If you can ever say that a dental experience was amazing, this was it. I went for the dreaded root canal yesterday and WOW, Dr. Brennan and his staff are truly the best. Their bedside manner, scheduling, transparency for insurance billing and costs are a welcome relief. I have zero pain, or discomfort and Dr. Brennan was very efficient, accommodating and careful. So relieved to have found him and would recommend highly!!!

Tooth pain turned out to require a root canal. Dr. Brennan was the only one available to address it quickly. I've always had bad sinuses, which restricts my breathing. Mentioned that immediately to Brennan and asked if the chairs incline could be adjusted up slightly during the procedure. He denied my request. This made it difficult to breathe for the entire 1.5 hr procedure. As I desperately tried to suppress my breathing and intermittently gulp for air, Brennan continued to scold me. At some point, Brennan warned these slight autonomic movements could cause him to crack my tooth, then resulting in extraction. At multiple points, Brennan said I needed to take a valium or he'd start nitrous oxide. Either one would require me taking an Uber home, which I was trying to avoid. At no point during the procedure, did Brennan let me know how the procedure was going or where we were in the process. I attempted to get an idea of progress by listening to the banter between Brennan and his assistant. It was like the "low talker" Seinfeld episode, completely below any audible comprehension. After what seemed like an eternity, the Little Shoppe of Horrors ended. After inhaling my first complete breath, I asked Brennan for a brief on the procedure: did this solve the problem? I simply couldn't get a straight answer. Brennan, seeming put out and staring mostly at the floor said: "Might go this way, might go that...it will take a year to know." Now, I've had a couple previous root canals. Never before did the procedure seem like water boarding. Never was my request to be positioned in a slight upward incline denied. Any medical provider must blend two things: 1) technical skills and 2) bed side manor. Brennan may have one (that will take a year to confirm) but completely lacks the other. My recommendation: stay clear of Brennan.

On two different occasions I traveled from San Diego to have Dr. Brennan perform a root canal on me. My general dentist commented on the exceptional quality of work Dr. Brennan exhibited on both root canals. Dr. Brennan utilizes the latest technology ensuring the highest quality of work. Dr. Brennan was polite, professional, and affordable. I highly recommend Dr. Brennan to everyone.

The best in town! Dr. Brennan is professional, respectful and overall great human being. His wife and staff mirror his care. So grateful for my experience.

Dr. Brennan took me in for an emergency root canal, and it was pretty straightforward and painless, which rather sounds impossible. He and his staff were so professional and courteous, and I felt a thousand times better just hours after the procedure.

Unbelievably easy quick and pain free. Modern medicine is wonderful and Dr. Brennan is Really cool. I couldn't be happier about procedures.
