Eugene I Sugita, DDS

I would give Dr. Sugita more stars if that was possible! I came to see him in an incredible amount of pain and needed a root canal. I was terrified of dentists hence the need to see a specialist. My experience with Dr. Sugita and his staff could not have been better with a knowledgeable support office staff, experienced and kind assistant and the most caring and gentle doctor. Dr. Sugita was honest, informative, and thorough. My comfort was his top priority. My teenager needed a root canal and the dentist gave me referral but would not dream of taking my daughter to anyone other than Dr. Sugita! I only wish he was a general dentist!

Amazing endodontist. Great office, great staff, GREAT Doctor. You can trust this man. He is gentle, methodical and non hurtful (I am a bit of a scaredy cat!) I can not say enough about him. I would say feel 150% confident going here. Very caring. I just can’t say enough words. I was referred to an oral surgeon after Dr. Sugita saw my tooth was beyond saving and as with Dr. Stone I so appreciate the candor and honesty that a root canal would be a band aid not a real fix. THANK YOU.

Wow, echoing other Unilocalers who have been to Dr. Sugita let me just add, wow! There’s general dentists and then there’s the specialists — endodontic. Whenever you’re facing a root canal I highly, highly recommend that you see a specialist vice leaving this complex procedure to your general dentist. I wish I had known this several years ago when my general dentist (since fired) screwed up the root canal procedure. I promptly changed dentists and my new dentist referred my repair procedures to a specialist, Dr. Sugita. Wow, seeing San Diego Endodontics offices made me feel like I’d entered a suite of new, best technology dental equipment. Meeting Dr. Sugita I immediately knew I was in the best possible hands. So Unilocalers, don’t short change yourself — give your teeth the best possible care with Dr. Sugita!

I just had to have some work redone and I want to tell the World this is the best Dentist that exists, I so wish he did general dentistry…
If you need Dr. Sugita’s type of service don’t hesitate, you will be most pleased… and no, I am not related, just thought people should know.

Bar none this was the BEST Dentist I have ever come across and I have been to many in many different cities… You will not be disappointed if you go to Dr.
Sugita…his Office staff is just a nice and helpful as he is, why not «Attitude» always
starts at the top…

Outstanding endodontist. Caring and communicates well about any procedures he’ll perform. Root canals are not fun, but Dr. Sugita makes you feel comfortable and confident about the outcome. I highly recommend him.

I was referred to Dr. Sugita about a year ago by my dentist — my tooth was hurting, so I came in to my regular dentist. He was able to stop the pain and fill the canals temporarily until I can see Dr. Sugita. I was in dread of my first root canal…
Dr. Sugita’s assistant, Heather, was very pleasant and easy to talk to. She asked a lot of questions about my tooth pain. Dr. Sugita was also very nice! The procedure was not as bad as I thought it would be. I told him that I had a low tolerance for pain and also that I had a fairly fast metabolism, thus I asked him to give me the longer-​acting anesthetic (6 hrs vs 2 hrs). He didn’t try to tell me that I was wrong or anything! He did what I requested. He also kept asking if I was comfortable throughout the procedure and let me know that I can take a break at any time. He was very patient with me because I did take a few breaks (my jaw was getting sore and tired). Overall, I felt no pain and Dr. Sugita was very good and thorough.
I highly recommend Dr. Sugita for anyone needing a root canal. I haven’t needed another root canal since, but I know where I would go to if I ever do!

Now let me start out by saying, there is nothing pleasant about needing a root canal!
Having got that out of the way I’d like to say that should I ever again find myself in this terrible predicament I’d be comforted by knowing that I could turn to Dr. Sugita!
I was in terrible pain for weeks when my general Dentist informed me that as I feared I would require a root canal. He referred me to Dr. Sugita’s office, and they were able to see me within hours.
Dr. Sugita’s staff was very pleasant and comforting, and Dr. Sugita’s chair side manner was probably the best I have encountered. He talked me through every step of the procedure in terms he knew I’d be able to understand. He made sure to anesthetize me as soon as possible to get me out of pain before continuing a rather engaging conversation ranging from modern dentistry to his early experience in computer programming before Dental school.
I had no pain and only minor discomfort during the procedure, but the Dr was very conscious of my comfort, stopping regularly to ask if I needed to take a break.
The office took my insurance, and today I received a check from them in the mail, apparently my insurance paid more that they thought and they made no haste in getting my money back in my hands.
After my experience with Dr. Sugita’s office, I only wish he performed other services so Id have the chance to visit more regularly.
If you’re unfortunate enough to require a root canal, I highly recommend Dr. Sugita to turn your experience around.
