"This entire office is phenomenal. All the staff that I engaged with from start to finish were pleasant and so helpful, and Dr. Shapiro was absolutely amazing, informative, and positive. As someone who works in healthcare and someone very afraid of the dentist, I deeply appreciated being informed every step of the way; and the delicacy and care that I was handled with- really hard to come by these days especially in dental care. I had a root canal, didn’t feel a single thing, barely felt the numbing needle. He just might be a magician 🪄 thank you Dr. S & team!"

"I went in for a root canal. I was in and out of that place so fast. Painless. I’ve had small cavities take longer."
"Dr Eric Shapiro performed a root canal and I was completely satisfied and totally impressed with not only the results but the entire staff at the facility. The surprise was an 8pm text from the Doctor inquiring about how my tooth felt and my well-being. My honest answer was, the tooth felt like it never had a root canal, there were no after procedure issues at all. I highly recommend Dr Shapiro and his staff as the " Go to solution for all your immediate endodontic needs.""
"I was there for 2 root canals. The front staff were very nice. I was nice to see humans and not machines to sign it. I was seen by Dr. Shapiro. He was excellent. Made me feel confident with regards to his skills. He let me know when the injections were going to hurt. It still hurt but I had time to prepare. Checked on how I was doing during the procedure. His assistant did the same. A person can't ask for better professionals. If need to have something done, that is the place to go."
"first time having a root canal done.greeted with a smile when I came into office to check in.ERIN DR SHAPIROS assistant came and got me from waiting area.erin was very professional through out procedure.she answered questions I had while waiting for the DR.DR SHAPIRO was great,made me feel very comfortable about procedure.before I knew it root canal was done.if I had to have another at some point I would go back to WESTERN MASS ENDO AGAIN."
"Mr. Shapiro and staff was great I was taken in for an emergency root canal on two teeth today the procedure was prepped and performed within an hour and went absolutely perfect couldn't have gone better"
"Absolutely impressed with the efficiency and team work . Had a root canal and it was the quickest iv’e ever had . From novacaine to root canal finish was 1/2 hour and post x-rays showed success . Dr. Shapiro and his assistant were amazing . Highly recommend. I was stressed going in thinking it would be an hour or better. They have truly nailed down a great process in doing this as experts !!"

