If you feel like getting ripped off and given the wrong procedure recommendation. This is your place. Expensive copay to not even be seen by a specialist. My wife felt pressured to do a procedure that she did not even need in the first place. No explanation whatsoever of what might be wrong. Just a quick expensive solution. Do not come here. Oh. And she had to visit another dentist. With an honest diagnosis. Who did not pressure her or rush her to make a quick decision on an expensive unnecessary procedure. read more

Everything here is awesome! From the moment you walk in , with the exquisite black leather wooden chairs that welcome you, the warm smiles of the receptionist, and the beautiful travel destination pictures of Dr. Molina ....process was fast, very professional, informative and affordable. Thank you Dr Molina, Ana and all of the team for a great experience.... read more

Molina Endodontics - Office - Endodontists Near Me - Downey, California

I have not had an experience like this at any type of dentist since I was in the military. Vanessa and Dr. Molina were an incredible team, kind, gentle and professional. I was recommended to two other endo offices and did not feel aligned to those, so I found this office and it was a god send! This office does not shame their patients nor show that they are all about greed and money like many other offices. I have heard many previous dentists shame other patients loudly and on purpose, it was so unprofessional and an odd tactic to make more money. I felt comfortable and like I was in a space that truly cared for their patients and the atmosphere was pleasant. Everything that was shared with me was done so in a normal tone and I don't hear other patient's business either, which was great because it really isn't anyone's business what the patients are there for. It's their personal info. I truly wish this was a general dentist office too, because I do not want to go anywhere else now! Vanessa was realistic and empathetic towards some nerves I had about pain. She was honest and her description of the procedure at my expectations perfectly! She is personable and great at what she does. I truly enjoyed this visit, their office was efficient, saw me and provided me immediate service! Dr. Molina is well trained and even attended Harvard, wow. Both of these ladies were very skilled & I couldn't believe how painless it was. You hear those nightmare stories about dental visits, but not here. Skilled and gentle! The only slight pain I felt was just from the numbing, that is it and that was a 3/10 for a few seconds. Everything else was smooth! The office is clean, beautiful and tasteful. I truly did not feel like I was I was in Downey. It was classy, clean and beautiful inside. It was actually clean, unlike some places that buy nice decor to dress up the space but it is actually not clean and dusty. Even their chandelier was clean, that's how you can tell. I enjoyed the lobby/waiting area and how they play enjoyable music. I felt blessed to be able to have these two ladies as my providers today. I do not want to return to my regular dentist at all now haha. I could not say thank you and express my gratitude to Dr. Molina because I had a few items in my mouth when we left for lunch, I hope Vanessa shared my words. Thank you! read more

Dr. Molina is awesome! She is friendly, approachable and a skilled dentist. Staff are also very nice and friendly.

I had a root canal and was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the experience was. The staff was very understanding of my anxiety and made me feel at ease the entire time. Highly recommend. The only down part was the anesthesia that one really hurt. read more

I had 2 root canals done same day The Dr is amazing and all the staff from receptionist to the nurses very kind Respectful and the price reasonable . I was so Nervous going but They did a fantastic job Thank you Dr Molina !!! I will recommend you to my friends and Family read more

Don't come here! Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.. had a root canal done tooth kept hurting came back oh they missed some canals, no big deal right?! Then oh she needs gum procedure, cool let's do it. Not only did she charge my insurance things so didn't get done but when I came back for my follow up still my gum is hurting she wants to redo the procedure smh ok fine. I ask can I get some more filling my tooth is feeling alittle loose instead of her explaining it she she proceeds to laugh and walk away as I'm speaking..how effin rude. Newsflash im not a effin dentist that why I'm here. They don't know what they are doing here read more

