I had a bad experience with a dentist and have had an extreme distrust for mouth doctors ever since. I get white coat syndrome something fierce so every visit is a harrowing ordeal for me. The staff at Issaquah Endodontics were so incredibly kind and welcoming that it really took some of the edge off for me. Dr. Gabel was outstanding. I had to have a root canal done so my nerves were both literally and figuratively wracked. Dr. Gabel said "the best root canal is one you don't feel" and he made absolutely sure I was in no pain at all. It takes a lot to make me calm in this types of situations ever since my previous bad dental experience but he was so cool, calm and collected - it was obvious I was in excellent care. The whole time I was thinking "man, this guy is a pro." He really is. I don't recommend needing a root canal but if you ever do, Dr. Gable is your guy. read more

I have been to Issaquah Endodontics several times and I couldn't recommend them more! From the ease of check-in to the quality of care it is fantastic. I would highly recommend Dr Gabel and his team read more

Check in was seamless. Front desk is professional and attentive. Destiny was my dental assistant today and she was very easy to talk with and again, very seamless with taking X-rays and bedside manner. Dr Tumen performed my root canal. I've had multiple root canals performed by different dentists but never had one completely pain free and so well done. Destiny said the numbing was the worst part and I truly didn't believe her because in my past the procedure itself has been absolutely dreadful but she was, to my surprise, completely right. They have state of the art tools and technology to make the process so smooth and stress free. If I need another root canal, I'm calling them first. read more

‍The BEST! Dr Susan Robert's was so nice and completed my root canal with no pain and soooo fast. Her assistant was also Superior in every way. Highly recommend this office. read more

Nothing's quite like tooth pain so you don't really want to take any chances with your care and potentially exasperate it, right? This place seems quite busy, but it's for the best reason possible for an endo practice. The facility itself is clean, orderly, and organized! As someone who was stressed coming in, I really can attest that the atmosphere made me feel comfortable and a little more at ease. There are a handful front desk/receptionists working here which means there are more people to readily support, answer questions, answer phone calls, and get you checked in/out. They are all so warm, sweet, patient, and possess a great level of details about the procedures. When you've been in debilitating pain for a while, these traits are especially appreciated. I learned that the dentists here each have 2 assistants supporting them daily which allows for a pretty amazing level of efficiency. I had lots of questions, and am a curious person in general, so I had lots of questions that Dr. Roberts was able to answer graciously and in-depth. After spending some time listening to her, I felt so at ease with her confidence and knew she was experienced and very competent. Rylie was the assistant, and she had everything down to a rhythm. The engagement and teamwork between the two were pretty astounding as if they were operating with one single brain. It was both fluid and very friendly. From the way they were talking, I can sense they're both just kind and great people- you know, the type of people you want taking care of you. Dr. Roberts ended up having a few extra post-op x-rays done on me to make sure everything was done to her standards. She apologized for the extended time doing these, but I really appreciate and am grateful she is devoted to her craft and care to ensure she's done her best for me. It's unfortunate to have tooth woes, but if you do need a root canal, this is the place to go for sure! 10/10 would recommend for their commendable service. read more

I had an amazing experience with Issaquah Endodontics. I had a serious issue with a tooth a few days before flying out on vacation. My primary dentist recommended I go direct to an Endodentist as I needed a root canal. I called Issaquah Endodontics on Monday morning and even as a new patient they were able to make space for me by Tuesday morning. I am a particularly high anxiext individual as it relates to dental work. While this procedure is notoriously painful, my experience there was anything but. They made me very comfortable, answered all of my many questions and I had an overall outstanding experience. While I hope to never need another root canal, if I do, this would be the place to go. Dr. Roberts and her team were amazing read more

I had a great experience with my root canal here. I put it off for a long time, some financial reasons and some hesitation due to past experiences with dental offices. The Dr. was very patient with me, consulted with me. I felt she handled my treatment and comfort as a priority. I feel she was honest with me but didn't coddle me and told me how she would handle my situation as if it were her own. The office staff were very efficient. I love the ability to complete documents ahead of time and everything happened in a timely manner. Kirsten the hygienist was very pleasant and the interview/screening went well. I would highly recommend them for more complicated procedures. read more

