RootVision Endo

I had the best dental experience at root vision in Glendale. Like many people I am terrified of the dentist but this place changed my perspective from the friendliness at the front desk to the exceptional dental assistant Gina who let me know the process of everything going on. She literally held my had and assured me everything will be ok. Dr. Nghiem did a fantastic job I didn’t feel anything. It is expensive but you get what you pay for.

I was referred to Rootvision Endo’s Glendale location twice by my dentist, and in both cases I was treated with respect, x-​rayed, and examined carefully, and in neither case was a root canal prescribed… because it wasn’t needed. In this crazy world, not everyone or every organization is honest and ethical. I’m sure there are dentists and endodontists out there who would have been happy to take my money and do the root canals. But the Rootvision team did not. They did the right thing instead. I appreciate and applaud that.

Well I’m a month late, but it’s better late than never! No one is ever looking forward to a root canal, and I seriously hate going to the dentist… BUT some things just need to get done. I got misdiagnosed by my general practitioner (won’t give any names, trying to be positive here) who told me «I didn’t have a cavity, you’re just being a baby,» when I told her my tooth was sensitive back in July. Once I got back from a business trip, the pain started shooting up in my HEAD! I needed a second opinion, and surprise surprise I wasn’t crazy… come to find out, the nerve got inflamed and it was «irreversible Palpatis»…any ways that news sucked, BUT I found RootVision Endo suprisingly that was in my Blue Sheild of California network… and they DIDN’T SUCK!
The look of the place was modern and not what you would expect from an in network practitioner. The front desk girls hot (hey it counts for some), super nice and professional! Dr. Quan Nghiem and his fun assistant Gina made a normally horrific experience, as painless as possible. Most dentist numb you and 5 min. later they are trying to be all in your mouth, and I’m like I FREAKING FEEL THAT but they took the time to make sure I could feel a damn thing… so good! They even let me listen to my music so I didn’t have to here that terrible noise while the dig in my face.
Welp that’s all I have to say… if you have Blue Shield and need a root canal, now you know where to go :)

Root Vision Endo did a fantastic job! First and foremost I would like to recognize Gina for making us feel very welcomed and comfortable considering our trip for a serious ROOT CANAL! Gina was more than exceptional with her customer service and we highly recommend her and Dr. Nghiem! Dr. Nghiem was very careful as he prepared us for what to expect while performing the root canal. Lastly, but definitely not least, Jennifer Ha at the front counter was awesome! Her and her great front desk staff were very helpful in assisting with our last minute emergency situation. All of them made our visit very special!

Monica and Dr. Annie were so amazing and through when I came in for an emergency dental visit! I would recommend it for everyone! Got me in and examined in a short time and were very helpful through my entire process! Thank you guys!

Where is the 1 Million Star button? Because I would use it for them!!!
I’m being serious, there aren’t enough stars to tell you how great they were when I had to get 2 root-​canals done the same day.
It’s been an on-​going thing in my family how terrified I am/​was of root-​canals.
I had a jaw surgery many years ago and ever since then my entire mouth is SUPER sensitive. After my brothers always told be horror stories and other friends as well, I was certain, if I ever have to get this done, there is NO way it can be pain-​free. But then along comes Rootvision Endo!!! And of course I needed not one, but 2 root-​canals the same day.
My wonderful dentist, Dr. Shirvani in Burbank, recommended this place since the root canals were 2 difficult ones.
Dr. Nghiem explained to me EVERY STEP, why it is a tough job, what needs to be done, how it will be done and he comforted me.
Still with a LOT of nerves and fear he started. I didn’t feel anything. After he kept going, I thought, ok this one is going deep now… waiting for the pain… still nothing.
After a extensive procedure, I seriously felt ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! The only «pain» or discomfort was the injection of the numbing.
So if you read this and think, yeah sure, but is that really possible? I don’t believe those Unilocalers. I did not believe it either, but root-​canals CAN BE PAIN FREE!!! Wooohoooo!!!
Isn’t that the best news ever?
So if you have to get any root-​canals or root treatments done? GO HERE.
They are getting Christmas cookies from me (Dr. Nghiem can clean everyone’s teeth after), THAT’S how happy I am that I found them!!!

