I just got done with my 1st of 2 appts for my first ever root canal. I’m a pretty anxious person who has a bad rap with dentists in general. All the staff and the doctor here is extremely nice, very caring, and extremely patient. I’m so happy that they are here and genuinely take care of their patients.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting 2 root canals in as many months by Dr. Stephens and his team this year. To say it was a pleasure is barely even an exaggeration! These folks make getting a root canal as easy as a cleaning at other offices!
Of course, nobody wants to get a root canal. But, if you do need one, do yourself a favor. Get it done here.
5.0 star Yelp rating – Scott K. Seattle – 9/13/2020

I highly recommend Dr. James R Stephens and his team, if you require any type of endodontic care. Dr. Stephens and his team are the benchmark, by which all endodontic doctors should be compared. It will be overly apparent from your first visit, that their primary concern is their patients. They go above and beyond to deliver quality care. They provide extremely skilled, compassionate, and gentle care. On a scale of 1- 5 stars I would give them 100, they are that good!!!

James R. Stephens, D.D.S., M.Sc.D. and his staff Crystal, who is an angel and Cheryl also angelic, have given me 10 star care. My molar, was a big challenge. The many treatments necessary because of calcified roots, an infection and waiting too long for treatment were handled with professional concern, intense technical care and accepting supportive interpersonal interactions. I now have a fantastic outcome; a tooth saved one root at a time. I have given them a glowing report to my family dentist who referred me. She said, “Didn’t I tell you he (Dr. Stephens) is the BEST!”

“Dr.Stephens is a true master of his art, I was in Europe with a terrible toothache and flew back with no notice and he took care of my problem immediately. No matter where I will end up you are my Endo, thanks again!”
Happy Patient as seen on Yelp!