"I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Shapiro and his team. Despite my anxiety and the short notice, he was able to perform a root canal within an hour of my call. Dr. Shapiro and his staff were incredibly kind and compassionate, making me feel heard and understood. The office atmosphere is welcoming and professional. I’m so grateful for the referral and couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Highly recommend!"
"I was referred here by my dentist for a root canal. Dr. Shapiro made the experience painless and over in 40 minutes. He explained what to expect before, during and after. Highly recommend WME"
"I walked into the office terrified that I would lose my tooth. Dr. Shapiro had X-rays taken and performed some tests needed to find out the reason for my pain. He then stated I would need a root canal and performed it right then and there. Thank you so much for fitting me in as an emergency."
"Outstanding Care I was seen for an emergency root canal in pain that was off the charts. The front office was kind and explained everything very clearly regarding my procedure and insurance. Dr. Shapiro and his assistant were compassionate, patient and professional. This team made my dental emergency so much more tolerable. A huge thank you to all!"
"Today I had my first experience with Dr Shapiro and his staff. I can’t say enough about them. They are caring, calming, professional and work together like a well oiled machine. If you need a root canal go see them. You’ll have the best experience possible!!"
"Best root canal I've ever had!! Absolutely no pain during and after. If I ever need another root canal I will definitely go back there"
"Eric and his staff were 100% professional. This was my second Root Canal at this location in 10 years. If you are an adult who can stomach having a Root Canal.. this is the place to have it done."
"I was referred here by my dentist for a root canal on one of the crowns that he had just placed. For 2 weeks, I was in pain 24/7 after getting my crowns, and it was a nightmare. I met Dr. Shapiro that same day I was referred, and he tested my teeth to try to see which one it was that was bothering me. I unfortunately was having pain in both and my dental benefit was already mostly used on the crowns, which means I was paying out of pocket for the root canal, with no credit card to help. I wasn't able to pay for 2 and was going to have 1 pulled instead. He helped me out big time and I will never forget his kindness. From the first visit, to the last, he was so caring and professional. Even during the process, he would ask me if I was doing ok and made sure I was comfortable. Two root canals, and I was in and out in about an hour. I was in shock. I highly recommend him and his staff. I am looking forward to being pain free and will be forever grateful to Dr. Shapiro. There's a reason they have almost 5 stars!"
"Today was rough….. root canal. Dr. Shapiro was amazing. He was so patient, caring. I would recommend him to anyone 👍 thank you 😊"
"Went for an emergency root canal. All staff were kind and empathetic. They have the rare quality of listening to and believing patients instead of dismissing their experience or pain as "just dental anxiety." The actual procedure was quick and painless and I had barely any pain afterwards. The doctor texted me in the evening to see if I was OK! Would recommend this place to anyone who is caught in a bad dental cycle and needs a good experience."
"I hardly ever leave reviews, but I can’t say enough good things about this office. Quick and to the point, while also being kind and personal and caring. Actually made me like getting a root canal! Would absolutely recommend. ❤️"
"I recently had a root canal performed on my upper teeth by Dr. Eric, and I couldn't be more satisfied. His professionalism, exceptional technique, and extensive experience were evident throughout the procedure. What impressed me most was the care he took to ensure a pain-free experience. Dr. Eric's expertise made the process smooth and comfortable. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking dental care; his skill and dedication truly set him apart ❤️."
"I had the privilege of visiting Western Mass Endo in West Springfield for a root canal consult. I was hoping to find out that I needed a root canal, and then be scheduled before the end of the year. Boy was I surprised that I was able to do it all in one visit. I guess it did not give me time to back out. I couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional care and expertise I received. Dr. Shapiro and the entire staff at the clinic were not only welcoming and compassionate but also highly professional. I was sent to Dr. Shapiro because I am currently being treated for cancer, and there were some concerns on my dentists' part due to some of my treatments. Dr. Shapiro put me at ease that there was nothing to worry about and ensured that all my questions and concerns were addressed promptly. When it came time for the root canal procedure, Dr. Shapiro's competence was evident. He explained the entire process in a clear and understandable manner, alleviating any apprehensions I had. (which were many) Throughout the procedure, he constantly checked in with me to ensure I was comfortable and pain-free, which I greatly appreciated. The root canal was done with precision, and I was done in less than an hour. Dr. Shapiro made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. He even followed up with me later that day to make sure everything was good. I was very surprised that he did that, and it felt good that he cared. You will be in good hands with Dr. Shapiro and his staff."

I also want to express my deep appreciation for Dr. Shapiro’s incredible dental assistants, Erin and Rachel, who played a crucial role in my positive experience. They were not only proficient in their tasks but also incredibly kind and attentive. From assisting Dr. Shapiro during the procedure to providing reassurance and answering my questions, their support was invaluable. Their friendly and compassionate demeanor helped alleviate any anxiety I had, making me feel like I was in the best possible hands. In conclusion, I can't praise Dr. Shapiro and his team enough for their outstanding service. Not only did they save my tooth with a successful root canal, but they also made the entire experience as pleasant as possible.

