Testimonial from Dr. Janice B
Liwen Tao did a root canal for me several years ago, and it was a very pleasant experience. Like most dentists, I had diagnosed my own problem — my first molar needed a root canal. Dr Tao did a thorough exam, then very politely told me it was my second molar that needed treatment. I told her I was certain it was my first molar. She said “trust me” and did a root canal on my second molar. Both teeth have been just fine since! I’ve told that story to many of my patients, and we just chuckle about it.
Dr Liwen Tao is always my first choice for a root canal specialist for my patients. She is very pleasant and kind, and does beautiful work. Her staff is very easy to work with and my patients are seen in a very timely manner.
I feel that we are very fortunate to have an endodontist of Liwen Tao’s caliber in our community. I recommend her highly.

Testimonial from Mary B.I have a very small mouth but needed a molar root canal. No other dentists wanted to work on me. Dr Tao did my root canal with her small hands and gentle touch.

Testimonial from Dr. Linda JI often tell my patients my story of root canal therapy. Dr Tao did a root canal on me several years ago. She did the work painlessly and I felt so good afterward that I shopped for 3 hours at a Talbot’s sale! Anyone who’s been to those sales knows you have to be in good shape to weather a sale!
My tooth’s been great ever since. Dr Tao’s kindness and expertise make her terrific. I send all my root canal patients to her without hesitation. She’s great!
