Our comment from Best Dentists Club about Chevy Chase Endodontics:
Exceptional Endodontic Expertise with a Focus on Comfort
Chevy Chase Endodontics is widely recognized for providing top-tier endodontic care, primarily through the skilled hands of Dr. Reza Farshey and Dr. Pirooz Zia. Patients consistently praise the practice for its ability to transform what is often a dreaded dental procedure into a comfortable and manageable experience. The clinic is highly regarded for its technical proficiency, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise and effective treatments.
Advanced Technology and Diagnostic Precision
The practice distinguishes itself by investing in cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment tools. Patients have highlighted the use of high-resolution 3D X-ray imaging, which allows for the detection of hairline fractures and complex root structures that traditional X-rays might miss. Additionally, the integration of laser-assisted treatment and computer-targeted anesthesia enhances the precision of the procedures, contributing to a smoother and more efficient clinical experience.
A Spa-Like Atmosphere for Anxious Patients
One of the most frequently mentioned aspects of the patient experience is the clinic’s commitment to alleviating dental anxiety. The environment is described as calm, zen-like, and professional. To further enhance comfort, the treatment rooms are equipped with ceiling-mounted screens for movie viewing, noise-canceling headphones with curated music, and soft blankets. These amenities, combined with a gentle approach, help patients relax, with many reporting that they felt no pain and even dozed off during their procedures.
Compassionate and Patient-Centered Care

Chevy Chase Endodontics: Reviews
Reviews are the opinions of their authors. We do not verify that the author was a customer.
Fantastic experience: I had a root canal done with Dr. Farshey Yesterday. They warned me that I might have some discomfort, but amazingly I never did. I was able to go out the next day and ride 25 miles on my bicycle. The idea of having a root canal is usually the punchline of a joke, but I must say that he and his office staff made it an amazing experience. I hope I do not need another one, but if I do, I would hope that it would be just like this one
Fantastic experience: Over the 4th of July holiday weekend, away at the beach, a tooth I’d chipped some months ago suddenly started to hurt with a sensitivity that seemed to increase by the hour. Back in DC our marvelous family dentist (Dr. Ronan Freyne) agreed to see me straight away, diagnosing that that tooth needed a root canal and a crown. He suggested Dr. Farshey for the root canal effort. Speed was an important factor lest the situation deteriorate from bad to worse. With lightening speed the two offices coordinated my care and so I was able to walk from Dr. Freyne’s immediately to Dr. Farshey’s where they were waiting for me. Warm personalities working with cool efficiency, Dr. Farshey and his incredible staff addressed every concern and question of mine. After looking to my comfort, Dr. Farshey began the quickest root canal I’ve yet undergone. An hour after walking through his door I was walking out again, minus all pain and expertly prepped to begin crown work. Dr. Farshey also observed to me the possibility of problems I’d likely have with the same tooth on the other side, similarly fractured and with the nerve beginning to visibly show. Without complication or bother, I thus had a second root canal procedure yesterday morning as Dr. Forshay’s first patient of the day and week. Again the model of cool efficiency, I’m grateful for another problem quickly nipped in the bud. I recommend Dr. Farshey in the highest possible terms and with 6 decades of other dental work for comparison’s sake.
Fantastic experience: This clinic has incredible customer service from the smiles greeting you as you walk (nervously of course) through the front door, to the willingness of all staff up to Dr Farshey, to the speed and incredible competence of Dr Farshey (I could not even feel him injecting the anaesthetic). I could not recommend more highly.
Fantastic experience: The care I received for my root canal procedure couldn't have been better, not only technically superb but, just as important, Dr. Farshey and Claudia, his wonderful assistant, made me feel as relaxed and comfortable as one could hope for.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey is some kind of wizard. Two root canals, and neither time has the tooth he fixed given me a lick of trouble afterwards.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey has performed at least two root canals on my husband and each time he comes home raving about Dr. Farshey's technical skill and professionalism, but also his kind reassuring demeanor. Kevin has also remarked on how upbeat and responsive the staff is (and always inquire re how he's doing the next day).That kind of office atmosphere is especially welcome in a place no one really wants to be (nothing personal, guys). Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, caring, and friendly practice. They clearly explain everything and are very gentle. Kudos.
