Shalev Daniel DDS

I was referred to Dr Morris, by my dentist, for a root canal. I was initially given an appointment 3 weeks out, but thankfully, someone must have cancelled and I was able to get in the next day.
I was extremely worried about the procedure and all the pain that could be involved. Dr. Morris and his wonderful assistant Narrissa, were a true blessing. They were better than you could ever imagine — understanding, kind, knowledgeable, and very concerned for my comfort.
I hope you never have to get a root canal, but should you have to, I HIGHLY recommend seeing Dr Morris.

I scheduled an appointment to have a tooth evaluated and treated with Dr. Shalev because my dentist said I most likely needed a root canal on the tooth. I was fully expecting to get a root canal because that is what my dentist said i would need done, but she doesn’t do that type of work. I have never had anything done to my teeth other than regular cleanings and having my wisdom teeth taken out about 15 years ago.
Dr. Shalev did an evaluation and said my back tooth was cracked and I had an infection at the bottom of my tooth. He took his time to educate me on the structure of the tooth and showed me the x-​rays that were taken and explained that there was an infection at the bottom of the tooth. He said I could get a root canal or the other alternative was to get the tooth pulled. He said going the root canal route without insurance would cost a couple thousand dollars because you will then have to get a crown and follow-​up with it. I could opt for the extraction and it would probably be a couple hundred dollars or so. He said that I wouldn’t need to replace the tooth with an implant if I didn’t want because it was my back tooth. He said I would want to get an implant if it was a front tooth or cornerstone tooth, which it wasn’t. But that was up to me. He did say that if I had the tooth extracted without adding an implant that the tooth above it could go down because of gravity.
I really appreciated Dr. Shalev’s honestly in giving me the options, helping me to watch out for my wallet. I would have never thought of extraction had he not brought it up; I was fully expecting to have a root canal but I opted to have the tooth pulled. I asked if he pulls teeth and unfortunately he said he didn’t. He said that he’ll send a report to my dentist. He did however give me some antibiotics for the pain. I asked lots of questions and he was very patient and answered every question I had. I liked that he did seem rushed at all and took his time with me.

Dr Shalev is awesome !! I wish I could go to him for all my dental needs. I have been a patient for several years and hate anything being done to my mouth. I have a fear of dental dams and he did my root canal and surgery with no dam. I would highly recommend him anytime. The staff is also wonderful and friendly, Very clean office !!

Getting a root canal is NOT a fun experience… but if you have to do it, I definitely recommend Dr. Morris! Actually he was pretty incredible.
I was recommended by Dr. Dorilag. I came in a few minutes late, because I had a meeting right before my appointment. Filled out the forms and was shown in to Dr. Morris. Dr. Morris is such a SUPER nice guy – easy going, fun to talk to, cares about your concerns. I spent probably 10 mins just asking him questions about why my tooth root was infected/​decaying and how to prevent it in the future, and also about what he was going to do to fix it. Because of the extensive decay he thought it might need extraction, but was going to try his best to keep it if he could get rid of the infection. I told him unfortunately I had booked a client meeting right after the appointment, and he assured me I’d be out in time – which meant he took probably less than 45 mins for the whole procedure (because honestly I had delayed us with all my questions, and being a bit late), and even paused MID-​PROCEDURE to let me send an email on my phone letting someone know I’d be there right on the dot after my procedure. I mean, I practically could not have been more of an inconvenience for him, and yet he accommodated everything very pleasantly and had me out when I needed to be!
When I went in again for my checkup, he was super friendly and nice again, genuinely caring about how everything had developed, if I had any more questions, etc. Honestly I’m amazed someone can be so skilled, talented, and efficient, and still be so accommodating and kind!
Great experience all around. Minus the actual HAVING A ROOT CANAL part and all.

My experience was NOT as positive as that of the other reviewers. I’d been referred to Dr. Shalev by my dentist for some sudden extreme and painful sensitivity in the entire lower left quadrant of my mouth. I was kept waiting in a freezing office (the hygienist DID give me a blanket) for 45 minutes, until Dr. Shalev deigned to put in an appearance. He seemed rushed and disinterested. I told him what my symptoms were, and explained that I was puzzled because the pain was not consistent; «it comes and goes, seemingly without reason…» he started tapping on my teeth, and when I winced, he sneered, «that tooth didn’t hurt a minute ago, but it hurts NOW?» I almost shouted at him, «ISN’T THAT WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU?» He said «I can’t diagnose you… you need a periodontist… it’s not the tooth… it’s nerve pain… it might be a tumor!!! I’ll give you a referral.» and then he was gone. He practically left skid marks. He was a real jerk with NO bedside manner at all.
I felt sorry for the women working in his office; they seemed nice. He was a real asshat.

Dr. Miller was a gentle and kind dentist, they used microscopes, took lots of X-​rays and made sure the job was done right. I was even offered a blanket and they used a dental dam which was nice as it keeps most of the taste and chemicals out of your mouth, i felt lucky that the hardest part was the numbing shot

I have unfortunately had root canals in the past with residual pain and extreme sensitivity for a long time after the procedures. I went to Dr. Shalev for an urgently needed root canal a few years ago and I never had the problems of the past when he finished his work. He did a first class job; so grateful for that!!!

EXCELLENT!!! My first root canal went so smooth. Three cheers for Dr. Shalev and his staff.

Excellent service and care! I called in and was given an appointment within 30 minutes! The were able to not only SQUEEZE us in, but they gave my husband a root canal the same day all within 2 hrs! Excellent is all i can say! Thank you Dr. Morris!

This is my second time to visit this dental office for root canal. Everyone here is very friendly and welcoming. Dr Morris is a super nice guy. He made me feel comfortable and relax during the surgery. Office is very nice and clean. They also have very high tech equipment. This is definitely the best dental endodontics I would recommend it to all my family and friends.