I needed help with a tooth issue, called and got an appointment within a few days. They called me back and moved me up and got me in 3 days earlier. I had been here over 7 years ago and found the the root canal process as good as it possibly could have been. This time, no root canal, but Dr Gable did find a problem he addressed and I was on my way. I really like this office and make the drive 18 miles to Issaquah when there is another endodontist near me because they are compassionate and try there best to get me seen. read more

I had an emergency dental situation and was sent here from my dentist to handle it, unscheduled. My Doc was Roberts - she was a real pro. They got me in and took care of it - was impressed with the technology and the professionalism and great attitudes of the staff - from front desk to the various levels of support assistants/techs. Turned a bad day into a good one. I'm picky - and I recommend these folks. Prices were about industry average, so I don't think you'll get taken to the cleaners (any more than any other similar outfit anyway!). read more

Frankly, I was amazed that I was able to find someone who could relieve me of the major dental pain I was having late Friday afternoon. With last minute assistance from my "regular" dentist's office (Besharati) I made quick arrangements to jump out of the shower and head down to their beautiful office. Leia--with whom I had spoken per phone--quickly and efficiently checked me in; registration was electronic, yay. Kirstie took x-rays and settled me into a dental chair and then Dr. Roberts showed up. Everybody was masked, so I wouldn't know them if I bumped into them at Trader Joe's. But their friendliness, humor and overall professional demeanor were top of the line. Dr. Roberts showed me the x-ray image clearly demonstrating a nasty cavity (carie) under a crown and explained the alternatives; we decided to try to save the tooth, remove the crown, evacuate the decay, pack it and prep it for return in one month for further "cleaning out" and then place a new crown sometime down the line. I'm writing this the following morning and am so happy I was able to get a decent night's sleep (after the aurora borealis amazed and entertained us). Thanks to all. See you 6/7, and, Kirstie, keep practicing your ASL! Dr. Sandy Rock lbsandyrock.substack.com (link to my memoir of a decade of medical practice in Appalachian Virginia) read more

My dentist has sent me to Dr. Gabel twice over the past two years. Both times, I had a serious problem, and his office managed to see me on the same day. I very much appreciated this man's kindness and expertise. He is in a study group with my dentist, Dr. Bekke, Lifetime Smiles, Bellevue. The fact that these busy men participate in study groups with their peers illustrates their deep commitment to their practice and expertise in the field of dentistry. Dr. Gabel's office is accessible, attractive, and well-run. His manner is friendly, gentle, and reassuring. The first time, he referred me immediately to a periodontist, and his office got me an appointment. The second time, he spent a long time with my problem and then decided that antibiotics would suffice rather than more invasive work. And he was right. I have had many problems with my teeth over the past two years and have encountered a number of dentists and specialists. Dr. Gabel is one of the best. His profile starts with "We are unconditionally committed to providing the highest level of endodontics available anywhere." I can say with confidence, this is the case. And, he is a good human too. read more

My experience at Issaquah Endodontics was seamless! My dentist was a young male (sorry, forgot his name!) and he was great. I have a small mouth with TMJ and the cracked tooth was allllll the way in the back. This dentist was super gentle throughout the entire process. I was so close to falling asleep through my root canal. Thank you, thank you - for the great experience and helping me be pain free. read more

I had a crown that was giving me pain. I went to see my dentist to see what was going on and was told I needed to get a root canal done right away! They called around and I was lucky that Issaquah Endodontics had an opening that same afternoon. This was my first root canal, so I didn't know what to expect. But I'm happy I ended up at this office. Dr. Estrada is very kind and compassionate. I was pretty nervous, but he made me feel comfortable through the whole process. His assistants Tristan and Elecia, as well as the office staff have all been great too. I would highly recommend coming here if you need to see an Endodontist. read more