Fantastic experience: Root canals are not fun but if you need one, Chevy Chase Endodontics is where you want to be. Dr. Farshey and each member of his staff are skilled, professional, and patient-focused.
Fantastic experience: My 4th root canal and, by far, my best. The entire staff wasn't just nice; they were KIND. Dr. Farshey made sure I understood what was going to happen. I've never found root canal work "painful," just quite "uncomfortable." This procedure, however, was the least "uncomfortable" I've ever had. That's the highest praise I can possibly give!
Fantastic experience: I recently had a root canal, my second, at Chevy Chase Endodontics. I am not an easy patient with TMJ issues which keep me from being able to keep my mouth open wide for an extended period of time. Dr Farshey used a dental block and much patience to remove 4 calcified roots in a back molar. He is an experienced, competent endodontist and his staff are truly caring! Would never go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey is an excellent, very experienced endodontist, who makes every effort to assure your satisfaction. His staff is welcoming, compassionate and accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Farshay and his practice.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the care I received while getting a root canal. The staff ensured my comfort and answered all my questions. A great experience!
Fantastic experience: One of the best experiences I have had in a medical office. Dr. Farshey and his outstanding staff were not only professional, but exceptionally friendly, sensitive, and accommodating as well. My experience was excellent.
Fantastic experience: I was seen immediately after receiving the referral from my dentist. The diagnosis, which required specialized equipment, was made promptly and the recommended procedure was fully and clearly explained. The procedure was done successfully the next morning. I have had no problems since. The doctor and the staff have been as helpful as anyone could have wanted. I would give them the highest possible recommendation.
Fantastic experience: I was unfortunate in needing some root canal operations. I was fortunate in having Dr. Farshey deal with them. The front office staff, the nurses/assistants, and Dr. Farshey himself, have all been consistently professional, friendly and helpful. I have had enough medical/dental experiences to make comparisons and I am confident that Dr. Farshey is the best. His office has up-to-date equipment, the staff have the expertise to use it properly, and they have the sensitivity to patient needs to make an otherwise unpleasant experience quite tolerable. No one likes a root canal, but if I were to need another, I would definitely go back to Dr. Farshey and his office!
Fantastic experience: As a general dentist, I have trusted Dr. Farshey with many of my patients over the years and he has taken stellar care of them. As one of his patients, I can now give first hand account that his skill and knowledge are just as outstanding as his and his team's professionalism.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey and his team are fantastic. Dr. Farshey takes time to explain everything and make sure you’re comfortable with all options. His team is kind and caring and very professional. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Dr Farshey and his team are exceptional! I was treated with kindness and respect. The whole experience ( of a root canal ) was made comfortable with their professional care. And the music was the icing on the cake. Gratefully, Mary Anne Stanton
Fantastic experience: This is where you go if you need endodontic treatment and want kind, compassionate, trustworthy, patient centered care...and medical excellence! I'm very grateful for this practice!
Fantastic experience: I recently had a root canal performed by Dr. Farshey at Chevy Chase Endodontics, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From start to finish, Dr. Farshey was compassionate, gentle, and truly caring. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable with my treatment plan. The practice uses state-of-the-art technology, including laser-assisted treatment, which made the procedure incredibly efficient and smooth. As someone who suffers from significant dental anxiety, I was especially grateful that Dr. Farshey prescribed appropriate medication to help ease my nerves. Thanks to his thoughtful approach, the entire procedure was painless and completely stress-free. The staff at Chevy Chase Endodontics is equally wonderful—kind, professional, and easy to work with. They made scheduling simple, treated me with warmth, and even followed up the next day to check on my recovery. It’s rare to feel so genuinely cared for in a medical setting, but that’s exactly how I felt here. I’m deeply appreciative of Dr. Farshey and his team. If you’re looking for exceptional endodontic care, especially if you struggle with dental anxiety, I highly recommend Chevy Chase Endodontics.
