Ha! I thought I would stand out with my 5-Star review, but no such luck. Looks like it's gonna get drowned out by the ocean of other 5-Star reviews. But then again, considering my experience with San Diego North Endodontics, I should have expected this. Early last year, I had enough pain to make an emergency visit to my regular dentist. They subsequently sent me over to Doctor Chesler's office for a consultation. Turns out I had an incomplete root canal from a previous dentist many years ago that wasn't done quite right. They got me in right away to resolve the issue and that is exactly what they did! The entire procedure was a cake walk with immediate pain relief. Although there was residual pain due to healing, it has gradually been getting less. My 6-month visit revealed substantial improvement, and my one-year visit showed missing bone structure filling back in. It's to the point of only slight sensation while flossing. Ok, so much for the technical stuff. Regarding Dr. Chesler, I felt like I was his ONLY patient! He kept me fully informed about everything sparing no details. Additionally, he is compassionate in addressing any patient concerns. It's like he goes beyond the call of duty! read more

I just had a root canal therapy procedure done and had a very pleasant experience at this location. Carmen is so friendly and welcoming, she's the first person you speak to when calling or walking through the door, and her warm energy is instantly comforting. Dr. Chesler was also wonderful, he performed the procedure quickly and efficiently, and I felt completely at ease in his care. Alicia, his assistant, was equally kind and supportive, especially during the injections. They truly have an amazing team here! read more

Excellent doctor and staff! I was so nervous about this appointment and the office manager went above and beyond to help me feel more comfortable. I also tend to get chatty when I'm nervous and they continued to make the experience a supportive one. I truly appreciate their kindness and compassion. read more

Dr. Chesler and his staff were very welcoming and kind. I made 2 visits to their office after being referred to SD North Endodontics through my dentist for a likely root canal needed. The consultation was very thorough as Dr. Chesler carefully explained what was going on, what to expect, the risks/complications, etc. He answered all my questions and I felt very confident about next steps. The actual procedure was a success, which was all you can really ask for in this situation. Considering how invasive and not-fun a procedure like this can be, he and his staff made the experience pleasant with good music, lightheartedness, and good conversation (that I could only mumble to). Technically speaking, I'd put Dr. Chesler's skills at highest marks, as he had to "use his brain" a bit more (his words, not mine) during my procedure after seeing I had a not-so common situation going on. He found a way through and accomplished what he intended, but it was no easy feat! I certainly give Dr. Chesler's care and staff at San Diego North Endodontics five stars, and highly recommend to anyone who may be in need of advanced dental needs! read more

I was treated by Dr Mona Adam's yesterday on Thursday 5th and she did a fantastic job for my root canal also the receptionist were very nice and helpful.Im hardly recommend it this place to go read more

Dr Matthew Chesler's office manager in Escondido is a POS! They are still harassing my 88 year old mother to pay more on her bill than they agreed to. It went from $50 to $100 and now $200 per month. They are scaring the shit out of my mom with threats to take her to collections. I have Durable Power of attorney for my mother and called them to tell them they can only deal with me. They agree to that to get me off the phone, then contact my mom with threats again. This office manager is a real low IQ twit. She mocks you on the phone, laughs at you and then hangs up. Just want to get the word out that these people are POS's. read more

Excellent experience from the first phone call to the completion of the root canal. Carmen and Alicia were amazing, kind and explained things thoroughly. Dr. Chesler listened to my dental concerns and went over the options. I choose to have medication to relax me and it was the best decision for me even though I rarely take medication. The entire procedure was painless, quick and effective. I highly recommend this entire office. Great experience! read more

I needed a root canal and my dentist referred me to this location. They were able to see me and treat me the same day. Dr. Chesler put me at ease and was very straightforward with what was going to happen. His whole staff was amazing. I would definitely recommend them as they are pros at what they do. read more

Today I had a root canal done by Dr. Matthew Chesler. He was born to be an endodontist, he was fantastic! He and Carmen worked so well together as a team to make it the best experience for me. I have already recommended Dr Chesler and his team to family and neighbors. read more

