Had my wisdom tooth removed here and as far as the procedure goes--flawless execution. The doctor had it out in under 10 minutes, no pain during the shots (just a minor pinch), and I'm healing well. Honestly, the skill level deserves a solid 5/5. That tooth didn't stand a chance. Special shoutout to Lambert (hope I got the name right)--he was the MVP of the visit. Super friendly, warm, and genuinely tried to make me feel comfortable. He brought a human touch to an otherwise clinical environment. Now, the front desk staff... polite, professional, but not particularly warm. I wasn't expecting a parade or confetti, but a little more energy or engagement would've gone a long way. I'd describe the vibe as "bologna sandwich with no condiments"--gets the job done, but not memorable. During the procedure, Lambert suddenly disappeared and a new assistant popped up with the suction tool. No intro, no "hi"--just started doing her thing. Not unfriendly, but the lack of acknowledgment was a little off-putting. She was nice enough when I left, though. The doctor (Dr.Taylor?) was efficient and clearly good at what he does--but his demeanor left something to be desired. He seemed visibly irritated when I initially flinched at the first shot. Pro tip: saying "time to get you numbed up" isn't the same as explaining what you're about to do. After that brief hiccup, everything went smoothly, but I wasn't really in the mood to make small talk after that. Biggest frustration? No clear aftercare guidance. I asked a question and was told to "check the paper." The sheet seemed generic--talked about stitches I didn't have and said I could eat anything once the numbness wore off. Thankfully, I had my own backup support (my AI chatbot) who walked me through it all. I had a 3 PM appointment and left around 4:30, which I expected due to wait times. No big deal. Overall: excellent technical care, a couple standout people (Lambert!), and some room for improvement in the communication and patient interaction department. If they ever train everyone to have Lambert's energy, it'll be a 5-star experience all around. read more

Dr McNamara and her assistant were more engaged in their conversation about dogs and the animal's inside "accidents" than they were with me sitting in the chair for my 2nd root canal. Bedisde manner was zilch. Work was questionable and apparently not done thoroughly since 6 months later the problem I was there for and was clearly visible was never resolved, necessitating a 3rd visit...but not to Valley Endodontics! Would NOT recommend. read more

January 2026 was when not only was I upcharge for a no covered 3d scan, that was of no help to the tooth in question since I needed an extraction anyway. Dr Taylor was brutal. Even after I advised him I was not numb he gave a 2nd injection but did not wait for the numbing to take effect before he ripped the molar out of my mouth. I was in tears with to care or concerns they ignored the obvious pain I was in. I will never use them again! read more

They were very unprofessional. I have a very important job and I took the day off and was told my appointment was at 12pm and I got there at a 11:30am. I waited and waited for over 2 hours and when I spoke to the office manager, I told her my appointment was at 12pm and she said you are wrong, its 12:30pm. Then she said I am not going back and forth with you. I left that office and was in so much pain..I will never go back to them and if you value your life, I would stay away. read more

I had oral surgery today with Dr Taylor carlton (carlton Taylor?) and had the worst experience ever. The nurse or hygienist doing my vitals etc, left three separate bruises on me. She took my BP six separate times in less than 15 minutes before the Dr came in. In spite of saying repeatedly that it was pinching? She finally adjusted it, and took it 3x back to back... literally watched her hit the button over and over. I work in healthcare and there is NO reason you need 3 BP readings in 3 minutes. I have 5 separate bruises on my arm. Before sedation started I asked to make sure that they were going to do the bone grafts so that I can get implant placed, they assured me that they'd bring a revised treatment plan in, but the dr came bustling in and said ok time for meds, and the next thing I know I'm waking up asking if they did the bone graft and they said NO..... so I left pretty upset (but too groggy to productively discuss).... Then I called after hours because once I woke up from my post procedure nap, I was getting myself situated to go pick up my rx's that I told would be ready when I finished. My son had MUCH less serious surgery at this place, and left with antibiotics, pain meds and rx strength Advil. (For the record, I wasn't asking for pain meds AT ALL). When I called the pharmacy they told me they had nothing for me. They did not ask me for an updated medical history (my one and only evaluation/consult with this office was in APRIL), which seems like gross negligence at best. In spite of explaining to the dr that I take medications that lowers my immune function (steroids), he insisted major oral surgery isn't reason to prescribe them. In spite of the fact that I need treatment for a tooth immediately in front of the site, but I wasn't able to get a referral to the regular dentist to have that performed at the same time. Even from general googling of whether or not this is standard practice, one of the things listed in every single google result said if you are prone to infections due to immune prohibiting medications that antibiotics is the safest way to go. I hope for my sake (as well as his!) that I don't develop an infection, and I am extremely upset that his office never put together the treatment plan to have the bone graft done, so now that impacts my body going forward. I shouldn't have expected more from a fratboy looking bro with a fauxhawk that couldn't actually get into med school. read more