I was referred here because my gums were infected and inflamed and I had pain after having a crown placed on. I was told by this office I needed a root canal for a tooth that did not have pain or sensitivity while the crown was not in place and was broken. I proceeded with their recommendations for I came in for inflamed gum and pressure point back tooth after new crown. Thinking they knew what they were doing and entrusting the doctor knew what they were doing. I was told after a 15 min supposed root canal that to take antibiotics and the inflammation would go away. Weeks after the supposed root canal my gums are still inflamed and infected and I am diabetic and I went in to be checked again only to be told I needed the back molar removed. If I came in because of inflammation to the gum and infection and you recommend a root canal and that was not the real issue why would we do a root canal if that was not the problem? They claim I told them I had pain in that tooth. If the tooth was broken and had missing crown and there was no sensitivity prior to a new crown, how now did we need a root canal and the problem still exists? I would have never agreed to a root canal if that was not going to resolve the infection and they gave me antibiotics to resolve the infection that still has not went away and pain still exists, but yet I had a root canal???? I filed a complaint with my dental insurance and when my spouse was in the waiting room they overheard another patient calling in complaining that they did work on the wrong tooth! Stay away, they only want your money but I also filed a dispute with my credit card company and my dental insurance will not pay the claim until it is investigated so I can see another endodontist. Please do not go here, they will do work that will not solve your problem only to get your insurance money and your copay!!! trust me they are not good dentistry!!! I should've checked here first but since I was referred here I trusted them and I am still in pain and still have gums infected only to go in today for them to tell me its my fault I agreed to the root canal and I told them I had pain in a tooth that did not have pain when they checked before placing a permanent crown on that same tooth!! read more

I needed a Re-treatment on a tooth that had an existing root canal. Dr. Molina and her team took great care of my tooth! I had no pain during or after the procedure! Thank you Doctor and Team! read more

Well, I was referred here for a root canal retreatment. That definitely failed. 3 days later I'm here at a dentist getting it extracted. I shouldn't have to pay $850 for a retreatment. Not only did my pain not go away, it got worse. Literally to the point of me crying. I was never in that much pain before hand. I went to a specialist for help and paid out of pocket. For what? Just sucks. read more

Amazing staff and amazing Dr. I was referred here by my primary doctor. Dr.Garcia who may I add is also amazing . But they took care of me here whole way through. I am 9 months pregnant had two really bad root canal's, and had some issues. They were able to help me in short notice, and took care of me , while also keeping up with my medical needs of what I'm able to use and not use due to being pregnant. I would definitely recommend to anyone . Very clean office and professional. Thank you Dr.Molina ! read more

I haven't been to the dentist in years because of the fears and trauma of going to the dentist. Dreading pain and discount but I had absolutly no choice but to have a root canal done ASAP! And what a blessing it was going to this place! Such an outstanding staff, friendly, open, honest, comforting and so much more! No pain...I can't even believe I actually had work done and I can't wait to go back n have more work done that I've delayed because now I finally have no fear due to the quality of care that's given . Highly highly recommend. If u don't Believe me...u have to try it for yourself if need be . read more

I was new to this office. Tooth pain scale 6/10 and was referred to Dr Molina. Her office was able to accommodate me same day. She and her staff efficiently performed a root canal while I watched cooking shows. Dr Molina is personable, professional and an expert in Endodontics. I have worked in medical insurance administration for many years, and my opinion is their office is highly efficient front and back. Her office is immaculate and elegantly designed. I knew I made the right choice. The whole root canal took about 30 min and she and assistant carefully monitored her work with real time X-rays. Based on my experience I feel she is very good at her work and 100% recommend Molina Endodontics. She just knows what she is doing. read more

Molina Endodontics - Smile saved!! - Endodontists Near Me - Downey, California

I was referred to Molina Endodontics by AltaMed. The dental office was very impressive with fancy decor and state of the art technology. The staff was friendly and professional. I felt like I was in good hands. They made sure I was comfortable and completely numb before they did the procedure WHICH I APPRECIATE!! Dr. Molina worked on me personally. She was very kind, comforting, and I really shocked at how fast she was!! HEADS UP: they do take payment in full before any work is done (which I totally understand). read more

I had a really great experience with this office. The staff was friendly. I had been looking for a long time to find an Endo Dr that would treat my son. I'm so thankful that Dr Molina helped me and saved my sons tooth. It's been a week and so far no pain. My son told me how thankful he is that the pain is gone. read more

