"The doctor who saw me was great. Her assistant was excellent and they made the experience less traumatic than the crown procedure I had somewhere else that sent me there for a root canal in the first place. The only reason I took a star off is because when I called a few days later to ask something the receptionist was not helpful. I simply told her that I wanted to know what the doctor thought about my primary dentist seeing me 7 weeks after the root canal to permanently close it and I wanted to know if the doctor thought it was too long and if I needed to see someone else sooner than 7 weeks. "Look, all we say is that you have to see someone between 4-6 weeks after," that's all the receptionist said. And, she went on to repeat that. I was never told that specifically by anyone and I just wanted to know of whatever is on my tooth would hold until then. So, she repeated it once more. I kinda lost my patience and said thank you and hung up. I mean, can you write down what I said and simply ask the dentist and give me a call back? I would 100% go back there for treatment because the people who treated me were professionals, but this call was not great."

"I highly recommend Endodontic Associates. Even before I walked in the door Dr Yasmin Basseghi said hello to me. I didn't know she was the doctor who would be doing my root canal but it put me at ease. All the staff are great! Dr Yasmin Basseghi is an excellent Dr. I have had a lot of dental work done and I could tell she is one of the best. No pain during or after my root canal."

"I called for an emergency root canal. I love out of state and they got me in the next day and then called me back with a cancel to see if I wanted to come in sooner. From the time I walked in the door I was greeted and treated so nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Dr Yasmine Basseghi was so sweet and checked on me throughout my procedure making certain I was comfortable. All the staff are nice and friendly. I highly recommend this office!"
