I've had two root canals treated by Dr. Zoufan, both of which were infected, and I am so grateful…read morefor the excellent care I received. Dr. Zoufan and his team are truly outstanding--professional, efficient, and always prompt in their responses. The treatments were painless, and I really appreciated the personal follow-up to make sure I was doing well after each procedure. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Zoufan and his staff. Their dedication and compassion made a stressful situation so much easier. Thank you all so much for your exceptional care!

Dr. Lavasani and team streamlined the process for me, and the results were phenomenal…read more TLDR; I went to the dentist for the first time after 5-6 years and was written a referral for a root canal, possibly 2, to fight an infection about the size of a penny/nickel in Nov 2025. My treatment was complex, but my first root canal was painless after a week. They walked me through multiple assessments, and we agreed on a plan to save my second tooth before committing to another root canal. My recovery is 6 months before follow up, and my dentist confirmed the infection site is healing nicely after only one month. The pressure's practically gone now, and I'm expecting bone growth within a few months. Recovery is the patient's responsibility, but this office provides quality care and sets you up for success. It's always a good sign when someone follows up and answers your concerns! :)

Referral from another doctor for cracked tooth. They have a 3d xray machine which spins around 360…read moredegrees. The first girl running the machine had no idea what she was doing. Didn't get the placement of the body right and faulty instructions on posture. Blamed it on the shoulders being too big. As the imaging head rotates it hit my shoulders. Didn't explain the correct placement and the killer was she forgot the lead body shield. I was too stupid to notice. Nice dose of ionizing radiation. The second time got the body position correct arms grabbing the handles. Third time a new person got the position still not right, only got half the tooth. They blamed it on the machine. Operator error. They resorted to a regular xray machine. They gave a discount after I complained they were charging for a 3d xray which they never used. Doc said some of the data was useful so partial charge. 4 xray doses, one unprotected. For a cracked tooth they cant treat. Not a good feeling of competence. They should practice on some boxes first instead of live patients.

I just had a root canal with Dr. Riahi and was truly blown away. Having had several root canals in…read morethe past, I fully expected some degree of discomfort during the procedure--but there was none whatsoever. Dr. Riahi is clearly very experienced and exceptionally skilled. As a physician with my own medical staff, I also paid close attention to how he interacts with his team. He consistently treated everyone with respect, always saying "please" and "thank you" when asking for instruments--something that, unfortunately, is not as common in medical offices as it should be. At the end of the visit, I asked whether he provides other dental services, as I would gladly have him perform any dental care I might need in the future. He explained that his practice is dedicated exclusively to root canals--and it shows. Thank you to Dr. Riahi and the entire staff for such an outstanding experience today. Frank Polansky, M.D.

I visited Mountain View Endodontics after being referred by another dentist. Before my appointment,…read moreI specifically asked about my out-of-pocket cost using my insurance and was told it would be $39, which I paid at the visit. After insurance processing, I was later billed an additional $158, nearly five times the original estimate, because the office said my insurance denied the consultation due to an annual frequency limitation. Frequency limits are a routine and standard part of insurance verification. Despite providing a specific dollar estimate before the visit, the office did not identify or disclose this limitation in advance and instead placed full responsibility on the patient after the fact. While the staff was responsive, there was no acknowledgment of the large estimation error or accountability for quoting a significantly lower amount before care was provided. I wish this risk had been communicated clearly upfront so I could have made an informed decision. I'm sharing this experience so others are aware to ask very carefully about consultation frequency limits and potential cost changes before proceeding.

This was the nicest dental experience I've ever had. Like truly I love everyone in that place…read more There was no hygiene shaming and Dr. Kim was so gentle I had to keep waking myself up. Not even to mention it was sooooo much more affordable than the last 2 places I had a consult. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I had a root canal in 2020. The procedure went well and Dr. Michaelian did a non painful procedure…read more A few weeks later, I had tooth pain. Since the pandemic started the office was closed, so I lived with the pain for 5 years. In 2025 the tooth was more painful so I returned for advice. Another root canal on the same tooth. All the costs were out of pocket because my insurance didn't cover endodontics. 5 months later, I have a gum infection a long the tooth. I went back for advice and now he said I need the tooth extracted. I understand that root canals are not 100% effective. I believe the doctor wasn't being honest with me the second time. I could have saved $4000.00 total. I will not go back there. Beware.

