I arrived for my 8 AM root canal and walked out at 8:40. The procedure was punctual, professional, thorough, thoughtful and caring. The office is modern and reflects the latest technology. They ready staff knew their assignments and displayed practiced teamwork. Count me as a satisfied patient. I highly recommend Dr Safa and Long Beach Endodontix. read more

Got me in the same day. Explained testing and then the procedure throughly. Doc was quick and efficient. Took about 1 1/2 for the whole visit. Felt instantly better after. Back to normal routine next day. Office clean and modernized. About as easy as a root canal can be. I would highly recommend. read more

I arrived at my root canal appointment the staff was very friendly and polite. They took me back to the room and took x-rays and when I meet Dr Safa and he explained the procedure to me in detail. They put an after care video on that was very helpful. During my procedure Dr Safa keep checking on me to making sure I was doing okay, and updating me on how it was going and how much longer it was going to take. When I was done Dr Safa explained to me what I might expect to happen and what do for any pain. This was a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone that needs a root canal taken care of. read more

Great doctor very nice and gentle Had no pain at all Very impressive same day appointment read more

LB Endodontix was amazing! Dr Byun, Ashley, Ruth and the rest of the team were some of the best not only dental professionals but medical at large. They were very professional and made everything very clear from finances to medical advice and procedure explanation. They were always prompt in responding and even dealing with insurance. When asked for a copy of my images and records they immediately put it on a custom thumb drive. Medically speaking, Dr byuns work was fantastic as was his nurse. Another dentist office immediately told me I need to pull 2 of my teeth from root canals having gone bad (I'm 40 yrs old) and never offered another option or even recommended I see a specialist. Luckily I did and Dr Byun gave me an alternative surgical method and now I still have all my teeth thanks to him! Can't be happier with his work and my entire experience there. In short, go there if you need dental surgery, you won't regret it. read more

I highly recommend this service! The professionalism was outstanding, and the thorough instructions accompanied by visual aids made everything clear. Ruth was exceptional, and Dr. Bu demonstrated impressive skill throughout the process. I felt no pain at all. read more

This review is waayyyy long overdue! I was referred to this office by my son's dentist. Office is CLEAN and they do offer coffee and water. Staff are super friendly! Johnny was the best! He really gets to know the patients & their families, you can tell he really cares and very sociable. His customer service is superb! You won't feel awkward sitting in the waiting area. You can tell patient care is important in this office -- and this is coming from a nurse. Dr. Hutchens is knowledgeable and explains everything thoroughly. My son states he felt comfortable during a root canal procedure and didn't feel any pain. Keep in mind, my son states he didn't need any pain meds after. I would recommend anyone to this office. (I don't really post on Yelp, but I feel this place just goes out of their way to make their patients feel good and comfortable) read more

I had a great experience at Long Beach Endodontix. My first appointment was a consult at which I scheduled very last minute because I had a family member that was being seen in the same building... I called LB endo the morning of and they were able to accommodate me the same day and even the same time as my family member being seen in another office. The lady scheduling me was very professional and efficient. I also liked I was able to fill out any new patient forms prior to the appointment to make my wait time quicker. I was seen by Dr.Vahora and he made me feel very comfortable with his recommendation of a root canal on a tooth that has been giving me problems for quite a while now. Any questions I had he answered. The day of my appointment I was quite nervous as this was my first root canal treatment. The assistant played a post op care video while I was for Dr.Vahora to see me. I liked that because it saved time and answered any questions I had for after treatment care. I definitely over thought the procedure because it was actually a breeze. Dr.Vahora and his assistant were very efficient. He made sure I was comfortable through out the entire procedure asking me multiple times if i was doing okay. He gave me updates and let me know what step he was on. When he said there was only 5 minutes left I was pleasantly surprised. They made my treatment go by so quick. My whole appointment from start to finish was painless. Thank you Long Beach Endodontix for this great experience ! read more

The staff and the Dr.Younes Safa make you feel welcome very nice team he has working for him also no wait either my appointment was at 2:00 and went straight in for X-rays and exam will be recommending to my friends and Family!!!! read more

i was in a lot of pain... Julian Gabbay took care of my root canal... Pain is gone and i feel great!! Office experience was exceptional!!