Fantastic experience: Very professional staff. Best experience I could have expected getting a root canal.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey performed a complicated procedure on my wisdom tooth that had multiple roots. The treatment was done skilfully and I did not feel any discomfort during and after the procedure. Dr. Farshey was caring from the beginning and patiently provided me information about my situation.
Fantastic experience: Root canals are not fun, but the staff at Chevy Chase Endodontics are friendly, funny, highly competent, and perhaps most importantly, kind.
Fantastic experience: Everybody thinks of going to the dentist (especially the endodontist) as a life experience to be endured but not enjoyed. But I have to say that Dr. Farshey and his friendly, expert, and accomplished staff make it as close as anyone possibly could to making it a pleasant way to spend a morning!
Fantastic experience: For my first root canal, I had the most positive experience possible. Dr. Farshey and his team were incredible — exceptionally professional, keenly focused on my comfort and with providing me necessary information about my procedure and experience, masterful in the performance of my procedure, and my procedure was a tremendous success.
Fantastic experience: Upon my referral to Chevy Chase Endodontics for two root canal procedures, I initially had reservations due to a prior negative experience with another practice. However, my concerns were thoroughly addressed, and the procedures were completed without any discomfort. For those in need of root canal therapy, I recommend Dr. Farshey and his team for their professionalism and high standard of care.
Fantastic experience: Chevy Chase Endodontics has the loveliest and most professional staff I’ve ever encountered. Dr. Farshey makes sure that you are comfortable and fully numb before proceeding. During my first root canal with CCE, I felt so relaxed that I think I fell asleep! I can’t recommend this practice highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Root canals have a painful reputation in American lore but I can honestly say that my root canal at Chevy Chase Endontics was entirely pain free. Dr. Farshey and Staff are very professional and friendly. Could not recommend more highly.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey and the entire team at Chevy Chase Endodontics are absolutely incredible. From start to finish, they made me feel cared for and prioritized my comfort every step of the way. It’s clear that they truly care about their patients, not just as cases but as people. I felt completely at ease, and I only wish more doctors practiced with this level of compassion and professionalism. Highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: A very pain free and pleasant experience for a traditionally dreaded procedure. I also feel no pain today and am only taking the ibuprofen Mete sent me home with because she said I should in order to manage any swelling. Also Dr. Farshey perfectly numbed the tooth. I felt no pain but I didn’t have numbness all day and drank from a glass very soon after my root canal. I would send my best friends and loved ones to Dr. Farshey and Mete.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey is an excellent endodontist and everyone on his staff is just terrific. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.
Fantastic experience: I received excellent care. I would recommend Chevy Chase Endodontics for anyone who is fearful of going to the dentist. They are compassionate and caring. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Dr Farshey performed a root canal for me. It took less than an hour. I appreciated the calm and professional atmosphere created by his team.
Fantastic experience: I can best describe Dr. Farshey as he has gentle hands. My experience was far better than what I my expected. All of the staff was kind, professional, and helpful.
Fantastic experience: This place is outstanding, and the staff go above and beyond to make clients feel safe and supported throughout the entire experience. I’m so grateful they were able to fit me in on a day when I was in a great deal of pain. Dr.Farshey took the time to clearly explain my options and made me feel truly involved in the decision-making process. I’ve always experienced a lot of dental anxiety, but honestly, this was the best dental visit I’ve ever had. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Farshey and his entire team—they are professional, compassionate, and exceptional at what they do. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
Fantastic experience: I've been there twice now and needed a root canal 1st time and it turned out great! 2nd visit resulted in being told I didn't need one. Incredibly gracious and extended the visit to discuss my situation and what showed up on the 3D to insure I was okay. It's always a "pain" to go to the dentist, but Dr. Farshey and his staff are thorough and always have a smile!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey is literally amazing. Extremely well organized, prepared and skilled. Fabulous staff too.Couldn’t imagine having a better person to take care of my root canal. However, he is very expensive and expects you to file your own insurance claim.
