I am astonished at the low reviews. My experience at this dental office was top tier. I am a former dental assistant and this is the BEST experience at a dental office I have ever had. The technology is modern, the office was beautiful, clean, and made me feel comfortable. His assistant answered all of my questions and told me what to expect. The doctor himself, Dr. Gaitan was extremely professional and careful. I didn't even feel the shots in my gums to numb! He used a latex cover that prevented pieces of the tooth from falling into my mouth which often happens during dental procedures. He and his assistant worked so efficiently together they didn't even need to speak to each other. Quick, painless and professional. If I ever need another root canal I will return 100%. I wish all of my dental experiences were like this.Posted on Google Tina SartorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice dr and staff. Was very gentle and explained everything great.Posted on Google LeoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were referred here for a root canal, maybe two. Pleasant staff and happy over all. The doctor explained everything during the consultation and we talked over some questions. The assistants and office staff were great. The office was accommodating as we needed nitrous for the visit. I have no idea about why some of the reviews are way off about this place. Also, all “paperwork” is digital, which is a nice change.Posted on Google Bradley DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Gaitan was exceptional. I was very nervous (as always when going to dentist 😬) and Dr. Gaitan was very professional with great bedside manners, which helped ease my nerves. His assistant was also great. Big thank you to Lake Houston Endodontics!
