This was my first (& hopefully last) root canal! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Anderson & his staff were phenomenal![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He & the staff made this alot less painful than it could've been! [[HIGHLIGHT]]He also explained everything thoroughly so I never felt out of the loop![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The procedure itself was honestly so smooth that I am no longer fearful of these damn root canals cause Dr. Anderson has got your back & knows what he's doing! read more

Dr. Anderson performed the root canal yesterday morning. This is my seventh root canal. I've had a couple done by my regular dentist, and the rest done by an old warhorse over the course of 10 years in his 70s who didn't want to retire. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The 30,000' view - totally positive experience - from initial telephone contact and information giving, to arrival and the procedure itself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dr. Anderson has a 3D imaging machine I'd not seen before. Now that was cool. But what impressed me the most was his ability to interpret the scans/images, ask questions, and arrive at a really pristine diagnosis. I'd had the normal intense pain from tooth #13, but had been unable to see my regular dentist for four days. By that time the pain had almost disappeared. The tooth causing the problems wasn't a problem any more. Still, it needed a root canal. I experienced no pain - a root canal these days is no different from my perspective as someone going through the procedure, than having a cavity filled. Dr. Anderson also discovered that the molar next to #13 was infected, but only enough that I was vaguely aware of a slight discomfort. That root canal was done by a regular dentist, not an endodontist. Unfortunately I'm going to need a reparative second root canal on that tooth. As an aside, last month my regular dentist had replaced an old crown with a new one on that tooth, and didn't catch the presence of an infection from the x-rays. Cudos to Dr. Anderson! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Like others have reported, I got a phone call this morning from Dr. Anderson asking about my recovery from the root canal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I realized I'd not thought about the root canal at all this morning and that was my story. read more

No one likes a root canal, but some are more pleasant than others. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson, for the following reasons. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The office staff were efficient and pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]..but most important, Dr. Anderson was stellar. He seemed genuinely concerned about my comfort level, and to his credit, it was a pain free procedure. The outcome has been excellent...it was obvious to me he was a true professional. read more

I was referred to this office by my dentist after explaining my severe sensitivity to hot/cold temperatures on a specific tooth. After some X-rays and sensitivity tests, I got a root canal done on a SEPARATE tooth (not the sensitive one) so obviously, it didn't help. To make matters worse, the procedure caused a debilitating ear infection where I had to call out of work due to the pain (couldn't talk, eat/drink anything) and there was nothing that Dr. Anderson did to help. I had to go to my primary physician to get a stronger kind of antibiotics prescribed, as well as pain medication. After two weeks, I went back to Dr. Anderson for a follow up appointment and explained again that I can't eat or drink anything hot or cold because it hurts and all he said was that two other teeth might need root canals done but that he feels skeptical about doing multiple in the same area. He followed that up by saying that he's not the Endodontist that I am looking for. Awful experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The one star is for the rest of the staff that were extremely friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but I will definitely not be returning for anything tooth related to Dr. Anderson. read more

Went to get a root canal done here on 8/1 and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the staff was so amazing everyone was so friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the doctor that did my root canal was so amazing and made sure I was very comfortable and made the a whole experience a 10/10 I would recommend anyone that needs a root canal to go here! read more

Thankfully never needed an Endodontist before this month. Being referred to Dr. Anderson when the need arose proved fortunate. I was treated by a skilled professional who performed my root canal efficiently and painlessly. Honest, this Doctor is really good!!! Shout out to his excellent support team. The helpful woman who handles front office responsibilities provides lots of information. If the need ever arose for another root canal, Dr. Anderson would be my choice. read more

Dr. Anderson and staff were better than could have ever hoped for. Normally feel like an idiot and a nuisance while receiving medical care, but not here. Dr. Anderson and staff explained everything calmly and clearly, did extremely skilled work, had great patience with my questions and then answered them clearly and completely. I cannot recommend them more highly. read more

In the last 3 weeks, I needed to have 3 root canals. Dr. Anderson and his staff made it almost a pleasure. They are kind, professional, and polite. The day after the procedures Dr. Anderson personally called me to inquire as to how I was doing. I recommend Wine Country Root Canal wholeheartedly. read more