Fantastic experience: This place is brilliant, and the staff empower clients to feel safe during the experience. I am thankful I was able to get an appointment on a day I was feeling so much pain. Dr. Farshay helped explain my options, and I could tell he cares about the longevity of oral health. It was also nice to hear him have great rapport and history with my dentist (Martin John W DDS). The dental assistants, Maritza and Claudia were also great too. They were patient, candid, and helped me understand what I needed to do for my root canal recovery. The little things go a long way, and I appreciate their professional dedication. I strongly recommend them to anyone seeking help. Thanks again to their staff!!
Fantastic experience: The whole process was fast and efficient! It was very cool seeing the technology used to support my procedure.
Fantastic experience: Dr Farshay and each staff member encountered were kind and competent. Each procedure was well explained and excellently executed.
Fantastic experience: I was quite anxious about having a root canal but was worried needlessly. The procedure was done so smoothly and the recovery has been a breeze. Everyone at Chevy Chase Endodontics made this experience pleasant.
Fantastic experience: I got a root canal from Dr. Farshey. I know this because I saw the before and after x-rays. To my astonishment, I felt no pain during or after the procedure. This is a stark contrast to my experience with prior root canals from a different provider. I cannot recommend Dr. Farshey highly enough.
Fantastic experience: OH NO! Not a root canal.The worst dental diagnosis possible.Not however with Dr. Farshey and his amazing assistant..Welcoming,comforting,and efficient professionals.Virtually pain free.If the requirement arises,a doctor you can trust,his team is the best. Bernard
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience considering I was there for a root canal. The staff was incredibly friendly, informative, and kind. They paid close attention to how I was feeling about the procedure and made me very comfortable at every step.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey is without parallel. He is outstanding. Zero pain throughout the procedure and afterwards.
Fantastic experience: All the latest diagnostic tech. Everyone a professional. They take the time to explain everything. And the best part: very little pain or stress. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: The doctor is very good and experienced. He is very patient and understanding. He makes sure you are comfortable and will answer your questions. He made me feel welcomed and safe. They have headphones with music you can listen to during the procedure and a television on the ceiling. If you have complications he will address it immediately. The office is clean and the staff is friendly. It is a warm and welcoming place to go. I highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey and his team are excellent. Made getting a root canal easier than having a cavity filled!
Fantastic experience: Dr Farshay did an excellent job explaining the root canal procedure and allaying my fears about the process. He is a skilled endodontist with great communication skills and “bedside manner.” He came highly recommended, and I’d easily choose him again if I ever had to have another procedure.
Fantastic experience: Dr Farshey is terrific. Fast turnaround on my appointment for a root canal and a relatively painless post op. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I felt like I was in great hands, and staff made sure I was comfortable and checked in with how I was doing throughout the whole root canal process.
Fantastic experience: Dr Farshey and his staff were thorough in their explanations of the course of treatment They answered all my questions and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the operation. Feel like I had the best of care
Fantastic experience: With my fifth root canal with either Dr. Farshey or Dr. Zia, I continue to be impressed and thankful that this practice exists. The entire staff is welcoming and professional and does everything they can to lower anxiety and pain. Both Dr. Farshey and Dr. Zia are clear in their answers and recommendations; they take whatever time is necessary to ensure that the patient understands the procedure and answer all questions. While nobody likes to go to the dentist, count yourselves very lucky if you "must" go to these two endodontists and their staff.
