Austin Root Canal Specialists

I cannot say enough great things about Dr K and his staff! Truly amazing! I’m somewhat of a «neat freak», so seeing this office neat and organized is a plus! The entire process from start to end was completely painless. I highly recommend Dr K for any root canal needs.

I called last week and made an appointment for my daughter because she was referred from another dental office. I was told I would be able to be seen that same week on Fri, which was great. I then gave my insurance information and they said they would get back to me prior to my appointment to give me an estimate of what they thought the services would cost.
Later that say day, I was called back and was told that they could not see me on Friday because apparently their pediatric dentist would not be in for another 10 days. So I said fine and explained that I was trying to get an appointment prior to my dental insurance ending on the 1^st of the month. They said no problem and that the dentist would be able to see my daughter and may even be able to do treatment the same day. Again, they reassured me they would check my insurance and give me an idea of the cost of the visit and any treatment needed etc.
Well it had been a week and I hadn’t heard from them, so I decided to call them and check up on the insurance information. When I called, they somehow were unable to find my daughter’s appointment (really?) and then they asked me which number I called. well there is only 1 number on their website, and the referral form I was given also only has 1 number, so not sure why they would be thinking I called somewhere else? I also recognized the ladies voice from the previous week so was pretty surprised they couldn’t find this appointment. Then the lady tells me she may have put in the wrong name, so she checked the date of birth, also wasn’t really able to find it. I then tried to help her remember the appointment from the previous week… well it seemed like it clicked. However, she then goes to tell me that the pediatric dentist is going on vacation until the first of the month, and that they were gonna call people later today to let them know, which is why my daughter’s appointment wasn’t on there.
All in all, I’m pretty disappointed with their scheduling coordinators. Not very professional. I have yet to meet the doctors, so I don’t have anything to say about them. Just wish they could have told me this last week so I could have gotten my current dentist to refer me out to another dentist in the meantime.

Whoohoo! Root canals! Everyone loves root canals, right? Well, you love them after you’re done anyway. ;)
I’ve learned my lesson: My family dentist had done root canals on two of my molars, one mandibular and one maxillary. Both ended up needing retreatment. Let me just say: If you’re going to get a root canal, but ESPECIALLY if you need one on a molar, GO TO A SPECIALIST. Unless you’re luck (ier) than me, you’ll save yourself aggravation.
Dr. K (the older) did a third root canal on my #3 molar last year and found a canal that my dentist missed on two previous occasions. He was very thorough; it took a long time due to the anatomy of the tooth, but I knew for sure when I walked out that the job was done right. One year later and everything is still A-​OK.
Right now I’m in the middle of retreatment for #17 by Dr K. (the younger). This one has more straightforward roots so it took less time. He found additional calcification that wasn’t cleared out prior, so I’m once again hopeful that this retreatment will be the last time I have problems.
The staff is nice and both of the brothers appear to be very competent. Five stars for a non-​fun place that’s a life saver when you need them.

Dr. K is exceptional with his services. The thing that sets him apart from all the other dentists that I’ve dealt with till day is that he makes sure you are comfortable with the procedure at all times and keeps you confident all the way. I even told him he should specialize in all the dentistry fields so that I don’t have to go anywhere else for anything!

I was in pain and the first seven in network providers I called were not very accommodating. I thought I was going to wait several days (with this unbearable pain) before I could get an appointment. When I called the Root Canal Specialists, it was like being in opposite land. Jenelle answered the phone directly (no automated system) and she was more than empathetic, she was compassionate. She said she would talk to the Dr. and give me a call back. She called me back three times in an hour and a half to assure me she was still working on it. They made an arrangement to see me that day, and the Dr, and two of his staff stayed an hour after closing to take care of me. They gave me the exact amount of my co-​pay before providing service so there would be no surprise. I’ve heard of «pain free» dentistry but never experienced it till I came here. I was actually able to relax while they were drilling one inch deep holes into my skull. I could go on, but you get the idea.

Not visit related but it is a Sunday and I am having overwhelming pain that is affecting my vision and need an emergency root canal. ARCS comes up at the top of search when searching Austin Root Canal. The website provides info on emergency situations, the voicemail greeting gives a number for after hour emergencies, yet the doctor was very off-​putting and seemingly annoyed by my call to him. I was told he won’t do it until tomorrow and to just take some ibuprofen.

What a pleasant experience I had today with Dr. K and his staff. From the moment I arrived I felt so at ease talking with them. Dr. K and his staff makes you feel like you have been going there for years. I like that environment. Dr. K also complimented a new employee during the procedure for her performance and I thought that was a sign of a good man.

Dr. K is absolutely wonderful. I recently had a very bad infection and had my whole face swell up. He got me in there the next day to help drain the fluid and I immediately felt better. Today I got the actual root canal procedure and I can’t believe I was so worried about it. Dr. K made sure I was never in any pain and paid attention to my stress levels. He and the staff really helped me out when I was feeling pretty horrible and I would recommend his services to anyone who unfortunately needs a root canal.

f I ever need another root canal, I will go to Austin Root Canal Specialist! It was a great experience! They were all very nice and very attentive to my situation. Not to mention Dr K was very up front in telling me exactly what to expect. I have had other dental work done at other places and did not have a good experience. Dr K and his staff are wonderful and I would recommend them highly! Thanks!!!

I never loved going to anywhere that was medical related. But I have to say that after arriving at this office, I felt a little bit relieved.
The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. I felt as if I was actually visiting someone’s home because the atmosphere is very homey and doesn’t make you feel like you are walking into a doctor’s office.
Staff:
The staff was absolutely amazing. The front desk receptionist was outstanding from the time I made an appointment to the actual day of the procedure. She got me signed in smoothly and I didn’t even feel overwhelmed with the new patient sign in procedure. My favorite part about checking in was that this office is all paper-​less!
As soon as I finished checking in, I sat down for not even a second and the assistants were ready to see me immediately! I hate waiting forever at the doctor’s office, but they were quick! The assistants were EXTREMELY friendly. I was so nervous, but these assistants talked to you as if they knew you for years, which calmed my nerves. The assistants went over my medical history and took x-​rays before the doctor saw me.
Doctor & Procedure:
Dr. Khosravian was so kind. He went over the x-​rays that we took and he was so clear about everything. I’m not a medical guru and I don’t understand medical jargon, but he really broke down everything down to where I knew exactly what was going on. He is very honest in his medical opinions, so it makes me feel reassured that he isn’t only trying to get some money out of me, but he truly cares for my teeth. Once the procedure started, he made sure I was extremely numb before he even started anything. The procedure was quick and painless, something I can definitely say I’m grateful for. The assistant and doctor really made me feel less nervous because they tried to make me as comfortable as possible.
Overall:
No one likes to go to the doctor’s, let alone get a root canal, but if I had to get another one, I would go here without hesitation. Wonderful atmosphere, staff, and doctor! I would recommend it to anyone!

Dr. K and his very friendly staff are fantastic ! No one wants to get a root canal but if you must than this is the man to do it. Dr. K is truly a specialist and will go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and informed with every step of the procedure. His South Austin office is very clean, comfortable, and relaxing with calming music and beautiful bright open windows. If you do have the misfortune of needing a root canal do yourself a favor and go to the best !

I was treated with great care from the moment I was referred to Dr. K. Let’s face it — nobody wants to get a root canal. But I can say out of the 3 that I have had, this was the most pleasant experience.