"I had a root canal with Dr Shapiro today. He and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable. The office was clean, staff was friendly, my tooth came out great! I came to this office 6 years earlier for another tooth for a root canal. Same result excellent work. Highly recommended. Thank you!"
"I cannot tell you how amazing Western Mass Endodontics is. I needed a root canal and got same day service. Dr. Shapiro was so nice. The entire experience was great."
"Efficient office, kind and friendly staff. I had a 2:30 appointment and I left by 3:30 after a root canal. Wonderful experience. Not to even mention Dr. Shapiro!!!"
"Everyone there treated me with such compassion for the pain I was in. They even got me in earlier than expected , and when I arrived they again showed compassion and worked quickly to resolve my issue. Had a root canal and felt in good hands the whole time. Thank you all for your professionalism and care!"
"I never usually write reviews but Dr. Shapiro absolutely deserves 1000 stars! He is kind, understanding and professional. The list could go on for ever! I called today because I was in excruciating pain like up all night. And another office wanted to make me wait until the end of august. I know they’re very busy. So on a whim I decided to call western endo and holy smokes! From being able to get me in for an emergent visit to the incredible caring staff I am beyond impressed. Maura(receptionist)was so kind and understanding and I felt so deserving of the care I received today. I for sure hope I don’t need another root canal but I will for sure be coming here if the need ever arises again❤️"
"Great experience! Dr. Shapiro’s entire team from the first phone call to the actual root canal and follow up by Dr. Shapiro himself was professional, caring, making you feel comfortable ever step of the way! Thanks to the entire staff for your dedication! Christine"
"I just want to say that this was one of the best dental experiences I've had. The wait time was very minimal, I was able to get in, get my X-Rays done, have a scan done of the area, and have the Root canal performed very quickly. Dr. Shapiro was thorough with his explanations of what he was doing and kept all pain to an absolute minimum. Although dental work is not fun WME made it a lot more bearable. Also Dr Shapiro provided a follow up the next day to make sure the tooth was feeling good. Truly an amazing organization."
"I got right in for an emergency visit even though I had never been there before. The entire staff was extremely welcoming and very helpful. Dr. Shapiro was amazing. He did my emergency root canal so quickly and I did not feel a thing. My whole experience was a 10 out of 10."
"Dr. Schapiro was amazing! I have really bad dental anxiety and this was my first root canal ever but he made the process quick, painless and comfortable! He followed up with me the next morning to check in. I definitely recommend their office!"
"I was very impressed with Dr Shapiro who performed a root canal today. He took the time to explain the entire procedure while performing the procedure. I would give him an A+"
"Exceptional job fixing a damaged tooth. The office was able to squeeze in my root canal before my vacation, with no hesitation. The staff was welcoming professional and clearly very good at what they do. Office is beautiful, bright and stocked with modern equipment. I have had two root canals in the past from a hockey injury, so was concerned about the amount of pain I might have to stick out. That said, Dr. Shapiro and his team made me feel completely comfortable and confident in the process from the second I was in the chair. I felt nothing. If I ever have to get work done like this in the future I will absolutely be back. The team at Western Mass Endo is as refined as they come. I can’t thank them enough. If you need a root canal, these are your people. -Tim"
"Dr Shapiro did an excellent job performing a root canal and eliminating my tooth pain, I had comfort quickly. The staff was great getting me in as it became to get relief. I will highly recommend Western Mass Endo and Dr Shapiro."
"I was referred to Western Mass Endodontics by my dentist after waking up Monday morning in excruciating pain and my right side swollen. I was astounded when they were able to see me the same day. I was assisted by Dr. Shapiro - very kind, informative, and professional. The root canal was incredibly quick and painless. Dr. Shapiro even checked in with me later that day to see how I was. Very impressive client care."
"Dr Shapiro did a root canal on a heavily filled tooth with a crown in less than 30 minutes !!! Another dentist said it could not be done while I had a small, bubble abscess. He also followed up with texts to check my condition. Fantastic!"
"Went in with tooth pain that needed a root canal. After a quick exam, they got me sorted right away. Was totally painless and nothing like you would expect. I was in and out in like 40 minutes and my tooth felt great afterward. Great staff and as great an experience as one could have to get your tooth drilled."
"First time to their office. Had a root canal done. Dr Shapiro and staff were great during the entire procedure."
"Fast, friendly, and great work as I needed an emergency root canal completed! Very professional and 100% satisfied with the work! Thank you..."
"I highly recommend western mass endo. Very professional, efficient, kind and pain free. I've had a few root canals and this was by far the best experience I've had. I want to thank Dr. Shapiro, Rachel and the rest of the staff for a great experience."
"I had an appointment at Western Mass Endodontics in September.Unfortunately my tooth got infected and the pain was excruciating.I called there and they took me in within 2 hours.The staff and the doctor were Awesome! They took me right in the room and the doctor relieved my pain within minutes of sitting in the chair.He did my root canal in like an hour.This doctor is the best,and his entire staff are very caring as well.

