Board Certified Orthodontist
While most orthodontists are not board certified, Dr. Hong has reached the highest standard in her field by achieving Board Certification from the American Board of Orthodontics.
Superior Training
Like her husband Dr. Kottar, Dr. Hong is a graduate of the highly esteemed Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. She completed her general practice residency at New York Methodist Hospital. With a desire to pursue orthodontics as a specialty, she went on to fulfill her Orthodontic Residency at the University of Pennsylvania. Her specialized training focused on Orthodontics with a strong emphasis on growth and development for adolescents as well as interdisciplinary treatment for adults.
Life-Changing Passion
Dr. Hong’s passion for orthodontics began in her teenage years when braces changed her life. As a young girl with a large gap between her front teeth, she was shy, self-conscious, and unsure of herself. Braces transformed her smile and her life, as she became a confident, brave young woman who would aspire to help others experience the same transformation. With a unique upbringing, Dr. Hong is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese.
When not serving patients, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their young daughter. She loves pursuing knowledge, learning new facts and trivia, traveling, dining out, and being part of a “foodie” family.
