Jeffrey L Wing,DDS

Unfortunately, I’ve had multiple root canals, but Dr. Wing is exceptional in how clear he is on the process and the steps that he is going to take with the procedure. He’s very sensitive to pain issues and patient comfort. He also is quite available whenever I’ve had a follow-​up question or needed emergency care. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs this treatment.

I love my regular dentist so much that I would invite him to my wedding. That’s how awesome I think he is … so when he saw me for an emergency appointment and then sent me to see Dr. Wing, I knew something was amiss with my tooth.
Their offices are in the heart of SF, but close to the Stockton Sutter garage (which is the one place in the city with reasonable parking rates). Within an hour of my regular dentist phoning in a referral, Dr. Wing’s offices called me up and set me up for an appointment first thing the next morning. That’ s just excellent service.
Dr. Wing himself was very patient and detailed in going over the condition of my tooth. He explained all the risks, the pros, the cons and even drew me a diagram. He was thorough and performed a number of tests on me to try to draw his conclusions (and the former scientist in me really appreciated this). He said I was a difficult case and I appreciate that he was forth coming about this … he informed me of my financial obligation and the risk associated with losing the tooth even after a root canal.
It would be a lie to say the procedure was great … root canals never are … but Dr. Wing was efficient and worked quickly. He always gave me a heads up on what he was going to do next and what I would feel. Lastly, after everything was over, he gave me *worse case scenarios* on how I would feel the next few days. He wrote out a prescription but also gave me detailed instructions on what OTC painkillers to take. Luckily, my recovery was no where near the *worse case scenario* so I’m already chomping on gummy bears and caramel. Just kidding.
