I drove 30 miles to see Dr. Shih based upon the patient reviews on this site and I was rather unsatisfied with his care. Although he did do a painless procedure, his restoration of my tooth was done very poorly. After he was done with my root canal, I felt a slight, rough abrasion on the back side of my tooth. It really just felt like the filling material was not smoothed out properly. I immediately asked him about it, and he didn't bother to check it out and just said that it would eventually smooth out on its own if I continue to rub against it with my tongue.
At first it didn't sound right, especially since I didn't want to be pushing against the back of my tooth, but I figured he knew what he was talking about. Needless to say, the "rough spot" never went away and so I finally had to schedule an appt w/ my dentist six months later to have him smooth it out. It took about 10 minutes, but I couldn't understand why Dr. Shih didn't want to take the additional minutes of extra care to smooth it out.