My dentist referred me to this specialist for my root canal. My initial consultation appointment went smoothly, they took X-Rays and Dr. Molina consulted me. After our discussion, I agreed to proceed with her plan of treatment. My follow-up appointments was disappointed/disaster, I was suppose to come in to get my root canal done following week and on the day of my appointment they cancelled my appointment due Dr. Molina having a meeting. I rescheduled for couple of days later, day before my appointment the office called, I returned their call. At first the receptionist said she didn't call and she was the only one at the desk. Then I hear someone in the background saying she called. The receptionist told me Dr. Molina will be out-of-office and another specialist could perform my procedure the same day,I agreed. But, they wanted to move my appointment to later time on the same day. I told them I will be looking for another specialist since Dr. Molina is too busy. Not sure if there is a communication issue in that office or just dysfunctional. How is it possible my appointments to be cancelled/rescheduled 2X within the same week. My experience was not so positive. read more

Molina Endodontics - A thief , stealing a wallet out a mans back pocket ! - Endodontists Near Me - Downey, California

THREATENED TO SUE ME OVER MY POST!! Just posted an update expressing how I feeling about the fact that there are many 1 start reviews on here, and instead of asking me how they could have made my experience more pleasant or how they can better themselves in the future. The owner took it upon herself to threaten that if I didn't stop posting she would take me to court for defamation. The point of yelp is to be able to express yourself, and share your opinion of a business and so business can learn from their mistakes and do better next time. NOT to be harassed by Business Owners and threatened for Lawsuits. I have many friends and family in law and am blessed with a well paying job so no one is going to try to strong arm me away from my right to express my dismay at the way this business continues to be unprofessional. read more

Molina Endodontics - You can see all the dead tissue from my gums being grabbed so many times. - Endodontists Near Me - Downey, California

See all

RUDE STAFF & decided to go elsewhere after consultation!!! I was referred for a root canal & had a 2:00pm appointment. I arrived about 20 or so minutes early. Mayra was rude from the start. She rudely asked me if I had an appointment which I replied yes. Then she said, "oh, well, I called you a couple times to confirm your appointment and we never heard from you. The doctor was running behind so she went to lunch. She'll be back at 2:30." Which I asked, "what's the point of having an appointment?" She basically blamed me for not confirming BUT I HAD AN APPOINTMENT! Isn't that already a confirmation? Then I tried to get it together and not react to her rudeness and said, "Ok thank you. I'll be back." So already we had a not so wonderful intro. Now it's about 1:45-50. I decide to walk around. Mayra calls at 2:04 to say that the doctor is in. Which is great because I'm right down the street & I'm back in less than 5 minutes. It wasn't until 2:20 that they take me in the back for x-rays. The dental assistant looks like the receptionist has complained about me & barely greets me & is rude herself. So, I'm really trying to mend this atmosphere because I work in customer service so I try to compliment the pretty office & the assistant wasn't really trying to make small talk. So, slience it is. I focus on the TV which is on CNN. They don't care what you want to watch by the way. Before they take x-rays, she starts asking me which tooth they're going to be working on? I'm thinking what!?! Don't you have my info? The she asked, "Is it 19? We don't know because we don't have your referral form." Apparently I was given a referral form that I was supposed to bring (all I got an appointment card). ANNNNNYYYWAY, It was tooth 19! Did she magically guess? Because she hadn't checked inside my mouth yet. She just wanted to be petty. She tries to take an x-ray. The machine is malfunctioning. Finally it's done and they have the picture. She asks if I know that the nerve is exposed? Yes! I know. That's why I'm here. I just said yes. She pokes at my gums roughly and has me bite down. Then, she does a "cold test." She gets something cold (like dips it in nitrogen) and tries the tooth next to the infected one: no pain. But she's holding it there almost trying to see what happens. THEN! I swear!!!!! She uses more pressure and goes right to my affected tooth (btw my nerve is exposed). It HURTS SOOOO MUCH that I immediately started crying and turned away. On a scale of 10 it was an easy 25!! I've never cried at the dentist!!! NEVER!! Never ever!! Not even as a kid!!! She says, "oops, sorry I have to do this." And continues to the other neighbor tooth. She doesn't even give me a minute to breathe. I'm crying!! Give me a second please. She keeps trying to work & I ask her if I can get a minute to collect myself. She takes her hands off me but just stares. like please pretend you have something to do so I can stop crying. Not even 15 seconds goes by before she comes behind me and asked me to open and close my mouth with her hands on my cheeks. Oh and I'm still upset/trying to compose myself. Molina the doctor comes in and suggests I go under sedation. She offers me water or juice which I truly appreciated!!! Minus the fact that it was expired AF and tastes rotten (see picture)!!!!!! PARENTS: CHECK THE DATE!!! It expired may 2017. It's now November 2017. The assistant also gave me water. I'll say that 1 star is for the gesture. At this point, IM DONE!! I refuse to get my work done here. I let them know that I don't have a ride to go under sedation so let's reschedule knowing that I will cancel this appt. I go back to the front, and they still want me to sign the paperwork to get the money!! I let them know that I want to go elsewhere. I'm still slightly crying and upset due to the horrible bed side manners. But, I'm just trying to leave and Mayra is trying to ask why? Like homie!!! I'm crying and you knooooooow the service sucks. I really think she wanted me to say it. I just politely said with tears in my eyes that this is not a good fit. May I go? GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE!!! I thought a referral was a good thing but I will check reviews now!!! Looking at old reviews that mention that they are all about the money, maybe that's why the dental assistant made that cold test so incredibly painful so that the doctor can suggest sedation to make more money. It was like $250 more maybe $400 more. But I really think it was due to Mayra and talking about our introduction. read more