I had a flawless experience with Dr Anderson and his team. Everyone one is courteous, professional, and operating at the top of their game. Dr Anderson's skill, expertise and dedication to the patient's experience are obvious and he has a gentle and kind chair-side manner. They made an experience that many people dread, a total pleasure. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I recently had to have a root canal done which I was dreading. Lucky for me, my family dentist (Mike Neal in Healdsburg - best dentist ever!) referred me to Dr. Craig Anderson at Wine Country Root Canal in Santa Rosa. It turned out that not only is he a skilled endodontist, but he and his whole staff are extremely nice people. I'll take "skill" over "nice" any day, but it's a giant bonus when you can get both! read more

I made an appointment to see dr Anderson today only to find out at my arrival he no longer works at this office. However the office continues to operate under his name and the front desk staff did not inform me of the doctor's departure at the time I made the appointment this morning. Instead, they tried to route me to another dr as if it was no big deal at all. This is wrong on SO many levels and should not be illegal. It is a complete disregard of patient's rights, time and medical situation. read more

I was referred to Dr. Craig Anderson by my dentist for an exam and x-ray. I called the office for a quote for an appointment and the office quoted me $265 for an exam and x-ray appointment. I was then charged $420 for a 10 min visit. I felt I was taken advantage of and decided to contact a few other offices to get a quote for the same type of visit and no one was near their outrageous price, others ranged from $125- $300. I feel I was price gouged and something should be done so this doesn't continue to happen. read more

Dr. Anderson is great! I found out yesterday from my regular dentist that I had to get a root canal, and my dentist recommended Dr. Anderson. I'm very lucky to have been sent to him and to have gotten an appointment today (after I called yesterday)! Wish he did other things other than root canals, I would love him as my regular dentist... but he is AMAZING at what he does and it shows in his work. I'm a HUGE dental chicken and the thought of a root canal drove me to tears. But from the second I stepped into the office and spoke with his dental assistant (I believe there are two), Judy, I knew I was in good hands. She is such a calm and relaxing presence, but she also keeps your spirits up when you're as nervous as I am. Once the x-rays & consult were done, Dr. Anderson got to work. He is very sensitive to his patient's pain and wants to make sure that you are completely comfortable and numb before he begins the actual procedure. He is very thorough and keeps you completely in the know the entire time. I opted to listen to a podcast and shut my eyes during the actual procedure, but you can do whatever makes you most at ease. He's an amazing endodontist and anyone who goes to him is extremely lucky since they are in such capable hands! This probably isn't as thorough of a review that he deserves, but I honestly need to get over the fact that I got a root canal before I can write any more. I hope I never have to get another root canal, but if I do... I will be coming back to Dr. Anderson! Dental Chickens rejoice, there is a endodontist who understands and goes above and beyond to make the experience as painless (literally and figuratively) as possible! read more

Unbelievably wonderful, caring, professional dentist and staff. My husband had a nightmare situation with a tooth and Dr. Anderson was a lifesaver. If you have an issue and need a root canal you will be in excellent hands with Dr. Anderson and can rest assured. read more

Dr. Anderson is a dentist, yes but he is an endodontist- which for me equates to a really scary dentist. However, Dr. Anderson is the opposite and so much more. My dentist, Dr. Aaron Schwartzman referred me to Dr. Anderson for root canals. Dr. Anderson not only is treating the root canals but also figured out that I clenched my teeth which were causing a lot of my tooth issues (it wasn't all candy to blame!) What I appreciate the most about Dr. Anderson is he meticulous, relentless, explains his process which eases the anxiety I associate with dental work. He's also highly masterful in his work, very professional, super nice and has a wonderful staff. read more

Wine Country Root Canal - good day for a root canal - Endodontists Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Called in a few months ago. Theyv'e got a ritzy mentality. Before getting my root canal I asked what type of methods they use. The nurse did not know and thought that I was questioning their quality of service. I still made a appointment with them. When I asked to reschedule two days later they said fine, but then quickly decided not to treat me at all because I cancelled within 48 hours. They were very unprofessional by not telling me any rules about rescheduling and then leaving me without an appointment. Stay away if you want good explanations from patient people. Otherwise, I hear the service is very good but very expensive. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Anderson and his staff. My seven year old broke off almost all of his front tooth yesterday at 5:15pm. I called his office - we were not even a patient of his - my dentist was unavailable - and even though they had already turned on their answering service when Dr. Anderson heard that it was a seven year old he stayed in the office to wait for us for an hour as we drove through traffic. He couldn't have been any kinder or gentler with my scared seven year old. We were fixed up and out of there two hours later. Tyler the front office manager was also so kind to my son saying how well he did, etc. I would send anyone to them they are amazing and I am forever grateful. Julia Caulder read more

