This was very concerning for me, as I was not expecting this outcome and did not feel I received a clear explanation of what caused the failure or whether there were alternative options to save the tooth. I also felt uncomfortable being asked to proceed quickly with additional treatment and charges without having enough time to fully understand my situation or seek a second opinion. At this point, I am in the process of consulting another provider to better understand my options. I hope the office can improve communication, transparency, and patient support in situations like this.

About the cost and the pain and implications. I was immediately reassured upon meeting Dr. Tseng. Her friendly demeanor coupled with obvious expertise put me at ease. She even sketched out the issue on paper, noting what the options would be going forward, if healing did not happen as expected. And I could take that home. How thoughtful and practical is that? It was a bit of a grind...:-). But definitely not as bad as I feared. And fortunately, the healing has been swift. And the cost was very reasonable given the high level of expertise. It's important to take care of your teeth at any age, but especially as a "senior". And I am grateful to have found Dr. Tseng.

I was referred to this…read morepractice from my dentist across the street for a root canal and so glad great referrals like him are out there. Today I had my root canal done, and I highly recommend seeing to Dr. Cho - you will not be disappointed. It's hard enough knowing you have to have a root canal so going to someone you trust is so important. Dr. Cho's bedside manners immediately put me at ease from his down-to-earth way of interacting with me while clearly being very knowledgable about the complexities of performing root canals. For me, this is the perfect balance I always hope to find in a provider - personable and professional, but sometimes easier said than done to find that perfect fit. During the root canal procedure, I was much calmer than I had expected. After ensuring I was fully anesthetized, he talked through every step of the procedure. His assistant, Cecelia, was fantastic too, and they are a great team as she is on standby for him during the entire procedure. Then tonight, he took the time to call me to check to see how I was feeling. Wow. I thought these 'after-procedure calls' typically happen after having major surgery so it just spoke to his attentiveness and care for his patients. If I ever need another root canal in the future, I will definitely go back and see Dr. Cho. And, the team working the front desk are professional, helpful and friendly!

I am updating my review based on a private follow-up email I received after sharing my original…read moreexperience. Rather than addressing the substance of my concerns -- including unexpected pain, lack of clear communication about risks, and the need to seek additional care elsewhere -- I received a lengthy, judgmental message from Mark, the office manager, not the dentist. The email criticized my decision to leave a review, questioned my character, and framed my feedback as an "attack." One part of the message stated, "I believe all people are good hearted. They deserve respect, compassion and a conversation before attacking. But that's just how I run my life." This was particularly upsetting given that I did reach out directly to the office first, asking why I was never informed of the risk of needing a root canal. My concerns were not meaningfully addressed, and I was left to seek further care elsewhere. Framing my honest review as aggression while positioning oneself as morally superior felt dismissive and unprofessional. It is concerning that a non-clinical staff member would send a private message attempting to shame a patient for leaving a review rather than professionally addressing the issues raised. This response reinforced my decision to seek care elsewhere. I am sharing this update so future patients understand not only how treatment concerns were handled, but how patient feedback is responded to afterward.

PLEASE READ PRIOR TO COMMITTING TO THIS DOCTOR. Just like the other reviews have mentioned - this…read moredoctor is a scammer, disrespectful to her patients, and extremely unprofessional. I paid $175 out of pocket for another 3D x-ray to "locate my nerves," only for her to end up extracting one wisdom tooth instead of 2. She claimed that she couldn't take out my impacted wisdom tooth that has been causing me pain and took out the tooth that wasn't causing ANY ISSUES... told me I need to pay almost $800 for this ONE extraction. I asked to be referred to another doctor to take out the bottom tooth or if she could take it out and she told me I need to go back to my dentist for this referral. She also said " You need to be nice to the doctors or they won't take out the tooth for you." She then took it even further and blamed me for not getting my wisdom teeth, extracted earlier/ in my teens - stating that my bones are too hard and it's too difficult for her to take out my impacted tooth. Anybody with common sense knows that as we age, our teeth grow and bone hardens. As a former medical sales rep, I saw right through her tactics and sending patients to get another 3-D x-ray is all a referral network for her and the x-ray business to make more $$$. PLEASE GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE for your safety and sanity! She continuously interrupts patients when they are trying to speak or ask clarifying questions, and uses a bunch of anatomical filler words to try to make herself seem smart smarter than she is.

He immediately found the problem and did a root canal. I mention this because recently I had tooth pain and my dentist insisted I go back to Dr. Moore. we really got into a disagreement because I refused to obey her. I went back to the great endodontist I had last time. And now, my dentist is very irritated with me because I refused to take her advice so I've decided to seek a new dentist.

He did a great job explaining what he needed to do to see if the tooth could be salvaged by doing a root canal or if I would need to have the back molar extracted.

Not only did I see what I could expect for my tooth, he also explained what the different steps would cost. He kept me comfortable during the procedure, explained what he was doing and when he concluded that the root canal was not viable, he was kind and compassionate about the next step. He referred me to a specialist in the same office building and I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. He was kind, professional, knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. And then, imagine my surprise when he called me three days later to see how I was doing and checking to see I had had been able to make the extraction appointment. Highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Yu proceed to clean the area paying particular attention to the unhealthy areas when all of a sudden, everything stopped suddenly. Dr. Yu grabbed a piece of gauze, pulled something out of my mouth, looked at it for 30 seconds and said a tooth fragment left from my wisdom tooth extraction was irritating my gums and causing them to be unhealthy. For context, the wisdom teeth came out 15-20 years ago and numerous dentists over the years were not able to figure this out. I've even been told that I may just have bad gums and tooth loss in the future are possibilities.

During each of my visits Dr. Yu and his staff would push for an X-ray. I have disclosed that I am physician myself and I do not like to take or have taken X-rays without clinical indication. On my last visit (03/2024) Dr. Yu and his team tried again to force me to agree to an X-ray. I was told if I don't have an X-ray taken I cannot come to this dentist office again. He will basically kick me out. I repeated that I am physician and have zero indication for an X-ray. To prove his point, he took what felt like the metal handle of one of the instruments and hammered on each and every tooth of mine. This was very uncomfortable, but zero pain. He was firm that he won't accept me as patient if I don't have an X-ray taken. I have attached a summary of the guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) and the guidelines are very clear: 1) there is no fixed recommended frequency 2) as low as reasonably achievable 3) based on findings from patient history and clinical examination So, NO! based on ADA guidelines I do not need an X-ray. Instead of following ADA guidelines, Dr. Yu follows his financial guidelines and wants me exposed to unnecessary X-rays just to cash in. I can't recommend this dentist at all!
