Pasadena Endodontix

Dr. Vu and everyone in the office were outstanding and very professional
in a modern setting.
The root canal procedure ended with the presentation of a hot lemon-​scented
towel.
My recovery was much less painful than I expected; that was a wonderful
surprise.
All in all, I would highly recommend Dr. Vu and her colleagues.

Dr. Safa treated my root canal today. He was courteous, skillful and professional. The staff was also very helpful and prompt. The office is very modern and cozy. I was feeling relaxed the whole appointment.
Overall, the procedure went very well and I was very happy with the outcome I would highly recommend Dr. Safa.

Pasadena Endodontix is great as is Dr. Safa! He’s done two root canals on me over a 5 year period – the last one very recently. The whole staff is very friendly and caring. Dr. Safa is excellent! He makes you feel very comfortable, is very personable and takes extremely good care of you. I never felt a thing while he worked on me. He’s very professional, and I highly recommend him and his staff!

Went to Dr. Safa for the 2^nd time. Once again, the service, expertise and kindness were incredible. What a professional office and Dr. Safa is so gentle, caring and an expert in his field. I highly recommend to everyone!!!
Best endodontist ever!!!

Dr Safa and his staff are the penultimate professionals! It’s probably weird to say that you like the person who has done 3 root canals but if it has to be done it has to be Dr Safa. He is courteous, concerned, explains procedures, and is truly a warm man. The dental assistants at efficient and kind also! I’ve never had to wait either which is an added bonus!

Pasadena Endodontix is terrific! Dr. Safa’s office took me in the same day I called. My pain was unbearable, and my molar needed a root canal. It was a «dead» tooth, and it took time to
do the procedure, but there was zero pain with it. I had residual pain the next 4 — 5 days, but I’d been advised that I should anticipate that. I liked Dr. Safa, and felt very at ease with him and his staff. This is a terrific office to get your needs met, if you live locally~ and have emergency level tooth pain, like I did. I’d give em 10 stars, if I could. God bless Dr. Safa!

Great costumer service I was very pleased with the work I had done by Dr Safa … Thank you for all your help … Satisfied Costumer

Dr. Safa redid my root canal — and it was The. Best. Dental. Experience. Of. My. Life.
I’m not someone who’s afraid of going to the dentist, and I’m actually really interested in what they’re doing. Dr. Safa and his awesome, friendly, humorous assistants let me watch what they were doing via some crazy technological set-​up (actually, it was just a video monitor thing) and once he realized how interested I was, Dr. Safa took the time to explain everything he was doing, and why, and the technical aspects of it. I just really appreciated the good-​natured and technically superior approach of this endodontics team, across the board.
The office was a little hard to find within the complex, but once there — gosh, nice digs! Very clean, very attractive, no loud music or tv blaring, complimentary Keurig, consent forms that I completed via iPad, and just a generally welcoming environment.
The whole procedure took less than an hour. I hope I never have to have another root canal redone, but if I do, I will absolutely return to Pasadena Endodontix.

No one wants to get a root canal. However, if you find yourself in this scenario Dr. Safa is the best. He talked me through the entire procedure. He is dedicated to making sure your follow up care is also taken care of. I really appreciated the follow up call by his office manager the next day to check on me. I can’t say enough about Dr. Safa and his whole staff.

Had a great experience with Dr. Safa– quick and painless! Dr. Safa was able to see me the same day without any problems. Very professional staff. If you need a root canal, please see Dr. Safa!

Like most people, I bought into the urban legend of the «root canal from hell» scenario. Combination of «Marathon Man» and a slasher movie.
When I first met with Dr. Safa he assured me this was in fact a myth, and I’d be out of there in 45 minutes.
He was spot-​on! What a pleasant experience it was. And painless! He and everyone there are so welcoming and professional. They even called the next day to see how I was doing. I can’t thank them enough for doing such an awesome job.

