"Everyone here was so kind to me when I was very anxious. My treatment was speedy and painless and I very much appreciated the follow up the day after to check on me. I won't go anywhere else for my endodontic needs!"
"Dr Cohenca is truly a miracle worker! I had my first root canal today at age 68. I am the biggest baby in the world. It was so quick and easy and no pain. I highly recommend him if you need a root canal. He is beyond amazing! Thank you so much."
"I have always been terrified of the idea of a root canal and never thought that I would actually require the procedure. I had a crown seated earlier in the year and knew that it was doomed from the start. When I developed a bump above the gumline over the tooth, I knew it was not going to be an easy fix. Boy, was I wrong. Dr. Nawari quickly diagnosed the issue with a set of x-rays and got straight to work. The process was complete in an hour and was incredibly easy. Dr. Nawari and Dulce were so kind and kept me comfortable and informed throughout. I was given headphones to connect to my phone/Spotify and the procedure was displayed on a screen for me to watch, if I chose to do so. Another set of x-rays concluded the procedure and confirmed that all was looking great, now! I can see why they have such a high rating - they are absolute superstars and so incredibly kind and understanding. Their amazing office administrator, Julie, kindly gave me some thoughtful recommendations for general providers on my way out, as I mentioned to her that I was seeking new general dentistry care. I would not hesitate to come back here for future work, though I hope it's not necessary! I HIGHLY recommend Prime Endodontics and that is coming from someone who is on the upper end of the anxiety scale!"
"I had the most positive experience here getting my root canal done. When scheduling an appointment, I was surprised how soon it could be scheduled (next day or in a couple of days). Dr. Cohenca is incredibly professional. Before doing the procedure, he performed diagnostic tests in order to be 100% sure that root canal treatment is exactly what I needed. He took great care to inform me of what was going on with my tooth, what he was going to do during the procedure, and answered all my questions. I was also very positively surprised on his technique of administering the local anesthesia. The numbing gel helped with the uncomfortable shot and he took great care to add anesthesia in small bits to make sure I felt no pain. The procedure itself was practically painless and I was provided with chapstick, a blanket, and headphones to put on music from my phone. Very happy with my experience here and 100% recommend Dr. Cohenca."
"Professional, excellent customer service, easy to schedule. Most importantly, I felt reassured to be taken care of by a highly skilled, kind clinician."
"I had my second root canal in a week performed by a very caring and skilled Dr. Cohenca. I can honestly say the experience was much easier and painless than I feared. In fact it was a lot like getting a cavity filled, just takes longer, about an hour. I was able to leave the office and go for a pain-free cold smoothie on the way home! The Dr. clearly explained the procedure with images, and I could see the before and after X-rays. He was assisted by skilled and compassionate professionals who made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The front desk staff is very competent as well."
"If you need a root canal, look no further. Dr Cohenca is the only endodontist I will go to for root canals. I have had so many traumatic ones over the years, but for my last 2(which were repairs of old root canals), he fixed me right up. So professional, yet so sweet and caring. I believe him to be the best out there! He is honest and lets you know exactly what is going on, as well as having a dental office with the latest and greatest technology so you can even watch your own procedure."
"Was able to visit this clinic in two different occasions and I recommend Prime Endodontics, very professional staff, very caring, they made sure I was comfortable and my dental procedure was excellent, I Receive a post-op call after each visit to check on my progress, that is something I really appreciate. My dentist informed me that he refer me to this clinic because of the good comments and excellent ratings, I can confirm that it is true and I do recommend this clinic."
"Dr. Cohenca is so highly skilled & excellent at what he does. I had a very challenging root canal, and was very anxious. I needn’t have been - I experienced very minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. His staff was great - just couldn’t have asked for more. I would recommend Dr. Cohenca highly!!"
"I have had nothing but positive experiences at Prime Endodontics. Dr.Sahrd Nawari was especially adept at explaining the procedures and monitoring my comfort level and anxiety. have seen both doctors and they provide gentle care and my comfort came first. I highly recommend them."
"Excellent service! Dr. Cohenca and her assistant were so professional and nice with me. HABLAN ESPAÑOL! That allowed me understand better the information. They offered me a blanket and hear phones. I had a really great experience! Totally recommend it!"
