Two days after procedure and everything is fine. Good work by Dr Monts and Dalia. Thanks

I had to get a root canal retreated after it got reinfected (how does this happen? I have no idea) and my dentist referred me out to an endodontist for the procedure. I chose Lonestar Endodontics because they were in-network for my insurance, as well as the good reviews. Dr. Monts was friendly, professional, and QUICK! I had to go in three times: once for the 3D X-ray consultation, to make sure it was the right procedure to have done; once for the initial drill and medicine placement; and finally, to finish the procedure and seal up the tooth. The 3D X-ray was super cool. Technology these days, y'all... The procedure itself was painless, just a little tedious to have to have your jaw propped open for half an hour. The office staff run a tight ship -- I don't think I had to wait more than 15 minutes for my appointments, and that's because I got there early. And everyone is super friendly. Yeah, root canals are no fun, but I'd definitely recommend this practice to folks who need to get one done. read more

Excellent dental office! Dr. Raj Shenoy is one of the most skillful, knowledgeable, honest and a kind doctor. The frontdesk staff are great, specially Courtney as one of the most helpful and kind person. Thank you Dr. Shenoy and Lonestar Endodontics for your care! Mehrdad Vatani, Ph.D. read more

I was sent here for root canal! From initial conversation with the front desk, I know I was sent to the right place. The staff were friendly and professional. Got in in just short notice. Dr. Burgos and his assistance were amazing. My tooth still sensitive with mild pressure, but definitely much better. Dr. Burgos thoroughly explained prior procedure of what to expect and what's next afterwards. Minus one star due to he forgot to do a test bite. Other than that everything went well and was painless procedure. Thank you Doc and to your assistance.Highly recommended!! read more

I had a tooth issue over Labor Day weekend. My Dentist recommended Lonestar Endodontics. I went in and sure enough I had an issue which required an emergency root cancel. After spending all weekend taking 1000mg Ibuprofen and Tylenol 300 with 30mg of Codeine to knock out the pain every 4-6hr. Which shocked the Dentist, after he heard what I was taking. I assured him this is what it took to knock out the pain comfortably. He assured me that after the novocain wore off, and if I was still in pain to call or text his cell number. In return he would write a script right away to help with any pain or discomfort that was lingering after the root a canal. If you are looking for an Endodontist that is just looking to keep his lights on, and doesn't care about your well being or helping you in your emergency root canal. Dr Monts is your guy! He doesn't give a rats ass what kind of pain your in, he's just selling you his little pitch that's he's so carrying. I will voice my experience with my dentist who referred him with my complete and utter dissatisfaction in hopes she doesn't have another referral that goes through what I had. Who knows maybe I'll even file a complaint with the Texas State Dental board. Further more the next day I'm still feeling pain from the root canal, which my primary dentist said I should not be experiencing. I called the office and requested for Dr Monts to look over my X-ray thoroughly, and explain to me why I'm still suffering pain... no return call ever came. Which just shows you the type of dentist this man is, as I previously explained above. This man has little care for you or your well being. read more

Pleasant front office and dental staff. Cost was clearly explained prior to appointment. Minimal paperwork thanks to ease of website. Dr. Monts was patient and thorough in consultation and procedure. The investment in technology helped to make my procedure be completely pain free. When was the last time you could say that about a dental appointment? read more

I have a tooth with a crown that has served me well for the past 15 years. However I started having pain in the tooth that increased to the point I could not ignore it any longer. I saw my dentist who referred me to Dr. Monts at Lonestar Endodontics. I credit them for fitting me in the same day upon referral. At this point I was in extreme pain using ice water constantly to keep the inflammation in the tooth down. The procedure was nearly painless and went quickly. Showing x-rays of the result to my oral surgeon he said it was expert work. Although I hope to never need their services again, I will definitely go back if need be. I will also recommend Lonestar to my friends and colleagues. read more

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS REVIEW: my issue has been resolved. The NEW book keeper has straightened this all out and Dr Monts responded immediately. We will continue to go to Lonestar because Dr Monts is great with my husbands unique medical needs. read more

Let's just say I'm not the easiest patient to walk through their doors. Yet even still they treated me with such kindness and respect. The process was nerve wracking for me an everyone there from the first step inside helped make things smoother an more relaxing. The dr. Was fabulous an very personable. I loved how they catered to my needs an didn't seem bothered by it in the least. Very prompt an little to no delay once checked in. All in all if I have to I know where to go to get any an all my future root canal's done. Only wish they did more so I could kick the boot to my regular dentist who sucks..... Anyhow thank y'all for being so great!!! read more

