I had a root canal procedure with Dr. Corliss-- two visits-- one in the Wellesley office and one in the Lexington office. Dr. Corliss was excellent. He explained everything to me and was very patient and caring answering my questions. He made the procedure as painless as possible, which I appreciated very much. The office staff in both locations were kind and friendly, and any time I called someone answered the phone. Most importantly, all the pain is gone from my tooth! I am grateful I was in such good hands. read more

Our family is incredibly grateful for the team at Limited Endodontics. Our 17-year-old daughter suffered a traumatic sports injury that resulted in her teeth being knocked out, and the compassion, urgency, and skill shown by everyone here made an awful situation so much easier to navigate. They performed her root canals with exceptional care and took the time to explain every step, reassure her, and make her feel safe during an extremely stressful and emotional experience. Their kindness and professionalism were top notchs, and we can't thank them enough for guiding us through such a difficult moment. Highly Recommend! read more

The best dentist I have EVER been to- and that says a lot (given that I have had a number of dental procedures for a tooth gone rogue) Dr. Velyvis embodies expertise, confidence, professionalism, and kindness and I trust him with my dental concerns. Unlike other dental offices where they try to push for aggressive procedures or unnecessary testing/treatments/imaging, he really thinks through your issue and takes things in a stepwise manner. I know there are a ton of dentists in the Boston area- but this office is one of the best. I would recommend him highly for any root canal, root surgery procedures. OR if you need a second opinion. I feel the practice is honest, and thorough. The office is beautiful and although it's a little far if you are coming from Boston or Cambridge, it is totally totally worth it. They also take insurance. read more

Dr Klein did my root canal yesterday. I went in for a consult. We started there and she gave me options - root canal was the best option. She had enough time in her day that she was able to do the procedure end to end. Today I am 60% better. I expect that to continue to 100% in the next few days. The procedure was pain free and Dr. Klein was communicative throughout the process. Hope I never need another one, but if I did, I would return there read more

I had a filling replaced by my regular dentist and with my luck it got infected 2 months later while everyone is required to stay at home due to COVID-19. Limited to Endodontics were still seeing emergency patients at their Wellesley office. I am so grateful. The office was so professional and took every safety precaution necessary. They had me wait in my car and called me when they were ready as to not have multiple patients in the office at any one time. They took my temperature in full gear when I walked in the door. Finally, payment on the way out was at a distance and they had me read off my credit card number so no to get close to other staff members working. As for my root canal, Dr. Peter Velyvis and his assistant Tina were amazing. Dr. Velyvis has such a calm demeanor. He explains everything so you understand and feel comfortable, and to be honest, it was a pretty easy procedure, no pain at all, he numbs you up good, easier than a regular filling. I cannot thank you all enough, with everything going on in the world, I am amazed the process was so seamless. It has only been a day since the procedure and I feel so much better, I haven't even needed to take pain medication during recovery. Thank you! read more

For months now, my bill has not reflected a payment I made on my account. I previously relayed ion this site how rude this office was to me when I went in for my appointment. And the they charged me $200. for 5 minutes in the chair during which they performed no procedure but just gave me some advice. Today I received a hostile phone call from their biller about sending my bill to collection when they have not even recorded the payment I made. I would stay away from this place and always do your due diligence in picking out any health care provider. read more

I had pain in an unrelated tooth after having a cap done. After several return visits to my dentist, she was at a loss and sent me to LTE. I made an appt w/Dr. Leslie Miller having no idea what to expect. Dr. Miller also could not understand why exactly I was having pain and he too said I had a "unique situation" as the xray read was also unclear. What I appreciated most from from him was no non-sense options: live with the pain, get another opinion from a dr in his office or get another opinion from a different practice I choose another opinion in his office. They discussed my situation in front of me no behind doors conversations. Dr. Miller felt my best option was to get a root canal and he gave me the cost which was all inclusive. I agreed to get the root canal it on the same day, with a follow up appointment and then another with my dentist. Dr. Miller was reassuring, informative, professional, walked me through what he was doing, showed me the x-rays throughout the process and gave me enough novocaine to not feel pain. He also let me know when I could close my mouth throughout the process as I have severe TMJ. It felt like surrendering to someone I did not know or have a professional relationship with, but I was out of options. He let me know he felt strongly this would be my best option to no longer feel pain. I trusted him. The root canal worked!! I no longer felt pain even before the novocaine had worn off. It was one of the quickest decisions I've made and with no regrets. If you have to have one done, I highly recommend Dr. Miller. read more