Here's a summary of my review for all of us TL;DR types (full review follows): Dr. Anderson is not our dentist, but was referred to us when my 7 yr old knocked his front tooth out. He not only saw us immediately, but he reopened his office after hours to do so. We live in Santa Monica, meaning that we had to fight rush hour traffic at 6pm to even get there. So he and his staff, who had their coats on and were walking out the door, had to wait around for nearly an hour just so we could get to him. No one complained to us. Not only did Dr. Anderson did an amazing job repairing the tooth, he was masterful at treating our son. He treated him like an adult, with respect and sensitivity. He was not patronizing or condescending. He was wonderful. Go to him. ----Full Review----- Dr. Anderson is not our regular dentist. And that's so unfortunate, we should correct that. My seven-year-old fell down our patio stairs and broke his left front tooth in half diagonally. This was at about 5pm on a Monday. We called our regular dentist and she said to put the tooth we'd found into a small bag of milk to keep it moist and to give her a call the next day and maybe she'd see him on Wednesday, the first day she'd be back in the office (she doesn't work Monday or Tuesday). This didn't sit well with neither myself nor my wife, so my wife got to work and eventually was referred to Dr. Anderson. When she called his office it was closed (it was after 5:30p by this point). She left a message with his answering service and kept searching. A few minutes later his office called back and asked what was going on. After explaining the situation they said to bring our son in. Again, this was after the office was closed. Both he and his staff were getting ready to go home. Imagine the feeling you get when the work day is finished and you've turned off your computer, pushed your chair in, put on your jacket, and are ready to leave. No imagine someone saying, "Hey, we're going to hang around and work for a few more hours." But no one was anything except courteous to us. Once they heard a 7 yr old needed help, they responded with kindness and generosity, without acting like they were doing anything special. The feeling we got was, "Of course we'll help. That's what we do. We're just sorry this happened." Keep in mind that we live in Santa Monica and Dr. Anderson's office is in Century City and it was approaching 6pm on a monday. They all had to just wait around while my wife fought traffic to get to them. The care they provided was phenomenal. Dr. Anderson and his team repaired my son's tooth so that it looks like new. They didn't rush, and Dr. Anderson held to his high standards, making sure to do it as close to perfect as it could be. It honestly looks like it did before the accident and my son came home as happy as normally is. He even said the numbing shots didn't hurt. And one of the most impressive aspects of his treatment was that Dr. Anderson never spoke down to our son. He treated him with kindness and respect, in a manner that both comforted our son and made him feel very adult. When our son asked if the shots were going to hurt, Dr. Anderson answered honestly and with sympathy. Yes it will hurt, but it won't be for long. And throughout the procedure he explained everything he was doing. "I'm filing your tooth to smooth out this edge," "I'm going to use this bright light to help seal the bond," and so on. It's rare to find a professional who treats kids with this kind of respect and kindness. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson. read more

I am from Virginia and so I was very paranoid about seeing a out of town Endodontist. I have to tell you that I had a wonderful experience, no pain, no discomfort and very professional and smooth atmosphere. I would definitely come here again. Sweet.... read more

I recently saw Dr. Anderson for root canal. It was my first so I didn't know what to expect. He provided confidence and comfort. He took his time diagnosing the issue and then resolved it professionally and painlessly. His office was helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend. read more

A responsible professional whom you can trust.A doctor who treats patients with tooth pain has to be comforting and precise in his practice.He is compassionate and understanding. You can't do better. read more

If you need (or think you may need) a root canal, you're probably not very happy. In fact, you're probably stressed out, scared and may want to cry. Dr. Anderson, on top of being a technically skilled endodontist, really understands patients anxieties. He is extremely throrough, asks lots of questions and makes sure you feel comfortable. He was also available 24/7 via a messaging service in case I had any concerns. He also is great about following up after the fact. I came in wanting to bawl my eyes out, and left feeling totally at ease. As for technical capabilities, I had my original root canal botched my a general dentist. It was a complicated case, but Dr. Anderson was able to fix the previous work and I have had no problems since. I would strongly recommend going to a specialist (endodontist) rather than a general dentist if you need a root canal for this very reason. Root canals aren't fun, but they do serve an important purpose - saving your tooth! You will be in good hands with Dr. Anderson. read more

