Dear Dr. Ebeid, My family and I hope you, your staff, and everyone's families are all doing well! We want to thank you for your continued kindness, caring, sincerity, and professional help and guidance with my recent root canal and the ones in the past. I also appreciate the follow-up care you give. We are grateful for our lives each day, and we are grateful to you and all for helping to keep us healthy. Dr. Ebeid, thank you for putting me at ease with your smile and conversation from the moment you walked into the room recently and during each past visit in addition to knowing that you love what you do and your professional skills are beyond compare. I appreciated how informative and open to questions you were as always. I also appreciated that it was a painless procedure! ;) As my husband and I talked with you just after the procedure, I mentioned that I wished that I could have actually seen the root canal being done in addition to hearing you announce in technical language all that you were doing each step of the way. That said, I'm always amazed to see the "before" and "after" x-rays. Truly, the "after" x-rays are both a "picture of health" as well as a beautiful work of art. Thank you! From the start to the finish and in-between, we thank you and all for all of your help! Isabel, you answered the phone when I called for an appointment. You remembered me right away from the past years and welcomed me warmly. I appreciated your help with my appointments, questions, and follow-up calls as well as you encouraging and reminding me of the importance to take care of things as soon as possible, keep calm, and just "hold my head still! ;) Thank you! Pat, I talked with you as I have in the past years and you remembered me right away and greeted me warmly, too. I also appreciated you helping me with appointments, questions, follow-up calls and calm and encouraging advice. Thank you! Wynona and Mars, you have both helped me recently and during the past years with scans, x-rays, and assisting with the procedures. As with everyone there, you maintained calmness and encouragement throughout the procedures and were also open to questions along the way. I also appreciated that you understood I had neck and back issues and made sure that I had the pillows to help with my comfort. Thank you! Thank you all again for all you do! My family and I wish you and your families good health and happiness always! We are so grateful for all of you! read more

Dr Ebeid is the go to person for certain tricky and complicated dental procedures. And he is a great guy to chat with! Highly recommend him! read more

I have had two root canals with Dr Ebeid and both experiences were great. He explains the work he's doing and options for care. he really cares about his patients. I had very minimal discomfort both times. I just felt like I was in great hands. most recently, one day after my upper root canal I almost forgot that I had one. I never even got sore. I really recommend this dentist. His office is also competent with billing and what insurance will cover and what I might owe. Last time they actually sent me a partial refund check a few weeks later because insurance covered more than they had anticipated. It's a very honest practice. read more

Nobody wants to have a root canal, but Dr.Ebeid and his staff made it as pleasant as it possibly could be. I had absolutely no pain and was comfortable the entire time. Dr Ebeid has a magic trick for giving the anesthesia shots, he is a good listener and is a self-described dental nerd which in my book is just the kind of doctor I'm looking for. I had first seen Dr Ebeid in 2019 which was also a good experience. I can't imagine why anyone would go any place else for a root canal! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Ebeid and all the wonderful gals in his office!!! I have been twice but yesterday, walked in after 1:00pm, with horrible tooth pain, totally expecting to have to wait days ... but was taken care of immediately!!! Not only was I seen right away, but was not made to feel like I was putting them out by (I'm sure) interrupting their schedule and adding to it, but they acted like I can just in time so I wouldn't be in more pain. I've never experienced such care and highly recommend!!! read more

Wow! I am so impressed. I needed the dreaded root canal. The pain before was unbearable. I got a consultation within hours of my call and got an appointment for the procedure the very next day. He and his technicians were polite, caring, and empathetic to my pain. They worked their magic. Now, only one day later, I'm feeling back to normal. I recommend going here for any of the procedures that he offers. I am so grateful for his professionalism and great sense of humor. Thank you so much! Lisa read more

Dr. Ebeid and the entire staff were so pleasant, efficient, and helpful every step of the way. I was in and out of there in no time, all questions answered, very accommodating. Hopefully no more root canals in the future, but will be back if necessary! Thank you so much. read more