‼MUST READ‼ Don't go here, go to el Rio. This place literally had me waiting over 2 1/2 hours past my appointment time to be seen, they claimed to have issues with getting my tooth extraction referral on four different occasions to the point where I got the referral from my dentist office and emailed it to Valley endodontics and oral surgery which oddly they still have problems finding it even though they're the ones that gave me their email address. I called in regards to another extraction referral that was submitted and the manager Karina Was extremely unprofessional she kept talking over me and she lied and said that I cursed and she lied and said I caught on 18 November and I cursed on the phone which is hilarious to me because November 18 I was having a major surgery done and then she wants to sit there and say that that's what she shows in the notes and I'm like well obviously it's a lie. She then said that she was going to tell my insurance that I was not allowed back to the dentist office and that she literally was going to tell them that it's because I complained about the wait time and that I'm not happy with the service. And then she told me that they're the only ones that accept access and that she was sending my insurance a note that I was being unenrolled as a patient and that I would have to go to Phoenix to get work done. but yeah, she wants to sit there and say that she's professional and that she has three girls that work for her and that they do the best that they can. I find it crazy how I'm a person of color and Said I can't return to the office yet there was a white man that was slamming doors and cursing Because it was taking them too long to call him back for his appointment but yet he still allowed to go there and they walked him back to get whatever dental work he needed. They don't do good work here, I had one tooth extracted a week ago, and my gums are still bleeding and I still feel the stitches and they Put the clamps that hold your mouth open so tight that my teeth are still in excruciating pain and I already took the medication that they gave me but I can't request for a refill because now whenever I call they hang up. read more

Dr. Taylor and Lambert performed the procedure I had last week and they took the time to explain everything, ensuring my comfortability. The entire staff was very friendly and professional! I felt super safe during, and more so after my appointment with the thorough post-op instructions Dr. Taylor and Lambert provided for me. Not to mention, the center is always spotless!! Thank you guys!! :) read more

The facility itself was nice and it was clean. Everyone was wearing a mask. Dr. Taylor made me feel comfortable. He was awesome in communicating the problems and solutions. The receptionist, the doctor, and the dental assistant were extremely professional. Make sure you understand your insurance and the payment options for your treatment plan. Posted everywhere was the notice about expecting payment at the time of service. Their treatment plan didn't take into account my insurance which was disappointing. I left feeling overwhelmed but took solace in the assistant telling me they will send me a letter detailing everything including taking my insurance into account. Well done!! read more

As a senior looking for an oral surgeon through the Medicare system, I spent four days on the phone calling offices, trying to find a surgeon who would accept my insurance. I had verified ahead of time that the procedure I needed is indeed covered. When I spoke with the front desk person at Valley Endodontics I was given the same message that I got from several other offices, that they would wait until two days before my scheduled appointment to call and verify my coverage -- no exceptions, even though I would be traveling a long distance to their office (no specialists in my rural area) and had a pressing need. This left me in the position of having to wait a month with a cracked implant in my jaw (think likelihood of infection) before being seen, with the potential that I would be denied at the last minute and have to begin all over again. In the process of trying to figure out how much the procedure would cost out of pocket, I got the billing code for the procedure, and was told flat out by Valley Endodontics that it was not covered by my insurance. Now armed with the exact billing code, I again called the company to verify. Once again I was assured that the exact procedure (and code) were covered. When I called Valley Endodontics again, the person I'd spoken with the day before didn't recall the conversation, and when I described it in detail, offered zero apology for the error. This was the 2nd office during my 4 day quest that gave me incorrect information, and I chose to work with a new office that was much friendlier, more helpful, and gave me clear and correct information up front, no wait. It is very difficult for a senior on Medicare to find an oral surgeon because they don't want to accept a somewhat smaller payment through insurance. This is a tragic disregard for the needs of seniors, many of whom cannot afford such procedures out of pocket. This is a sad state of affairs, like so much of the healthcare system in our country. read more

Great, I had a tooth pulled and the girl that was in the room with me was great I think her name was Alicia

Was removed from office 2 times because I didn't understand pay first. I have delta dental, aarp dental, and others was escorted from the office twice after being presented with bills before my service was even start. What gives? Most unprofessional office manager I have ever met. Still don't understand. Don't go there. I am 76 years old. Don't understand why that requires rude service. read more

