I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dr. Pandez and his staff. From start to finish, they were caring, professional and thorough. They made sure l was pain-free and comfortable throughout the procedure and even had Beatz headphones l synced to my phone so l could listen to music. They also called after the procedure to see how l was doing. Their prices are reasonable, the office is lovely and l highly recommend SLO Endodontics. read more

From my standpoint, having worked (as a hygienist) in dental offices for 40+ years, Dr Pandez's office is very impressive. It is well organized and everyone works together seamlessly and with consideration. The staff is knowledgeable, proficient and very caring. The same being true of Dr Pandez's himself. It's a professional, state-of-the-art office with lovely people and excellent care. .... a positive office experience! We are lucky to have them in our area. read more

Highly Recommend!!! SLO Endodontics was the most professional, comfortable medical office I have ever been to. I would highly recommend this office and Dr Pandez. He really listened to my issue, thoroughly explained my options, and even personally called to check on me after my procedure. It was painless and faster than expected. All of the other staff were very professional, polite, and really listened as well. The office was very clean and professional, but welcoming and calm. The room I was in had a huge window with a view of trees and they provided headphones to listen to music during the procedure. They've thought of everything! It was a great experience! read more

DR. Pandez got me in right away, same day as he wanted to allow time before my trip to allow healing . His entire staff were professional, kind , and explained each process as we went along . Dr. PAndez continually checked with me regarding possible pain while procedure was going on and showed great care throughout the process . He was informative and due the nature of la difficult tooth anatomy , explained all the risk possibilities. A 4.5 hour procedure went past regular office hours on a Friday . I cannot say enough how grateful I am for his consideration and care . A day later I'm am relatively pain free and ready for my travels ! read more

Top notch root canal at a reasonable price! Dr. Pandez, Gina, and Diana provided the best low stress environment possible. I was the only patient they had scheduled for both my 3-D imaging/Consultation and root canal. Dr. Pandez is very methodical and conscientious! Diana went out of her way to make sure my insurance company paperwork was correct. I hopefully won't need their services soon but if I do, Dr. Pandez and his staff are the only ones I will consider! read more

Dr. Pandaz and his staff are absolutely terrif! They made the usual dreaded root canal experience painless and stress-free! I can't thank them enough for their professionalism and respectful attitude! read more

I was very impressed by the technology used in treatment and the high level of competency and care that Dr. Pandez and his entire staff have. I was comfortable and confident that I was in good hands. read more

Dr. Pandez is fantastic. The entire office is wonderful, with great communication. I had such a great experience here and would recommend them to anyone. read more

Dr. Pandaz is outstanding. He's knowledgeable and professional -- and also a good listener, a good communicator, and genuinely kind. I find that a pretty rare combination. Every staff member I met, from the front-desk assistant to the tech who assisted with my root canal, was genuinely a pleasure to interact with. I received excellent care and healed fast. Thank you, SLO Endodontics! read more

I join the other 5-star ratings. Dr. Pandez did my root canal and it was like a walk in the park. No pain! The room where he does the procedure (under a microscope) has an almost floor-to-ceiling window so the room is filled with natural light and you can see outside. I hate those exam rooms with no windows. If you have Delta Dental he is in the network which reduces your out-of-pocket by about $900 compared to out-of-network Endos. The only recommendation I would make to Dr. Pandez is that when he greets the patient to take off his surgical mask. I could be seated next to him at a burger joint and wouldn't know who he was. He called personally a week or so after the procedure to ask how I was. That's always nice. read more

I was referred to Dr. Pandez by my dentist when I needed a particularly difficult root canal re-treatment for a front tooth. I was a little worried because he was a lot younger than the other endodontists in town, but considering their previous lack of quality service, and my dentist's enthusiasm about Dr Pandez's quality of care, I was willing to give him my trust. Since then I have had several occasions to have Dr Pandez work on my mouth. Every time he has been friendly, the staff have been very friendly and helpful with making appointments, even working extra hard to get me in the same day with my regular dentist for a crown after the root canal on my front tooth, which was not a good look to go a week without. The bottom line is: after a failed root canal with Dr Marcum, his predecessor, I am now back at SlO Endodonics... as long as it's Dr Pandez doing the work! He's got the latest equipment and technology, including 3-D x-ray/CT machines, and other highly precise instruments for diagnostics and performance of root canal and apico procedures. Pandez has a light touch with giving numbing medications, so I didn't feel the shots much at all. You wouldn't believe how many dentists don't know how to give basic painless injections by just going a bit more slowly instead of jamming it in fast!!! Dr Pandez was willing to try and save a tooth, previously root canaled by Dr Marcum, that failed. He was able to do a surgery through my gum, called an "apico", to get into the infected root canal from the tip of the root, clearing out the infection there, and backfilling the root. It took about 4 hours because it was not an easy job, but he didn't charge me extra or get rushed and irritated to get to his golf game, which was my previous experience with Marcum. He took his time and finished calmly and easily, and even put in a couple extra stitches when he thought the incision needed a bit more support in the back. What a difference between Pandez and Marcum!!! I don't know, but I get the sense he doesn't play a lot of golf or travel to African countries to kill lions in preserves... he values his patients and considers that we may be intelligent and do a lot of research before we come in. Dr Pandez does a little wiggle that makes you not feel the needle or the painful numbing medications going in... even when you know it's happening! And throughout the visit, he sits and actually looks me in the eye to explain what the options are, and answers any and all of my many questions. He actually considers my suggestions carefully before he tells me something is impossible, and I appreciate that a lot in a doctor of any kind. I won't be going to any other endodontist in this area from now on. Dr Pandez is the best for my needs. read more

