I absolutely loved the staff and Dr. Hsu, he was very informative through my whole procedure and he took the time to walk me through before, during and after the Root canal. I was very scared since this was my 2nd root canal and the 1st one was HORRIBLE experience. I definitely will be recommending him everywhere I go. The office is clean, small and very welcoming. The classical music that plays made me very calm and prepared. I also noticed he only schedules 1 patient at a time, at least when I arrived someone left and when I finished someone arrived. This made it a lot better for me since all the attention was to me. Just perfect!

My first root canal. At 65. Yuk. My wonderful dentist referred me to Dr. Hsu. The experience was as good as it can get. Dr. Hsu went above and beyond in explaining every single detail and never for a moment hurried me. It was painless. I was confident that Dr. Hsu was thorough. His office staff were professional and helpful. The office itself is spotlessly clean and the procedure room has a floor to ceiling window with a beautiful view. All of these things matter to me.
I was in his office four times and each time I heard the patient before me praising and thanking Dr. Hsu, profusely. It wasn't long before I was one of them. I don't have insurance and I didn't check to see if his prices are competitive. It doesn't matter. Should I require additional work, I will happily return to Dr. Hsu.

I have had multiple good experiences with Dr.Tony Hsu. He is a wonderful endodontist and a kind and caring person. He did a root canal on my lower molar in 2015 and since then I recommended him to friends and family. He did a root canal on my 96 year old aunt and she did very well. He is truly a painless and patient dentist. I have been to him twice regarding pain in my upper left quadrant. Once a few years ago and again this month. Both times examined me and tested the teeth in the area. After the thorough exam and looking at the r rays he concluded that it was probably not related to any teeth and more likely a result of inflamed sinuses or from clenching. He recommended I take Sudafed and have a dentist make me a night guard. He told me both times if the pain gets worse or lasts longer to call him. Both times he was right. I have an appointment now to have a night guard made.
I will conclude by saying Dr Hsu is not only very competent but also very knowledgeable and trustworthy. If I ever need another root canal there is no one I would trust as much as Dr Hsu.

Dr. Hsu is very patient, thorough, and has superb technique. He makes every effort to distinguish the tooth casing the pain vs. referred pain in other areas. Nobody looks forward to having a root canal but having had several by Dr. Hsu I can say with confidence that I have always been literally in the best of hands with him.

Dr Hsu saved my front tooth by redoing a 20-year old root canal, which became infected. In a series of three appointments he removed old post, treated the infection, and resealed the canal. He is my go-to Endodontist, especially for complex cases. I fully trust his judgement. He presented me with choices for the treatment, explained the risks of each option. He kept me well informed throughout the procedure, getting me ready for new sounds or tools. He uses state of the art instruments and equipment. His demeanor is kind, calming and confident. Always fully professional, he and his staff made each visit comfortable. Highly recommend.

Being a general dentist myself, I have referred my own patients to Dr. Tony Hsu because his work is truly exceptional and my patients always have good things to say about him and his staff. Last month, when I was having some pain on my molar tooth, I called him because I know that I can trust him and I also want a dentist who can give me a conservative and unbiased opinion regarding my own tooth pain. Surely, I was impressed! His office was very clean and organized and state of the art. He not only checked my tooth with his loops but he also looked through a microscope to check for possible fracture. He performed all the tests and was very thorough. He also discussed several treatment options with me. Dr. Tony Hsu is truly a professional and hopefully I will not need a root canal but if I do..he will be the one who I will choose. My tooth is pain free now and I am happy.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Hsu recently. He performed a root canal and I felt I was in excellent hands throughout. It was a painless experience and I appreciated Dr. Hsu's calm demeanor and his explanations of the various steps of the procedure as he was doing the root canal. In this COVID era he clearly followed all security guidelines and I felt very safe in his office. I would highly recommend him.

Root canal isn't one of life's pleasures, but Dr. Hsu made the experience as pleasant as possible. Beginning with the initial consultation to the completion of the process, he explained everything.

As I have been a recipient of many different dental procedures and in different locales during my lifetime, I feel qualified to comment. I can say with all honesty, Dr. Hsu and his staff made this a truly remarkable experience. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed. The entire procedure both before and after was explained with clarity and thoroughness. I was in an environment that was professional, capable, and caring. No question was silly. Best of all? I was actually smiling on my way out.

I was at Dr. Hsu's office for my appointment when the director of the NIH came in for his root canal. I knew I was at the right place. Needless to say, my root canal was quick, painless and I just needed the 2 aleves they gave me at the conclusion. I highly recommend Dr. Hsu

Even a retired dentist needs a root canal on occasion. This happened to be my first experience as an endodontic patient. The treatment was a complex upper molar with 4 canals. I was in pain when I arrived at Dr. Hsu's office. I was treated very professionally and I found the office to be extremely up to date and very welcoming. The root canal was done in 2 appointments, which was best treatment for an infected tooth. Both appointments, Dr. Hsu displayed great skill and caring. My pain diminished considerably and by the second appointment, I had no pain that night. I know how much goes into a procedure like that and the x-ray was something I appreciated more than the average patient. The experience at the office was very reassuring and positive.

While I was sitting in the dental chair at Dr. Hsu's office this morning I kept mentally reminding myself to write this review!!!!

