Dr. McGuire and his kind folks are all complete professionals, laser-focused on getting the job done right. I've had 3 (of 4 total lifetime) root canals done by Dr. McGuire and his team. Dr. McGuire has always been keen to answer my questions and concerns, and I've never felt any discomfort from the anesthetic needle. I've never been knocked out, but for those worried patients reading this, that IS always a choice you make. The estimates are always on-target and there were no surprises. Magic hands work here! read more

I guess not many of us get excited about dental visits, but I was so pleased with the service and helpfulness of staff here, that I am looking forward to going back to address an issue that was throughly explained to me. I love feeling confident in the endodontst I have chosen, as going in for such work can really make me anxious. Dr McGuire is super knowledgeable with all of the latest equipment to help him do his job well. His assistants helped answer all of my questions and left me feeling like I had made the right choice and that I was lucky enough to find an office that cares and is known for quality work. My regular dentist referred me here, and I am so glad they did! read more

If you have to have a root canal in Austin this is the place to get it. They fit me in for an emergency at 6pm same day and it couldn't have gone better. read more

I can't believe I'm writing a yelp review for the place I get my root canals at, but here we are. I've had the misfortune of needing 2 ASAP root canals due to dental issues that reached critical mass very quickly. The first time I ended up at McGuire, it was a total fluke because they were the only ones who could get me in; the second time I ended up there was on purpose. I'm a very anxious person when it comes to REGULAR dental appointments, so when you're talking about the dreaded root canal, forget about it! And yet, I'm here rating the root canal dealer 5 stars, and that's because this team is that good. Everyone from the front desk to the care team to Dr. McGuire himself is so warm and comforting that it feels more like visiting friends than a doctor's office. They keep a gorgeous space with extra little things like noise cancelling headphones and a nice warm blanket so that you're as comfortably as you can possibly be while receiving care. I'm about 32 hours out from my root canal and I feel so much better, it's shocking. I'm grateful to this office and will continue to use them as things come up. read more

So, I have a fair amount of endodontic work under my belt and through Dr. McGuire I was able to add "root canal retreatment." So, that's not fun, but in the grand scheme of endodontic experiences, this wasn't bad. It was kind of fun and informative. Since most people care about procedure, I didn't feel a thing under the local anesthesia and had I not picked a music station with so many beats, I probably would have fallen asleep. I passed on the laugh gas because...I just don't like the idea of it in general. A retreatment felt a little more involved than just a root canal because in addition to redoing the root canal, they have to drill through your crown as well. There was pain (a lot) afterwards, but Dr. McGuire's office called and checked on me, explained when the pain would peak and what I could take for it. They're very attentive and I appreciate that. Now, as for the office experience I - got some good advice on growing tomatoes (I'd add a picture, but it might just cause confusion) - learned that a horse was not a very effective form of transportation during the icepocalypse - I also just remember laughing a lot (recall, I did not take the laughing gas) I came here by way of referral from my primary dentist and I trust them, so I walked in with the assumption that Dr. McGuire was good. On my follow up, there was an emergency case before me and I was happy to know that in the event of a dental emergency of endodontic proportions, I now have a go-to place. read more

10 stars for this practice! My husband has had two root canals here and has had outstanding results. Dr. McGuire has excellent bedside manner but aside from that, he is really the best at what he does. We can't thank or recommend him enough. Please note that their practice location has changed to Mopac (search on the web for their new address). read more

My whole life i had used the phrase "i would rather get a root canal" when I referred to something really unpleasant. I am now striking that phrase out of my vocabulary after my recent root canal with Dr. McGuire and his team. After 4 days of intense pain, i was referred to Dr. McGuire. He stayed open late to accommodate me and performed the root canal to perfection. The entire experience was unbelievably pleasant. He and his assistant are so cool, competent and confident that I was super comfortable.. I literally enjoyed the procedure and almost didn't want it to end.. i know, sounds crazy. I was laughing so hard for a while they couldn't do the work, haha. Love the Pandora music and head phones while they work, they let you pick the station. 5 stars, well done. read more

