I had an excellent overall experience with this provider. I was impressed with Dr. Wan and his whole staff. I was seen quickly, my issue was resolved painlessly, beyond my expectations, and with exceptional care. My dentist had braced me for the fact that I might have to lose a tooth, but Dr. Wan was confident that he could save it, and did. Little touches such as allowing me to choose the music that played during the procedure, and providing a care bag with bottled water and other helpful items for after the procedure really elevated my positive impression. The staff was happy and the environment was very pleasant. I would absolutely recommend this practice. read more

The practice is just a scam. I went here and for an evaluation for an extraction. The office told me that they would need a 3D scan to determine the state of the tooth. After the scan I was told that they could redo the RCT as they don't really do extractions. My dentist had specifically said that they could not put the cap on so the evaluation was specifically for extraction. I ended up paying over $200 for a scan that was useless. read more

I was scared to death when I knew that I had to go through a root canal surgery, but I was so glad that I chose Washington Endodontics. The experience was above and beyond. Before surgery, Dr. Wan patiently explained the procedure he was going to do, answered all my questions, and, to my surprise, when the surgery was to begin, I could choose the playlist to listen to! I felt at home during the whole surgery. Dr. Wan's numbing technique was impressive and superb. I didn't feel any pain at all. He and Rachel and Chloe constantly checked in and assured me. After the surgery, I got a post-surgery instruction and a small bag containing a medication pack and a bottle of water. It was brilliant and thoughtful. I felt very touched. I highly recommend anyone who needs endodontics treatments come to Dr. Wan and his staff. read more

Everyone hates having a root canal, but Dr. Wan and his team are AMAZING. They are very accommodating and treat you with respect. They are very efficient and it really shows that they know what they are doing. I mentioned to Dr. Wan that I would hate to hang out in peoples mouth all day for work and he said that he really enjoys doing it. He said it is like solving a puzzle and he likes that he gets to help people relieve their tooth pain. When I had some trouble with my insurance, they were able to work out a solution that worked with my budget. He was a genuinely nice guy who really knows what he is doing and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who has to get a root canal. I never thought having a root canal could be such a surprisingly wonderful experience. read more

Dr Wan is very friendly and talented. I called multiple dentist to get the most affordable price because I am only a grad student. Spending over a 1000 dollars for a retreatment of a root canal seems like an investment on my end. After meeting a great doctor at Newport Dental, Dr. Han he kindly referred me to a specialist, Dr. Wan because my root canal had an infection. Calling in to schedule an appointment was nerve wrecking because of my shame and embarrassment of taking so long to get in to get treated and thinking about my budget... I chose this place because Rachel's top-notch customer service. Some of the dentist I called, the front staff was reluctant to give me prices up front and only wanted to schedule me before they gave me the pricing, did not provide any help or was plain rude. Rachel helped with my nerves because she understood my current situation of being a student and knowing how stressful it is to have a tooth problem. She was easy to work with and gave me a great discounted rate and sent me the treatment plan by email as requested. Just being honest, I was hesitant to come to Dr. Wan because he had a four star rating but you honestly can't trust yelp, it truly depends on personal experience and personal perspectives.... and I don't know why he doesn't have a five star review (I didn't read the previous reviews--just noticed the four stars lol) I recommend people coming in to check this place out if you need to see a specialist for any teeth work and also meet the great staff Dr. Wan has for yourself. He took his time to address what kind of treatment I needed and went out of his way to contact Dr. Han to ensure I get the right care after his work was done. Tanner, Dr. Wan's assistant will be a great dentist as he continues to assist Dr. Wan and I trusted him with my tooth... because it seems like he knew what he was doing. Dr. Wan calmed my nerves by making me laugh by his odd sense of humor! Haha You can tell when an office works as a team when they are all laughing and having a great time, because no one like to work honestly speaking... and I can tell they enjoyed working together. Wish you only the best, thank you all once again. Hope I don't need to be back anytime soon! read more

