Meet Doctor Douglas Wong
I’m a general dentist and the good thing about being a general dentist is I still can do orthodontics and I can do surgery. I’ve always liked helping people and two, I’ve always liked doing things with my hands. A lot of my patients have been with me 20 plus years and you know, I’ve seen kids since they were born to now graduating from college and unfortunately some move away but they have found a career. There are two types of patients that I find most rewarding. One is the patient that’s very fearful. It could have been because they had a very bad experience as a child and I hope to have converted them to being comfortable coming to a dentist. The other patient that I find rewarding is we’ve had patients who have come in with neglected dentition and we were able to convert them to dental health to a point where they are confident with their smile. Their self-esteem has improved. Their friends are asking, did you change your hair or did you lose weight or change your makeup? Well they all started with their smile. Yes, they did change their hair. Yes, they did change their makeup. But it’s all because of how they present themselves now with their self-esteem and their confidence.
