Several things made Dr. Asrari stand out from other dentists I have seen in the past: First, Dr. Asrari took the time to talk to me about the root canal (over 15 minutes). As a nervous patient, this helped tremendously to not only understand what she was going to do, but to feel at ease about the procedure. Second, the procedure was comfortable - it wasn't painless - but for a root canal on a back molor she made the experience pleasant. Third, Dr. Asrari's staff was great - friendly but professional. Fourth, the office is fabulous - spa meets art museum. Although the root canal did seem expensive - over $900 and I have no insurance - Dr. Asrari offered to spread the cost over two payments. Overall, having a root canal by Dr. Asrari was a positive experience. Although I hope I never have to have another root canal, if I do, I will definitely go back to Dr. Asrari.
