I had to see Dr. Patel for an emergency root canal yesterday, and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. I was in a lot of pain when I arrived, and he took the time to explain everything, made me feel comfortable, and got started right away to relieve the pain. The procedure was much easier than I expected, and his professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. The entire staff was friendly, caring, and made the experience as stress-free as possible. If you're nervous about needing a root canal or looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients, I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his team. Thank you for taking such great care of me! read more

I was in and out for an emergency root canal in less than 2 hours from when my dentist referred me to Dr Patel.

Dr. Patel and his staff are an efficient and organized team. I felt very blessed to have Dr. Patel work on my teeth in 2024. This year, my 17-year-old granddaughter urgently needed a root canal before heading off to college. Our schedule was very limited, and she didn't have insurance. Because Dr. Patel does such a detailed and precise job, I was more than happy to pay out of pocket.The staff managed to call us in much sooner than expected; they truly take their job of helping patients seriously. Dr. Patel did an excellent job on her root canal, and she felt absolutely no fear. His bedside manner is top-tier. He has a very calm presence, explains everything thoroughly, and walks you through the procedure as he is doing it. Because she had an infection, he completed the procedure in two steps over the course of just one week. On top of that, my granddaughter had a chipped tooth on that same tooth. Knowing she was leaving that very evening, Dr. Patel and his staff went above and beyond. Dr Patel said, "You're going to college," he truly wanted her to get it fixed--which was so empathetic and considerate. He even contacted a dentist friend of his to fit her in on this day af completing her root canal. His staff coordinated with the other dental office while Dr. Patel was finishing up the root canal. I completed the forms via text, and we headed straight to the other dentist afterward, where we were in and out within 30 minutes. Because of their incredible work ethic and patient care, my granddaughter was all set and got her chipped tooth fixed as well. We made it home 2 hours prior to leaving to the airport. Thank goodness for efficiency, care and consideration. Dr. Patel and his staff provide the best service ever. Dr. Patel is beyond comparison. Highly recommended! read more

I have been in to see Dr. Patel twice for root canal procedure and he does an amazing job explaining what he is doing. His office staff is welcoming, courteous and professional, and I would recommend his office to anyone. read more

Was skeptical about a root canal but Dr. Patel answered all of my questions before I had to ask them. I was warned about swelling and discomfort for the next few days but I experienced none of it. Amazing work by Dr. Patel. Five stars read more

Dr. Tushar B Patel at ARROW ENDODONTICS did an outstanding root canal on my tooth. I did not feel any pain at all during my root canal procedure. I didn't even feel the shot he gave me for numbing or any of the procedures he did. I had a pain free experience during and after my appointment. Dr. Patel talked me through the procedure and made sure I was ok during the procedure. Dr. Patel is a pleasant Doctor and he made me feel completely comfortable and calm. I had a very enjoyable visit. He's very gentle and very thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Patel for anyone at any age for a root canal! I was taken care of so well from the moment I walked in. I was very pleased with his office staff and the office atmosphere. Thank you Dr. Patel and Staff for an outstanding experience and care. You get 10 stars for going above and beyond in your expertise and care. read more

Everyone in office was great. Especially Mary. I had a root canal done. Dr Patel explained procedure well. I was given a treatment plan which covered what my insurance would pay and my balance. Highly recommend. read more

I'm so grateful for Dr Patel. I came in with an infection below my root canal that was not visible in any x-ray but was very painful. My dentist finally sent me here to have a specialist look at it. Dr Patel took a 3D scan and discovered that I had a severe deep infection and extensive bone loss already. He was sensitive and honest with me. He was going to do everything he could to save my tooth but it was not guaranteed. I am also terrified of the dentist and he was super gentle and walked me thievery step of the way. I came back for my follow up today 4 months later, and he saved my tooth!!!! No infection and my bone grew back!!! I'm very grateful and would highly recommend Dr Patel. read more

See all

I had a very disappointing experience with this endodontics office, mostly due to poor customer service and communication. First, my interaction with the receptionist, Maria, was frustrating. She was short on the phone, repeatedly talked over me, and came across as rude and dismissive. It felt like I was an inconvenience rather than a patient trying to be proactive. Things didn't improve once we arrived. Instead of discussing the treatment plan with me--the adult accompanying my 16-year-old son--Dr. Patel directed the conversation primarily toward my son, which I found inappropriate and unprofessional. As a parent, I expect to be fully included in medical decisions involving my child. There was also confusion and inconsistency regarding insurance. When I initially provided my insurance information, I was told certain procedures wouldn't be covered. Later, when my husband mentioned his insurance, Maria suddenly changed her tone and said, "Oh, I should have known that, that's much better." The lack of clarity and professionalism in handling insurance was concerning. Overall, the atmosphere of the office was not welcoming or comforting. While I might have been able to overlook a rude front desk interaction, the experience with Dr. Patel left a lasting negative impression. If I'm made to feel like an inconvenience as a patient, I'd much rather take my business elsewhere--and that's exactly what I plan to do. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Patel for any endodontic work. His demeanor and patience in explaining the treatment, the time and what to expect was appreciated. I had a root canal and left the office not feeling any pain. The office assistants and other staff were equally attentive and helpful. read more

