Q: What made you decide to become a dentist?
A: I discovered my passion for dentistry at a young age through the inspiring work of my father, Dr. Chong Lee. Seeing him successfully diagnose and treat patients suffering from complex dental issues and pain, and greatly improving their quality of life, was eye-opening. I wanted to help people live better, healthier lives, too. I love connecting with my patients, listening attentively to their needs and concerns, and building lasting relationships rooted in trust.
Q: What brings you the most satisfaction in your work?
A: Optimizing patients’ overall health by providing dental care that transcends the traditional focus on teeth. Through my comprehensive and physiologic approach to dentistry, I create the best, customized treatment plans that are tailored to my patients’ unique needs. By addressing underlying factors, I enhance not only their oral health but also their overall well-being. I also enjoy problem-solving and thinking outside the box to offer my patients the best dental solutions—and then seeing the positive results reflected on their faces.