"Dry professional from start to finish. Clearly and articulately described the procedure in understandable terms. Very positive experience."

He used the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best possible outcome.

He went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction throughout the entire process. I can't thank Dr. Nestor Cohenca enough for his exceptional care and expertise in endodontics. Thanks to him, I now have a healthy and pain-free smile. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of endodontic treatment."

"We had the greatest experience with Dr Cohenca. He explained everything ahead so clearly and kept giving details during the treatment, so my daughter felt calm and relaxed. The stuff is friendly and supportive, Loved this place, surely recommend it"
"Tooth pain is no fun. After my regular dentist had trouble locating an Endodontist that could help me in a timely manner, I called Prime Endodontics in Kirkland. Dr. Cohenca and his staff were wonderful. The office manager was efficient and friendly, the dental assistant, Ciera, was very skilled and proficient, and Dr. Cohenca was friendly, very skillful, and took care of my quite painful root canal in short order. He even called me to be sure I was okay. All in all, a very good experience. If necessary, I’ll be back!"
"Dr. Trinh from Totem Lake Dental referred me to Prime Endodontics for a root canal. Granted, I haven't had one in 20 or so years and boy has technology advanced greatly. From scheduling to procedure to post-op phone call, everything was just a phenomenal experience. So much so that I haven't stopped recommending them to my coworkers and anyone I come in contact with! Dr. Shahd Nawari was my endodontist and she did an excellent job. Going back to work the next day, I didn't need to take additional ibuprofen to get through the day. I can even eat on that side, just not hard or sticky stuff until I get my permanent crown. All in all, I am very very happy with Dr. Nawari and her staff. If I ever need any work that requires an endodontist, I'd come here. Thanks again to Dr. Nawari and the staff for making my root canal procedure a wonderful experience."

"Good experience at Prime Endodontics, Nestor Cohenca did a great job explaining the procedure, then did an excellent job on my root canal procedure. I was back at work a few hours later."
"I had the most wonderful experience at Dr. Nestor Cohenca clinic! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. As someone who was quite nervous about undergoing a root canal treatment, the staff immediately put me at ease. They provided me with headphones so I could listen to my favorite music, and even offered me a cozy blanket, which added an extra level of comfort during the procedure. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel comfortable right away. As for the treatment itself, I couldn't be happier. Dr. Cohenca was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also took the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring I was informed and at ease throughout the process. The procedure went smoothly, and I experienced minimal discomfort, thanks to Dr. Cohenca's gentle approach and expertise. I left feeling confident that I had received top-notch care. I highly recommend Dr. Cohenca to anyone in need of endodontic treatment. You won't find a more compassionate, skilled, and professional team anywhere else!"
"UPDATE: Dr. Cohenca followed up with us, reviewed the images with his staff, and referred us at-cost for a specialist visit to determine the situation. Turns out the new infection is independent of the work that was performed and we now know how to proceed with treatment. The other failed procedure was actually due to the work done by a previous specialist. Thank you Dr. Cohenca for going out of the way to help my wife. Great guy and a great team of staff, very professional. ̶S̶t̶a̶f̶f̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶n̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶e̶n̶v̶i̶r̶o̶n̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶c̶l̶e̶a̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶w̶e̶l̶l̶ ̶e̶q̶u̶i̶p̶p̶e̶d̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶w̶o̶ ̶f̶a̶i̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶r̶o̶o̶t̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶a̶l̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶r̶o̶w̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶h̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶o̶t̶a̶l̶ ̶l̶o̶s̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶e̶e̶t̶h̶,̶ ̶w̶e̶'̶r̶e̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶e̶.̶"
"I’ve seen Dr. Cohenca for a root canal and to treat root reabsorption. He’s the best! His bedside manner is awesome- he explains everything he’s going to do and makes sure to answer any questions you have. I really appreciate that they give you headphones to listen to music while they work on you- it helps my anxiety a lot. They also give you a little goodie bag after your procedure and call you to follow up and see how you’re doing. The staff are all really nice as well. Highly recommend this office!"
