Dr. Hong has been my dentist for about 2 years now and she is just so wonderful and gentle. She is very thorough in her explanations and like one of the other reviewers mentioned, my mouth doesn’t hurt when she takes x-rays. She is so much more careful than other dentists I’ve been to in the past-I actually never knew that you could get x-rays taken without the inside of your mouth hurting when you press your teeth down which leads me to believe that other dentists just don’t really care about hurting you. Also, there have been many times in the past when I’ve been to the dentist and they rest their hand on my lip over my teeth and my lips get swollen from it to the point where it looks like I’ve had collagen injections in my lips(I never have and my lips are big enough so I don’t need them to look bigger than already are!) I’ve never had that issue at Dr. Hong’s office. The staff is very nice also-Maria and Alexa. Also, they email you and they can also text you appointment reminders. I’m so glad I found Dr. Hong because I’ve been to some bad dentists in the past and I’ve had some very unpleasant experiences! If you’re looking for a dentist, I would highly recommend Dr. Hong!

I have been a patient of Dr. Hong’s for a few years now, and I really appreciate the gentleness of her touch, and the thoroughness of her explanations. She is patient and understanding when I ask questions, and she also has a keen sense of humor…

I highly recommend Dr. Helen Hong. I started seeing her after I moved here and haven’t considered anyone else. She really does have the gentle touch, she and her staff are knowledgeable and kind, and there hasn’t ever been any surprises as everything has always been explained. Bonus points for never having to wait very long, the current magazines, and the homey-feeling at this dentist office.

If you were a super sensitive gagger like I am, then you’d have to come to see Dr. Hong! As long as I could remember, no one had successfully taken a X-ray that was placed inside my mouth. I would gag and start to cry because those films usually activate my gag reflex terribly. But, when I had my first exam by Dr. Hong a few months ago, she used very creative techniques to make my gagging reflex tone down during the time she took the X-rays. Seriously, I was soooo impressed with her skills and creative techniques that I highly recommend anyone who is a gagger or afraid of dentists to come see her. Dr. Hong will make you feel so comfortable and the most important aspect of her care is I trust her opinion!