Fantastic experience: Very pleased with everyone in the office! The staff were so kind and professional. Dr. Farshey explained everything in detail regarding g the root canal. Had it yesterday and it went so well. Very very little post root canal discomfort. I would recommend this office!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with Dr. Reza Farshey and the entire staff! They care about patient comfort and made me feel very welcome and confident during the procedure. Dr. Farshey explained everything about my root canal treatment thoroughly beforehand. I will be going to this office for all my endodontic needs from now on. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience I had this week getting a root canal operation from Dr. Reza Rashad and his very efficient - and caring - Hygenist - Claudia. Who would have known that such a feared procedure could transpired with such a seamless, painless experience! WOW! Too bad it cost me an “ Arm & a Leg”!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Chevy Chase Endodontics! Professional, welcoming, considerate and kind. Honest. Trustworthy. I will use them again if necessary.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey is a very skilled Endodontist whom I trust, and highly recommend to anyone anxious about a root canal procedure.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshay was excellent! I had a root canal on a molar, and he finished the procedure in barely an hour. I've had other root canals done that took close to 3 hours. What a difference on the stress! Everyone was very professional, everything was thoroughly explained. Minor soreness for a few days.
Fantastic experience: There was Relaxing music to keep me calm! It went well with no pain., not even the injection. Dr Zia and his staff are great and caring. Glad I had my procedure done here!
Fantastic experience: Although I would like to, I doubt that I can add much to the uniformly excellent reviews that Dr. Zia richly deserves in this posting. I am an actor in DC and, as fate would have it, I had an awful toothache one Recent Friday morning. That is never any fun, but I had to be on stage for a local performance that evening. My dentist took me in that day but quickly assessed that I needed a root canal. We’re now early afternoon . He called Dr.Zia who, unhesitatingly took me in! Despite working against the clock (mine and his!) he was the very picture of calm, competence …AND kindness. He understood my unique situation and worked with uncommon efficiency. I was done by mid-afternoon, able to talk and ready to knock ‘‘em dead! The show went on, but only because of Dr. Zia’s uncommon commitment to help his patient in any way he could. A truly outstanding professional!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshay's skill is beyond compare. The staff is compassionate, calming and informative. It makes all the difference!!
Fantastic experience: Your work was so professional. I was in the chair for 3 hours, during which time you and the nurse were totally absorbed in your work. It was fascinating. And I didn't experience any pain/troubling disturbances. One very satisfied patient
Fantastic experience: I had an emergency situation and needed a last-minute appointment with an endodontist. After calling around, I was lucky enough to find Chevy Chase Endodontics, and I’m so glad I did! They were incredibly accommodating and fit me in on short notice, which I really appreciated. The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient from the moment I walked in. I've never had a root canal done before but Dr. Farshey was fantastic! He was calm, knowledgeable, and he explained everything in detail, putting my nerves at ease. The procedure was painless and I felt cared for the entire time! I’m so grateful for the outstanding service and how they made a stressful situation much more manageable. Highly recommend if you ever need an endodontist in a pinch!
Fantastic experience: I just completed a root canal with Dr.Farshey. He was wonderful. No pain, informative, and very skilled. I’d definitely go back!
Fantastic experience: I had a root canal and it was utterly painless. I had expected to have some discomfort and had absolutely none during or after the procedure. It was amazing.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous experience at Chevy Chase Endodontics yesterday! Dr Zia and Sima, his assistant, are warm and caring professionals. The front desk receptionist is lovely. The practice uses the latest technology to ensure all treatment is pain free and completed flawlessly. I would highly recommend Dr. Zia and team!!!!! Super grateful they were able to help me!
Fantastic experience: Root canals are not the best, but this experience was! Dr. Farshey explained the whole procedure and made sure I was comfortable with all the information (local vs general anesthetic, the pre- and post-op process, etc.). The rest of the staff are great and very friendly and conscientious. The noise cancelling headphones with classical music being piped in during the procedure was a plus, for sure. Very minor soreness that evening and now virtually none the day after.
Fantastic experience: Root canals are often so miserable that the term = misery. But Dr Zia and his team are so skilled and empathetic that getting a root canal is no more miserable than getting your teeth cleaned. First rate.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey is the consummate professional, caring and competent—resulting in a painless endodontic experience. His staff is very friendly both responsive to questions and guidance. I highly recommend Dr. Farshey!