"My experience at Prime Endodontics was excellent. From diagnosis to treatment, Dr. Cohenca explained the procedure, the expectations and follow-up clearly. I did not have any discomfort(yes, including the anesthesia part) throughout the procedure, almost no soreness afterwards and recovered quickly. Estimated charges were also clear up front."

"I've been treated in this office several times and each occasion I was made comfortable with first class care. The office team is welcoming and professional and the entire staff is well trained, compassionate and helpful. The doctor took great care to explain each step of the root canal process so I knew what to expect. I always feel confident that I will get the best care possible from Prime Endodontics"
"Amazing team! I have extreme dental anxiety and they were so amazing at calming all my nerves. They explained in great detail the work I would be getting done, and all of my options. If I ever need to get specialist dental care again, I would come back here. Thank you again!"
"I had a really pleasant experience with my root canal here! I was freaking out for weeks prior to my appointment because the dentist is a big fear of mine but they took really good care of me. Julie the receptionist took multiple phone calls with a bunch of questions from me, which I feel like other dental offices would be long annoyed by. Dr. Nawari even took the time to personally call me back and answer some questions which i dont see much doctors doing these days. Than Stacy really took her time and attention to make me comfortable and feel safe while getting me ready for the doctor. She answered all my questions and let me take my time before getting settled in the chair.. Her and Dr. Nawari got me pillow, blanket, let me take breaks when I asked for them and communicated the process with me which was what I asked for. Definitely the most patient dental office I came across."
"When I saw other reviewers saying that their experience was as pleasant as possible, I thought they must be crazy. My first root canal, with a different doctor, was traumatic, and I was full of dread when I needed one again. However, Prime Endodontics really did make the experience as pleasant as possible. The staff was friendly, the chair and blanket were comfortable, and the doctor worked very quickly (I actually thought we were just taking a break or repositioning when they started to take the xrays and we were finished--it felt like it was over so much faster than the last one). There are certainly things I'd rather do than have dental work done, but if I need a root canal again, I will 100% go back to Dr. Cohenca."
"Professional staff and hospitable. I had my root canal done and the dentist was so gentle and he did a good job. I highly recommend this place ."
"I had such a great experience. All the staff are so friendly and efficient. Dr. Cohenca was wonderful. He thoroughly explained everything. They made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. I would definitely recommend them."
"Very professional and friendly. No hassle with insurance. Waited a week for review to see how I felt now. Like it never happened, no residual pain or discomfort. Thanks Doctor, feel great for choosing you!"
"Unbelievable experience! I needed a root canal and was a bit apprehensive. When Dr. Nawari walked into the room, she told me she was in the tooth saving business. This put me at ease. The process was lengthy, but ZERO pain. Zero. Dr Nawari is friendly, polite, professional and highly skilled."
"Dr Cohenca’s professionalism and attention to detail made my experience at his office really pleasant. From being covered with a blanket, earphones with my favorite music and lukewarm water for rinses, I could almost say I enjoyed having a ‘root canal’ done fast and pain free. I have recommended his office already to my family and friends. Lovely staff also. Thank you!"
"Approached my first root canal with a little anxiety. But my dentist highly recommended Dr. Cohenca -- and the experience was (almost) a pleasure! Dr. Cohenca's staff made it a relaxed, pleasurable experience (their nice multi-denominational holiday decorations contributed to that!), and the procedure itself was easier than some fillings I've had -- and COMPLETELY painless after the local anesthetic! They provided noise-cancelling headphones with free Spotify -- and I was able to fully relax during the procedure! I would highly recommend Dr. Cohenca and Prime Endodontics!"
"Very attentive care, felt like home, excellent service."
"Absolutely top notch care! Very caring team and exquisite office with the latest and greatest technology. Thank you for treating my six year old and providing her great comfort during her visit with you!"
"The Prime Team is fantastic. I presented with an emergency need of a root canal and they were able to fit me in that day. From the moment you walk in the door you know you will be met with a high level of care and expertise. I can recommend Prime Endodontics whole heartily!"