I first saw Dr. Wan in September for my first root canal, I was amazed at how skilled he was while working through a tiny hole drilled in a crown while looking through microscope-goggles. It was the second root canal on that tooth and he was able to work on a hard-to-reach canal causing problems. Unfortunately I required 2 more root canals recently and went back to Dr. Wan. Once again he did a wonderful job and the staff in the office were terrific. I would completely recommend Dr Wan as a highly skilled and knowledgeable endodontist. read more

I came to Washington endodontics for an emergency root canal. The office is small but very welcoming. The staff is very friendly and work very well together. Dr. Barrineau did my procedure and she is amazing. She walked me through the whole process and made sure I was comfortable. I can't praise Dr Barrineau and her assistant enough. read more

No one likes a root canal but when you have to have one, getting rid of that pain is the number one thing in your life. My tooth became too unbearable overnight and Dr. Wan was able to get me in for the root canal in about 3 hours notice. Not having more pain during the procedure is also very important and I had no pain, I didn't even feel the anesthesia shot! The whole procedure took about 30 minutes. The office is impeccably clean, and the equipment is high-tech and well maintained. All that means nothing if the person using the equipment doesn't know what he is doing, and Dr Wan does. This is the 3rd root canal Dr. Wan has done for me, and has done 2 for my wife, and we won't go anywhere else. (On one of my previous root canals, I actually fell asleep during the procedure, that is how gentle and pain free it was). read more

My wife and I have both been in to see Dr. Wan for root canals. His work is exceptional. His chairside manner is extremely pleasant and comforting. My wife hates dentists, but has said twice now that this was the most "enjoyable" experience she's ever had in a dental office. Watch out for this, though... if he asks you what kind of music you'd like to hear, if you ask for classic rock expect to hear a Name That Tune banter between him and his assistant!! But you'll probably learn a lot! :-) read more

Unfortunately I had to a root canal for my inside upper tooth and my dentist referred me to Dr. Wan's office. From making an appointment to finish my root canal, it was so easy and there was always a reminder from the office before the appointment. Most amazing thing to me is that 2 days after the root canal, I don't have any and I mean any pain in my tooth. Not even a pinch or uncomfortableness. I had some root canals before but this is the best experience I had. Dr. Wan is very knowledgeable and gentle and also all the staff members too. I highly recommend Dr. Wan and I will go back to him If I have another - hope it doesn't - with no hesitation. read more

Wow, wow, wow! EVERYTHING about our experience with Washington Endodontics was amazing. A little background, our 12 year old daughter was referred by our general dentist to a pediatric endodontist who was too scared/lacked enough skill to handle our daughter's issue on her tooth and referred us back to our general dentist. Our dentist then referred us to Washington Endodontics because our daughter's issue was beyond general dentistry. From the minute we arrived, the lady at the front desk of Washington Endodontics made us feel welcome and our daughter (scared to death of possible root canal) at ease. Shortly after our arrival Dr. Wan came out to greet us and immediately put our daughter at ease. I had many questions and concerns about a treatment plan because the one specialized pediatric endodontist already punted on treating our daughter. Between the front desk staff and Dr. Wan, all my questions were THOROUGHLY answered! My daughter loved how Dr. Wan let her choose what music to listen to, genuinely asked great questions about her time in Japan and then even spoke some Japanese with her! My daughter (and me too) were SUPER impressed that the numbing solution did not hurt, even the first shot of it. The topical pre-numb worked perfectly! My daughter was truly amazed at this visit. And all this cost us $90 out of pocket......until a two weeks later we received a check from Washington Endodontics for $30 bucks since insurance paid more than expected. So in the end.....$60 total out of pocket. When was the last time your dentist sent you a refund instead of a bill?!!! I truly can not say enough about this place! read more

Wow, Dr Youm is a great endodontist. I wish she could do all my dental work. But when it comes to complicated root canals- as she did for me- i highly recommend her. My dentist suggested Dr Youm based on the treatment needed and my dental anxiety. Her staff are kind and professional. Dr Youm made sure I was prepared in all ways possible so she could get the work done. It took two appointments and I was fine coming back for round 2 without any fear. read more