Samer M Ebeid, DDS - Endodontists Near Me - San Rafael, California

Dr. Ebeid is very skilled and I have seen him here and there over many years as needed. Very happy with the outcome. He's easy to communicate with, he cares, and his office has kind people working there. I have gone in for tooth pain and he readjusted my bite instead of automatically doing a root canal. He explains everything and answers any questions. I have had exceptional care from Dr. Ebeid. read more

I had a badly infected tooth and needed a root canal. Kaiser/Deltal USA HMO gave me Dr. Ebeid's name. First of all the dentist is excellent BUT! his office staff that is incredibly bad, rude and inept. On the phone they refused to make an appointment with me because they didn't like my insurance. When called called back to say I had upgraded my insurance they told me QUOTE " you have the worst insurance! I did get an appointment but not for a couple of weeks. Remember I got his name from my insurance company. Meanwhile taking strong antibiotics because of infection. Then they gave me an appointment not to do a root canal but an evaluation without telling me that. I am now a month into a severe infection. Finally, they do the root canal after waiting for 7 weeks! I could have died from sepsis. They charged me 1150$ and after checking the codes with my insurance company I find out they over charged me by 647$! it was supposed to be 503$ not 1150$. SO now after a month of dealing with Kaiser and Delta they agreed that Ebeid over charged me. And said they would refund the money...However after spending yet another day on the phone with Delta and Kaiser Grievance I have yet to see the 647$ refund. So my advice is if you ever have to deal with Dr, Ebeid's office run like hell! DO not go there. read more

Honestly, best and most pain free root canal I have ever had. Dr Ebeid came highly recommended and I completely understand why! He made me feel comfortable, checked in on how I was doing throughout the procedure. He did a great job and is highly skilled in his field. His assistant Mars was just as wonderful! I highly recommend! read more

Great experience at Dr Ebeid's. I needed a root canal. This is a very well-run, professional dental office. Everyone is pleasant and informative. The actual procedure was painless and done in a timely manner. Dr Ebeid and his assistants work together like a well-oiled machine. I was very impressed! read more

Dr. Ebeid and his staff are top notch! Highly recommend! I was nervous about my root canal procedure but everything was professional and smooth. read more

I have been advised that root canal procedures should be done quickly after diagnosis to prevent further infection and complications, certainly within a couple weeks. My experience is that they delayed my root canal consultation by several weeks after initial contact, then afterward scheduled the root canal procedure for six weeks later. They claimed to be "understaffed." Root canal procedures should not be delayed so long. I finally requested a copy of my catscan disk (x rays), and even that took many days and many phone calls for them to complete. I'd recommend another endodontist, for sure. And indeed I found one in San Rafael that can complete the procedure in a week! Buyer beware! read more

I don't want to write a negative review because they can hugely impact the business owners who receive them, but if a medical or dental professional has or could harm others either medically or financially, I make an exception. Unfortunately this is one of those instances. Do not go here. Dr. Ebeid took a scan that insurance didn't cover - he said that it would help him diagnose my issue. But it turns out I didn't need that scan and he gave me an incorrect dental diagnosis. I got 2 other dental opinions after his diagnosis (thankfully my gut told me to get advice elsewhere before scheduling the procedure with him) and both dentists said his diagnosis was incorrect and the scan was unnecessary. Had Dr. Ebeid done the dental work he advised that I do, it would have caused my mouth a lot of damage and thousands of dollars in unnecessary dental work. Thankfully I was able to get the correct dental work needed done by a really great dentist. Read the reviews here who say similar things about Dr. Ebeid. I wish I had seen these negative reviews before I went to him, but I was referred to Dr. Ebeid by my regular dentist, so I assumed the referral was a good one. I've let my dentist know about this so hopefully they won't refer him to any of their patients. read more

Run the other way ! I wasted 4000 ! So my dentist recommended Ebeid Said I might need a root canal . I know nothing about dentistry he said to get it Took his advice and it failed after 17 months I had problems with it about six months after he did grind my tooth down For free and told me my Dentist should've done this then I wanted to go back And his office manager would not waive the $300 for the x-rays she said it wasn't covered by insurance So now I'm out 4000 including the crown read more