Just a heads up - this company is not working with people during the pandemic regarding fees needed for services. I was told to "get credit" for a $700 balance. I think this is pathetic and absolutely unacceptable. Everyone is struggling at this time, and there was no offer to work with me at all. The lack of empathy from "Lanie" was reflective of how they run their office. Obviously worried about the bottom line, and not someone's pain or anything else. This was the second time I came into contact with them, and had this type of "could care less" attitude. 2 strikes and you're out. The companies that will survive during this time will be the ones that work with people, the good reviews come from people that are relieved that they are not in pain any longer. Read closely, go somewhere else. Trust me. read more

Dr Susan Roberts was exceptional resolving a complicated root canal likely rescuing the tooth. Further, I don't have sufficient words for her assistant Bayley comforting, confident and cheerful. Understanding a drill was being used, I couldn't have felt more at ease in their care. Special people great at their job! read more

I've been going here for all my root canals for years. They got me in same day yesterday and by the end of the day my excruciating pain from a bad tooth was completely gone! The procedure was nearly painless and quick. Thank you so much for getting me in so quick! I won't go anywhere else for endodontic work even though it's an hour drive from Bonney Lake. It's well worth the drive. read more

These snobs are the worst. I was sent there by my Dentist on a Monday morning with a SEVERE tooth pain that I had barely contained through the weekend with regular applications of Benzocaine. I arrived at 7 AM and they shot a $500 picture of my head. I said, "I know I need a root canal. How soon can you do it?" They said, "Well, we can't do it this morning...you know, '...schedules...'" I said, "Okay, when CAN you do it?" They said, "A week from Friday is open...How's that?" ... I was stunned. I begged them to do it sooner. They checked and said, "How's about a week from Wednesday?" So, even though I was suffering terrible pain, the soonest they had for me was 10 days. I got the work done at Bellevue Endodontics THAT MONDAY at 2:30 PM. A week from Tuesday, I got a notification from them on my phone, saying that I was on the schedule for that Wednesday. These sadists thought I had waited 10 days so they could see me. NOT. My tooth was already fixed. I was only waiting for the crown to come in so my regular dentist could put it on. I texted them "You are fail." And sarcastically enough, I got a response right away, "So, you aren't coming in tomorrow?" Yesterday, I got a letter from Issaquah Endodontics signed by some Doctor. It said, "You have failed to act in a way that suits the high standards of Issahquah Endodontics We will no longer be serving your Endodontic needs." I had already paid them $500 for the picture of my head, which proved to be useless to me. This really happened. read more

Dr. Estrada and his assistant were absolutely amazing! They are kind, thoughtful, and really make sure you are comfortable during your experience. As someone who has had a few root canals at other places and is terrified of any sort of teeth work, Dr. Estrada and his assistant took all of my worries away. Not to mention Dr. Estrada is impressive at what he does. The way he is able to use several small tools on my tooth and do it correctly amazed me! Not to mention I was not very sore or in pain the next days after my 3 visits with him. This tells me Dr. Estrada is very efficient and careful. I cannot recommend this office and Dr. Estrada enough. I will never go anywhere else! Thank you to Dr. Estrada and his team! read more

I'm a new patient here and just had my first appointment. The office staff was very welcoming and friendly. Dr. Estrada was excellent. He assessed my problem tooth and referred me to a specialist to get step #1 taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Estrada. read more

Front desk receptionist I first spoke with was nice. Dr Gabel and his assistant were extremely friendly and made me feel super comfortable. He thoroughly explained what was going on and what steps he needed to take in order to fulfill the objective. I felt everything was done efficiently. Both him and his assistant were super professional and personable. :) I would come again and also recommend to others! Thanks for your help! read more

Great experience with Dr. Backman. He was fast, professional and helpful. I like the location of the office it is very accessible and tons of parking lot space. Will come back here. read more

Completely unimpressed with the professionalism of this office, follow-through, and general courtesy. I would not recommend going to them. There are other dentists in the area that are far better to work with and provide a better level of care. read more

Their professionalism and kindness ease my fears and ended up pleasantly surprised. Highly recommended!!!