Usually on voting day I said I prefer getting a root canal. Who knew today would be the day I was correct. The staff always courteous and professional. Think I got lucky that Dr Schuh would draw my number. Highly recommended. My ease and comfort were seen to. Need good dentistry ? These are the folk ya'll. read more

no no nononononononononono...no no no no no no no no no no no. no no nononononono. 2hours and counting, still have not seen me, 6 people gone ahead of me who came in after me. f this place!!!!!!!! read more

My daughter, 17 has had two very good experiences going to see Dr Taylor first, when she was 14 and this week at 17. The referral was not clear from her dentist, we got a second opinion and was scheduled in for the next day. She is on the mend. Very clear post op directions were given. The staff and surgeon were kind, patient and professional throughout. read more

This office is awful. The doctor (Sorenson)I dealt with was okay but the office staff is rude and always unhelpful. I paid $200 for a 3D X-ray for my daughter. The office never sent the X-ray to the referring orthodontist and no matter how many times I called to follow up, I could never get a copy. It was "too big" to put on a CD so it had to be emailed. It never was. The office manager Karina thinks meetings are more important than patients so never answers or returns phone calls. So now I'm out $200 and my daughter cannot get the treatment she needs from the orthodontist because they don't have the X-ray. But this bottom feeder corporation has $200 so they don't care. Go ANYWHERE else if you are ever referred here. read more

The doctor and staff are great. I highly recommend this office for your Endodontics and oral surgery needs. I have had years of subpar experiences with offices and lost faith that my teeth would ever be fixed. I had two teeth pulled and a root canal at this office and I can say without reservation that I received the best care. They made me feel like a star. read more

Referred by my dentist because I need two root canals. After making an appointment for 10:30, arrived and was told the appointment was pushed back to 11:00. Eleven came and went, without a word from reception (one was super nice, one was extremely rude). Finally seen around 11:50, only to be told I needed two root canals. Duh. No work actually done, but charged over $50 for them to tell me what my dentist already told me. Even with insurance, quoted an astronomical charge for the procedure, more than my spouse, myself and a few friends have ever been quoted. Will not be accepting another referral here. read more

I had an appointment scheduled for a consultation for late afternoon. After attempting to go to work and being sent home, I went directly to the office to see about moving up my appointment. At that time i was in a great deal of pain. Not only did they promptly attend to me but I was also able to have an emergency root canal within an hour of arriving. I cannot thank the office enough- I am very happy with the high level of professionalism and the treatment in which I received. read more

I needed my wisdom teeth pulled and they got me in the following week when I made my initial call. They followed up with an estimate on the cost and they gave an overestimate just in case, which was nice because my final bill was $70 less than what I was expecting. The staff was very friendly and comforting, which was important for me as that was my first time getting anesthesia. The anesthesia made the surgery feel like a blink, and the only pain I felt was the pinch of the IV needle. I highly recommend them based on the service, efficiency and how well the procedure went. read more

Dr. Amogh Velangi and staff were AMAZING taking care of my 15 yrs old daughter. She had to get her wisdom teeth taken out and was very scared. They made her feel safe and she and I both felt like she was in good hands. Had some questions and he was right there to answer them even after hours. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Velangi and his staff for you families needs:) read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I had a referral from my daughters pediatric office for an extraction. It took a month to get in and I left there more frustrated than I've ever been and they did nothing. They were rude and insulting (told me I couldn't afford the anesthesia for my daughter as if they know my financial situation) told me I was scheduled for a consult and not to get any work done (which was a lie, I had the consult already). They told me they had to put my daughter under and wouldn't do the extraction with local anesthesia because "i couldn't afford it" even though my insurance covers it. Then told me I couldn't be in the room with her (she's 8). That may very well be procedure but I didnt feel comfortable with her sedated and alone in there. I walked out and we called the other location that told me that my daughter never went to the other location because they couldn't see it in there records and then went on to say that I needed 2 referrals...one from her dentist and another one from my insurance company. I called my insurance company and they explained why that was a lie and then they called the dental office and squared it away. I call back to make the appointment and they said that the referral I had from my daughters dentist wasn't enough because it had the wrong logo on it. I will never go there again. I wish I hadn't wasted a whole month! read more

From calling & getting a same day consultation to getting a phone call the day after my extraction from the doctor, EVERYTHING was top notch!!! Dr Taylor was wonderful! Barely 48 hours after & I have no pain at all!!! A special thank you to the doctors assistant whom I had a death grip on as the injections went in!!!! Office staff are all caring. read more