What an amazing experience. Was very scared of my first root canal. The staff was friendly and the whole process was excellent. Pain free. Thank you!!! read more

I had to get some unexpected dental work and I'm glad I found Dr. Ebeid. I was stressed out but he made the experience as pleasant as possible. He mentioned a couple times it would be pain free and he followed through. The assistants and receptionist Isabel were very kind and friendly. His office is located in an office building behind Northgate One on the first floor. There is plenty of parking under the building. He accepts Delta Dental PPO insurance. I highly recommend him if you need a root canal. read more

I feel so lucky to have landed in the office of Dr. Ebeid. I called Dr. Ebeid's office hoping to make an appointment for an extreme toothache, and I was so grateful when they kindly fit me in that very same day. From the moment I arrived, the office staff was warm, welcoming, and put me at ease. I was brought into the patient room by Dr. Ebeid's assistant, and before he even entered, I overheard the respectful, gentle, and polite way he spoke with his team. In that very second, I felt completely reassured that I was in the right hands for what I suspected might be a root canal. Dr. Ebeid performed a very thorough exam and, with his expertise, identified that the tooth causing the problem wasn't actually the one I had suspected -- something I so appreciated, as it speaks to his careful and precise approach. The office was kind enough to fit me in swiftly for the procedure. The root canal itself was remarkably smooth and painless. I also thought it was so thoughtful that the office called the next day (a Friday) to check in and see how I was doing -- such a small gesture, but one that meant a lot. If anyone is looking for an endodontist, or has any concerns about a severe toothache that might need a root canal, I would wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Ebeid. You will be in excellent, kind, and capable hands. Thank you immensely dear Dr. Ebeid & Team! read more

I was dealing with severe tooth pain for over a week. They adjusted their schedule to get me in quickly for a root canal. The dentist was kind, thorough, and explained the issue clearly--I felt in good hands the entire time. However, I do wish they had explained more clearly why the CT scan was needed and how that information would be used during the root canal. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Ebeid from experience. I went to see Dr. Ebeid for a root canal on recommendation from my dentist. I was able to get an appointment within a couple days and found communication with the office very easy and reliable. Dr. Ebeid was very friendly, but focused. He made sure that the work needed to be done and very communicative with me before getting to work, and he commented that he'll not likely be communicating once he starts -- which was fine with me. The work seemed to have been very well, and I had little pain thereafter. I took a couple Tylenol right after the work, and that was it. Everything feels fine in my mouth. No pain, no sense that any work was done, other than the pain from the nerve no longer present. The only thing I didn't like was the number of xrays throughout the procedure. There must've been about 7-8 xrays. I understood he does them to see that progress is being made as expected. But, if I had to do over again, I would ask about the necessity. read more

Needed an emergency endodontic procedure and my dentist recommended Dr. Ebeid. I had a great experience and I highly recommend him especially if you have Delta Dental. He and his team were able to fit me in right away and the procedure went very smoothly. read more

My very first root canal went so smoothly I had to write my very first Yelp review. Dr. Ebeid was recommended to me by two other dentists, and the proceedure which took only an hour and a quarter, was painless. All my life 'root canal' was equated with agony. It is 24 hrs later and I'm eating steak, no problem. The office staff has been with Dr. E for years, and they made me feel very welcome. Trust this guy, he's very knowledgeable and willing to educate an eager first-timer to the details of what a root canal procedure entails. read more

I needed an emergency root canal, and my dentist referred me to Dr. Ebeid. Dr. Ebeid could see I was in a lot of pain, and he was able to squeeze me into his schedule. I'm so thankful he did. Root canals aren't fun but Dr. Ebeid was very professional and efficient. I had a little bit of soreness but then felt fine after a few days. Dr. Ebeid and his staff are wonderful! read more

One of my wisdom teeth finally gave out, and the pain was a lot for me. My regular dentist saw me this morning, and referred me to Dr. Ebeid, arranged the appointment. They got me in at the end of the day, and took care of the problem quickly and dare I say relatively painlessly. DIrect, effective, no BS, he and his staff got it done pronto. read more