5 star all the way! Came in on Monday for a consultation about a root canal and had an appt that same week on Thursday. I was very nervous about the whole process but Dr Molina and her assistant Carmen assured me I would be ok. I had to get numbed a few times but after that I didn't feel a thing. Was in and out in less than an hour!! Thank you ladies so much...def would refer a friend or anyone in need of a root canal treatment. read more

PATIENT BEWARE !!!! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!!!!! They billed me for a root canal, which I later found out by a different general dentist I don't even have!!!! To make matters WORSE they over charged me $300. I was sedated and it was not included on my ledger, because it was "free". Beware. Rude staff(knowledgeable) , too much SKETCHY stuff is going on in this office. I have my insurance filing a case for a refund. read more

I was recommended by a good friend to come here for my root canals and I am so happy that I did. She insisted that I just come, so I did. It was a bit of a drive for me being in the valley, but I wanted to come to a place I knew would be problem-free instead of researching and trying to choose between the offices closer to me. I was in and out within an hour and a half for 2 root canals. I didn't feel anything. Comfortably watched Food Network TV while they worked on my teeth :) happy camper! read more

I have been to this place twice both for root canals and the experience was FANTASTIC! Let me start with atmosphere and ambiance, it's such a cozy high fashion vibe. Very very very clean and just great vibe and energy. Every single staff member was super nice and friendly. Myra the check in receptionist explained everything in detail with me and answered all of my questions (even the dumb ones lol), Christina my DA was the BEST!!!! She was so patient and explained every step in detail to me which in turn really made me feel comfortable and less afraid. The dentist Ms. Sonia Molina is simply amazing and has hands of an angel!!!!! Let me tell you, when I say I did not feel a thing, I really mean that!!!! She's so fast and gentle and really listened to my concerns and never made me feel uncomfortable. She's also very very nice and has such a friendly personality, the type that makes you wish she was one of your friends lol. Overall I love this place and I really wish that they were a general dentist because I would honestly visit the dentist wayyyyyy more often lol. I recommend everyone come here! read more

Business owner refunded all charges after seeing the review。This tooth had been ruined, needed extraction.

Dr. Sonia Molina and her staff were incredible. The front office staff is friendly and very helpful. They were very nice over the phone when booking my appointment as well. They were able to get me in the very next morning because of the urgent nature of my visit. They were actually able to fit me in the same day to do my procedures. Dr Sonia Molina explained my options and her recommendations very clearly. She also spoke with my existing dentist to review her recommendations. Christina assisted her for my procedures. Dr. Molina has excellent bedside manner and she is very caring. They made sure to schedule my next appointment to get my stitches out before I left. They also gave me verbal instructions for my after care and sent me home with a print out detailing my after care . I would recommend Dr. Molina and her staff to anyone that needs endodontic work. The office itself is beautiful and clean and has great decor. It has a very calming and relaxing environment. read more