"Dr. Cohenca and his staff were top notch, caring for my 6 year old who had gross decay in a molar that had recently erupted. She needed treatment that her pediatric dentist felt was beyond her capabilities. Dr. Cohenca's office technology enabled me to watch and record exactly what was happening during the procedure. He handled my daughter gently and communicated perfectly with her so she would feel comfortable in the dental chair. We feel so lucky to have such a skilled endodontist willing to work on children with complicated situations here in Kirkland! We appreciate you well beyond words."
"Excellent care. Friendly and efficient."
"Dr Nawari is fantastic. She is wonderfully personable sans seeks to complete uncomfortable procedures with efficiency and caring attention. The dental assistants and Julie at the front desk are also very kind and knowledgeable."
"Excellent communication, and comfort. Clean, efficient and I would recommend them to anyone."
"Best experience ever! Dr. Cohenca and staff were very professional and kind. He made sure I was confortable, there was zero pain throughout the entire experience."
"A relaxing office atmosphere with top quality treatment!"
"Great care, makes it as simple as a process as possible!"
"I was surprised how painless this root canal was. Never had one before thinking it would be painful. On contrary it wasn't painful at all. Even better than a routine filling. He was very methodical throughout the process."
"The treatment was awesome and everyone was so nice!"
"Great team. Very professional. They accommodated me very well on short notice. The whole procedure was excellently and comfortably handled."
"Prime Endodontics was very friendly and very good team work I recommend thank you team of prime Endodontics!!!!!!!.."
"Brought my 92 year old mom here - she is thrilled with the results. Complex procedure to save an infected root, most likely outcome was extraction and potential implant. Dr. Nawari wouldn’t give up, scheduled a second more extensive procedure and was able to fully clean and save the root. Recovery far easier than anticipated. Thanks to skill and effort my mom saved thousands compared to an implant, with less discomfort and downtime. We are both super grateful."
"I can’t say enough about Dr Cohenca, the dental assistants and the staff at Prime Endodontics. I have had the unfortunate experience of having two emergency root canals in the past 5 months. Both times they are made time to see me immediately and took care of my issues with the of best care. Highly recommend!"
"Dr. Cohenca does beautiful work. I almost had instant relief after my procedure."
"Very nice employees and customer care was great I was treated very good and taken care of especially during procedure. Very professional."
"I needed a root canal and was going out of town for 10 days. Dr. Nestor took me in and took care of me that day. It was great to work with her team. Thank You! You saved my vacation!"
"I recommend it with all my heart Dr. Cohenca and his team were so kind to me. His services are high quality, I would say the best. I am from Europe and I have never received a call the day after a root canal to ask me how I am feeling. Thank you !"
"My dentist referred me to Dr. Cohenca to assess a toothache that I thought was related to a previous root canal from a different endodontist . He found that it was the tooth behind it causing the problem and so I needed another root canal! I was nervous to get this done again, but Dr. Cohenca and his assistant Beth were so calm and kind during the whole procedure. It really didn’t seem like it took that long. I received a text the next day to check in and he even emailed me photos of my X-rays, before and after root canal. Their clinic is really nice and open too. Karen at the front desk is super helpful with the billing process as well. Thank you Dr. Cohenca and team at Prime Endodontics! I’m feeling a lot better!"
"Dr. Cohenca and staff are great. I highly recommend."
"I had a great experience. From the 1st day I met the staff I felt very welcomed and everything was handled very professionally. I had been holding off having the surgery for a couple of years. I am glad I had Dr Nestor Cohenca do the surgery. Everything went smoothly and was over before I knew it. I have had very limited swelling and have felt great. I have not needed pain medication. Amazing experience. Thank you Dr. Cohenca."
"Fantastic , compassionate team. State of the art practice. Root canals don’t get better than this."
"Dr. Cohenca saw me for an emergency root canal right before I was going on vacation overseas. I was terrified but Dr. Cohenca carefully explained what he planned to do and completely made me feel at ease. The procedure was painless and I was comfortable under blankets with noise canceling headphones. He was fantastic and I’ve had no issues with my tooth. Dr. Cohenca is outstanding and I highly recommend him."
"Dr. Cohenca is so kind and patient. My son had a very traumatic experience at a previous Endodontist. Dr. Cohenca was patient and explained everything to him. He made my son comfortable and cooperative. I can't say enough good things. He made both my son and I happy and confident again."
