I have been going to Dr. Ahani for ten years. Several different procedures have been done. He has been very professional, friendly, competent, and most importantly, extremely ethical, even when it isn't in his financial interest. I trust him implicitly. Also, he has always phoned the evening of the procedure to see how I was doing. read more

Dr. Ahani treated a problem that had bothered me for years. He did an accurate assessment of my issue and then performed a root canal procedure that was absolutely painless and that eliminated my longtime distress. Dr. Ahani was friendly, personable and he acted with extreme care to assure that the procedure was comfortable for me. Both he and his assistant worked very quickly as with great coordination to make the experience as easy for me as possible. Really amazing professionalism. Lane Anderson Burlingame, CA read more

Our dentist recommended that my wife see Dr. Ahani to resolve her tooth pain because she might need a $3000 root canal. Dr. Ahani examined her teeth and he said that her pain was caused by clenching her teeth, not by an infection or tooth decay, saving us over $2500. She said he was very kind and patient with her and we both were impressed by his honesty. read more

I was referred to Dr. Ahani by my dentist for a Root Canal. This office is clean and modern. Starting with the very professional Girls in the front office. Dr. Ahani and his assistants were terrific. I did not feel a thing. Dr. Ahani was gentle And explained the whole procedure he was doing from start to finish. I was very satisfied with this office. I hope I don't need to go back, but if ever need a root canal again I will definitely go back to this office. Thank you read more

As a person who has major dental anxiety, Dr. Sasthri and Lara made my root canal treatment experience very comfortable. From beginning to end, they were very good at communicating with me, explaining the procedure, making recommendations, and making sure I was comfortable. Dr. Sasthri & Lara were very nice, calm and thorough. read more

No one likes a root canal but Dr Ahani is a great dentist . Very personable makes the time go by faster. Quick and pain free . Hopefully I won't need he's services again but if I do I'll definitely come back to him read more

Being a grown up means three things: 1. Paying taxes 2. Feeling nervous at annual medical exams 3. Intense dental appointments I had to have root canals. Plural. Seriously. I know how to care for my teeth. I am just getting old. It happens. There is no botox for teeth. So unfair and terribly rude. It has already been revealed in a previous review that I am a white knuckle dental patient. Why does this matter? Dr Ahani offers CONSCIOUS SEDATION. It is pretty delicious to have zero anxiety or memory of something I am terrified of. It was my first root canal experience so I opted for the best in the Bay Area. There are names of specialists that the dentist I used to work for referred patients to exclusively so when I was referred to Dr Ahani I was thrilled. My consultation appointment was fast, efficient, and a great learning experience. I felt empowered with how to best address my specific dental hygiene, what options I have for various areas of need, and most important? I do not have to lose any of my teeth to implants as suggested by another dentist. Dr Ahani could save them. I want my teeth. All of them. They are mine so it makes sense that I keep them. Growing old does this to you. Wanting to keep your teeth. Remember when we wanted them to fall out so the tooth fairy could visit? Ahhh, being a kid. Conscious Sedation was a viable option for dental phobics. I jumped on that. It is an additional fee. Worth every penny. The day of my appointment I felt very calm because I was medicated when I arrived. Then I was given more medication in the chair which basically made me sleep. I woke up to being wheeled out of the office and put into the waiting car. I vaguely recall complaining that no one would take me to Dollar Tree. I dunno. It's all a blur - which is the desired side effect of conscious sedation. I can't elaborate more on my visit because I was out - or I forgot about it which again, is a desired benefit of conscious sedation. Noteworthy: I had ZERO pain after my procedure. My root canals had very precise, neat temporary fills that did not inhibit eating or drinking. Parting words: Dr. Ahani is professional, friendly, and very skilled. I felt the money I spent for the consulation was worth it for the wealth of information he generously offered to me. The ladies at the front desk are professional, friendly, and efficient. They will work with insurance needs, process your payment over the phone, remind you of appointments, and basically make showing up for your appointment a fuss free experience. I asked for e-mail correspondence and they were more than happy to accommodate that request. The chairside dental assistants are also professional, friendly, smart, and caring. I appreciate the drink when I was finished with my appointment. I also appreciated the ladies thoroughly explaining why they needed certain x-rays and other questions I asked. Parking is easy and free in the parking lot. Office is minutes away from the freeway (and next door to Koi Palace so if you have time after your consultation...) I felt confident going to Dr. Ahani for my root canals. I feel that same confidence in recommending him and his great staff for your endodontic needs. Bookmark this business listing. Thank me later. read more

