Cindy E Geers, DDS

Highly competent, friendly, communicative and patient. Can’t say enough superlatives about Dr. Geers. She was awesome during evaluation, discussion of issues and treatment options, and my procedure. Comfort and attention to detail were her biggest concerns during my Root Canal on a large molar. I am not easily impressed, but Dr. Geers lived up to all the positive reviews I had read about her. My highest praise.
Her staff, from the front desk to her assistant Stephanie, were awesome as well. True attitude of service.

Really, what’s the big deal with root canals?
I’m HUGELY phobic about dentists, but I swear that I dozed off at least twice while she was working!
Everything was clearly explained, both before the procedure and even during it. If more dentists had her chair-​side manner, there’d be a lot fewer jokes about masochistic dentists and the horror of toot canal!
It appears from the rest of these reviews that my regular dentist was right; he said when he gave me the referral «everybody loves Doctor Cindy!»

Dr. Geers is the BEST! I have a real fear of dentists but she put me at ease and made sure that I had no pain! I have very long roots and am extremely difficult to anesthetize. Dr. Geers would not proceed until I was completely numb. She explained every step of the treatment and made me laugh which is pretty difficult to do during a root canal! She is efficient and takes such pride in her work! I really love and appreciate both her and her assistant! If you must have a root canal and you are in the Redlands area do not hesitate to go to Dr. Geers… she is professional, experienced and a blessing to those who are fearful of dental work!

I’d never had a root canal before today, and I was a little apprehensive. Dr. Geers put me at ease immediately, and I found this invasive procedure to be a great experience. My teeth and gums are difficult to numb for some reason, and she was so insistent that I was totally numb, even adding a little more when she got into the tooth and it was a little uncomfortable. She made sure I stayed relaxed and kept up a great description of what she was doing as she moved along with the procedure.
One other thing I really liked is that I could tell she was meticulous about making sure everything was done perfectly. She also took great care to not ruin the existing crown, which was very considerate of my pocketbook.
She and her staff were soooo friendly. If I have to get another root canal… I’ll go to her without hesitation!

Pain-​free is not an adjective I would use in a sentence with root canal but this was my experience with Dr. Cindy Geers. I was referred to her when I started experiencing pain from a previous root canal procedure performed by another dentist in 1998.
During my first visit, she thoroughly explained where the problem laid and the process she would take to fix my tooth. Tania, the office manager, spent time with me going over the financial arrangements. I completely understood and was all set to tackle the tooth.
Finally, the big day arrived and I was quite nervous. I told Dr. Geers and Tania that I’ve always experienced pain during canal procedures. They both calmed my fears. Dr. Geers has a unique way of administering medication that I barely felt the injections. I loved the deep breathing technique. The pretreatment process was very zen. I put on my headphones while Dr. Geers worked away. Not once did I ever feel any pain, not even in the slightest.
Dr. Geers is a warm, wonderful person. Very professional (specializes in this field for 30 years) and totally on her game yet the human factor was always present. I felt completely comfortable and trusted her explicitly. Tania is just as much fun. She has a gentle approach and is very reassuring. They are an amazing team!
I have another tooth that needs repair (previous dentist did a real number on two of my teeth) so Dr. Geers is the person I’m going back to. I highly recommend that you seek out Dr. Geers for any canal work you may need. Trust me, she’s the best!

Root Canal. Those two simple words alone can cause fear, anxiety and wincing. They can cause women of class and moral distinction to swoon and faint, and men of brave hearts and strong constitutions to groan in pain. Years of dental neglect due to a lack of insurance had led me to this point. I recently had a tooth that was abcessing and either needed to be tended to or extracted. Since I recently acquired dental insurance through my employer, I decided to use it and see what my options were.
First I went to a General Dentist. He explained that the tooth could be extracted; or, if I wanted it saved, a root canal would be necessary. Considering I want to keep the molars I still have in my mouth, I decided on the latter. He informed me that, due to the shape and curvature of the tooth’s root, that he felt better if he referred me to a specialist. I didn’t even know there were such things in dentistry (other than oral surgeons). He then gave me a referral to Dr. Cindy Geers. After some thought and deliberation, I called and made an appointment.
Best…decision…ever…
Simply put, Dr. Geers was a delight and a godsend. I was very nervous, since I had lots of dentistry and orthodontics when I was a child. Every time I would be on my back and open my mouth — it meant pain. I explained this all to Dr. Geers and her assistant, Taina; and they assured me things were much different in this day and age — and they would do their best to make the experience as least unpleasant as possible. They succeeded.
Dr. Geers is a wonderful woman. She explained that when it comes to pain, she’s a bit of a wimp and doesn’t want her patients to be in any more pain than is necessary. She was very, very friendly and quite informative as to what needed to be done and what to expect. The questions I had were expertly answered in easy to understand language.
The procedure itself. was almost… well…pleasant! As pleasant as a Root Canal can be, anyway. Dr. Geers made sure to get me, very… and I do mean VERY… numb. In fact, the most painful part of the whole procedure were the Novacaine shots; and to be honest, those were only a bit uncomfortable.
Dr. Geers helped the time pass during the procedure with friendly chat. I don’t know what it is about dentists who want to chat while they have you at their mercy like that. Perhaps it’s the whole «captive audience» thing. But in this case — it was appreciated. She was full of info on this and that and liked to point out all the cool and updated technologies they have now to make the procedure less unpleasant than in the past. She has a great sense of humor. We chatted and joked a bit and, before I knew it, I was done!
Half of what I was dreading was how sore I would be when the Novacaine wore off. She gave me an Rx for Ibuprofen 800mg; but to my surprise, I only had to use it for about a day and a half afterwards. I was VERY pleasantly surprised and impressed by this.
Turns out that Dr. Geers has been an Endodontist for over 25 years. All she does is Root Canals. She does them very well. She told me that she loves her job because she’s actually help clean out infection and bring healing to people’s lives and overall relief to their pain.
I have to go back to my General Dentist for the crown fitting to finish the overall procedure and I plan on thanking him for the referral. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Geers and Taina. They helped ease my anxiety and fear as well as my pain.
If you have dental insurance and need a root canal — I highly recommend going to/​getting a referral to see this wonderful woman and first-​class professional! If I could give her EIGHT Unilocal stars I would!
