Dr. Jong is great! I arrived at his office in a great deal of pain, in need of a root canal, and, basically, skipped out! In addition to being an excellent endodontist, he is patient, gentle, and provides thorough explanations as to what he is doing and what to expect. His staff is extremely friendly and professional and the office is bright, spacious, and welcoming. I know that root canals have a bad reputation. However, do not fear having this procedure done by Dr. Jong. You will be in good hands with Him. Don't even consider going to anyone else! Marty L read more

Awful experience, unprofessional office staff, felt harassed when they said they would submit to insurance and did not. Could not find the issue, when asked to consult with my dentist never heard from him. read more

A painless root canal! I've had several root canals and this was by far the best experience. No pain, Dr. Jong's touch was sooo gentle, the office staff is great. They deserve 5 stars and more. Thank you Dr. Jong! read more

Dr. Jong performed one root canal in Feb and a second root canal in March. Excellent experience. Dr. Jong started on time and finished when he estimated each procedure would finish. Office was calm and quiet. Dr. Jong explained the procedure(s) to the degree of information I wanted ( a lot) and was very friendly. He prescribed, at my request, an anxiolytic drug for me to take before the procedure(s). Office staff was pleasant and efficient. They provided written treatment plans with prices and filed insurance. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Jong! He is hands down the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Dr Jong has performed a few unpleasant procedures on me and each time has made me feel extremely comfortable and assured I was in good hands. He and his staff are extremely patient and professional and are always happy to answer all my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Dr Jong and his team. read more

I'm not sure when endodontists became wizards, or even if the changes in their training have ever been documented as such, bet let me assure you: Dr. Jong is a wizard. I've never actually seen him cast a spell, but that doesn't mean he can't. He's performed at least two miracles in the last week on me alone. Who else has he captivated? Who else has he touched? Surely more than just me. Dr. Jong fit me in at the last minute when all other endodontists within my network refused to do so. They were busy repairing politicians and their sycophants, lobbyists and crooks. But Dr. Jong isn't merely an endodontist, he's a wizard as noted above. He knows things that nobody knows, arcane secrets lost among extinct civilizations and tricks taught by a more sophisticated species. He told me where Jimmy Hoffa was buried, taught me the intricacies behind the JFK assassination, and explained to me what happens to us when we die. According to Dr. Jong, we never die, we just come wait in his office for root canals. It's heaven here. There is no pain, there are few fees. When the procedure was complete, I looked at the bill and thought I might owe him something else, something special. The bill simply wasn't high enough. I started to take off my clothes and thought I'd repay him in ways I've only seen on shows like Taxicab Confessions and Desperate Housewives. But Dr. Jong assured me, no need for that kind of payment here. No need to cheapen myself. Wizards don't accept payments like that, they hardly accept payment at all. Wizards do good for the sake of doing good. There is a code among wizards. I begged for another root canal, I begged for more treatment. Dr. Jong said no, said nothing else was necessary. I was good to go, I just had to get up and leave, walk out that door. I didn't want to, though, I wanted to stay forever . The worst part about receiving treatment from Dr. Jong is that you have to leave Dr. Jong...eventually at least...until then I am always with him, whether he knows this or not. read more

