Ronald J Fair, DDS, MPH

I just got home from an emergency root canal with Dr. Fair, and I’m still in shock because the most painful part was the injection for the anesthetic. Wonderful, helpful staff, state-​of-​the-​art tools — all around amazing experience, and that’s not something I ever thought I’d say after getting a root canal. 100% recommend.

Horrible, horrible experience I had root canal last year and my tooth still hurt a lot, my new doctor tell me I need to redone my root canal so I went to dr. fair and he tell me my tooth is ok, but is not because is still hurt, and I’m still on pain .I don’t recommend this Dr. he’s terrible :((worse doctor ever.

I love Dr. Fair. Believe me, I have been to numerous doctors in the Bay Area for root canals, as I unfortunately seem to get an abscessed tooth about every five years. He is the very best, the most pain-​free and his staff is especially nice in my experience. Root canals are no picnic but I won’t go anywhere else now. He is the one I trust and recommend.

I have NEVER been so thankful for a Root Canal! Dr. Fair and his staff got me in on an emergency basis just before the 4^th of July Holiday! They literally rearranged all their non emergency appointments so I could fit into their already booked schedule. NO PAIN!!! During or after the entire procedure– after the worst pain in my life! His skill and his soothing staff ROCK! He discussed options and was very calm, reassuring and honest I hope not to need more root canals but if I do… I know where to go!!!

My experience here was great. Always cheerful and professional. Asked if I could wear earphones during root canal– wanted me to be as comfortable as possible. Office is clean and relaxing. He only performs endodontic procedures so final tooth restoration is completed by your general dentist.

Dr Fair and his staff are as professional and personable as it gets. I wish all my Doctors were as good. If you ever need a root canal, go here in a hurry.

I have had the misfortune of needing a few root canals. Dr. Fair was referred to me by my primary dentist about 4 – 5 years ago. He was quick, friendly and efficient. His office is basic but honestly I want to get in and out?! My entire root canal took about an hour? There was ZERO pain.
Right before this past Christmas I had shooting pain that affected my entire right jaw. My dentist quickly diagnosed the problem and tried to call in a few favors to get me seen before the holiday. The best he could do was 3 days later as Christmas was days away and people were leaving town. I called Dr Fair and they took me later that afternoon. It turned out to be a much more intensive root canal and required more than one appointment however within the first appointment he did enough that the pain was gone and I actually enjoyed the holiday before returning to finish it.
I’m not too worried about office décor, his staff has always been friendly, efficient and accomodating. His work is precise, accurate and he his well-​practiced so the procedure is fast. I would use him without hesitation for any future root canals (knock on wood, I’m done!)

I was an emergency case and was transferred over to Dr. Fair for a root canal. The infection I had was bad and hit very suddenly. The staff at the front desk were polite and helpful with my questions. I was informed fully about what they were going to do. Dr. Fair himself is a very nice man. A bit annoying at times (mainly when he’s talking to you and working at the same time).
He fixed the problem and I actually fell asleep while he was jack hammering into my skull. I’ve had some lousy dentists, but he isn’t one of them. He always tried to make me feel comfortable and made damn sure I had enough pain killers both during and afterwards. His staff even calls a couple days later to make sure everything is okay.
He sadly costs a pretty penny if you don’t have health insurance, but it’s worth it for good service.

This is a root canal tooth factory run by a Dentist that has little regard for patients and works as fast as he can on more than one person.
He is an obnoxious little man with dyed hair, a huge white rolex watch that was disjointed when I asked which school he had attended. He said Harvard, and Harvard Dental School then asked where I had gone to school. I mentioned a few Universities. He first said he had graduated from reform school so I said well you have done well. He made an attemp to insult me but backed off his freudian slip. I went to his office where they asked if I had insurance, was able to pay, filled out a long history of questions that were none of his business so i left them blank.
I then was shown to a tiny little room to sit and wait for his excellency.
An assistant said she had to take an xray… I told her my referring Dentist
had done that but she said they relied on their own. She took the xray and said I’ll be back. 45 minutes later she made an appearemce and I asked her what is going on here. She said we have an emergency so the Doctor is behind. Later Dr. Faire shows up and whispers he had to work on this man I could see from my cubicle that had 3 moth’s to live.
He told the man they had to clean the excess filling on his teeth he should wait. I then asked him” have you washed your hands” which he quickly did. He then went on this lament as to whether I should spend money trying to save the tooth. He was of the opinion the cost was not worth it. At that point I said thank you and left. The office is a 3^rd rate
low maintenance operation that I would stay away from at all cost.
This gentleman is trying to make as much money as he can from people who do not have choice. Fortunately, I do so I am going to find a clean office with a competent person, physically and mentally.
