11-18-2025 Had a complete oral exam, and had to have a root canal done... Remember people, you're having oral work done in your mouth, so you're going to be nervous / cautious... Dr. Fowler is a straight shooter, no pun intended, he walked me through the entire process, asked me if I had any questions, and or concerns, and I said, what about the pain... He assured me, "I Got You", if you feel ANY pain, just raise your left hand and we'll adjust as needed... He numbed me up and just told me to relax, because he saw me tensing up when the needles came out, HOWEVER, there was no pain during the numbing process... I raised my hand ONCE, he adjusted, I didn't have any concerns and he finished like the professional that he is... I had zero pain when I left his office, I actually went out to eat directly after I left his office... I picked up my medication and took it as prescribed and had zero pain since ... I would return and or recommend Dr. Fowler's office to ANY of my family members... Side Note, the staff were great and professional also... read more

I was referred to Moreno Valley Endodontics by my regular dentist (Canyon Crest Dental) in June 2023 for a root canal. It was my first time experiencing such excruciating tooth pain and I was naturally scared and anxious because I had never had a root canal done before. When I came to MVE, they were running late as the patient before me had complications. I had another place to be right after because I needed to sing for a previously scheduled event. Luckily, the lovely Minna Chun (who is no longer at MVE) assisted me, listened to my concerns, and had me out by the dental office in time for my singing gig! During the root canal, I was surprisingly relaxed and it was quicker than I thought! Although my procedure was over 13 months ago, I wanted to post this review for the business as their entire staff was great that day. They made me feel at ease and were courteous as I waited in their lobby. I was so relieved after my pain went away! Thank you, MVE! read more

I am someone who has a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist. I've had few experiences where I leave feeling better BUT everything changed today when I went to Moreno Valley Endodontics. I was referred by Canyon Crest Dental and Dr. Fowler treated me. Everyone from the front desk to the doctor were amazing! Such a sweet, caring staff. I expressed my concerns and fears and Dr. Fowler heard me and made my root canal experience the best I've ever had at a dentist. I did not feel any pain and he checked on me throughout the entire procedure. I highly recommend Moreno Valley Endodontics and can't say enough great things about Dr. Fowler. Thank you all!!! read more

As a veteran with a 100% disability rating, my dental care is usually handled through the VA. This was the first time I was referred to an outside specialist for a root canal, and I was little hesitant at first. However, the experience exceeded my expectations. Dr. Fowler took the time to clearly explain the procedure beforehand and continued to explain what he was doing throughout the process. His work was quick, efficient, and very well done. His professionalism and experience really made the visit a positive one. The staff were also very friendly and supportive, and the office was quite clean and well organized. I noticed some reviews mentioning the absence of crowns, but it appears this office specializes strictly in root canals. It wouldn't be fair to rate them on a service they don't provide. I highly recommend this office to anyone needing a root canal. Thank you Dr. Fowler for an outstanding experience! read more

I went in for a root canal. This was my 2nd visit to this business. The quality of care was outstanding again. Staff very friendly and professional. Dr Diaz was terrific. read more

I was able to get seen the same-day for a root canal due to having a broken tooth. Was seen by Dr Diaz and she was so kind and put me at ease after I explained how anxious I am towards dental work. This was my first root canal and it was quick and virtually painless. Even got to enjoy listening to Dr. Diaz carry a sweet tune while she hummed a song that was playing. I will definitely come back should I ever need to and also will highly recommend. read more

If I could give a negative 5 to Dr Fowler I would. I am a disabled veteran and the VA refered me to Dr Diaz but my procedures were done by Dr. Fowler and he completed a root canal and a cavity. After the procedure NOt before I was told that they do not place the crown on however the advertisement for MV Endodontist says they crown your teeth. This was my 1st red flag and getting this appointment within 2 days was my 2th red flag. Dr. Fowler completed these 2 procedure in just one day I still had pain in my mouth after about the eight day. So... I came in for a second appointment to ask questions and Dr Fowler was visibly angry and verbally combative that I had come back. He refused to answer a simple question I asked and kept repetitively telling me a step by step of the procedure he had done on me prior. I asked Dr Fowler atleast 4 times about crowns but still never answering my question about crowning. I asked him about my teeth not feeling even on both side and he argued with me about that too. Then out of nowhere and without telling me what he was doing He started aggressively, drilling in my mouth and liquid was continued to drop on my face and he or assistant DID NOT wipe my face. I had to wipe it. After the drilling, I began to cry and no one including the dental assistant gave me any sympathy. It was honestly scary having someone drilling in my mouth yet not being able to answer a simple question about tooth crowns . It was thee worse dental experience I've ever had! Almost Immediately after I left the office he called me and apologized for a "miscommunication " not from treating me unprofessionally and without care. I would never treat another human being like Dr. Fowler treated me, not even the front desk staff had any sympathy for my experince at their office. Its been two weeks now and I still Do NOT have crowns and I have pain in my jaws and mouth. I do not feel safe to go back to this establishment and I would not recommend anyone here. read more

Assume example of quality work. No pain,complete care for me as a customer! Highly recommend this location...thanks to Doctor Lynn!