You have got to visit Dr McGuire & his team for all your endo needs! They are extremely patient, gentle and informative. I myself work in the dental field and I was impressed with their exceptional hospitality and how friendly they are. Dr McGuire and his assistants work very efficiently and they made sure I was comfortable throughout my root canal. I'm very happy with my experience :) I highly recommend them!! read more

Magical Adventures in Tooth Land, Part I I woke up to the most horrible tooth pain of my life two days ago around 2:30 am. The pain was so bad it manifested as part of the dream I was having until it finally completely awakened me. From about 2:30 to 5:45 I laid awake, in pain, waiting for my Tylenol to kick in and watching mind numbing videos of people falling off of things on Youtube. I drifted back to a 1000mg of Tylenol sleep just about 5:45 only for my alarm to go off at 6:15. This was going to be a fantastic Monday, I just knew it! At work, I asked around to see if anyone had a referral for an Endodontist and was immediately referred to Dr. McGuire at Central Endodontic Specialists by 3 of the executives in my office with a glowing recommendation from all of them. Obviously the track record was strong, plus they accept my insurance, so that's good enough for me. When I called and described my particular situation (a long-ago half-finished root canal that has now become a wasteland of pain and suffering as well as a food magnet) they were able to squeeze me in the same day - which was surprising. I made an appointment, instead, for this morning to suit my schedule. Okay, enough prefacing. My first impression of the office was that it is extremely serene, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The reception desk area is also open, you don't feel like you're being separated into the land of indefinite waiting. The couches are comfortable, complimentary coffee, creams, and filtered water is available and there is a television for your entertainment. The staff go above and beyond not only to explain the procedure you're going to have, but also how your insurance will particularly function, they are up front about the cost of any anticipated work. The office is spacious, clean and relaxing, even in the exam area and their equipment is clearly the newest and top of the line. There are televisions above each exam chair to occupy you while your mouth is otherwise occupied. Dr. McGuire's bedside manner is phenomenal. He is thorough, professional, to the point, and at the same time, reassuring, personable and pleasant. I was treated immediately for pain, the tooth was filled with a temp to protect it from all those painful elements like temperatures of any degree, food... and air. I was prescribed appropriate medications to prepare me for the root canal. Also, I was in and out of the office in a reasonable amount of time. I'm returning next week for a root canal and can could aaaallllmooost say "I'm looking forward to it!" - Well, maybe I'm looking forward to the Valium and taking the rest of the day off! Useful tip: You have to park in the building's garage, which does charge for parking. But bring your parking ticket up with you and they will validate it after your appointment. Part II will follow after the main event. read more

See all

Dental work is never fun but this office was able to get me in for a root canal fast and at a time that worked for my schedule. Everything was clean and felt safe, I felt comforted, it was fast and thorough. Am I allowed to use the work comfortable when describing a root canal? It's so nice to have doctors you trust that do an amazing job. read more

Friendly staff, great Service, professional treatment. The gentle wave treatment is the best way!

I was dreading and fearing my appointment. Once I arrived I was immediately put on my ease by the stellar and friendly staff. Dr. McGuire himself is amazing. I appreciated that he communicated in a friendly, easy and respectful manner. I appreciated his being a straight-shooter. I appreciated his deep subject knowledge. I especially appreciated his being gentle on my sick tooth. I joked that I never want to see him again- (because: endodontics!) but actually if I did need his help, I would have no hesitation or fear or dread. Seriously, you are in good hands with this practice. My experience could not have been better read more