Dr Bing told me after my root canal he made gaps, but it was as he said "good enough." Well it wasn't. Went to another specialist who redid it completely the same day I called them read more

I had a consult done here and did not get the procedure done. The doctor was all over the place and I did not feel confident he knows what he is doing. read more

I had to find my own Endodontics facility as the referral office did not take my Dental Insurance. With great skills in tracking a local Endodontics office, I found Washington Endodontics in Bellevue, with outstanding free parking, across from Overlake Hospital. Staff was outstanding prior to getting my root canal. The music and Dr. Bing did a wonderful job and in addition, found music to play that I enjoyed while the two hour procedure moved on. X-Rays were crystal clear and showed perfect work. Yes, Dr. Wan and staff are the very best. read more

Dr. Helen Youm is a REALLY GOOD endodontist. I needed my third root canal. Frankly, I only picked her because she seemed super highly credentialed and she was on my insurance plan. And, i got an appointment right away. I have no anxiety about my dentist visits despite highly complicated root canals in the past. However, I knew that I needed someone good because I did not want to spend 7 hours in a dentist chair again. Dr. Youm knows how to give anesthesia. She gives you enough without making you feel like your face has stroked out. Also, she is gentle. I know this because it is 7 hours after I have left her office and though she warned me my mouth would be sore, I don't feel ike someone punched me in the face, which is how it felt after each of my past 2 root canals. She really understands teeth. I kind of don't want to share her with other people. But, I know that there are people out there who are in dire need of a good root canal surgeon. She is smart. She is professional and thorough. Her office is tiny, but very up to date, neat and meticulously laid out. I highly recommend this office for anyone in need of a root canal. Good luck! read more

My experience with Dr. Youm was an incredible one!! I have never been to a dentist that felt more relaxed and comfortable in, in my entire life! I was referred to her from my dentist and I'm so grateful that I was. I have had to have two very difficult root canals done (through a bridge no less) and I was so anxious, both times! Just the presence of the staff and the warmth of Dr. Youm put me at ease. Regarding the procedures (on seperate occassions) I nearly fell asleep both times, I did not feel a thing either time and was handled with care and precision. I've never written a review on Yelp but felt so compelled to do so because of the way I was treated, which was like a VIP and the work is equally impressive. I was referred because she is the best around, as I was told and I believe it. I just think if any business knocks it out of the park, like this practice did with me, then you should shout it from the rooftops. Wonderful experience!!! (And who says that about major dental work?) read more

Dr. Bing Wan is fabulous! After having a failed root canal w/another endodontic doc, he was able to perform the root canal after getting me numbed. I have very sensitive teeth and nerves and am very difficult to get numbed up but he was able to get me there on the first try. Not only did he listen to my issues, but formulated a Plan A, B and C for moving forward. Dr. Wan and his staff are my go to endodontics team! read more

Dr. Youm is a great endodontist! I enjoyed her service a lot. Absolutely no pressure in decisions on a customer. She prefers conservative style of treatment. Two appointments went super fast. No pain at all. Happy with the result (so far). Staff is friendly ! read more

Great experience with Dr. Wan and his staff for a root canal therapy! Dr. Wan did a wonderful job. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was also very friendly and caring, which put me at east the whole time! read more

I had multiple endodontists to choose, and I am so glad I went here. Dr Wan was very knowledgeable in what he does, explained everything, professional, and most importantly...no pain! I was able to go right back to work. If I need anymore root canal....let's hope not, I'll be back! Thankful that he is gentle. read more

