Amazing experience. Going for a root canal can be scary. Dr. Fathi and her staff were amazing. The office has a comfortable calming atmosphere, and every step was explained and they made sure I did not experience any pain during the procedure. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who needs endodontic care. I hope not to need them again , however I would go back if ever necessary.

I had my first root canal a few days ago and it was a surprisingly pleasant experience! I am always nervous going to the dentist, but everyone in the office was very comforting and reassuring. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Fathi constantly checked on me to make sure I was feeling okay. Dr. Fathi and her assistant, Greg, made the whole experience actually pleasant. Their conversation took my mind away from the procedure and before I knew it, I was done! I really appreciate Dr. Fathi's skill and professionalism, as well as her understanding and care for her patients.

I was a bit nervous having never had a root canal and hearing horror stories about the procedure. But, from the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome and comfortable by the entire staff. Dr. Fathi explained the procedure and what was happening along the way. Both Dr Fathi and her assistant were kind, gentle and focused on my comfort. Never thought I would say a root canal was a good experience, but it definitely was. Best dental experience ever!

Dr. Fathi and her staff were outstanding. I went to my dentist and an hour later I was having a root canal. Dr. Fathi was gentle and very caring during the process. I would definitely go back if I needed another root canal. Her office is very clean with all updated equipment. Day after procedure no pain in mouth.

I have never really enjoyed going to get any kind of work done on my teeth, even just a cleaning. Dr. Fathi changed the whole experience for me. Not only does she have an amazingly pleasant personality but she confidently explains everything to you. During my root canal she was constantly checking in with me to make sure I was doing okay since she knew I don't do well with procedures. I barley even felt the numbing shot! That was a first for me. Her and her assistant, Gregory held an entertaining conversation the whole time which was just what I needed to stay distracted. My overall experience at this office and with the doctor was the best I could've ever imagined. If I ever need anymore work done, I will happily come to Dr. Fathi again. I will also refer everyone I know.

Wow!!! What a great experience for having a root canal.I came in for my first ever root canal. From the front desk to Dr Fathi, everyone was wonderful. The procedure itself was painless and speedy, from walking in the door to exiting was less than 1.5 hours. I will also mention the office itself was like walking into a first class establishment.Although I hope to never have to see you again. But if ever needed I would 100% use you for my root canal needs.Thank for your helpMark

I am so terrified of the dentist office, so having to get a root canal was giving me so much anxiety. Dr. Fathi and her team made it such an easy and quick appointment. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this comfortable in a dentist chair before! The entire staff from the front desk to Doctor are incredible!! If any more work needs to be done this is the place to do it!! I highly, highly, highly recommended

If having a root-canal could be pleasant, this one was as pleasant as could be. Dr. Fahti worked quickly and gently--not a bad a experience. Both Dr. Fahti and her assistant were efficient and careful. It was, surprisingly, a good experience!

I can honestly say I had an enjoyable time at my first root canal by Dr. Fathi. She and her assistant Jennifer were friendly and kind, and funny, too. I had absolutely no pain, and walked out having had a pleasurable experience! To make a patient feel comfortable with such a procedure is a gift, and this office has it!

As the patient going in, I was very anxious but they made me super comfortable. Recommending I take melatonin to help my nerves. They were very gentle making me feel heard. Procedure went quickly and smoothly (root canal).

My husband just had his root canal treated last week . Dr. Fathi is an amazing doctor! She is professional and explains everything. My root canal was taken care of without issue and went very smoothly. Dr. Fathi and highly recommend her for anyone that needs a root canal treatment. Because she knew my husband had to travel for work soon , she came on her day off to take care of my root canal since he was in a lot of pain. Thank you Dr. Fathi.

I saw Dr Fathi for a root canal on my front tooth a few weeks ago, and what an amazing endodontist she is. She does an excellent job making you feel comfortable, explaining everything and it was painless as well. I was very nervous to see her since it was my front tooth. I had been living in pain for almost a year. My dentist confirmed that the tooth was not going to get better but could get worse and I could lose bone. I have veneers and I was afraid that my tooth would turn black. I have no pain whatsoever and am glad I found her. Also, her office is beautiful, and her assistant was wonderful too. I highly recommend Dr. Fathi if you ever need a root canal!

Dr. Fathi and her staff are very professional, kind and caring. Dr. Fathi is very friendly and puts your mind at ease. It was my first root canal and I had a superb experience. There was no pain during the procedure and hardly any pain after the numbness started wearing off. Truly a pleasant and fantastic experience!

I just completed a day ago a root canal treatment with Dr. Fathi, and there are not enough words to describe the exceptional care, professional procedure and attending to every details. Definitely the top experience in my family, and recommended to all patients. Dr. Fathi has this knack to be extremely good at what she does, and also having all the experience from start to end, painless, comfortable and yes....even enjoyable. Go only here for your root canal!

Dr. Fathi and her staff are very professional, comforting, and thorough. Everything was explained at the consultation and the root canal was performed completely without pain. I hope to never have another one of these again but if I do I will not hesitate to call Dr. Fathi. She is exceptional.

