The first appointment was the most terrifying of my life. With an inflamed abscess, I went to try to get the offending tooth pulled. However, the tooth wouldn’t come out, so after an hour a half of trying:
a) to pull it normally
b) to raise my gums and pull it out
c) to do minor oral surgery by cutting a bit of my jawbone to release the tooth.
…..we called it a day. The pain was so bad that I was still shaking half an hour after it ended
I wouldn’t have made it through if it wasn’t for Stephen Yu’s amazing beside manner. He was calm confident, profession and listened to me. He knew the right thing to say and how and when to say it.
I cannot rate him highly enough. He is a fantastic and skilled dentist and made otherwise nightmarish pain of my own doing bearable
He booked me for a second appointment a week later at no extra charge(!) ( after the antibiotics he prescribed did their job} and pulled the tooth in less than 20 minutes
Amazing dentist 10/10 would go back.