I love Allie and Lyn so much. They're amazing and made me feel special. I felt comfortable coming back read more

My daughter came here to get her root canal done. She has severe anxiety so she had to go under anasthesia. The surgen who complete the procedure was very kind however knowing she has severe anxiety he did not think to put a crown on right then and there. The reason for that was because "the dental office that sent over the paperwork didnt make a note/comment about that and thats not something we usually do." It was poor thought. She now has to go under anasthesia again to put a crown on when it could have been prevented by doing so at the one appointment. read more

Came here for root canal, referred by Riverside Tooth Co. Honestly I was sketched out because it's in MoVal and I've had bad experiences with dentist In general, but honestly the young doctor who handled my tooth was amazing. He explained everything so thoroughly and simple, and his execution was phenomenal I felt ZERO pain and was completed in a timely manner. Worth every dime spent read more

They were very patient and talked me through everything that they were doing. My very first root canal and they made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Great bedside manner! read more

I came here as a referral from my dentist. Now, I'm terrified of any dental work and Lety made me feel very calm and welcoming. Dr. Diaz was also amazing I didn't feel anything, it was painless. Knowing I was terrified of any dental stuff throughout my root canal process Lety kept checking in on me and making sure I was ok. Prior to arriving they contacted my insurance, and they let me know what was covered and how much my insurance would cover and what would be out of pocket. I definitely recommend this place, based on my experience. read more

So I had to go to Moreno Valley Endodontist to have a root canal done. They are charging me $180 for a CT scan that my insurance company did not cover. And this office knew it was not a covered item with my HMO Delta dental plan. And or they didn't even bother to get approval to see if I was covered for a CT scan with Delta dental HMO insurance before my set appointment time with them .Which is this office is fault. For what it's called and they're Industry preapproval.I had the root canal done and I was charged $610 that day. When I asked before I paid with my credit card credit card with synchrony Bank if that's all I had owed they said yes so.I was charge $610 for a root canal I had to put on my credit card. I get a bill from my insurance company a week and a half ago stating that I owe Moreno Valley endodontist. $180 for a CT Scan that the Asian lady doctor Chang I believe her name was if I'm not mistaken had her assistant do. When I filled out the paperwork for the office which I'll show you proof up with a picture and another picture of what I was charged $610 on my credit card with credit card. The form that I filled out at the doctors office yes it did say I was responsible but at that time that I signed the paper. The amount of the services of the CT scan were not added on to that file of paper that I had signed of approval which she will see in the picture. I called my insurance company up and they said that this is not covered at all and that this Office should've called for a preapproval.And procedure code# D0364. Now this office is charging me $180 for a CT scan that they knew or acted as if they didn't know that it was not covered by my insurance company now they're charging me for it. As you will see in the picture what I signed was not marked on the paper the day that I had signed it it was added after I had left the office. When I asked them if that's all they owed for the procedure was $610 they said yes. Today when I spoke with Leticia on April 13, 2023 she said that the Doctor Who performed the services always has her patients get a CT scan. So that means that this doctor just automatically charges the patient for a CT scan when she knows it's not covered by insurance company this is unprofessional and I'm going to report this office at the doctor to state board, malpractice. If you were the office manager or business owner of this office you better call me personally to my cell phone number which you have on your records to rectify this issue because this is unfair. I called this office up today and spoke with I thought was for the girl by the name of Eli which was a lie it was Evelyn the business manager I was speaking to and she said her name was Ali because she didn't want to take responsibility for their fuck up's when I spoke with Leticia today and advised her I wanted to speak with Ali she told me that Eli was gone for the day and that the business manager Evelyn was there. That means Evelyn lied to me and told me her name was Ali because she didn't want to deal with me with this issue. This office is unprofessional I'm going to report this office to state board Sacramento state of California and for malpractice as you can see there are other pictures on here of other people complaining about the same issue as I am I'm not the only one this office is a crook they like to act like they're a nice family office when they ain't and they're charging people for unprofessional services that we are not approved read more

