David O Wong, DDS

Second time in the office. Still very happy! I was a hard decision to actually switch dentists after we moved to this area, but I think it’s a good decision. I had a thorough examination by Dr Wong last month and today Sylvia cleaned my teeth very nicely. I was impressed that she performed a cancer screening too. Happy teeth!

In the past, like many humans, I had a big dentist phobia. It took walking laps around the office, and prescription medication in order for me to even get my teeth cleaned. Thus when I moved, I knew it was time for me to suck it up, be an adult, and get a new dentist; and that’s how I found Dr S.
The first redeeming factor was the location. Super close to my work, and just off the freeway on the Airport blvd, near the Airport Club Gym. They are located next to relaxing lake, in a beautifully appointed medical building that looks nothing like a dental facility, and more like a house. Ambiance is relaxing, calm, and friendly, and offset any of my beginning nerves from walking in.
Second redeeming factor was Bodie. I LOVE dogs. The office has a sweet, incredibly adorable collie/​sheltie owned by the doctor, and this dog is so snuggly and cute, he makes pet therapy take on a new meaning. Somehow just his presence in the office softened my stress, and relaxed me.
Doctor S is professional, accommodating, and easy to talk to. He made my initial visit much more palatable than I had anticipated, and he really heard me about my teeth, my concerns, and my questions. The dental hygienist that cleaned my teeth the following day was equally as positive. She was understanding about my dental hazards, tooth sensitivity, and was thorough in my cleaning. I ended up with the goodie bag of toothpaste, brushes and floss, but all tailored specifically to my dental needs.
I don’t think anything can ever truly make going to the dentist fun and easy, but Dr S and his team are well on the way for making it closer to a reality. I’m thrilled that Dr S exists, and is one more doctor that is bridging the gap between the world’s negative opinion of dentists, and the possibility of being thankfully wrong.

My mate, Huguette and I have been going to the Wong family dentists for years. First, David’s dad, Fred Wong, now sadly deceased, occasionally to David’s brother, Kenneth, and now David. They are some of the nicest and warmest people, that you would ever want to go to for your dental needs. And as someone else pointed out, some of the funniest story tellers to ever man a dental drill! I hightly recommend David or Kenneth.

I choose Dr. Wong based on his Unilocal reviews and I couldn’t have been happier. Dr. Wong is a very honest and nice guy. He doesn’t judge you for how often you have gone in the dentist in the past — he’s just happy you came to his office!
I was nervous when I went to his office (the last time I had went was a few years before and I was ripped off by the dentist — said they took my insurance and then didn’t take it in the end costing me a lot of $$). I have to say I was shocked that everything that was done he made sure was covered by my insurance so I didn’t incurr any other charges.
He’s also very meticulous with cleanings — he does them all himself and teaches at the dental school (teaches dental hygenists how to clean teeth). Needless to say, my toes were curled around the edge of the chair but a few days later my teeth and gums were a lot happier.
I also referred my boyfriend to him and he loved him as well. He had a few fillings that he was quickly able to fill without causing any pain. In short, I’m referring several other friends to him as well and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist in San Francisco :-)

This father –son-​son dentistry practice is the epitome of family values.
They are really the nicest bunch of humble, nice, down-​to earth, funny, non-​condescending dentists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting (they do not chastise me for not flossing enough, grinding my teeth, or the infrequency of my regular check-​ups). In fact, they are more humble than my childhood and family dentist in my Minnesota home town.
I find visiting their office very comforting as they are clearly not product pushers or more focused on marketing their practice then caring for the patient.
Both Kenneth and David Wong (brothers) are stellar dentists and both teach at local dentist schools. David is a BIG talker, but he is so open and good at telling stories that I look forward to my visits (the choices his children make and SF crime being the focal point of our conversations).
I’ve seen Kenneth Wong once and David now twice for general cleaning and x-​rays but have had no major work so I cannot comment beyond generalities but highly recommend both!

Dave Wong is the nicest, least judgmental dentist ever. No hand-​slapping or condescending talk about failing to floss 19 times a day. My friend also went to Dave and said he’s the first dentist that didn’t harp on him for smoking.
Dave is a bit of a talker, making what would be a 15 minute appointment closer to 30 minutes… but he’s so gentle and friendly, it doesn’t even matter. At least he tells good stories, so you forget that you have your mouth gaping open in front of a stranger. Since finding Dave, never once have I dreaded my biannual dentist visit!