Fantastic experience: The staff is professional, kind and gentle. They explained everything in way that it was easy to follow and understand. If you have to have a root canal, or other major dental work, they are the best.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic visit and the Dr. Was so kind. I've had a long list of dental work but this was some of the best. Timely, calm, thorough, explained and more. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Easily the best dentist experience I’ve had. The best of the best care with a sweet and compassionate staff. My root canal went extremely smoothly and it really was over before I knew it. HIGHLY recommend.
Fantastic experience: I am one of those unfortunate people who seem to be prone to cracked teeth or bizarre dental anatomy but was fortunate enough to be referred to Dr. Zia. He has performed several root canals on me and each procedure has been exceptional. I’ve never experienced any pain or discomfort either during the procedure or afterwards. In fact it could almost be described as pleasant. Dr. Zia and his entire staff are not only professional but exceptionally kind and caring. If you are looking for an endodontist who is not only skilled but truly cares about his patients, I can’t recommend Dr. Zia enough.
Fantastic experience: Patient Review, Part 1 of 2: If you need or are seeking the very best of the best for endodontic care, I highly recommend Dr. Reza Farshey and his team at Chevy Chase Endodontists. Dr. Farshey is not only brilliant in his field, but his bedside manner is absolutely unparalleled in how he cares for and communicates with his patients. Dr. Farshey took the time to explain all the endodontic options available and possible, their pros and cons, and their costs so that I could make the most informed decisions possible. Dr. Farshey took the time to not only answer, but also discuss each and every of my questions — even when I had three pages of them, with size 10 font and single spaced lines!! He sat beside me, read each question, and patiently discussed each one with me as if I were his colleague. Dr. Farshey so thoroughly impressed me with the quality and clarity of his explanations and answers. I felt like I was learning something valuable and new on each dialogue with him. I have not encountered another physician or medical professional with such skill in communicating with patients in more than a half century. Yes, he is that good. I was referred to Dr. Farshey by my dentist for a medical emergency. I had cracked a molar and it had become severely infected within a couple days. The infection spread across my lower jaw and began threatening my other teeth. I was in great pain. Dr. Farshey made an exception to his extremely busy schedule to see me with less than 24 hour notice as a new patient. Seriously, try that with ANY other physician or medical professional and see what happens. Without his immediate intervention, and with an entire summer weekend ahead with all other doctors away on vacation or with closed offices, the infection would surely have become sepsis and would have killed me. Dr. Farshey has an incredibly, high resolution, 3D X-ray technology in his office that is like a mini-MRI. It can see and find the smallest, hairline fissures and cracks in one’s teeth that absolutely cannot be detected or visualized by most other dental X-rays. Dr. Farshey not only found the crack in my molar, but was able to visualize it along multiple axes to understand exactly and how it had propagated throughout my tooth. Dr. Farshey uses the most advanced technology available that is proven. As he performed the root canal procedures on my tooth, it was amazing to see the triple monitors display precise calculations of the dimensions of my tooth as well as those for the chambers and canals inside my tooth. The artificial intelligence engine outlined various paths through my tooth, as well as the tool sizes. It also showed the progress made compared to the actions planned via 3D images of the teeth. Dr. Farshey used lasers to precisely clean and disinfect the interior chambers of my teeth, and remove necrotic pulp without removing or damaging any of the tooth itself. This helps maintain maximum integrity and strength of the tooth. Plus, there is no bacteria or pathogen in the world that is going to be able to resist and survive the intense, focussed, photonic energy from a laser! My root canal procedure, performed by Dr. Farshey, was one of the coolest “rides” I have ever experienced. I actually found it to be fun in a very cognitively stimulating way — which is something no one ever says about a root canal procedure (until now)! Dr. Farshey is an immaculate pro at administering the local anesthetic. He numbed exactly the area that needed to be free from pain, and was able to leave feeling in all other areas which provided very comforting sensory context to me. He has an 8-point diagnostic with your feedback to precisely and accurately confirm what what needs to be completely numb, is indeed so. I was so relaxed during both parts of the root canal procedure that I nearly fell asleep — and that’s without any anti-anxiety meds! Seriously, Dr. Farshey is that good at making certain you feel no pain and no discomfort. Continued (Please see attached image) …
Fantastic experience: I am repeatedly in awe of the phenomenal skill, transparency, and genuine caring of Dr. Zia and his team. Preserving bone due to an infection unfelt b/c it was in a previous root canal spot, and then preserving the cracked tooth under a crown (due to grinding my teeth at night) was so appreciated ( it prevented the need for an implant), and was nothing short of brilliant. Thank you, Dr.Zia and yr wonderful team.
