Blake W McRay Endodontics

I am a new patient. I do not like to have my teeth worked on (loathe actually), much to the fact that I avoid dental work as long as possible. When I was told that I needed to have root canal, all I could think about was the scary stories people tell. However, going to see Dr McRay and his friendly staff, has changed my mind. The office staff was pleasant. Dr McRay came in and took time to explain exactly what I needed, what the procedure would be, and how long. During the procedure they kept asking me if I was doing ok. You know how some doctors offices you feel like a number, the doctor rushes in, does whatever, and rushes out. This was not the experience here. I felt that he took his time to get the job right the first time.
I would highly recommend McRay Endodontics to anyone.

My mom is a dental hygienist and I’ve gone to her office (with the same dentist) for 30 years. When one of my teeth started turning gray Dr. Devincenzi referred me to Dr. McRay for endodontic evaluation. Dr. Devincenzi was adamant that I see Dr. McRay rather than any other endodostist in the North Bay Area. She was right! Steady hands, reasonable pricing, and about the same trouble/​pain as a basic filling left me with a (corrected) smile.
Setting an appointment was easy and most forms, disclosures, and paperwork were handled in advance and online which saved me time at the office and let me take my time reading the materials. The assistant staff, particularly Belle, are super helpful.
Though I got the address wrong (similar sounding businesses in Napa, be careful, apparently it happens often enough for the offices to notify each other, oops) so I was a little late but they accommodated me without any grief. After filling out some forms that could only be done in the office and taking my photo for their file, I was seated in a very modern and updated office. The optical equipment was top of the line (Zeiss) and everything was very clean.
I ended up needing a root canal (the nerve into #6 was severed and the old nerve cells and whatnot were causing the tooth to turn grey) but as much to whiten the tooth as for avoiding any potential problems down the road. They explained all changes in cost and time for the procedure clearly then went to work.
Dr. McRay stuck me as young … but I’ve been going to the same dentist and hygienist for 30 years so they’ve aged with me. Personally I prefer a doctor who is relatively recently out of school to ensure current treatment methods and I feel like that’s what I got with Dr. McRay. He was efficient and seemed as competent as I could possibly hope for. My canal filling was deeper than anticipated but he handled all changes and issues expertly.
He added some bleach under a temporary filling which resolved the gray coloring almost overnight though he mentioned we could repeat the bleaching another couple times if the color was not matched to my other teeth in a week when I return. Then I’ll get a permanent filling and return in a year to confirm everything has remained as it should.
They have consistently sent follow up emails and replied to all my questions right away. The cost was reasonable in my mom’s experience as a hygienist in the area and I’ve found that another person in my office has been to Dr. McRay for a simliar procedure (with simiar positive results and reviews of his office).

Highly recommended. I was referred to see Dr. McRay for issues with a root canal. Dr. McRay was knowledgeable, professional, on-​time, and thorough in explaining my options for treatment. My experience was very comfortable and I felt like I was being well taken care of. I was very surprised that after the numbing went down, I had very little soreness or pain. The office is clean, the staff are friendly and professional. Definitely 5 stars, and will recommend Dr. McRay to friends and family.

I was referred by my general Dentist to Dr McRay for a root canal. The experience was pleasant, pain free and flawless! Dr McRay explained everything from start to finish. The staff were great! I highly recommend Dr McRay

Dr. Tetz from Green Valley Dental got me in to see Dr. McRay for an emergency root canal in less than 24 hours!
Very nice endodontist! He took his time and made sure he wasn’t hurting me!
Highly recommend!

Dr. Blake McRay took care of a problem I had on a tooth with a crown. I’m always a nervous wreck when seeing a dentist. He’s an Endodontist and an excellent doctor in his field. The whole experience was positive. Thank you Dr. McCray for your kindness, gentleness and overall care. I’m doing great the day after! Thank you for the follow-​up call too. You are awesome! I will definitely come back to you and pass your name on to friends!

There was a small section of teeth that my orthodontists just couldn’t figure out how to get me relief (It was beyond their expertise), so they sent me to Dr. McRay. Entering the building, I was quickly greeted & helped by Irma, the office manager. Everyone at that office is very kind & friendly. Dr. McRay gave me two root canals during the same appointment a few weeks ago, and I still haven’t stopped bragging about how easy it went, & how painless it was! I just got another one in the same area this morning, and it was the same. Once he gave me the anesthetics, it was mostly painless. To the point where I was so comfortable, I was drifting off into sleep… During a root canal! I really appreciated how he kept checking in, to see how I was feeling during the procedure, even though I couldn’t really feel anything. Then afterward, he was informative about the aftercare, answering any question I had. Along with all the other 5 star reviews, I also highly recommend this doctor.

My first visit and I was very surprised by the cute and professional décor inside. The staff was very nice and courteous considering I was late (sorry). Dr. McRay has great patient manners, and excellent touch and I am so glad that I decided to save my tooth and do a root canal. Like a good dentist should; he provided me with all my options including extraction. I am so happy with my decision. Sarah (sp?) his technician was also great and she along with Dr. McRay work as a great team. Will update after my follow up hopefully with good news about the treatment. At this point I would highly recommend this office.

I was in horrible pain and I called Dr. McRay’s office and the same day they were able to put me in their schedule and did the procedure right away. Great relief!!! Great staff… Dr. McRay explained the procedure really well; what’s going to happen, what to expect.etc. This doctor is comes highly recommended.

UPDATE: I just wanted to make a quick update. After my numbing went away yesterday I was in more pain than I thought I would be. Wowzers was I in pain. I called Dr. McRay’s office, told them about my pain, and they happily sent a prescription to be filled for some stronger pain meds for me. Then today I received a call from Dr. McRay checking in to see how I was doing! Man, both he and his office provide great service.
