I had an excellent first experience with the Endodontist, Dr. Jason Calvert at the Alameda location. He was so amazing! He explained every step from beginning to end. He was very patient and caring the entire time. The staff was also extremely professional, friendly and caring from the moment I arrived. The procedure was explained clearly, and they made me so comfortable throughout the visit. The staff Assistants - Anna and Monica were SO awesome, the front desk clerks - Gilma and Kat were absolutely wonderful! Everyone was so efficient, knowledgeable and attentive to my needs. I truly appreciate the outstanding care I received and would highly recommend this office to anyone needing endodontic treatment! read more

I was treated so kindly, which is the best when in pain! Dr. Calvert, assistant Emily did a great job with my root canal and Maddie, Angelica and Kat at the front desk were warm and helpful. I'm very appreciative to all at Oakland-Alameda Endodontics! read more

Everything completely professional from reception to Dr. Calvert. This was my second time getting service there and zero complaints.

I have been patient of Oakland-Alameda Endodontics for over 10 years, the last time was July 27,2026 where I was treated by Dr.Nabipour and his assistant Emily, their service was very gentle,thorough and impeccable; not to mention that I did not feel any pain during and after the operation. I furthermore appreciate that the office followed up with a phone call to make sure that I am OK the next day. I must also mention that they only charged me one time fee while for my procedure they had to perform twice, the reason was that the first time, after about one hour of work Dr.Nabipour could not remove all root canal since I had severe infection, my root canal was not dry so he had to see me a week later where he performed a perfect operation. Over all I really appreciate Dr.Nabipour, assistant Emily for their very professional service and the front desk Angelica and Kat for their friendly help. read more

Excellent, very professional: from the beginning the receptionist very polite, helps us making the appointment, the office very presentable, and the endodontist did an excellent work, the equipment very modern, we thank you for you work. read more

Excellent professional staff and care. Impressed with the expertise of Dr. Nabipour and his staff, Marisela, Maddy, Isabella and Ana. The referral was sent in the morning and the staff accommodated my needs to fit me into their schedule mid-day the same day for a much needed and timely consultation. read more

I was referred to Dr. Calvert for a root canal on a fractured tooth. After a thorough evaluation and initiation of the procedure he informed me that the fracture was too deep and that a root canal was not the best option. He recommended that the involved tooth be extracted. He explained each step of the process in detail and kept me informed as we proceeded. He is funny, kind, gentle and extremely professional. I He made sure I had no pain. His assistant, Sonia, and his front desk staff are also top notch. I am so grateful that I was referred here. If I require any future endodontic work I will head on down to this office. read more

Dr. Jason Calvert and his staff, Assistant Sonia, Monica, Ana and the front desk, Maddy and Mansela were simply AWESOME! My infected root canal was diagnosed and treated with expert precision. Dr. Calvert made sure I was comfortable and not in any pain throughout the entire procedure. Dr. Calvert explained everything in great detail and patiently answered all of my questions and concerns. I was extremely nervous and anxious but Dr. Calvert calmed all my fears. Dr. Calvert is professional, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, comforting, calming and friendly. I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Jason Calvert and his team other than Dr. Jason Calvert is simply the BEST! read more

They do good work. They prioritize comfort above all. The entire appointment was 2 and hours long but it felt like 30 minutes.

My regular dentist referred me to Dr. Nabipour about my tooth, which had an ancient root canal and a crown and was quite painful. The referral was sent on Wednesday afternoon and I was in Dr. Nabipour's chair by 8:45 AM the following morning. The Doctor and his assistant Jessica were professional, kind and personable, and they're very knowledgeable with a high level of expertise. Dr. Nabipour immediately diagnosed the problem and promptly fixed it. The whole procedure was PAINLESS!, even the novocaine shots were painless. I've had a few root canals and this was by far the best experience I've had. The front desk staff, Kat and Maddy were very welcoming and kind as well. I am thoroughly impressed! read more