Need a root canal? come to RootVision Endo. Everyone here is super personable. I didn’t have anything to eat before coming here because it was only supposed to be a consultation. It turns out the tooth that was bothering needed a root canal. The girls in the front provided granola bars so I can have something in my stomach before the procedure.
I was nervous at first and asked the dentist questions. He was patient and told me to «…ask questions now…» On the chair, the dental assistant explained everything that was going on and what she was going to put into my mouth and why. Before I knew it, the procedure was done. I was given the dentist cell phone number and the Regional Manager’s cell number just in case of an emergency or high concern. I didn’t have to use it. Now what dental office does that?
That was yesterday. Today, I don’t feel a lot of pain. Plus, RootVision Endo called me early this morning to follow-​up. I highly recommend coming here for a root procedure.

Between braces, cleanings, crowns and fillings, and wisdom teeth removed; I am no stranger to dental work.
I went to my dentist, thinking I might need a crown, only to find out I needed a root canal. His office immediately referred me to Rootvision Endo in Glendale. Two weeks later, I was at Rootvision’s office for a consultation and rootcanal with Dr. Quan Nghiem. I, actually, could have gone in the same day but my schedule wouldn’t allow.
Dr. Nghiem’s assistant came in first, took my x-​ray, and did her best to make me feel at ease. As you can imagine, just the idea of needing a root canal is «nerve» wrecking, let alone, anticipating the actual procedure. But, after filling out my paperwork, I was led into one of the rooms that, thankfully, did not have hospital white walls. Immediately, that began putting me at ease. The lights are a little dim and there’s a tv right in front of you to help calm you. As you can imagine, just the idea of needing a root canal is «nerve» wrecking, let alone, anticipating the actual procedure.
Dr. Nghiem, performed my procedure and also consulted me on what my tooth needed, how the procedure would happen, and used my x-​ray to show me and explain the damage done to my tooth and how it got that way. No dentist has ever taken so much time to explain my teeth x-​rays to me in the past.
I was so nervous about the procedure hurting; but, as Dr. Nghiem said, «the worst part is the needle to numb you.» He was right. I felt absolutely nothing. Dr. Nghiem, had such a gentle hand and asked how I was doing throughout the procedure. He and his assistant encouraged me to take as many «suction» and rest breaks as I felt I needed. I did not even feel a pinch during the procedure. The worst part was the sound of the drill. The procedure took about 1.5 hours.
The next day, the office followed-​up with a call to check on how I was feeling.
I would recommend this team to ANYONE! In fact, I already have. A friend is going to call them very soon to set-​up an appointment.
If you can, go to one of Rootvision’s several locations. You and your mouth will be glad you did.

Okay, i have had 3 root canals, 2 implants (one failed by a bad oral surgeon and i had to repay again to get it done all over by a different dr) and over 20 cavities over my years and i am only 30 years old. Now with all the work that i have had done over the years i have learned a lot. including befriending a dentist buddy who has also educated me further. So now with that in mind. two of my past root canals are infected. The reputation of Dr. Quan alone sent me to this office.
Im not an idiot when i sit in a dentist chair. I have done this so much i know what questions to ask and where to price it and what my options are. I have to tell you Unilocalers out there. that Dr. Quan is one of the most honest, easy listening, humble dentist (endo) i have ever met. He told me straight up no b. s what my options entailed and what to expect and what the percentages of the succesful options are. Now remember everyones teeth are different– genes, hygiene, bone, — not every procedure works but a good dentist is like a lawyer someone thats going to watch out for you honestly and fearlessly.
The staff was great. I could care less about waiting times and staff when it comes to the man of the hour the doctor. but really i mean the lady helping me out (I’m so bad with names sorry) offered me water, sparking water, diet coke (my drink) and was just so welcoming and funny. Kudos to the ladies here.
This is a real good office and if you complain about this place your an idiot. Probably one of those people i hate that goes to disneyland and find something to complain about. Probably one of those kids that use to cry about everything even at your birthday party and then you got older and discovered Unilocal and realize all your negative thoughts and expressions could be shared and read. anyway, where was I? oh yeah, this place 5 stars! Doesn’t deserve any less from a guy who will go down in the history books with being plagued with the genes of the worse teeth issues ever.

