When I went to for a consult visit, I asked if the visit was covered fully. and the answer is yes. but when I got bill, I reallized their visit price is higher than cigna 100% coverage. which caused I have to pay extra even for the office visit. I was also asked to do a a useless and unnedssary 3-D check, which cost me $270 more. That's my fault though, I shouldn't trust them so much. read more

I can't say anything about his level of expertise since I decided not to go there...very poor lack of service. I was referred to them by my primary for a root canal. They called me for an appointment and told me that my insurance Unitehealthcare benefits should cover...as if I got the intention that they already got the approval but only to find out otherwise while waiting at the office for the procedure. This should've called prior to appointment not when the patient comes in for the service. Another disappointment, xrays and 3D imaging at a cost of $275 in addition to $275 office visit which practically useless...$2500 estimate for a simple routine. The referral along with all xray imaging had already collected and sent to them by my primary... if a dentist sends them a referral business, it would be improper and inadequate to over_do their imaging report... waste of time, money and resources... read more

Had a root canal and crown; the process went smoothly and I felt cared for. Office scheduled a six month follow-up: X-ray showed how the tissues had healed. Thank you Parkside Endo! read more

Excellent doctor and assistants great service nice and friendly thank you for keeping my gums healthy:-)

Dr. Beardsley performed a root canal. He was excellent and painless. I would recommend him to everyone.

I went to see Dr. Bardsley for a root canal, got the referral from my regular Dentist. He and his staff Jenny, Tina were super kinda, helpful and professional. I was super anxious at the very beginning but Dr. Bardsley and his assistant Jenny was very patient, explained to me what they were gonna do and they paid close attention to me during the whole procedure. Everything went super smooth and of course he did a great job. I would highly recommend Parkside Endodontics and Dr. Bardsley. read more

AMAZING practice! I had the unfortunate circumstance of needing an emergency root canal and was referred to Parkside by my dentist. They got me in within hours even though they were already fully booked and during a holiday. I couldn't be more grateful for such an amazing team of staff. Dr. Sean Bardsley who did my root canal was empathetic, professional, clearly explained the details of the work being done, and checked in with me throughout the entire process. His assistant took extra care to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed - she was just as amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience despite needing a root canal. Highly recommend read more

I've been to Parkside Endodontics a few times and have always been very pleased with their professionalism, service, and expertise. This latest time was no exception. Dr. Jennifer Litton and her assistant, Jiselle, made what is always a potentially terrible experience into a very tolerable one. Dr. Litton showed a true dedication to providing the best quality service possible and Jiselle was impressively concerned with my comfort and well-being. I would not hesitate going to the both of them again if the need arose. read more

Dr. Lee is the best endodontist I've ever had. His staff is friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable. I like how he tells you what's going on and has the most up to date equipment. Thank you Dr. Lee and staff. I'll see you around the neighborhood. :) read more

They were really professional and worked on my case despite not having a referral. I just moved to my new neighborhood in SF and knew I needed RCT for one of my molars. The procedure was painless and they even checked on me the next day. I wish Dr. Litton could be my general dentist! read more

My first root canal.. I was so scared and worried.. But all that was for nothing! Dr Bardsley and his team were super friendly, attentive, and just great! Dr Bardsley made me feel very comfortable and walked me through the process, really calmed my nerves! I also didn't feel a thing! I hope I won't have to have another root canal done.. but if I do, I wouldn't go ANYWHERE else!! Everyone was amazing here! Thank you, thank you!!! read more

I recently had oral surgery performed by Dr. Sean Bardsley to correct a previous root canal which had failed. Dr. Bardsley and the staff at Parkside Endodontics at 1700 California St. were tremendous. I was totally comfortable and pain free during the entirety of what otherwise could have been a very uncomfortable procedure involving the peeling back of my gum and accessing the root laterally. The team work among Dr. Bardsley and his assistants was professional and their casual banter even elicited a couple hearty disarming chuckles from me in the course of the procedure. My procedure went smoothly and I experienced absolutely no pain during or after. I'd highly recommend Dr. Bardsley and the team at Parkside Endodontics to anyone requiring their specialized service. Thanks, Pierre M. LaBelle San Francisco 415-652-4713 read more