No one likes going to the dentist, and having to have a root canal is right up there with hiking barefoot down the highway through broken glass. However, it certainly helps lessen the fear and loathing of dental procedures when the dentist and staff are this competent and personable. I've just had my second root canal experience of the year at this office, and I can say that both procedures were very positive and pain-free. Dr. McGuire is a gentle and caring person and an outstanding dentist, and this is his specialty for a reason. He is good at root canals. My dentist recommended him as the best in Austin. He explains everything about the procedures and never rushes the patient into anything, just gently makes recommendations. I am a big wimp when it comes to pain and having things done to my mouth, and he went out of his way each time to make sure I was comfortable. He even made me laugh. His assistant was gentle and reassuring as well, and they work very well together as a team. When I had questions or concerns, they patiently answered them all. The front office staff is also very kind and personable. I wouldn't go anyplace else. read more

Apparently, someone started a new page specifically for Dr. McGuire. Much of my review is copied from there, but I'd encourage those who have good words to say for Dr. McGuire, also go to the other page to copy over your review. Regarding Dr. McGuire, he has a calm, relaxed, and good humored demeanor that can only come from someone who is fully confident and competent in their trade. He truly does keep his patient's well-being at heart. For my self, I came in expecting a simple pulpotomy, but found out the best option was an extraction. Mary, Dr. McGuire's dental assistant quickly checked around for oral surgeons that could get me in, while Dr. McGuire explained to me his diagnosis and the best recourse. He knew I was in shock of the situation and was willing to prescribe antibiotics and pain medication if I needed time to think it over. I ended up choosing the extraction (why put off the inevitable?), to which Dr. McGuire commended me. This along with another gesture of great will from him, I have nothing but respect and whole hearted recommendations for Dr. McGuire. As for his office and procedural stations: Coming from an IT and Enterprise Software background, I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of effective technological integration Dr. McGuire has implemented through his office. For those comfortable with computers, filling out that long new patient questioneer can be a pain. CES has it all conveniently available on their secure website, which I happily filled out within 5 minutes. Arriving at the office, they had tablet computers ready to fill out a couple of final items and to sign. The dental equipment Dr. McGuire uses are the absolute forefront of dental technology. Unbeknownst to me, I had been painfully suffering from a cracked molar for a month. The crack was from front to back, so it did not show up in those side-view x-rays nor visible through the magnifying glass of other dentists. Dr. McGuire was quickly able to diagnose the crack using a series of magnifying scopes mounted on a large articulating arm frame. This scope had a second position that allowed his assistant to see his exact same view AND a professional level Canon DSLR Camera attached to the optics to take high-res photos for further diagnosis and record keeping. Keep your list of root canal specialists along with your worries and anxiety short; go see Dr. McGuire and his office staff. You won't regret a minute of it. read more

I wanted to write this quickly, as I have only left Dr. Mcguire's office a few hours since. The receptionists, firstly, were hilarious and welcoming. The dental assistant explained the procedure fully and the doctor, when he appeared, had a very fun relationship with his staff. They made sure that I was comfortable and even showed me what I looked like in a mirror, which was HILARIOUS. Alone, totally worth the trip. The procedure? Not too bad with surround sound headphones to block out the drill noise and TV to flip through. The doc was quick and efficient and I barely felt a thing. The nitrous was actually pretty fun. I'll be back for a second treatment soon, and this time, I won't be dreading it one bit! :) read more

I have a sweet tooth. Needless to say it does have it's downsides. I am what might be considered a "frequent flyer" in the root canal game. Basically i was settled with getting 4 root canals very close together. My dentist sent me to Dr. McGuire and it may sound crazy but i loved my experience. I am naturally a very curious person and so it was nice to have a surgeon who would indulge my curiosity about what was happening in the procedure. While i am not a typically nervous patient i think if you are they are very skilled at making you feel at ease. I enjoyed it so much i was kind of sad that i could only go when i need major procedures done. read more

