ROUTINE PROCEDURE NOT HANDLED WITH CARE, EXPERIENCE OR DILIGENCE.
AVOID IF POSSIBLE.
This practice should be avoided if possible, Dr. Shim is pushy and inexperienced. When discussing options for a root canal V.S. an extraction she used analogies like "We should just pull all of your teeth if you are worried they might have problems in the future." and "By your logic, you should not shower in the morning because you are just going to get dirty again.' Her analogies were grossly exaggerated and seemed canned and contrived.
Extracting a tooth took 1.5 hours, not including the time it took to convince Dr. Shim to actually agree to pull my tooth. There was a lot of drilling, cutting and my mouth bled for the rest of the day.
Five days later and I am still in pain and now also experiencing stomach pains from taking too many ibuprofen pills to try and make it through the work day. According to Dr. Shim, this is to be expected. She suggested I go to an emergency room.
