I recently had a root canal procedure performed by Dr. Shomali after a recommendation from my dentist. Dr. Shomali examined my tooth in her office and she carefully explained why she thought a root canal would be the best course of action for my tooth. She explained how the procedure would work and reassured me that all would go well. After consulting with my dentist, I scheduled a date for the procedure a few days later. When an earlier appointment opened, the office notified me and I went in for my root canal a day sooner. I appreciated that there was an earlier opening because it was Thanksgiving week. The root canal procedure was uneventful. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Shomali let me know what she was doing and what I would feel while she was doing it. As someone who gets a bit anxious in the dentist's chair, I appreciated how Dr. Shomali explained everything. The root canal took less time than I expected. Dr. Shomali's office called the next day to follow up and make sure I was doing well. When the area around the tooth was hurting a few days later, Dr. Shomali instructed me on the pain relievers I should take and when. Since it was a Friday (the day after Thanksgiving), Dr. Shomali provided her cell phone number in case I needed anything over the weekend and she asked me to give her an update over the weekend. Even though my tooth was feeling much better on Monday morning, Dr. Shomali's office made time for me to come in so Dr. Shomali could have a look to make sure everything looked good (it did). It has been a little over a week and my tooth is no longer bothering me. I thought Dr. Shomali (and her team) offered exceptional care during and after the procedure. Hopefully I won't need an appointment with an endodontist for a while, but I would see Dr. Shomali again without hesitation if I need one. read more

Unfortunately, needed a root canal last week, and Dr. Maryam Shomali was the endodontist who my dentist recommended. I was experiencing terrible pain due to infected nerve/root on a tooth that was underneath a crown. As the pain was excruciating, I absolutely had no choice but to address this issue...please know I am a big baby and will put off dental work for as long as possible. In fact, I would rather do almost anything than visit the dentist...and a root canal to boot...I really was not a happy camper and was freaking out, especially when I learned Dr. Shomali needed to drill thru the crown to do what needed to be done. However, I was amazed at how Dr. Shomali and her staff put me at ease, and made the entire procedure virtually pain free and as relaxing as possible. It was finished in one visit, even though several roots were involved with this rather large tooth. I was frequently asked if I was doing okay, or if I needed a break, or if I was feeling any pain or discomfort. Dr. Shomali would update me regularly as to what exactly was going on, and I appreciated this very much, as there was a lot of apparatus in my mouth, and since my jaw obviously was stretched wide open for quite a long time, it helped hearing that procedure was 50% done, then only 15 more minutes to go. I had taken 1 Aleve before my appointment, and was totally shocked that I did not need another dose until the next day. I had no pain whatsoever the 2nd day, just occasional mild discomfort. I was amazed at how good I felt...Dr, Shomali is truly a root canal goddess...if you ever need a root canal, do not hesitate to contact her office...she and her staff are totally friendly, professional, understanding, and a pleasure!

First of all, I do not typically write reviews (good or bad). However, after being treated by Dr. Shomali this weekend I feel compelled to let all know about my experience. Shortly after calling my general dentist emergency number on Sunday due to intolerable pain from an abscessed tooth I was contacted directly by Dr. Shomali. We discussed my issue and she quickly determined that I needed to be seen immediately - on a beautiful Sunday morning. We met at her office and the pain I was experiencing at that point nearly had me blacking out. She quickly went to work in a very clean office and meticulous manner. I was fully confident I was in the right place. Before beginning the process she clearly laid out what the issue was (two abscessed teeth requiring root canals) and detailed how she would remedy it. The pain subsided as soon as she numbed my mouth to begin her work. Dr. Shomali then proceeded to call in my prescription so it would be available on my way home. She gave explicit instructions for me to follow for the next two days, until I came back to complete the two root canals. She requested I follow up with her later in the day to ensure all was okay. Additionally her assistant Debbie followed up the next day to confirm all was good. Dr. Shomali has to be one of the most compassionate people I have met. It was as if she could feel my pain and desperately wanted to help. She had indicated that I actually should have called at night and she would have come in. You don't find this kind of Dr. anywhere. She is my hero. read more

This was my very first root canal and my very first visit to the office of Dr. Maryam Shomali, who came highly recommend by my dentist. After all the horror stories I had heard about root canals, I have to say that this was easier than getting a normal filling or replacing an old filling. I was able to get an emergency appointment within a few hours of my calling the office (*they obviously know what horrible pain one is in when the tooth becomes painful and is throbbing); the scheduling of the root canal three days later, after being on antibiotics for the infection, was perfect. Dr. Shomali is an expert at giving local anesthesia and I felt nothing during the administration of the anesthesia and was 100% comfortable throughout the entire k70 minute procedure. Before I left, the anesthesia started to wear off, so she gave me a small amount so I could drive myself home without any discomfort. The follow-up pain medication worked perfectly and I even had lunch the same day. Everything was explained in advance and also throughout the procedure. The very kind receptionist, Dee, and Dr. Shomali and her assistant, Rachel, were all wonderful and compassionate; I was completely comfortable as a first-time patient. I recommend Dr. Maryam Shomali without any reservations whatsoever - she is superb and my experience today was amazing! I cannot imagine a better endodontist that Dr. Maryam Shomali. read more