Yes, a 5 star review for a root canal. What else is there to do in Maryland on a nice summer day? :-) I was told I might need a root canal months ago - but I definitely didn't want to rush in unnecessarily if it wasn't absolutely needed - and luckily I didn't have the pain that causes most others to need to find someone immediately. I went to 4 other places prior to meeting Dr. Jong and as soon as I met him I felt at ease and knew I was in the right place. He spent a lot of time with me listening to my history, performed tests and did an x-ray and determined that it definitely had been 'curtains' for my problem tooth with the abscess above it. When the icy swab placed on surrounding teeth caused immediate sensitivity but that one was basking happily in the cold it couldn't feel, along with the review of the x-ray and my other symptoms - we decided together it was time to schedule the root canal. Dr. Jong explained all aspects of the upcoming procedure and spent the time to answer any questions I had, putting me completely at ease. It ended up taking 2 appointments due to my hidden 4th canal, which they discovered at the first appointment using their amazing cone-beam CT to confirm its existence - but both appointments were pain and problem free. Dr. Jong was with me every step of the way, explaining things and making sure I was comfortable. I was very glad the office has the latest technology and even above that - for all of their endodontic procedures, and I truly appreciated how thorough and detailed Dr. Jong was, as I wanted the highest chance possible to not need any sort of revision. Dr. Jong accepts a lot of different insurance plans as well - including some of the ones from dental plans dot com - so the lower cost to me was an added bonus. I can't say I hope I have a need for additional root canals - but if I do, I will definitely return to see Dr. Jong. I wish they offered other dental services in their office because it was a nice soothing environment and I would go there for every dental need, but it is solely endodontics. It is their specialty...and it shows. read more

George Jong, DDS - Dr. George Jong, DDS - Endodontists Near Me - Chevy Chase, Maryland

See all

It was great experience. He is very confident and knowledgable. I didn't have any discomfort during and after my treatment. It was 2-3 years ago. Fast forward to now. My dentist's office took an X -ray last week. I didn't get comment because I didn't see my dentist. But I saw my X-ray of my root canel. It was just the same as if it was just done. Nothing weird showing at all. Hope you will have the same perfect experience with him as I had if you need a root canel. read more

Dr. Jong, dentist/ endodontist, is simply amazing. My wife had 3 root canals done over two visits. My wife never complained of pain and she is extremely happy with the results. Dr. Jong conferred with her primary dentist throughout the process and conferred with me as well. i sat in the waiting area while these procedures were done. The waiting room was spacious and comfortable and although I did not use the computer or internet, it was available. I watched the desk staff multi task. The desk staff was awesome.. very customer service friendly. If I could give this endodontist more than 5 stars, i would. By the way, I found him through research using YELP and other resources.. We looked for the best and we believe that we found him. Therefore, even though we live in Upper Marlboro Maryland, we were willing to travel to Chevy Chase for a great endodontist and a great result. We are so happy that we did. Dr. Jong is outstanding. read more

I managed to crack my tooth while enjoying a particularly hard bagel and ignored it. Which ended up with me having to get a root canal on my #15 and my favorite dentist in the whole wide world (Dr. Bonnie Lin) had recommended Dr. Jong. They both were in the same building so why not? I wouldn't need to drive out at all. Dr. Jong is extremely amicable and great to get along with. He fully explained what needed to be done and prescribed antibiotics to quell my infection that had began to start. The procedure itself was relatively pain free and they have films (Planet Earth, it's eight hours long ;)))) ) you can watch whilst getting the root canal. I have terrible gag reflex from both anxiety and things touching the back of my throat. However with a film to watch and a rubber mat thing placed in the mouth to prevent things touching the throat, it helped reduce it significantly. His dental assistant was also super nice and I liked her a lot! The cost was also average for the area and makes sense for the quality of care I have received. Overall if I somehow messed up again, I would most certainly come back o Dr. Jong for another root canal. read more

Dr. Jong is hands down the best that I have ever come across. When I first went to see Dr. Jong it was because I was in need of 3 root canals on the same side of my mouth. I had just left my previous dentist and was in search of someone that would make me feel comfortable. Dr. Jong listened to all of my concerns and was extremely patient and attentive. I ended up doing all of my root canals with him and I did not feel any pain at all during any of the procedures. He takes his time and is very thorough. He will continue to review and correct his work until he is completely satisfied so you can be sure that you have received the best treatment. The office is extremely clean and very organized. He followed up with me after all of my procedures which made me feel like he really cares. If you are in the DMV area I would highly recommend going to him. I am 100% confident in his abilities. read more