I was referred to Valley Endodontics, and I'm so glad that I went there. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. I spoke with Gloria on the phone and she was able to get me an appointment quickly that worked with my schedule. The appearance of the office was clean and the waiting area was comfortable, but I didn't even sit there for 5 minutes and they took me back for treatment. I had a wonderful experience all the way around and I would highly recommend Valley Endodontics to anyone needing that kind of care. read more

Worst experience ever after I had got my teeth removed. I was just dismissed with a piece of paper and no guidance on how to take care of the teeth that was removed. Once I was finished the doctor who was removing my teeth didn't say a word just took off his gloves and left , the lady that was his assistant didn't show me or tell how to put the gauzes in my mouth which is a major problem knowing that this is my first time. the day of I had to pay for another X-ray out of my pocket which I was tricked to do just a scam it's in a good location but the employees and doctors there are horrible they basically gave me a piece of paper after my teeth removal and told me to kick rocks I don't know what there problem was but honestly the worst experience ever I wouldn't recommend this place to even a raccoon the employees in the front are great but once you enter the door to the back god bless you they got a race thing going on there or they just don't know how to do there job read more

Such a great place!!! With wonderful staff!!! I had a dental nightmare from previous work and Dr. James P. Sather fixed it!!! Recommend recommend recommend!!!! I am always so nervous going to the dentist but you don't need to be here. No pain and I felt completely comfortable! read more

Waited over 33 minutes after the time after my sisters appointment was supposed to start. They also don't allow anyone in the back with you while you're having surgery so if you like to hold someone's hand or you're anxious definitely not the place for you. The staff is pretty rude as well. I wouldn't recommend coming here at all unless it's your only option. Waiting over 30 minutes was annoying enough, but my sisters anxiety level was through the roof and they had no empathy. read more

NOT SAFE PEASE READ I got 4 wisdom teeth removed here with local anesthetic (10 huge shots deep in gums and roof of mouth) the surgeon walked in NO WARNING no explanation NOTHING just came in and started giving me shot after shot. It was EXTREMELY painful and I was squeezing the nurses hand to try to stay calm and still because they don't allow anyone in the room with you. After 4 or 5 shots I told the surgeon I needed a minute before we continued as I had just about reached my pain threshold, he stopped for 3 seconds then continued. I told him again and he started FORCING THE NEEDLE IN MY MOUTH i had to grab his wrist and hold it away from me and push his arm away. He got annoyed and said okay I will come back. Left the room for 1 and half minutes tops came back and completed the procedure. It was fast but very painful and they didn't tell me ANYTHING for aftercare just stuffed gauze in my mouth and sent me out the door. I am 19 if this was a younger person or someone with anxiety he would have severely traumatized someone. I was totally in shock I was just happy it was over with. It's now 2 days later and I realize how f***** up that was. read more

My friends, if you ever have to see an Oral Surgeon, STAY AWAY from this office! Bad services, staffs are rude, unprofessional, and defiant. They charged me $223 for only a consultation and an X-ray. In fact, they didn't want to go over the cost of services until I asked them! So I want to warn others to NOT go to this office!!! They don't deserve any star!! read more

My top wisdom teeth removal surgery was a huge success! I drove all the way from Vegas to come to this place based on the awesome reviews. I had both tops removed at the same time because I was born without bottoms (thankfully). Staff in the office were very friendly and had everything together. I was very nervous but the dental assistants were also extremely nice and helpful in answering questions. Only thing we had a problem with was getting my general anesthesia IV in which took 3 attempts; however, anatomically my veins are very tiny. Which is absolutely not their fault. I'm sure I said some crazy things afterwards from the concoction of drugs. Oh well! Overall, doctor and staff were lovely. It was a very easy surgery so don't be scared!!! read more

I also went in for a possible root canal. My first. After a quick paperwork, admission (i waited less than the time it took to fill out the paperwork) I went in for an x ray. After they determined that I did indeed need a root canal, It was over and done with in 45 minutes. Almost no pain. And good results. I was very impressed. Dr. Sather is a very nice young man also. I was afraid and he put me at ease read more

This is a wonderful facility with a great team! As someone who has needed very little dental work in my life, when it came time to need a root canal I was terrified. My husband has had work done here by Dr. Sather and told me he fell asleep in his chair a couple times. That seemed completely crazy to me until I had my root canal. I certainly did not fall asleep, but I could understand how someone could. I literally felt no pain and it was so quick and easy. I was of course relieved, but also quite impressed with Dr. Sather. Hopefully I won't need more work done, but if I do, I know where I'll be going! read more

ok we had the surgery and seemed to go well, we got home and bleeding did not seem to stop, and there is no emergency number to call for help. When i had mine some other place the surgeon called me at night to see how i was. not sure how much the care or are just a mill read more