Samer Embied DDS did a root canal on me 8 years ago when I had problems, recently his assistant told me, well its lasted a long time, I then told her it's the only root canal I have ever had and all my other teeth have lasted almost 70 years, I guess every time this guy does a root canal it's only going to last 8 years? read more

I can't speak highly enough of Dr Ebeid. As a seasoned citizen on a budget, I'm now on Delta Dental w/Kaiser. And to be honest, I kind of expected to get some kind of "discount dentistry", lol. Instead, I was lucky to have Dr. Ebeid work on my mouth yesterday, and I am in fact kind of amazed at what he was able to do. Usually, when you have an existing crown and need a root canal, you end up losing the crown. He listened to my concerns -- yes he's actually listens -- about the costs and went way far out of his way to preserve the crown. And saved me so much money in the process. It turns out that he utilizes a technique you don't often see used; he carefully goes into the back of the tooth and extracts the nerve via that route. All without taking the crown off, impressive. He's also one of those guys you'd like to have over for dinner. You can tell that, besides being a dedicated professional, he's also a family man, a dog lover and a person who genuinely cares. Thank you so much, Dr. Ebeid. Oh and nice front desk folks too! read more

DO NOT see this doctor unless you have a pre-authorization from your insurance carrier! I was referred to Dr Ebeid by my dentist who told me that Dr Ebeid would get a pre-authorization from Delta Dental and let me know what my out of pocket would be. When I called Dr Ebeid's office I was told that my total out of pocket expense would be $295 as my insurance does not cover a CT scan. After the appointment for the CT scan, and less than 5 minutes with Dr Ebeid, I paid the $295 and left. Three weeks later I was informed by Delta Dental that Dr Ebeid billed for two additional x-ray images and a consultation fee of $192. I contacted Dr Ebeid's office and wrote a letter to Dr Ebeid stating I was never informed of any additional charges that would be performed in addition to the charge that was quoted for the CT scan. When I contacted the Dr's office by telephone to question the additional charges, the receptionist was very rude and told me to send a letter to the Dr, which I did. My letter to the Dr stated that I was never informed of the additional charges and I received a written three page response of mainly nonsense including the following: "It is the responsibility of the insured to be aware of the terms of their policy". Had I known there were additional procedures, I would have insisted on a pre-authorization so I could time my appointment to a period where I had coverage. Additionally, the Dr wrote that they "will not accept any communication from me including phone calls, USPS mail or email." They are also "terminating my chart from their office and will no longer see me as a patient." They are now threatening to turn me over to collection for a balance due of $156, even though they will not accept a check by mail or a phone call for a credit card payment. In summary, if there are any other providers for this service, use them. read more

I had 3 root canals before with Ebeid and was satisfied with the results, until August 2023. Nobody wants to feel cheated and with Dr. Ebeid that's exactly how I felt on that day. My dentist recommended I see him again for another root canal when my #3 molar became abscessed. The technician did the 3d X-rays and he gave me a FIVE MINUTE consult telling me he couldn't help me; I didn't need a root canal; I needed a periodontist for an extraction. And for that I was charged $487 dollars, $285 for the X-ray and $200 to tell me he couldn't help me! The office helper said i would be refunded any money Delta Dental paid; which they didn't to! After spending about $7,000 for those other root canals he didn't have the courtesy of giving any discount. I will NEVER go to him again! read more

Woweee, Dr Ebeid is amazing! I was so dreading the root canal only to discover that with Dr Ebeid, this was the easiest dental procedure EVER. First, he was fully on board with eliminating all pain; he spent some time talking me through my options (answer: nitrous all the way). Second, he has a caring manner that is very calming. And third, bar none, he has a cheek technique that 100% eliminated the novocaine shot experience. Like, how the heck???? Even though I had an abcess around my molar, I was delighted that he did not want me taking antibiotics. The root canal itself was no different than getting a filling. Just that simple. Zero pain during or after. Really, this was an all-around amazing experience. Totally recommend him. read more