I wanted to take the time to recommend Dr. Safa who is an endodontist in pasadena. He was highly recommended by my friend, who is a dentist and refers to him all the time. he was recommended as someone who is excellent and compassionate. I was very nervous before I went, but everything I had heard was true. The staff were great, Henrietta, Suzy, Abby and the entire team were just great. When I met Dr. Safa, I just felt comfortable and knew he was a perfectionist. I hope no one needs a root canal, but if you do then just go to Dr.Safa. Five stars are not enough.

I’m the most anxious, scaredy-​cat patient any dentist would want to see. I’m literally anxious about a teeth cleaning. So, you could imagine my level of fear when I found out I had to get a root canal.
And…what everyone said below was true. I’m writing this review hours after my treatment and I am happy to report that I have no discomfort! Thanks to the Tooth Fairy (and Dr. Safa), my treatment was as easy and painless as it gets. Dr. Safa was very accommodating, transparent, and informative. He checked in with me many times throughout the procedure and explained everything he was doing. He told me my treatment would take no more than 30 minutes, and I think we finished in 20! When I experienced sensitivity, he immediately gave me more anesthesia and eased any pain I was experiencing. Dr. Safa is a true expert at his craft.
I can’t finish this review without thanking his excellent staff. From the administrative staff to the dental assistants and technicians — I felt welcomed, comforted, and cared for at every level of my experience. I can’t even believe I’m saying this, but thank you for such a pleasant root canal treatment!
In sum: regardless of where you live or where you’re coming from, it is worth every mile to get your root canal treatment with Dr. Safa.

Dr. Safa is the best.
My regular dentist is in the Valley, and because I am a dental chicken, I kept driving back to Valley Village, even though I now live in Pasadena. When I needed a root canal and was nervous about it, he surprised me by being pretty uncaring and nonchalant about it. I found Pasadena Endodontix on Unilocal,and based on reviews and necessity, decided to call them.
Now honestly, I take all these reviews with a grain of sand, and I am especially cautious about anyone that has a 5-​star rating. I have had vendors on Unilocal call and offer me money or services to re-​write or just delete my less-​than-​stellar reviews, which is how I think a lot of them are 5-​star reviews. But Dr. Safa is the real deal. He told me the tooth was already dead and that that root canal I needed was the simplest that could be done — he could have me in and out in 40 minutes with no discomfort. He didn’t want to give me any other anesthetic except the local, but said that if I became uncomfortable he would have gas available and ready.
I didn’t believe him at first, but he was absolutely right. The most uncomfortable thing about the whole experience was keeping my mouth open for that long. Otherwise, I’ve had cavities filled that were more uncomfortable. His demeanor and expertise put you right at ease, and his office is friendly and professional. God willing I won’t ever need an endodontist again, but he is definitely the man to go to.

Just had my first root canal experience with Dr Safa today and it was great.
Learned I needed a root canal Monday and booked with Dr Safa Wednesday. The team was very accommodating. They were able to schedule the consultation and procedure for the same day.
Dr Safa was very comforting and reassuring. He explained every single noise, smell, and action as he was going along. Only took and hour and I had no pain. At home now with minimal swelling and no pain.
Highly recommended if you need a root canal done. This guy knows what he is doing.

They did a great job on my root canal but their admin, Michelle screwed up my dental insurance.
The reason why I went on a certain date was because that was the time my dental insurance is effective for a root canal. I even called my insurance to reassure that before I went for my visit that I am covered. She didn’t put the effort to call my insurance and I had to pay thousands without coverage.
Costumer service was awful. They need a different admin that cares about their patients. They don’t even give a parking pass.