"Dr. Shapiro and his team were so welcoming and amazing. Great job on my root canal treatment."
"Great staff. A surprisingly painless root canal. Who knew!"
"Painless, fast and decent people. Awesome (for a root canal)"
"When I called to schedule a root canal after my dentist’s recommendation, I was given a next day appointment because I was in pain. The entire procedure was almost painless except for the Novocain, which was momentarily a big pinch then done. I was impressed with every member of the team, especially Dr. Shapiro, who explained everything he was doing and treated me with kindness and professionalism. We were finished in an hour and now, 7 hours later, I can truthfully report that I have not experienced pain of any kind. I urge anyone dreading this procedure to not wait. Thank you, Western Mass Endo!"
"I just got a root canal from Dr Shapiro and he redefines the dental experience! From the professionalism and efficiency of his staff to his relaxed, confident “chairside” manor, this was easily the most pleasant dental experience I’ve ever had (and I’ve had plenty!). We’ll done Doc!"

"I cannot rate this office highly enough for the kindness and compassion they showed me today. Every single staff member made my visit go as smoothly as possible. I anticipated far more pain during my root canal, and I was shocked when the doctor said we were finished. Because of them I’ll finally be able to sleep tonight. I cannot thank them enough. 💜"
"I saw Eric Shapiro, DDS for my first root canal today. I am extremely anxious about any dental experiences, but I felt more than comfortable in their office. He and everyone else I interacted with were accommodating, friendly, and I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, especially those with any dental fear or anxiety."
"My 15 yr. old grandson needed a root canal done and Western Mass Endodontics was the referral his local dentist gave us. Eric Shapiro was the Endodontist that performed the root canal. We can't say enough good things about the Dr. and the staff. It was amazing from start to finish and even a call from Dr. Shapiro hours after the procedure to see how my grandson was doing. His mother was beyond satisfied.....A++++++++"

"Dr Eric Shapiro fit me into his busy schedule within 24 hours of my call, as I was experiencing tooth pain. The root canal was scheduled and including diagnosis, assistant's prep, the root canal procedure and concluding insurance work...30 minutes total. I cannot speak highly enough about the professionalism and the caring, easy going nature of doctors and staff at Western Mass Endo. Over the years, I have had interactions with four of the doctors and members of the staff, all have been exceptional. I am indeed grateful."

