Really great experience! I had a root canal today. The doctor is patient, shows compassion, and is not rushing. As a former paramedic I have high expectations for medical care and this was was definitely the provider to get care from! read more

So glad I made my appointment. Great care and quality. Root canals can be a scary thing but they made it such a breeze.

Dr. Wang and his office staff is fantastic! They got me in same day within a few hours for a root canal. I was extremely anxious because this is my first root canal. I wanted to pull this tooth out because I was in such agony for 2 days! I forgot the dental assistant's name but she was so wonderful. Dr. Wang completely numbed me--I had no sensation at all and the procedure was quick! He was so patient and caring. I had a wonderful experience. That's a lot for me to say considering I avoided the dentist for three years due to my fear of going there. Tooth pain is the worst and I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Wang! I'm happy I went and got in so quickly! Thank you! read more

I had to get a root canal and the staff was very friendly and professional. Dr Wang explains the procedure in detail and was very gentle when giving the numbing shots and while doing the procedure. He has years of experience and would definitely recommend he and his staff for this procedure. read more

Came here for my root canal and the experience was great! The Dental assistant was very sweet and pleasant. She did such a great job calming my nerves and explaining everything.

Professional in every way.! Wonderful experience. I experienced no pain. Dr. Wang explained in detail what the procedure entailed. His assistant also explained each step and instrument being used. The staff were professional and great!! I mixed up my appointment date but they accommodated me right away. I highly recommend Bakersfield Endodontics. read more

Went to my dentist in severe pain, luckily Bakersfield Endodontics got me in that day to have my root canal done! The staff was friendly, especially the assistant. He was very knowledgeable and informative, also very calming. The dr was great, he listened to me and never once downplayed my pain. He was compassionate and understanding. He did a great job explaining what was going to happen and was really fast. The root canal didn't take long at all and I was out of there in no time. He even told me if the pain meds didn't work, to come in and he'd numb me some more during my recovery. They really take care of their patients! I would 100% recommend! read more

I don't know what the bad reviewers are talking about. I had a really pleasant experience considering I had to have an old root canal redone! Although the front desk girls were not all that friendly, Dr. Wang and his dental assistant were very nice to deal with and explained everything very well. They also gave me a bite block as the procedure took about an hour, ouch! But he got in there and got the job done and discovered an additional root that had been missed the first time. Got me all cleaned up and on my way. No more pain and no more weird pus fistule on my gum from the infection! read more

I was referred to this office from my regular dentist for a root canal... I have an absolute fear of the dentist and suffer from major anxiety and panic attacks. I asked about sedation... and was told it is not offered and not needed because Dr is very good and deals with this often, it is common. That being said, I mentioned my anxiety issues again when I made the appointment, when they confirmed the appointment, when I showed up at the office, as I walked into the room, and when the dentist walked into the room. Again, I was told "That's normal, we deal with it often." X-ray after X-ray and all was going okay. I reminded Dr Wang again when he was preparing the shot. And he just said okay. He gave me the shots and I immediately started to feel anxious... after a good 10 minutes of calming myself down, he asked if he could begin and I agreed. He was NOT gentle. He was NOT patient. He was NOT understanding. He kept yelling at me to stop fidgeting because he would have to adjust his microscope. I asked him to stop he said just wait he's almost done... I asked again... same answer. He then again yelled at me to just open my mouth and he can finish. Sorry... but I'm having a serious attack here, I can't just relax so you can finish. Finally the torture ends.... he said I'd be sore a few days but Tylenol would take care of it and he'd see me for a follow up in 2 weeks. I was in absolute horrible pain for 10 days. My gums were so swollen it was painful to brush. The pressure where he performed the root canal hurt so bad, I couldn't eat solid food for almost 2 weeks. I called the office and asked if it would be possible to get something for the pain. They said Tylenol, which did not help. I went back for my follow up, he said it was fine. I'd need to go see my regular dentist for a crown. And I had another tooth that might need work, so call him. I politely declined to come back. Fast forward a couple weeks when I went back to my regular dentist... Dr Wang wrote on the paperwork "Don't sent difficult patient back again." This is laughable... only because my concerns were being in incredible amounts of pain and having fear of the dentist. Wow! This guy has a lot of nerve... I wouldn't go back even if I had to. Save yourself the pain and agony, go somewhere else!!!! Anywhere else!!!! read more

I dread going to the dentist for any type of work.... today I had an appt with Dr Wang for a root canal, it was my 1st root canal and I was not looking forward to it at all!! I can say I highly recommend his services. I walked in super nervous, filled out a few forms on their automated system and was immediately called back.... the lady took some x-rays, the dentist came in, went over my x-rays and after I was fully informed on my procedure, I agreed to proceed with the root canal. Numbing is never fun but I felt nothing at all and he made sure I was comfortable at all times, after I was fully numb he began the procedure, still making sure I was comfortable..... after about 35 mins and some drilling noises, I was done and the dentist was giving me post root canal paperwork. I will let everyone know how awesome this place is. Thank you for taking good care of me!!! read more