Dental work was great however, they will try to get you for your money! and I knew this before my visit because I seen previous comments so I was ready for them to pull any bs so of course, after a couple of visits, I got a surprise bill in the mail so I called right away and she said "I have to talk to your insurance, I will give you a call back"...she never called back so I called again the next day and she said "sorry, we're so busy, I haven't had a chance to call your insurance" but that was just bs because she knew I didn't owe anything. I've never heard from them ever since. read more

My son had a root canal there and was charged for a service that was not covered by insurance but was not told that.. He was given a balance for a root canal when in reality he was being charge for a CT scan and 8 months later we received another bill for the balance of root canal.. Very unprofessional & will never return nor will I recommend anyone else as they seem like a car dealership and scam people without their knowledge. If I could rate this place a zero, I would!! read more

Dr. Diaz is exceptional at what she does. Thank you for your attention to detail and excellent work

DONT STEP FOOT NEAR THIS PLACE.....!!!!! I've been trying to deal with a billing issue for over a year! And still no resolution. Wish I could give negative stars...! read more

The staff in the front office was very friendly and professional. They answered all of my questions and was able resolve some problems with my dental insurance. I would highly recommend this dental office. read more

What a kind, gentle, and caring dental office this is. Recently, I was lucky enough to need my very first root canal. I had been in excruciating pain for days, and another endodontist turned me away and told me he couldn't get me "comfotable" enough to do the procedure. I called Dr. Diaz' office and she and her staff got me in the same day. Obviously I lwas nervous since I've never had dental work before, so the staff brought me blankets, cool rags for my neck, and made sure I was comfortable. They were so sweet and patient. Dr. Diaz performed the whole procedure and I didn't feel a thing. I cannot adequately express how the entire office mobilized to help, put me at ease, and gave me some much needed relief. Highly recommend this office. read more

BEWARE! Do yourself a favor and avoid the headache. Dishonest billing practices! I have in writing in an email exactly what the cost breakdown is which was paid in full. Was told consultation fees will be included if services were rendered. Consultation fee was billed at $186.00! Insurance does not cover this fee and they billed our insurance twice, twice it was denied. After the bill was paid in full or so we thought they sent the secondary bill direct to us claiming we are responsible for something that was supposed to be included. Avoid this business at all cost if you want to avoid them milking your pocket book and feeding you lies. read more

The people here are extremely nice but I saw nurses with face masks below their nose and nurses without any face masks at all. Several clients without any masks at all were allowed in the office and nothing was said! I actually had to leave the office because I have underlying health conditions and have to stay away from situations like that! UNACCEPTABLE! read more

My 11 year-old granddaughter's pediatric dentist diagnosed a root canal on one of her permanent molars. Due to her age he recommended that she see a specialist and that she should be put under general anesthesia. I referred her to Dr. Kurt Marcks because he has taken such wonderful care of my husband in the past. She was given an appointment on an emergency basis on Monday and was treated immediately. She had a wonderful experience. Due to the care, kindness and superior treatment, her procedure was performed under local anesthesia. I talked to her Monday night and she was feeling fine. The pain she was experiencing prior to her treatment was gone. She loves Dr. Kurt and has even made a pet rock and named it after him. She also named her new Pound Puppy Kurt. I can not think of a better recommendation than that. read more

I was charged a 175 fee for a CBCT scan by Dr. Retomosa before I knew it was a scan NOT covered by insurance. I was given the price after being given the estimate regarding the root canals I would need. I brought money for 1 root canal which was a co pay of 122.00 but the 175 dollars for the CBCT scan was more than the out of pocket for the root canal. When I saw the price of the scan I couldn't pay for the root canal. I had to go to my car and transfer money from my savings to pay for this scan. I signed an "estimate" AFTER the cbct scan and that should have been given to me BEFORE the scan so I could refuse the scan and save the money for the root canal. I went somewhere else and had the tooth pulled for a 25.00 co pay. Today is saturday and the office is closed so I left a message for their accounting but of course they did this on purpose so they just made 175.00 but I will be filing a complaint with the CDA and see who else I need to inform. Patients need to be told that the CBCT scan is NOT a regular x ray and is 175.00 BEFORE they are given so that they will refuse if they can't afford this scan plus their dental care. And she gave me the CD of the scan like it was going to be helpful to some other dentist. The other dentist didn't look at this useless 175.00 disc. read more

Moreno Valley Endodontics - The paper i signed AFTER the CBCT scan. right is the 122.00 that I knew about. The 175.00 has a 0 insurance payment. I didn't know BEFORE. - Endodontists Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

