Srinivasan Sunil R, DDS

Most people would rather dig a ditch in the blazing desert sun than get a root canal. Well let me tell you, after visiting Dr. Sunil, you’ll never think of digging a ditch again…
Dr. Srinivasan and his staff are absolutely top notch. Beyond his years of experience, diagnostic ability and technical prowess, his «chair side manner» is second to none. Dr. Sunil’s assistant Maggie is a total rock star! The front office is as welcoming as can be. Door prizes? After my procedure, I was given a calendar and lip balm to boot!
If you are faced with the unfortunate situation of needing a root canal, make Dr. Sunil your «go to guy»; sure beats digging a ditch in the noonday sun.

I saw Dr. Srinivasan a few years ago and again today — I must say every experience with this person is the best. Very professional, very knowledgeable, and very kind.
He does not sell «up» any procedures, and in fact, he gives you very professional advise about what your options are, and what is best for your situation. His calming style puts all your worries at ease.
I was late to his appointment time because I accidentally forgot to put it in my calendar and they fit me in the same day. They will absolutely flex around schedules to make room for that unplanned emergency visit!
You can’t go wrong at all with Dr. Srinivasan. 5 starts and two thumbs way up!

I recently went to Dr. Sunil’s office for a root canal procedure. The front office personnel (Kristen) was very pleasant and accommodating in helping me complete my paperwork. Dr. Sunil’s assistant (Maggie) is as good as it gets. Her «bedside» manner is extremely relaxing and makes you forget that you are actually in a dentist’s chair! Dr. Sunil is an incredible dentist as he is extremely gentle and his calm demeanor keeps your anxiety level to a minimum. Throughout the entire root canal procedure, Dr. Sunil kept me apprised of what he was doing and continuously asked if I was doing alright. I didn’t feel any pain whatsoever during the procedure and was completely relaxed. At he conclusion, he met with me again before l left to ensure that I was ok and understood all of the follow-​up instructions. I would recommend Dr. Sunil to anyone needing dental work, including family and friends.

I went to Dr. Sunil after finding his practice through Unilocal so I thought it would be fitting to write a review. Dr. Sunil and his staff were very professional and courteous during each of my visits. He took care of a botched root canal from several years back within half an hour. He works very gracefully and cleanly, and at the end you start feeling better almost immediately.

Dr. Sunil is one of a kind in this day in age when many health care providers treat just the patient and not the human being who is seeing him under very painful circumstances.
Not only is he incredible at what he eventually achieves but the journey getting there is not filled with fear from not being totally confident in his capabilities within his field.
The entire staff, not just one or two, again a rarity, are warm, professional, and very knowledgeable .
I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt I would be doing the public a helpful deed when looking for a dentist in this field!
Even if you have to drive from San Francisco or Morgan Hill, you won’t be sorry but very grateful.

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Sunil. I had had one root canal last year with him and it went fine, however, I never had any pain associated with that tooth either before or after. This year was a totally different story. I had a crown done on a monday with my dentist and had increasing pain through the night requiring pain killers to sleep. Tues am I was at Dr. Sunil’s office at 11am for an emergency root canal. I have very sensitive teeth and I asked Dr. S if he could cover my other teeth in wax as my other dentist does. He said the rubber dam would be enough. That is like saying use an umbrella in sub zero weather to stay warm… I have a medical condition that causes dry mouth and hence my teeth are super sensitive. He started the root canal and I could feel him ramming the rod into my tooth. I was having 8 – 9 out of 10 pain at this point, asked for more numbing, and got some but it didn’t touch the pain. I started crying from the pain, and was having trouble breathing as my nose was stuffed, and the rubber dam was essentially blocking any mouth breathing. Dr. Sunil yelled at me «talk to me, what is wrong, keep breathing, you are going to hyperventilate!!! I had to explain that it was very painful and that I couldn’t breathe with the current set up. I had come at 11am and I didn’t leave until 1:30pm. Little did I know that the assistant put the temporary crown back on my tooth and did not seat it well. It stuck out so that the tooth got pounded on from the opposing teeth every time I chewed or closed my mouth. I was still on vicodin throughout the week and by friday, 3 days later, I was in 10 out of 10 pain and went back to see my dentist who figured out the temporary crown was not seated far enough down. I had to take vicodin for another week and then 4 advils 3 – 4 times a day for another 2 weeks. I was finally able to cut back on the advil a month after he terrorized me. It was an awful experience both from a technical and interpersonal aspect. I would not recommend this dentist.

Dr Sunil was so kind with my anxiety and fears about the root canal. It’s been many years since my last root canal, and I have huge fears about anything dental. It went as he described, he was very gentle and I left thinking the worse part of the whole thing was the pre-​anxiety that I put on myself. I love Dr Sunil and his staff is so caring too… it was as good as an experience getting a root canal can be!

Sunil is the best.
Both my wife and I have been to the doctor’s office a total of three times. Not only is he extremely skilled and virtually pain-​free, he’s just plain a nice guy.
We recommend him highly.

I haven’t had a root canal in 10 years and just had one yesterday. Dr Sunil was very kind a was his staff. The procedure went exactly as expected. He was very gentle and kind. Great bed side manners and even better technical skill. Pain free for me. I’d def recommend him to my family and friends.

for somebody who was threatened unnecessarily with an emergency root canal at 11 years old, i was very frightened when i was told i finally (really) needed one at age 29. but to my surprise, my experience with dr. sunil was extremely pleasant. he made me feel very comfortable and made sure that it was my decision as to whether or not to proceed with the treatment, since it was not urgent. i think i actually fell asleep during the root canal itself — there was no pain, and very mild jaw soreness afterwards, not unlike having a regular cavity filled. since i have genetically horrible teeth, i’m sure at some point in my life i will need another root canal, and when i do, i will certainly return to dr. sunil.

Dr. Sunil was recommended by my regular dentist for evaluation of a possible abcess or cyst. Office was extremely nice and professional. All other patients visiting had excellent rapport with entire staff. Dr. Sunil performed a root canal necessary prior to further evalution at another facililty. I have had at least 3 or 4 root canals, his was the fasted and had the least amount of drilling. I’m not sure how advance his tools are but I did not have to experience the loud sound of extensive drilling, or tooth fragments flying around, or the constant feel of prodding tools. Best root canal ever! Yes, really… Office staff also flexible with payment plans.