This review is long overdue but I cannot recommend Oakland Alameda Endodontics enough. My regular dentist was out due to surgery and this is the office that was handling her emergencies while she recovered. I had a dental emergency happen around 3pm and was able to be seen that afternoon and everyone was so nice and accommodating. Gilma at the reception desk made me feel calm and comfortable while going through a traumatic situation. Monica assisted Dr. Calvert and both were professional and reassuring throughout the appointment. They told me what they were doing every step of the way and I am so thankful for them! read more

I had a root canal today done by Dr. Nabipour and I can't express how grateful I am for him. The office got me in at the last minute and it went so well; there was absolutely no pain and no problems. He is a great doctor and if I have to ever have another root canal, I will go to no one else. Thank you Dr. Nabipour (and staff, who were also amazing). Kathryn read more

My dentist sent me to Oakland-Alameda Endontics after they identified what they thought was the need for a root canal. I was taken to a room where they administered what is called a cone beam CT scan. My endodontist, Dr. Nabipour, with the visual results from the cone beam scan, confirmed that I did have an infection. I thought Dr. Nabipour did an excellent job on my root canal. Something that needs to be mentioned is they used the Gentle Wave machine to clean out the residual pulp and bacteria in the canal and roots. Post root canal I did some research on the use of the Gentle Wave machine and available information on it was very positve with better outcomes than the older method of cleaning and disinfecting. read more

Earlier this year I found out that I would have to get a root canal. This was not only my first root canal, but also my first dental procedure of any kind (never even had a cavity filled). I was extremely anxious and the first endodontist I went to was very casual about the procedure and hardly explained anything. I knew I needed to find someone I could trust and who would put me at ease. I am so lucky that I received a recommendation for Dr. Calvert because I could not have found a more caring, informative, and patient provider. At my first visit he explained the diagnosis and procedure in great detail, answered all of my questions, and told me about my options to help reduce my anxiety (I went with the Ativan). I warned him and his staff that I would also need to bring a stuffed animal and noise cancelling headphones, which they were all perfectly fine with. On the day of the root canal I was still pretty nervous, but his assistant Maggie was exceptionally kind and told me exactly what to expect. Dr. Calvert checked in with me throughout the procedure to make sure I was doing okay, and at no point did I feel any pain. With the bite block for my jaw and the little curtain between my bad tooth and the rest of my mouth, I felt comfortable and distanced from all the action of the root canal. Afterwards I had very little pain and only needed a couple of ibuprofen over the next few days. I wound up needing a follow-up procedure a few weeks later, but this time I didn't need to take any anxiety medication. I knew I was in good hands. Thanks to Dr. Calvert and all his staff for being so warm and caring, it truly meant the world to me. read more

For the Oakland office: This office is really good and I'm a pretty miserable dental patient, so that's saying a lot. I was in a lot of pain due to an infection in a molar and the very helpful and friendly receptionist, Marisela, was able to fit me in same-day for a dreaded root canal with Dr. Auerbach. The Oakland office is located on a quiet street on Pill Hill where lots of other dentist are. Inside the waiting area is relaxing and well tended to with a marine-life theme throughout the office that works! Reception, again, were lovely, prompt and helpful. Not too much paperwork. Sonia called me back to do a CT scan and X-rays. She was very friendly, gentle and put me right at ease. She was there for the entire appointment, assisting the Dr. and her energy and presence was grounding. She was a good listener and very attentive. Dr. Auerbach was super solid, I'm relieved to say! You can really tell she knows what she's doing and seems to even have a passion for her work. She was also friendly, attentive and gentle, going really slowly with anything that might've been at all painful, numbing me up more than most upon request (I always need more) and reassuring me she would stop to give me more if I had any sensation at any point, which, at one point, I did (very slight), and she did! It was my furthest back molar and I'm sure it was a big challenge with my fussy neck (they gave me a pillow) and fussy jaw (couldn't open my mouth very wide so I'm sure she had very little room to work). They were so sweet and understanding and she worked confidently, efficiently and delicately. I loved that she showed me my X-rays and CT scans and explained her very thorough and gentle assessment very thoroughly! After she was finished, she showed me the X-ray of the tooth and it looked so much better than my prior root canals (also on the X-ray). I attribute this to the Gentle Wave technology she used which cleans the whole root system out very thoroughly, and to the exemplary talents of Dr. Auerbach and her stellar team! She called twice today to check on me. I can say I have the usual post-root canal soreness but that it is very easily managed with the simple ibuprofen treatment she prescribed and is already feeling a lot better after less than 24 hrs. I called reception about a billing question and Marisela again was very helpful, expedient and so nice! From start to finish it has been a pleasure to be able to put my trust in this team in a moment of pain and vulnerability! If I have any future endodontic needs, I will be reaching out to this office and Dr. Auerbach! read more

