Dr. John Chung immigrated to the United States from South Korea at a young age for his education and a chance to pursue the American Dream. He obtained his bachelors in Chemistry from U.C. Davis while financially supporting himself through college as a landscaper/gardener. Going back an forth between South Korea and America to support his family, serve in the Korean military, and earn his education. He was eventually accepted into Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Dentistry in 1989 where the reality of his dream started to come together. There, Dr. Chung met his lovely wife Yesook who was a Registered Nurse at the time. Once Dr. Chung graduated, he decided to pursue his own private practice with the help of his wife. Eventually, Yesook left her nursing career to help manage the family practice while also raising 3 boys.
Chung Family Dentistry could not be what it is today without the support from family, friends, mentors, and the local community. John Chung did not let difficult circumstances prevent him from achieving his dreams. He always had hope and a willing heart. Through his faith, perserverance, and strong work ethic, Dr. Chung has come a long way since his small rental office space.

Nice and efficient dentists. Went for check-up and cleaning. The dentist explained a few things to me (gum recession, proper flossing technique) and I was happy with the explanation. They didn't try to push extra services onto me. Overall I felt like my health was their primary concern.

I went to get cleaning as usual with Dr Chung (female) for a stranger to walk in as my dentist politely asked what was going on and who she was she was the new dentist....wow i was never told my dentist left the area to start a practice in Washington State it was an unpleasant surprise. This new dentist was nervous, scared to touch my teeth I went from deep scale and planing to my teeth gums the same as when I walked in. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS OFFICE!!!

I've went there twice so far, and each time they have scratched my gums (by accident) and the inside of my cheek. So unprofessional and discouraging.

I just finished the process of a root canal and crown. My crown looks great. I couldnt be happier with the result. The staff are very nice and make you feel comfortable.