YES! I conquered my dental fear! (And you can too to those reading this) Holy cow. I was in tears from anxiety leading up to this root canal appointment and the second I laid down and Dr. Velyvis started talking I knew I was going to be okay. I still took the laughing gas, but looking back I probably didn't need it because he calmed me down a tremendous amount. He told me to let him know if I felt anything, so after the initial 3 shots of Novocain I let him I know I felt it (a tiny bit!). We stopped, he put more in, and kept going, only on my command. I can't believe how fast it went by. I brought my headphones, and I think I even fell asleep for a few! I'm so relieved that I went, though I sadly don't plan on hanging out with Dr. Velyvis anytime soon, cuz I will now take better care of my teeth! I recommend this facility, Dr. Velyvis, Genet (his assistant, who was SO kind, careful, and prepped me for a great visit), and the rest of the staff to anyone struggling with dental anxiety. You can do it! read more

There are two things that scare me terribly. Birds and root canals. Have had more than one horrible experiences with root canals. needed to get one in December of last year but decided to just self-medicate and pray it went away. It did not. My dentist said I should go get the root canal. I have been on edge waiting for my appointment and today was my day of reckoning. I had the best experience ever at a dentist today. Dr. Steven Levine was sent down from above. I had ZERO PAIN. None. He continuously asked me how I was doing and told me not to be shy about letting him know if I had any pain. Additionally, Dr. Levine explained everything to me using the X-ray photos to tell me what he was going to do, and then what he did, as well as what he would need to do at our follow-up appointment. i will never hesitate to get a root canal again as long as it is with Dr. Levine. He is my new hero. Thanks Doc! You rock! read more

Dr. Maryanne Knasas Irwin = Amazing! After my dentist informed me that I would need a root canal, I was horrified. It would be under an existing crown and had to be done by an Endodontics specialist. I was referred to Limited to Endo and frankly was very, very lucky. The whole procedure was surprisingly fast and unbelievably painless!!! This is not an exaggeration. Dr. Irwin communicated with me throughout the whole process and actually gave me updates as to our progress (ie. 75% done). The whole office was clean, very nice and overlooks a passing river which adds calmness to the whole situation. I actually had very little to no residual pain or discomfort, as well. It is now three days later and I am still in awe at how smooth and painless the whole process was. Frankly, I've had more painful haircuts! I highly recommend Dr. Irwin. She is amazing! read more

I am not one to use superlatives lightly, so when I say that Dr. Velyvis and his colleagues at Limited to Endodontics are the best at what they do, it's because they earn it every day. The dentists and staff are at the top of their game. They are knowledgeable; they explain what they're doing; they are friendly and personable; they tell you what to expect; and they take the terror out of treatments like root canals. You leave knowing that you went to the right place. read more

After 2nd appointment.... No pain at all... Just a tired jaw due to the amount of time I had to hold it open. Dr. Grayer did the root canal therapy. He was extremely professional. (see my previous post for more comments.) I will recommend him to everyone! And, I will see him for my next root canal therapy. read more

I was referred to Limited To Endodontics and had a wonderful experience in total. Dr. Lara Yeghiasarian (Medford Office) made my root canal experience seem flawless. I can't express how grateful I am as well with calls from Dr. Yeghiasarian. You can tell she has compassion for her patients which in general for me is a MUST. I highly recommend Dr. Yeghiasarian not only for her caring but, for her professionalism. I thank you and your staff for the most comfortable experience. read more

I have had two endodontic procedures at LTE with Dr Corliss. The entire staff is professional and welcoming. Dr Corliss does very meticulous work and I have been very pleased with the results. read more

I have had outstanding experiences with several root canal procedures with Dr. Rachele Luciano. She practices at Hammond Pond Dental in Chestnut Hill, MA and on Linden Street in Wellesley MA. She is kind, thoughtful, thorough, extremely skilled, very intelligent, and makes me comfortable. I have had no complications and have recovered well from each procedure. I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

I do have to say for my first root canal it was a fantastic experience. NO pain at all. Unfortunately, their office ethics leave something to be desired. I call and asked if they took my insurance. They said "yes". I filled out the paperwork a week prior to the appointment online and sent it in. I get to the office they tell me they were unable to contact the insurance company but will try now. (at 8:00 a.m. insurance company not open), then they tell me usually 80% covered by insurance and to sign here. I do. (BIG mistake). I check out. They say "oh your insurance is only preventative, this isn't covered. Please pay $1,700". I almost passed out! They insisted that I pay two installment of $850 each. (wasn't in the budget NOT happy at all). Not sure I would go back, they were not willing to work out payment plan or discount at all! read more