No one hates the dentist more than me, and I avoid dental work if at all possible, so when I started having severe tooth and jaw pain I knew I needed help. Turns out I needed a root canal, my first! My dentist Dr. Ariel Rodriguez (also fabulous!) suggested Dr. Safa. I had no time to check reviews or consider other options as the pain was relentless.
I have to say honestly, Dr. Safa was exceptional. He took me same day, explained thoroughly his exam and recommended treatment and got to work. The procedure was painless and best of all super fast!
His staff explained all billing very thoroughly and accurately and they were immensely sympathetic. Like I said, I HATE dental work but if you need a root canal Dr. Safa is the guy you want!

The short-​story — Dr Safa and staff are among the best in the industry! You will have a hard time finding anyone better than this team.
I was referred to Dr. Safa by my dentist on Wed and had an appointment the following Fri @ 10am for a toothache that had gotten progressively worse over two weeks. The office was modern looking and clean and all the staff were extremely professional and courteous. I arrived a few minutes early in case I had to fill out any paperwork. After I finished with the paperwork, I was brought back to the chair promptly at 10am. I don’t know about you, but I’ve rarely had a medical related appointment that was actually on-​time.
After a quick x-​ray and evaluation by the doctor, he confirmed that I needed to get a root canal, definitely not the news I was looking forward to on a Friday. I am a wimp when it comes to going to the dentist, so as soon as I heard the words «root canal» I immediately started getting anxious, nervous and fearful in anticipation of the pain to come.
I explained my fear to Dr. Safa and staff and they immediately worked to calm me down and alleviate my concerns. They spoke to me calmly and respectfully, explaining every step of the process. Even going so far as to explain why other people have had painful root canals — primarily due to an untreated infection. He also truthfully told me that since I was having a decent amount of pain before the root canal, not to expect the pain to go away immediately afterwards. Which I was glad he did, otherwise I would have been worried that the procedure did not work.
I had asked for laughing gas, but at a cost of $ 250, he convinced me otherwise. He offered to provide the gas, however, if at anytime during the procedure I felt that I would need it. He confidently reassured me that I would not need it. Luckily I did not.
As for the actual process, the only discomfort I felt was the initial shot of Novocain, and even that wasn’t horrible. Dr. Safa talked me through the entire process and constantly checked in with me to make sure I was doing okay. The only other discomfort I suffered was having to keep my jaw open so wide for the 45 minute process!
I even received a follow-​up call the day after to see how I was doing!
Not that I would every wish anyone to have a root canal, but if you are unfortunate enough to need one, please, please, please make sure to at least visit Dr. Safa and his staff before finally going through the procedure. It will not be a waste of time by any means!

This review is long overdue. Dr. Safa and staff are wonderful. No one wants to have a deep tooth infection that requires a root canal. However, if you do need a root canal, go see Dr. Safa! He is wonderful. I had gotten a overlay on a pre-​molar tooth. Unfortunately, a year later, I developed a horrible gum infection in that tooth. I was bummed to learn I would need a root canal because I had already used up my dental coverage for that particular tooth, so if my dental overlay was ruined during the root canal, I would need another overlay and would have to pay out of pocket.
But that was not the case due to the skill of Dr. Safa. I went in for a consultation. He X-​rayed my tooth, showed me the signs of infection, and we discussed the options. I decided to proceed with the root canal and Dr. Safa performed it the SAME day, completed all 4 roots of that pre-​molar tooth under 45 minutes! Superb work. 1 year later, that tooth is perfect. Dr. Safa did the root canal through such a tiny hole that my dentist was able to easily patch my overlay without having to redo the entire thing.
I am a medical doctor. If I need further endodontic work, I will definitely seek our Dr. Safa again. Highly recommend without reservations.

Dr Safa is really nice and informative. He took me in for a same day root canal as a referral from my dentist office. For my first root canal I gotta say, didn’t really feel any pain. just some pressure. And took Motrin once the numbing wore off the next day. but nothing fancy.
During the procedure I was informed most of the way what he was doing. He did burn my lip on the right side a little with some tool he used. and yes I have pictures to prove it. I dont think he knew how sensitive my skin is due to cancer. I still think he’s amazing and he was informative. Everyone there is very nice.