This review is about a year late but the experience with Dr McGuire and his team is worth sharing. I'm a very nervous dental patient and I was referred to Dr McGuire from Austin Dental Spa (my regular dentist) for a troubled root canal that was so abscessed it was making me ill all the time so you can see it was not a fun visit. He took his time, laid out a treatment plan and gave me something to keep me comfortable in addition to headphone and a playlist of my choice. When I found out today that I had to go back to him for a consult on another tooth, although I was dreading the cost, I knew I was in good hands. Again today he gave me a fair and honest answer which did not include any work being done at him office and just a crown at my regular dentist but assured me if I had any pin at all, EVEN THOUGH he didn't treat me, I could call him for help. What a nice, honest, kind and trustworthy man. I'm grateful for what he has done for me and want to reassure you that if you end up needing his services, you are in the best possible hands. read more

I am a dental colleague of Dr. McGuire's, and I recently had what can only be described as a 5 star experience in his office. My 24 year old niece lives in Nashville, and had called me because she had been told that two old root canals she had done due to enamel malformations in her molars had gone bad, and that the two teeth needed to be removed and replaced by implants. That is an unusual and severe diagnosis for a young adult with otherwise healthy teeth. Long story short, we decided that it was best to fly her to Austin to have a consultation with Dr. McGuire. Due to her work schedule, the only day she could come to town was on a Friday, so Dr. McGuire and his assistant Mari came into work on a day off to take care of her. He carefully evaluated her, took a 3D X-ray (that the Endodontist in Nashville failed to do) and explained carefully to my niece that there were deficiencies in her existing root canals, and that he was confident that if he redid them, that the teeth could and would survive for many, many more years. He did the 1st stage of the root canals that day, and 3 months later completed them. All the infection had cleared up, new bone had grown in where the previous infections had eroded it, and all the sensitivity and inflammation around these two teeth had resolved. She's now going to redo the two crowns, and I have confidence that these teeth will last her for her entire lifetime. Dr. McGuire demonstrated extreme empathy, concern, expertise, humor, and selflessness throughout this entire process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His staff is very kind, and almost all of them are cross trained to work both in the clinical area (doing root canals) and at the front desk (answering your questions on the phone). This means that everyone knows everything in his office. The office is clean, modern, and tastefully decorated. He has a TV and coffee service in the waiting area for those who are lucky enough to not need a root canal! 5 stars all around for this exemplary office! read more

Excellent care that has put a definitive end to a failed root canal. If you have a similar situation, I highly recommend Dr. Mcguire's practice because it can spare you unnecessary and incorrect interventions!! read more

The Gold Standard! These guys are the best! Dr. McGuire is an experienced endodontist who really has a talent for his work. On top of that, he has top-of-the-line equipment and an excellent office staff that makes you feel like family. Dr. McGuire gave me a root canal on a back molar with unusually complicated roots. He did the job well and the pain was gone. Great work! A year later, I came back to him because I foolishly allowed an inexperienced dentist who took my discount dental insurance to replace the crown on a neighboring tooth. Long story short, that dentist messed up the job and the tooth hurt like crazy for months until I finally broke down and called Dr. McGuire. His people worked me in fast. Dr. McGuire took one look at the tooth and saw the problem right away. The crown was a millimeter too high! He sanded it down and the pain is finally easing. Bottom Line: This is the place to go if you want your dental work done right. read more

I can't express enough thanks to Dr. McGuire and his assistant nurse. I was almost a dead body with huge pain over all of my left head, face, chin and neck. After ER treatment on Saturday, the pain got lower but kept coming back every 4 hours. Now, I understand why those strong pain relievers were needed for every 4-6 hours. When I met him for the first time, he explained very kindly about my condition and provided options. During the treatment (root canal), I didn't even realize he's working on it. After 40+ minutes of treatment, the world changed and everything looked beautiful. It's my 2nd day after treatment and I don't feel any pain even without taking pain reliever. He's a like a magician and a super dentist. read more

Dr. McGuire is seriously a life saver. His office is closed on Friday's but i had a serious tooth ache that needed attention ASAP and it couldn't wait til Monday. I was able to get ahold of Dr. McGuire through their emergency line and he sent in a prescription for me. I feel amazing compared to how i was feeling. He also scheduled me an appointment for an emergency root canal this Monday. He was able to squeeze me in and I appreciate him so much. His staff is wonderful and I would recommend anyone to his office. read more

