Five Stars - hands down - for Dr. Jean Lee! She was the Director and Orchestrator of the emergency help I needed by the time I had called her office. I knew of no dentist in the area, and so did a Google Search, and found her to be my Number One Choice, although she was a little distance from our home. Dr. Lee called me herself, for my first contact with her office, and she gave me her personal cell phone to contact her as I needed her. Her receptionist, Erica, helped me to schedule asap which was the next morning. The office was clean and prepared for Covid-19 precautions. I was asked questions and my temperature was taken. I was the only patient in the office. I wore a mask, as all the staff did, too. Dr. Jean Lee's x-ray technician (apologies - I don't know her name), was very nice to talk with as she took my x-ray. The room where Dr. Jean Lee examined my tooth and the x-ray was down the hall. The decor is exquisite. There is a beautiful painting hanging on the wall in front the patient's chair. Very nice touch! Dr. Jean Lee was a pleasure to meet. I greeted her in my broken Korean greeting, but let her know that that was, basically, all I knew to say in the Korean language except, "thank you." She graciously responded. She is a very nice person. She is very personable. She is delightful to meet! She looked at my x-ray and examined my mouth, and gave me her plan to fix my ever-increasing painful tooth/teeth/my whole mouth and head and neck. She satisfied my wonderings as I asked her questions. She also prescribed a Z-Pack - I am so glad she did! She told me that the antibiotic would help ease the pain of the infection and inflammation. She was so right. She directed me to Endodontix who would make the best call on what looked like from the x-ray that I needed a root canal or even two. She put me into the best of hands. Then Erica, her receptionist, made sure that she got me an asap appointment at the Endodontix nearest to our home. Erica set all that up for me. I just went to get that work done yesterday, Thursday, May 21, 2020. I was in and out of the office in one hour. I only needed one root canal under a cracked filling (which was the reason for the infection and need for a root canal). I took one Motrin before the anesthesia wore off, and took no more Motrin after that, and have had no pain! I was able to sleep last night - NO MORE radiating tooth pain that would continually worsen and that would be unabated until around 5:00 a.m. or so in the morning when I would finally sleep a little. Instead, I woke up this morning after my first great night of rest, and only feel an unremarkable soreness that feels like what you would expect from opening your mouth for a while for a procedure. That soreness doesn't even count for "pain," as far as I am concerned. "Mission Accomplished" by Dr. Jean Lee and staff - I am out of pain, and the source has been stopped by means of a root canal. Dr. Jean Lee is so gracious and selfless; she is so kind and gracious. She was my #1 Choice for a dentist when all I could do was Google Search a dentist in my area, and hope to find SOMEONE who could help me right away. Dr. Jean Lee was that SOMEONE. The drive across town to her place was worth it! Since that initial Google Search I have had time to confer with my sister instead of Google to get her personal recommendation to go to her dentist. My sister's dentist is even further away from where we live, and my sister's dentist has recommended a classmate of hers who practices 6.9 miles away from our home. My husband and I both need a dentist, and so I feel bad to not give Dr. Jean Lee our business, so I let her know about it. She is so very gracious, as I have said, and, basically, gave me her blessings to go where I "know" the dentist from a personal source - my sister - and where we will not have to travel a distance. If we had not found this other dentist through my sister's personal recommendation, Dr. Jean Lee would still be our 1st Choice in choosing a family dentist. We knew no dentist in the area, and were in need of emergency services asap for my teeth. We can wholeheartedly say that Foothill Dental Care has been our "go to" when we knew no one, and has met all our needs. Thank you, Dr. Jean Lee, and your x-ray technician, and your receptionist, Erica. It is the least I can do to say, "Thank you" to Dr. Jean Lee and her team at Foothill Dental Care, to write her and her staff a 5-Star review! I hope this will be a help to her business and to those who may find themselves in the same predicament as I found myself in - I needed services, and I needed services immediately, but had no personal recommendations to rely on at the time of my ever-increasing pain that couldn't be tolerated much longer. The best to you Dr. Jean Lee and your team! I praise the Lord for His mercy and grace to help me find Dr. Jean Lee. I give the Lord all the glory for having Dr. Jean Lee be located within my ability to get to. Praise the Lord! read more
