For Referring Dentists

Your Patients. Your reputation. In good hands.

Endospecialists has maintained referral relationships for over 50 years — over 300 practices across the East Bay. Here is what every referring dentist can expect.

The Referral Relationship

Built by word-of-mouth. Built by treatment outcomes.

When patients are referred to us, two things matter: that they receive the best possible outcome, and that the referring dentist hears from us about it. That is what this practice has been built around — not patient acquisition, not volume targets. Clinical results and straight communication.

Endospecialists has had over 50 years of professional partnerships with dentists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dr. O'Callaghan is the owner of this independent practice. She has no investors to answer to and no production targets to meet. When we recommend treatment, it is because the tooth needs it.

What We Commit To

Five things every referring practice can hold us to.

  • 01
    A practice you can stake your reputation on We have maintained referral relationships for over 50 years. The dentists who refer to us have trusted us with their patients and their reputation. We take that seriously.
  • 02
    Same-day emergency access for referred patients When your patient calls in pain, we find a way to see them that day. Oakland is open Saturdays. We monitor voicemails outside of office hours.
  • 03
    Collaborative care that supports your practice We are endodontists. We help patients understand why their tooth might hurt after a recent dental procedure. Your patient's care is always a joint decision. We'll never start a treatment you haven't discussed, and we'll reach out to you first if we suggest any updates to your plan. Your patient is always guided back to your office for continuation of care.
  • 04
    Specialist to General Dentist communication after every case You will hear from us after every patient we share. Not a form letter — a clinical update on what we found, what we did, and what you need to know for the next visit.
  • 05
    GentleWave, EdgePro Endodontic Laser, and CBCT at every location Every patient we treat is offered GentleWave or Laser as the standard of care, with CBCT on site when a case needs 3D diagnosis. GentleWave's published outcomes: 92%+ single-visit completion, 97%+ healing within 12 months. When you refer to us, this is the care you can expect your patients to receive every single time.

  • CBCT Imaging Full 3D diagnostic imaging at every location.

Independent Ownership

No production targets. No investors. Just the clinical call.

Endospecialists is independently owned. No doctor in this practice works to a production target or is urged to recommend a procedure for any reason other than clinical necessity. When we say a tooth needs treatment, it needs treatment.

For a referring dentist, that matters. Your patient trusts your recommendation. When you refer to us, you are putting your name behind our clinical judgment. We don't take that for granted.

"Endospecialists Group is an exceptional collection of professionals. I am a general dentist in the East Bay and have referred hundreds of patients to Endospecialists over many years. Recently, when I cracked my own tooth, Dr. Atsu Fujimura took excellent care of my painful tooth with the highest degree of skill & efficiency. … As far as root canals go, it was good for me to experience what my patients have been telling me for years!"