Who would have thought a root canal could be so easy. Zero pain. read more

Dr. Patel and his staff are amazing. What a wonderful experience. Thank you to all of them for doing their best and making this a wonderful vacation with no pain. read more

Dr. Patel performed my root canal and completely relieved my pain. Despite complications with the tooth's anatomy, he kept me informed and comfortable the entire time. He did such an excellent job that my dentist and hygienists later complimented his work after reviewing my X-rays! Thank you Dr. Patel read more

Was scared to get my first root canal after hearing horror stories. Everyone in the office was friendly. The doctor was really nice and reassuring. The procedure went really well. It was very quick. I did not have to wait long at all. He only worked on me. He listened to all of my concerns and I had an amazing outcome almost no pain only alil soreness the night of.

Beyond grateful to find such a wonderful Dr and staff to work on my teeth. I have major anxiety when it comes to root canal's or any sort dental work. Dr Patel and his staff were extremely kind and patient with me and took the time to help me feel at ease during my root canal. I felt zero pain and the process was much easier than I had anticipated. I am so thankful to have found such a great place with people I can trust and who genuinely care. Thank you to Dr. Patel and his wonderful staff! They even called me the day after to check and see how I was doing, this place should be 10 stars! Arrow Endodontics is now stuck me with as a life long patient lol Thank you again for being so patient and understanding with my anxiety ridden self lol read more

Dr. Patel went above and beyond to help me with my unknown tooth problem. The day before, I went to my dentist and they were not sure what was wrong. They took x-rays and said, I would have to come back in two weeks for a possible a root canal or they could replace my crown now, but they were not sure if that was it. It was later found out to be a root canal. I walked in without an appointment on July 3, to Endodontist Dr. Patel and luckily enough, he made time to help me with my pain and discomfort. I returned two weeks later and he finished my root canal. I can count on one hand how many times, I've been to the dentist in the past 20 years because of being afraid of Dentist and the sounds. Dr. Patel made this very comforting and explained everything, as he went about the procedure. Highly recommended. read more

I wanted to say thank you Dr. Patel and staff! I was so nervous on having my root canal done, and Dr. Patel explained everything and was so professional and had excellent bedside manner! Staff also made me feel comfortable and eased my nerves. I appreciate everyone being so respectful and kind: I have also been working in the healthcare industry and it's so refreshing to meet others who take the time to explain procedures to patients and answer all their questions. Dr. Patel took me on the same day when I was experiencing my tooth pain and everyone accommodated me to get me in right away to help and after having the root canal it feels so much better! Thank you so much! read more

Best experience I've had for a root canal. I have been a dental assistant for almost 40 years and have had 6 or 7 root canals done before. He is the 4th endodontist that I have seen over the years. I have seen his work clinically on my patients, who have all had a good experience and I have seen his work on an x-ray/in the mouth. So when it was necessary to get yet one more root canal I decided to give him a try since I heard and saw good things. Parking is easy. His staff are polite and helpful. The office is modern and clean. The equipment is very high tech including but not limited to a microscope that hangs from the ceiling and a laser. His bedside manner is calming and informative. I had no pain during the procedure. He explained what to expect after the treatment. My tooth one day later has no issues. I would highly recommend him to any family member or friend. read more

Dr. Patel is nothing short of amazing. So kind and caring, he is the only dentist I would trust to do a root canal on me. Remember those? The feared root canel is no more thanks to Dr. Patel. His quality of care is second to none. The wonderful people who run his office echo the type of care you will receive from Dr. Patel. The entire operation is first rate all the way!! read more

I came in for a root canal. His office is Very Clean and updated. All the best equipment. Very friendly and caring staff. Dr. Patel has a very calm and soothing demeanor. Felt comfortable with him immediately. The procedure was quick and pain free. I wish he was a regular dentist. I'd go to him in a split second. read more