Like many people today I found Dr. Anderson by online reading all of his positive reviews. I had a problematic tooth that had been through two failed root canals by another dentist. Dr. Anderson listened to the history and was able to successfully redo the root canal and treat the infection. He was very skilled and focused while he worked and incredibly, I felt no pain when gave me the Novocaine shots or during the procedure. He also called me after the procedure to check in. The office staff Ruby and Kelly were both kind and professional and followed up with an email report of the procedure that included an x ray of the tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson for a root canal. read more

First class care from beginning to end. Dr Anderson is a pro - and he is surrounded by great caring staff that complement him. I had a problematic root canal job done - because the infection had spread into the jawbone by the time I saw him. He did the work with professionalism and empathy, explaining every step along the way. I got calls regularly to ensure I was doing OK and much TLC at every opportunity. read more

Exceptionally proficient. His a true professional. He did my root canal. Was painless and comfortable. He does fabulous work. Highly recommend him. read more

Being an Endodontist Dr Anderson deals with situations that your usual dentist doesn't handle so from the get go you know that the procedures he does are more involved and usually more painful than an ordinary dentist's visit. The whole staff at the office were professional and caring and Dr Anderson did his job quickly and expertly. I had a surgical procedure that ended with ten stitches and experienced absolutely no pain during or after the operation andI it healed well and quickly. I was certainly anxious before my first visit but after going to see Dr Anderson. I wouldn't hesitate coming back and if you need his services you shouldn't worry either. You will be in good hands read more

Dreaded a root canal like the plaque, but Dr. Anderson and his staff seriously made what would be considered an unpleasant experience almost pleasurable. I could not recommend him more! read more

My teeth are problematic unfortunately :( This time I had an especially troublesome tooth which my oral surgeon in Beverly Hills thought maybe had a fracture or an infection - he wanted to "save the tooth" - so he sent me to Dr. Anderson. Working with Dr. Anderson is a pleasure despite the nature of the situation. He is everything you would want when it comes to care - thorough in explanation, patient with your concerns, super gentle but efficient with the work. His staff are also attentive, helpful and sweet. The office validates your parking which is nice and makes parking effortless. The cost of the visit(s) is well worth the quality and confidence you will feel about the experience. I hope you never have angry teeth like me but if you have a problem I highly recommend you head here. read more

Dr. Anderson is a phenomenal specialist in endodontics. He's very knowledgeable and reputable. I have sent many many patients to him and I get great feedback, his procedures are painless, and his work is truly beautiful. If you are looking for a great Endodontist that cares about you and will take care of you-- he is your doctor! read more

I don't mind saying that at 60, I was a little nervous. Never had a root canal and never heard anything good about it. It didn't help that I had an infection on top of it. As nice as the office personnel were, I was still quite nervous when I sat down in the chair. They were reassuring, but that wasn't going to help my apprehension. Once the doctor got started, I had nothing but respect and admiration. I actually dozed off for a moment or two in the chair. I went to work afterward and never missed a beat nor did I have any residual pain. As great as a root canal could ever be, this was great! As I said, I have nothing but respect and admiration for Dr. Anderson and his nurses and office staff. Thank you read more

Dr. Anderson is an exceptional endodontist. I have never experienced such a high level of care in dentistry, until my first root canal. The way he practices dentistry should be the gold standard and template that all dental health professionals follow. He will speak to your doctors if necessary. His primary goal, is to ensure that his patients' are properly taken care of. Equally important, he cares deeply about his patients' health. He sees each patient as more than the root canal they need. If Dr. Anderson provided other dental service, he would be my #1 and only choice for all of my dental needs. If you need a root canal, I highly recommend you choose Dr. Anderson. Don't bother wasting your time or money on any other endodontist. His compassion and concern for his patients' health is unparalleled. I've said this before, but it's worth repeating, his prices are fair, and you won't begrudge a single cent you paid. Also, really important, I LOVE HIS STAFF. Every individual who works for Dr. Anderson is beyond kind, helpful and as compassionate as Dr.A. They are a huge reflection on the high level of care he's committed to. Plus, they're just so great! read more