Underwent emergency root canal with Dr. Peter Velyvis he saved the remaining tooth. The office was overwhelmingly professional and this D.D.S. read more

My experience was great. I get really worked up about having medical procedures but the staff did a great job putting me at ease. Dr. Zaganjori was excellent. I recommend this place highly. I have visited both Boston and Brookline offices, good experience at each location. I plan on taking my future root canal business here. read more

I just wrote a review but realized after I posted it was for the Boston location! Can I link to it here? http://www.yelp.com/biz/limited-to-endodontics-boston?hrid=0c4OSLj0rEwNfZCqQ8LyKQ#src:self read more

The front desk service was terrible - rude and unprofessional. Completely discouraged from even trying to continue with the rest.

I went for a scheduled root canal consult. Arrived at parking lot and called the office as was asked per Covid protocol. Was asked to wait in my car until called in b/c the doc was a little delayed and was told it would be about 10 mins. All understandable. However, after 30 mins no call. So I called to the office and they said...just a few more mins - "within 10 mins for sure." 20 more mins go by and no call. I call again. "Oh just a few more mins." Another 20 mins and they finally call. So over an hour wait before I go in for a consult that was exactly the same as the dentist gave me the day prior and I signed paperwork for them to share. Now they want $135 for the consult fee because the Insurance denied coverage (b/c I had used my first consult at the dentist). I'm generally a patient person, but I would not recommend this office to anyone. They should be able to gauge timing enough to avoid one hour waits and offer a rescheduling sooner. If anyone asks me who to see for Endodontics I will tell them to stay away from Limited to Endodontics!! read more

I had a bad experience with these guys. They run the place like a factory, rushing from one patient to another. Constant interruptions. Then when you try to stop them and ask question you feel like an imbecile! They came recommended and I was very very disappointed. read more

Moved to write a glowing review for Dr. Peter Ok by the exemplary professionalism of this endodontist in one of the most trying of dental procedures- the root canal. With Columbia and Harvard training, there was little doubt that Dr. Ok knew his way around teeth nerves. What I found particularly reassuring was the great length the doctor went to confirm that my pain was not reflective and that the tooth to be treated was indeed the bad apple. Novacane was ably administered (no burn) and the drilling was done in short order minimizing the uncomfortable, mouth-stretching, rubber rig-wearing. The most impressive part of the treatment was the analysis of a post-drilling x-ray. Dr. Ok noticed a small shadow that revealed that resorption was underway and that the tooth had no long term viability, thus saving me a multi-thousand dollar crown exercise. Dr. Ok followed up my visit with personal condition-checking calls. If the dreaded root canal diagnosis comes down from your dentist, head to Dr. Ok. read more

I can't say enough about how excellent Dr. Aburle is. He explained everything in lay terms. He periodically asked if I was ok. It really was pain free. I HIGHLY recommend him. read more

Dr. Andrew Miller in Wellesley was very caring and concerned about my comfort. I always have nitrous at dental appts. and he chooses not to use it but he made me so comfortable, I chose to go ahead with him and I was fine. I highly recommend him. read more

I HATE THE DENTIST! I HATE needles and I HATE being touched! With all of that being said I had the most amazing experience! Dr. Guerrero was so genital and explained EVERYTHING to me before even trying to start my root canal. I've always had perfect teeth so being informed that I did in fact need a root canal was very upsetting news. Although Dr. Guerrero is a very young and new doctor he was absolutely AMAZING I even took home about 20 of his cards to hand out to my friends and family because yes he was THAT amazing! I will recommend ANYONE and EVERYONE to this amazing dentist. But my experience doesn't stop there. They say that the front desk is the face of any practice and your experience starts there. Well let me tell you that is SO true! When I had called for my appointment I spoke to 2 of the ladies there the first one was Tiffany and she is so full of energy you can't help but to like her! She was very efficient while helping me, I was very nervous but she insured me I had nothing to worry about (and she was right). I had no clue what dental insurance I had (I know embarrassing right) but she told me that she would find it for me and she did. The next lady I spoke to was Antonettiea (sorry if I misspelled that) she was also so lovely and who doesn't love a beautiful Greek accent on the phone. She helped me the directions and what an amazing job she did. Antonettiea also checked me out when I was finished and she was so helpful as I didn't have my calendar. She made my next appointment and let me know that if I could not make it to call back and we can change it. I will forever come back to this place and I will make sure that I see Dr. Guerrero! THANK YOU LTE! read more