Wonderful practice! Highly recommend Dr Monts! I recently had a 1st ever root canal which was the very last thing I ever wanted to have to do. The scheduling staff was very understanding and assuring as well as Dr Monts. The procedure was totally painless. I am very grateful my family dentist referred me to Lonestar. My tooth was not hurting so my initial appointment was not urgent but it still was scheduled in a timely convenient time frame. The actual procedure went smoothly, it was almost 2 weeks ago and there have been no problems or regrets. They are so thoughtful they provided a complimentary coupon for a smoothie for my lunch from a local shop nearby. A big thank you to Dr Monts and his staff for taking such care and being so professional but still thoughtful and considerate. read more

The whole staff was amazing! Super Friendly and helpful. Dr. Monts and his assistant Taylor were great! They talked me thru my procedure and made sure I was pain free. I can't say enough good things about my experience at Lonestar Endodontics. I highly recommend this office!! read more

From kids to adults, going to get teeth work done is hardly a good experience right? This visit to Lonestar Endodontic is one of those rare moments where it wasn't so bad. I had a root canal from many many moons ago that got infected and needed to be re-treated. The staff of the facility explained the whole process very well and as we all know bottom line concern for most patients is; "What's my out of pocket cost?". This was very clearly explained in detail so as a patient you go in and come out without the horror of a sticker shock. I was then ushered by a very friendly assistant Baylie to get my teeth scanned. Second impression walking into the x-ray room is the High End 3D scanner and cleanliness of the facility. Baylie moves me to another room where the retreatment will be performed. Observing Baylie doing her work using the Software that translates my 3D scan navigating the images at the same time asking me questions regarding the tooth of interest, I knew that I'm in good hands and she is very knowledgeable of the job she does. I then meet Dr. Montz who reviews my x-rays and in detail takes the time to explain the cause and treatment plan. I then felt assured once more that Dr. Month is a very good Endodontic. The Reception Staff, Assistant Bailey & Dr. Montz in this facility in my opinion is the best experience I've ever been through any type of dental work in my lifetime. They are very friendly and most of all, very skilled in what they do. Thank you Lonestar Endodontic Team! read more

I'm a physician, but a nervous dental patient. When Dr. Neal Shah of Austin referred me to Lonestar Endodontics for a root canal consultation, I was NOT looking forward to the procedure. I drew Dr. M. Scott Monts (Dr. Shenoy is also in practice there), looked him up online and read the reviews, traveled an hour and a half for the consultation, then an hour and a half for the root canal. It was worth it. My experience was comfortable and pain free from start to finish (and didn't take very long, either). The staff (Angela, Taylor, others) were uniformly friendly and professional, explained things well, and guided me through what turned out to be a very pleasant experience with nitrous oxide. Dr. Monts himself was thorough, professional, and complete with his explanations as he moved through the very efficient procedure. I guess that comes with, as he said, doing nothing but root canals all day, every day. It shows. read more

This review is solely based on phone conversation I had with this office. I gave my insurance information and the office called back with patient's portion after my insurance and I have scheduled procedure to be done. A day before my appointment, the office called to confirm my appointment and I asked them to double confirm my portion to be paid at the time service renders. The lady on the phone said "the other girl did not know consultation and 3-D Xrays are not covered by insurance" therefore, you will be paying over $500 instead of $329. Really?? How can you change the price and up charge the patient without properly train your own staffs on pricing? Not everyone has extra $$ to spend. Insurances do cover consultation. I have called other Endodontics office and my patient's portion is $390 including consultation, procedure and necessary X-rays. Please train your staffs properly! You just piss off potential customer with unethical pricing differences. read more

A very professional and pleasant office staff in the setting of a major dental issue that is otherwise unpleasant. I saw Dr Monts for a second opinion on my root canal and he gave it to me straight. Minimal wait time, efficient staff and imaging studies and I was out in less than one hour! Thanks Dr Monts and staff! read more

I was referred to Lonestar Endodontics by my general dentist for a re-treatment of my root canal that had developed an abscess. My initial root canal was back in 1998. It lasted 22 years, which is great, but waited until we were in a global pandemic to decide to give me my first abscess. The team at Lonestar was top notch. I called late on a Friday and they were able to see me on Tuesday of the following week. The entire process was well communicated, the staff is professional, great at communicating what and why they are doing things and my consult with the Endodontist explaining my X-ray and what he was about to do helped me to understand the process. He was sensitive to my needs and the team was awesome. I would recommend hoping you never need to see a specialist but if you do, I would recommend Lonestar Endodontics! read more

Over the weekend my molar was hurting and my jaw and face began to swell. I knew it had to be an infection or possible root canal situation. I called my regular dentist early Monday whom referred me to Lonestar Endodontics to see Dr Shamoy. I called 8am Monday and got an appointment 9am that same morning. By 11:30am I had my root canal completed and at home resting. They were so nice and accommodating. The entire staff is top notch. I don't think I could have gone another day with the pain and am so grateful for their willingness to fit me in so quickly. Dr. Shamoy explained every step and possibility so I wouldn't be in the dark. He has a great bedside manner and so does his staff. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! read more

Lonestar endodontics was a very good experience considering I was having a root canal. Dr. Mont and all of the staff were extremely welcoming and comforting. I highly recommend going here if you need to be taken care of. read more

Friendly staff all round. Very thorough with their work and also offered a smoothie from a local company after the appointment.