Was referred to him by my dentist for a root canal. I was very impressed at his professionalism and knowledge. He did a cat scan on my tooth, and decided it was better to have it extracted than to do a root canal due to a deep crack in the tooth. He then walked down the hall with me to my dentist's office to discuss his recommendation. And he is a delightful fellow to be around. All in all, my highest recommendation. read more

I was given a referral from my dentist to go see anEndodontist in San Rafael, Dr. Samar Ebeid. The reason I went there was because the receptionist told me that they did IV sedation. When got there and signed in inmade her aware that I had Delta Dental .insurance. Without putting any information in the computer she said my charge for the day was $652.09z my husband paid them. I went back to see the Dr. and he said I did not need a root canal. The next day it was bothering me that the receptionist never put any insurance info into the computer. I proceeded to call Delta Dental and explain the situation. I was told I was covered and should of only been charged 306$. I called Kaiser grievance and the lady Deborah did a 3 way call with myself and (Isabell) the office manager. She insisted I did not have insurance coverage,I explained that I did and she needed to please submit the proper paper work so I would get my credit back. K tried asking her a few questions, her reply was, "I'm too busy to answer any questions that she had others on the phone and hung up on me. I called her the next day and she said when she has the time she would send in the proper paper work. It's been over a month now. I have not heard anything. I put a call into her today and asked to speak with the Dr himself. She proceeded to say he was busy and hung up. I spent 4 hrs today between Kaiser Delta Dentist, the grievance department and the dentist office again. While talking to my assigned case manager Francisco at Delta Dental grievance department, I asked him if there was any news yet. He said to me something been mailed out two weeks ago. I proceeded to tell him I never received it. I told him that I had left 3 messages for him and he never got back to me. I kindly asked him to read the letter. His reply was ,"he did not have the time, would send it in the mail and then I can see what it says". At this Point I was ready to loose it and demanded that he read the letter to Me. It basically said that I'm not be getting any money back because the office manager at the Dr.s off did not get the information submitted in time. The moral of this story is avoid this office by all means!!! I have never ever been treated so disrespectfully by any company. I spent the last two hrs on the phone with Delta Dental and they are going to be contacting the main person in charge. Having to fight for something that is rightfully yours is so very upsetting. People with those bad attitudes have no place dealing with the publuc. All of this rudeness so so uncalled for and just to be spiteful she purposely got the documents in late know g I would not get a refund. Well I'm not talking this lightly. If I have to march into that Dr.s office and get the papers I need, I will do so. And I guarantee, I will NOT LEAVE WITHOUT THEM. I'm a very sweet and kind person to talk to when it comes to business calls but when I'm treated like shit, watch out. Horrible, Horrible experience with the office manager. Don't know much about the Dr. , at least not as yet... read more

Thank you so much Isabel for getting me in so fast actually the next day! You are amazing and so friendly! Was not looking forward to this visit as Root Canals are not fun...BUT this was a walk in the park not have any pain and glad I caught it early. Dr. Ebeid was amazing and I came home with zero pain. It is my birthday on Sunday so glad I got this done and can enjoy my day. Thank you to all in the great office! read more

I had come here for dental work, and was pleasantly surprised and relieved at the quality of service and people that work there. The staff were patient, and very helpful with my constant clarifying questions and curiosity. On top of great bedside manner, the procedure was relatively painless and even the day after I felt next to no aches or pain! Excellent service and even people, in summary. Thank you Dr. Ebeid, Isabel, and everyone else I didn't get the name of! read more

Dr. Ebeid and his team are excellent on every level. Everyone I encountered was personable, attentive, highly competent, and professional. Dr. Ebeid put me right at ease and explained the X-rays and scans of my tooth to me very clearly and he didn't rush me. There was no medical jargon - I understood in detail what the issue was and he clearly laid out the options and his recommendation. He answered my questions clearly and succinctly. The amazing part is that he told me not to take action on the tooth at this stage. I was so surprised because even when a doctor is good I assume they are going to want to do any work they can to make money. Especially when another doctored has referred you. He said there was no need to do any procedures right now, I am so used to average or poor service in Marin that I'd long given up that any business could make me feel valued and well-served. Dr. Ebeid and his team have restored my faith! I would trust them with any of my medical needs in the future. I will definitely be returning should the need arise! read more

