Dr. Chung and his staff are amazing. They are very professional and friendly. They always find time on the schedule to accommodate patients. I called on the weekend at 9pm for an emergency, Dr Chung was in the office in less than 15 minutes to address the concern. I have dealt with many Orthodontists in the past, and I can tell you that Dr. Chung is by far the best. Highly Recommended!

Dr. Chung is by far the best orthodontist in NJ. Both my boys had braces and their teeth are perfect. His process is extremely defined and meticulously regimented. His staff is beyond professional and his office locations are impeccable and spotless. Look no further. You need to see come here.

Dr. Chung and his staff are super friendly and have always taken the time to thoroughly explain the orthodontic process for all three of my children's needs. Their Freehold office is gorgeous and they are always accommodating when it comes to scheduling an appointment. My youngest recently had his braces removed... I'm very happy with the end result for all of my children and would highly recommend Dr. Chung for orthodontic care.
