“I am so impressed by the professionalism, concern for safety and the patient’s wellbeing, and friendliness of the staff. Dr. Jong saw me for a consultation and following a scan he showed me why a root canal was necessary and described how it would be done. When I began to schedule it he said he had time to it right then if I was willing. I was glad he spared me another visit. It was absolutely painless! He frequently asked how I was doing and an assistant put on a TV show to distract me. I was very impressed by how he and his assistant worked so well as a team. When we finished he explained the necessary followup with my gentist and a 4-month checkup with him. It’s late in the day and still no pain. I highly recommend him.”

“From my first call to Bethesda-Chevy Chase Root Canal Specialists, I was treated with kindness and compassion. Dr. Jong is absolutely a five-star endodontist. He diagnosed the problem and explained everything that would happen during the procedure. During the pain-less procedure, he again explained everything and checked to make sure I was OK. Everyone I met on the team was five-star as well, so organized, professional and courteous, I’m so happy I found this practice! Please don’t risk your health, a root canal with Dr. Jong is nothing to be scared of - you will be just fine. I’m a big baby when it comes to dental work, and I sailed right through!”

“The office is clean, professional, and has the state-of-the-art equipments. The staff is wonderful and the attention to patient comfort was first rate. Dr. Jong is very friendly and attentive. I really appreciate that he explains what he is doing during my treatment. He constantly checks to make sure that I’m still comfortable throughout the procedure. The root canal went very well and I had minimal discomfort. I will recommend this office to anyone in need.”

“I was sent to Dr. George Jong as an emergency case. He saw me immediately and cleaned out a very bad infection but noted it was so deep that it would take more treatment before the root canal could be completed. He checked in with me several times and even opened up the office at night the next day when it appeared the antibiotics were not working and the infection was spreading. He is quick, efficient, and very gentle. His staff likewise. I had no pain in the treatment and could relax in the chair knowing I was in good hands. I only wish he was qualified to perform surgery on my shoulder, I’d use him immediately, I have that much confidence in him. And, he never lectured me about waiting so long to get the infection treated! He and his staff are keepers, I highly recommend them.”

“Dr. Jong was amazing! He was extremely friendly, competent, and gentle. He explained everything before and during the procedure.
The office is so modern and state of the art. I watched a dvd while he was working under the microscope and before I knew it, the root canal was done. The best part was the whole procedure was completely painless!I am so happy Dr. Jong is my endodontist.”

“Dr. Jong is hands down the best that I have ever come across.

When I first went to see Dr. Jong it was because I was in need of 3 root canals on the same side of my mouth. I had just left my previous dentist and was in search of someone that would make me feel comfortable. Dr. Jong listened to all of my concerns and was extremely patient and attentive.

I ended up doing all of my root canals with him and I did not feel any pain at all during any of the procedures. He takes his time and is very thorough. He will continue to review and correct his work until he is completely satisfied so you can be sure that you have received the best treatment.

The office is extremely clean and very organized. He followed up with me after all of my procedures which made me feel like he really cares. If you are in the DMV area I would highly recommend going to him. I am 100% confident in his abilities.”

“Yes, a 5 star review for a root canal.  What else is there to do in Maryland on a nice summer day? :-)  

I was told I might need a root canal months ago - but I definitely didn’t want to rush in unnecessarily if it wasn’t absolutely needed - and luckily I didn’t have the pain that causes most others to need to find someone immediately. I went to 4 other places prior to meeting Dr. Jong and as soon as I met him I felt at ease and knew I was in the right place.  He spent a lot of time with me listening to my history, performed tests and did an x-ray and determined that it definitely had been ‘curtains’ for my problem tooth with the abscess above it.  When the icy swab placed on surrounding teeth caused immediate sensitivity but that one was basking happily in the cold it couldn’t feel, along with the review of the x-ray and my other symptoms - we decided together it was time to schedule the root canal.  Dr. Jong explained all aspects of the upcoming procedure and spent the time to answer any questions I had, putting me completely at ease. 

It ended up taking 2 appointments due to my hidden 4th canal, which they discovered at the first appointment using their amazing cone-beam CT to confirm its existence - but both appointments were pain and problem free.  Dr. Jong was with me every step of the way, explaining things and making sure I was comfortable.  I was very glad the office has the latest technology and even above that - for all of their endodontic procedures, and I truly appreciated how thorough and detailed Dr. Jong was, as I wanted the highest chance possible to not need any sort of revision.  

Dr. Jong accepts a lot of different insurance plans as well - including some of the ones from dental plans dot com - so the lower cost to me was an added bonus.  

I can’t say I hope I have a need for additional root canals - but if I do, I will definitely return to see Dr. Jong. I wish they offered other dental services in their office because it was a nice soothing environment and I would go there for every dental need, but it is solely endodontics.  It is their specialty...and it shows.”

“An Exceptional & Professional Experience.
Please read this in its entirety and hopefully it will save you some time researching Dr. Jong and Bethesda-Chevy Chase Root Canal Specialists. You won’t go wrong choosing this endodontist.
I was on out of town business travel this week in DC when an excruciating toothache flared up in a tooth I had been previously advised might need a root canal. Being out of town, my primary dentist was unable to refer me to anyone in the area. I was extremely concerned about choosing the “wrong” endodontist. I was desperate, and in my extreme discomfort I researched scores of local endodontist practices, and decided on Dr. George Jong of Bethesda-Chevy Chase Root Canal Specialists. It was a chance but one I had to take. After two days & nights of suffering, I called first thing in the morning and explained my circumstances. They rearranged scheduling to accommodate me with an appointment within several hours. 
As soon as I walked in, I was relieved to see a first rate, spotlessly clean, professional office and was greeted by especially helpful staff.  I was shown to the exam area which had all state of the art equipment, including video TV on the ceiling for the enjoyment of patients.
I was introduced to Dr. Jong who I cannot say enough about. He is one genuinely caring professional with a most calming demeanor who patiently explained everything to me before taking X-rays which were immediately shown to me on a big color screen. We went forward with the root canal procedure and although I had only had one performed prior to this, it was as pleasant and painless as I could imagine it could be. Dr. Jong kept updating me throughout the process as he knew I wanted to be. I have to say the video on the ceiling was especially helpful in helping the time pass for me.
Upon completion, Dr. Jong again explained everything to me. In addition to his high level of professionalism, he is an exceptionally nice person. When I left, he provided me with his cell phone # and asked that I please call if I experienced any complications. (I haven’t met another doctor who did that).
That evening, thankful for the relief he had provided, I was out to dinner when I received the following text message: “Hi Shane, Dr. Jong here. Just checking to make sure you are doing ok.”
That was the icing on the cake for me.
I highly recommend Dr. Jong and his staff if you need professional, caring and pleasant orthodontic care. He takes great pride in his work and it shows. I guess the only down side for me is that I will likely never see him again.
Thank you again Dr. Jong and staff. 
PS: When I returned to the Boston area and had the permanent crown completed by my (very particular) primary dentist, he made it a point to comment on what an exceptional done had been done on the root canal.”