"Gentle , Fast, pain free , emergency root canal ! Staff very Helpful & Friendly! Big Thank You to Dr Shapiro 🤗"
"I walked in unknowing, a bit in fear Well really scared!!! From entry to exit the experience was filled with knowledge, professionalism and a Doctor & assistant who truly wanted me to understand the process, walked me through as the procedure continued, explained what to expect including the after care …. And … I got a text asking me how it was going ! Believe me a root canal is something frightening however with the practice, the people and my doctor Dr Eric Shapiro … I pleased to announce A JOY 🦷 ( if one needs a root canal that is 😂) Thank you !!!"
"I would recommend WMEndo over and over! It was a clean, professional, and top notch experience. I needed care and was able to get in at one of the offices a little further away but it was the next day which was great. The front desk staff was courteous, had papers for me to fill out with one on COVID, and they have air purifiers that kill viruses. They took me in for a consult, did the procedure, and I was on my way within 30-40 minutes. I was very numb and the doctor was kind, strong, and made sure that I was doing okay and checked in the whole time. The nurse was also really sweet in letting me know exactly what was going on. I got x-rays and they decided I was a good candidate for a root canal so once I was numbed up they put in a dental dam that goes around the tooth and snaps in to protect your face and mouth from excess debris. It was quite a wonderful protective barrier and made things quick and easy. Professional, sterile, prepared, quality equipment and up to date tools and methodology while being warm and safe and comfortable. Made me feel like I was in good hands! The infection was deep. I was already on antibiotics so he did not want to overprescribe them which is wise, I definitely trust their judgment. They asked me if I had any questions. Eric even texted me later to make sure the tooth was doing okay and it was much better. They were clear about me feeling free to call with any questions or needs afterwards. One year later I get a free check up to make sure it’s healing well. I made a follow up appointment with my dentist for the finished crown, it’s just a temp plug, but it took away all the pain I had in my tooth before. When I got home I told my mom I would have a root canal in all my teeth there (haha, hopefully not necessary though) but really, it was the best experience it could’ve possibly been with the help of Western Mass Endodontics! Saved a little money paying with a debit card. I would absolutely recommend this practice, at any of the offices, but Dr Eric Shapiro is the best and did a superior number! Anyone needing this service absolutely needs to go here to be taken care of, I highly recommend it!"
"If I could come here for all of my dental work, I would. When I was younger I had a very bad experience with a root canal that instilled a fear of dentists that I’ve only recently overcome for routine cleanings and cavities, but hearing root canal still struck a nerve (lol). I came in expecting the worst but already in enough pain to face my fears, which turned out to be totally unfounded. Absolutely everyone in that office was friendly, reassuring, and gladly answered my millions of questions. Dr. Shapiro was so fast and thorough explaining everything to me, and even followed up hours after my appointment to see how I felt as the numbing went away. I’m still in shock with how little pain I experienced. He warned me about basic soreness and I haven’t even noticed that. My mouth feels totally fine. I never thought I’d have a preference on where to get a root canal, but here we are."
"I highly recommend Western Mass Endo! Dr. Shapiro and team were amazing. My root canal was completely painless and I was in and out in 30 minutes. Dr. Shapiro followed up with me via text later in the day and I was pleasantly surprised by this gesture. 5 stars!!!"

"The doctor and dental assistant were so friendly and efficient! I was brought in emergent my for a very painful tooth and they handled it that day, within 3 hours! The doctor managed to do multiple root canals at the same time! Painless, quick, and friendly! Would recommend!"

"I had an emergency root canal, which I was extremely nervous about. I called the office at 10am, and was in the chair by 12. Dr. Shapiro and his assistant walked me through everything. The procedure was absolutely painless (besides the initial pinch from the anesthetic). I’ve had zero tooth pain since the procedure, and the tooth was killing me for two days prior. The whole process was quick, efficient, comfortable and painless. Dr. Shapiro even reached out later in the evening to see if I was okay."
"The staff in the West Spfld office was so friendly and kind. I was in extreme pain and they took me right away. Dr. Shapiro is amazing!! My root canal was quick and painless!! If I ever need an endodontist in the future, I will go here."
"Dr. Shapiro is a amazing human and dentist! I don’t know about you, but I get super anxious going to he dentist. His presence made me feel at ease and comfortable prior to my procedure, a root canal. He x-rayed multiple times to verify completion & chatted with me throughout the process. To end the day- he followed up with a text and asked me how I was doing! Strongly recommend this dentist! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"No one likes getting dental work done let alone a root canal. The folks at western mass Endo are fantastic, the dr and assistant that worked on me where like the NASCAR pit crew of dentistry. I couldn’t believe how fast they were able to complete the work all with a smile and reassuring words. Can’t say enough good things about them!!!!"