Best root canal ever. And I should know, as this was my third. (Sigh. Why is my mouth a war zone?) First one: not too bad, done by a small Persian man who kept saying, "The root is dead!", but probably worse because I didn't know what was coming. Second one: hell on earth, worst two hours of my life, done by an endodontist who clearly did not understand the first thing about his job and/or how to interact nicely with humans. Third one: was it even a root canal? Or was it a tiny pinch of Novocaine and then an astonishing wait for pain that never actually appeared? (And I'm not just talking about physical pain -- how is it even possible that my bill was so low?) Dr. Jong, I know you admonished me for not flossing enough. But, honestly, I'm almost tempted to ignore you just so I can come back. Almost. read more

It felt like the DR. George Jong was recommending procedures that were not required to increase the bill. He seemed nice but as mentioned in the end it felt like he was disingenuous. Just make sure you are on your guard when it comes to recommendations that you think are unnecessary. I even found out that the consultation costing 185 was not covered by my insuarance and he was a doctor that was supposed to be in-network. In the end, the check up costed me OVER 500 dollars after insurance and all he did was check my teeth and told me they were fine for now. Just do your homework before stepping in his office. read more

An Exceptional & Professional Experience Please read this in its entirety and hopefully it will save you some time researching Dr. Jong and Bethesda-Chevy Chase Root Canal Specialists. You won't go wrong choosing this endodontist. I was on out of town business travel this week in DC when an excruciating toothache flared up in a tooth I had been previously advised might need a root canal. Being out of town, my primary dentist was unable to refer me to anyone in the area. I was extremely concerned about choosing the "wrong" endodontist. I was desperate, and in my extreme discomfort I researched scores of local endodontist practices, and decided on Dr. George Jong of Bethesda-Chevy Chase Root Canal Specialists. It was a chance but one I had to take. After two days & nights of suffering, I called first thing in the morning and explained my circumstances. They rearranged scheduling to accommodate me with an appointment within several hours. As soon as I walked in, I was relieved to see a first rate, spotlessly clean, professional office and was greeted by especially helpful staff. I was shown to the exam area which had all state of the art equipment, including video TV on the ceiling for the enjoyment of patients. I was introduced to Dr. Jong who I cannot say enough about. He is one genuinely caring professional with a most calming demeanor who patiently explained everything to me before taking X-rays which were immediately shown to me on a big color screen. We went forward with the root canal procedure and although I had only had one performed prior to this, it was as pleasant and painless as I could imagine it could be. Dr. Jong kept updating me throughout the process as he knew I wanted to be. I have to say the video on the ceiling was especially helpful in helping the time pass for me. Upon completion, Dr. Jong again explained everything to me. In addition to his high level of professionalism, he is an exceptionally nice person. When I left, he provided me with his cell phone # and asked that I please call if I experienced any complications. (I haven't met another doctor who did that). That evening, thankful for the relief he had provided, I was out to dinner when I received the following text message: "Hi Shane, Dr. Jong here. Just checking to make sure you are doing ok." That was the icing on the cake for me. I highly recommend Dr. Jong and his staff if you need professional, caring and pleasant orthodontic care. He takes great pride in his work and it shows. I guess the only down side for me is that I will likely never see him again. Thank you again Dr. Jong and staff. Shane B. From Boston PS: When I returned to the Boston area and had the permanent crown completed by my (very particular) primary dentist, he made it a point to comment on what an exceptional done had been done on the root canal. read more

I am an RN and I have a mouth full of root canals by various endodontists over the course of my 50 years. Most recently I had a horrible experience somewhere else. Enter Dr. Jong. He is a thoughtful, clinically outstanding endodontist who is patient-centered. He involved me in decision-making regarding the retreatment of my tooth. Once we decided the best course together, he treated me right there and then - painlessly! My tooth feels so much better, and I am grateful for his skill and compassion. I recommend him without reservation. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about the thorough, competent and considerate treatment provided by Dr. Jong! He kept me fully informed before and during my root canal and also checking on a different tooth I mentioned having some issues with after a root canal that was done by another endodontist. He went beyond expectations and reassured me that the tooth was fine. I had absolute confidence during my treatment and I highly recommend Dr. Jong for anyone who is looking for an endodontist! read more