What an honest practice. I was referred by my dentist for what I was sure going to be a root canal based on previous discussions about the tooth. He tested the tooth and told me I don't need one right now! He for sure could have told me I needed one and I would have believed him. I live across the bay but if I need any root canals or other work I would happily drive back. He also put up with all my nervousness! All around great efficient practice. read more

I've been to Dr. Lee three times so far all for a root canal (twice on my incisor and once on my molar). Each time the service from Dr. Lee has been amazing. I love how caring and thorough he is. He always has his picture of a tooth and he draws exactly what he will be doing and the pathology causing the problem with my tooth. Each visit has been painless (I mean as painless as a root canal can get) and has gone smoothly. His staff has always been very friendly. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Lee if you need a root canal done. read more

I was referred to Dr. Bardsley by my regular dentist due to a bump (tissue) growth in my gums, below a molar that previously had a root canal many years ago. Thorough scans were taken to indicate some infection and appropriate treatment followed in an attempt to keep the tooth intact. During the entire process, he took the time to explain everything in detail and what would be done to try to resolve the problem. Dr. Bardsley, Tina and Jen are very courteous and accommodating, and they made me feel so comfortable during my visits -- personally, definite signs of a professional dental office. I highly recommend! read more

Went to Dr. Bardsley on referral from my regular Dentist because I needed to get some root canals from around 15 years ago re-done. He did a great job explaining everything that happened, and what he was going to do to help solve my issue. I had two appointments with him, both where the whole staff were very nice, courteous, and professional. Afterwards, they showed me the before and after pictures, and walked over again what he did. Dr. Bardsley and his team were available for questions 24/7, before, during, and after my operations. I would highly recommend Parkside Endodontics and Dr. Bardsley if you ever find yourself needing to make a visit! read more

Dr. Weller recently performed a root canal on me just before a long weekend. He seemed very cordial, efficient and competent, although only time will tell whether or not the tooth was saved. Anyway, I was sent away with instructions to use ibuprofen for pain, but no antibiotics or prescriptions despite a warning on the instruction handout that infection could set in and require antibiotics. Dr. Weller's pager number was shown and he personally admonished me to call him immediately if I had a problem. In the afternoon of the following day, the tooth was becoming more painful and the surrounding tissue was beginning to swell. I began calling Dr. Weller the following morning, both on his pager and at his office (which was closed). All I ever got was voice mail. As the swelling and pain increased I was able to reach the dentist who had referred me to Dr . Weller and she immediately phoned a prescription to my pharmacy. I finally began a course of antibiotics that should have started following the surgery. Late in the evening of the following day Dr. Weller left a message on my voice mail explaining that he'd had a glitch with his pager/phone that had delayed him receiving my message and that he was very sorry for my trouble. The one-hour procedure cost me $1,100; I expect better post-op treatment than I got. read more

Dr. Litton took care of my very first (and hopefully last!!!) root canal last year. I went in reluctantly, shaky, and worried which are three words that describe me walking into any dental office. The staff at the desk welcomed me warmly and Dr. Litton made me feel like everything would be a breeze which lightened my anxiety. She informed me about everything I wanted to know and ensured I felt as comfortable as I possibly could. The experience is now a blur because I happily dodge storing such memories, but I do recall feeling very taken care of and safe. The x-ray showed a curved root and she did a masterful job as verified by my usual dentist (who doesn't do root canals) and another dentist who gave me my crown. The staff was very nice and made me feel less embarrassed about my childlike fears and which was a nice perk. Overall, it was a perfect experience because I felt safe, trusted the dr and staff, and left without any hassle or errors. The staff hooked me up with some ibuprofen and called me the next day to check up on me as well. I have learned since then to floss after every meal and brush as often as possible. Root canals are awful and cost over $2,000 (including the crown) if your not insured. I hope to never experience another, but if I do, I'll be seeing Dr. Litton. read more

Several months has passed since Dr. Lee performed an apicoectomy on an existing tooth (which had already underwent a previous root canal). I am happy to say that I am pleased with the overall results. Prior to the apicoectomy, the infected tooth caused occasional dull pains. Then one day, I woke up with an excruciating toothache that felt like a piercing migraine. I made an appointment with my dentist who then referred me to Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee saw me the same day. He was very thorough -- took x-rays, explained the procedure, presented options, offered his recommendation, operated, sent me home with an ice pack, and followed up with me later that evening to ensure that I was doing alright. My pain was well managed and swelling was minimal. Since the procedure, the dull pain I once experienced is nonexistent. Excellent job. read more

