Do not go to this periodontist. He uses aggressive, not conservative approaches to surgery or gum health. It is uncomfortable. When asked for alternate options, he is black and white. Either you get the most extreme procedure or nothing. He will automatically resort to surgery instead of treatment plans or making you comfortable with another approach. It may be an insurance scheme. Be wary.
And yes, the office and office staff are great. It’s just this periodontist.

Dr. Yoo has magical hands! I lost my teeth in
the back of my mouth needing implants and sinus lift and Dr. Yoo did all these in less than an hour and his team and professionalism was impressive. I would highly recommend Dr. Yoo if you need similar procedures!

I highly recommend Dr. Yoo if you need a dental implant. My root canal treated molar got reinfected and had to replace with a dental implant and Dr. Yoo was able to do this for me. It was very very quick (took less than 30minutes to do this!) and minimal pain afterwards. Front desk and the assistants all were very helpful at Upper East Smiles and I am excited to get a new tooth very soon!

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Yoo and receive treatment from such a skilled and compassionate doctor.
Hopefully, I won't need another implant, but if I do, I'll definitely look for him again.

I was highly anticipating great pain but it did not happen. From anesthetic injections to implant surgery took about 40 minutes. It was painless and quick! I don't know why I was so nervous. I highly recommend Dr. Yoo and Upper East Smiles who needs dental implants!

Dr. Yoo was very kind and honest. I had two implants done. Now I can chew better. The whole process was smooth and I didn't have any problems. Dr. Yoo to put some bone before implants. It was painless. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Yoo is very professional, explains treatment in words & manner which is easy to understand. I was anticipating pain but was pleasantly surprised to have none after my tooth got pulled & implant placed, team at Upper East Smiles is the best, you really feel that they take best care of you, not just your teeth.
