Bayside Endodontics

This review is for the office staff. The dentists and the assistants are very nice. No complaints. Came here as a referral from my dentist for an specialized consultation. The dentist who assisted me was nice and explained the status of the results. The dentist assist was also nice and friendly. My complaint is for the office staff. When I asked for them to clarify a certain coverage or costs, she was talking to me as if I was dumb. I know what I was talking about, I don’t think she clearly understood. It’s a shame they have great dentists but the staff needs more training on customer service and how to handle insurance questions.

I saw Jennifer Fong to have an old root canal redone. Going to the dentist is one of my biggest fears, so you can imagine how scared I was to have a root canal done again! Dr. Fong was an excellent and caring dentist. Not only did she finish a lot faster than the first dentist I had, she was also very gentle and always made sure I was doing ok. And to top it off, she was able to go through my existing crown, saving me a lot of money! She is truly amazing and you will NOT regret coming to this office. Thank you for being a caring dentist and making my experience better than dentists I have had in the past!

This was easily the best experience I have ever had at any dentist’s office. Under the circumstances, this is a truly amazing statement. I needed a pretty complex root canal. I had gone to my regular dentist of 30 years (never again!!) who had failed to diagnose the needed root canal and instead kept doing ridiculous procedures that of course only increased my pain. By the time I met with wonderful Dr Ahani, I had suffered almost a month of crazy making pain. Dr Ahani was able to diagnose in less than three minutes and spent over 2 hrs (!!) getting some very complex twisted roots out. He was kind, skilled and very concerned with making this experience pleasurable (and it was). He was funny, warm, empathic and really brilliant at his work. It was truly fun watching him work. He also sang (as did his assistant Kiersha… she on tune (beautiful voice); he… not so much). He did such an amazing job that I did not even need to take pain killers or tylenol and the swelling was almost non-​existent! AND I AM NOT IN PAIN!!! Thank you Dr. Ahani… you’re one of the good ones… you have not only taken away the pain; but you have restored my faith in your profession.

My least favorite part of this past weekend? Having an emergency root canal at 5:30 on a Friday evening. My favorite part of said root canal? The staying-​past-​closing-​hours endodontist singing along to the overhead music and spontaneously replacing the word «heartache» with the word «toothache» in the 90s Cher classic «I found someone to take away my heartache.» You did indeed take away my (severe) toothache… Thank you, Dr. Ahani! :)
Beyond the musical entertainment (which was enhanced by Dr. Ahani’s extremely able and professional assistant’s [Kiersha] lovely voice as she quietly sang in the background occasionally while prepping components of the root canal, the experience was filled with education, empathy, and strong evidence of compassionate patient care. Overall, a first rate endodontist practice!

I was referred to Dr. Ahani by my Dentist Dr. Avalos who by the way, is an amazing Dentist in South San Francisco. I was in need of a crown and needed a new post to replace an existing post, not the easiest thing to do I imagine.
I scheduled my appointment and was called by the kindest lady to confirm the day before. When I went into the office, I was pleasantly greeted, and loved their choice of music, put me at ease a bit. Another super kind lady had me fill out some papers, and then I was prepared to have the existing post removed. Dr. Ahani explained everything to me, showed me pictures and even sketched out what needed to be done. He is such a kind man, and then the procedure began. I experienced no pain or discomfort, and it went by fairly quickly. The post was actually extracted and another post put in, I can’t get over how easy Dr. Ahani made this happen and feel.
I really cannot say enough good things about Dr. Ahani. I would not hesitate to recommend him and am so very pleased with the overall experience.

Having neglected my teeth for some time I was in need of serious dental work. A few weeks after having my wisdom teeth removed I began the search for an endodontist to help with a root canal. Having searched Unilocal and seen the favorable reviews, I settled on Bayside Endodontics.
My consultation and procedure were both with Dr. Rowshan Ahani. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly, the office was impeccable and the location just off the freeway was ideal.
The procedure itself was while uncomfortable due to it’s nature, almost completely painless and very straightforward. Dr. Ahani is masterful at what he does as an endodontist, but what I really appreciated was his approach to ensuring I was comfortable. His chatter, humming to music etc bring a sense of calm to the room. When I did feel pain Dr. Ahani responded immediately, and the ladies who serve as his staff couldn’t be more courteous and helpful.
I sit here 1 full day after having a root canal and I’m experiencing zero pain, no discomfort whatsoever… it wasn’t until I went to type up this review that I realized I’d forgot to take my pain medication today. Truly amazing.
Dr. Ahani and his staff are great at what they do. Without delay, I’d recommend Bayside Endodontics.

