DO NOT COME HERE.
I've been a patient at this dentist for awhile now since it is the only place to accept my insurance.
First off, the dentist office itself is very worn out and dirty. There were ants crawling all over the floor and over the check-in counter. She owns a dog and keeps her inside the rooms where patients are to be treated in. (She occasionally puts her dog on the floor to wander while patients are inside the same room) I actually have dog allergies and it's not something i want to worry about when i'm there for a dentist appointment.
About a year ago, I had come here to extract a tooth. She carelessly yanked on the tooth back and forth, causing bruising, and tearing my gum. That day, I had gone home to look in the mirror and saw that she hadn't even extracted all of it. A chunk of my tooth's root was still intact and easily visible. She didn't even care to double check to see if she had removed it completely. I called the front desk and they said that they were too busy to take me in and that i would have to schedule an appointment the following week.
Recently I had to come again because of a cavity and semi-annual cleaning. I never really cared to look at the tools on my previous visits but today I turned to my right only to see that the tools they were gonna use on me were rusty, worn out, cracked, and visibly dirty. It looked like it was picked up off the concrete or the sidewalk. While she was drilling and treating my cavity, she starts talking to her assistant about her family, dog, and how she hates the music playing in her office. The assistant was actually more focused than Yu Kyung Sook, the dentist herself, who was just laughing and talking nonstop. When it was time for cleaning, she just used one of her old metal picks to poke at the roots unlike other dentists that use clean, professional devices for a proper cleaning. After I had gone home and the numbing had worn off, I was drinking a glass of room-temp water, and my cavity-treated tooth started throbbing in severe pain. I had cavities treated in the past (at other dentists) and never experienced a pain like this after getting it treated. I went for a walk the following night and even the wind passing by triggered pain in my tooth. She has made my tooth so sensitive that even still, it hurts to drink water without feeling pain.
** The day i had gone to get my cavity removed, a man walked in to complain about how his cavity-treated tooth was still in pain after a MONTH of getting it done. Yu Kyung Sook, the dentist, started to raise her voice and told him that the pain will go down after time. The man continued to tell her that it's been a month and he wants to know why the pain is still ongoing. She started to raise her voice even more, yelling, and blaming him saying that it's because he has an alcohol problem. Very unprofessional. I'll be going to another dentist for any future appointments even though insurance won't cover. read more
