Pros: Office is swanky with what looks like state of the art equipment. Lots of natural light,…read morestaff is professional and the place looks fantastic. The endodentist I saw (Dr. Winestock, not sure which one) was efficient. Cons: No direct billing. I get it, they're specialists but it's almost 2020. Is it convenient for anyone to be out 5K and await reimbursement? Their fees are also 40% higher than what my extended health deems an appropriate fee in their guide. Again, I get it, swanky offices don't pay for themselves but I'm naught but a poor peasant. Nobody discloses this as you're paying. Finally, my personal experience sucked. After a root canal, I was not given a prescription for anti-inflammation or pain relief or antibiotics. I spent that night in tears. A prescription was hastily faxed the next morning and mistakes happen but this one cost me a day of work. Not coming back. There are other endodentists out there, thanks.

However, my treatment at Evergreen Endo went so well I have no complaints. I was referred for an infected tooth as a result of a botched root canal 10+ years ago. I saw Dr. Yael Winestock (his father Earl also works there) and it was the most painless dental experience of my life. Dr. Winestock was meticulous during the freezing process and I barely felt it. The dental assistant was professional and they both ensured I was comfortable the whole way. The office also has really state of the art equipment (they certainly don't have it at my regular dentist!) and a nice view as well. The treatment was in excess of the fee guides for my insurance, but not by too much (I had to pay about 15%). In the end I would say it was worth it for the quality treatment I received.

The staff is friendly and efficient, the office is state-of-the-art and my treatment was successful. On my first visit they needed to do a 3D image of my tooth. I asked if I could take a picture of it with me. They did much better than that: they burned a DVD with not only the 3D data but viewing software so I could manipulate the image, slice it, zoom in, etc. Very high tech and fun. If that's interesting to you, be sure to ask for it. Dr. Liang is very personable and seems to really know his stuff. He explained things well and was happy to answer all questions. He personally followed up with a phone call a couple of days after my visits to make sure everything was OK. I guess no one looks forward to a visit to the dentist exactly, but if I need more endodontic work done, this is the place I'd want to go for it.

I am torn between writing a glowing review and suing Vitacare for malpractice…read more Last December, I broke one of my molars. Stress, moving, and other factors likely contributed to the fracture, but that is a story for another time. I searched for "dentist near me" because my regular dentist, the perpetually unavailable and in-demand Dr. Gee in Yaletown, was booked solid. I found Vitacare, with 5-star reviews on Yelp and Google; what could possibly go wrong? I booked the earliest available appointment and went in. A dentist named Dr. Oh saw me. After a brief consultation and some X-rays, he recommended a root canal and crown not only for the fractured tooth, but also for the neighboring one. Both procedures are expensive--around $4,000 per tooth in 2026--and my Canada Life dental coverage caps annual benefits at $2,100. In other words, roughly $8,000 of work was unlikely to be fully covered. The whole situation reminded me of a time I took my brand-new Audi to a brake shop and was told I needed not only new pads, but also rotors--conveniently "refurbished and on discount." Unsure whether a root canal was truly necessary, I tried to book an appointment with Dr. Gee, but of course he was unavailable. After doing some research (including consulting AI), it was still unclear whether a root canal was absolutely indicated. However, the exposed nerve and persistent pain were not relenting. Canada Life approved coverage for only one root canal--about $2,000--so I decided to bite the bullet and proceed with that single root canal. Sometimes imagining the worst-case scenario makes reality feel less intimidating. As I sat in the chair while the nurse prepped for the procedure, I jokingly asked whether she and Dr. Oh had done this before. She said yes, and I thought to myself, "Good, maybe I won't die today." After hours of drilling and grinding, I was getting exhausted. The appointment was booked for two hours, but it felt much longer. Eventually, the overhead monitor that had been playing Netflix timed out, and the screensaver appeared: 3:12 p.m. The procedure had been going on for over three hours. At that point, Dr. Oh sighed and said, "I'm going to refer you to a specialist. I can't get this done. I can't reach the full depth of the tooth to remove what needs to be extracted." He then placed a temporary filling. When the nurse removed the rubber dam and other equipment, I asked how much this session would cost. Dr. Oh said around $500 and mentioned that the specialist he was referring me to was "very good, but also his rate is much higher." My immediate thought was, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" To make matters worse, the nurse added, "We're only GPs" (general practitioners). It was a lot of crucial information delivered at a very poor time. The plan was for the temporary filling to last a few weeks to a few months until I could see the specialist. I explained to Dr. Oh that Canada Life was unlikely to approve more work this year beyond the $2,100 already used, especially since this visit alone cost about $500. I asked if he could place a permanent filling instead, as I probably wouldn't be able to afford a specialist this calendar year. He replied that they did not have enough time that day. I did not argue, because I honestly felt both Dr. Oh and the nurse, Natalie, had worked extremely hard. During the procedure, Dr. Oh often hesitated over which instruments or tools to use, but he drilled tirelessly at the tooth even when the anesthetics began to wear off. His hands were very steady, and he did not seem careless or incompetent. My impression was that he might be an ultra-perfectionist who refuses to stop at 90%. Based on the post-op X-rays, I could not see any remaining decay, though I am not an expert. I reiterated to Dr. Oh that it was unlikely I would see the specialist this year due to insurance limits and asked how much a permanent filling would cost. He said $500. I decided to book another appointment to have the temporary filling drilled out and replaced with a permanent one--for now. Hindsight is 20/20. If Vitacare was not confident about performing the root canal, they should have referred me immediately to a specialist, instead of putting me through a difficult, incomplete procedure that consumed nearly half of my Canada Life annual dental maximum. Alternatively, I should not have been charged for a procedure that Vitacare "failed" to complete. Initially, I was genuinely impressed by the effort and care shown by Dr. Oh and Nurse Natalie, but this experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth. Now I have to see a specialist and possibly redo the root canal all over again.

Dr. Chau and his assistant were able to manage all of my issues by not only being thorough and professional, but by also showing consistent and genuine care for my comfort and pain level (lack of, I mean) and when I went in today to have them repair a broken tooth/cavity down to almost the root, there was no pain whatsoever and they were so good at their work that the doctor barely had to say two words to his assistant for her to hand him the correct tool, etc. throughout the process. There's more to why this was such the great happening that I would actually Yelp a dentist's office, but I'll just leave at; These people are the best at what they do and their prices are quite fair as well.
