Meet your dentist
Dr. Joon Woo Sohn, DMD
“I only see one patient at a time. Honestly, it’s my favorite part of the job: sitting down with you, hearing what’s going on, and showing you what I see in plain terms. Ask me anything, as many times as you need. I’d much rather take a few extra minutes than have you walk out unsure.”
Dr. Sohn continues the practice Dr. Wayne Wong built on Imperial Highway over more than 40 years, and Dr. Wong chose him personally to care for his patients. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine at the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health.
What patients say
“I had my first visit to this dental office today after several years without seeing a dentist. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which helped me feel comfortable right away. I appreciated that the staff didn’t try to push any procedures or sell me anything. They took the time to explain my x-rays and dental model, pointed out a few things to keep an eye on, and shared ways to help prevent future issues.”

“Dr. Sohn took the time to explain everything clearly so I knew exactly what to expect. What really stood out to me was how much he communicated during every procedure. … I never felt rushed or like I was just another patient he had to see that day.”