Wow!! I am So Impressed with Dr. Ebeid and his staff!! First off he is a kind and gentle soul! He allays your fears and makes you feel at ease with his chair side manner. He's also been a leader in utilizing the latest in technology, years ahead of the mainstream. Dr. Ebeid was one of the first in Marin to utilize 3D imaging to guide his work to perfection! On top of that he has the skill and the patience to do the most amazing job, and he is very gentle, as well! I appreciate all this, because I am in the business. I am a hygienist, and I know amazing work and teamwork when I experience it! I spoke with Isabelle, Dr. Ebeid's front desk coordinator, and explained my situation. She got me right in. His other long time front desk staff, Pat, was there to greet me on my first visit, and she helped me get thru the paperwork and questions. Wynona, his assistant of 20+ years was so eloquent in making my experience comfortable and assisting Dr. Ebaid to do his best work!! They barely uttered a word, and yet she knew .... Exactly what he needed! It was an eloquent dance!!! Marisol, Dr.'s other assistant of over 20 years, who backed both Doctor Ebeid and Wynona up.... to her, as well! Together they make a Great team! It speaks volumes when staff stays on for so many years! Such a great experience if you need a root canal. I Highly recommend Dr. Ebeid! It's all about ... trust and teamwork, and I am So grateful to work amongst the Very Best!! Hats off to Dr. Ebeid and his team!!! read more

As a referred patient for X-rays I asked if he accepted VA/MetLife insurance. The receptionist said no. When I checked out about 40 minutes later after the X-rays and a 5 minute consultation with Dr. Ebeid I was told that my bill was $295, which I paid by credit card. Three weeks later I received an Explanation of Dental Benefits notice from MetLife advising that my dentist submitted a claim for $541 that included $192 for Consultation. MetLife had paid the dentist $100.40. When I called to question the billing I was told that I must have misunderstood her response to my question because they always bill the insurance company and that the bill was $541. At no time had she mentioned any amount to me other than the $295, nor was I given a receipt for my payment. When I asked to speak to Dr. Ebeid, I was told that I should write a letter. Please consider this that letter. read more

BE CAREFUL!!!! Horrible experience, super bad endodontist Dr Lee which did my root canal leaving a residues in my molar and not taking any responsibility after it was infected and very painful, the staff very aggressive justifying the bad procedure even though i have X-rays from different dentist where i can prove that this procedure failed. read more

Dr Ebied saw the pain in my eyes and immediately empathized and numbed my tooth until he could fit me in at the end of his day at 7pm. He was kind and efficient. read more

A tooth which had been troubling me for years (through multiple dentist visits) finally needed a root canal - I was horrified when I saw the size of the abscess on Dr Ebeid's Xray, which covered the jaw, not just the teeth - this after a week on antibiotics. It took a lot of work to clear it but I was perfectly comfortable, and since then I have been able to chew on that side of my mouth for the first time in years. Best of all, I had been plagued by many silly little ailments for at least the last year, maybe even the two years since that tooth was crowned. I asked Dr Ebeid if this infection could have played a part in that, he said yes, the infection was significant. Since then I have felt noticeably better, which stands to reason. I hope I never have another root canal, but I know where to go if I do. read more

I don't write that many Yelp reviews but wanted to write about my experience with Dr. Ebeid. My dentist referred me because she thought I might need a root canal and she didn't do those procedures. I scheduled an appt for late in the day after I was coming back from a 4 day work trip. I literally landed at SFO and went to my appt. Dr. Ebeid said "yes you need a root canal and its going to get worse pretty fast". He had some time the following week but said he would stay late that night to do it right then if I wanted because he didn't want me to be in pain. I felt bad because the office staff stayed late but I was so happy though because my pain has subsided and Dr. Ebeid did a great job and I was out by 730pm. It was my first experience with the office, but everyone was friendly and professional and caring. Hopefully, I do not need more advanced dental procedures anytime soon but if I do, I will surely go back to see Dr. Ebeid. read more