Absolutely amazing, would give 10 stars if I could. Very thorough and everything was explained very well. I get nervous in preparation for dental work and they made the experience very comfortable for me. read more

My dentist recommended me to an out of network endodontist, but I called my insurance and they gave me Dr. Pandez. I called and scheduled an appointment. To my surprise they said they could do the x-rays/consultation and the root canal all in the same day if I wanted. I was already in pain and over my tooth sensitivity that I said I would like to do that. They got me in within a couple weeks but I had to reschedule because I got sick. The front office staff were great. They were able to reschedule me. The day of my appointment, they called and asked if I could come in early. I was already on my way, so I told them I would be there soon. Once I arrived, the front office staff greeted me and by the time I was done filling out my paperwork it was time to go back. The Doctors assistant was really sweet and made me feel comfortable. When Dr. Pandez came in the room he explained everything to me. I told him I was nervous because this was my first root canal. He made sure to explain every step of the process. He also checked on me constantly during the procedure to make sure I was okay. I was so comfortable I could have taken a nap during the procedure. I felt like I was in good hands and that I could trust Dr. Pandez. I didn't feel anything but a little jaw pain every now and then during. After the procure, I didn't have any pain. It's been a few days now and I feel great! I am finally pain free and can eat on my right side. I was avoiding eating on this side for a couple months due to pain. I am so glad I went to Dr. Pandez. He is amazing and his team is great! If I need anymore root canals (hopefully never again) I will definitely go back to Dr. Pandez. He also called me the next day to check on me. At SLO Endodontics, you will find a caring doctor, who not only makes you feel heard and comfortable, but also does great work. Thanks you Dr.Pandez and your team! You all are awesome!! read more

See all

I I had 2 root canals back to back a few years back when the endodontist doing the procedure performed the root canal on the wrong tooth, then immediately performed the procedure on the correct tooth. Needless to say, I was terrified when my current dentist informed me I needed another root canal on that tooth. Dr. Copp suggested I see Dr.Raymond Pandez to do the procedure. I had both physical & mental reactions when I again entered the office. When Dr. Pandez confirmed that I indeed needed another root canal, it took me months to muster up the courage to schedule the procedure, but I did. I am so grateful for Diane's patience as she talked me through my fears as I struggled to make the appointment. Dr Pandez and Gina were the best as they discussed everything that was going to take place and explained things as they happened. Even the initial injections to numb the area were not painful. Really, no joke. I experienced no pain during the procedure, and just a bit of discomfort for a day or two after. I can now heartily recommend Dr. Pandez and his staff if you ever have the need to see an endodontist. read more

To say my root canal was simple would be an understatement. Even though I was very anxious about it, worrying about the pain, I had an excellent experience with Dr Pandez. Between the headphones to play my soothing music, the dark glasses to keep the bright light out of my eyes, and the kindness from his chair-side assistant, I felt relaxed and taken care of. The only pain I experienced was the brief numbing medication. The procedure itself did not - even once - cause me any pain. He is a consummate professional, as is his staff. From the moment I first walked into the office, I knew I had chosen the right endodontist. I understand why he has only 5-star reviews. I'm just happy that my experience warranted another five-star review for him and his entire office. The very best! read more

My dentist referred me to SLO Endodontics and I have to say if you ever need a root canal this is the place to go!!!

Recently I was in need of a root canal. My dentist, Dr. Ross, referred me to SLO Endodontics. Within 2 days the procedure was completed by Dr. Pandez. The staff and Dr. Pandez were the epitome of professionalism. Dr. Pandez followed up with a phone call a few days after the procedure which was most appreciated. Should you be in need of endodontic care you would be wise to seek out their office! read more

Went in for a root canal and now I'll never go anywhere else. Super accommodating office staff and very professional dental practice! Would definitely recommend!! read more

Every positive thing you've already read about Dr. Pandez and his team is spot on. I just had a root canal repair done there today and it was a very positive, highly professional, high-tech, and caring experience. From the blue-tooth headphones that allowed me to listen to a distracting podcast, to the efficient and caring touch of everyone involved, I knew I was in the best hands possible. He was even able to find a canal that had been missed by my previous endodontist ten years ago! I'm thrilled and grateful for the truly excellent care I received today. read more

Went to see Dr. Raymond Pandez for a root canal (uhgh). The entire staff made this a frictionless process. The office staff was great, I loved my dental assistance (very attentive), and Dr. Pandez was a pro. He's very proficient and painstaking in his methods. I had an extra small canal in the tooth and he made sure he found it and filled it. Would go again (but actually hoping I never have to). :-) read more

I've had several root canal procedures over the years, but my root canal yesterday was the best by far.

Dr. Pandez and the whole office staff is wonderful to work with and so caring! I can't say enough good things about this office. If you need the services of an Endodontist, this is the place to go. read more