Bad. Charger on my credit card than sent it to third party said I didnt paid for that Now I have to open the dispute for my credit card company again Also my tooth has not been fix. Still painful Bad experience there never go there again read more

Dr. Jason Calvert and his assistant Monica are the "Dynamic Duo" to me. They present themselves in a calm, professional manner with a patient-friendly approach. For my initial root canal consultation, Dr. Calvert explained what he saw in my x-rays and how best to proceed. He listened carefully to my questions and responded with specific answers allaying any concerns I had. On the afternoon of my procedure, Monica greeted and made me feel at ease by explaining the initial procedures she would complete prior to Dr. Calvert beginning his work. Dr. Calvert then explained to me each of the steps he would perform so I knew exactly what to expect. Dr. Calvert also told me this procedure had benchmarks by which he would know we were on-track or if additional work might be required. It almost felt like Dr. Calvert was educating me in a brief, simplified version of "Root Canal 101". I really appreciated it! The way Dr. Calvert and Monica work together was impressive, too. Dr. Calvert would request a specific tool or fitting and Monica had it ready for him in nanoseconds. This was teamwork at its best. Though it has been many years since my first root canal at Oakland-Alameda Endodontics, based on my successful root canal procedure yesterday, I have Dr. Calvert's office phone as one of my "favorites" on my cell phone in case I need a 3rd root canal in the future. read more

This one goes out to Dr. Calvert and assistant Monica, both heroes in my book. He was able to see me at the last minute, when a late afternoon opening occurred, and he attended to relieving the excruciating pain I was experiencing due to a dead root. Throughout the process, he was clear, concise, compassionate, and cordial, alerting me to each new phase of the procedure and moving with the kind of swift control that conveys the accuracy of professional experience - supported by alert and sympathetic Monica. Afterward, I went to my local pharmacy to pick up a small dose of prescribed vicodin only to discover that it was on back-order. The post-operation pain was crippling me, despite a dose of tylenol and ibuprofin, so I made an emergency call to the office, and despite it being after-hours, I was able to connect with Dr. Calvert who transferred the prescription to a nearby pharmacy. Now, without going into details of how, I must emphasize that he went out of his way to make this transfer happen before the pharmacy closed. This far exceeded my hopes; indeed, this whole experience restored for me a little faith in humanity. I cannot thank Dr. Calvert and Monica enough. read more

Dr.Calvert and his staff are excellent providers of care. My infected root canal was treated with the most timely diagnosis and treatment I could have hoped for. And all the follow up x-rays and consultations were quick and easy. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful everyone at this office was! Gilma and Cat are superstars and were so helpful and accommodating. Dr. Calvert and Dr. Napipour were so patient, knowledgeable and just lovely to engage with. Incredible care by an incredible team! I can't thank them enough! read more

I missed appointments due to health issues and they complained to my main dentist who now after 18 years of service charges me $200 deposit when I make an appointment. Have some empathy and compassion. Healthcare should be free. You do not know whats going on in my life its unfair to damage my reputation at a lifelong dental practice. You guys are not nice, avoid this place. read more

I have never had a better experience being treated by an endodontist! I needed a root canal and was pretty nervous. But Dr Calvert and his assistant (forgot her name...sorry) put me at ease and swiftly performed the magic procedure. From the injection of Novacaine to when it wore off, I had ZERO pain or discomfort at all! I have to go back next week for second root canal but I have no worries about it! Thank you, Dr Calvert and all the staff! read more

