And yet-here we are. This was, without exaggeration, the best root canal of my life. I know how that sounds. I hear it too. But I was so relaxed during the procedure I genuinely considered asking if they offered overnight stays. At one point I thought, "Is this what peace feels like?" I have three teenagers, so I don't throw that word around lightly. It wasn't Hawaii... but emotionally? It was at least a quiet Airbnb with no one calling my name. The care, the calm, the precision-10/10. Would trust them with my teeth, my sanity, and possibly my next vacation.

I got an spot very quickly, next day. I checked in and they explained my insurance coverage. Then I was taken back to get a 3-D X-ray of my mouth. Once I was in the room it was roughly a 5 minute wait and Dr. Gordon came in. He was awesome and explained everything and stopped a few times just to ask if I had questions. I got to listen to music on their iPod because the headphones didn't fit into my life proof case. Before I knew it the procedure was done! In all honesty the worst part was the tapping, cold, and sensitivity testing before the procedure. I would recommend to anyone!

I had an initial appointment I had to rescheduled and when I called back to reschedule, they claimed I never was a "new" patient and they never had my information. I had to give my information again, which I did not mind. I told them specifically I was referred by a "specific" mutual doctor in hopes that they will reach out to this doctor to retrieve my current, recent X-rays and referral letter. I didn't realize I had to bring the physical referral in. I had asked about their consult fee but was told they don't know until they look into my insurance and they will call me back with that info, never received that call back. The day of my appointment, the receptionist asked if I had my referral and I apologized and told her I did not. She made a comment about how are they going to know which tooth/teeth to look at. That I would have to wait for her to email or call my dentist for the referral... in my head, I'm thinking why haven't this been done yet?? Luckily the wait wasn't long. They took X-rays so I'm assuming the ones they probably received from my dentist was not what they needed, which i could understood and should have question prior to, but I didn't. My fault. After meeting and talking to Dr. Karr about my treatment plan, we decided to extract and not retreat (thank goodness) I paid and left. About 1 month after my appointment give or take, I received a bill from them so I called to see what it was for. I was told someone will reach out to me. After a few days, they reached out but I was not able to pick up. I returned the call and was informed the bill was for my X-ray the insurance did not cover. I asked why they didn't reach out to my dentist because he took the exact same "scan" right before I saw them. They told me my dentist didn't send it to them so therefore they took theirs. I wasn't going to argue because apparently they need that more than me. SO FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE GOING TO THIS PLACE OR ANY DENTAL SPECIALTY OFFICES know that almost all specialists will require some sort of consult fees! Ask for fees! Asked if you've had a recent scan or X-ray taken can they use it and for them to retrieve it from your dentist so you don't pay for what your insurance already paid for!

What an amazing experience…read more I walked into the office of a maxiofacial surgeon expecting to get my tooth pulled that day. The surgeon explained that because of my age, I would not be able to receive an implant until 10+ years and that I would run into issues with that tooth if I decided to pull it so early. He then referred us to RC Endodontics for an emergency root canal. I walked in terrified because of the poor thoughts on root canals and the issues that could arise later from failed root canals or root canals in general. They got me into the office in about 30 minutes, which was wonderful because I had been losing sleep over this tooth and experiencing horrible ear aches and jaw pain for days. They took a look at the tooth and saw that I had bone loss and a severe infection through that part of my jaw and tooth. Dr.Parmer was extremely kind and helped with my worries and concerns without judging. She performed the procedure and injected me multiple times to make the procedure more comfortable. It's been about 3 months since I've received it and I'm no longer in any pain and my bone has gone back to its normal state. I am so grateful for such a kind office and such a well done procedure. Thank you for saving my life.

Thank you all again for being amazing.

Dr. Noorvash and his entire team deserve every bit of this 5-star review…read more I first saw Dr. Noorvash back in 2014 when he performed my original root canal, so when another office recently recommended retreating that same tooth, I decided to come back to him for a second opinion. I am so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, every single person in the office was kind, welcoming, and genuinely cared about me as a patient. The front office staff was incredibly friendly and transparent, the dental assistant was wonderful, and Dr. Noorvash took the time to perform a thorough evaluation with both X-rays and a CBCT scan. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and answered every question I had without making me feel rushed. What impressed me most was his honesty. He could have easily recommended retreatment, but instead he explained that he did not see a missed canal and did not feel there was any reason to rush into another root canal. He also pointed out that my inflamed sinuses could be contributing to the symptoms I was experiencing. It was clear that his recommendation was based on what he truly believed was best for me--not on performing an unnecessary procedure. I also appreciated how transparent the office was about costs and insurance. After sharing what I had been quoted elsewhere, everyone was genuinely surprised, and they took the time to explain exactly what my insurance would have covered and what my out-of-pocket cost would be if treatment were ever needed. I never once felt pressured. I left feeling informed, respected, and honestly relieved. Finding healthcare providers who prioritize ethics, patient education, and compassion over unnecessary treatment is rare, and Dr. Noorvash and his entire team exemplify exactly that. I would recommend this office without hesitation to anyone looking for an endodontist they can truly trust.