Ok, so how many people can say that getting a root canal was actually FUN? Well, now I can raise my hand and say ME! Dr. Chesler and his staff are absolute first class all the way. They made me feel so comfortable and I really enjoyed the experience. I am a local dental hygienist and I will be singing their praises to all my dear patients. I learned so much from my visit and I am beyond grateful to get to know this INCREDIBLE team! read more

Dr. Chesler and his team all deserve 5 stars. They are all warm, caring and ever so competent. At my first appointment Dr. Chesler explained everything that had gone wrong with a previous (13 year old) root canal and how he would correct it. The next morning, as promised, he did just that, explaining everything he was doing during the procedure. The best news: I didn't feel a thing! Thank you Dr. Chesler, Elizabeth and Carmen for all the great care I received and the follow up call to check on how I was feeling the next day. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Barbara Erdos read more

I have been referred to Dr. Chesler twice for root canals. After reading the glowing reviews of Dr. Chesler and his staff, I have to agree whole heartedly with each of them! My procedures were pain free--Dr. Chesler is excellent in his procedures; Alicia is a very professional and caring assistant; and Carmen is always quick to explain and answer questions and always smiling. Dr. Chesler explained everything prior to and during the procedures. The atmosphere is positive, professional, and relaxed. I cannot overstate the excellence of the care I received at San Diego North Endodontics. read more

Excellent experience for root canal procedure, On initial visit was greeted with a welcome smile and my quote of benefits ready and explained. Beth the dental assistant made me feel at ease with her kind smile and rocking those Converse! Dr. Chesler provided the highest quality of care and patient education. I can not wait for my next root canal. I love my Endodontic Dentist! Many thanks for your time... read more

Best dental experience in my 67 years. Skill level off the charts. Great staff and Classic Rock selections

I am petrified of the dentist so when my DDS told me that I needed to have a root canal, I thought my world had come to a end. well, sort of. Dr Chesler was referred by my DDS & was a provider listed by my dental insurance. (Bonus). Stopped by their office the same day to make an appt & get the dreaded procedure done. Was very pleased that before leaving the office, my insurance was contacted so I knew exactly what they would pay & what my out of pocket expenses would be. I go in for procedure. Dr Chesler was very kind, patient, gentle & explained everything he planned to do. His assistant ( I think her name was Melody), was just as nice with an excellent "chairside" manner. After getting into the root canal, Dr Chesler discovered that the tooth was not repairable. The extent of damage could not be seen on xrays as it was part of a bridge with metal between tooth & crown. He suggested I have the molar extracted the same day to avoid further discomfort. Before leaving, his front office called a couple oral surgeons in my area for a same day appt. confirming they networked with my insurance & appt was set up for 3 hrs later. Although Dr Chesler was not able to complete the procedure intended, my experience with him & staff were beyond excellent. I would not hesitate to return if needed. Thank you Dr Chesler & staff. You are very knowledgeable in your field & your staff the best!!! read more

My visit with Dr. Chesler, was a good experience. I highly recommend him. If you ever need a root canal he is a amazing, and the staff there is wonderful. read more

What a wonderful group of people that work here! And a phenomenal dentist. You can tell that him and his dental assistant had a rhythm going....fast but thorough. Had a very pleasant experience from start to finish and I honestly wish I could come here for all my dental needs Highly, highly recommend! read more

My experiences with Dr. Chesler and his staff have all been fantastic! Very friendly customer service and always on schedule. I am a professional saxophone player and was having some sensitivity in one of my front teeth while practicing or performing and Dr. Chesler was able to treat that tooth so it is much less sensitive while I am playing. Thank you very much for running your business in such a calm and stress free fashion. read more

