Ive been with Lum Family Dental, now Wong Family Dental, for over ten years. The service and care remains just as incredible today as the very first visit. The word Family applies to both the dental staff and how they treat their patients.
The doctor is wonderful, professional and knowledgeable. They provide you with the best service when possible! Whenever I had a question, they were ready to answer. Quick responses and follow ups, and always gives the best advice. I would highly recommend this office.
I have been to many doctors that could not address my case. I understood my problem area was difficult to address but the doctor was able to recommend the proper treatment without being aggressive. I appreciated the staff understanding my concerns. Now, Im able to return to my normal life!