Since I was a young child, I've experienced unpleasant, painful, dental visits and as a result, only make an appointment when it's absolutely necessary. I was referred to Dr. James Sather, DDS, for a root canal. This was the first time I can honestly say it was a pleasant experience. His assistant explained the procedure and walked me through each step. Both Dr. Sather and his assistant were gentle, ensured I was comfortable and completed the root canal quickly, efficiently and in a professional manner. I experienced no pain or discomfort. I won't hesitate to recommend them to family and friends and will return myself, if it is necessary for another procedure. read more

Dr. Taylor (Ina Rd. address) has excellent skills using his hands--giving shots, extractions, bone grafts, suturing. Fees were a little less than other dental surgeons, too. I would recommend him to all who want a highly professional experience. I am almost done with two teeth implants and will return if ever the need arises again. read more

Love these doctors!! Extremely kind and caring. Not to mention they do great work! And a follow up phone call helped tremendously. Thatnk you for caring! Dr. Taylor rocks! read more

Needed an emergency root canal. Everybody at this group was sympathetic and professional.

This is a review of Dr. Travis Sorensen who works at the Carondelet Drive office. I sent a 21-year-old family member here a month ago to have a wisdom tooth removed. After the procedure was done, he said the dentist was very professional, explained the procedure and reassured him it would be fast and painless... which it was. Yesterday, this family member was complaining about severe pain in two other areas and I called the office to see how soon he could have an appointment and they said "how about tomorrow morning?" You don't usually find it that easy to schedule an appointment. And so, it turns out he needed one additional wisdom tooth and two molars removed as those two molars could not be saved with a root canal. The patient arrived at 11:30AM, was prepped for the extractions (getting numbed) at 11:50AM and was all done and ready for an Uber ride back home at 12:20PM. So in less than an hour all this work was completed. Dr. Sorensen called me before beginning the work just to walk me through what he was planning to do and asking for my approval. And what really impressed me was that his office called me afterwards to say the extractions were fairly routine and went well. If I could give Dr. Sorensen more than five stars I would! read more

Regardless of how amazingly nice the staff was and how kind the dentist was, PLEASE DONT PROVIDE MISLEADING INFORMATION. I went to Aspen dental on Oracle to be told I need all my wisdom teeth removed. I can't even open my jaw the pain is so advance I take about 3 800 ibuprofens to take a SMALL edge off. I call them and the 1st thing that I said when I called was "Before we start a conversation I only have state insurance for emergency dental can you please help me or guide to someone who will take it." She said they do take it and to come in immediately to get assessed. I fill out the paperwork and I have high hopes of being taken care off and get some type of relief. Dentist came him I explained to him what was happening and this is what I was told "Your insurance haven't and will not pay me out for my services. Unfortunately no matter how bad we tell them you are they will not cover it. But your more than welcome to pay out of pocket and see if they will reimburse you. I'm sorry, but I can write a script for some antibiotics and best of luck to you.." What the fuck. I'm sorry but please update your staff so you don't bring people in insane amount of pain just to be turned away. You received a one star for the fact you didn't even try to to get in contact with my state insurance you just assumed. That's no way to treat someone. Don't mislead someone. You're just making someone's life much more difficult than it already is. read more

I hope I have the correct Endo office here, I had a terrible toothache and infection, Dr Sather recommended a Root Canal. I had the Root Canal and went on my way. By the time the novocaine wore off I was in so much pain, that I called Dr Sather. He was very helpful and prescribed antibiotics which did the trick. I actually called him twice as this pain went on for about 4 or 5 days. He even called me one day to make sure I was ok. I was very impressed with Dr Sather, and would recommend his Dental Practice. read more

I had a very bad toothache. I called Valley endodontics and oral surgery. Staff was very caring and supportive and was able to squeeze me in that same day. Honestly i was very nervous. I was seen by Dr.Sather excellent Dr. With very nice bedside matter and professional. Dr. Sather explained to me the procedure and made me feel confident and comfortable and i went ahead to have root canal. Root canal was painless and quick . I ask Dr. Sather if he can refer me to have my wisdom teeth extracted and his friendly staff was able to get me an appointment with oral surgeon...I highly recommend Valley endodontic and Oral surgery...Great service !!! read more
