Unfortunately I have to post an negative review because I genuinely believe that Dr. Bui is incompetent. I went to see him twice for re-treatment of an infected root canal. He failed to go down one of the roots after trying twice. Eventually he gave up (saying that the canal was blocked - it's not curable) and suggested that I extract the tooth and do an implant. I was shocked by his recommendation (extraction?!). And, sadly I had too much experience in root canal (7 root canals in the past 10 years - in other cities where I lived before New York), so I knew something was not right. I decided to seek a second opinion.
I went to see Dr. Lipke through referral. I don't need to say more -- he successfuly went all the way down to the infected roots and treated them.
I understand that every dentist has limits, but Dr. Bui is, I am sorry to say, good at making little chit-chats but not a skilled endodontist. His recommendation (extraction) further shows that he is reckless in serving the patient's best interest.
P.S. Dr. Bui still charged me $300 for "Incomplete Root Canal".