Truly great experience here. I had to get a root canal done and I am so happy to have found Long Beach Endodontix. Every single staff member I interacted with was kind and professional. I was already planning on spending 1hr-1.5hrs getting the procedure done but I was pleasantly surprised when I was told by the endodontist that it would only take 30 minutes and it really did! She was quick and gentle, no pain through out the appointment and I felt completely comfortable with her. Aside from the customer service the office is very clean and aesthetically please and parking was very easy!! 10/10 :) read more

I came in for a front tooth root canal. The office is clean, and the front desk staffs are super friendly. Jonathan remembered our names and helped me with all the paperwork and appointments. The office even offered discounts because I had no insurance. I only gave a four star because Dr Hutchens was in such a rush the whole time. The consultation was extremely short (around 2 minutes). I had done two root canals before in Utah where the doctor walked me through the entire process. I understand doctor's time is very expensive, but root canal is a scary procedure. I wish Dr Hutchens had explained what each of the steps were going to be. The worst part was when Dr Hutchens administrated the anesthetics. I had just sat down in the chair and the assistant had put on some numbing cream on my gums. Before I knew it, the doctor came in with the needle and just kept going with shots after shot. There were no explanations, no warning before hand, or any signs to prepare me for what is probably the most painful part of the procedure. In previously procedures, my dentist had always given a couple of warnings and told me exactly what is going to happen. They also checked in with me in between shots. TLDR, I am giving a 4 star because the office staff were amazing, and the doctor is indeed skilled at performing the surgery. But Dr Hutchens could have been more communicative and patient through each surgical step. read more

Had a great experience here! Staff were great and Dr. was amazing! I came in for a root canal and was nervous at first but the procedure was painless and fast. read more

Dr. Safa and staff were AWESOME!! Even with my fear of dentists, they made my entire root canal experience so easy, quick and painless. They made me feel so comfortable and even offered chapstick before the procedure and a wet, warm, lavender-scented towel to wipe my face afterwards! The facility was also super nice, bright and clean. Thank you Dr. Safa and staff for a great experience! read more

Got my first root canal here and came to the office in a lot of pain. Entire staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Left feeling much better! Thank you! read more

Very happy with my experience receiving a root canal from Dr. Safa. He was professional, efficient, and effective! When I received the injections, barely felt it. He finished in 45 minutes! Staff was friendly, view is great (3rd floor), and clinic was clean and modern. Also received a follow-up call after the procedure. Seamless! read more

I really do want to be fair so I chose my words carefully. Your response appears to be a cut and paste of your response to someone who had the same experienced in your office 11 months prior. You make it a point to say that "in the event of an infection or swelling", there is potential for more pain. I did not have either, it was a textbook procedure. In fact, the root canal it self was ok and not painful really. It also appears to be a success as it appears that I will get to keep the tooth and the pain and discomfort that I was feeling has subsided and for that I am grateful. It's the administering of novocaine and how you went about that process that went terribly wrong. You failed to care that there was a living human being at the other end of that needle. You waited zero seconds before the next injection and the next and the next. Even when I clearly gave you signals that it was excruciating, you just kept reaching for the next injection. I literally had to sit up and ask you to stop. I had tears in my eyes from the pain. You basically said nothing. Simply told me that I did not have to continue if I did not feel comfortable. This after all that pain. To now try and explain that it's to be expected due to an infection or swelling, neither of which apply, is even more insulting. Your apology is not genuine but thank you. Its been over a week and I still have terrible bruising and some swelling. I hope that this helps others be informed and make the best decision for themselves. read more