Dr. Fathi has a great demeanor as she performs her dental procedures. She’s compassionate, understanding, and has a great sense of humor …. just when you need it! I’ve been going to her practice for 14 years. I recommend Dr. Fathi for any root canal or advice you need on your teeth.

I called Dr Fathi for a root canal and she was able to get me in the next day due to a cancellation, I was a nervous wreck as this tooth had been causing me problems and much pain for years. Dr. Fathi could not have been more kind, friendly and funny! She put me at ease before beginning the procedure which went by rather quickly. I didn’t feel any discomfort during the process. Thank you for making this experience a little less intimidating!

My experience with Dr. Fathi was excellent!! My tooth had been in extreme pain prior to my root canal and of course no one looks forward to having such a procedure done, but I cannot express how pleasant of an experience it was!She is so friendly and I enjoyed talking with her before she began—it really puts your mind at ease when the person who is drilling into your tooth is nice and professional. Not to mention all of the people on her team that worked with me were nice as well.The procedure itself was great—truly! I didn’t feel a thing and they were quick. As to be expected, I felt a little pain as the numbing was fading, but here I am less than 24 hrs later and I feel no pain at all! I know not everyone will have to have a root canal or something of the sorts done, but I do wish everyone could experience this sort of level of 5 star service from Dr. Fathi and her team! 🤩

I’ve havent been treated with such care and professionalism since I can remember. The dentist office is my least favorite place but the doc and her staff made the whole experience painless. The place is clean and modern, I’ll be back and will be referring my friends and family.

My brother is a first class dentist so I know a highly professional practice when I see one. As a matter of fact my brother referred me to Dr Fathi for a root canal, and although I would obviously preferred not to be there for such a procedure, it could not have been handled better. I highly recommend this practice if your goal is to receive the best in top notch professional care.

Dr Fathi did a great job. I was nervous getting my root canal done as I had a bad experience with a previous dentist. She made me very comfortable and relaxed. Probably the easiest dental procedure I've every had.

I had a root canal earlier this summer and was so impressed with the care I received and my pain free outcome, that when my 87 year old mom also needed two root canals I immediately requested for Dr. Fathi. My mom's procedure was yesterday and today she is back to her normal energetic self and not complaining about any pain! Many thanks Dr, Fathi, Dr. Lee and her caring staff.

I loved meeting the staff this morning for my root canal. The office itself is beautiful upon walking in but the warm reception at the front desk immediately put me at ease. I was quickly shown to the “Venice” room to get settled in and I did at once. Dr. Faathi has really created a wonderful and relaxing space for her patients and has the skills to back it up! I was done in no time and felt safe and cared for the entire time. I am usually really good with names and right now I am forgetting, but the assistant was also lovely to talk to before the procedure got going. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Dr. Faathi and her staff!

The entire process from scheduling to the procedure to billing afterwards was painless. My husband and I could not have asked for a more comfortable experience. If you are searching for the root canal specialist of the bay area, look no further. Dr. Fathi and her team are THE best! We highly recommend Samaritan Endodontics.

Such a wonderful doctor and staff. The check-in, Dr. Fathi's explanation of the procedure and her staff are top-notch. The procedure took about an hour and during that time I was apprised of her progress. I would highly recommend this wonderful doctor to anyone who needs dental care.

Doctor Fathi is not only an amazing Dentist, but such a KIND soul. During my husband's root canal, she came out several times to let me know how he was doing and assured me that he all was going as planned. Her calm and personable manner immediately placed me at ease. My husband appreciated her follow up message the next day. Her human touch to dentistry is not readily found. She is a gem and I appreciate her taking such care of her patients.

Dr., Fathi was great. Highly recommended. She is obviously first rate technically -and was recommended by two excellent dentists I trust - and her office is impressively well equipped and comfortable. She and her assistant both took their time with me and were informative and personable. None of the "assembly line" approach to medicine here. I hope I don't have any more root canal type problems but if I do, I will return to Dr Fathi.

I have had two root canals completed here and found it to be easy to get an appointment with friendly and efficient service so I could return back to my daily return right after. I appreciate the follow-up call from the staff to ensure I am comfortable and everything is ok. I would definitely recommend this business and doctor to anyone.

Yesterday I had two root canals at the same time, something I had been trying to hold off on.Referred by my dentist to Samaritan Endodontics I was glad I made the decision to have it done. Dr.Fathi was very reassuring and did both just using shots to block the pain. Laughing gas was available but not needed. It was painless, fast and extremely efficient at dealing with tricky roots (plus an infection) She chats as she works and is super informative if you have an questions before or after. Today, a day later no after pain I feel great. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a root canal.

I had another root canal done by another doctor that did a great job a few years back. I needed another one a few weeks ago and was surprised that my dentist sent me to Dr. Fathi instead of the first Doctor. Well to my surprise, this was as Good as it Gets when you need a Root Canal! No Pain, No Time and No Pain Pills after! I never thought I would be saying I had a Great experience getting my Root Canal! But I did!! They were very Professional and Funny at the same time. I would recommend this Place to everyone I know. Thank You for the work you are doing!!
