My favorite pastime is running although I enjoy anything outdoors. I am happiest when I am surrounded by dirt, trees, water, or mountains. I have been an active member of the Dolphin South End Runners club since 1989. Many of us in the office run with DSE Runners on Sundays and wed love for you to join us.
It is a joy to go to work daily and I feel blessed to be surrounded by such talented and responsible people for so many years. We work hard toperfect our craft andbring you the best dentistry available. Diane, my wife, works full time as one of the hygienists, and my Mom comes in three times a week to help out. We are an office of close friends and familycommitted to helping you achieve and maintain your dental health.
Diane was born second in line to Herb and Jean at the Kaiser on Geary Blvd. She grew up in Mill Valley and San Rafael. Having lived in one county all her life, Diane wanted to move away for college. She attended and graduated from her dads alma mater, the University of Hawaii, with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1986. After several years of island life, a bit of rock fever hit and the Bay Area called her back. She and Ken met at a friends party. They married in 1997.
Diane joined the San Francisco Dental Hygiene Society in the early 1990s and has served as SFDH President and Membership chair. Diane has been working as a dental hygienist since 1986, since 1994 in our practice! Its a pleasure for her to get to know the patients and especially to watch the young patients grow up.
Andrea was born and raised in San Francisco. She left to earn a degree in biochemistry at UC Davis and later her Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene from Foothill College. She joined our team in 2015 as a dental hygienist.
When shes not working in the dental office, Andrea can be found in the kitchen cooking. Her specialty is developing and photographing recipes for her blog, Cooking With A Wallflower. Her favorite place in San Francisco is the Ferry Building Farmers Market on Saturday mornings where she can be found browsing and looking for inspiration.
Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Mari graduated from Universidade de Campinas (Unicamp) Dental School in 1994. She practiced general dentistry in Brazil from 1994 to 2004, then moved to the United States. She has worked in our office since 2005 as a chairside assistant, extended function dental assistant, and dental laboratory technician.
In 2010 Mari completed her Registered Dental Assistant Extended Function 2 licensing, making her one of the few EF2 assistants practicing in San Francisco. The additional licensing allows Mari to complete most of the procedures that we perform.
Patricia started working with us in 2003 fresh out of dental assisting school. She earned an additionalRegisteredAssistantlicense in 2005. Patricia wears many hats in our office. In addition to her assisting duties, she fills in at the front desk, designs CAD/CAM crowns, and repairs equipment.
Originally from Peru, Patricia has the ability to make a fine ceviche and lomo saltado for her family. On her days off she enjoys running and adventuring, but mostly she enjoys spending time with her young son Valentino the cutest baby in the world!
Patty joined our team in the Summer of 2018. She brings to our office her cheery personality and her knowledge of dealing with insurance companies. Patty has spent many years in dentistry taking care of billing and operations, but shes also a Registered Dental Assistant. You may think youre seeing double, but its Patty taking care of a patient in the back office.
Genevieve, in addition to being Dr. Fongs Mom, has been battling insurance companies on your behalf since 1982. You can catch her at the front desk Monday through Wednesday sometimes bringing in her youngest grandkid, Ronan to help out.

The awesome team that Dr Fong has assembled is professional and very patient focused. From the time I walk in the door to the time I leave I feel great about the experience even if I've endured a substantial procedure. For a minute I went to a different dentist and have regretted making that choice. Dr Fong and his team are simply the best.

Kenneth Fong and the rest of his staff are first rate, I've been going there for at least 20 years and I'm happy to have them take care of my dental work, no regrets. They are very concerned about the safety and care of their patients and have incorporated equipment like air filters and respirators, etc. for prevention of covid and other viruses. I trust them to give the best dental care because they are always up to date with the latest dental care information, equipment, and tools. In my experience, I know they make every effort to save a tooth or do what's proper for my teeth, never cutting corners. Kenneth, Diane, and the rest of the team are always friendly, personable, and helpful with whatever work is required. I can't recommend them highly enough.