I was refereed to Dr Lee by my own dentist for a root canal and he assured me that Dr Lee was the best in the business. I have only had the first half of the procedure but so far I can say that his reputation is well deserved. He is careful, gentle and very thorough. He told me it should under normal circumstances be painless and it was! I have now had the second half and once agin it was almost painless.he warned me that they might be a little discomfort for up to a week.. There was no pain at all after the first day. I would recommend anyone, if they are unfortunate enough to need a root canal, to have Dr Lee do it!! read more

Dr. Spencer and staff were very professional and caring. They followed up after the surgery. I would recomend them for sure. Brenda Wiley read more

This is the best place to have a root canal procedure done, bar none. Almost completely painless, fast, gentle + reassuring to boot. If you must have the work done, come here, you'll be glad you did! note: later the day of my procedure Dr. Lee called me to see how I was doing. Is that great service or what? read more

I'm not entirely sure how to give a positive review based on a root canal, but here it is. I was referred to Parkside Endodontics by my regular dentist, Donna Lem over at Jang & Associates General & Family Dentistry, when I needed a wacky x-ray and painful tooth evaluated by an endodontist. They had readily available appointments and a friendly and professional staff. The office was clean and easy to get to off the L-Taraval. Dr. Weller got me seriously numb before proceeding with the root canal. They appear to have properly billed my insurance company for the considerable expense that a root canal incurs. I guess that's the most you can hope for from an experience like that, and yet it was a root canal and so I just can't bring myself to give them all the stars! read more

I appreciate the help I got at Parkside Endodontics. They were kind enough to work me in on short notice. Then I received efficient and effective treatment. I recommend them highly. read more

Great experience with Parkside Endodontics. I had to get an emergency root canal and everyone from the dental assistants to the Dr. Bardsley were simply amazing. Highly recommend read more

I was referred to Parkside for a root canal consult. I thought I was most likely going to be told that I needed the procedure even though some of my symptoms didn't confirm or deny the need for it. Dr. Sean Bardsley did my consult and recommended for me to have my filling replaced and not have the root canal done for now. It would have been so easy to recommend the root canal but Dr. Bardsley was honest and advised me that this tooth may be fine by replacing the filling without a root canal but it may require one in the future. My regular dentist filled the cavity and I have had no signs of trouble for over 2 months now. It is so refreshing to meet someone like Dr. Bardsley, who is honest and caring, and all the people at Parkside Endodontics who tell you the truth and not put you through any unneeded dental work. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

This is where (without a doubt) you want to be should you need to have this kind of work done. Having the misfortune of chronic damage to my teeth from years of clenching I have seen many a dentist through the years. Parkside Endo was referred by my dentist because I had a failing root canal/crown from some 15 years ago. Dr. Lee did the evaluation and felt confident that retreating the tooth would the way to go. He was kind and compassionate in his dealings with my obvious "issues" around dental work. He did a great job ensuring my comfort during the procedure. Sadly however, when my dentist removed the old crown, a crack was found and it looks as though the tooth will have to go anyway. After my dentist contacted Dr. Lee with his findings, I received a call from Dr. Lee. He explained that sometimes there is no way to see something like this until the crown is removed (same as my dentist told me) and that the last thing he wants to ever do is put someone through a long, painful procedure unnecessarily. He then apologized for me having to go through it (even though it wasn't his fault or lacking in any way) and then he generously waived the unpaid portion of my bill! Dr. Lee is a living example of kindness, compassion and generosity! This is what makes not only a great dentist, but also a great human being! read more

