Thank you for referring me to San Antonio Endodontics. My consultation appointment was last Monday. This is the day they set aside for consultations. I researched, on-line, this doctors’ group and was pleasantly surprised – not a single bad review!
All my life, I have heard that root canals are awful; so with no choice, I made the appointment and was greeted by Jimmy and Donna, Endondontics’ front desk clerk and greeter. So far, this was going acceptably well. I was soon ushered into the examining room and attended by staff who took several x-rays. They took several because they thought my blurred root was a fault of their machinery or that I moved during the picture taking. I told them your x-rays also showed a blurred root. This satisfied them.
I was assigned to Dr. Cloutier who confirmed my need for, in my words, the dreaded root canal. His resume is to my liking and he has an outgoing, wonderful personality. All of my qualms disappeared.
Next, I met two of his account administrators. Lovely women and they clearly explained my charges and set-up my appointment for two weeks out. They asked if I would accept an earlier appointment if one presented itself. I said, “No”. However, they telephoned me the next day and had an appointment opening the following day – I took it!
Two days ago, I had my root canal and it was such a positive experience that I must write this epistle to you. Thank you for referring me to San Antonio Endodontics. (Do you know, they do nine root canals each day? Amazing.)
Because Novocaine shots are the worst part of getting a filling, I took 200 mg of Ibuprofen before heading there. They would have given me this, but I called ahead to confirm taking this approach and was told to go ahead. Probably, they would have given me a 600 mg dose, but I know my body and 200 mg is what I wanted. My root canal began at 1:45. Upon entering the exam room, Allison clearly explained the procedure. Dr. Cloutier came into the room, and administered the Novocaine. Never in 80 years have I received Novocaine so easily. I barely felt the needle~ (read this with several exclamation symbols. Wonderful experience.) Then I was left in the room for five to ten minutes while the Novocaine took effect. I looked out their large windows and enjoyed the fifth floor scenery — beautiful, moisture laden clouds and trees changing colors.
When the Novocaine became effective, Allison and Dr. Coutier entered the room. I was given very nice dark glasses. A rubber-like mask with a dime-size hole was placed over my mouth through which Dr. Cloutier performs the root canal. He adjusted his microscope – a large contraption with a lens for each of his eyes (it appeared similar to looking through field glasses). The scope has a laser beam, a high intensity light focused through the dime sized hole in the patient’s mask, and a huge apparatus to hold the equipment in place with no wiggling. He began working.
While Dr. Cloutier worked, he infrequently took his eyes from the microscope. Mostly, he remained focused on my tooth through his microscope. He frequently changed tools – Allison anticipated his every need for each tool. Their’s was a coordinated effort and very impressive. It was like Allison read his mind. He put out his hand with a tool, she rapidly and smoothly took the tool and replaced it with the next needed tool without being told which tool was needed.
A little over an hour later, they were finished. I took some iPhone photos of my x-rays and thanked them for a wonderful experience. I am SUPER IMPRESSED!
Oh, yes. I almost forgot. Dr. Cloutier has country western music playing in the room. He hummed along with the music. He was entertaining and I enjoyed his concert.
I was given a prescription for 600 mg of Ibuprofen and an antibiotic. I have not needed the Ibuprofen – not at all. And, my occlusion is perfect although I must return to my general dentist for a crown. My mouth never felt any pain or soreness. This was a wonderful experience!
Sincerely yours,
James W. Carter III
P.S. Please feel free to share my letter with anyone who has any reservations about having a root canal.

Dr. Cloutier was amazing. The procedure was quick and pretty painless. Just watching him and his assistant Allison was like watching a well oiled machine working in unison. I highly recommend Dr. Cloutier at the San Antonio Endodontics. I hope not to need anymore root canals, but so happy to know that Dr. Cloutier is there if needed once again.

I had an exceptional experience. From the initial consultation to the completion of my root canal, Dr. Coultier, his assistant Heather and their team demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a genuine concern for my comfort and well-being. Dr Coultier was singing softly to songs on the radio as he worked and he has a great voice. Very soothing and relaxing environment with my “singing dentist.” LOL. The procedure was thoroughly explained to me, and I was kept informed throughout the process. Dr. Coultier was gentle, skilled, and made sure I was comfortable during the entire procedure. He also gives pain free numbing injections, especially the one in the roof of my mouth. The office staff was friendly, efficient, and made scheduling a breeze. I was impressed by the state-of-the-art equipment and technology used in the office. I highly recommend SA Endodontists to anyone seeking endodontic care. They truly deserve 5 stars!"

Allison and Dr. Cloutier were amazing. They knew exactly what they were doing. They worked like a well oiled machine. The root canal procedure went flawless. Root canals are their bread and butter, it's what they do here. Dr. Cloutier was very calm and collected and makes you feel at ease. He has soft music playing in the background and he hums along with the songs to help him stay focused and in the zone. I also enjoyed the music as it also help me focus on something else. It was a great experience. I will def be coming back for future procedures if and when needed. I will also recommend them to my family and friends.

My first contact with San Antonio Endo was with scheduling. They were able to accommodate my request and I was scheduled two days later. All insurance was verified prior to my appointment. Very efficient. Upon arrival, I was taken in for my consultation. Dr. Bayat came in and introduced himself. He explained the process and answered all of my questions. He had incredible bedside manner and I felt at ease from the beginning. There was a point during the procedure where my claustrophobia got the best of me and he immediately stopped until I was able to resettle. Dr. Bayat’s follow-up was incredible. He was available when I had questions about pain management and never made me feel like I was an imposition. A week after the procedure he contacted me one final time to verify that I was recovering well. Dr Bayat is a unicorn in the medical field. If the need ever arises again, I will definitely return to his care.

I had developed an abscess and was in need of a root canal. My dentist referred me to Dr. Cloutier and I was so lucky he did. He is very patient and very careful when administering shots as it didn't hurt at all. During the procedure he took his time and made sure I was comfortable. He simply has magic hands! The office staff is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Cloutier.
