My journey in dentistry began with a personal experience that shaped my entire approach to patient care. As a child, an unfortunate encounter with a dentist who seemed indifferent to patient comfort made me realize there had to be a better way. This early experience fueled my passion for dentistry and my commitment to providing compassionate and exceptional care.
1997: Graduated from Temple University School of Dentistry with a Doctorate of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.)
1998: Completed Advanced Education in General Dentistry at Columbia University
School of Dental and Oral Surgery
My dedication to staying at the forefront of dental advancements has led me to pursue numerous certifications and continuing education courses. I’m particularly passionate about TMJ treatment, occlusion, and dental sleep medicine. The National Consumer Advisory Council has honored my commitment to excellence by voting for me to be recognized as America’s Best Dentist in 2013 and 2020.
Originally from Busan, South Korea, I've called New Jersey home for the past 25 years. When I am not in the office, I enjoy golfing, dancing, and playing pickleball with my wife. My background as an army chef instilled in me a deep-rooted desire to serve others, which extends to my involvement in local church activities and past participation in mission trips to many countries including Sierra Leone, Kenya, Haiti, and many others.
I’m proud to be associated with several esteemed organizations:
Fellow of the International Congress of Osseous Integration
Fellow of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain
Fellow of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain
Diplomat of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine
