Hi, I'm Dr. Wendan Li. I graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Neuroscience and went on to complete my doctoral training from the University of California, San Francisco. I then re-visited my alma mater Columbia University, where I received my Certificate in Orthodontics and Master of Science degree, serving as Chief Resident. After completing my residency, I moved back to the Bay Area to the Bay Area to be closer to my family. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and I'm an avid home cook and baker. I also love trying new restaurants, traveling, hiking, watching movies, listening to podcasts, reading, and doing art.
It's my privilege as an orthodontist to be part of my patients' journeys towards achieving healthy, beautiful, and confident smiles. I look forward to providing the highest quality orthodontic care for you.
Hi, I am Dr. Trien Lam. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California at Davis graduating with honors, and continued my education at the University of California at San Francisco, where I received my D.D.S. degree.
I regularly attend dental education courses so that I can offer my patients various options in latest and modern dental techniques and technology available. I strive to practice gentle and individualized care, thus building a lasting relationship with my patients that is built in trust and respect.
When not practicing dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my three kids, biking, camping and watching sports. I am an avid fan of both Bay Area sports teams - the San Francisco Forty Niners and the Golden State Warriors.
Hi, I am Caleb Cho. I was born in South Korea, and followed my immigrant parents to America when I was 9 years old. I grew up in some of the roughest neighborhoods in Southern California, studying hard during the school days, but making sure to play every sport physically possible during the weekends. I still enjoy playing basketball, tennis, and golf when Im not working, and recently I picked up mountain biking just to keep up with my nephews.
I went to UC Riverside for my undergraduate studies in Biology, and earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Loma Linda School of Dentistry. I had a private practice in Anchorage, Alaska, but the warm weather and family eventually lured me back to California. I have lived in many places, but in my humble opinion, there is no place like Northern California.
We know that our office is only as effective and as welcoming as the people who work in it, which is why we take pride in our friendly and well-trained team members! We put your needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment in a supportive and nurturing environment.

I had a horrible tooth ache, a swollen cheek and a very bad infection - and I was in agony - on a Saturday. This excellent practice was not only open on Saturday, they squeezed me for what was an emergency root canal - despite having a packed schedule. The staff was great and the work was very quick and top notch. These guys warrant 5 stars every day of the week. I could not be happier, as I type this review on the following Sunday - pain free!

The best dental office in Walnut Creek, from reception answering every question, to their dentist making sure to give you advice to keep a great smile. Always offering exceptional dental care with excellent customer service. I cannot say enough good things about my experience.

I love sharing great finds in the overwhelming search for medical providers. Great experiences so far! I had to see a dentist for an urgent matter, and I'm new in town so I didn't have time to Dentist shop. Lucky for me, Ygnacio Dental has been wonderful. I've seen both Dr. Cho and Dr. Lam, both are incredibly kind, take the time to explain and answered all my questions. As someone who isn't fond of going to the dentist, these guys actually take that dread away. However it is the reception, that really makes this place above and beyond. They helped me though understanding insurance and out of pocket estimates, very knowledgable and kind. Communication has been top notch with this office. 5 stars!

I and my family have been patients of Ygnacio dental for several years. Recently, I was suffered from toothache. Dr Cho's and his staffs were stellar from prompt arrangement of appointment to careful and down to earth treatment by Dr Cho. Yet, another reason to continuously visit Ygnacio dental and give stellar review to Stella, and her office staffs.

I was initially really worried about coming to the dentist during covid but the staff has implemented all the necessary safety precautions (glass barrier at front office, staff wearing masks/gloves)! They even took my temp upon entry so I was very relieved! The orthodontist, Dr. Lam was very clear and thorough in explaining exactly what I needed. Also the staff is always smiling and very friendly

I've had many dentists over the past 3 years, and this is the first administrator I've met who actually called the insurance company before my visit and knew how much my insurance would cover. In previous offices, I've had administrators tell me that I wasn't covered, while my dental insurance told me I was.

I have only had a handful of dentists in my life, but this is where they listened to me, answered all my questions and followed up with me to check up on after care. No dentist or doctor in my life has done that ever. There's definitely an effort on relationship building here. Thank you!