"Very friendly people and care and clean I love this places."
"Excellent care. Recommending this team."
"Dr. Cohenca and his staff are exceptional. They go out of their way to make the patient comfortable throughout their appointment. Without saying their expertise is second to none. Dr. Cohenca is an expert in his field of dentistry to which I will refer family and friends to him in the event they are in need of his help."
"Dr. Cohenca is not only a very experienced professional, he also took time to explain my treatment options and soothed my anxiety. I would highly recommend him and his wonderful staff."
"Dr Cohenca performed a root canal surgery on me. I had a very bad toothache and my dentist recommended Dr Cohenca as one of the best endodontists in the area to take care of the tooth. I went in dreading a painful experience and was pleasantly surprised at how easy and pain free Dr Cohenca made it for me. He did some tests and took some X rays, confirmed that I needed the root canal surgery and explained the entire process of what to expect before starting the procedure. The only mildly uncomfortable part of the surgery was the local anesthetic administration, which was expected. After that it was 45 minutes of procedure when I did not feel a thing! He even has a monitor where you can watch exactly what is being done on your tooth as the procedure happens. I was given a blanket and an IPad with noise reduction earphones and Spotify app on it so I could listen to some relaxing music during the procedure. Post operative instructions were given on a handout after surgery. My toothache was totally gone and I did not even need any painkillers post surgery during the healing process. Since he operated on me on a Friday, Dr Cohenca gave his card with cell phone number so I could contact him if needed during the weekend. He also checked on me the next day to see how I was doing. Overall I was super happy with my experience. I strongly recommend Dr Conhenca and his practice for any endodontic needs."
"Karen at the font desk was amazing and was able to get my in same day for my intense tooth pain. They didn't have time for a full root canal but were able to go in and clean it which helped with the pain. Doctor Cohenca was very kind, patient with me and explained everything. The assistants he had was also very kind and patient. Was a lot better experience then the first place I went for my first root canal. Excited I found them and would definitely recommend!"
"Dr cohenca was very patient with me. He explained everything to me. And the entire state was lovely"
"Prime Endodontics team and Dr. Cohenca are very caring and professional. I had a swelling in my cheek and I have been referred by my dentist to their office. I want to say I had the most amazing root canal - Yes, there is such a thing!! I am now recovering and grateful to the team 🤩🙏👍"
"Very professional, great facility top of the line equipment and great stuff!"
"When you are dealing with infection it pays to find someone you can trust to deliver excellent care, & in my experience you are in exceptional hands with Dr. Cohenca. His credentials are impressive: 29 years of clinical, research & teaching experience, expertise in dental traumatology (when bad things happen) & pediatrics (when bad things happen to kids), and a multinational and multi-lingual background — which point strongly to an abundance of knowledge, experience & developed technical (& communication) skills. But what brought me to his current practice was prior experience: 13 years ago I was treated by Dr. Cohenca at the UW following a bike and sailing accident. Back then I expected root canals to be ‘character-building:’ yet in his hands the procedure was quick, easy and the aftermath so ‘unremarkable’ (no complications then or now) that I forgot about it. So when I needed another root canal, I sought his care. This time my procedure was finished in just over an hour, I was sent home with standard aftercare instructions but less than 6 hours later woke from a nap experiencing no discomfort or pain whatsoever (note: mileage may vary, situations are unique/multi-factorial, pain subjective etc). Weeks later, I continue in the path of ‘unremarkable’ healing. The clinic displays professionalism (there’s in-built follow up in care, communication is easy & Dr. Cohenca makes himself readily available) but what stands out is a sense that Prime Endodontics is a practice founded on transparency, integrity & basic good practices founded on patient health. Having ‘trust’ issues and desire to understand I ask a lot of questions yet Dr. Cohenca and his staff took time to answer all my questions, clearly lay out what I should expect as treatment & aftermath, and I personally appreciated Dr. Cohenca’s tendency towards frankness and honest, pragmatic opinions (should you ask for them). There’s a deliberate transparency from billing (write up with a clear breakdown of what’s to be charged insurance etc) to procedure (should you choose to you can watch it take place in real time, which may in turns fascinate/ educate/ distract etc) to post-procedure assessment & management of expectations. Dr. Cohenca also shows & explains the results of his work: in my case, a lateral canal at right angles making my root system look a bit like a game of