I want to warn you that although I had a good experience with the root canal I received from Dr. McGuire back in April of 2017, I will not be going back. I called his office today to set up an evaluation for another troublesome tooth and after giving Mari all my information she informed me that they would not be able to accept me because I had an outstanding balance that they had sent to collections. I was completely caught off guard. This was the first time I was made aware of it. Apparently my insurance did not cover a remaining $36. She said that they had sent emails and one hard copy. None of which, I was aware of. Instead of placing a call after I had not responded to them they sent my account to collections. I work hard to keep my credit score and am very disappointed in their customer service. I was not expecting to receive any additional bills and was not looking for them in my email. If you use their service, just be sure and do your own billing customer service and follow up with them post procedure to make sure they have everything in order. read more

Dr. McGuire is the best guy in town to see if you should need a root canal. He is caring and genuine. With so many choices in town (and I know because I consulted with a few), he was the most honest. If you don't need a procedure, he will be the first to let you know. I've had a couple root canals and both healed beautifully with minimal pain. I am a nervous dental patient and must have laughing gas, which his office provides during your procedure. He is quick yet thorough and his assistants are all wonderful. Great staff and wonderful doctor. read more

I was referred to Dr. McGuire over a year ago by my Dr. Patton (who is also the greatest!) and I'm so glad I met this guy. He and his staff were so sweet, he took a look at the mess a dentist in Amarillo made of this one tooth and explained what was up and what needed to happen and it wasn't him that would have to do it. They were very patient and took their time with me even though they weren't making a dime off of me. I love this practice and if I ever need to have anything done that is in this field I will be back in that office in a flash! The office is beautiful, quiet and inviting. There's no way to say enough good things about them. You will love this place! read more

Our regular dentist was out of town and listed Dr. McGuire as the contact for emergencies. My son called from camp with tooth pain and needed help right away. Dr. McGuire returned our call that night and came in early the next morning to see my son. The experience was fantastic from our first contact with the dentist to all of the office staff. We are so thankful for the care they all showed in what could have been a disaster. read more

This place was great! I was referred to see Dr. Mcguire and they say me the next week and scheduled enough time for the root canal on the spot (you know when you need a root canal), so he checked to make sure I needed one and they got right to it. I've seen many dentist in my life but this is the first time I've been truly comfortable during an invasive procedure like a root canal. The hygienist was very sweet and reassuring, and then lent me a pair of noise canceling headphones and I plugged into those and as I was getting high on the laughing gas she told me that they could mute the headphones if they needed to tell me something and just to crank up the music and relax. I did, and it was fantastic. They put one of those things in my mouth that kept it open and the headphones just about completely drowned out the sound of the drilling and the dentist/hygienist talking and I actually fell asleep. That really is the best way to have a dental procedure. Then when it was all done they told me everything went great and my tooth was totally fixed and I didn't have to come back in, that everything was done. Perfect! One of the best experiences I've had at a dentist in a long time. I'm still recovering now, but they said that they'd call tomorrow to check in, I'm sure they will. A+ read more

I'm sorry to see that Corey B. had a bad experience with the folks at Central Endodontic Specialists. Here's mine: The office is in a central location, which I appreciate. When you walk into the office, its clean, bright and welcoming. Its a small staff, but they are all super friendly. When I went in for my consultation, Dr. McGuire sat with me and answered all of my questions without rushing me. I am a nervous dental patient and since these procedures are costly, I want to make sure this is something that I absolutely had to do. He was really helpful and made me feel as comfortable as possible. The office was supposed to call in a prescription for me to take before my procedure. They did this immediately- so convenient. Today (1/4) I had the first appointment of my root canal. I arrived early and the appointment began right on time. I was taken back to the chair and the hygienist made sure I was comfortable- asked me if I wanted a blanket, if I was anxious at all, if I wanted my iPod or TV on, etc. The root canal came and went. While dental work is never comfortable or enjoyable, Dr. McGuire did an excellent job. They are encouraging during the procedure telling you that you are doing a good job, etc. etc. I would recommend Central Endodontic Specialists any time. They are great in many aspects. read more