In my opinion Dr. Shomali is an artist within one's mouth. The first root canal I had done was approx 2 yrs ago and as I sat in the chair I was amazed of how little of the work I felt so light was her touch. I knew there was a lot going on because my teeth are problematic. I've had other root canals that were akin to road construction in my mouth but not with Dr. Shomali. Recently I had the good fortune to have another root canal on a lower molar through a bridge. Dr. Shomali started the process and stopped because she did not want me to spent the money on a tooth she felt I would loose in a yr. She truly cares about what is best for her patients. After conferring with my dentist I decided, because the bridge was strong, to have the work finished. Dr. Shomali immediately made room in her schedule to finish the job. This was a 3 or 4 root molar and once again I was able to relax and listen to the music while the amazing micro procedure was going on within 1 square quarter inch in my mouth. Afterward I had no swelling and with otc pain meds for 3 days no pain. All I can say is this endodontist is the best there is, and I have had much to compare her with. Not only is Dr. Shomali an artist, but her office and chair-side assistant, Debbie, is efficient and comforting making the whole experience easy and worry free. read more

Dr. Maryam Shomali is outstanding. The care she recently provided to my eleven year old child was exceptional. Dr. Shomali took the time to speak with my son and draw him pictures at our initial consultation. She was gentle and kind while at the same time being professional and communicating what needed to be done, a root canal. Both myself and my son felt at ease after meeting her for the first time. It's not often you find someone who is expert in their field and also compassionate, this is Dr. Maryam Shomali. She was completely present with my son during the procedure, meticulously working on his tooth while still making sure he was doing okay and taking time to make certain the root canal was done to her liking. I had heard many stories about pain and infection and I was quite nervous. My son did not have any discomfort at all, not even when Dr. Shomali was giving the local anesthetic. It's been a couple of days and the tooth looks great. Dr. Shomali helped save my son's front tooth after a sports injury. She is truly superb. I would like to add that Dr. Shomali's staff, Albana and Debbie, were extremely pleasant, kind and helpful. Albana was right there assisting Dr. Shomali and great with my son. Debbie at the front desk was wonderful. read more

My first and only previous root canal was 20 years ago and when I was told by my dentist that one of my molars was in trouble, I was very concerned and somewhat apprehensive. After a consult with Dr. Shomali all my concerns were answered. Dr. Shomali and her team explained all the details of how important it was to try to save my tooth, what steps had to be taken and they scheduled an appointment very quickly. Dr Shomali outlined what I was to do the day before and the morning of my procedure and sent a prescription to my pharmacy for the medications I would need. The day of the procedure I felt prepared and confident that I had made the right decision and that everything was going to go well. Dr. Shomali and her staff worked very efficiently to clean, check & fill every one of the (4) roots of my molar. I really feel Dr Shomali is a perfectionist and she wanted to make sure every detail was right before she would proceed to the next step in the procedure. I had a little pain the night after the procedure but had no swelling and was able to sleep through the night with the Aleve & Tylenol that Dr Shomali recommended. I am very thankful to Dr Shomali and her team for the wonderful care they gave me. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Maryam Shomali to everyone!! I was in a lot of pain one morning, and my general dentist was completely apathetic...so I reached out to Wellesley Endodontics. They created an appointment and saw me within hours, quickly diagnosing the issue and immediately putting me on antibiotics. Unfortunately the problem was ultimately due to an old root canal (not done by her) which ended up requiring extraction...so Dr. Maryam Shomali took it upon herself to book an appointment with an Oral Surgeon on my behalf (understanding the level of pain I was experiencing). She went above and beyond to address my needs expediently, provide immediate care, and ensure my issue was completely resolved (even though that aspect could not be performed by her practice). People tend to downplay tooth pain, but this agony was among the worst I've experienced...and I am forever grateful Dr. Maryam Shomali helped resolve with such empathy and professionalism. read more

This review is coming just post treatment and will be updated. That being said - I can only imagine how bad the experience of getting a root canal can be. I surely know how painful my tooth was before the procedure. But Doctor Shomali and her team there were fantastic. I went in right away and admitted my nerves at the impending pain- they were ready for me. With calming music I could switch (or opt out of), thorough answering of my questions and a positive bedside manner (not sure what else to call their kind attentiveness) they made one of the worst appointments of my life really not terrible. And trust me- for a root canal, that is saying something. My family has been referred here for quite some time (4 procedures in total) and all have gone well. Couldn't really have hoped for a better root canal experience. read more

