Stephen Y Pong, DDS

I drive down from Seattle to see Dr Pong and his staff.
NO ONE enjoys going to the dentist, but they’ve always taken amazing care of me here! I’ve never had any pain during my cleanings (Tarnia is AMAZING!!) and they can fit me in on short notice when I notice something like a cavity or a chipped tooth (molar, to be exact). Tarnia is awesome during my cleanings — she always remembers our old conversations (how does she do that when I only see her twice a year?!) and it’s never awkward, despite her being knuckle deep in my mouth. I also asked Dr Pong about Invisalign when I first started seeing him, and it would’ve been super easy for him to say, «Sure! We can do that!» but he was totally honest with me and said that I would likely need full on metal braces (yup! I’m a metal mouth now). He said that if I really wanted to, we could do some weird frankenstein combo between Invisalign and metal braces, but to get the type of corrections I needed and to fix everything once and for all, I’d need real braces, thereby giving my hard earned money to another place instead of taking it for himself. Can’t beat that kinda honesty and great service!!!
With this dental office, I’m no longer dreading going to see the dentist AND there’s easy parking. Gotta love it!

My whole family goes there. He is an excellent dentist. His staff are so friendly, makes you feel very comfortable in the chair.

Dr. Pong and his staff are amazing. I could not imagine going anywhere else.
I used to get anxiety real bad at another place, and did not go to the dentist for eight years because of it. This team has made every visit a positive experience. They are professional and great at what they do.

I moved from Seattle to Federal Way and was in search of an all around, nice, friendly, knowledgable dental clinic in my new hometown. Well, when I was visiting another store in the same vicinity as Maple Family Dentistry, I saw a poster board like sign for their clinic and checked it out on Unilocal.=] Despite the small audience of reviews for this facility on Unilocal,I decided to give this place a shot for myself. I’m glad I did. Like the other reviews state, the staff are very friendly and personable. Most importantly, the hygienist & the Dr. are very thorough. From x-​rays to examination (& billing w/​the receptionist), they explain every step of the way.
I’m such a chicken when it comes the visiting the dental office, but knowing that they’re gentle and caring and easy to talk with, it won’t be as difficult to make my way back through those doors for my next upcoming appointment =]

Lets be honest with each other, who really likes going to the dentist?! If you answer yes, you probably are one. Though it’s semiannual routine we all (should) partake in, I have no problem driving from Seattle to Federal Way to see Dr. Pong and his lovely and hilarious staff (we crack jokes, seriously, heh)
I’ve been coming here for 18+ years ever since it was owned by Dr. Vantramp under the Dove Family Dentistry name. Though, Dr. Pong now runs/​owns the office, quality, efficiency and friendliness, is as good if not better than it has always been.
Another thing that really stands out is that they really do care about you and what’s going on in your life. Often times, the staff brings up stuff I’ve told them in the past that I don’t even recall doing so.
Highly HIGHLY recommended to everyone!

Dr. Pong is a great dentist! I have been going to the the same dentist for many years and when the practice was sold to Dr. Pong, I was hesitant… He has been amazing! He is very careful and takes great care of his patients. I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good dentist who actually cares about his patients. If you need a great cleaning, ask for Linda. She is my favorite :)

I am a Periodontist that works with a referral base of over a 100 dentists. I’ve found Dr. Pong’s team to be caring, professional, efficient and excellent clinically. Highly recommended.

My wife Renee highly recommends Dr. Pong. Her comments to the doctor were.
Thank you Adriana for taking such good care of me today. You and Dr Pong make the whole experience the least painful and its much appreciated. My husband ask me if I get gas for my procedures and I told him I don’t need it and I know it’s because of the gentle care you and Dr Pong give.