Dr. McGuire and his staff are EXCEPTIONAL. I had a visit earlier today, and--though I rarely write reviews--I was so touched by the consistent kindness and impressed with the consistent professionalism and attention to detail that I had to yelp about it. First off, I have seen him as an endodontist for several years--I'd guess five or so. Unfortunately, my genetics tend to lend themselves to more root canals than I care to remember so I have seen a couple of different endodonists in Austin before I finally discovered Dr. McGuire and his team. Prior to seeing Central Endodontics the experience of a root canal was the typical miserable and dreaded process (not to mention a real lack of attention to detail and condescending staff). The first time I went to McGuire I was just happy because he was much closer to my home--I had no idea what I had been missing in the way of quality care. In short, they FAR exceeded my expectations (and continue to years later). From the outset, the staff are kind, helpful, and warm. They are super professional but they also remember my name, my husband's name, my daughter's name and make sure to ask about her. They are thoughtful when scheduling appointments and just overall GREAT people. As for Dr. McGuire, he is also kind, warm, and remembers my husband by name and daughter as well. He is the consummate perfectionist--which is what I want from healthcare providers--and has taken so many more precautionary steps to ensure that the procedure is optimal than other endodontists that I have seen. It has also been a pain free experience (compared to minor issues I've had with others). He has state-of-the-art equipment and knowledge and it shows up in the relaxed environment it affords his patients. Last year because of vacation scheduling I had to see another endodontist and the comparison highlighted the quality of care that Dr. McGuire offers. Together with his staff, he has set the bar very high for other medical professionals. read more

Ok, let's get it out there - there are surely cheaper people in town to do a root canal. However, I am glad I was referred to this office. Root Canals are never fun, but this was pain free, relaxed, and easy as can be. Dr. McGuire introduced himself to me and handed me over to his assistant (you were awesome, I can't remember your name though!). The funniest thing about the visit - they get you high on nitrous and numb the hell out of you, and then try to have a conversation with you. I would think that this is the way they entertain themselves and screw with patients.....sadistic as hell, but as long as the gas is flowing- who cares. It was simple, pain free, in and out. State of the art equipment and nice office. No issues here. Recommended. read more

If you need a root canal this is the office you want to go to !!!!! I was recently referred by my dentist for a root canal to another provider but I remembered I had a root canal done by Dr. McGuire a few years ago and knew that was where I was going. The office is immaculate, the staff is friendly and helpful and Dr. McGuire is an absolute amazing dental healthcare provider. You realize you are in a doctor's office that cares about you and your needs, they have state of the art technology and equipment and you are treated like you matter!!!! I would highly recommend Dr. McGuire and his staff. read more

A big THANK YOU to Dr. McGuire and his team! They made me feel calm and comfortable and I couldn't be more grateful. Alexis and Mari were awesome in educating me about the root canal therapy and Kuniko from the office went above and beyond with her kindness and follow up. I'd had sensitivity and pain in my tooth for so long, I forgot was it was like to not have pain! I had the procedure yesterday and have never felt better! read more

Absolutely wonderful. The silencing headphones and laughing gas drowned out my nerves. I didn't have to worry my head was positioned wrong or I needed to bend a certain way. The staff and Dr explained everything. Plus, the biggest plus, no pain. My tooth doesn't hurt and I can sleep tonight without an ice pack. This is truly the best experience I've ever had with a root canal. read more

Excellent work from top-notch, professional and courteous people. I dreaded a root-canal so much, I put it off only to suffer nearly every time I ate on that tooth for a year or more. Dr. McGuire made a much-feared procedure effortless and pain-free. They will take care of you and I would recommend them to my best friends and family. I only wish I'd gone in sooner: I can eat ice-cream again!!! : D read more

