Pinole Endodontics

Dr. Yeh and her staff were amazing thru my treatment. My anchor tooth to my bridge had fractured. It had a root canal by Dr. Yeh five years prior. At that time it was explained to me that future fractures could happen to root canal treated teeth. I am a very bad grinder and do not follow thru with wearing my night guard and watching what I eat. Anyway needless to say Dr, Yeh explained my treatment options in detail, I chose to go with an extraction and a sinus lift to prepare my mouth for two implants. I am a very nervous dental patient. Dr. Yeh has all the up to date technology equipment needed to do the procedures I needed done! They were amazing at making me feel comfortable thru the entire procedure and after with follow up phone calls and appointments. I would highly recommend Dr. Yeh and her staff to anyone who needs a root canal or implants. Hands down having to get this surgery done is so not pleasant but they had me feeling reassured and comfortable during and when they were done with my procedure.
Love them all!!!

Love this office! Always friendly and courteous and professional! Dr. Yeh is great and so is her staff. Have never had any problems with this office. Highly recommend.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I was recommended by my previous dentist (who I no longer go to because I found out from a friend that he still recommends his patients to this place after I told him of my horrible experience with this dentist). I went to Dr. Yeh because the person I went to before for my first root canal was out of the country on vacation and I was advised to get it done immediately. 3 days following the procedure by Dr. Yeh I was experiencing discomfort so I went back to her office to have her check on the problem. Her receptionist spoke with me and then proceeded to put me in a dental exam chair to have the dr. exam my tooth. The receptionist then returned a few minutes later and told me the dentist said what I was feeling was normal. The dentist didn’t come and speak to me or examine me. I never saw or spoke with her and I left very annoyed. Of course, I had already paid her with my credit card for the treatment when I went to the first appointment so she could care less about trying to address any problems… she already got her money for the job! I went to another endodontist and he told me the reason I was experiencing pain was because Dr. Yeh left some of the root in during the procedure and it was causing an infection. He corrected the problem for me and didn’t even charge me because he felt bad for me and he prescribed some antibiotics for me as well. This is a serious word of warning. DO NOT use this dentist. She is unethical, has a very heavy hand when doing the procedure and she does not care about customer service. The receptionist was nice but I would not let this dentist touch me! BEWARE!

Over tge years I have suffered from many toothaches. I have had a number of fillings and more recently a root canal. Dr. yeh was amazing. No pain, the crown fits nicely and I don’t think it looks fake. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was courteous. Hopefully I won’t need another but if I do… This is where I will go!

First saw Dr Yeh about 2 years ago after suffering for weeks with an aching tooth. My case was more complicated because I had dual roots on this particular tooth. My treatment went well and was pain-​free soon after. I have had zero problems with that tooth since then. I came in for a second treatment to get an implant. On both occasions, Dr Yeh’s work was impeccable and she continually made sure I was in the least amount of pain possible during the procedures. She also made multiple follow-​up appointments and was always available if I had a question.

Awful place! The woman who started my emergency exam did not read the 20 pages i had to fill out and re asked tons of stupid questions. No way does she have any credentials for working in an Endodontics office. The Doctor herself was a JOKE! Didn’t speak one word to me. When i asked a question it went like this «So you are saying i have to suffer»
Doctor-«Please advise that patient asked doctor if she has to suffer. Advise the patient, no she does not have to suffer.» Then the lady typed it and i had to read it off the screen. Her bedside manner is HORRIBLE. She speaks to people like they are 5 years old. In fact, since she went poking and prodding, she made my issue worse and offered no help!
DO NOT USE THIS PLACE! It is not only torture, but you will leave suffering worse than when you walked in!
After having a second opinion, it turns out Dr. Yeh was very very wrong and was willing to charge me for a full root canal when that isn’t even what was happening with the tooth!

I have to say Dr. Yeh is absolutely amazing & a life saver! My son is 11yrs old, never had a cavity or any dental work besides cleaning in his life. Yesterday while on vacation in Oregon he fell & broke his front tooth & had to have a root canal. He was in a lot of pain & very embarrassed because his beautiful smile was now ruined. I called in & asked for an emergency appointment because he was in pain. Dr. Yeh booked him for first thing this morning. As soon as we got there, her assistant Evelyn took him right in & then they got to work. My son says Dr. Yeh & her assistant Evelyn were very gentle & he felt nothing at all. I keep asking how he feels & he says there is no pain.
I am so very happy she did a great job. My son has a beautiful smile once again & most important he still has no pain at all. Dr. Yeh is excellent & I will refer her to everyone I know!!!
Thanks again Dr. Yeh!

See x-​ray I added to this review of teeth 14 and 15. This doctor did two root canals for me in the last three years. Neither tooth was in bad shape. They both hurt now. Professional opinions (including Dr. Yeh’s) is that I am likely to lose tooth 15, the first tooth she worked on, due to a bacterial infection coming from a supposedly cleaned and sealed area of the root. It’s costing a small fortune next week to have Dr. Yeh’s work on that tooth redone by another specialist (edit: I am now in month four of my new endodontist trying to save this tooth).
Prospects for the second tooth are not good either. Just look at the xray I posted. That tooth’s root canal is a MESS. There is an overfill blob which I can feel. The root filling is broken and jagged. There is extrusion of filling through the teeth into the gums. A remark made by another endodontist was «if my students saw this work, they would lose their minds.» See attached xray.
Tooth 14 holds on a new bridge. If I lose the tooth, I lose the bridge, and I’ll need implants, Dr. Yeh’s specialty. Probably FOUR very expensive implants, which insurance doesn’t cover. Dr. Yeh offered to re-​do her work on tooth 15 (originally done a couple years ago) but I was not sure that was a good or smart idea, as the other tooth she worked on more recently was hurting as well. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. She refuses to pay the insurance company or my new endodontist (who does NOT do implants after screwing up root canals) for the repair of her work. So now my insurance is maxed out and I can’t get the two crowns I really need until next year. AAAARRRGGGHHHH. What a racket.
Her chair-​manner is brusque and impatient. These root canals have caused nothing but trouble. The office was pretty. Staff was nice.
I recommend going to an endodontist that does NOT do implants.

I am letting everyone know that Dr. Yeh is one of the best Endodontist in the area. I saw Dr. Yeh many years ago and had absolutely NO Problems.
I had to see her recently for another root canal and the honesty and care was excellent.
As far as the response from one person back in 7/​2011, I guess that you cannot please certain individuals all the time. Take that anyway you want.

I had 2 root canals done by Dr. Yeh and have been extremely satisfied with both experiences. Dr. Yeh has a fully computerized office. She took pictures before and after the procedures and they were beautifully done. She called me at home to check in. I did not need to take pain killers after the procedure. I though Dr. Yeh very professional and care about her patients very much. The office staff were friendly and helpful.
I have no problem with my insurance at all. I knew even with the best insurance I have, Delta, I still need to pay a copayment. That happened with my kids’ braces with another dentist as well.
