    Everyone at the practise was wonderful. The reception staff were friendly and took time to explain charges for my upcoming procedures. Dr. Hong was amazing, walked me through my x-rays and options for treatment, and the hygienist was equally as great, very friendly and explained everything she was doing! Highly, highly recommend.

    Dr. Hong was very responsive, skillfully provided treatment to control the pain, and reached out to an endodontist who could provide the necessary treatment on the same day. The nurses were very kind and caring.

    Dr. Hong was compassionate with my dental concerns and previous trauma, and helped us get an emergency oral surgery set up on very short notice. Dental hygienists Connie & T are gentle, encouraging, and straightforward with patients.

    Dr. Hong and her staff are amazing. I have some pretty intense anxiety about visiting the dentist. From my first contact they made me feel so comfortable and safe. I am so happy to be connected to such a caring practice. Also, they are very serious with their COVID protocols and I felt very safe.

    Such a kind and caring group. I was very nervous to come in because I haven’t seen a dentist in a long time. Everyone was very reassuring, there was no shaming like I’ve experienced in the past from other dental groups. They were careful with their cleaning and explained everything a long the way. I’m so glad I found them!
