Dr. Kwong's Biography
Dr. Kwong is very involved in organized dentistry and believes it is the key to improving and advancing the profession. She is currently on the board for the Oregon Academy of General Dentistry and the Dental Foundation of Oregon, and is actively pursuing a fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry. She is kind, patient, personable, and has a very calming voice. As a long-time yoga practitioner, she understands the power of pausing and taking deep breaths.
Dr. Kwong became interested in dentistry during her senior year of college. She loved science and educating people and found a passion for working with her hands, making dentistry the perfect career choice!
Growing up, Dr. Kwong had a lot of dental work done, and wants to bridge cultural and communication barriers for the Asian American community regarding the importance of preventive care and oral health. That is by far her biggest passion and what she loves most about dentistry.

It took a long time to get an appointment and then it was rescheduled because my dentist was sick so that put it out two more months. Total of 5 months to get an appointment. That's a lot.

Yes, I just wanted to comment on Dr. Kwong. Very professional, provided my emergency procedure with calmness, just confidence, and very kind, which left me feeling very comfortable, very excellent job, very pleased with the work as well as her assistant, Stephanie. And the receptionists were amazing, along with my person that did my perio care three months ago. I forgot her name, but it's on the schedule. Thank you.

My daughter and I were seen in adjoining operatories and Doctor Kwong listened closely to both our needs and even convinced me I didn't need a whitening program, because a simply polish removed all the superficial light plaque. She recommended instead a biannual visit for plaque removal (I come annually).

Dr. Kwong's team was great. Dr. Kwong only saw me for 2 min and made it clear she had someone else that need more immediate attention from her. I'm hoping my next visit Dr. Kwong will be more available.

I wasn't sure what the question with the appointment if I was given an appointment later or when I actually got there, if I got seated on time. And the appointment time was fine in that sense, but they were booked up for the next appointment. So that was that.
