Fernando Solano, DDS

OK so no one likes dental procedures, right? Well I have a tooth that has been a problem for 30 years! To try and fix it for good, Dr. Solano performed an endodontic microsurgery on it and I couldn’t have been more nervous! I was a mess when I showed up and Dr. Solano and his staff were all just awesome! They calmed me down, (a job in itself!) and Dr. Solano performed the surgery in 30 minutes with no pain! It was a success! The recovery was exactly as they said and went fairly smooth. I went back today to have my stitches out and once again I arrived nervous. Lana removed those babies like it was nothing! Woohoo! I’m done and a big shout out to Dr. Solano and his staff!!!

oh gosh — another root canal! But I get to see Dr. Solano again! And his staff are so nice too! If you need a root canal, you won’t find a better place to get one! Dr. Solano & staff are always friendly, nice and so efficient! I don’t remember ever being so numb before — he gives good shots! It was nice to be pain-​free and when the numbness wore off, no more pain. Took about an hour because of his expertise. I’ve had root canals that took multiple appointments — never with Dr. Solano! Always short appointments, saving me alot of time. Never had any problems with the root canals HE’S done! Love it!!!

Dr. Solano is an amazing dentist. My root canal was pain free & he was very friendly. He explained everything that I was to expect after my root canal. Great chair side manner. His staff was also very friendly & efficient. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a root canal :)

My experience with Dr. Solano was amazing. Dr. Michael Hinh is my General Dentist and he referred me to Dr. Solano’s office. Exceptional people refer only exceptional people! I had what you call a «hot tooth» and the pain was unmanageable no matter how much medication I was given. This tooth would not numb for nothing. Dr. Solano did what he had to do to get the nerve out, all the while I was agonizing and exclaiming my pain, not fun or an easy task for him. This was very stressful for all. But due to his calm nature and jaw dropping focus, my root canal was a success. The office staff was amazing too. They are an undeniable cohesive team. Lona was with me on my second visit of completing the root canal. You can only imagine my fear due to my experience from the first visit. She was a complete doll with her amazing comforting skills, walking me through each step. I felt like a three year old, but it was just what I needed. Thank you Lona!

One of my best dental experiences yet for a Root Canal.
Front desk was friendly, and had me fill out paperwork. After minimal wait I was brought in and setup by a friendly dental assistant.
Dr. Solano came in shortly after, told me what was up, and proceeded to numb me and do my root canal. No pain, and a short 20 minutes later the procedure was complete.
I could tell Dr. Solano is an expert in the field, and was very friendly and knowledgable. His bedside manner was soothing as well, or perhaps it was just the narco I ate before going to the office.
Definitely would recommend. After my dental insurance it cost me about $ 250, and then I will have to get a crown, but that is standard for root canals.

I have had a few root canals prior to this by both general dentists and root canal specialists and this is the best experience I have had by far.
The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. After filling out the paperwork and a minimal wait, I was brought in and seated in the chair. The dental assistant (I think this is the correct term) was friendly, knowledgeable, polite and explained what she was doing the entire time throughout the process.
Dr. Solano was fantastic. Super friendly and you could definitely tell that he is an expert in his field. The procedure was quick and painless. Afterwards, they explained how I needed to care for the area in the coming days and how to eliminate any discomfort should any arise.
I can’t get over how great and friendly they were.
This review is a couple week later and I didn’t experience any issues or pain, which is EXACTLY what you want from a root canal specialist.
5 out of 5 stars is the ONLY rating to give Dr. Solano!
Thank you!

A dentist who specializes in root canals… and who has a five star rating. That says it all.
My dentist sent me to Dr. Solano for a root canal on my crowned molar today. Let me say that I was less than excited about the prospect of having this procedure. But I was amazed at how fast and painless it was! Dr. Solano is clearly a highly skilled expert in this area. I didn’t feel a thing and I was done in less than an hour. During my visit, I interacted with several of his staff and they were all super nice and very professional. If you have to have a root canal… Don’t worry! Go see Dr. Solano and you’ll be in good hands.

I was very apprehensive about having a root canal. Like everybody, I had always heard people say things like «I’d rather have a root canal than that!», referring to something bad. I was surprised that there wasn’t more pain. My regular dentist sent me to Dr. Solano for the root canal because he determined that the crown I had on that tooth had a cavity underneath it and it had to be done before he could put a replacement crown on it. Dr. Solano explained the whole procedure to me and then numbed me up real good. I never felt any pain from the work he did, so that was a relief. Initially, I thought the price was pretty high, but I guess it’s right in the range for California and with a molar. Plus, endodontists have to have an additional two years of education and training to do what they do. The parking sucks and you have to park on the street with a meter but I was lucky and didn’t get a parking ticket. The visit was over in about an hour and fifteen minutes so that was pretty efficient. It took about six hours for the anesthesia to wear off so I could have something to eat, then only soup because he cautioned against chewing on it. I definitely would recommend him.

Dr. Solano is the greatest. I never feel any pain. He is very thorough and explains every step very well. His assistants are very sweet. The front office is very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this office to everyone.

My dentist referred me to Dr. Solano for a root canal. I was seen at 6600 Madison Ave., Suite 2, which is a sister location to the one on 26^th St. The front desk person, dental assistant, and Dr. Solano were all friendly and professional. My root canal didn’t hurt at all, and seems to have been properly done. Why no fifth star? The price! Over $ 1200 for one hour of work by two people? That seems a bit dear. Especially since I had to have a permanent cap installed by my dentist a week later at a cost of ANOTHER 190-​something dollars. I know there are Porsche payments to be made, but damn.

After a few negative experiences with Endo’s, this Dr was INCREDIBLE. Both times I felt virtually nothing from start to finish. I agree with Steph P., very detail oriented, organized, and composed.
I will never go to anyone else for a root canal PERIOD.

Gosh he is sooo beautiful, I would let him pull all my teeth. Seriously, he did a great job on my root canal tooth number 31. I went back and thought the tooth was still painful along with another tooth but when another greatly qualified Dr at this location fixed that tooth – all pain was gone. Dr Solano explained that the nerves cross each other when you are in pain and it may seem that there is pain coming from more than one tooth. As it turned out the tooth that bothered me the most was the only one that WAS actually bothering me at all. I would say that all Dr’s at this location are highly qualified and take you in on a holiday! I am very thankful. I thought I was gonna die that day.

Bears all the hallmarks of an excellent doctor — attention to detail, great explanations and familiarity with his trade. Very kind too. If I were a betting girl, I’d say he probably keeps himself up-​to-​date on research in endo. So yes, a good person for a root canal or all other sundry things endodontists do.

Was referred by my dentist for a root canal to Dr Solano. I’m sure anyone who hasn’t had a root canal has heard the horror stories. I was terrified. I went to have the root canal and simply could not do it so I rescheduled. Everyone at the office was cool and didn’t make me feel like an a-​hole for not being able to go through with it. After experiencing the worst pain in my life, the day came to get my root canal. While sitting in the chair I explained that I didn’t think I could go through with it but Dr. Solano was so great in making me comfortable and we went for it. He explained every little thing that he was doing and I honestly felt relaxed. It took about 40 mins for the total procedure and I was able to eat almost immediately. Pain was gone and I felt like a new human. All in all, this experience was a great one. It made me fear major dental work about thousand times less. Dr Solano is awesome and such a compassionate person.