They should call Dr. Ahani "The root canal whisperer" I never thought I would be made to feel so comfortable. Dr. Ahani was warm, funny, lighthearted, and most of all very kind. He has a great assistant Chris, who was warm and kind and put me at ease . Everyone that I encountered whether on the phone or in person was very professional and friendly. read more

Dr. Ahani is a a life-saver! I had an extremely painful cracked tooth last week, and after getting a referral from my regular dentist, I was able to get an appointment with him for the next day. After looking at the tooth, he went through all of my options. When I decided to go with a root canal, he did it right then, without me having to schedule a new appointment. It was my first root canal and I was nervous about it, but it really wasn't that bad. Dr. Ahani kept the mood light, and he and his staff checked frequently to see how I was feeling throughout the whole procedure. That night he called after hours to see how I was doing. My tooth already felt a whole lot better, and has only improved from there. It was such a relief to get it taken care of so quickly. read more

Dr. Ahani and his staff are all so amazing and I would give them so much more than 5 stars. I appreciate all of their hard work and everything they have done for me. I highly recommend them! read more

This is the second time I've been to his office. The first time in 2018, he examined my tooth and gave me his honest epinion, which was extraction. This second time around, he said the tooth was worth saving. Tooth #18 was fractured and I needed a root canal. Dr. Ahani was simply the most gentle and caring dentist I've ever experienced. From start to finish, his goal was to make his patient feel comfortable, which is saying a lot for going to the dentist. "Root Canal"......a walk in the park. read more

Dr.Ahani is the best dentist for your root canal. Very clean office, great staff and most of all gentle. I have always dreaded dental work however Dr. Ahani makes you laugh and feel comfortable. It's like having a family member doing your dental work and catching up on life. I will be returning for a second visit because I need more work and will not hesitate calling him. I will be referring anyone to him. His office and staff is amazing! Thank you Dr. Ahani! read more

Never in a million years did I think I would be giving a dentist a five-star review. Never in my lifetime, did I think I would be giving a dentist a five-star rating following a root canal. Tooth #18 was bothering me for years, and I kept putting it off due to a horrifying and terrible experience with my childhood dentist. I was content with never chewing on that side of my mouth for the rest of my life if it meant never having to go to the dentist again. Naturally, the decay got worse and my discomfort got to a point where I couldn't ignore it any longer. My regular dentist (who I trust a lot at this point in my life) referred to me Dr. Ahani's office for this root canal. Dr. Ahani has an excellent sense of humor (somehow, he got me to laugh in the chair a few times), and overall, has an incredible sense of compassion and understanding of his patient's unique needs. I would not hesitate to send anyone Dr. Ahani's way. read more

Dr Ahani is the ABSOLUTE BEST out there! Needing a root canal can be a scary thing, but with Dr Ahani and his team, everything is painless and easy. Top notch service and care from beginning to end. Imagine that, a root canal, painless and easy! The absolute best!!! read more

This is my first yelp review ever which says a lot. Dr Ahani was hands down the best dental worker I've ever gone to. Going into my appointment for a root canal I had so much anxiety and nerves because of all the scary and painful things I've heard about it. However, Dr Ahani was so comforting and made the whole procedure a smooth process. I was shocked because I didn't feel a single thing during the root canal! He is amazing!! His assistant Chris was also super great! read more

Dr. Ahani is the best endodontist I know. He is extremely skilled and nice. 5 stars are not enough to express my appreciation for his work and his gentle personality. I trust him completely. read more

Great sense of humor! I felt cared for and comfortable during my root canal. Would totally go back if I need another (knock on wood that I don't, though). read more

I never thought I'd see the day when I would volunteer five star applause for a root canal. Dr. Ahani is by far the best endodontist I have ever used. Outstanding technique, thorough, gentle and personable. Clean, pleasant offices in a surprisingly beautiful building (inside), competent and compassionate staff. If I lived 50 miles away, I would still make it a point to schedule my work with Dr. Ahani. read more

