Great experience as a new patient ! I was seen at the Oracle office for an emergency procedure that was referred by my primary care DDS. Dr. Keippel and his staff were very accommodating and reassuring, and the procedure was explained to me in advance and every step along the way. The facility even stayed open after hours to make sure that I was taken care of and comfortable. Sure, it wasn't under the best circumstances that my first visit to Southern Arizona Endodontics occurred, but I am in NO pain today and am 100% confident if I ever need this specialized treatment again I know where to go. Thank You Dr. Keippel and staff !!! read more

I was sent here after seeing my dentist for a tooth ache. I have been here before for root canals in the past, and was treated well. I have looked at the reviews, and I always pause when a person leaves a negative review and there is no picture or just a few reviews...one every year or so. I am not saying it is not valid.....it just makes me pause. Same for excellent reviews with no picture and one or two reviews. Hmmmmm........ I digress.... So....this is MY review based on a LONG history having gone here. The staff has ALWAYS been pleasant and helpful. I work with people all day, I get it....so I always try to be nice. I was in a LOT of pain when I got there, and waited quite a while (but I was seen same day for an emergency). The doctor took me back and did several tests to see what tooth it was. Once it was confirmed, he said we will do the root canal now. ((YAY))!! The needles in the roof of my mouth ALWAYS hurt me so much, but the doctor was so patient. I got all numbed up.....and it began. Apparently I had dead and decaying nerves, and that explained the pain, fever, and other unpleasant symptoms I was having. Seriously....I was in a LOT of pain. I am so blessed to have no more pain, no more temperature...and may I give a special thank you to Dr Smith....who loves and supports animal rescue...and has such an authentic presence. Thank you. :-) read more

See all

Dr. Keippel is an absolutely amazing Endodontist. Highly skilled, with a calm, gentle, informative approach. He made sure I was comfortable from start to finish. I walked into the office in pain, and left well cared for and pain free by Dr. Keippel, and the friendly professional staff at the Oracle Southern Arizona Endodontics office. Thank you so much!!!!

Excellent care starting at front desk!! Tanesha is so helpful at desk as she checked on my insurance coverage with her caring warm attitude The assistant to the dentist was amazing as well. She placed a gentle hand on my shoulder as the drilling was happening!! The dentist answered all my questions as well and it was quick and painless Highly recommended by me‼‼ read more

Very up to date latest equipment and procedures Totally painless experience, went very quickly and easily Dr Keippel a true artist of dental surgery, with thoughtful responses, and a golden touch read more

Dr Keippel and his staff are wonderful and professional. They take steps to alleviate your concerns and fears. Explain what will be happening prior to starting the procedure and after. They followed up the next day to see how I was doing. I was able ti get an appointment quickly and have a root canal at the same appointment. Great office and friendly staff. read more

I was so impressed with my dentist. They got me in on an emergency appointment and I can't tell you how much that meant!

Southern Arizona Endodontics have been nothing but a nightmare experience for the last 6 months. Between rescheduling my appointments repeatedly without notice for 3 months straight, incorrectly scheduled my surgical appointment by a week on their end but provided me with appointment card with the accurate date and time that I had requested and then refused to correct their mistakes and accused me of lying despite being provided proof of their mistake. They also quadrupled my procedure cost because they incorrectly double charged my insurance causing me to have no balance despite having NEVER used the card and having had ZERO services performed. I was sitting in their office until 3:08pm waiting for my 2pm surgery because they "they couldn't confirm payment" despite me making a nearly $1,000 payment for anesthesia and providing proof of the charge from less than 48 hours prior. Additionally, they double charged my insurance prior to appointment date and as a result they are saying that I owe an additional $900 more than the already quadrupled amount before they'll start the procedure because they maxed out my otherwise unused insurance. I ended up having to report them for fraud to my insurance company due to their repeated charges for procedures I had never had conducted. They are not on top of anything and are extremely unreliable, the receptionist is nice and tried to correct within her control but the entire practice is unprofessional and unreliable and quite frankly reeks of fraud. I would literally rather take pliers and rip my own tooth out than allow any of them near my mouth because of how unreliable they are. read more

When moving to a new town & trying to find a specialist when you have an abscess on a post that is attached to a bridge & you drive over 1400 miles because no specialists in Washington can get you in, it's a very humbling & painful experience! Got in for a late afternoon appt, woman at front desk had zero personality, & first assistant had no bedside manner! My husband is a very gentle man filled with joy & in extreme pain from 8 days traveling by car with not one but 2 abscesses in his jaw bone. The 2nd assistant who helped & the Dr both were very nice, professional & helpful! Will need a couple more appt's with a periodontal specialist but they were able to relieve one abscess so the pain has subsided & let him get back to feeling better & getting ready for his new job! read more

Very accommodating in seeing us in a crisis brought on by a procedure that was put off too long. Staff was friendly and helpful while maintaining just the right amount of professionalism. Will never be a place that you want to go but when you need this sort of treatment, Dr Cross and his staff will be there for you so don't put it off. read more

