Dr Hiri Etessami is definitely the best of the best! That's exactly what I looked for and I'm so thankful that I found him. He is a genuinely sweet, wonderful person and a very smart, talented and precise doctor. He is very thorough, gentle and careful. I didn't feel any pain at all. His office staff are extremely nice, helpful, competent and accommodating. Everyone there treats clients and each other with the utmost respect and kindness. They made sure I was comfortable during the entire process of my first root canal, even checking to make sure I was warm enough. Dr Etessami and his staff definitely went above and beyond to make it a positive experience for me. They even called the next day to check how I was feeling. I felt completely fine and didn't need any ibuprofen or anything at all. I highly recommend Dr Hiri Etessami and I'm so grateful for him.
