Endodontic and Implantology not only handled the procedure flawlessly, they also talked me through every step beforehand in a way that made the whole thing feel... dare I say... manageable. By the time they started, I was actually calm. And by the next day? Zero drama, zero pain, and a tooth that finally stopped throbbing like a bad drum solo. If you're a fellow procrastinator with dental anxiety, this is the place. They earned every star. Thanks to Dr. Shirani and the entire team.

He had a great sense of humor, warm and was very respectful of my fear of dental work. Today, I had another implant done and it was another successful procedure. Dr. Shirani and team were just as caring and attentive as the first time. If you are searching for an endodontist, I highly recommend him. He's great for patients who are petrified of dental work. I would have him as my dentist if I could! Thank you Dr. Shirani! You are simply the best!!!

It took one hour and there was no pain after the anastesia wore off, in spite of being told it would hurt for a few days. Dr. Chow did the second root canal, which was more complex and more uncomfortable than the first one. He also did a good job, explaining what he was doing and what to expect as he worked on my tooth.

The moment you walk in you are greeted by the 3 gals at the front desk. The ambiance from the front desk, patient room and even restroom was so calming. I told my husband that I felt like I went to the spa! The place was nicely lit, super clean, smelled really nice and not overpowering. My experience with the care quality that Dr. Chen and her team carried from check in, explaining what they will be doing to diagnose, plan of care, costs, payments etc was probably the most relaxing experience I've ever had. Even their voices were putting me into a trance lol I have my procedure scheduled until after I deliver my baby. I appreciate that Dr. Chen did not rush this procedure but rather chose to wait for the best interest of my health and pregnancy. That's when I knew I was in good hands. Will be back to review after my procedure.

I had an old crown that fell off while on vacationing back in December 2025. I contact my general…read moredentist hoping it will be a quick fix and replace a new crown. He did some work on the tooth and after couple weeks the tooth started to hurt. I had a root canal in other tooth over 10 years ago so the feeling of sharp pain was very familiar. I called my dentist office to let them know I need a root canal and will be seeing a specialist. My dentist has my permanent crown waiting for me and I thought I could hold off on seeing a specialist, but the root canal pain was unbearable. So I went to see another dentist, Dr. Nguyễn on a Saturday. After xray and assessment, she prescribed me some antibiotics and pain medication. She then referred me to Dr. Chen. I've seen other Endodontist in the past for my other root canal and the experience with Dr. Chen by far was the best experience and I am extremely grateful for her. Dr. Chen was extremely pleasant, explained the entire process in detail, explained during the procedure, and explained to me what to expect after my procedure. She did not only successfully took our four nerve in that one tooth, but also reshaped my top crown, so when my new bottom crown is on, it will not ruin my dental crown. She even suggested, once my crown is placed by my dentist, please come back to her to make sure my bite and crown fit perfectly so it doesn't create problems for me in the future at no cost to me! I do have aggressive grinding and biting so she wanted to make sure I can keep the longevity of my crowns, since we all know this stuff is costly. She genuinely put her patient first, she even waived some charges for me! The office called me the next day to ask how I was doing. The staff and Dr. Chen are so kind and professional. Now, I am sad I won't get to see her again until my next root canal (hope that doesn't happen). If it does, I know where to go. If you want an exceptional, knowledgeable Endodontist who also put your needs ahead of your wallet, I highly recommend Dr. Chen.

Dr. Tran did an excellent job -- the procedure was smooth and comfortable, and I was amazed that I didn't need to take any pain medication once the sedation and numbness wore off.

I highly recommend Dr. Lisa Tran and her team for their outstanding dental care!

Dr. Tran was professional, providing updates to my dentist, and checked up on me the day after.

Then provided very low levels technical details and justification for extra tests. I love the doctor specifically (forget his name but it's a male), because nothing is ambiguous.

Especially for medical details, it's very frustrating navigating it all but he really cares and puts a lot of thought into explaining to dispell worries

All of the staff are incredibly kind and helpful as well, they checked up on me to make sure I received the prescription for my pain medications. I was extremely nervous coming in because it's my first ever root canal treatment but Dr. Monzavi is great and I felt comfortable during the treatment. He checks on you throughout the treatment to make sure you are OK and that the procedure is painless, then after the treatment thoroughly reviews with you what has been done and what the next steps are. I had 2 appointments so far (due to the severity of the infection) and each of them took less than an hour which is way quicker than what I expected. They scheduled me another follow-up appointment to check on the healing progress. You can tell the people here care about their patients. Overall I would highly recommend this office to my family and friends and anyone else looking to get a root canal done. :)

They walked me through multiple assessments, and we agreed on a plan to save my second tooth before committing to another root canal.

It's always a good sign when someone follows up and answers your concerns! :)