Poor customer service from Elizabeth and Mary or Maria-rude and uncaring -Maria or Mary is a money gal. Only cares about building a treatment plan that maximizes profit. She is gruff and rude. She doesn't have a service commitment to patients- she reminds me of an old gruff Western dental treatment coordinator in the hood. Elizabeth is lazy The dentist is exceptional! read more

Absolutely amazing experience. Dr Patel did a wonderful job with my root canal. The duration of my specific appointment was exactly what they said it would be, 1 1/2 hours. It was painless. He and his staff were very thorough. I felt very relaxed and calm during my whole appointment and I am definitely the type of person to have a panic attack for a cleaning. This was my first ever root canal and I was extremely surprised with how well I did during the appointment, as I usually panic but he did a wonderful job. He walked me through what he was doing and gave me warnings if I would feel pressure or if a tool would be too loud. I wore my headphones with my appointment, which I recommend. I also felt almost little to no pain afterwards. I had my appointment on a Friday and cleared my whole weekend to feel pain and discomfort and i would say, on a scale of 1-10, my pain/ discomfort was maybe at a 2.5 and honestly, that's grasping at straws. Is it strange that I would recommend a root canal? I'm no dentist, so I am not sure if they are recommended if you don't need one but I would definitely recommend Dr. Patel if you find out one is needed. I can't stop raving about my wonderful experience and I thought my thoughts and experience would help others in the future decide to come here. Offices were very clean and parking was no issue. They let me know ahead of time if the estimated of cost and deposit, which was only $50, to hold the appointment & was applied to the overall appointment. Staff were very friendly. The office looks like a spa, which I personally didn't mind, as I don't get that medical office feeling. 10 out of 10. Two thumbs up, 5 stars, would highly recommend. Best dental experience ever! Thank you again Dr. Patel! Almost a week later and all is going well. Yay! read more

Unfortunately,,, I have to give this place a bad review..... "and I hate giving bad reviews! " I was referred to this specialist for a issue I was having with one of my teeth. The doctor spent about ten minutes with me, took one x-ray and didn't even bother to say goodbye when he left the room .... After that The receptionist comes in and without asking how I was feeling,,, and just started talking about financing my payments..... I have really great insurance since I work for a law firm .... I already checked with them and I know what they cover.. the receptionist said that my insurance only covered about 1/4 of the payment.... (That was a complete lie!!! ) And wanted me to pay out of pocket.... Also, the most important thing is the doctor ///Let me put it to you like this. He Mis-diagnosed me he didn't even examine the correct tooth. I went to a different specialist and he spent about a hour checking me and took about 20 x-rays , and he put me in a special machine to check all of my teeth and then told me that the tooth where I was filling pain wasn't even the tooth that had the problem! . It was actually a tooth that was right next to it... but since I felt so much pain, I couldn't tell .... so if I would've gone with this person , this so-called specialist he would've worked on the wrong tooth .... Scary!!!! So wrong..... talk about a bad experience. It was completely disappointing. read more

When I called to discuss an appointment, the team was understanding to my situation and time constraints. They fit me without delay. Dr Patel listens, is patient and professional. In the end I left with a "let's wait and see how things go" instead of an unnecessary procedure. I appreciated the conservative approach when it comes to my teeth. read more

I cannot thank Dr. Patel and his staff enough. I had a very traumatic dental experience growing up that led to me unnecessarily getting a crown on my front tooth. I have since then been traumatized of something happening to my crown and going to the dentist. Unfortunately I had an accident and it required getting a root canal on said tooth. I had Elizabeth help me with making a consultation and an appt the following day. She was so incredibly nice and understanding. This is all during the holiday season too so you know it's busy. The doctor was so thorough and understanding of all my anxiety. He did an incredible job. Thank you soooo much to all those that helped me through my root canal process (Dr. Patel, Elizabeth, Liz, and Kelly)! read more

I recommend Dr Patel and his team to anyone that needs a root canal. His front office team is spot on with their reminders, consultations, and billing. Dr Patel and his dental assistants are fantastic. They explain what they are going to do and check on you during the process. Post surgery directions are explained very well and thorough. 10 stars for this team!!!! read more

I really appreciate the fact that they were able to do my root canal on short notice. I think the doctor and staff are excellent and very professional. they did a great job fixing my tooth and getting rid of the pain. I appreciate the follow up call to check on my tooth. Great job read more

