I was in about a month ago and did not enjoy my experience. Dr. Hong is extremely standoffish and short to the point of almost being rude, and even his assistant seemed to be embarrassed by the way he was speaking to me. After he left the room, I turned and asked her if I had said anything wrong, and she signed and said, "Don't worry, you're not the only patient that asks this after he's finished; he's got that brooding doctor thing going".

Terrible bedside manners from the doctor. I felt so unwelcome by him, and I do not recommend this office. The only reason I stayed through my check-up was because of how personable and comfortable his assistant made me feel after he left.

I have been a very satisfied patient for years with Dr Hong and his staff. They make me very comfortable and well taken care of. I have had many different procedures including an implant that was very successful. I go in for regular cleanings and they take my insurance. Nice easy parking. I drive from Milton and am very happy with the care I receive. Come in and meet them. 10/11/2024 update. .

Updated review from recent visit: I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Hong and his team! I recently had a dental emergency—a chipped tooth—and they got me in right away. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and efficient, and Dr. Hong was incredibly kind, professional, and meticulous in his work. He took the time to explain my options, made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process, and the repair was flawless—you can’t even tell anything happened! I really appreciate his attention to detail and patient-first approach.

It’s rare to find a dentist who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his patients. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and talented dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Hong. I’m grateful for his help and will definitely be coming back for future dental care! — Dr. Hong is the sweetest and warmest doctor ever! He took care of my needs and made me feel confident about my smile! Thank you so much!

My husband got his teeth "cleaned" here a little over a year ago. this dr did such a half-assed job that the dentist that my husband and I now see is having to dig loose pieces of calculus out from significantly below his gum line because when he went in to get a cleaning from Hong, Hong was lazy i guess and instead of making sure the calculus came out, he just pushed it further in. Our current dentist said "If I hadn't talked to you and knew you got your teeth cleaned last year, I would have guessed that it's been about three years or more since your last cleaning.

" Sadly, even though we had a good experience in the moment, we deeply recommend going somewhere else.