Fantastic experience: I had several great Endontic Experiences with Dr. Zia and his team. Nurse Seema could not have been more supportive, and Dr. Zia is very professional, calming and kind. I’ve always felt in top-notch hands At this practice!
Fantastic experience: I had expected a lot of pain to accompany a root canal and was pleased to discover it was virtually painless under the auspices of Dr. Farshey.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Chevy Chase Endodontics is professional and gracious. Dr Zia has this gentle, calming way about him—professional, articulate, soft spoken, and confident. He’s an excellent doctor and kind. I also felt well informed about the procedure and outcomes. For the procedure, he had to cut through the gum, cut the existing post and recap it, attend to the infection and stitch up. How he managed to make it painless, I don’t know—even a day after the surgery. I could not have dreamed of a better experience and I’m grateful to have been introduced to their practice.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Zia is simply "the best" and his calm and reassuring manner for what is intrinsically an anxiety-provoking procedure is remarkable. His staff is of the same gentle manner. The office itself is zen-like and tranquil. Kudos to all!
Fantastic experience: My recent root canal was the most comfortable one that I have ever had. I had no discomfort after my treatment and did not even need to use any pain medication. Thank you Dr. Farshey and staff for your caring professionalization.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Pirooz Zia (and that wonderful Sima with him!) are remarkable professionals and angels in my book, who took care of a challenging tooth, and a scared to death patient. I expected professionalism but all the things they do to calm frayed nerves made them total champions in my book! Need a root canal? Go here with them!!! I think I even fell asleep!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Farshey and his team are wonderful! Their level of professionalism and ability to put patients at ease is unparalleled. I highly recommend their practice for those in need of endodontic services.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Zia and his staff demonstrated exceptional care, consideration, professionalism and simple kindness before, during and after the procedure. Dr. Zia was able to substantially reduce my stubborn gag reflex during the procedure. While not a procedure I'd wish to undergo regularly, I am very grateful that it was undertaken in the very capable hands of Dr. Zia and staff, to whom I will assuredly return if again necessary.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Zia has the magic touch and his staff is great. He's the only endodontist I've gone to for the last 15 years.
Fantastic experience: The practice made above and beyond efforts to create a calm environment for what most people consider a stressful appointment. Dr. Zia is very professional and personable which provides confidence for a great result! I would recommend Dr. Pirooz Zia to anyone needing his skills!
Fantastic experience: Dr Farshey and his entire team far exceeded my expectations from the initial consultation, through the actual procedure, to a few days post procedure. I never felt any pain, discomfort or anxiety. The entire team was caring, professional and extremely competent from the beginning to the very end. I have added them to my list of healers!
Fantastic experience: The endodontic procedure was smooth and painless. The staff were very professional and thorough. Recovery has been without any pain. This experience was five star.
Fantastic experience: Root canals are not pleasant; however, Dr. Farshey and his amazing staff made it comfortable, seamless, and pain free. Everyone in the office was timely, pleasant, and professional. The office feels very zen and has good magazines and books, if you need a diversion! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Zia performed my root canal - the procedure went extremely smoothly and he explained in detail what was transpiring as he was working. He is an excellent Endodontics Doctor, who is smart, caring & kind. His office staff is also top notch. I highly recommend Dr. Zia.