I had the good fortune of being referred to Dr. Maryam Shomali for a root canal. From the first time I met Dr. Shomali to the follow up phone call from Debbie the day after my root canal I have been impressed with the care and compassion shown. While the actual root canal procedure was not fun, Dr. Shomali made it clear that she was concerned about my comfort. Dr. Shomali explained everything she was doing which greatly reduced my stress level. After the procedure was completely, I was feeling confident that I made the right choice in selecting Dr. Shomali for my root canal. Two days later I have no pain or discomfort. The bottom line is if you want the best Endodontist, go see Dr. Shomali. And as an added bonus, I never had to wait to see her, she was always on time. read more

I had a tooth problem yesterday, exactly two days before I was scheduled to head out for two weeks of international travel. My dentist recommended Dr. Shomali who happened to have an opening right then so I headed to her office. Long story short, she performed a root canal on the spot after carefully explaining the procedure, the after effects, etc. etc. She and her assistant were caring, gentle and never made me feel rushed in spite of the fact that it was the end of the day and I'm sure they had planned to head home! Dee from the office called today to make sure I was feeling okay and tomorrow I head off on a lengthy trip with little stress. I cannot recommend this practice enough! read more

Dr. Shomali is the BEST! This is my third root canal, and the first root canal with Dr. Shomali, and I have to say, I had no pain or discomfort at all during the procedure. She waited for a little while, for the novocain to take hold, since in my case it takes longer than usual. Then she started the procedure and I was pain/discomfort free through the whole time. She is very thorough and has wonderful manners. She made me feel very relaxed and her staff is super nice! All in all, this has been the easiest and best root canal I have ever had. read more

I had a root canal yesterday with Dr. Shomali, my second root canal with her. This was an infected tooth that had caused a great deal of pain. She was calm, thorough, reassuring, and meticulous. She X-rayed the tooth at several intervals, assuring that the job was done to her satisfaction. She checked in with me at each stage. Her calm demeanor is so soothing---no one likes a root canal, but she makes it as palpable as possible. When the novocaine wore off, I was a little achy, but that's it---no pain, no troubles. She is a dental genius! read more

I was experiencing sudden (and scary) jaw pain that become tooth pain 3 days before leaving for a trip. After following up with my dentist, she determined I would need a root canal. Dr. Shomali was able to see me in her office ASAP, and relieved my pain with an initial procedure, and then fit me into her schedule the next week for the root canal. Dr. Shomali and her staff are amazing! I felt well taken care of, relaxed, and never experienced any pain. The procedure itself felt better than a regular filling! read more

I was referred to Dr Shomali by my dentist for further diagnostics and eventually required a root canal which she performed for me. I had an excellent experience all around. Her front desk staff are welcoming and friendly and appointments were flexible and accommodating. The procedure went very smoothly. I felt at ease as she explained everything as she went, and I had no pain throughout. She is a true professional and is an expert in her field. I would highly recommend her and this practice. read more

I've been to Dr. Shomali several times and am always totally pleased with the professional care I receive. She is efficient and answers all questions that I may have. I've had to call the office on a Holiday weekend and I received a call back within the hour from Dr. Shomali. The office staff will also explain any follow-up needed and actually call the next day to see how I am doing. I've been going to Dr. Shomali for many years and have recommended her to friends. They've been pleased too. read more

My experience with Dr Shomali was one of the most professional medical encounters I can recall. I was in extreme pain and discomfort and in need of an emergency visit with an Endodontist at the end of the day during peak Covid. Dr Shomali fit me in and was incredibly brave to conduct her work with the risk of the virus. She took care of the pain and inflammation and scheduled me for a root canal that was painless. Her staff was kind and supportive. Thank you Dr Shomali! read more

Was referred to Dr Shomali for a root canal. Having had several before, I knew what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised that they took me Early - no waiting! She and her staff made sure I was comfortable and got right to work. The novacaine took effect right away. The whole procedure was painless, and took about an hour. I'm very impressed with Dr Shomali's skill and her 'bedside manner." She made what could have been a painful experience actually pleasant :-) read more

I needed two emergency root canals. This office is the best!!!!!! They got me right in, performed one root canal and prepped the other tooth. They called to check on me every day until the next appt. Dr. Shomali gave me her cell phone number in case I had problems. She is amazing. Gentle and thorough, the office staff is fabulous. Fun and funny, they really make you feel comfortable. I highly, highly recommend this office for endodontics!!!! read more
