I just had a great experience at Upper East Smiles and with Dr. Kwon, their Endodontist. I broke my tooth over the weekend and they were able to schedule a same day appointment with Dr. Kwon and Dr. Chen, and Dr. Kwon did my root canal treatment on the same day without any pain! I highly recommend Dr. Kwon if you need a skilled endodontist.