Dr. Jason Calvert is a pure professional. He explained everything about my root canal procedure that i needed to know, and more. He was clear, and compassionate, and he's a really nice guy too. He performed the root canal with expert precision, and made sure i was comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr Calvert has to be happy he found an Assistant like Monica. She is very thorough in preparation, and and assisted the Dr. in every way with her expertise also. She's also very competent and a very nice lady. They are a great team of Dental Professionals. 10 in my book. read more

I had a first time visit with Dr. Calvert, he let me know I needed a root canal. When entering the waiting room, the receptionists were very welcoming and acknowledged me immediately. I was nervous but was relieved after talking with Dr. Calvert that it would be an uneventful experience. The procedure was a bit more extensive due to my tooth anatomy. He did a meticulous job. Both he and his assistant Monica were phenomenal with checking on how I was feeling. His manner was extremely friendly, comforting and knowledgeable. I wish he could be my regular dentist. I have experienced no pain or soreness the day of and the day after. 20 stars. read more

So this review is strictly for the receptionist, Christina because I did not get a treatment from this place. My tooth was hurting and would need root canal so I called up a few places. Christina was very upbeat and super nice! It is not her fault that there are no open appointments available sooner, so I didn't end up going there. I gave her 5 stars because even when I told her I was calling a few places she still helped me calculate how much I would need to pay out of pocket and checked my insurance. Thanks to her I knew the previous place my gen dentist referred was going to charge me ridiculously! Also, I have called her a few times inquiring, made an appointment, asked questions and cancelled appointment. All those times, she had a great attitude! read more

I'm glad my my colleague highly recommended Dr. Calvert & this office. This is my first time having a root canal. During my initial consultation and procedure, I felt like I was in good hands and I had a great experience. Although I did not have any pain beforehand, I was nervous about the procedure. I can't thank Dr. Calvert & Diane enough for their high quality care & attentive service. I am grateful to both of them for taking their time and great care of me. I concur with the other reviewers, they are a great team that communicates & work very efficiently with each other. Dr. Calvert & Diane, thank you very much for making my first root canal a pleasant & painless experience! :) read more

If one has to get a root canal, I highly recommend Dr. Calvert (and his assistant Monica). They are professional and kind, and the procedure was completely painless (including the Novocain injection!). Dr. Calvert kept me informed at each step of the procedure and regularly checked in with me about my comfort. Although I hope to not need to undergo the procedure again anytime soon, the thought of having to get a root canal will no longer send shivers down my spine! Thank you, Dr. Calvert and Monica! read more

Dr Nabipour was professional, friendly, and efficient. His office has a great location on pill hill in Oakland and has great parking. His staff are all very friendly and professional as well. I'm not a fan of root canal but am happy to have a great local Endodontist. read more

Recently had a root canal procedure with Dr Calvert and his great assistant Sonia, a great team. Really can't believe how safe and easy I felt being under their care. No problem the rest of the day or the next day. Fantastic. Thank you read more

I had to get done a root canal which I was in pain for several days. Dentist Unes called me on Sunday night to check on me. Him and his staff are life savers. He talked to me in a very calm way and made the process super smooth. He explained every details. Thank you so much. You guys rock!!!!!!! read more

Jason Calvert has "saved the day" for me twice. When other dentists gave up and recommended extractions/implants, Dr. Calvert saved my teeth from extraction. The only painful part was my anxiety! Dr. Calvert and his assistant Sonia totally put me at ease and even cured my anxiety! Hate to give 5 stars when at least 100 are deserved! read more

Superb endodontic service from this provider. Dr. Calvert and assistant Monica (all the assistants) at the Summit Street office in Oakland are as professional and helpful as any dentist and office can be. Clear information, fair pricing, real follow-up care, etc. read more

