Ask Dr. Lee

What is your main focus when working with new patients?

“My goal as an endodontist has always been to create a great experience for my patients by performing the procedure as efficiently and as predictable as possible.

Root canal has always been perceived as a painful treatment. But, I’m here to change that perception.

I am here to listen to my patient’s concerns so that I am able to address their personal dental needs. I take pride in utilizing the latest technology in endodontics that will allow treatment to be more predictable and completed in less time. I will provide my patients with exceptional endodontic care with the help of our highly trained, experienced, and caring professional team.”
