Yedeh Ying

Dentists keep the city chewing.

Yedeh Ying sits inside the Russell Wing Medical Educational Building on 19th Street South, a stretch that feels more like a teaching corridor than a neighborhood. Birmingham’s medical district has a way of swallowing small practices whole, but they hold their ground between the lecture halls and the parking decks. The address—619 19th St S, Birmingham, AL 35233—lands you in a cluster of white coats and stethoscopes, where the hum of fluorescent lights is the only soundtrack.

General check-ups, fillings, and the occasional crown keep the chairs occupied. Cleanings happen here, too, along with the less glamorous work of root canals and extractions. X-rays get read between patients, and the occasional emergency walks in without warning. The place doesn’t advertise itself; it just shows up on the directory board next to the elevators.

Directions pull up quickly on your phone if you plug in the map. For anything else, the number is (205) 934-6405—no frills, just digits. Find the spot here.

You’ll recognize the building by the students smoking outside between classes.