I came here few months ago for a root canal and I'm so relived that I found this dental office. This was my first time here and I was seen by Dr. Unes Nabipour. I must say that Mr. Nabipour is very professional and makes you feel at ease. He gives you as much information about what's going on with your tooth and what he will perform and if you have any questions he makes sure to answer them all. My root canal took 4 hours, because my body wouldn't take the numbing agent, which is nothing new for me. Finally by the 4th try I was number pretty good and couldn't feel a thing when he was drilling and fixing my tooth. Also what took so long is that he also did a crown for my tooth to get it all over with so I wouldn't have to come back. My experience here was great and I honestly would recommend Dr. Unes Nabipour to anyone who needs a root canal. This office is clean, neat, professional and the dental assistants that work with him are very sweet and warm and make you feel at ease. I'm sure everyone would agree that root canals aren't fun, but if your going to get one done then get it done here. I'm positive you'll have the same professional service I did! Thanks Dr. Unes Nabipour! read more

Dr Calvert saw me on the same day I was referred to him. I was in so much pain, but he fixed it almost immediately. The shooting nerve pain was changed into a much more manageable dull ache that recovered very quickly. Before seeing Dr. Calvert, I couldn't drink cold water without killing myself with my bad tooth. The day after I was eating ice cream! It's been 3 months since I got the root canal by Dr Calvert and my tooth is still doing great! read more

Dr. Calvert treated me for a root canal my dentist had tried and failed to do (note to others, just go to the endodontist rather than letting your dentist give it a shot) and he was wonderful. It took some time to finally get the tooth to calm down, but he was very empathetic and took time to understand my history, current pain and problems. I even broke down crying at one point during the consult because I was feeling so frustrated and overwhelmed by how much pain I had been in for so long and he was very reassuring and calm - exactly what I needed before gearing up to be treated and getting it fixed once and for all. Turns out, the tooth that was treated had some extra root canals that wasn't evident in just regular x-rays. Dr. Calvert has a machine that takes 3D x-rays so it was possible to see where the small, and hidden canals were so he could properly take care of them. I'm now feeling much better and trying to find a new dentist that can do the cap so I'll be good as new! read more

Dr. Nabipour did an excellent job on my root canal. His office has the most modern technology including at CT scan. The front desk staff are helpful and efficient. Getting a root canal is never fun; but I'm glad I found Dr. Nabipour read more

Honesty and integrity are the first things that come to mind for Oakland Alameda Endodontics and Dr. Jason Calvert. I came in recently and didn't realize my first root canal was done here 10 years ago. I remember that process being painless and thorough. I came back in this time because I was having some mild pain in the same tooth and Dr. Calvert was informative and ran some tests on the tooth. He could have told me that I needed another root canal or he wanted to do root canal surgery but instead gave me a few other options that many other providers wouldn't have given. Clearly he's not driven by making money off his patients rather he is wanting to give his patients the RIGHT treatment. The office staff is friendly as well and I felt welcomed and taken care of the whole time I stopped in for the consult. I highly recommend this business! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would give them 10. I fell on my face (literally) and caused traumatic injuries to my front teeth. I made an appt. and met with Dr. Calvert. During the consultation, Dr. Calvert explained everything that was wrong and what needed to be done (3 root canals) and answered any questions I had. The day of the procedure he explained everything again, he explained everything he was doing during the procedure as he was doing it and checked in with me throughout the procedure. People, I felt nothing, no pain or discomfort whatsoever during the procedure or after the procedure, I actually fell asleep during, this was one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. From the front desk personnel, to Sonia and Dr Calvert everyone was professional and the facility was very clean. There was no waiting, my appt was at 8am, I was in the chair at 8am. I HIGHLY recommend Oakland/Alameda Endodontics for any required Endodontic surgeries. read more

Root canal went fine, but weren't transparent about the bill. I paid almost 1400, insurance didn't cover 20 dollars and they sent debt collector. Do with you that what you want. Seems pathetic. read more

I just had a root canal with Dr Calvert at Oakland Alameda Endodontics and I could not be more impressed. The staff are gracious and skilled; the office is clean and comfortable, and Dr. Calvert is outstanding. Great interpersonal and technical skills. He checked in with me (How are you doing?) throughout the procedure. He also kept me informed during and explained everything really well. My procedure was painless and went smoothly. I was able to relax knowing I was in good hands. And I'm a complete chicken when it comes to dental work, so that's saying a lot. if I need an endodontist again, I will absolutely return to this practice. read more