I had to get a root canal done and I was referred to Bayside Endodontics through my Dentist Dr. Kim Lucas Benton in Daly City. Dr. Rowshan Ahani specializes in Molar Root Canals, Dental Implants (very expensive by the way), Endodontic Surgery, Cracked Teeth and Traumatic Dental Work. At this point I really didn’t care where I went, who referred me or what city it was in. I just needed to do something fast. Didn’t help that my tooth started bothering me Saturday Christmas weekend. So, I had to wait an additional day to see my dentist who in turn referred me to Bayside after learning it could be a molar.
Upon arrival to Bayside Endodontics I was very impressed with the décor, the emphasis on safety and high standards. A very soothing, clean, relaxed environment. Very easy to fall asleep. I look for dozing off qualities. From paint on the wall, to music playing, to the staff’s voices. When your in my profession and your sleep is limited on a weekly basis you try to find any potential nap environment. Professional, prompt, organized staff. Talking to Dr. Ahani I felt at ease and was sure I was in good hands. I couldn’t exactly pinpoint which tooth was bothering me. So many nerves in your teeth pain can come from anywhere. Top tooth could be hurting but it could actually be a bottom tooth. He said «No problem, I’ll find it». After a series of tests he located which tooth it was. Taking into consideration that I would use that tooth to do the majority of my heavy biting and chewing Dr. Ahani gave me my options on fillers and which would be the most logical move to make given the placement of my tooth. In the meantime Dr. Ahani gave me a prescription of Vicodin that would alleviate the pain and let me have an uninterrupted night of sleep. «SWEET».
The day of the procedure I was ready. Given that this wasn’t my first rodeo and that I’ve been through the whole «root canal deal» before. (Ate alot of candy as a kid… actually still do) lol. I just laid back and got a good hour nap. When the procedure was over. I couldn’t have felt better. Had a good nap and was pretty satisfied on how fast and smooth the procedure was. When it was all said and done Dr. Ahani gave me some Tylenol’s and Advil’s as well a great tip. He told me that if you take 2 Advil’s (regular strength) and a Tylenol (regular strength). That will give you the same pain blockage as a Vicodin would do without the trippy Vicodin side effects. «Good knowledge Doc». Appreciate that. Sent me on my way a happy man. All in all a very positive experience.

I recently had to have a root canal, and without hesitation i went to see the infamous singing endodontist, Dr Rowshan Ahani. His staff is very pleasant and efficient, always greeting you with big comforting smiles. Dr Row, is awesome! painless injections, very compassionate, comforting chairside manner. His office is totally high tech! It is easy to give them nothing less than 5 stars! If you ever need a root canal, this is the only place to go! IF your dentist doesn’t know about him let him know this is where you want to be referred to :)

I am over the top as far as my opinion about this fabulous doctor, Dr. Rowshan Ahani. Bayhill Dentistry referred me to this Endodontics Dentist for a consultation for my teeth. I knew once I read his «bio» that I was impressed. Furthermore, once I walked in the front door of this office I knew I was in the right place. All of the staff welcomed me from the time I stepped into the office & upon my exit. They even called me the next day after my root canals. I’ve never had a better experience in my life as I’ve had with Dr. Ahani. I had a root canal last week & one this week. I experienced no pain whatsoever! I know this may be hard to believe but I am so thrilled with the results. I do need 2 teeth extracted & am seriously considering having Dr. Ahani do the implants. Not sure what I’m going to be doing yet. If you need root canal work — I’d advise you to call their office for a consultation. You’ll be glad you did. Dr. Ahani makes you feel comfortable — & is quite the jokester. It was hard to keep back my chuckles despite the gadgets that were placed in my mouth for the root canal. I wish you good luck if you decide to make an apppointment with Dr. Ahani. He deserves 10 STARS!!!

I had an amazingly wonderful experience for my root canal — Dr. Ahani
explained everything very clearly before we began, and the procedure
went quickly and smoothly. I had so little discomfort afterward I couldn’t
believe it. The entire staff was friendly and professional!
I know a root canal isn’t something anyone would look forward to, but if
I ever need another — this is the place to go!