Did you ever think you would see a five star review for a ROOT CANAL? Dr. Ahani is beyond nice. He is calming and very reassuring, and also very good at what he does. My root canal was PAINLESS, just as he promised. The staff was also very nice, and the view of the courtyard is also calming and serene. The office is IMPECCABLY CLEAN, as it should be. If you need work done, go here and you WILL NOT BE SORRY. I am pain-free and wish I would have had this done months ago. =) Thank you Dr. Ahani!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Dr Ahani changed my perspective on dental procedures. I mean how much fun can you have having a root canal? Apparently a lot. He's got the best gear, technical mastery, and he loves to illustrate what's going on with you. You leave better informed, and second guessing the level of care you're getting from your annual check up dentist because Dr Ahani is the best. read more

Dr. Ahani and his crew are great. They helped me finish off doing endo on a tooth started by another. He made me feel as relaxed as possible and I was kept informed throughout the entire process. All done with a unique sense of humor. I recommend w/out reservation. read more

I just saw Dr. Ahani this morning for my second root canal with him. I remember being super nervous the first time I saw Dr. Ahani as I'd heard all sorts of horror stories about root canals. I shouldn't have worried. Dr. Ahani put me at ease right away. He also kept me entertained during the entire procedure with his amusing anecdoctes and calm nature. The process was pain free and his deft touch told me I was in the hands of a master. Given my great experience with my first root canal, when I was told by my dentist I needed a second root canal (gah!) I told him he had to refer me to Dr. Ahani. There was just no way I would let anyone else do it. I am now home, after a pain-free 1.5 hr session with Dr. Ahani. Dr. Ahani and his staff are in one word: excellent. I agree with the other Yelper that Dr. Ahani's root canals are easier to handle than a normal filling! read more

I would give Dr. Ahani and his staff a million star if it's possible but I guess the limit is only 5 star. I had a root canal done today around 11:30 am Dr. Rowshan Ahani and His dental Hygienist was so awesome, nice, compassionate, and very professional. I had not seen a dentist for a very very very long time due to the fact of severe anxiety and fear. Dr. Ahani has a very very light, gentle hand that I didn't even feel anything at all, NOTHING!! and it seems like I was just lying on a couch at home and watching TV, instead of getting a root canal. His down to earth, has a great sense of humor, he made me feel at ease and explained the procedure to me what's going to happen and expected to Happen. I highly recommend him and his staff. Dr. Ahani YOUR A ROCKSTAR!! Thanks for everything today and for making me feel Comfortable. YOUR THE BEST!! I can't say Thank-You Enough, to you . I was so scared and filled with anxiety before my procedure but you made feel at ease with your awesome bedside manner, humor, knowledge, caring and most specially your very light and gentle manner while doing a procedure on me, Much appreciated from a patient that has not seen a dentist for a very very long time. read more

Dr.Ahani has done 3 root canals of mine , I would never go to another, he puts you at ease, makes you laugh, so caring and understanding, his staff are So kind and helpful and also make you feel comfortable and special, cannot say enough about all of them. Dr. Ahani truly goes above and beyond, he is the Best read more

Dr Ahani and staff are the best. This was my first time for a root canal. He is very gentle and his staff is so attentive. He made the whole procedure so pain free, that I actually keep falling asleep. He's had a gentle touch, he is so hilarious. I actually enjoyed going there. They are the best. I would recommend him. read more

Dr. Ahani was thorough explaining the procedure. I was very scared in the beginning because I have phobia with dentist. He made me feel relaxed and he was very comforting throughout the process. all the staff too was great! Dr. Ahani made me feel he truly cares and even made time to call me to follow up how I'm doing after the procedure. He even gave his cellphone number in case of emergency. read more

Dr. Ahani is just a really great endodontist. I came to him after my own dentist performed my root canal himself (never again!) three years before and could never figure out why my gum remained sore...until an abscess formed. There was the real possibility I would lose my tooth. Dr Ahani found the roots and nerves the other guy missed, tackled the infection and saved my tooth...AND HE GIVES THE BEST SHOTS IN THE WORLD. In both instances (the initial procedure and the completion of the root canal redo) he personally called me at home to make sure I was all right. His staff is wonderful, perhaps as a direct result of getting to work with this cheerful man. There just aren't enough superlatives to heap upon this whole group. read more

I highly recommend dr.ahani if you ever need a root canal procedure! He is super nice and makes you feel comfortable and have a pain free experience! I've already feared the dentist but dealing with him has changed my thoughts a bit! Highly highly recommend!! read more