wuauuuuuu this place is the best! the dentist and staff they really have love for dental professionalism, other places I went to the dentist treated me with anger twisting my head horribly no love for this profession– I recommend every person to this place !
Dr Shimizu and HONEST with insurance co pays Mrs Maria I wish this office will be endo and dental office too

What a top notch endo office! I was referred to them by my dentist, the place is awesome. Very nice environment and the customer service was excellent too, thank you Norma. I had a pain free root canal done by Dr Nghiem, he and his asst Gina, they we’re so nice and kept me informed on everything they were doing. Everyone was so personable and made me feel like a valued client. Gina rocks!

Completely painless root canal by Dr Nghiem. Gina his DA is awesome. She explains everything and puts your mind at ease. Definitely will recommend to anyone who needs dental work!!!

Dr. Shimizu is honest and not out to make a buck. This office is clean, cool and customer service oriented.

Best dental experience ever! NO PAIN.
Dr. Shimizu and his assistant Gina are the best, and made me feel real comfortable. :-D

The staff here is super amazing. They are caring, responsive and very experienced. I’ve had two root canals here thus far, and NO pain. My last visit was terrific with Dr. Quan Nghiem, Gina and Monica. I highly recommend this office! :)

Absolutely amazed with how prompt these guys were able to see me. Had an infection on my premolar on Friday, was put on antibiotics and by Monday they were ready to rock and roll. My dentist was awesome, his assistant kept me entertained and the receptionist worked with me to figure out a payment plan.

I was referred by my dentist to Rootvision Endo for a root canal. I was in so much pain and it was such a relief that they were able to see me within 30 minutes of my call. The receptionists were friendly and helpful. Dr. Nghiem did my root canal. He was wonderful and explained the whole process to me. He made sure I had no pain during the root canal. Really, everyone there was great. Thank you, Dr. Nghiem for the wonderful job. I’m feeling so much better now because of your care. I highly recommend this place and Dr. Nghiem to anyone needing a root canal.

Thank you VERY MUCH! As someone who has unfortunately had 6 (now 7) root canals by 4 different Endodontists, I feel very qualified to say that this was the best root canal experience I have ever had.
The office was beautiful; very modern, clean, comfortable. The furniture in the waiting room was very comfortable, the air conditioning was nice and cool on a hot summer day, and music was nice and at a great volume.
The receptionist was very helpful and the wait time was less than that of any medical or dental appointment I have ever had.
Dr. Quan Nghiem was very nice, professional, and explained my xray to me while making his diagnosis. He takes time to listen to patients and makes sure that they understand the procedures. During the procedure he worked very efficiently, and checked in with me several times to make sure I was ok and comfortable. I was very impressed with the procedure .
Gina was assisting Dr. Quan, she was very comforting and worked so professionally and paid close attention to detail at each step to assist Dr. Quan and make sure that I was comfortable the whole time.
Dr. Quan and Gina are perfect examples for others in the medical and dental field to follow, they have the ability to make everyone feel like they are a priority, and they genuinely want to make sure that you are taken care of throughout the whole process.
Thank you everyone at Rootvision Endo! I truly appreciate your great work and will highly recommend your office to others.

Came here because my dentist was unavailable. They were super professional and this place is spotless. The Doctor went beyond to make sure My Honeys mouth was numb before doing his dental work. He has been in so much pain that he couldn’t eat and they fit him in and now he is happy he can eat Korean BBQ. Thank you!

Excellent, modern office!
I had to get an emergency root canal procedure due to the overwhelming pain I was having in my tooth. They took me the same day and took my insurance as well.
The front desk was very pleasant and Dr. Shimizu was very attentive and professional. I felt no pain or discomfort during or after the procedure. It was fairly quick as well. I was given the Doctor’s direct line if I needed to reach him over the weekend. Great bedside manners.
Overall a great experience for a procedure that has a really bad reputation. Would recommend to anyone.
