What Dr. Wong’s Patients are Saying
“I did not like going to the dentist, but during my first visit, the staff reassured me that I would not feel pain. They even held my hand. It was pain free. Since that time, I’ve had a deep cleaning and some major work done, and now I have no problem walking into Dr. Wong’s office. I wouldn’t go to anyone else but Dr. Wong.” – Kimberly S.
“I was in pain, extremely nervous, and needed a tooth extracted. Not only did Dr. Wong calm my nerves, but he also took time to explain the procedure. I passed on the implant for my molar tooth since it didn’t affect my chewing. There was no hard sell. Dr. Wong accepted and agreed with my decision.” – Doug M.