Absolutely everyone in that office was friendly, reassuring, and gladly answered my millions of questions. Dr. Shapiro was so fast and thorough explaining everything to me, and even followed up hours after my appointment to see how I felt as the numbing went away. I’m still in shock with how little pain I experienced. He warned me about basic soreness and I haven’t even noticed that. My mouth feels totally fine. I never thought I’d have a preference on where to get a root canal, but here we are."
"Excellent !!! Dr Eric Shapiro makes having a root canal a pain free pleasant experience."
"My husband had to have a root canal on the Friday before memorial Day, Dr Shapiro called or texted on Saturday to make sure he was doing okay remember this is memorial Day weekend, this was very much appreciated My husband was in a lot of pain on Friday and he was doing a lot better on Saturday and even better on Sunday but Dr Shapiro did follow up on Saturday and we appreciated that we would recommend this office to anyone!"
"Dr. Shapiro & his assistant (Elise?) were informative, professional, and efficient prepping me for a root canal. The old root canal / crown failed and needed new work. I am very pleased that the Doctor was able to save the tooth, which will now require a new crown. Dr. Shapiro explained every step in the procedure. As a Senior male having many visits to dentists over the decades, I have to note Dr. Shapiro stood out as one of the best dental doctors I have had to visit. I can easily recommend WME for service.

"Very nice MD ! Got me in early for a root canal and I was out in a half hour ! Minimal discomfort . Extremely friendly staff and wonderful MD !!!"
"Dr. Shapiro was great! He paid close attention to my needs and made a root canal as painless as possible. He even followed up with me a few hours afterwards to make sure I was doing ok. Top notch patient care and a refreshing experience. Highly recommend!"
"Dr. ERIC SHAPIRO performed my emergency root canal. The office fit me in on the same day... which I am very grateful. I was apprehensive about pain & feeling the procedure due to past problematic experiences with novacaine....I explained my concerns to Dr. Shapiro & he did an awesome job with numbing the area. The root canal was done with no issues. I was very appreciative of Dr. Shspiro& his wonderful assistant (I apologize for not remembering her name) for talking the time explaining the whole procedure, relaxing me & what to expect afterwards. All the staff throughout the office were really friendly. I totally recommend this practice."
"Having been in pain for several weeks, my dentist sent me to see Dr. Odeirna. With precise explanations from Dr. Odeirna and his staff, I knew exactly what to expect. After isolating and fixing the problem, I was on my way to complete relief. I woke up the next morning and for the first time in months, I was able to drink hot and cold liquids without a twinge of pain. I was completely "blown away" by Dr. Odeirna's expertise, precision and knowledge in his field. He is an extremely competent professional endodontist and I Highly recommend him to anyone needing a root canal."

"Dr. Shapiro was knowledgeable, very quick and professional. He even reached out after my root canal that evening to ensure I was okay. The office was able to get me in quick. The dental assistant was amazing. Very kind and also knowledgeable. I’ve had bad experiences in the past but this experience was quick and the only pain and discomfort was from the shot of novocaine."
"I arrived at my appointment for a consult on the cause of an infection I had. The Dr. decided I needed a root canal. I expected the process to take a couple of hours and multiple appointments. The entire root canal only took an hour. I did not experience any pain during or after the procedure. I am very satisfied with the work that was done while I was in their West Springfield office."
"I was extremely pleased with the entire visit. I had been referred to this office by my dentist to have Dr. Shapiro evaluate the need for a root canal procedure. I was a bit apprehensive about the visit; my last root canal was over 12 years ago and I spent 2 hours in the chair. I immediately felt at ease when I walked in. The receptionist was friendly and courteous, and explained exactly what to fill out with the initial paperwork. The dental assistant explained the what would be done, and Dr. Shapiro took the time to answer all of my questions. The entire procedure took under 45 minutes and was unbelievably painless! I was pleasantly surprised to receive a text later in the afternoon from Dr. Shapiro asking how the tooth was feeling. To everyone in the office - Great job!"

