Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Fear to fantastic is my experience. I was concerned about having a root canal. My dentist recommended Dr. George Shinn as a highly experienced and trusted oral surgeon. I contacted their office, they're EdodonticsLA now, and spoke with Denise. The office manger was nice and professional. They got me in right away. Upon arrival I found the clinic to be modern, clean and comfortable (they got a really nice view from the penthouse floor of all West LA). Dr. Shinn was simply amazing in every aspect of the experience. Talk about expertise and wonderful character. I highly recommend this office to anyone hesitant about root canals and would like to work with the best practice in California. The Best! Thank you EndodonticsLA, Brenda, Denise and especially Dr. Shinn. God bless.

Had a root canal performed and Dr. Shinn's expertise, gentle and professional manner and most of skill made this the most enjoyable dental experience of my life! Unfortunately, I've had a few root canals... and yes I brush my teeth daily... LOL and this was by far the easiest to endure. His office is beautifully decorated with awesome views of the LA basin, but it was his professional manner and pain-free techniques that have me raving! His staff were also top notch. Thank you, Dr. Shinn...