The doctor himself was excellent (he was great) but the office manager Denise was extremely unhelpful, unprofessional and honestly, rude to me. Their office was supposed to send my medical records to my dentist and they sent my info to the wrong dentist. When I called to inform them of their error, Denise refused to even acknowledge that their office in fact dropped the ball. Like, no attempt was made to take responsibility. Then, she didn't even try with urgency to help me get my records over to correct place even though I had an appointment that I was trying to make and needed that info sent over asap. Then, when I called her back with the right place's email address, she says, "Who is this? I mean I have already moved on to bigger things so you need to remind me of who you are." So, clearly she recalled who I was to even say she already "moved on" and why are you treating my situation as a small and insignificant thing?. I was not rude with her at all but she was extremely immature and quite frankly, childish. She is the manager. That calls for maturity and tact. Denise, please be more professional. read more

Gooood place i loved it the Dr. Was very patient while doing my root canal since i am terrified of dentist the staff was good too

I had a root canal done by this masochist several months ago and I have been in severe pain ever since. I Had to pay to have it redone by another specialist. The entire experience with Ching wang was unprofessional, uncaring and painful. After it was redone by Dr. Malouf at Kern Endodontics only a few days ago I am pain free its amazing what a caring professional can do. Stay away from this guy. read more

I have had several root canals performed by Dr. Wang, over quite a few years. I haven't experienced any of the bad things that others have wrote - quite the opposite. Before I had my first one, I was expecting lots of pain and discomfort, a long time in the chair, and all the other things people mention about root canals. I've had other procedures with dentists that were far more uncomfortable, injections that were way more painful, and even procedures I regretted having done (but not with Dr. Wang). My latest visit was an emergency and the way Dr. Wang handled it was awesome. My long-time dentist put a crown on one of my teeth (over $1,000 from insurance), but six days later - on a FRIDAY, I awoke with an abscess - in pain and terribly swollen jaw. Went first thing to my dentist (he saw me for free but charged for that day's x-ray - never volunteered to do anything else to make it right). My dentist's office did arrange for me to see Dr. Wang later that day on an emergency basis. After he pulled off the week-old crown, he said that the tooth was cracked down the middle, and a root canal would be wasted money. He did not handle extractions, so his office staff called EVERY single oral surgeon in town, and no one could squeeze me in. He would not let me tough it out over the weekend otherwise I could have ended up in the ER! So, he was able to deal with the abscess and the nerve root enough for me to make it until the following Monday when I could get to the surgeon for the extraction. I expected a huge bill (root canals aren't cheap!) but he volunteered to adjust the fee down because it was a temporary stop-gap procedure. A very fair price and I didn't have to argue about it - he brought it up. My dentist refers patients to him without a second thought, and his work has been top-notch. Quite frankly, although I've used the same general dentist for almost 30 years, after that incident, I would trade him for Dr. Wang in a heartbeat. read more

Yesterday I was refered to Dr. Wang by my dentist Dr. Man. This was my first root canal ever, so naturally I was a bit apprehensive as to what all was going to take place. Dr. Wang and his assistant Elizabeth, were excellent at putting me at ease and explaining all that was going to take place. The complete process took 1 1/2 hrs. and the actual "operation" couldn't have been more than 20 minutes. This was a "Through the Crown" procedure, and was painless. It was very obvious to me that Dr. Wang really knew his stuff, even though he looked only 16 years old. I was so impressed with the whole experience, that IF I ever have to have this type of root canal done again, I will drive from the Central Coast to use him again. The following day, I went for my dental cleaning (by coincidence), and the hygenist was very impressed by the quality of the crown filling that was done. No need for another crown. read more

I saw Dr. Wang as an emergency patient and was very happy they got me right in. The staff was great and I had a very short wait before going back for an evaluation. In short order, he confirmed I needed a root canal and began the work. He explained what he was going to do, completed the work and showed me the finished work x-ray. I cant say it was without pain, but I am happy with the results. My tooth is now pain free!! read more

On our first visit Dr. Wang tested my daughter's tooth thoroughly and made sure the tooth was actually dead. He explained exactly what procedure he recommended (root canal) and options to hold off. We did end up having the procedure. Dr. Wang made her feel comfortable and confident in the procedure. He explained everything he was going to do and answered any questions. The procedure was quick and painless. The staff were very kind and answered all the questions she had. They were clearly most concerned with her care and comfort. They whole process was smooth and easy with an excellent result. Thanks Dr. Wang! read more

This was my second root canal by Dr. Wang. He is wonderful. He explains everything prior to the treatment and after the treatment. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. He did my first root canal right through the crown so I didn't have to get a new crown. The 2nd root canal was more extensive. He had to remove the crown, clean out some decay, do the root canal and then he built my tooth back up so I could take as long as two months before I have to get a new crown. I am very pleased with his work. I would definitely recommend Dr. Wang. read more
