Raised in San Francisco, Dr. Ng attended college at UC Davis where he graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Microbiology and received the UC Davis “Outstanding Senior Award.” He then went on to earn his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from the prestigious UC San Francisco and was elected to the O.K.U. National Honorary Dental Society at UCSF. Proving to be a true “UC guy” through and through, Dr. Ng stayed at UCSF for his additional three years of specialty training in Orthodontics where he served as the Chief Resident of his class and was selected to be the recipient of the Dr. Righellis Endowed Scholarship Award. Upon receiving his Orthodontic Specialty Certification, Dr. Ng also completed his Masters degree in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences at UCSF.
Dr. Ng loves the field of orthodontics as he sees it to be the mindful application of science coupled with the subtleties of art and aesthetics. Above all, he cherishes the opportunity to connect with patients from all walks of life on a personal level. Having tutored both children and adolescents while he was in college, Dr. Ng feels honored to be able to continue guiding his patients in a similar capacity throughout their transformative orthodontics journey.
Outside dentistry, Dr. Ng is passionate about music and singing, having sung bass in multiple choirs and acapella groups all his life. In fact, one of his proudest achievements is having served as the Music Director of the interprofessional UCSF Vocal Chords Acapella group for 3 years.