Normally I only take the time to provide positive reviews, but this experience was horrible before I even got past the receptionist, Michele. She was so obnoxious, abrasive and rude, that it set the entire tone of the place. Upon sharing with the dental assistant, she seemed totally unconcerned, saying "I'll have a word with her". My fiancé and I were so put off by the vibe in that office that I decided to go elsewhere, making that call to Dr. Oscar Pena before even hitting the parking lot. I had seen Dr. Pena before and shouldn't have hesitated going back just because I was referred to So AZ Endo by a new dentist. My next review will be a 5 star rave review of Dr. Oscar Pena. Do yourself a favor and check him out ;) read more

Very professional and caring office. They helped me as an emergency patient and they went way above and beyond! I was in a lot of pain and they were very empathetic and compassionate. I highly recommend this office. You will be treated like you really matter. read more

First of all I am only giving this place one star because I am not able to put ZERO STARS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I went in to get an evaluation referred by my dentist for a root canal that did not work. I am bilingual, however I did prefer an interpreter in Spanish to be able to fully understand what was going on with my teeth and to know my treatment options. The interpreter was a young female, thin and tall with dark hair. She was incredibly rude and she made racial slurs. First, I was confused about the process and what the doctor was telling me, so I would ask questions to understand what decision I wanted to make regarding my treatment. The interpreter asked me "are you an engineer?" I answered "no, why?". She replied "well because you are acting like an engineer because you are asking so many questions and want to know everything". Second, i would also ask her for any professional recommendations about treatment and she replied "we cannot tell you what to do it is your own decision. I cant guarantee you it is going to help you because it is like a heart attack, you are never 100% sure". Third, her job was to INTERPRET between myself and the doctor. Instead multiple times i had to ask her to please relay what i was asking or saying to the doctor. Instead she refused to translate and instead would proceed to tell her own opinions. Lastly and THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON WHY YOU SHOULD NOT GO HERE. She made various racial slurs towards me, simply because I preferred Spanish rather than English. Please be aware that I was nervous throughout the appointment and was being polite the entire time. I asked politely and concerned that if I had the procedure done if I would be able to go to work the following day. She had the audacity to assume i cleaned houses. She said "well if you had a good desk job then yes you can, but if you are cleaning houses then no you will not be able to". The way that i was treated was simply grotesque. I left feeling disappointed, insulted, offended, and humiliated. Please do NOT go here, you will not feel reassured and you will not be treated professionally. What a shame that they would employ such a person with a lack of professionalism. Those that are hired at this place should be polite, educated, knowledgeable, and overall professional. read more

We had an emergency, and were sent here, they got us in within ONE HOUR! They got right to us, didn't have to sit in a room for hours after going back. The procedure could have gone two different ways, and they totally respected patient wishes, and did the one requested! They have a fridge in the waiting room, stocked with juice, water, sodas, all Coke products, my favorite. :) They also had cookies out to make waiting more pleasant, and restocked twice while I was there. (The cookies were good, what can I say) They were very nice from start to finish. I would highly recommend them! read more

Best root canal experience! No, that is not a joke. And yes, I have had at least six other root canals in my lifetime. The office staff is top notch. Professional and extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. David Burros is amazing. He explained everything and provided step-by-step information through the whole procedure. I was done in an hour. (My last root canal took not one, but three, visits and the total time over those three visits was seven and one half hours). Having been through several very unpleasant root canal procedures in my life, I can honestly say that I have never had such a positive and painless experience at an endodontics practice. read more

SAE saw me on very short notice as I was experiencing headaches due to an absess. In short order, Dr.Hauseman of SAE confirmed my referring dentist's diagnosis and then skillfully performed the root canal procedure that was necessary. I cannot be more pleased, impressed and grateful for the excellent treatment I received from Dr. Hauseman and his assistant-they are the best! Thank you! read more

Highly recommend Dr Funk and his team to be the one to perform your next root canal or any other invasive dental procedure.Exceptional Service from scheduling to leaving the office after my "pain free" root canal was completed. The office was very clean and odor free. I was in excruciating pain and the scheduler was not only empathetic, but also able to schedule me that same day! Dr Funk was kind, knowledgeable, but most of all gentil along with his assistant Joel. It was a week before Christmas and these two professionals stayed after hours to make sure I would be pain free during the holidays. Thank you so much and I hope you and your families have a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year! Kudos to all! Cheers read more

I came here for the care of a root canal. I've had them before and I wouldn't wish them on my worse enemy. But this is the first time that i actually felt comfortable getting one done. Dr. Funk made me feel so relaxed (no, i didn't get NO2) that i actually fell asleep. Everyone, from the receptionist to billing was welcoming and concerned for our wellbeing. They have a variety of drinks for free (but no, no brandy to take the edge away). And being able to have scenery on the ceiling instead of just tiles is a great touch. I genuinely didn't want to leave (but I'm not going to go around waiting for another RC, that's for sure!). In a nutshell, they're AWESOME!!!! read more