I have been actively trying not to go to the dentist for quite a while-just to let you know these five stars are as good as gold. I didn't know what to expect it has been many years since I have had a root canal and I figured the worst. Like something medieval. Fortunately there were no Iron Maidens. I was very nervous; however, I was put at ease because the office is run efficiently so there is a great flow to the office and there is an amazing dental hygienist who seemed to understand my nervousness before I even said anything. Doctor Chesler told me what would happen, what he expected to see and what to do. Also, when it came to the local anesthesia he injected the area efficiently and it only needed to be done at the beginning. My root canal was also done in under an hour. So, if you need advice on where to go for a trusted endodontist: go here. read more

I recently saw Dr. Chessler for a root canal. All I have to say is WOW! From the moment I scheduled my appointment, I was very well taken care of. The actual appointment went super smoothly, from the painless injection to the good-bye handshake, easy-peasy. I can't say enough about Dr. Chessler and his staff! If you need a root canal, this is a very easy choice. read more

I adore my Endodontist, Dr. Chesler and how he made a dreaded procedure wonderful! I'm SO so glad I found him. Wish I could give him 10 stars. I recommend him highly. read more

My father was referred by his general dentist to Dr. Chesler to complete a root canal procedure. To say this experience was great is an understatement. Dr Chesler was great! He was very patient and informative during the entire process, and he always answered any questions we had in great detail that was understandable. Carmen and Elizabeth were also amazing! They were very welcoming and friendly. Everyone in this office was genuinely interested in my father's health. They made my dad and I very comfortable as they were very conversational. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had and I definitely recommend! read more

I was recommended to this dental facility from my dentist due to issue with previous root canal. Dr Matthew Chesler is great, friendly and gentle what he does. The entire team at Dr Matthew was very friendly as well. The first two visit the work done was so gentle I was able to snooze during the work on my teeth and well rested after it was complete. read more

I was referred by my general dentist. The staff was great. Very welcoming and friendly. The dentist was very nice and informative. Dr. Chesler answers questions with patience and genuine care. The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding. The whole office has positive energy. Highly recommend. Couldn't ask for better dental care. read more

A short background prior to the review. A month before I went to my normal Dentist complaining of soreness of my top jaw. Nothing was found and chalked it up to stress. Then "IT" appeared. A large pus filled growth on my front gums. I went into action like I was infected with Ebola. Conferring with Google and my Dentist resulted in finding out I had a tooth infection and needed treatment. Dr. Smith is one of the most instructive professionals I have ever encountered. He described the problem, the tools used, and the treatment needed. Loved the office staff also. read more

I recently had my first root canal and was so pleased with the outcome. Dr. Chester explained everything in detail, and worked with his assistant seamlessly. The procedure was painless from start to finish. His office team was always courteous and professional. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would because the experience was so pleasant. Congratulations Dr. Chesler and team for such quality dental care. read more

I never thought getting a root canal could be pleasant but indeed it was! The team was incredibly friendly and caring from the time I waked in until the moment I left. I was actually giggling the entire time because they were so happy to be at work and it clearly showed! Thank you for taking such good care of me and being cost effective for my budget! 11/10 would recommend! read more

Had my root canal here yesterday. Had major anxiety but overall it went well and Dr, Chesler did amazing. One suggestion though... maybe after the numbing let the patient sit for a little? I felt the drilling. :( read more

This office is "The Best" I've gone in to his office on more than one occasion on a moments notice for help. There staff is so warm and friendly, they put me at ease each and every time. Dr. Smith is professional and personable and I would refer him every time to anyone who needed there services. Thanks again Dr. Smith for helping me out in a moments notice. Oh ... I cannot forget the awesome ladies that support the man behind the mask. Thank you ! ~Sheila read more

I have incredible dental anxiety. The idea of getting a root canal, as you can imagine, makes me cringe. But I have to say that Dr Chesler and his amazing team were incredible. His dental assistant held my hand and made me feel so much calmer than I really felt. When he numbed my mouth I barely even felt the injections. Dr Chesler explained everything with great clarity and detail (which made me feel more peace). Everyone there is SO professional and nice. The office staff is uber friendly. Everything was super clean and sanitary. The preparation, procedure and follow up appointments went so smoothly. I can't recommend them enough. If I moved 100 miles away but had to get a root canal in the future, I'd drive all the way back here for their excellent care. I don't have a ton of extra time on my hands but when I receive unparalleled service, I like to share the feedback with the community - so they too, can get the same great treatment! read more

