Michelle D.
I can say nothing but the most positive things about Elite Endodontics. Dr. Todd and Leah were the best! I needed a root canal, my face was swollen, and I was in a lot of pain. They worked me in the same day, and as far as I'm concerned, they saved my life. The entire office staff was polite and caring. Dr. Todd and Leah lightened the mood and took away all of my fears. Within a couple of days, I was back to my previous self. I cannot thank them enough and highly recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you, Elite, for all that you did for me!
Irena O.
I was referred to this office from my dentist and I’m really pleased with the work they did for me. Everything went smoothly and they followed up with me the next day.
Toad F.
Had to get a root canal and Elite Endodontics was recommended by my dentist. Absolutely painless and the staff were professional and very friendly. I would absolutely recommend them!
Danil P.
Dr. Todd at Elite Endodontics is Professional with a friendly touch. I have had bad experiences with Dentists before. Dr. Todd performed a root canal and explained the procedure as he progressed. The relatively painless procedure was performed in less than an hour with care for my comfort. The office is modern and staff friendly. I recommend Dr Todd at Elite Endodontics for Excellent dental care.
Sharon B.
I had a root canal at Elite Endodontics. The procedure was completed within an hour with very little discomfort. Dr. Todd explained each step of the process carefully and gave clear instructions at the end. The assistant, Alesha, was so very kind and caring. She called the next day to check on me, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend Elite Endodontics to anyone needing a procedure that this office offers.

I'd give way more stars if I could! I've seen a lot of doctors for myself and my son, but Dr Todd is hands down the best! His bedside manner can't be beat! My 14 year old had to get a root canal (which is a terrifying thing for a mom), but it was flawless! my son even said he thinks he dozed off a couple of times. Dr Todd explained everything ahead of time and let my son know as he was about to do something. what could have been a scary procedure was super easy. Go to Dr. Todd if you need an Endodontist! I'm super super impressed and 100% thankful we came to him to get this procedure done! Thank you to Dr Todd and his entire staff! Top Notch!!
John B.

This is the BEST dental experience I have had in my 58 years on this planet= the facility is very inviting, Gina and Doctor Beam are extremely competent & compassionate, and my root canal went so well that I fell asleep during the procedure… all readers of this review owes it to themselves to check out this 6 star business!!!
Greg W.
Dr B has mastered his craft and does excellent work. He takes the time to answer any questions you have and ensures you are comfortable. If you need an endodontist then look no further. Top notch service with modern equipment and friendly staff.
Brooke D.
Couldn't be happier with our experience! Doctor Todd and his amazing assistant, Nicole, went above and beyond with my daughter, making her feel completely at ease. The front office staff struck the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Top notch.
