I was referred to Dr. Niyati Patel of Micro Endodontics for a root canal by our family dentist, Dr…read more Vasavi Chinnam. I had three appointments with Dr. Patel - for diagnosis and X-rays, for the root canal until an infection was detected and medication inserted, and a third appt to complete the root canal a few weeks later. Dr. Patel was quietly compassionate, gentle, professional - and her work was excellent! I'm 87 and have had a great deal of dental work during my lifetime, and this was one of my best experiences! As a result of this root canal, I've had no further toothaches! Her staff is amazing - friendly and very competent, the office is immaculate, and the dental equipment is up-to-date. I highly recommend Dr. Patel.

When we arrived they told us they wouldn't do any procedures that were not covered by insurance…read morewithout discussing it with us first. Then very quickly my son was whisked away for a CT scan and then they old me we'd have to pay $150 for it while it was happening. Frustrating. I called later and complained and they just said sorry. When we went back to the dentist they had not shared the scan and x rays with my dentist as they said they would. On the other hand, my mom had her tooth fixed here and felt she received excellent care.

Dr. Deljoui seems like a competent, efficient and smart endodontist. I'd never seen an endodontist…read morebefore, but I was referred by my dentist. Deljoui was able to image me and then do the root canal the same day, which is hard to find sometimes. I'd heard root canals take like 45 minutes but I was in and out of the chair in less than 20 minutes (I timed it, because I was listening to a podcast while it was going on, and less than 20 minutes elapsed in the podcast). Despite the bad reputation root canals have, the root canal wasn't a particularly scary procedure--very similar to a normal cavity fill in terms of time. Less drilling probably, but more random tools going in and out. I was numb so I just kind of sat there and observed. I was impressed how fast and efficient he and the hygienist were. No pain. I don't think he has the best bedside manner, i.e. he's not particularly chatty, but he's also not gruff or anything like that. He has an aura of competency I appreciated. I would go back to him if I needed another root canal someday. As an aside I got a lot of quotes from different endodonists and his clinic was also cheaper by about $200 (compared to others who took Delta Dental). The other clinics charged more for the imaging component of the exam.

Absolute horrible experience at Santa Cruz endodontics. I was having an emergency because I was in…read moresevere pain for the last 3 days with no way to get any help, after calling Santa Cruz endodontics when my referral was sent over they said they were sorry I was in pain but they would not be able to get me in for 2 weeks! I then had to take myself to the hospital in order to get some pain medication that's how bad the pain was. That hospital bill cost me $500, typically a dentist should be able to prescribe something for pain I believe that if I would have found a good dentist he or she would have been able to prescribe me something to hold me over until our appointment! 2 weeks later I had my appointment and when I walked in they started doing x-rays.. the same x-rays that were done from my referring dentist. And after the x-rays the dentist came over and told me I had to get two root canals because he could not tell which tooth was the one causing me pain! At that point I was really concerned as he supposed to be a professional and I felt under the gun where I had to make a decision of which tooth for him to work on as I'm not made of money and I didn't have $4,000 to just hand over. The dentist was adamant about one of my tooths with a cavity causing me the pain which I completely disagreed with, I mentioned to him that I believe it is another tooth causing the pain and I would like him to work on the tooth I believe to be the problem. The dentist mentioned it would be $900 out of pocket and the remainder $1,000 my insurance would pay for and he mentioned I can do two separate payments of $450 and then I would be paid for only to receive a bill two weeks later for $705. Not only was the dentistry charging me more than what was agreed upon but they were also charging me for the X-ray that the dentist was unable to determine which tooth was causing me pain! Dentist go to school for years and charge thousands of dollars and I believe it is very unprofessional for him to have made me choose which tooth of mine was the one I wanted him to work on and also charge me for the x-ray which didn't even tell him which tooth was damaged. I also mentioned to the receptionist that I felt like I shouldn't have to pay for the x-ray since the dentist couldn't tell me which tooth was causing me pain and got nowhere. I ended up just telling the receptionist I'll pay the whole bill but I am never coming back because that's not how business should work. I would warn anyone thinking of going to Santa Cruz endodontics to think twice about your options because they were definitely not helpful.

It's like a personal concert while receiving the best care in the most amazing tranquil setting with beautiful artwork all around. The doctor and his staff are just incredible! I think he's maybe the fourth endodontist to work on one of my teeth. He fixed all the problems the other guys missed. I had two root canals done by him to fix work that others had done poorly. He's incredibly thorough. The treatment is done in 2 sessions and antibiotics were prescribed in my case. I feel very lucky to live within an hour's drive. I would drive 8 hours to see Dr. Jimenez. Oh, and I almost forgot that he is a magician with a needle - the shots don't hurt. I always ask for extra time and extra shots in the beginning and he was very accommodating and understanding. Thank you! Thank you!

He has perfected painless injections. I was waiting for him to numb me when he told me he would be back when I was numb as I had already been injected. The waiting room always has people who have travelled from out of county to see him as he is known as giving "pain free root canals". Anyone who has a fear of dentists or a low pain threshold should try Dr. Jimenez. He is such a kind human and he will sing as he is saving your teeth. He also gets sent patients that others could not help. The most AMAZING endodontist! AND he sings (off key sometimes)

I was a patient at Seabright Dental for about five years and had many positive experiences there…read more The staff were generally kind, I felt well cared for clinically, and I especially appreciated how personable and gentle my hygienist was. Unfortunately, I decided to leave the practice after receiving an unexpected $164 bill for a March 2026 preventive visit. My routine dental care had historically been covered through Delta Dental. After receiving the bill, I contacted Delta Dental and learned the claim had processed as out-of-network due to the office's change in Delta Dental network participation/billing status. The office explained that they had mailed notice months earlier and later sent a postcard saying Delta Dental was still accepted/covered, but I did not understand before my appointment that the office was now out-of-network with my plan or that I could owe a significant balance for preventive care. I asked for the balance to be waived or further adjusted due to the unexpected nature of the bill and current financial hardship. The office declined, though they did offer a three-month payment arrangement. I appreciate the care I received over the years and the payment arrangement, but I was disappointed by the lack of clear point-of-service communication before receiving care. For patients with Delta Dental or any insurance plan, I would strongly recommend confirming in writing before your appointment whether the office is in-network with your specific plan and what your estimated out-of-pocket cost will be.

I take pretty good care of my teeth, but my previous dentist's behavior was so execrable, and so…read moremoney-grubbing, and his hygiene team frankly traumatic, that I skipped off going for a few years. I never saw the same person twice- it was like he took fresh Cabrillo graduates sight-unseen into his practice, and left them unsupervised to torture people. I was able to leave all of that unpleasantness behind, when a dental-phobic coworker turned me on to Dr. Christie. What can I say? The hygienists aren't representatives of the Spanish Inquisition. They've been in his practice multiple years, and know the art and science of their profession masterfully. After a multiple-year break from scaling, I was so well taken care of by my hygienist that I was still able to eat after my cleaning. It's also great to see a dentist who's pleasant, congenial, and has enough empathy and good sense to keep me coming back every six months. They're great at working with my insurance policy, and when things have gone above and beyond what insurance has paid for my other half, they've been really reasonable about payment terms and arrangements. Sometimes a medical practitioner can be broken by their office crew, but I never get anything but a smile and a good word from Dr. Christie's team. If I ever left Santa Cruz, but was still within a hundred miles, I honestly think it'd be worth the trip to come back to see Dr. Christie every time. Get into his practice now! Keep him rich, so he doesn't retire! My teeth need your help!
