" I went to Dr. Yang for a consultation, really a second opinion, she gave me all the information I needed to make a decision, and allowed me to make the call in a low pressure situation. In the end, I needed to go to a different specialty provider, but had I decided to get the endodontics work done, I would have zero reservations with using Dr. Yang for that work. I felt like her priority was ensuring my comfort level and delivering the right service to the individual, not just making money."

"What brought me to Woodside Endodontics was a root canal. My very first one and I am 68 years old. I have to say I was very apprehensive since I hadn’t had this procedure before and didn’t know what to expect. I was greeted by the friendly and welcoming people in the front office through the exam room. Dr. An explained the whole process and put me at ease. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. An and the staff at Woodside Endodontics."

"If having a root canal can be a "good" experience, then the one I had yesterday would fit into that category. I love Dr. Yang. She is warm and gentle and always assessing for pain. I felt very comfortable in her care. She showed her competence with her use of a high power microscope and her explanation of my x-rays, afterwards. Her staff is very welcoming and kind, as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Yang to anyone!"

"My wife had a painful and pervasive infection due to a root canal gone bad and an incorrect diagnosis by another endodontist. is work and follow up was excellent, totally professional and kind. His office staff is also excellent. They are clear up front, courteous and friendly. Thank you for good treatment."

"I was very nervous about getting a root canal, but Dr. Yang was very gentle and the staff made the experience as pleasant as possible. I was seated at my appointment time and the root canal took less than a hour! I was also surprised that I had no pain during or after the procedure. Thank you to Dr. Yang and her staff! Highly recommend this office!"

"I was initially treated by Dr. An two years ago. The treatment is still holding strong. I really appreciated the candid, transparent communication with both of them. The service was efficient, quick, and well laid out. The office staff handled everything with my insurance without issue."