Dr. Patel is the quintessential dentist: gentle, professional, and highly skilled in practice and in communicating with his patients. He performed a successful root canal six months ago during my first visit. Today he talked through both images to compare, showing the absence of infection and the growth of new bone in its place. His office staff are kind and professional, and the waiting area is peaceful, which matters to me because I can be anxious about dental visits. Before my appointment with Dr. Patel, I was seen by an endo at a not-so-peaceful office. Both tele and radio were loud and felt like an assault on the senses. I didn't go back for the procedure, in fact, I opted out of part of that initial visit and saved a few hundred dollars. I strongly recommend Dr. Patel. read more

Thank goodness I found Dr. Patel on Yelp! Believe it or not, I have never been to a Endodontist and have been going to general dentists my whole life. A few weeks back, I was in extreme pain due to an infection, so my general dentist gave me antibiotics and told me to seek out a Endodontist to take a look what may be causing my infection. After a week of antibiotics three times a day the swelling and pain went away little but little. Today, Dr. Patel redid a root canal that another dentist had previously done. Perhaps it is because I have never been to an Endodontist, but the type of technology he used was something I have never seen before and so were the neat contraptions that they used to isolate my tooth. You can tell he put a lot of thought into his practice and what would make patients most comfortable. I was most amazed by the laser treatment that helps with removing the infection; how neat! I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his team. Not only did he successfully redo my root canal, he was also able to save my crown! I am amazed how much work he was able to get done just by drilling a small hole through my crown to fix a root canal another dentist previously did. His very kind, patient, and thorough approach makes patients feel at ease. Not to mention, you do not need to fill out pages of patient forms, they do everything for you while you wait to be seen by the doctor. Thank you again, Dr. Patel and team for the great patient experience! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

Not used to calling a dental visit, wonderful, but it was the best experience I've ever had in a dental chair. Dr. Patel is so thorough, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. He eased my anxiety immediately. My root canal progress easily and I had zero pain! I would highly recommend him, especially to those that have anxiety. A root canal is not a pleasant procedure to think about, but faced with another, Dr. Patel will be my first and last call to make. Very grateful to my regular dentist referring me to him. His staff is friendly and efficient. The office is clean, modern and welcoming. read more

Thanks, Doc. read more

Dr. Patel is the most comprehensive, knowledgable, skilled, and compassionate specialist that I have ever had the privilege of being evaluated by. He never makes you feel ashamed by the dental work that you need to have done. He always goes above and beyond to explain, in detail, the treatment plan that is required. He works with your financial situation, and most importantly he is transparent about the work that you actually need to have done. If a procedure is not required, he will not try to "sell" you a service, like many dental offices do. The office staff are kind, professional, and responsive to patient needs. I drive a great distance to come to this facility because I know I always receive quality care. I have referred many family and friends here, and they all feel the same about this team. We are very grateful for Dr. Patel and his team! read more

I was referred to Dr. Patel from my general dentist and it has been one of the best dental experiences I've had. Dr. Patel is very caring and knowledgeable. He walks you through every step of the process and what treatment plan was best fitting for me. The office is beautiful and the front desk ladies are very welcoming and sweet. They definitely go the extra mile for you and don't view you as just another number. Would definitely recommend this endodontist to my family and friends!! read more

Dr. Patel was referred to me by my regular Dentist to perform a root canal operation on a badly infected tooth. I was very anxious about this surgery, having heard for years how painful it was. We met for a consultation and preliminary exam, and I was instantly impressed with Dr. Patel's calm demeanor, extensive knowledge and confident assurance that he would make the experience as painless and smooth as possible. I had the operation today and he lived up to his word. I highly recommend him for his care, knowledge and skill. You can trust Dr. Patel. read more

I was just there with my granddaughter for a root canal. I stood there when he told her to raise her hand if she felt pain. I left the room thinking she be ok. When we drove home she mentioned that he did not stop when she raised her hand to stop and she started to cry and he didn't stop. I don't like that and I hope everyone will not go to him! I'm so dissatisfied with him . How dare him treat her like that . Also he was rude with his aides. I'm going to report him because she deserves a apology and he left her traumatized!! Not good mr Patel!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't know who u just pissed off!! read more

I had so many tell me that my root canal would be painful and uncomfortable and it was nothing close to that. Dr. Patel worked quickly and I was comfortable the entire time. His staff was also very friendly a I would highly recommend his office to anyone. read more

Dr. Patel and his staff were very helpful. I had been referred from my dentist to have a root canal redone. When I got my 3D scan he reviewed the photos with me and explained what the issues were. I appreciated that he really tries to explain what is going on and he checked on me multiple times throughout the procedure. During the procedure he even said "I'm going to be filling in the canal now" and other statements so I knew what was going on the entire time. I am glad I was referred here because he was thorough, nice , and efficient. The root canal took two hours like he said it would. read more