Tron, and a ‘core build-up’ smoothly built to prevent infection or trauma. Inappropriately performed procedures can lead to problems/re-treatments down the line and our current system can cause strange pressures and incentives that lead to clinical decisions not always in the patient’s best interest, so having trust in a clinician’s skill, devotion to excellence and professional integrity is key. As an established researcher & clinician & teacher Dr Cohenca seems committed to providing evidence-based care tailored to a client’s situation, to lay out treatment & expectations in a clear, open manner, and to educate and empower his patients with information. All these things build trust, and hence I would feel confident in returning should complications arise, or future treatments be needed. & that feeling of of confidence in getting good care - is priceless. p.s. One caveat: unfortunately, Dr. Cohenca's office accepts limited (i.e. not less profitable) dental insurances, hence if circumstances change and you need to change (even if temporarily) insurance, they cannot/will not accommodate/there will delimited options (i.e.: there are no payment plans or other alternatives/incentives to keep care continuity). Or at least that's the experience I had on calling the office due to a complication on a root canal treatment. This is unfortunately the reality of a private enterprise & the primary drivers/incentives of our current (many might say broken) health care/economic system. So alas, keep that in mind."
"Knowing I'll probably need more root canals...I'd definitely come back and send my buddies!"
"I have had a ton of dental work done in my life and I’ve never experienced better service or dental work. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you!"
"I was referred to Prime Endodontics by my dentist and I couldn't have been happier. No one wants a root canal, but Dr. Cohenca and team do a wonderful job at making it easier and pleasant. Top notch service and experience."
"Excellent care and excellent result. Everything was well explained beforehand and the procedure went very well. I am very pleased with Dr. Cohenca's work."
"Dr. Cohenca and all the staff at Prime Endodontics were excellent! From the initial consultation to my treatment, every person I had contact with was so polite, caring, patient and professional. Dr. Cohenca was extremely thorough, he took his time and explained my problem using advanced imaging and discussed my two potential treatment options in copious detail to the point where I had absolutely no questions left. Because of his expertise, I was able to have an old (approximately 17+ year old root canal which became infected) treated within few weeks of my initial consultation, using the more challenging technique for the doctor but better long term results for me. My procedure was a total success with zero complications. They were extremely calm, patient and accommodating during my slight panic attack after receiving numbing injections (this has previously occurred at my regular dentist's office during a filling and I am now realized that I have a sensitive to lidocaine with epinephrine and will plan accordingly for any future dental work). I was able to go grocery shopping and attended my dental cleaning appointments within few hours of my root canal repair with no pain, swelling or complications. They provided me with Dr. Cohenca's personal cellphone number just in case I had any post procedural complications and called to check in on me the following day. I have previously been referred to a different endodontist who told me that he would not touch my root canal unless absolutely necessary due to how old it was and how complicated treating it would be. I am so glad my dentist referred me to Dr. Cohenca who was able to perform this difficult repair without complications. I am forever grateful and would absolutely recommend Prime Endodontics to anyone in need. Thank you!"
"Prime Endodontics was a great experience. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. During my procedure I felt very comfortable and they took great care. I highly recommend!"
"Dr. Cohenca is very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Prime Endodontics has state of art technology, beautiful practice and provides comfortable patient experience. Thanks to whole team , you guys are amazing ."
"Very positive experience with Prime Endodontics. The work done was very efficient and professional. I highly recommend based on my experience for retreatment of an old root canal."
"Dr.Cohenca and his staff were absolutely wonderful. My daughter has anxiety disorder and had a really difficult time but doctor took his time, was very patient, kind, professional. We'd recommend him to anyone. Great job Dr.Cohenca. We truly appreciate your knowledge, experience and expertise."
"I found out I needed a root canal at 9:30 on a Friday and I was finished by 2pm so I could catch my flight out of town. Everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Dr. Cohenca explained everything very clearly and made sure I was comfortable with the process and next steps. He was quick and thorough, and resolved my issue. They followed up the next to make sure I was good. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone needing similar work."