Came here on a referral from my dentist, Dr. Beebe, due to a possible need for a root canal. Was able to get an appointment with Dr. Hutchens within a couple of days. Front office staff was friendly and professional, as were dental techs. X-rays were taken of the affected tooth, Dr. Hutchens reviewed and did an exam, and due do a cold test which showed no nerve response on that tooth, determined that a root canal was indeed required. He explained what the procedure would entail, and front staff gave a detailed estimate of fees and insurance coverage. Dr. Hutchens did an excellent job of administering numbing meds and after a brief wait for those to kick in, began the procedure, which went very well. Dr. Hutchens clearly reviewed the results with me. Took about 1/2 hour, I believe. Day after, feeling great, only very minimal gum pain. Overall I would highly recommend Dr. Hutchens and Long Beach Endodontix! read more

Saw Dr Safa for a root canal. The office staff were very efficient and kind. They were all very friendly. Dr Safa and team did a fantastic job. It was a painless process. They did a great job explaining everything that was going to happen. I would highly recommend. read more

Went here yesterday to get a root canal and they took great care of me. Dr. Safa and the staff were awesome and had me in and out in less than an hour. This was my first time getting a root canal done and I didn't feel any pain the entire time. Would highly recommend coming here! read more

Great staff, modern equipment. Root canal was quick and painless. I highly recommend Long Beach Endodontix.

Ruth's bedside manner was impeccable, she was so nice and so gentle handed and informative I felt very comfortable there even though it's a dentist office. My Specialist (I'm so sorry I forgot your name Sir) was also awesome, he helped me understand my options for teeth care and even the numbing shot was painless. I would give more stars if I could and definitely would recommend them to anyone who might be looking for a specialist office. read more

I had a really good experience getting a root canal with Dr. Safa. He was very informative, answered my questions and put me at ease. All the staff were kind and friendly and it made it a pleasant experience. The procedure itself was fairly quick and painless, less uncomfortable than getting a filling. I felt absolutely fine after I left and was able to head to Disneyland the rest of the day! read more

The staff are very nice and accommodating. As a nearly full-time dental patient I have to say Dr Vahora is among the best I've visited for two root canals. He is courteous, knowledgeable, fast and efficient. read more

Dr. Safa, Daisy, and the team that took care of me were fantastic and very professional. This team makes you feel comfortable, and the quality of work is unmeasurable. I just had minor endodontic surgery and I am glad that I chose Long Beach Endodontix. read more

Scheduling the appointment was simple, and the procedure was smooth as butter. Dr. Vahora and the staff were very attentive and professional. I was in and out in less then 45 minutes and felt absolutely no discomfort during my root canal. Would definitely recommend read more

I had always feared the concept of a root canal, imagining a great deal of pain and drilling work. Long Beach Endodontix and Dr. Vahora proved that his work was anything but. The staff was outstanding and welcoming and had me in and ready to go in just a few minutes. Dr. Vahora explained everything and went right to work. Only one hour later, I was ready to go on with my day. Except for the pin-prick of the shots, which they numbed my gums beforehand, everything was painless. The office is calm and soothing and his work was outstanding. The next day, still no pain to complain of. If I ever have to have this done again, there would be no place else I would accept to do the work. read more

I got a referral from my dentist this morning. I had to see a specialist for a root canal through my bridge. And they took me in the same day. Great customer service. Ruth was the assistant in the room. And she was great. The best part of the visit was the Playlist music. Thanks again read more

This office is just amazing. The staff and the Doctor is good energy. Also, may I add from my fir visit, the staff offered me a warm towel for my face and they even offered me some chapstick after. That was a first for me. 10 gold stars for this staff. read more

I loved the clean and organized office. It's was my second time in there today for a root canal, and I have to say I was greatly impressed at the time and efficacy of my procedure. I have heard of many horror stories and I was very hesitant about my appointment today. However; the procedure went much better than expected and ended within the hour! It was such a relief! I left their office singing a song! I am very happy that times have changed and that we are able to get treatment from professionals like this today. :) Highly recommend! read more

Extremely satisfied with the last minute appointment, professional front desk ladies and thorough explanation of the procedure. Dr. Hutchens was smooth and quick. very little pain and discomfort considering a root canal. Ruth was a very good and professional assistant. I will definitely recommend them and use them again (hopefully I won't need too, though). read more

