Went to Nicole Yingling DDS in the summer of 2020 because she was highly recommended by my local dentist for a root canal and other surgery that my normal dentist didn't think he could perform successfully. As for the procedure it went "ok", and she was able to see my within a few days of my initial call. However, I was in a lot of pain after the surgery, and I called twice in to her office as she advised if there was any complications. All she told me was to come in for yet another appointment a few days later so she could see what the issue was. She supposedly didn't want to issue more antibiotics or pain meds over the phone even though she told me she would when I was in for the surgery the first time. Really? She should have already known what the issue was since she is the one who performed the surgery on me not even 3 days prior. I feel like her only goal was to get me to come back into her office as many times as she could so I would have to pay a deductible which was $40 dollars per visit even if I only talked to her. Which if you are wondering "Yes" she did charge me just to come in and look in my mouth for 30 seconds. Secondly and probably worst of all about this place is their lack of clear pricing policies. Granted it's my fault for not getting a full pricing breakdown on everything that needed done ahead of time but I thought I could trust this lady, and her practice since she came so highly recommended.
Do not make the same mistake I did regardless of how many people recommend her. I am now having to pay over $1100 dollars out of pocket after I was assured everything they were doing was covered by my insurance. As it turns out after paying my initial $400 dollar deductibles TWO times totaling $800 dollars for two different surgeries the day of my procedures. I was later sent a bill in the mail about a month later for an additional $1100 because apparently my insurance did NOT in fact cover most of the procedures that she performed on me. Which how would she have not known that if they did a request for clearance in advance like they say they did. Or that fact that I have a well known insurance that millions of people use. You are going to tell me she couldn't tell just by looking at my insurance and from previous patients examples if I was covered for what she wanted to do? It's not like I am carrying some obscure insurance that no one takes it is a national brand. I even asked that question in advance as I did not want to get stuck with a huge bill. That seems to have happened anyway. So again if you are stuck going to this woman to have surgery please please please contact your dental insurance prior to going and make sure that everything is going to be covered ahead of time personally.
Do NOT take her office's workers word for it as they will tell you anything you want to hear to get you in that seat so they can make money off of you. That is sadly what happened to me. I will never go back to this doctor even if my teeth were on fire, and she was only dentist left on the planet. Too many other options around my area to deal with this kind of unprofessionalism. I even cancelled my future appts with my current regular dentist and dropped him as well. It was his fault in the first place for recommending her to me for a quick surgery, and he praised her which is why I went there. If he has that bad of a judgement about his colleagues, and how they treat their patients I don't think I want to trust his judgement on my teeth either.

I was extremely impressed with the level of care and expertise provided with Dr. Yingling. 😄 The staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I appreciated the attention to detail and emphasis on patient safety. Overall, I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of specialized dental care.

My mom went to Dr. Yingling because she was told she needed a root canal or get it pulled on tooth 31. When Dr. Yingling looked at the tooth and tooth X-rays,, it didn’t look like anything was wrong with number 31. After a little more examination, a more appropriate tooth was discovered. Because that tooth was already capped, my mom won’t have to pay for a cap and I’m glad my mom chose to look into a root canal, instead of trying to save money by getting the tooth pulled.
She could have gotten a perfectly good tooth pulled and she still would’ve needed a root canal later. My mom has nothing but great things to say about the office. My mom is 86 years old and our family dentist, who’s retired now always said, “it’s worth saving your teeth, regardless. Thank you Dr. Yingling