Amazing service from beginning to end! Very kind staff and Dr. Anderson was as well. Took his time explaining the procedure and any/all concerns with me. The procedure was painless and he made sure to contact me before the end of the night to make sure of that. I had a great experience and highly recommend him. read more

Of course if always happens on a weekend or holiday. My toothache reached maximum level the day before Thanksgiving. Dr. Anderson took my phone call on the eve and again on Thanksgiving Day and gave me the best advice to calm the pain until I could make an emergency appointment the day after. His assistant, Judy, came to work on her day off to assist and I am so grateful to the team for performing the root canal and explaining the procedure thoroughly. Easy injections and operation. I hope that I never have to see him again LOL but if I need another one, he's the first person I'm going to call. Brilliant!! And the office space is nice appointed with great views of Beverly Hills. Thank you! read more

Dr Anderson is a knowledgeable, concerned and compassionate expert who will get to the bottom of your issue with excellent care, sensitivity and determination. He is at the top of his profession - if you are in need of an endodontist, it does not get better than Dr Anderson. read more

I have been to Dr. A twice now, and both times, he was very straightforward in his evaluation, precise in his work, and caring in the follow-up visits. His staff was also very kind. I hope I won't need any more root canals so hopefully there won't be any updates to my review! read more

Solid endodontist. Excellent technique, confident, good result. Fine "chairside" manner. Attentive followup. Century City location can be a hassle, but that's L.A. read more

Dr. Anderson is a rare find. Not only do you feel like you're in the hands of a master, while in his chair, but I have yet to meet another medical/dental professional with such a lovely bedside manner. The warm, compassionate way he communicates a propos the root canal procedure, is simply amazing. I never felt anxious or scared while in his care. I wish I could see Dr. Anderson for all my medical needs! read more

I can't recommend this office enough. My husband was in extreme pain after a filling came loose in one of his teeth and there was a sudden burst of cold and biting sensitivity. Our dentist fixed the filling and then referred us to Dr Anderson for a root canal in the adjacent tooth (which my husband thought was the source of the pain). Dr Anderson did extensive x-rays, bite tests, cold tests and my husband was surprised to discover that he wasn't having any pain from the tooth that we thought needed the root canal. Apparently all of his pain was from that lost filling which, once replaced, solved the problem. It is astounding and very gratifying to have found someone who put my husbands care above money. He could have easily done the root canal, made several thousand dollars and none of us would have been the wiser. Now we will be going back to Dr Anderson and always know that he's giving us the best care. Also - his staff and office could not have been more lovely and helpful. Highly recommended. read more

Setting aside the question of fee, since Century City/Beverly Hills office locations mean hefty fees, I'll leave that out of the equation. I went to see this endodontist on the basis of a referral from my own dentist, and had a nightmare experience. I am pretty stoic when it comes to pain, so when I say I was in AGONY, that is an understatement. All I wanted was relief from the pain. It was pretty obvious that I needed a root canal. All the other descriptions of Dr. Anderson as being sweet and patient, etc., are valid, but I didn't go there for a social encounter. I went there for the dreaded root canal. But I left without any procedure at all. Why? Because he "couldn't confirm" the diagnosis. What? Remember the old adage that if it waddles and quacks, it's probably a duck? So, Dr. Patience and Sweetness squirted HOT COFFEE into my mouth because he wanted to replicate the experience I described. I kept asking what the alternate explanation might be, and he said there is no alternate explanation, that I had all the signs of needing a root canal. Yet, he wanted to wait. Wait for what? I had been close to tears when I arrived, and barely made it to my car before bursting into tears of frustration and pain. Did I mention that I am a stoic when it comes to pain? Well, ditto when it comes to crying. Crying is NOT my default emotion. I sat in my car at nearly 5:00 PM and randomly phoned endodontists in the Beverly Hills area, and to my amazement I found one who said, "come right over." I don't want this to seem like an ad for another endodontist, so I won't say the name, but when I left his office at 6:30 PM, I had my root canal and have been pain-free ever since. Did I have a root canal that I didn't need? I doubt it. The duck is no longer quacking. Never will I set foot in that office again. read more

Dr. Anderson has successfully performed 3 root canals over the past five years. He is professional, compassionate and thankfully no surprises! read more