I recently was referred to Moreno Valley Endodontics after one of my previous root canals became infected. I was in a lot of pain, and Dr. Marcks and the front office staff got me in the day I called. Dr. Marcks didn't skimp on the numbing meds -- I could't feel a thing! That said, the pain relief was immediate. Dr. Marcks and his dental staff are top notch! I appreciate you guys taking the time to take care of me. read more

I took my son here to have a root canal because he decided to grow a extra long root. The team there was very helpful with explaining what needed to be done and they even talk about 2 different options. Prices are always a quote and never guaranteed. He had he work done and than covid hit so the regular dentist was never able to finish the work and put a cap on his tooth. So now we're back here again and they have been great. I don't even live around here anymore but am willing to drive out here for their service. read more

Staff is friendly but when it come to billing they are sneaky in charges be prepared to pay high out of pocket fees that are not explain up front only slapped with the bill after. read more

We are very cautious about our dental care and this office had quick, courteous, informative, and great service. The pricing was fair given "no insurance" situation. We were told they do use Delta Dental also, which is a company with reasonable plans-if there is anything "reasonable" about the cost of dental care. Definitely will go back to Dr. Retamozo! read more

Appointment date 07/03/19. I was totally impressed with MV Endodontics, the entire staff was so nice and caring. I went to have two root canals done because of an abscess under a five tooth bridge, a real involved procedure. I can't begin to say enough nice things about Dr. Bonnie Retamozo, she took the time to explain what actually needed to be done, she was so caring, sweet and helpful with my decision I had to make. She is totally amazing and I would definitely recommend her for any endodontist procedure needed to be done! Margaret M. / Moreno Valley. (Not San Francisco!) read more

DR. Retamoso, assistant and staff very friendly, personable. DR. Retamaso and assistant made me feel at ease during Root Canal. Dr Retamosa and assistant explained to me very well the procedure. I would highly recommend my family and friends to Moreno Valley Endodontics!!! read more

Dr. Marcks was absolutely wonderful! Going to the dentist is usually a painful experience, especially with all my bad teeth. I needed three root canals and my friend recommended them and they were everything I could hope for. Allie in the front desk was sweet and helpful, and Dr. Marcks and Dr. Diaz are both very skilled and easy to work with. Dr. Diaz is very kind and gentle. Exceptionally thorough and with wonderful bedside manners. And I especially love Dr. Marcks' jovial sense of humor and his very memorable voice. Seriously, he sounds like the actor who played Fred on Scooby Doo. It actually made getting a root canal somewhat enjoyable. Great dental office. Highly recommend! read more

I had a root canal performed yesterday at this office. My regular dental office referred me to them. I admit that I was nervous, having had a not so pleasant experience about 40 years ago. First, the support staff was very friendly and professional. Second and most important, my dentist, Dr. Garcia, was informative and gentle. Not only did I not have any resulting swelling, I never had to use a painkiller!! Just a thoroughly pleasant experience. read more

Great friendly service!!! Doctors are kind and make you feel at home.

Was recommended here from my dentist for a root canal. The staff is very friendly. I came in on Monday for my consultation and got a next day appointment. Came in Tuesday at 12 and got my root canal done. In and out in an hour. Zero discomfort during my procedure. The dr was very good. Honestly the easiest procedure I've had done. If you're in need of a root canal, I would highly recommend moreno valley endodontics. Very happy patient. Thank you guys. read more

Was referred to Moreno Valley Endodontics by family dentist. After exam, office staff told me that they had to call my insurance to get authorization. They told me they would call me after they contacted them. After two weeks without hearing from them, I had to call them back. I was told that they were waiting to hear back from my family dentist. Because that didn't make sense, I called my family dentist. I was told they haven't had any request from Moreno Valley Endo. I was later told by my family dentist that this dentist failed to call my insurance company and had made up the story about waiting for a call from my family dentist. The staff at this office is either incompetent or they are liars. Also they are only open 4 days a week which limits any appointments or availability for urgent or follow up care. The Office is located in the seedy part of "Moval" and would not send my wife or kids there because of safety concerns. read more

I had some root canal done by dr Diaz. She is very smart and exprienced. A great dentist. Very satisified

Dr. Marcks is amazing! I needed a root canal and am very nervous when it comes to the dentist. He was so unbelievably patient with me. And his nurse Maria was just as nice. I will definitely go back if I ever need a root canal again. So nice! read more

This was the best dental experience I ever had! The staff was so courteous and kind they made my visit feel as if I was family everyone was very nice and I would definitely go back for any future root canals or any other dental needs that I may have in the future five stars for cleanliness of the building and I wish I could give 100 stars for just how comfortable and easy the procedure for a root canal was. thank you again and God bless. read more