"I had to quickly find a doctor for my root canal retreatment and doctor coheneca and his staff Karen and coworker, and assistant Beth were very kind, and professional, courteous and passionate on what they were doing to make me feel very comfortable not stressed and no pain in my treatment as I was promised. I am really happy I found a right spot for my needs! Thanks to the entire team on your great service"
"I would like to share my positive experiences at Prime Endodontics. I developed very severe pain in my right lower molar. I was in so much pain that I could not work and went home early. My provider referred me to see Endodontist Nestor Cohenca DDS, From the moment I stepped foot inside the clinic I was welcomed by the women at the front desk. The dental assistant helped me get comfortable before the procedure began. When Nestor Cohenca came in I found him to be very positive and reassuring. He examined my teeth and explained in detail what his plan of treatment was going to be and double checked my understanding of it. Then the dental assistant asked if I wanted to listen to music during the root canal. The unavoidable loud procedure was drowned out by the “Rat Pack music I chose. I have had head sets during MRI’s but what a help to have them during an unavoidable loud procedure. I was surprised when I was told that the root canal was over and I was put on antibiotics as I had an infection. I am so very grateful that he found the infection. As an RN myself I found Nestor Cohenca to provide excellent patient education. I was put at ease and even relaxed a bit during the treatment and I believe that this was possible because of his professional and kind demeanor. He had a friendly bedside manner. After the procedure I did not have anymore pain or discomfort. I am so appreciative of how supportive and focused he and his staff were to provide excellent service and relief from my pain.

"I have seldom received service as fine as I did at Prime Endodontics. I arrived at the clinic and the women at the desk were very polite and friendly. Likewise I found Dr Cohenca to be warm, reassuring and generous with his time. I came in for an assessment of my pain and to discover what needed to be done. Dr Cohenca performed a root canal right away. . After the root canal I had no more pain. Now I am so grateful that I went to Prime Endodontist because Dr Cohenca found a bad infection in my lower molar . I give him a thousand stars"
"In the last two years, I needed two root canals. Both times, Dr. Cohenca performed exceptional service. As a nurse myself, I value his expertise, detailed explanation of procedure and his great 'bed-side' manner. His assistant was just as professional and welcoming, eager to make me as comfortable as possible. Thank you Dr. Cohenca and the whole team."
"Dr Cohenca and his staff were outstanding. We'd recommend him to anyone seeking endodontist. My daughter had no problem with her tooth after a pretty complicated root canal procedure. So now I'm seeing Dr. Cohenca for issues I'm having with my teeth. Doctor spends his time explaining your options for treatment, very clear, consice, knowledgeable."
"Extremely impressed with his transparency. Took his time explaining the procedure and what he needs to do. You have the option to watch the process on a monitor - if you care to. He keeps up on all the new technology for example - 3 D imaging, modern x-rays with lower radiation, whereas the assistant doesn’t even leave the room but holds the device taking the x-ray. His assistant was professional but extremely friendly and made you feel comfortable throughout the operation. Julie at the front desk was helpful, friendly and followed up the next day. Great experience! Highly recommend"
"Excellent care and kind consideration for patients needs."
"I recommend Dr Nestor Cohenca & his practice for root canals & gum infection surgery, & any other services. I've had both done there & have no hesitation to continue to go there for all my future needs. He makes it comfortable & easy, even if you're nervous about this type of dental work, like I am."
"I had 2 appointments with Prime Endodontics in the last couple of years. In both cases it was the best experience I had with endodontics specialists. I absolutely recommend Prime Endodontics to anyone who need this kind of treatment. Thank you very much Prime Endodontics!"
"Visiting from Ohio and I had 2 teeth go bad at the same time. I have to have 2 caps done and 1 of the teeth abcessed after one of the crtowns was placed. I had to suffer over the weekend with the pain because the dentists office who did the crowns was already closed. They saw me on Monday morning and they referred me to Prime. I called them and they got me in immediately the next morning and performed a root canal. The experience was fantastic from the office staff all the way up to the medical staff. I was very impressed and highly recommend them."