"I was told by my dentist that the tooth needed to be pulled out because it was cracked and too far gone. I was referred to a dentist to have the tooth pulled out. On my arrival there the dentist took another xray and found that the tooth was very much salvageable and they made the call to WME and Dr Eric Shapiro did the work after doing another xray to make sure the tooth could be saved. After the xray at WME Dr. Shapiro gave me the great news that he could save my tooth. He was very gentle in doing the procedure and numbed me so I felt no pain while he worked on my tooth. Usually a root canal takes two visits but Dr. Shapiro completed the entire root canal that day. Now my tooth is ready for my primary dentist to put on the crown. I was so thrilled by his job and glad that he saved my tooth. That evening he contacted me himself to see how I was doing and if I was having any pain. I thanked him for being such a caring Endontist to check up on me as I live alone after my husband passed away in 2017. I live with my two Yorkies. He is a very professional and caring person who did a fantastic job on my tooth. I would highly recommend anyone to see him to SAVE THEIR TOOTH AND NOT PULL IT OUT. I TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS A SUPERMAN WITH HIS PROFESSION. HE IS VERY CARING WHICH GIVES HIM A+ FOR HIS PROFESSION. HE ALSO GOES THE EXTRA STEP TO CHECK ON HIS PATIENT THAT HE WORKED ON AND THAT'S A SPECIAL TOUCH. THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR THE EXCELLENT WORK."
"Everyone is truly caring and wonderful there. I had 2 root canals on the same day, and never felt pain - they were that good. I highly, highly recommend them. You’re in truly capable hands with them. They always go the extra mile - I have had a few teeth fixed by them. The dentist even called me after to see how I was!"
"My13 year old granddaughter was very nervous she had a bad experience in the passed. Dr Scott and his staff were very patient with her and made her feel comfortable and not nervous. Dr. Scott was able to finish the root canal with no problem. We would highly recommend his practice to our family and friends. Thank you"
"Very helpful and concerned about the issues after my root canal. Always ready to help. Dr. Granados was excellent to deal with as was the whole staff."
"I was so getting a root canal done. Lets just say Jess and Dr. Shapiro, went over and beyond. They made me feel comfortable abs were very knowledgeable every step of the way in letting me know each step they took. Best experience 🙏❤"

"I was seen on an emergency basis for a root canal procedure that necessitated two visits. Dr. Shapiro was comforting, informative and reassuring. He frequently spoke with me throughout the process, keeping me at ease. Following each visit, Dr. Shapiro inquired offline how I was feeling and if I had any concerns. The only concern I have at this point is my hope that other healthcare professionals would follow his lead. I'm old enough to remember when doctors made house calls. To that end, Dr. Shapiro is a modern day throwback to that era. He and his staff are indeed worthy of a 5 star review."

"Took me in when I needed a emergency root canal and took exceptional care of my situation and did part of the procedure so quickly and pain free that I Didn’t even realize it was done! Definitely recommend Dr Shapiro and his team."
"Quick and basically painless root canal. The whole process was explained in great detail before the work started and every step along the way. Can’t say enough how impressed I was, especially in contrast to the dentist office who did the work that caused me to need to visit Western Mass Endo in the first place."

I was surprised but pleased when I received a text from him that same evening inquiring about the status of my tooth. I have no reservations about recommending and endorsing Dr Eric Shapiro."
"After my root canal I realized that Dr. Shapiro is happy, calm and confident for the best reason: he is very, very good at what he does."