He was kind, efficient, and I genuinely felt like he cared about my comfort throughout the entire process. I was in and out in about an hour and a half. Overall, I had a really positive experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Noorvash to anyone who needs endodontic work!

I had a great experience with Smile Builder Dental and Dr. Myung Kee Park…read more After having braces with a different orthodontist just prior to my experience with Smile Builder, my teeth shifted again within a matter of weeks despite faithfully wearing my retainer. I wanted to correct the movement with clear aligners rather than going through braces again. After about a year of treatment, I couldn't be happier with the results. Looking back after experiencing both traditional braces and Invisalign, I believe Invisalign was the better choice for me. I also wish I had gone directly to Smile Builder Dental from the beginning. In hindsight, I feel it may have saved me time, discomfort, and expense. Most importantly, my experience here gave me confidence that I was receiving thoughtful, patient-centered care every step of the way. From my very first visit, everyone at Smile Builder Dental was welcoming, friendly, and professional. The entire team made every appointment a pleasant experience, and I always felt that they genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome. I documented my progress with weekly photos throughout treatment, and near the end I had questions about the position of one lower incisor. Dr. Park took the time to carefully review my concerns, explain why the final trays intentionally overcorrect rotation before the teeth naturally settle, and answer every question without ever making me feel rushed. I truly appreciated his patience, honesty, and conservative approach. It was clear that he was focused on achieving the best long-term result rather than simply finishing treatment as quickly as possible. The digital scanning process for my retainers was fast, comfortable, and seamless, and I left feeling confident that my smile was in great hands. I am truly grateful to Dr. Park and the entire Smile Builder Dental team for their exceptional care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Whether you're considering orthodontic treatment for the first time or need to correct teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment, I highly recommend Smile Builder Dental. Thank you, Dr. Park and the wonderful staff, for giving me a smile that I'm proud to keep for years to come.

Your favorite Yelp correspondent was in a bad way…read more A renowned night owl who is seldom up before 10:30am in semi-retirement, there I was clutching my jaw in anguish and parked outside my dentist's office when the office manager came to open it, at 9:30am. An hour later, after Dr. Rana Skaff had pronounced "root canal, retreatment" of my bottom R rear molar, I was headed to Dr. Jack Yu and his team of pros at Grandview Endodontics. Everyone that I interacted with, from Office Manager DARLENE to dental nurses JUDY and UELSY to the (very) good doctor himself were consummate pros. They nimbly squeezed me in for a 1:30pm appt despite never hearing of me til 10:30am. They took their diagnostic X-Rays with gentle yet efficient care, treating the swollen, painful tooth; the pain so gnarly it was radiating to my jaw bone and pulsing in perfect synchronized time w/ my heartbeat. Dental Nurse Judy and Dr. Yu work beautifully together! Watching them -eyeballs close yet strangely detached due to multiple rounds of local anesthesia administered- is like watching an orchestra. Each person anticipating the other's need then flashing forward to meet it. I was in the chair, from diagnostic X-Rays to finance/insurance docs to actual treatment, from 1:45pm til 3:35pm. Time immeasurably well spent considering the world of misery I was in for the preceding 48hrs 'til I could get treatment. Pro Q- Is it meeeh or do most infections requiring root canal start on the weekend, when the vast majority of dentists/endodontists are unavailable?! Pro Tip- Dr. Yu is a major proponent of utilizing Gentle Wave / Clean Flow technology as an accompaniment to his root canals. Let him!!! Worth the peace of mind and reduction in post-canal complications. I'll recap this review by paraphrasing the Dos Equis Cerveza guy. You know, the wizened Hemingway doppelganger who dispenses critical axioms under the veil of his being -why, of course!- "The Most Interesting Man in the World!" "I may not always choose to squander the day strapped to an endodontist's chair getting a root canal .... but when I do, it'll be with Dr. Yu!"
