I had a situation requiring emergency endodontic work, leaving me frantically calling around the valley in a lot of pain. Canyon Ridge was so helpful in getting me on the schedule immediately, providing support to get through to morning. Fortunately, the situation resolved just before the appointment and I no longer needed the service. I was able to cancel the appointment without any issues, fees, or that passive aggressive tone that can come with such a thing. They also offered to help find another location that may work better with our insurance network. So while I did not actually become a patient of CRE, I can say that the care they did show when I really needed it was unexpected and appreciated.
Came in for a root canal for the first time ever here at this office and the front staff and DR were so nice to me and made me feel welcomed. the front office followed up with me the next day to ask how I am feeling and I did not expect that! That was so nice of them to do. Definitely recommend this place and will be back of needed.
I have had multiple procedures done at Canyon Ridge. All of them were good experiences in spite of the sort of work I had done. My latest was an apicoectomy with bone graft on two teeth that were next to each other. I fully expected to be very uncomfortable both during and after the procedure. Dr. Khalifa made me feel very comfortable by explaining what he was going to do and kept me informed throughout the procedure as well. Even the shots to numb the area were so well done that I felt no pain. Following his directions after leaving I found that only the first evening was painful enough to take pain pills. I had minimal swelling and on day two I did not require any pain medication at all!
His team worked very well together and he was done in record time. Thank you Dr Khalifa and team!
I was referred for an evaluation and root canal on one tooth. They got me in quickly to the Desert Ridge office. Dr Molina provided a detailed and easy to understand evaluation and recommendation. She was extremely helpful, addressed my questions and had my best interest in mind. The entire staff was pleasant, helpful and caring.
Great experience with Dr. James Perman. He was extremely helpful in explaining my issue and how to work through it. I just appreciated knowing what was going on with my tooth and my options for treatment.
Great experience at Canyon Ridge. They were very nice, accommodating, and transparent with pricing. Dr. Setlock did an incredible job performing a root canal on me. He made sure I understood everything that was happening, clearly answered any questions I had, and fixed a tooth that was causing me years of pain. My only regret is that I didn't go sooner. Highly recommend Dr. Setlock!
I was dreading getting this root canal yesterday. I get there and find out they recommend I need to get TWO. With timing and scheduling, I’ll need to come back to do the second one next week. So I get this root canal done and I have to say, Rachel and Dr. Helvey were fantastic! The root canal still sucked but having incredibly kind and wonderful people doing it made the experience less miserable, borderline pleasant. Rachel was very sweet answering all my questions and checking in on me, making sure I was okay and Dr. Helvey was kind and very skillful during the process. So while I’m not thrilled to have to go back and get this second root canal done, it won’t be the worst thing. Happy to have found some great people working on my teeth! Thanks.
Had a much dreaded root canal done today by Dr. Kahlifa. Over the past 40 years have had to have several and I have to say I always dread the shot in t gums, but mostly the one in the roof of the mouth. Dr. Kahlifa did them so painlessly I am still in awe! What a great experience I had watching him and his assistant do my root canal. They were such a great team and it was so refreshing to have a good professional job done on my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Kahlifa at Canyon Ridge Endondonics on Carefree Highway.
