Should you EVER require an endodontic procedure, ask your dentist to refer you to Endo NW.
Kristie (sp), who answered my desperate call, could hear the pain in my voice and was incredibly reassuring and kind. She found me a spot the same day, and told me that Dr. Choi would take care of me. She explained that I might need two appointments, but that he would certainly make sure I was pain-free right away.
The office is lovely and tranquil, and I was greeted immediately with kindness and courtesy. After filling out a few forms, I was taken back to the exam room by Alex. Alex is amazingly skilled and intuitive. She explained clearly and compassionately what exactly would be happening and took care of all the details of settling me in.
When Dr. Choi came in shortly after, he listened attentively to what had been going on. He gave me his idea of what he suspected had happened to create this pain in my renegade tooth, and also drew a diagram on a whiteboard to make sure I was informed of what the treatment area looked like and what the procedure entailed.
Dr. Choi was incredibly efficiently and skillful, from the moment he applied the anesthesia (which is usually the worst part for me, but it was flawless) to the cleaning out of the roots of the renegade tooth, to the completion of the healing process. Quick, painless, and even very interesting! He communicated clearly each step that was about to occur. On my other side was the incredibly competent Alex, who could not have been better at her part of the teamwork. They were like two superheroes who worked together to save me from a horrible fate (the painful tooth!).
I could not recommend this group of professionals more highly ~ Kristie, Dr. Choi, Alex, and other folks I saw busily and happily doing their jobs ~ and I encourage you to keep Endo NW in your file! Here's hoping you'll never need advanced dental procedures, but if you do, it is the place to go.
(How I am not seeing another Yelp review for this practice is surprising! Dr. Choi is one of Seattle Met's Top Dentists in 2014 and 2015. He is trained at top universities as well.) read more
