“I take pride in what I do in dentistry. I want my work to be shown and judged by my colleagues to be of the utmost quality and merit. Even after over thirty years of my professional life, I still do not take any job lightly. Whether it be a simple filling or a quick recall examination, I want my work to be diligent and I want to do it with perfection. You owe it to your patients for their trust in you. You want every job that you do for your patients to last a very long time. That is the aptitude I take every day when I walk in my office. My patients’ interests always come first.” -Dr. Fong