Dr. On and Dr. Bowers are incredible. They are both highly knowledgable and do excellent work!…read more I recently saw Dr. On for a tooth that had already been treated, but had never healed because it wasn't treated properly. The first opinion I got (elsewhere) said that the tooth would have to be extracted: retreatment would be difficult without further damaging the tooth as it would require a large amount of finesse to do it properly. But Dr. On suggested that he could carefully try retreating, and would quit early if he thought he would end up damaging the tooth. He even said he would charge me a very very minimal amount if he ended up quitting early without completing the retreatment. After two hours of patiently operating, he managed to do it! It took at least 30 minutes longer than planned, and despite that, he didn't rush AND I was charged the same amount as a regular retreatment. He saved my tooth! He is the most patient endodontist/dentist I have visited, he's incredibly skilled without being overly confident AND he's truly honest! I suspect the only reason this place doesn't have five stars is because of old reviews from when a different group of endodontists used to run this place. All recent reviews (those of Dr. On and Dr. Bowers) seem excellent. Go here and ask for one of these two!

So when my dentist told me about a month ago I needed a root canal" I was like" Say What"?! I…read morethought he really said( or perhaps imagined) that I was good to go now, and time for me to visit Venice and its canals"??! What was that?? No?!!! "Joey, you need a root canal"!! Is that a new alcoholic mixed drink?~ I was like say what? Last time I was in this chair, a prior dentist said I needed surgery for a cyst..what the heck!! What's up with your dental chairs doc?!! Lol So once I calmed down and slowed down the mental images of a dentist with pliers taking out a root in my tooth, I was much better!! Well not really, but it helps in this review!! So then he said, let me put your mind at ease, I will give you two names of the best local endodontists. They both came highly recommended, so I thought..no big deal , what do I have to lose..except a tooth?! ;-) Ouch!! As I got into my car I thought, what the heck just drive by and check out Dr. Javidan's office! Nestled off El Camino in Southern Palo Alto, very close and convenient for Mt View and Los Altos patients, I entered this modern office. The staff was warm and friendly and accommodating, and Melissa was more than happy to help me with my nervous energy and questions. During this month, after numerous calls to speak with Melissa and direction, my visit/treatment had arrived...today ta-dah !! This is the day of the much-dreaded ROOT CANAL! I was not sure what to expect other than their gracious and kind staff including the doctor. Today was the day!!. I can tell you, they make it as pain-free as possible. The only thing I did not care for was the clamped mouth..cause I could not speak..or if I did, it sounded like jibberish!! I am sure some friends and family would love to this on my mouth when they utter..you talk way tooooo much!! Lol- Hence my reviews! :) All I can say is you need a friendly much-needed pain free root canal procedure..Dr. Javidan is the one you need to see.:) They even have net flicks to watch, today I watched Mayberry RFD, many too choose from. I figured I would pass on the newest Netflix movie.."The Haunted Tooth" ;-) kidding!! Seriously, this will be the place for all my coming root canals!! You think I am joking, nope they put me at ease and it was virtually pain-free!! Thank you Dr. Javidan and staff!!

Dark skinned nice man I guess I can explain the best way I can Jespersens Assistant 9/16/2025 Tuesday 10am to be exact) was SOOOO supportive & comforting made it some what better but it was so bad I almost did not know what to do! I came in to get a root canal. Mind you I drove from San Leandro. With traffic it was an hour and a half. I was not going to waste any time so I was trying really hard to keep my patience & my composure with kindness to keep this procedure going until this Bruce Jespersen's rudeness kicked badly and was so unnecessarily aggressive with how he spoke with me and so unprofessional. I was so shocked. I was in tears because I could not believe how he acted towards me lol I'm laughing because I'm thinking about it now and I'm just like WOW this guy is unbelievable!!! It all started because I needed a root canal in my very back top tooth. So therefore, I know I need to keep my mouth wide open, but I can only keep it open very wide for so long. I tried my very best to do that, but he was pretty much yanking on my mouth to keep it open. I told him after a while that my jaw was hurting and he kept telling me open wide open wide. You can't keep it 2/3 open for me to work on it if you want this root canal done then you need to open wide and I told him my jaw is hurting. I can't keep opening it so wide can you put something in there to keep it open and he said no we don't have anything and I told him well. My jaw is hurting. My neck is hurting. I felt like he started to be rude and he wasn't taking my words and my feelings into consideration and finally told me well. You can go somewhere else and just did not care. I was in tears because of how he was talking to me. He was just super rude. He finally got up, took his gloves off and was just super aggressive. I broke out in more tears and I started shaking because his energy and his aggressive communication was just so horrible. I just could not believe how he was talking to me. He said there will be no charge for this. You can go somewhere else I just broke down. I had an anxiety attack. His assistant was Comforting me and told me to take my time and was just saying whatever he was saying to support me I don't even remember what all he was saying because I was just in full shock mind you I got the two shots in my mouth to numb the area and I just had to leave. I walked out of there in FULL TEARS and had to call my original dentist and tell them what happened And now I have to find another specialist to finish this root canal. I don't know if he was just having a horrible day, but whatever it was I hope this DOES NOT happen to another patient!