It's a nuisance to go to a specialist when your dentist can't resolve an issue but I always enjoy Lonestar. They are always kind, patient, efficient and they take Care Credit since dental work in America isn't cheap. The techs and dentist were great. They explained their findings and why they did the work they performed on my mouth. I highly recommend them. read more

The office is very nice and super clean. Dr. Shenoy and his staffs were so gently. I didn't even feel anything. So happy with my root canal treatment. Highly recommended to everyone. read more

Lonestar Endodontics - TX size Listerine - Endodontists Near Me - Austin, Texas

From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with a big, welcoming smile. Lupita and Dr. Monts are a dynamic duo who did such an exemplary job explaining all the steps of my first root canal. At the very beginning of the procedure, I was experiencing extreme anxiety--which is a chronic issue for me and by no fault of the staff of Lonestar. Lupita & Dr. Monts were so kind and patient with me and pivoted to make me comfortable. Once I was situated, the procedure was so quick & efficient. I most definitely highly recommend Lonestar Endodontics! read more

I was quoted a 364 for a consult and root canal on 2 teeth after my Insurance discount was applied. They make you take a 250$ x Ray that isn't covered and you have to pay. So turned out can only do 1 tooth, but it would have been 600$ I can't afford that out of pocket that's ridiculous. So I decline and they charge me 430$ for a consult and an X-ray that they REQUIRE to do the appointment. It's a scam. read more

Excellent experience. They were able to see me quickly and did a great job addressing my dental needs. They were accommodating of my request for nitrous even though it took extra time. Explained treatment plan and costs clearly. read more

Awesome experience from the moment I contacted them! I have had an unfortunate run of teeth that have decided to go rogue on me. Lonestar Endodontics has taken great care of me and have been incredible all around. Dr. Shenoy is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me understand what is happening. I'm super glad I chose Lonestar to save my teeth! read more

Dr Monts and his staff provide excellent detailed information as to what the issue or potential issues might be with the latest technology and imaging. You are a comfort and experience or their top priority. This is the only place I would go. Unfortunately/fortunately I've had several visits. read more

They were able to squeeze me in on the day I called with an aching tooth. I needed a root canal. Dr Monts was awesome. I didn't feel a thing. In fact I could have slept through it. Very fast and reasonably priced as well. read more

Sad to write this review, because I did enjoy Dr. Monts and his techs - they were very nice and understanding throughout the procedure I had there. I had some sustained pain after that they had to prescribe antibiotics for, so I ended up pushing out my second root canal to give myself more time to heal on the side I'd have to chew with. I ended up having to reschedule the next appointment due to work and even though it was done in ample time, the response to the second reschedule wasn't warm by any means. (Keep in mind, I work full time, have two kids and dental work can only be done during the work day!) My next appointment was two weeks later, but I came down with an illness and couldn't sleep the night before the procedure because I was coughing incessantly. I called early and left a message, knowing it would be inconvenient to cancel so close to the appointment. I then called again when they opened and told them I was sick, hadn't slept all night from coughing and worried how I could safely get through a root canal with a persistent cough (all while my 3 year old is crying in the background, because he was also sick). The only response I got from the office staff (Kathy I believe) was, "You've rescheduled several times now, you need to just go back to your general dentist and get a referral to another endodontist." I honestly hung up the phone and cried because I was without sleep, dealing with a sick kid, work and had someone treat me badly for no good reason. I was fully ready to pay for a cancelation fee knowing my illness would cause inconvenience to the staff. My sister had referred me here and I brought my husband along, but scheduling needs and illness means we now need to start from scratch. The doctors are good from my experience, but if you need flexibility in schedule or even just some basic kindness, I don't think Lonestar Endodontics is for you. read more

Came in on short notice... had a root canal before i left! They saved the day! Great experience!

