinses ! Sanitizers ! It was just a great experience! read more

The easiest and most pain free root canal I've ever had .. Dr David is informative, he explains the entire procedure and why it needs to be done... Dr David is gentle, I had no pain whatsoever, even when he injected the novocaine, i didn't even feel the prick of the needle ... The staff is nice and extremely helpful ... I wish Dr David was a regular dentist as well as root canal specialist ... I highly recommend Dr David ... You'll be happy you chose Dr David and his friendly staff read more

I was referred to Dr David by my regular dentist to finish a specialized root canal procedure to save my tooth. I thought it was going to be expensive.... not only did he not charge me which he could have (it was a very reasonable quote), but he looked at other possible issues in my mouth (ct X-ray) and no charge. He was friendly and very helpful and very very professional . I wish he also practiced general dentistry. I would definitely go to him. His assistant and staff are also to be commended.

While having a root canal is not fun Dr. David and his assistants made the procedure as easy on me as possible. I had an unusual problem during the procedure which was not related to the procedure itself. I had severe back pain when I laid back in the chair. On my first visit the back pain became so bad that Dr David halted the root canal 1/2 way through and told me that when I got over the back pain he would be happy to complete the root canal. Yesterday I went back because my back seemed to be fine. But, as soon as I laid back in the chair the pain returned. Although it was a lot more work for both Dr David and his assistant he did the root canal while I sat up in the chair to minimize my back pain. Great work!!! Although I hope that I never need another root canal if I do I am definitely coming back here. read more

I just had a root canal performed by David Abdelmalak yesterday and it was a GREAT experience (I mean...as great as a root canal experience can be lol). He is kind and patient and explained what he was doing, checking in with me constantly. I have a huge fear of needles and he really took his time getting me through that. His whole staff is great, especially Irene, who sent me a welcome card in the mail and called me to check in with me this morning. Lovely people. I highly recommend this practice! read more

Dr. "David " Abdelmalak and his staff were excellent in helping me resolve my dental issue. During my procedure he explained to me what he was doing and made an uncomfortable experience almost painless. They followed up the next day to see how I was doing after the procedure. I would highly recommend this endodontist if you ever need one! read more

I can't say enough about my positive experience having a root canal at David Abdelmalak's office! I am very uncomfortable with almost all dentist procedures and the doctor and his staff went out of their way to explain the procedure and make me feel as comfortable as possible. I felt absolutely no pain and had no discomfort after the procedure. While I hope to never have a root canal again, if I do, I will be returning to Glendale Endodontics & Microsurgery again! read more

Dr. Abdolmalak isthe best Endodontics that I have ever seen in my entire life. He is very knowledgable and very detailed in his profession. I highly recommend him to everyone. read more

Polite and professional front desk staff, dental assistant greets your and takes you back to office, where she has you rinse with a disinfecting solution. Dr comes in and was helpful with explaining what to expect with the root canal procedure. He's very clear about wanting to make the procedure pain free and notes that one should only feel pressure, not pain. Tells you to raise hand if it's painful so he can give you more numbing agent. I appreciate that, because it's always good to know that a doctor will be listening and will stop if you are uncomfortable. Procedure was done quickly and for me was pain free. Would absolutely recommend to a friend. read more

I was referred to Dr. David by my general dentist for the re-treatment of a root canal. Let me just say he is very nice and pleasant until he isn't when a problem arises.... After my initial consultation with Dr. David it was determined that yes in fact I did need a re-treatment of a root canal on one of my incisors so I made an appointment for the procedure. He re-treated the root canal and after about 2 1/2 hours I was on my way relieved to have the treatment over, he sent me off with 5 days of antibiotics which I took like clockwork and was told that I needed to replace the temporary filling in my crown within 4 weeks and I was able to keep that crown. The root canal re-treatment I had was mid November 2021. After a discussion with my general dentist it was determined I could wait until my insurance renewed in January 2022 to replace the temporary filling so I made an appointment for January 3rd to do so. Cut to about 4 1/2 weeks after I had the re-treatment of the root canal by Dr. David and my tooth just didn't feel right, I still felt an abscess above the root of the incisor so I went back to Dr. David for him to check it out. When I got to his office neither him nor his assistant took a new x-ray of the tooth to see for further and/or not cleared infection. He took a brief look in my mouth and when I tried to show him where the abscess still was above my tooth (an abscess he saw on my initial visit) he rudely told me to "move my hand". Dr. David then proceeded to tell me that since I had not "finished the treatment" by getting a new crown (even though that is not what he told me I was to do after my root canal therapy) that I had not done my part. He even went so far as to tell me that he should not have tried to save my crown and left me without a tooth there which would have forced me back to my general dentist sooner for my "after treatment". I asked him why would I replace a crown and/or the temporary filling if the infection had not cleared yet that seemed counter productive to me. He was VERY dismissive and basically told me that was his suggestion and I left with a very uneasy feeling. Luckily I had the presence of mind to get a second opinion from another Endodontist who confirmed (with a new x-ray) that I did in fact have a lingering infection at the tip of my root (where the abscess still was) and I should have further treatment to clear the infection. I called Dr. David's office to tell him and when he called me back he was rude again reiterated what he said about me not getting a new crown and rudely asked who "this other dentist was". He told me that likely the "abscess" I was feeling was inflammation from not having my crown replaced and perhaps my bite being off. After I listened to him talk down to me he did offer to let me come in to his office for a new x-ray so he could take a look at the tooth and I declined because at this point I did not feel comfortable in Dr. David's care. I am writing this review 6 months after my initial re-treatment from Dr. David because I wanted to give it enough time and see what panned out. I have since had an apicoectomy on the tooth as the infection did not clear and needed further treatment so Dr. David was WRONG and there was more infection in the tooth. Had I followed his instruction and not listened to my gut I would have paid money for a new crown which possibly could have been damaged in the second procedure my tooth required to clear the infection. Long story short if you are a patient of Dr. David's and you have ANY gut feeling that perhaps there is something wrong GO AND GET A SECOND OPINION. Do not let him dismiss you and your health concerns! read more

Dr. David was friendly, informative and did a great job. I would definitely recommend him to a friend!

Everyone in Dr. David's office is so helpful and they make sure that you are taken care of. Dr. David performed my root canal in two appointments that took a short time. During the procedure he checked with me into make sure I was comfortable. My fractured tooth is ready for a crown and the tooth pain I had prior to my root canal is gone. I was able to schedule an appointment in a timely manner and no waiting when I got there. They call the next day to follow up. My son had a root canal with Dr. David too and said it was better than having a filling at the dentist office. read more

They really go the extra mile to make you comfortable and the doctor explains everything well and take his time to answer all questions. Most importantly he is very competent. The root canal was swift and precise with no discomfort or pain. Very glad my dentist referred me to Dr. David and his wonderful staff. read more

I was referred by my dentist to two root canal specialists. I couldn't be happier in my decision of choosing Dr. David. Irene, Venessa and Dr. David made sure I was comfortable and relaxed before, during and after the procedure. read more

The broken dental instrument is still in my tooth and almost every day I think about it shifting and pressing on my nerve. It was so painful it was like electricity going through my entire body. I have never felt pain like that. Two years later I am still so traumatized that I have not been able to go see another dentist. I had regularly gone every six months until this happened. This also happened to another patient. She wrote me and told me same exact thing. This dentist quickly reminded me I signed a waiver of liability. He did not ask me if I was OK but was only concerned about the legality. I am still within the statute of limitations and cannot bring myself to go to another dentist for treatment. I am going to check other complaints for him and I am going to have to sue. read more