"I was referred for a root canal therapy but Dr. Odierna after seeing the x-rays determined that the tooth was not a candidate. Any unscrupulous practitioner could have gone ahead with the procedure. I appreciate the professionalism involved."
"Dr. Shapiro & the staff are exceptional. They are vert professional & courteous. No pain from the root canal. Highly recommend."
"I went in for a root canal yesterday which is a procedure I've had done twice before at other offices, but with very negative experiences. I was the first appointment of the day and I was greeted by one of the assistants who was incredibly pleasant for how early in the day it was. I was then given my paperwork, etc. and then was seated in the chair very promptly. The assistants were so kind and so informative, they had no problem putting me at ease prior to the procedure. Dr. Shapiro came in and explained what needed to be done and even took additional bitewings of an area I was concerned with. He was so efficient and most importantly, kind! I felt no judgement, just empathy and compassion which is what I've always hoped to find in a doctor after such bad past experiences. They also already followed up with me to ensure the area felt okay after the procedure! 10/10 would recommend :)"
"My daughter had a root canal done here. She said she didn't feel a thing and it was quick and they were friendly."

"I had a root canal today and I was really nervous. Dr Shapiro and his assistant (sorry I forgot you name!) Made me so comfortable and eased my anxiousness. Everything they did was explained and it was so quick! Thank you for making my very nerve-wracking experience great!"
"Dr. Shapiro is my dental hero ! I’m 29 and have not had a pleasant experience at the dentist, until I met Dr. Shapiro and he performed a double root canal on me. I didn’t feel nervous or pain, he informed me at every step what was happening and kept checking in to make sure I was comfortable. SUCH a nice staff !! I would recommend it to ANYONE who needs a root canal!!!"
"Dr. Shapiro was spot on with his diagnosis. A general dentist told me I needed 2 root canals done on perfectly healthy teeth. He diagnosed the problem. Got me on the right track. Thank you! You not only saved me from a wrong diagnosis but also saved me alot of expense. Thank you again."

"Had to get a root canal for the 1st time and was totally nervous! The great staff at Western Mass Endo quickly calmed my nerves with their hospitality. Monica and Dr. Shapiro were absolutely amazing! Monica made the entire experience much more pleasant by explaining everything that was being done and even though Dr. Shapiro was quick, he didnt make it feel rushed and was constantly asking if I was doing ok. I appreciated all of the check-ins and the fast service!! I will most definitely recommend this place to my friends and colleagues. Thank you!"
"Although I can think of much better ways to spend a Monday, having my root canal taken care of by Dr Shapiro and staff was a quick, easy and painless procedure. I’m somewhat of a denta-phob and they treated this with great care, patience and understanding. If I have to do this again, this is where I will return. Thanks!"
"My son had a root canal done in this office the staff were great so was the doctor i was so pleased with the visit and the results would not go anywhere else but this office"
"After my second successful root canal with Dr Shapiro, I am now convinced that he is truly the best Endodontist. Both procedures were done flawlessly and were completely pain free. You can tell that he takes pride in his work and cares about his patients by his level of professionalism and follow-up. He personally checked-in with me after the procedure to make sure I was doing well! I would suggest that anyone in need of Endo work look no further, you’ll be very pleased with the results!! I also had a great overall experience with the office staff and Milly, who assisted during the procedure. They both made getting a root canal a surprisingly pleasant experience."
"Dr. Odierna and Erin were amazing! Extremely friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and competent. The root canal was absolutely painless. Before they started, they explained thoroughly the procedure and then kept me informed all along the way. And they were extremely patient with me They also advised me exactly what to do as a follow up. I would recommend Dr. Odierna and WMA to anyone who needs an endodontic procedure. The best!"
"Very pleased with root canal felt no pain"
"Dr. Shapiro booked me as an emergency for my root canal, and he and his staff were extremely sensitive because I was in so much pain, scared because I’ve never had a root canal, and nervous. They talked me through the procedure and were extremely courteous with financing options since they don’t take my dental insurance. I would definitely recommend the West Springfield office to anyone in need of seeing an endodontist, but moreso Dr. Shapiro."
"This being my first, and hopefully only, root canal I was very nervous. Dr. Shapiro and his staff really helped put me at ease with the whole procedure. It took no time at all to complete and was nearly pain free. Having had some bad experiences in the past with not being numbed enough I was pleasantly surprised with my outcome and highly recommend Western Mass Endodontics to anyone who needs to have a root canal procedure."