I was terrifid before my root canal, but totally put at ease with the professionalism, the obvious caring and patience...and the very successful novacaine anesthesia. I sat and listened to my iTouch through the procedure. No pain. Very pleased with this clinic. read more

Referred to here by my regular dentist since I needed a root canal on a molar. Was able to schedule the next day. I had heard that root canals weren't as bad as they used to be but jeez i wasn't expecting it to be this pain free. I didn't even need to take advil the next day. I hope I don't have to come back but if I do I won't fret as much. read more

Just finished a 6 months check up following a root canal with Dr. Maryanne Knasas Irwin. I just remembered I should've written this review when she did the original surgery (and I mean SURGERY). I was freaked when I found out a root canal done many years ago "failed". There was no viable tooth structure left thanks to fillings and crown. I had to have a root canal done through the gum to fully seal off the third root that hadn't been completely blocked. Dr. Irwin was fabulous. She explained everything and was kept me informed throughout the process. I had never heard of anyone needing this type of fix. It was painless as the process progressed and I followed her post op directives and was absolutely fine. Since I just got back from my followup, I now remember that I meant to give her a two thumbs way, way up following the initial procedure. I get to see her again in 6 more months just to be sure. So far, so good. Hope you don't need to have this done, but if you do - run to Dr. Irwin. read more

While the doctors and techs are fabulous, the administrative staff is horrendous. I was verbally abused by a receptionist named Nancy and left the office in tears. I was humiliated and belittled by her. Please bring someone with you to your appointment so you don't have to face her alone. Also, be careful of their deceitful billing practices. Be sure to speak to your insurance company first and bring documentation with you to your appt otherwise their admin staff may attempt to extort money from you as Nancy tried doing with me. read more

I had two root canals over the last few months. The first one was with Dr. Klein, who was really, really nice. She explained everything very clearly and that put me at ease. Her dental assistant that day, was not nice at all. She was super moody, not pleasant at all, would not say a single word and when I asked questions, she would respond with a single yes or no. A few months later, I had to have a second root canal (and actually redo the fist one because I kept having discomfort). This time, there was a new assistant/technician. Her name is Piyusha. She cannot be any nicer. She is super kind, professional, and friendly. I had to have a CT Scan because my first root canal did not work. Missy, the technician who performed this test, was rude. I was in the waiting room and was making an online purchase on my phone while waiting to be called. I am always very busy and was trying to take advantage of the time I was asked to wait in the waiting room (after having been in the office for over an hour for a second root canal), and needed to purchase some materials for my business. Once Missy called me, I came in the room and asked if she could wait just ONE minute as I was finalizing a transaction online and I had all the tiles, grout, etc. in my "cart" and was afraid to loose the order. I have already entered my payment info and just needed to go to the next page and press "submit". She made "faces" and said, no, she has things ready for me. I told her that sometimes patients wait for long periods of time...this time I, the patient, was asking her for "a single minute", maybe even less, and she would not agreed to do it. It took several minutes of discussing, back and forth. Once she noticed I was very disappointed she said, that's ok, go to the waiting room and I'll call you again. It was just ONE MINUTE and most likely, even less than that. I could have done it without even asking but I just wanted to be respectful. She was certainly not. She probably knew she was wrong but instead of apologizing for being so inflexible, she was insisting me to finish my transaction when I have had already closed and lose the order. Re. the people at the front desk, there is someone called Antoinette who is such a pleasure! Absolutely adorable, courteous, and a pleasure to talk to. Another receptionist though, Claudia, is not nice at all. She is not welcoming, never a smile, or a kind, "how can I help you". She just looks at you imperiously, and "throws" a word, if you are lucky, two. Literally, at check-out, I told her I need to be seen in about two weeks. She doesn't say, "ok, let me see what we have". She just looks at her calendar and says, "August 10th at XX PM" and looks at you with an impatient scowl. She doesn't ask, "how about August 10th at XX PM? The first time she "helped (?)" me, I thought she was having a bad day. But then, on my next visit, she was equally rudely brief and discourteous. Basically, Limited to Endodontics' staff in Wellesley, has some great people, like Antoinette, Piyusha, and Dr. Klein, but has others that make me think, there must be better places... Not the best experience, especially after you pay so many thousands... read more