Stellar. The expertise involved in getting a root canal when you have an existing crown-need I say more. Staff and Dentist were all professional and exceptional. Well done. read more

No one wants to have a root canal, but if you need one this is the place to go! Dr. Monts and his assistant Michele were super nice and made the experience as great as a root canal could be. The office is really clean and high-tech and all the staff were very friendly. They helped me get a same day appt for an emergency and I was so thankful because I was really in pain. Thanks Dr. Monts - you're the best! read more

This was by far the most courteous and professional office that I have ever visited...from start to finish...dare I say, it was a pleasure? In this day and age, it is truly a pleasure to encounter such an experience!!! Thank you to Dr Shinoy and his entire staff! read more

I had to have a root canal and my regular dentist recommended that I go to an endodontist so he told me to go to Dr Mont's and from the very beginning of my check in everyone made me feel very comfortable. When I got in the operatory, his assistant was very sweet, very kind and very knowledgeable. When I met Dr Mont's he was just so kind and asked me if I had any questions. He was very gentle and took really good care of me. I would definitely recommend him and their office because it was just a good experience where normally root canals are kind of scary for people. He made it feel like it wasn't a big deal that he would take good care of me and he did and I'm so pleased that I went there. read more

I've had two root canals with Dr. Monts, and each time it's been a painless experience! He and his staff are quick and efficient. I highly recommend him if you need to have this kind of dental work. read more

Raj Shenoy is fantastic, easy to communicate with and willing to listen to my thoughts and provide guidance. I was able to get a same day appt after my Primary DDS said I needed their services. Had one followup phone call with Dr Raj. Then a followup visit to implement what we had discussed over the phone Great atmosphere with extremely friendly support staff read more

The staff is incredibly nice but I was uncomfortable the entire procedure because the nitrous didn't work at all. They didn't seem to care about that, but I managed to stay calm through all the scary crap. After my procedure I cried myself to sleep from pain because the after hours number didnt work, and when I called the next day their response to my incredible pain was basically "oh." So if you like being in pain, this is where you go. read more

Very good experience from the front office through the actual procedure. Highly recommend. Procedure was a root canal, very little pain, best it could be. read more

So after writing my first post on the horrible outcome of my experience. Dr. Shenoy called me and told me he would refund me for the 2 root canals he preformed as he believed in Karma and did not want an unsatisfied customer. He said the refund would be sent as long as I took down my post, I agreed as I do not think he is a bad man. He is just unprofessional and inexperienced. (as my cheek expanded to 3 inches and his unsteady hands left me forever scarred) I called his office as instructed to give them my address. A few weeks later I called his cell and he did not respond. When I called his office the admin lady told me she would call me with an update that week. No one ever called. Three months later I got a letter stating they had researched the matter and would not issue a refund. I never had asked for a refund. Dr. Raj called me offering this refund. The letter further demonstrates how unprofessional, tacky, and inconsiderate this business truly is. I highly recommend not going to this place if you do not want your cheek deformed. I recommend very highly the following dentists in Austin; Dr. Augustine, Dr. Watson, and Dr. Steve Flores. If your insurance only covers this place I would do the procedure in Mexico. read more

I've worked in dentistry for over 30 years, but this was the first time I was a patient for a root canal. From the first phone call, I felt very comfortable with this office. When I arrived for my early morning appointment, I was told that the doctor I had been scheduled with was ill, but that Dr. Shenoy would take care of me. I had read all the literature on their website before my appointment, I also understood the process from my years in the dental office, so I was prepared. I was very pleasantly surprised that the procedure was done so seamlessly. I would, most definitely, recommend Dr. Shenoy and staff. Priscila, the assistant, was amazing and kept me informed of my progress through the procedure. I HOPE I don't have to return, but if I ever need another root canal, I know where I will be going! Thank you to all - read more

I want to leave this information as advice. I work with insurance and patients on a daily basis. I had called this office originally after hearing some really good things about the dentists in the office. I had been referred to this office and had insurance issues with a staff member that could not verify my insurance. I was told I had to pay upfront and said absolutely not. I have insurance and actually had been asked to have the office bill first and I pay whatever the 20% would be. Well the girl told me that I needed to pay upfront since the benefits couldn't be verified and said no. Cancelled that one visit and was told by the girl, sorry you couldn't afford it and maybe they could help me in the future when I can afford it. LOL Called back again hoping it would be someone else. Visit was scheduled once again and told the girl you can call my dentist office and ask how to verify and where. I get a call the day before my appointment to confirm and discuss my benefits which I already know lol. Then proceed to argue with the so called office manager about my benefits and the information that is stated on my card as well as relayed to me by my benefits office. I asked her who she spoke with so that I can call the office and confirm what was stated. Keep in mind I am out of town for my mothers surgery and she calls me back to tell me she talked with both dentists about my case. She stated untrue statements to them I'm sure, said she decided to cancel my appointment and will not be rescheduling due to the way I treated their staff. I said did you tell them why I had concerns and why I was frustrated with their office. She stated this isn't the phone call for that and hung up on me. Working with patients daily, customer service and with insurance daily this is definitely not the way your office will have future referrals. Very said some people treat patients like this when you have concerns or questions or even disagreements on things that need to be clarified. This can do damage on a business when you have people like this work for you. read more
