I had never been to an endodontist before, so I don't have much to compare to, but Dr. Wing made my first root canal as painless and easy as possible. Even though I am hard to get numb, Dr. Wing managed to complete the proceedure without one moment of discomfort experienced by me. I felt nothing! He was fast, and thorough, and explained everything very clearly. He is a very serious man, so don't expect any jokes or banter--he is all business. 2 weeks after my root canal and everything is still fine--still no pain.