Dr. Ahani and his staff are THE BEST!!! I have seen him a few times during the years to handle root canal procedures. He is truly gentle, thorough, and has the most soothing voice - he explains everything he is doing. The staff is equally as impressive. Let's face it - root canals suck but Dr. Ahani doesn't! I can't say enough great things about him! I actually LOVE going to see them. Most recently, I had to have an emergency root canal. It was so painful! Dr. Ahani squeezed me in and was able to take my pain away. I can't recommend him enough!! read more

AH-mazing!!! Wow I was in so much pain for months but only 2hours with Doctor Ahani and I am pain free!! Doctor Ahani explained everything that was going to happen which really helped as this was my first root canal and I was super nervous. He also called that evening to see how I was doing, so super nice oh and he was really funny. The staff was amazing too and the office was really clean. They're the BEST!!! read more

I had root canal today and could not wait to write a review. My experience completely changed my point of view of this procedure. It was absolutely painless, I felt very comfortable. The equipment that Dr.Ahani used amazed me- he did my root canal using a microscope. How incredible is that? And during the entire time he was cracking me up with jokes. The office is beautiful. While sitting in the dental chair I was looking out of the window at a beautiful court yard with tall trees and a waterfall. Staff is very friendly and very caring. The most important part was that EVERYONE in that office loves what they do. The energy there is amazing. read more

I have a big fear of dentists, but this place totally put me at ease. Dr. Ahani was patient, gentle and did an awesome job on this root canal. I'd say even easier than a normal filling! Too bad he can't be my regular dentist. :-) read more

Had a root canal today... Have to say I was very scared and nervous. This was one of the best dental experiences I've ever had. Dr. Ahani was great and so was his staff!! Thank you guys for taking such great care of me. Hope I'll never need another root canal, but if I do, I know where I'm going!! read more

Dr. Ahani came in on his day off to perform a root canal...he and his staff were all highly professional and very friendly. His office is modern, and seems to be outfitted with the latest technology. I had as positive an experience as one could hope to have under these conditions. I highly recommend Dr. Ahani if you are ever in need of an efficient, pain-free solution to a root canal procedure. read more

This is funny. I just read a couple of reviews, and it is mind-boggling that I would ever write a review (much less a GOOD one) about a root canal. This man knows his stuff, he obviously likes what he does, and he is a cool zen master. The procedure was painless; the environment is sterile and calming. He keeps you in the loop as he works, and uses his awesome technology to show you a wide-screen shot of your failing 1970s-era dental work and his super cool improvements. Dr. Ahani lectures other dentists - and I'm glad he's spreading his mojo around the Bay Area. read more

I rarely write reviews, and here I am writing them on my plumber and my endodontist in the same day. I had to have 4 root canals recently, and I don't even do meth! Bad teeth genes, but Dr. Ahani is the best if you need a root canal. I have seen him for a few years, and he is excellent at what he does, and funny also. If you have to have intense dental procedures, he will make it easier on you. I highly recommend him. read more

While Dr. Ahani appears friendly and glib, he's quite unprofessional. He performed an unnecessary root canal procedure on me, costing me all of my insurance coverage for the year. It did not solve the problem, and when I asked to speak to him about it, he would NEVER return my phone calls. I asked my dentist, who referred me to him, to call him. They spoke and he said he would call me. Never did. I ended up having to see another endodontist. Dr. Ahani's behavior is completely inappropriate and his conduct remarkably unprofessional. I would not recommend him to anyone. read more

I agree with other 5 star reviews. Dr. Rowshan is extremely skilled and nice. His staff are excellent as well. I can't give him enough stars to express my appreciation for his outstanding manner and work. read more

Dr. Ahani and his staff are as great as the other reviewers say. He is gentle, caring, and he has a great sense of humor. I felt completely relaxed from the minute I walked into the office. This was my first root canal and I can honestly say that the worst thing about a root canal is the fact it's called a "root canal." Couldn't they just call it a "root filling" instead? I would send my friends and family to Dr. Ahani. read more

Need a root canal done? Dr. Ahani is your guy! He's professional, down to earth and walks you through the entire process. Entire staff is friendly and thorough in explaining their step by step procedures all the way down to the financials. As I recall, it took less than two hours for a one root canal and it was virtually painless. After the numbness wore off, I was only in very slight pain during the healing process (as expected) for about a day or two and that was it. Thank you Dr. Ahani and staff for your continued work in Endodontics. read more