Positive experience: I felt there could have been more time showing me the expensive 3D scan that was done before root canal therapy. I thought it was a very short explanation, and didn’t understand why it seemed required that I make a separate trip out there if I wanted to learn more about it and the benefits. Not aware of any issues with the root canal therapy with Dr. Farshey—seems to have held up well for years now.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic endodontic experience yesterday. Pain free today thanks to the kind, incredibly adept team supporting Dr. Zia and the brilliance of Dr. Zia. Flawless execution and immediately successful.
Fantastic experience: My root canal procedure could not have gone better. The staff were warm and welcoming. They were attentive to my needs and concerns. Dr. Zia explained exactly what he was going to do. He has such a calming demeanor and I felt very relaxed. I felt no pain during or after the procedure. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had a root canal procedure at Chevy Chase Endodontics. Everyone there was amazing! The procedure was pretty much pain-free and over before I knew it. Afterward I took two Aleve and have been pain-free ever since. I highly recommend Chevy Chase Endodontics!
Fantastic experience: Dr Farshey and his assistant Claudia make having a root canal as comfortable and pain-free as I believe possible. The office is clean, efficiently run and with a staff that is pleasant and helpful. I couldn’t recommend the group more highly.
Fantastic experience: I had a root canal done and what anticipation anxiety about it because this was a first time experience with this type of work. However, after meeting dr. Farshey and Claudia, most of the fear disappeared. They are professional and kind, went over the imaging findings and explained to me what to expect. For comfort, they suggested an anxiolytic and I got a prescription for it, as well as for an antibiotic to take care of the local infection. The procedure itself went well under local anesthesia (as much as needed) and during the procedure, you can enjoy watching beautiful landscapes on a screen located above you. After the procedure, dr. Farshey and Claudia summarized the findings and discussed a follow-up plan. These people are wonderful, passionate about their work and very humane. You feel taken care of in all aspects. I highly recommend them if you need endodontal work. The ladies at the reception desk are also great, welcoming and helpful. No more fears and overall, a great experience!
Fantastic experience: I was extremely satisfied with the root canal Dr. Farshay performed. It was more complicated than other root cals I have had. The procedure was performed in less time than I expected and I had no pain or inflammation after the procedure.
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have had a better dental experience. The staff was kind, extremely communicative, and gentle. I am lucky to have found Chevy Chase Endodontics and wouldn’t go anywhere else in the future.
Fantastic experience: The combination of Dr. Zia's outstanding skills, his calm and calming manner and his wonderful assistant made my root canal procedure an absolutely positive experience. I am very thankful for the excellent care I received, and I highly recommend Dr. Zia and his team. Addendum 2-8-24: I had an additional root canal treatment by Dr. Zia a couple of days ago, and again I had an absolutely positive experience! I will always be grateful for the wonderful care Dr. Zia has given me! Erika Latchis
Fantastic experience: The team at Chevy Chase Endodontics was fantastic. After I was referred to them by my regular dentist, they took care of me with exceptional expertise, technical skills, and compassion, taking care of two complex issues for me. Like most, I was nervous, but from the get go, the team made me feel comfortable and made it a priority to ensure I was as relaxed as possible throughout the procedures. Their use of the latest technology is impressive, with computer targeted novacaine to minimize pain, and microscopes and specialized cleaning equipment to ensure the most successful procedures. Dr. Zia's technical expertise and competence quickly built trust. He thoroughly reviewed the pros and cons before the procedures, enabling me to make well informed decisions and making me part of the decision process. His assistant and Patient Care Coordinator, Sima, was equally expert and had a knack at keeping me calm throughout the procedures. Their seamless collaboration throughout the procedures was impressive. They don't work with insurance, so you will have to file your own insurance claim though. But Jennifer in the front office made sure I had all the paperwork and went above and beyond to gather a few additional materials my insurance provider needed. In short, I highly recommend the team at Chevy Chase Endodontics if you have to address complex dental issues.