I went in for a root canal yesterday and I haven't experienced any pain or discomfort at all. I am a huge crybaby when it comes to pain so I pushed off having one done since the longest. I was referred here by my dentist so I decided to give this place a try. I went in for an original consultation since my dentist thought I needed two root canals done. Thankfully, the staff and Dr. Molina decided that it was only one. On my day of the procedure they made sure that I felt good and that I didn't feel any pain before going further and I really liked that as I've had very painful experiences at dentists. Overall, the root canal took around 50 minutes and I felt no pain at all. I went home with some ibuprofen 600MG but I have not felt the need for it anyways. It is really weird to think that I do not have any pain given the information and videos I've watched but I am really happy that I chose to have my root canal done here! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, believe me I would. Went to this place at the beginning of September, at first it was good, staff was nice, etc. go through questions on why I'm here and what not. I was there for a root canal. Anyways, the dentist sees me tells me their going to pull the root that was extremely infected due to my primary dentist doing a crown on my tooth, so I'm in less pain then to take the ibuprofen they give me and come back in like 5 months. First of all I extremely HATE the dentist especially if it's a new place, due to some bad experiences. Anyways, they numb my mouth, I can still feel everything, so they numb it again and again and again, at this point the needle is starting to hurt me, I ask if I can bring in my fiancé cause he comforts me when I'm in pain, so they let him in, at this point I'm about 6 shots in to numb my mouth. At that point the dentist is frustrated and gives up and says "well imma do this cause it's taking forever" during this process I'm in pain crying and trying not to fall asleep, the dentist notices and says "she's closing her mouth and it needs to stay open if not she'll brake our stuff" and then proceeds to stick like a block in my mouth to keep it open. What ever the finish what their doing and I get to go home. About TWO DAYS LATER I'm in the hospital because the infection spread and my face got swollen, and on top of that I did not get to be discharged in enough time to see my brother one last time before he was shipped off to boot camp. I was depressed because of that, I've stayed in the hospital for about 2 weeks with doctors trying to see if I'll have to under go surgery so the can stop the infection before it spreads through my entire body. A week into the hospital I get a phone call, long behold it's from this place asking how I am, I told them in the hospital because of the infection, and the next thing that came out of their mouth was, "oh, um you can come back and the dentist can see you", I looked at my fiancé in disbelief they told me to go back knowing I'm in the hospital because of their error and I turn around and tell them "no I'm fine, after what happened I won't be returning to your facility any time soon" and hung up. THANKFULLY, the staff at the HOSPITAL, were friendly and did everything they could to make me feel comfortable and were able to bring down the swelling and infection and I was able to return home. With out the hospital I'm not sure what would of happened. I called and canceled my appointment I had with THIS place because of that, and what they did, they put myself and my health in a very dangerous position. I really hope this place gets sued and shut down for the lack of concern this place has for the people that come in trusting them. read more

I LOVE Dr. Molina. The staff is kind and easy to talk to. I feel safe here and was very well taken care of. The facility is sparkly clean and has style. Like most people, I was very nervous to come and get not one but TWO root canals in one sitting but it was a piece of cake. Easy payment and no hidden costs. I was recommended here by Dr. Shauna Lee who is the sweetest and most gentle dentist on the planet. I highly recommend Dr. Molina. read more

Today my son went in for a broken tooth. Service was excellent and they were able to see him right away and proceed with an emergency procedure. Staff was very friendly and informative. Thanks so much for the prompt service! My wife Laura was blown away with the visit. read more

First things first, Dr Molina is an exceptional endodontist. Impressive background/credentials. Nice lady who always has a smile on her face. I actually went over a few specialists prior to making my choice with Dr. Molina. I guess she made a good enough impression on me despite our uber brief, 2 minute consultation. My ony gripe with this facility is their lack of patient education. Unless you ask a ton of questions, you will be left out in the dark. The staff also seem like they just try to get you in and out in a flash without much regard for pt satisfaction. Further, the receptionists seem pretty defensive when you have an honest question or simply dont understand some sort-of-process. All in all, people come to Molina Endodontics for the services of Dr. Molina herself. Although there are some unavoidable instances, you will most likely come out feeling confident that she just saved your tooth. read more

On 12/22/17 my dentist told me I can't wait anymore on a Root canal so she referred me to Molina. I walked in hoping to get a apt before the end of the year wanted to max out my insurance. After the consultation they were able to fit me in. Dr. Paul is the best very little to no pain. I have had this work done in the pass and it hurt,but Dr. Paul took good care of me. Going back in 2018 when my insurance kicks back in. I don't know the name of his Assistant she was great. I would recommend this place to everyone in and out in about 1 hr! Thank you. read more
