Your General Dentist
Dr. Steve Hong
Growing up, Dr. Hong’s family moved around quite a bit, from South Korea to major cities throughout the United States. Finally, in 1993, they moved to Seattle, Washington, and decided to plant deep roots. During all this time, he learned about Dr. Albert Schweitzer, a physician that spent his time in Africa and devoted his life and career to providing aid to those in need. Dr. Hong knew that he wanted to follow in Dr. Schweitzer’s footsteps, and help others regain their health and relieve their pain.
He headed to University of Washington, where he received his Bachelor’s in Psychology before going to NYU Dental School. Of course, when his education was completed, he returned to Washington, so he could bring his unique brand of dental excellence to the place he’s always felt most at home. When he’s not in the office, you’ll find him spending time with his family, hiking when the weather’s nice, or staying in and playing board games with the kids. He also enjoys golfing, running, and spinning to stay in shape.
Your Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Jinju Song
Dr. Song received her Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Washington. She earned her dental degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. While in dental school, she discovered the joy of working with children. She then decided to further her professional studies in pediatric dentistry at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. Her training provided her with extensive training in all phases of pediatric dentistry including but not limited to behavior management, trauma management, sedation dentistry, special needs dentistry and interceptive orthodontics. In addition to English, Dr. Song is fluent in Korean.
Dr. Song is very passionate about treating children of all ages and helping them to have better dental health. She strongly believes childhood is a time of life when she can have a very positive influence on their dental care and their outlook on the importance of dental health.
When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Song enjoys spending time with her husband and son.
