Great experience here. I was going to die from tooth pain and they got me scheduled day of. Got a root canal from Dr. Ahn. He was an excellent endodontist and did the root canal comfortably. It took two days to finish. He was professional, highly skilled, and comforting. Great experience.

Went in for severe tooth pain as a dental emergency. Paid 120 dollars to be seen and found out I had a severe infection. I was sent over to the endodontist quickly who went over everything, was honest, and operated on my infected tooth quickly. They even called my insurance and I was surprised a lot of the procedure was covered. I feel so much better and the people are so kind there. Would recommend 👌 👍 They are honest and helpful. They explain everything in detail.

Dr. Lipner is thoughtful and thorough, always considering all possibilities within his specialty. He explained everything patiently and clearly. I had a root canal done 18 months ago—his work was clean and completely painless. In fact, it was so neat that my general dentist even asked who had done it. What makes me trust this office even more is Michelle, the office manager. She is exceptionally friendly and helpful. I travel across state lines to come here, and it’s absolutely worth the trip.

I needed a consult re if I needed a root canal. Dr. Ahn reviewed my X-rays and examined the problematic tooth and said that he didn't think that was what I needed and recommended that I consult a periodontist. He was nice, answered my questions. I arrived early and he saw me early, which I certainly didn't expect. The office is nicely appointed; the staff, courteous. The only thing that gave me pause was how tedious and time consuming it was to fill out the online forms before my visit. That's the case at most, but not all, medical practices in my experience. I recommend this practice.

Root canals with Dr Ahn have been the most comfortable experience at a dentist I’ve had in my life. I had 2 misdiagnoses of tooth pain from my regular dentists and Dr. Ahn diagnosed and fixed them both right away. The experience of getting an appointment and transparency with pricing was very smooth. Highly recommend this practice!