I first met Dr. Helen Youm DMD MMSc at my dentist office, I needed a root canal and they had her come to thier office to perform the work for them. I was hesitant because I have not always had the best of luck with dentists and I don't trust very many of them. However she was very thourough, detailed, quick and clean about the entire proceedure. It was the BEST root canal I've ever had....(can I say that?) Weird, I do not typically refer to a root canal as a great experience if that says anything. She even uses a microscope during the procedure to be as detailed about it as possible. She called to follow up on it, and have me come back in 6 months to watch the tooth and ensure the bacteria was fully gone and had not come back. Before the 6 months came around i had an emergency appointment with my dentist due to an infection that popped it's head up, and I needed another root canal, I had my dentist refer me back to her. This time I saw her in her office in Bellevue, where I met her staff. She eveluated my tooth and suggested a root canal as well. Once the root canal was started my tooth had complications, she stopped took x rays and found out that the previous root canal performed 11years prior had actually perferated my tooth causing a HUGE infection that punctured through my sinus cavity. She told me my options and took the time to explain all of this to me. She suggested the conservative way of doing more work but saving the tooth, because the chances of implants were not the BEST solution. I decided to go conservative, and SHE SAVED the tooth, I'm all healed up now and the sinus is fully healed over.It was a pricy surgury, but worth every penny. I trust her judgement and work. We followed up 3 months later and I'm doing great no signs of infection trying to come back. :) I am very happy with her work. Not to mention she is very personable, and has called me after the proceedures along the way to make sure i was doing well. Call her, you wont be disappointed! Thank you DR Youm. read more

I went to see Dr. Helen Chiao (she was Dr. Helen Youm at the time) at Washington Endodontics for a root canal last year on emergency basis after a deep filling at my dentist's office that morning. My dentist warned me that because it was such a deep filling it might have gone into the nerve and would need a root canal but it might take a little time to tell. Well, not even an hour later I knew I would need one! The anesthetic from the filling wore off and I had this incredible shooting pain all along my jaw. Dr. Chiao agreed to see me right away, even though it would most likely cut into her lunch hour, because I was in so much pain. I have never looked forward to a dental appointment more! After she gave me the anesthesia, I felt this huge sense of relief. I was able to relax for the first time in hours, as she and her assistant went to work. I put in my headphones and zoned out for most of the time, only being interrupted once when they needed to take an x-ray. Towards the end, I even started to doze off! I never thought I would be saying that about having a root canal. The whole experience was great, I was even able to go right back to work after the procedure despite having been in so much pain just a few hours before. It was mildly sore for a few days, which she had warned me about and said was completely normal for my situation, but after that I have had no problem whatsoever. I recently had my complimentary one-year follow up with Dr. Chiao and she informed me that everything had healed properly. I really appreciate her thoroughness in explaining the procedure and what to expect, as well as the follow-up to make sure everything is as it should be. read more

I came here to have a root canal done because my previous dentist did a horrible job at placing an onlay for me. Given my previous experience, I have to say I'm not someone who is fond of going to the dentist, however, the staff here made me feel welcomed and I left feeling satisfied for the first time in a long time. Before the root canal, I was unable to eat on the left side of my mouth for about a year. The previous dentist did a horrible job and I had extreme sensitivity on the left side of my mouth. I felt for the longest time that the pain would never go away given I had gone to another dentist to fix what the first one did, but still experienced some sensitivity. After coming here, I was able to chew and have ice water for the first time in a year! This place made all the sensitivity go away and I'm so thankful for that. Plus I was able to pick my own music station to listen to while the procedure was being done, which helped me so much! Definitely love this place. read more

I had to get two root canals done at once and I expected the experience to be painful. But to my surprise, procedure was done in a painless way and quality of work is excellent. Doctor Wan is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate! Despite the fact that my case was complex, he did a great job on both root canals. During the entire procedure he was checking on me and followed up after procedure to make sure I was doing ok. I have never encountered a more careful and caring doctor before. His staff is professional and friendly. They quickly scheduled appointments on a short notice to accommodate my work schedule. I am grateful I was able to get my situation taken care of here. Would highly recommend this place if you're in need! read more

Dr. Helen Youm is wonderful. She is extremely thorough yet gentle. I have gone to see her a couple times for root canals, and both have been nothing less than exceptional. Dr. Youm and her staff are courteous and caring--she always calls afterwards to check up on you, and also provides her personal number in case of any emergencies. I wish all my doctors were as knowledgeable, caring, and kind as Dr. Youm. She is prompt with aftercare including contacting your dentist, and sending you a letter (documenting the procedure(s) performed along with xrays of your teeth). read more