I have severe dental phobia and have had to be sedated for several large cavity treatments in the past (by Dr. Tilken in Rockville) which was wonderful however I was determined to not have to do that again and try the root canal without any meds. I'm glad I did!

I have zero tolerance for pain and I felt absolutely none at all EVER during the entire procedure.

Dr. Hsu and his staff are truly wonderul and I have no fears for my 2nd visit next week.

Professional practice, skilled care, friendly staff. Dr. Hsu made time to see me for a referral consultation on the same day that my regular dentist recommended him. Dr. Hsu's time estimates are spot-on: I was seen on-time every visit, and every procedure took pretty much exactly as much time as he told me to expect. Dr. Hsu explained the procedure in advance, we covered billing, what to expect, possible outcomes, and aftercare, and during the procedures he would let me know what was about to happen as we went along, e.g., that I would feel a vibration but that it would only last a few seconds, or that there would be a pressure but that I shouldn't turn my head in response to it. I appreciated Dr. Hsu's personal concern and the warmth of his staff.

Dr. Hsu is THE best. He is totally outstanding. He is kind, caring, gentle and virtually painless. His techniques and equipment are cutting edge, and he explains each step of the way. His office staff, both front desk and assisting, are similarly skilled and caring, and go out of their way to be helpful. I can not say enough about how excellent his technique is. Particularly for anyone with fear of dental procedures, especially root canals, this is the doctor to see. I wish he could train all endodontists in his techniques, but wouldn't want to lose him either! Do yourself a favor and see Dr. Hsu. He is totally awesome, just the best of the best.

I wouldn't see anybody else in the event I needed a root canal on another tooth.

Tony is top is the best and you can be assured that he will give you the finest care. Don't make the mistake I made and let your regular Dentist do a root canal. That choice led to years of pain. Ultimately, Tony found a lingering infection that another dentist could not see and my years of pain could be rectified. Sadly, if I had just had the original root canal with Dr. Hsu, I may have avoided the problems that followed.

I was shaking with anxiety when I went for my first appointment for root canal with Dr. Hsu. But as soon as I met him he explained the whole procedure and made sure I understood the process. Dr Hsu has a very gentle touch. The only pain/discomfort I felt was the initial shots. After the procedure I was in absolutely no pain for a few days and then a little pain on the 3rd and 4th day. Nothing that 2 Tylenol couldn't take care of. I had no swelling or even tenderness afterward. I have had tooth cleanings that were more painful than this root canal. His office staff are very accommodating and sweet they even followed up with me the next day to check in.

Dr. Hsu is as good as it gets...when one's receiving a root canal that is. Who wants to go and have a root canal?! Well I had to and was dreading it. But as soon as I was put in the chair I was put at ease. He not only has a great view out his office window (as you sit in the chair) but he has a great staff! Super cheerful and very very kind.

When I met Dr. Hsu, we was so so nice and so gentle. He explained everything and went over my xrays with me. Very helpful. When he started the process he explained everything that he was going to do before he actually started doing it.

I never felt pain and he asked me every so often how I was doing. After my first part of the canal they hand you a nice, warm, lemon-scented towel, a water, Advil and follow-up with a call the next day to see how you are doing. Nothing was rushed and at one point I even fell asleep in my chair! I kid you not.

I truly mean the 5-star evaluation. In February 2023, Dr Hsu and his assistant, Wendy, recently completed a two-visit, root canal of my upper, right wisdom molar. It is in a very awkward location. I was extremely pleased with the results and hopefully I can hang on to my molar as a result of the root canal therapy. What first impressed me about Dr Hsu was the care and attention he used to inject the local anesthetic into my jaw and into the roof of the mouth; he really took his time. Meanwhile, his assistant, Wendy, did her utmost to comfort an obviously nervous patient!

Dr Hsu explained the process very well, answered my frequent questions and generally was very polite, understanding and accommodating.

Needing a root canal in a lower molar, my dentist referred me to Dr. Hsu. From previous experience, I knew that these molars are very difficult to anesthetize. When this tooth was originally filled, I endured most of the procedure without anesthesia even though several Novocain injections had been administered. Dr. Hsu was careful, gentle, patient, and thorough. This particular root canal was quite tortuous and required two drilling sessions, but Dr. Hsu made sure I was anesthetized every step of the way of the way, reinjecting with anesthetic whenever I indicated that I felt a twinge. Through over two hours of drilling, I was never in pain. I have had root canals before done by other endodontists, but my experience with Dr. Hsu was by far the best. He clearly cares about his patients, as does the rest of his staff. I don't want to have any more root canals, but if I need one, I certainly won't dread it. With Dr. Hsu and his staff, I know it will be a positive experience.

Dr.Tony Hsu did a very good root canal on a friend's tooth...so when I needed a root canal I went to him also. He did a great job and I have since referred several people to him, including my 96 year old aunt who had a broken tooth and a painful toothache. Since the tooth was infected, she was kept on antibiotics until that cleared up. Dr. Hsu was very cautious to clear the infection up 100% which took several weeks. Fortunately she never had any pain when Dr. Hsu worked on her tooth or afterwards. It is completed now and he referred her to a general dentist to either fill the tooth or put a crown on it, if a crown is needed.

He always greets his patients with a very friendly smile and both his receptionist and his chair side assistant were extremely nice. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an endodontist, a specialist who does root canals.
