Dr. Yim and his staff are very professional. I've had 2 root canals, crown and special cleaning sessions done. I've had a pleasurable time and is treated with utmost care and they are sensitive to my needs. The procedure was explained in detail and much planning was done. The result is excellent! Dr. Yim has gentle hands and I didn't feel any pain. I've recommended then to families and friends who had given good feedbacks and are very thankful in return. Commendable and recommendable!

I had the most painful root canal imaginable at Dr. Yim's. I should have been sent home with a week of antibiotics to clear up the infection rather than having a root canal done on a tooth where the root area was already inflamed. The novocain does not work if the area is infected - therefore I should have been given antibiotics for a week previous. This was absolutely the most painful procedure I've ever had and I would never go back to this dentist. The pain was so bad I had to yell out. This dentist has tattoos - I guess he is into pain. What is amazing to me is that a dentist can be so greedy that he is going to do the procedure because it has been scheduled rather than send the patient home with antibiotics, and reschedule. I've had two other root canals, but they were painless compared to this one. The practice looks like what I might have seen on the mainland 50 years ago...overall, doesn't appear very modern.
