Dr. Yang is one of two doctors I have written a review for in my entire life. I usually don't write reviews for doctors because unlike restaurants and hotels, I don't think of doctors as part of the service industry. However, Dr. Yang is different. Dr. Yang is the only dentist I will ever go to because of her extraordinary ability to cause no pain. I have the lowest pain tolerance out of anyone. I have fainted from getting stitches removed, and I have fainted from seeing my younger brother's broken leg. With my incredibly low pain tolerance and extremely high anxiety from the sight of blood, Dr. Yang is somehow able to make my dentist visits not scary at all. I had 4 wisdom teeth removed by her. I came in on 2 separate days and had 2 teeth done on each day. Dr. Yang suggested doing 2 at a time so I could use the other side to eat. I was deathly scared of coming in the first time, but I kid you not - when it was over, I did not even know it was over. I thought she had not started yet. My anxiety was so bad during the first operation that I told her that I wanted to give up. She told me I was already done! After my first visit, I felt no pain for 4 hours. Then I felt slight pain, but it was so tolerable that I was able to see my friends that night. They were surprised that I was even walking because during their experiences, their dentists used general anesthesia and they were bleeding for at least two days. I was seeing my friends 5 hours after 2 wisdom teeth were removed and I was eating solid food (I know - I shouldn't have, but I wanted steak) the next day. My second set of teeth removal was a little more complicated because my bottom one was in the nerve canal and it was also unusually large. It took an extra 5 minutes, but again - no pain! She explained to me that she cut off part of the tooth as opposed to digging into the gums of my teeth to remove it. This is more difficult and only more advanced and experienced dentists can do it without causing pain. Cutting into the teeth can be very painful or not painful at all while cutting into the gums definitely causes a little pain. She cut into the tooth that she was removing and did not cause any pain at all. Thus, the healing process will be much easier. I am honestly so so so surprised of how little pain there was. I still am so so so surprised. I recommend all my dental school friends to visit her for a potential internship and I recommend all my friends to come here for any potentially painful operation. Dr. Yang is one of a kind, and I am so lucky that she was my dentist.