I was in terrible pain due to an infected root canal as a result of my terrible dental hygiene (but that's neither here nor there) and was referred to LB Endodontix last minute at 2pm. Not only did they see me the same day and treat the root canal but they did it all politely, professionally and personably. I find it rare to get all three from any medical practice but everyone there seemed genuinely concerned and compassionate. Clean and modernized office along with state of the art equipment and caring staff make it a rare gem in the world of Endodonists. Or maybe I'm just biased because they fixed my tooth. Who knows? In short.. good vibes and great people. Highly recommend. read more

My dentist recommended this office because I needed a root canal. I didn't know what to expect but quickly found out how great of an office and doctor this is. I got an appointment the next day and I was quickly diagnosed with an option of getting treatment immediately. I optioned to get a root canal after being shown the x-ray and a thorough explanation of the procedure. The doctor and assistant were very professional and everything was finished very quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this office an doctor for any Endodontic need. They were great, professional, clean, and efficient!!!! read more

I'm being brutally honest, I always hated dental treatments until today, from the moment I walked in they made me feel comfortable, the staff was AMAZING, Dr Hutchens and assistant Maria made me feel very comfortable a total painless procedure, Maria was awesome and extremely helpful, and was always constantly asking me how I was feeling, Dr Hutchens hands down very professional and took care of my treatment extremely fast and pain free, front desk was also amazing, jonnny broke down pricing with excellent details and answered all my questions. Love that i go a follow up call the next day, I definitely recommend LB Endodontix. read more

Went into my apt. very nervous at the thought of the drills.. the uncomfortableness.. the pain.. etc... Dr. Vahora is a dream! I eventually was feeling very calm and relaxed... he explained step by step what he was going to be doing... I couldn't have had a better experience! They give you shades to protect you from any bright lights aaaaand!!!!! You get a warm lemon scented towel at the end! I was also handed a lip balm as I left with my receipt..... Extraordinary place! read more

The office experience, care and quality exceeded my expectations. The dental assistant, Ruth, answered my questions that I didn't want to bother Dr. Hutchen's with and not only put my mind at ease but helped me through the process. The front desk support staff are kind and patient. Dr. Hutchen's may not have the softest bedside manner but he makes up for it in his skill and scientific mindframe. I appreciate the entire staff and would return if I am ever in need of another root canal...of course, I just hope not. Last note, they were extremly accomodating to my pain and need rush in to be seen for a consult and getting the work done. I thought I'd have to wait weeks and instead I barely had to wait hours. That in of itself deserved a 5 star review. read more

This is the second time I've been referred to Long Beach Endodontix and I cannot say enough about their care. Today I had Dr Vanora (SP) and Ruth, and they both showed great concern, listened, treated me with respect and explained everything I needed to know, both prior to the procedure and after. The facilities was clean and the staff all followed excellent precautions. The front desk staff was amazing and I had my insurance and co-pay explained to my satisfaction. read more

Dr. Grant was amazing, My root canal went smooth and easy with the help of Wendy . Highly recommend Nice and clean office read more

I was referred here by my dentist. I could not be happier with my experience. Let's face it. No one wants a root canal. Dr. Vahora was fantastic. Explained everything and made the process great. I have had a few root canals and this by far was the smoothest one ever. Ashley was the assistant. She was thorough, kind , she also took the time to explain things. She followed up with me the next day just to see how I was. All in all, from the minute I walked in to the moment I walked out. Everyone was professional and kind. It wasn't the easiest root canal as it was an older one that had to be repaired. My appointment was at 5pm and I was in the chair and they got started even before my appointment time. Virtually no wait. Not that I want another root canal, if however if I do need one. I will not hesitate to come back to LB Endondtix read more

My brother w/ special needs is treated very well here. My family and I are very pleased with the staff and service provided each and every visit. Shout to Dr. Hutchers and Johnny. You are the best! read more