Edward Lee was referred to me by Jobie Low a dentist in West Portal. I had been suffering for 3 months from a tooth that reacted badly to a crown and developed irreversible pulpitis. Unlike another endodontist I went to see in the area, who wanted to do a root canal on the spot, Dr. Lee in his first consultation immediately said he always would try to preserve the vitality of a tooth wherever possible but that a root canal was a resort that was needed in case of infection or conditions that would simply not get better. He offered a conservative course of action without a root canal as first step but I knew things were not going to get better after suffering through 2 temporary crowns and a permanent one for 12 weeks. My tooth also felt it was going to explode whenever I got on a plane and we started ascending. Whilst ultimately, the end result and prognosis was the same, a root canal is a big deal, and a big procedure in my book which needs both consideration and thought. After all, you're consenting to the removal of living tissue from your body no matter how small and of course things can always go wrong! My tooth needed 3 root canals and I was nervous that the tooth would not withstand the drilling and I would be in a much pain. I was in the chair for about an hour and 20 minutes and most of the work was done - a follow up appointment is needed to finish off but for the first time in 3 months I can now eat on the right side of the mouth, drink cold and hot liquids and look forward to the Christmas indulgences without fear! For that I am truly grateful. No post procedure pain, minimal swelling and a fabulous endodontist who goes to great lengths to keep you informed all during the procedure and explains everything he is doing with diagrams and photos. Dr. Lee has an excellent manner and great compassion although I would prefer it if I could stay away from his office as much as possible! A complete professional and highly recommended - well worth the wait if you can't get into his appointment book when you want to. You'll be glad you did. read more

Highly Recommend! What a nice team and extremely talented root canal surgeon! This is the 2nd root canal with Dr Bardsley and he is the absolute best! The first procedure was over 5 years ago and I remember how 'easy' the whole process was and how nice everyone was; Then A few months ago I cracked off a deep filling from one of my back teeth from eating popcorn kernals and could not eat anything at all on my left side due to instant intense nerve pain; My dentist couldn't figure out 100% and suggested going to the Endo. Dr Bardley patiently listened to my issue and then completed tests, explaining every step of the way. He determined my tooth was cracked and that a root canal would be the safest option. When the day came, I was greeted with kindness from Tina (front desk) and Jenny who took xrays and prepped me. The whole root canal process was virtually painless - even the shots to numb the mouth were painless - just one quick pinch and the rest was nothing (and I'm a baby!). Tina is consistently very sweet and patient helping over the phone as I switched my appointments and Jenny was an absolute joy while she assisted the Dr and kept my spirits up. Thank you guys! Not that I hope for more dental work - but it's something to look forward to if it means a visit to your office. warm regards. :D read more

I saw Dr. Lee today for my first root canal. He did an amazing job. Very professional. He came highly recommended by my boss too! I can honestly say if you want a painless procedure go see him! Thanks Dr. Lee!!!! read more

I saw Dr Lee for a root canal. He is amazing! He talks you through the procedure, so you will always know what's coming up. This was perfect for me as I am a rather high anxiety dental patient. Based on previous experience, years ago with another dentist, I expected the procedure to be painful as well as painful for a few days after. Not at all! I'm not sure why this experience was so different from my first root canal experience. But I chalk it up to the skill of Dr Lee. His office staff are very sweet and helpful as well. If you need dental work done, go here! read more

Dr. Lee and his stuff did an excellent job on my root canal! I had a root canal before and Dr. Lee made it a breeze compared to my other root canal I had a while back (with a different endodontic, which I will never go back too)! Dr. Lee addressed all my concerns and he even gave me extra novocaine because my first root canal was the worst extra I had in my life. The procedure was painless, with very minor pressure on my tooth but you don't need to be afraid because Dr. Lee got you! :) I don't write many yelp reviews, at least currently, BUT Dr. Lee deserves a great review. On top of it all, the original quote had a post involve, but as he was doing the procedure, he told me I didn't need one so he slashed my quote down $80 which helps. THANK YOU Dr. Lee and your staff for the best experience I could ask for! read more

Very pleasant dental practice. They ensure that you are pain free. Dr. Litton is very kind

Dr. Edward Lee was great! Had to have a root canal redone from many years ago. Even the novacaine shots were virually painless. He was efficient and made me very comfortable with a procedure that I was not looking forward to. I am very impressed! read more

I just had my first ever root canal here, and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience (given, of course, that it had to happen at all). Everything was explained carefully before we started, Dr. Lee couldn't have been nicer or more skilled, there have been no after-problems at all...all in all I'd highly recommend Parkside Endodontics. read more

Doctor Edward Lee is simply the finest root canal specialist period in the Bay Area In all respects. Extremely professional, caring and able to diagnosis accurately , take correct action quickly and complete the work perfectly. Special mention: the staff is also the best. Professional, friendly and very helpful always. Lastly my five visits with Doctor Lee were surprisingly almost painless. I was able to nap during the second portion of my root canal procedure. Can't get any better! read more