After a very disappointing experience with another dentist, Dr. Susan Roberts and her assistant, Desiree gave me excellent care and treatment. They are the best! They are very nice, attentive and compassionate. Dr. Roberts was able to pinpoint the problem tooth which was causing me so much pain and she performed a root canal on it. She was quick and did an amazing job! I also appreciate Desiree for being attentive and caring. The front desk ladies are also very nice and accommodating. Overall, excellent service and experience!!! Will definitely recommend. :) read more

This place is referred by most dentists in the area. For that reason alone, they command top dollars and snappy receptionists. For painless tooth, I was told to go seek advise. They required some fancy X rays costing over $250 that same day, so I just walked out. Really expensive. Be prepared to pay $1,000 or more even with the insurance for any root canal. They usually are very busy and don't act like they have any sympathy or comprehension to why you are there in the Forst place. Even with most current x Ray taken a day before, I was told I need another set of some 3-D x rays, so they dance to their own drum beat no matter how u pleasant that music and dance is. Btw: they demand your drivers license & I can never remember when any dentist or medical provider demanded it. I can only imagine. I felt like I was walking into a liquor store or a pawnshop where they have to know your legal age and the home address. Very intrusive place. read more

When I wrote this review initially I was in the worst dental pain I had ever been in, in my entire life. Now I can without hesitation say that the treatment I receive and have received at this office is second to none; I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone requiring a root canal! read more

If you need a Root canal, this your place and Dr. Bachman is your man. Such a friendly Dr. This is my third with him, painless procedure. Post op went extremely well, have not needed any pain meds afterwards, just a few Advil. read more

Issaquah Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

This business cares most about extracting money from their patients. The website claims that they are "insurance experts", but do not take them at their word if they tell you your procedure is covered. My husband was referred to their office for a root canal, and asked that they check on his insurance coverage. They assured him that the procedure was covered, collected the co-pay for the insurance plan, and completed the work. In a couple of weeks they called to say that the insurance company turned them down because he hadn't met his waiting period for a root canal, demanded payment in full, and kindly informed us that they had no obligation to check on the insurance in the first place. Legally they may not have had an obligation to call on the insurance, but ethically they should not say a procedure is covered and collect a co-pay while giving the impression that they checked on the coverage. By the way, did I mention that their website claims that they are "insurance experts"!? Long story short, their price for a root canal is definitely on the highest end of the scale. I would know, I have had a few over the past few years and checked prices then and after this fiasco. When we questioned the price we were told that they may have been willing to negotiate the price if we had asked before the service was done. Hmm, why would we negotiate the price when they told us that the insurance company is paying for the service? In fairness, the endodontists at this office are really good at what they do, it is just a shame that their customer service skills do not match the skill in which they perform the procedure. We will never use them again. read more

The office is big and plush. The Dr. I saw was nice enough, young, and tended to talk to me like I was a child (I'm 55), I guess it's just his style, not insulting for me just different. When he recommended that I have a root canal redone and then found out from my dentist that I had just had a root canal on that tooth he call and left a nice voice mail apologizing. Nice that the two dentists talked and figured this out before I redid a root canal that had just been done. I probably will never go back just beacuse the entire experience from beginning to end just seemed to be about them collecting money. There are several signs in the small waiting room telling you that you have to pay at the time of service. They called me ahead of time to get all of my information so that they could collect my uninsured portion of the bill prior to my appt. When I got there they did not have a lot of experience with my insurance company so they guestimated how much I would owe before the dentist even saw me. They required I pay it then rather than bill me even though they did not know for sure what I would owe. Today I got a refund check back from them for $7.00 that I now need to take to the bank. The amount they collected from me was $107.00, I would have prefered they billed my insurance company and send me a bill for $100.00, like every other doctor/dentist I see. They had my payment history to draw on from my dentist that referred me to them. Just did not leave me with a warm feeling. read more

Please avoid them, lot of incompetence all around. Doctors, receptionist and billing. Avoid the pain and choose another place.

