Our Patients’ Reviews:
“Went in for a consultation after having some discomfort. Office staff were stellar and professional. The Doctors were AMAZING! The office itself was very relaxing. Thankfully I don’t need a root canal, but if I did this place would be the first stop on my list ! 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND !”
“I was able to see the Doctor right away with an emergency. My tooth had become inflamed and I was in pain. Root canal was done successfully. I was also impressed with follow up texts and call the day after”
“My last appointment with Dr. Mischenko was a pleasure. The staff was very friendly and also pleasant, and the doctor was so personable, taking her time to explain what she was doing while working on my teeth. I certainly will not dread returning to Dr. Mischenko for any other dental work which I may need.”
“Dr Jong and everyone on his team were knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. The office is well run and clean, the administrative staff and dental assistants were very helpful and patient. The most important factor for me with dentistry is the expertise of the doctor and the quality of care, including the doctor’s patience and clarity in communication. Dr. Jong was excellent on all counts. Fortunately, I didn’t need a root canal; rather, I was referred to Dr. Jong by my trusted dentist of 28 years to check an unusual, darkened area on my dental X-rays that needed a more detailed analysis with a cone-beam CAT scan. Dr. Jong carefully analyzed the CAT scan (taken by his dental assistant), checked my teeth, and explained the nature of the darkened area in a clear and patient way. I was appreciative of Dr. Jong’s honest and informative assessment and very happy that I didn’t need further dental work. Nevertheless, if I do need endodontic care in the future, Dr. Jong will be the specialist I see.”
“I have seen Dr. Jong several times over the past few years and concur with all of the good things people have said about him in other reviews. I think a big difference between Dr. Jong and many other dental and medical practitioners is that to Dr. Jong you are a person, not just a patient. He genuinely cares about you and your well being and about your experience during any procedure. And his office calls to check up on you the next day. Add to that he is an extremely talented, experienced, and skilled practioner, and as charming as can be, and what you have is simply the best. He’s the best. I recommend him to anyone without reservation.”
“I was unexpectedly accommodated, in the midst of their busy schedule when I had my tooth pain issue. I was so amazed by the experienced I had with Dr Mischenko and her staff, not to mention the amazing equipment she have in doing on my root canal. She had squeezed me in between their full schedule when she heard I was going on an out of the country Pilgrimage. The staff are friendly making feel at home and Dr Mischenko was so tedious in her work. After the treatment she follows up herself to make sure I am doing ok and that is a five star treatment. Thank you so much Dr. Mischenko and more power to you and your staff and I am forever grateful and thankful.”
““I am very impressed with Dr. Mischenko, with her professional skills and knowledge as well as with her great personality. She worked hard on my complicated tooth and the results are perfect. Thank you Anastasia! “”

“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.”— Sarah N.
“It was great experience. He is very confident and knowledgeable. I didn't have any discomfort during and after my treatment. It was 2-3 years ago. Fast forward to now. My dentist's office took an X -ray last week. I didn't get comment because I didn't see my dentist. But I saw my X-ray of my root canal. It was just the same as if it was just done. Nothing weird showing at all. Hope you will have the same perfect experience with him as I had if you need a root canal.”

“I managed to crack my tooth while enjoying a particularly hard bagel and ignored it. Which ended up with me having to get a root canal on my #15 and my favorite dentist in the whole wide world (Dr. Bonnie Lin) had recommended Dr. Jong. They both were in the same building so why not? I wouldn't need to drive out at all. Dr. Jong is extremely amicable and great to get along with. He fully explained what needed to be done and prescribed antibiotics to quell my infection that had began to start. The procedure itself was relatively pain free and they have films (Planet Earth, it's eight hours long ;)))) ) you can watch whilst getting the root canal. I have terrible gag reflex from both anxiety and things touching the back of my throat. However, with a film to watch and a rubber mat thing placed in the mouth to prevent things touching the throat, it helped reduce it significantly. His dental assistant was also super nice and I liked her a lot! The cost was also average for the area and makes sense for the quality of care I have received. Overall if I somehow messed up again, I would most certainly come back o Dr. Jong for another root canal.”

“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.”

“Best root canal ever.
And I should know, as this was my third. (Sigh. Why is my mouth a war zone?) First one: not too bad, done by a small Persian man who kept saying, "The root is dead!", but probably worse because I didn't know what was coming. Second one: hell on earth, worst two hours of my life, done by an endodontist who clearly did not understand the first thing about his job and/or how to interact nicely with humans. Third one: was it even a root canal? Or was it a tiny pinch of Novocaine and then an astonishing wait for pain that never actually appeared? (And I'm not just talking about physical pain -- how is it even possible that my bill was so low?) Dr. Jong, I know you admonished me for not flossing enough. But, honestly, I'm almost tempted to ignore you just so I can come back. Almost.”

“I am an RN and I have a mouth full of root canals by various endodontists over the course of my 50 years. Most recently I had a horrible experience somewhere else. Enter Dr. Jong. He is a thoughtful, clinically outstanding endodontist who is patient-centered. He involved me in decision-making regarding the retreatment of my tooth. Once we decided the best course together, he treated me right there and then - painlessly! My tooth feels so much better, and I am grateful for his skill and compassion. I recommend him without reservation.”

“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.”