I highly recommend southern Arizona endodontics. I had a severely infected tooth and was in more pain than I had ever felt. I saw doctor Keippel on Monday of this week for an emergency root canal. By this morning the infection that I had before the root canal had gotten to the point of having a large abscess over my tooth. Very painful. He got me in right away today after I called within the hour! He was so kind and compassionate and so careful. Joel and Heidi over there were equally phenomenal with their kindness it means so much when you are in that much pain. I could not appreciate them more! Caring concerned and very professional thank you so much! Tess Mew read more

Had a lot of pain with my molar & needed a route canal. Was able to get same day appointment. I think I saw Dr. Smith. All of the staff were very nice. I was a little nervous that the route canal was going to be long, and painful (bad experience in the past), but it was the opposite. It was quick, and totally painless. Very happy everything went well. read more

I had a root canal done that didn't work since it still hurt afterward. After over a year and two follow-ups, Dr. Funk said he saw nothing wrong and walked out of the room. It cost me over $1000 to him and $200 more to have the tooth pulled (by another dentist). I believe he is qualified and all his people were very friendly but I was not satisfied with the outcome of the experience. He did not accomplish what he set out to do. read more

Another great experience at Southern Arizona Endodontics (Oracle). The front desk was awesome. They were able to get me a same day appointment. Dr. Burros was very thorough and explained what he was doing every step of the way. read more

I had a bad ache in a problem tooth. Apparently, my previous endodontist messed up the root canal... I was able to get a same-day appointment with Dr. Keippel. He was incredibly nice as well as methodical in my retreatment. He took a long time to make sure to do the best job possible. I would highly recommend him, although hopefully he wouldn't be offended if I say I'd like not to have to go back! read more

The first time I had a root canal done here it was fine, went smoothly, no problems. Imagine my surprise when this time I went to have a root canal retreated and the doctor was not only rude and passive aggressive, (kept saying it was a periodontal issue even though my regular dentist sent me back to them after seeing a periodontist), when he did the first numbing it made a sharp pain in my cheek that lasted several minutes and his reply was well that's why we tell you to open your mouth, very snide and rudely said, mind. My mouth was open, I have a small mouth. He was also rude about the fact that I couldn't fit the bite Block he wanted me to use without major discomfort and made sure to complain that he needed that space but he'd try to save the tooth. He drilled into my crown and they were spraying this disinfecting solution that smelled like straight bleach you would use to clean your bathroom, when I said I have a sensitivity to bleach and the smell was making me sick, he pulled off the dental dam, shoved a temporary into the hole he made in my crown and told me to get the tooth pulled or come back when I'm willing to do IV sedation. He proceeded to tell me that every dentist flushes the tooth with bleach during a root canal and that my others would've had the same. ( this was not said in a nice way, hello passive aggressiveness, and I'm sorry but what do they use on someone with a bleach allergy? I'm sure there are alternatives) he then proceeded to walk out of the room, didn't tell me anything about the temporary and they still charged me $100. I had to rush to my dentist and ask for another referral, luckily they can get me in today since I have no idea if this temporary fill will hold at all or if there's anything I need to do with it. NEVER again with this place. read more

A great thanks to Daniel B. Funk, DMD and Joel Colmenero, Dental Assistant who squeezed me in to their already busy schedule in order to do a root canal at a moments notice. I recently moved to Tucson from the San Francisco Bay Area, developed an infection in a capped but cracked molar and had to find a new dentist immediately. Dr Lee of Aspen Dental on Oracle Rd sent me up the street to have a root canal done within the hour. Both professional, kind and understanding resolved a problem that could have ended up badly if gone untreated. Their wonderful sense of humor was a great bonus! Again many thanks from a grateful and now pain free patient. read more

Best dental service I've ever had, and there have been lots. Heidi at reception with Joel Colmenero and Dr. Funk are a fabulous team. In every way, this is a wonderful professional practice. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Dan Funk and his staff. Joel, the dental assistant was very personable, and made me feel comfortable with the procedure. Dr. Funk and Joel both did an excellent job explaining to me what was going on with my tooth and let me take the time I needed to decide what to do. They made me laugh and feel at ease. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Well, for me, a trip to the endodontist office is never good news and this trip (an emergency) was no different. EXCEPT their professionalism, customer service, compassion, and empathy. My dentist (also amazing) got me in at the last second for an emergency visit and unfortunately I needed a root canal due to old trauma. The entire staff and Dr David Burros were so nice and gentle it made a bad situation tolerable. All I could keep thinking was, someone gave all of them IMMENSE customer service training and it paid off. From the greeting when you walk in to the hygienist who shakes your hand, introduces herself, and escorts you around the office (even the ladies room!) is 1st class all he way. I hope I never need them again, but recommend them all the way! read more

My office visit and appointment were amazing. From the office staff to the dental tech right up to Dr. Burros, everyone was friendly, efficient, and very thorough. I am an extremely anxious patient and they helped me relax and feel comfortable. I would and will highly recommend Southern Arizona Endodontics (Oracle). read more