Dr. Gabel was amazing. This was by far the best dental experience I've ever had and I've seen a lot of dentists. With an infection and root canal needed, I felt horrible and was in a lot of pain. Dr. Gabel made me laugh the entire time despite the pain, gave me super helpful advice for a better dental experience in future (bite guards during procedures are so awesome and every dentist has them) and put me in the best mood. After a root canal! I never thought I'd be able to say that. Cannot praise Issaquah Endodontics enough except to say that I wish they did all procedures because I'd make them my primary dentist and never look back. Loved the staff, the ambiance and the phenomenal Dr. Gabel who should really do part time stand up comedy. read more

I had to have a root canal under a crown to address some resorption found in an xray. Dr Bachman did an incredible job. I was well informed of the risks, options if he could not save my tooth etc. The procedure was over an hour, but I was comfortable and well numbed. This was the only time I have not felt the shots to achieve the numbing. I was fortunate and my tooth could be saved. Extra benefit- I am barely sore, just slight tenderness if I forget and try to chew on that side. All the staff was very professional and ensured that this process was as pleasant as possible. read more

Dr. Gabel is compassionate, caring and someone I trust to work in my mouth and give advice regarding what my next steps are. He listens to what I say, hears my concerns and always finds a way to make me feel like things are going to be ok. I value him, the assistants he works with and would recommend him to anyone who needs a specialty professional for dental issues/ trauma. read more

Dr. Gabel and his team are amazing. I was having issues with insurance and his office manager, Lacey made the process simple and easy for me. She explained my financing options and walked me through the process. Dr. Gabel has done the best work. He fixed 6 root canals from an error of another dentist as painlessly as he could for my husband. He eased the anxiety of the process. I would recommend Dr. Gabel and his office to anyone that needs assistance with root canals. I wish he could be my normal dentist! read more

I was referred to Dr Gabel by the dentist I work for, Dr Rochelle Nguyen DMD, as a dental assistant. I have worked in the dental field for many years but I have never needed a root canal myself, until now. I was thankfully surprised by my experience there. Dr Gabel and his team were warm, welcoming, and comforting. My root canals were completed quickly and pain-free. Thank you Dr Gabel and Desiree'!!! read more

The most incredible and welcoming staff, technicians and doctors. I came in with a throbbing tooth and miserable. When I left there was no more throbbing or pain. I want to thank you all for making me feel comfortable and I knew I was in the best hands. You all go above and beyond to make me as your patient feel like I am your top priority and did not leave any detail out. Issaquah Endodontics is amazing in every way! read more

To be very frank.....I was less than thrilled to hear I needed a root canal!! However, Dr. Gabel was able to ease my anxiety about having the procedure. He was not only professional and efficient but was very personable and kind through each step of my root canal. I highly recommend Dr. Gabel, he was exceptionable and far surpassed my expectations!! One day following my procedure and I'm having little to no discomfort!! Kudos to Dr. Gable and his entire staff! Thank you for making a potentially anxiety-filled event into an uneventful and nearly pleasant experience. (Who would have thought??) With deep gratitude, Sharon Hechinger read more

Thank you so much Dr. Bachman and Kirstie! I was so nervous when I was told that I need to have a root canal treatment! But surprisingly, it was really quick and easy! Thank you again Dr. Bachman and Kristie!! read more

Dr. Roberts performed my root canal this morning. We went through the whole procedure with absolutely zero pain. Trying to drink a cold beverage before my procedure was the most I felt my tooth today. Despite being only a bit anxious I opted for the laughing gas. 0 pain, just giggles, can't beat that. It's only 8 hours after my procedure (the numbness has mostly died out) and I feel way better already. read more

My dentist referred me to Issaquah Endodontics for an emergency root canal when my toothache became unbearable. Dr. Bachman was amazing. He answered all my questions and expertly and efficiently did the procedure. It was not painful and and I highly recommend him! read more