I had a root canal performed here two days ago. Everything went well. The office was able to schedule my appointment immediately and even saw me early since I got there about a half hour before my appointment time. The staff was professional and friendly. And I really enjoyed getting to watch tv while the procedure was being done. Cost wise, it was more than I would have liked, especially with insurance, but I guess thats to be expected and was not the fault of the practice. Update: I just got a call from the receptionist checking to make sure I was doing okay after my root canal. How nice ! read more

Dr.Mcguine is amazing and professional. He answers all the questions patiently and is very calm. The team is amazing and very helpful. Did my root canal today and actually slept on the dentist chair.. The noise cancelling head phones and the local anesthetics took me to another world.. read more

Dr. McGuire and the staff were absolutely incredible. I am one of those people that have a really hard time with the dentist and even cleanings can be an anxiety attack let alone major work. I've always had really negative experiences with past dental offices and so naturally I went into this one with nothing but concerns, fear and anxiety for a root canal procedure. Well, if I came to this office from the first dental visit I ever needed, I don't think I would have ever developed those fears and anxieties from dental offices. The staff was incredibly friendly from time I entered through to leaving. Dr. McGuire took all my concerns and history very seriously, he listened well and make me feel comfortable moving forward on the procedure. With the nitrous and the headphones playing whatever music I wanted... it put me at ease. Even getting the area numb was painless. When the root canal procedure was over, I couldn't believe it... I thought it was just beginning as I didn't feel any pain yet (all other procedures I had, if not put to sleep and only numb, I always still felt the pain and so it was expected. ) Afterwards they prescribed medicine to make sure I stayed comfortable post-op and I certainly did. This turned out to be the best dental experience I have ever had and I would highly, highly recommend Dr. McGuire to anyone considering who to go with. Great job, A+ all around! read more

I can't believe I'm writing that a root canal was a good experience - but Dr McGuire and his staff did an amazing job. This was my first root canal so I don't have a benchmark but it couldn't have gone any smoother. Everything was well explained so there were no surprises, the procedure was painless, and I'm writing this an hour after leaving the office. Highly recommended!! read more

Go HERE!! McGuire and his staff are AWESOME! I had a root canal done on Friday and they worked with me before and even AFTER the procedure as I've had issues with the antibiotics and inflammatory medications not working. They seemed to understand the problem and quickly came to my aid. In fact, Eli called me on Monday, after the procedure to see how I was doing. YAY! I love follow-up... and not meaningless follow-up but follow-up where if I need something... they are there... and they were. McGuire was very very nice. He was running a little late which didn't bother me at all because he was supposed to have Friday off... but decided to come in because a couple of his patients, including myself, were in real need of his help. I like being talked to throughout the procedure and told what is going on... it helps calm me down. He did that and his medical assistant, Mary, was sooooo great! I couldn't see her from my angle but she touched my shoulder and it immediately put me at ease. He also offered me, and I accepted, the ability to view the procedure on video - which was super cool! It was so calming and gave me great insight so that when I was talking with my dentist on Monday, I knew exactly what happened. I don't want any more root canals... but if I am unfortunate enough to need one... there is NO QUESTION where I will go! McGuire ROCKS! read more

OMG, I am no longer terrified when it comes to getting dental treatment in Austin! *tears* I was recently referred to Dr. McGuire and his team for a root canal on a tooth that had previously been "treated" by another..."dentist" (*cough* inexperienced butcher at a dirty strip mall because at the time I didn't have dental insurance). Dr. McGuire, with the aid of his warm and wonderful staff, expertly repaired my tooth, and did so with the utmost care. Not only are he and his staff awesome professionals, but the facility is lovely (and their scrubs weren't dirty and there weren't holes in the floor...yeah, I'm still a little traumatized by the butcher). Dr. McGuire and his team are so great, they make me wish for more root canals (just kidding, dental treatment is still HELLA expensive). But for those in need of tooth repair, I highly recommend Central Endodontic Specialists. read more
