This was a terrible experience. I was told that Dr. Shin was especially set-up to treat children . Dr. Shin gave my six year old son 2 "critically needed" pulpotomies (root canal for baby teeth). Shortly thereafter, the teeth he worked on began to cause pain. I thought , however, that the pain must be due to cutting a molar nearby. The pain increased and overnite my childs' face became swollen. I called my dentist , (who is not set up to treat small children), who was out of town and he came back into town to assist my son. What we found was that the "pulpotomies" were not done, or done so poorly that my son had acquired an infection in the treated tooth and his jaw was, within two days, completely swollen from the infection.. He was put on antibiotics, first, and then my dentist was able to clean out the infection and rectify the poor dentistry in both of the teeth that Dr. Shin had introduced infection into. I could get no subsequent help from Dr. Shins' office.

I know this doctor: treated my son 8 years ago
