I had my first of two root canals with Dr Etessami. He is in my mind the perfect choice. No pain, no stress, and very verbose about the process.I even received a phone call from him later that evening, to see how I was feeling. Then a second, from one of the ladies in his office the following day. Strange as it sounds, I'm looking forward to him doing the second root canal because I know he will make it a very comfortable experience.