Had an excruciating toothache the last few days. 10/10 for pain. It was awful. Went into my normal dentist. They took an xray and referred me to Dr. Chesler to see if "the tooth could be saved". Kinda freaked me out. A lot. But when I got to Dr. Chesler's office, all my worries melted away. From the Led Zeppelin playing throughout the office (much better than the typical elevator music dentists play) to the warm and friendly staff i was greeted by, I knew I had nothing to fear. Dr. Chesler explained everything in great lengths to make sure understood everything. Had me laughing most of the time. I did have to get a quick cat scan at another location before the procedure...which was literally across the street. And then they got me right in with a root canal. Not how I anticipated my day going but everything was quick and painless. I will ALWAYS refer this office to everyone I meet. I was thoroughly impressed with everything and everyone. Oh and the best part is the Doc let me snap a selfie before he started. Lol. read more

Watch out! If you go in and sit down it will cost you $95. They said nothing to me about it until after I had talked to the doc. I balked at a his $1250 root canal fee, and was heading out the door when I was told about the "consultation fee." read more

The entire SD North Endodontics team is wonderful! I was greeted by Melody, who was so kind! Dr. Chesler relieved all of my dental fears, and the procedure was very comfortable. Carmen and Alicia, the assistants, are so awesome. They helped me relax before the procedure and are very skilled. To top it all off the office plays great music!! Definitely the best dental experience anyone could have when getting a root canal. read more

Thank you Dr Chesler and Carmen for a great experience today. Very professional staff. I was very nervous but Dr. Chesler explained everything and it was over before I knew it with no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Chesler and his staff anytime you may need a procedure like a root canal. 100% plus read more

If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. From beginning to end this office is amazing. Dr. Bruce C. Smith is who I saw for a root canal. I have major anxiety when it comes to dental work. Dr. Smith was the most kind and caring person. He put my fears at ease. He listened to my worries, and re-assured me that everything would be fine. And it was. His staff is top notch. From the the receptionist at check-in to the assistant helping Dr. Smith, so sweet and caring. By far the best treatment and would highly recommend this office. read more

Dr. Smith very kind and gentle. He had me in and out of there for a root canal in no time. I definitely recommend him.

5/5: wiihii! as good as it gets! charismatic doc with wonderful reception gals. Dr. Smith does NOT rush through his explanations of the problem and even gave me a mini physiology lesson on how nerves function and thus their methodology behind the anesthetics. I went to him for my root canal and he explained every step of the procedure. before operating, he showed me where the infection was, how the infection functions, how it affects my teeth, the reasons behind my symptoms, why cold water alleviated my pain (bacteria eating the nerves release gas. cold water reduces the pressure of gas), and why my immune system couldn't get the bacteria inside the tooth (blood vessals already dead and occupied by bacteria. can't get white blood cells through). He also commented on the tools, how they work, what they do, and what step he's on during the procedure. He makes you feel like being part of the team. Definitely recommend him. The root canal grossed at $1200. read more

If you have to get a root canal, this is the office to go to. Don't bother looking anywhere else. I can't stress enough at how amazing the staff is here. I just got done and it was hands down the most professional, courteous and easygoing experience I've ever had at a dental office. This experience set the bar for how a person should be treated in that chair. read more

Dr. Chessler is wonderful! After an area, where I received a root canal 18 years ago, began hurting, my dentist recommended that I see Dr. Chessler. He recommended a 3D x-ray and it determined that I had a 4th root that wasn't touched during my original root canal. He and his staff are very friendly and personable. You feel more like friends then Dr/Patient. Though I hope not to have to see him again ;) I would definitely recommend him as if you need a great Endodontist! read more
