We found Dr. Derek Wong through a recommendation from another parent at a birthday party, and we're so glad we did. My 9 year old son has been seeing Dr. Wong for over a year after we found out he had a cyst on his upper gum and needed surgery before starting braces. We had a difficult time finding the right surgeon, but Dr. Wong guided us through the entire process and made us feel confident every step of the way. He referred us to an excellent specialist for the surgery, and everything went smoothly. We are very grateful for his care, knowledge, and support. The entire team is wonderful. The nurses and staff are always friendly, caring, and professional. Appointments are always on time, and we never have to wait. We highly recommend Dr. Wong to any family looking for a caring and trustworthy orthodontist. Thank you for taking such great care of our son! read more

Highly Recommend Dr. Wong and His Team! I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Wong and his incredible staff for their outstanding care and support throughout my orthodontic journey. Before beginning treatment, I spent a great deal of time researching orthodontists because I wanted to make sure I chose someone who would provide the best possible results. Choosing Dr. Wong was the best decision I could have made. From the very beginning, Dr. Wong took the time to explain every step of the process and always made sure I understood my progress. At every appointment, he was professional, encouraging, and genuinely cared about making sure I felt comfortable and supported. His positive attitude and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout my entire treatment. Today, my braces finally came off, and I could not be happier with the results. Seeing my new smile for the first time was an incredible moment. My teeth are beautifully straight, and honestly, I could hardly believe the person looking back at me in the mirror was me. I am truly grateful to Dr. Wong and his entire staff for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication. They made this experience a positive one from start to finish. Thank you, Dr. Wong, for everything. You and your team are simply the best. I highly recommend your office to anyone looking for exceptional orthodontic care. read more

Dr. Wong has been handling my children's orthodontic needs for the last three years, and I'm so happy we chose him as our family orthodontist. First, let's talk about the staff. They are amazing and always go above and beyond to help their patients. From scheduling appointments, rescheduling, and even dealing with insurance companies, they are truly top-notch, and I appreciate everything they do for our family. As for Dr. Wong, what more can I say? He is an excellent orthodontist, extremely professional, welcoming, and great at making my children feel calm and comfortable before their procedures. If you're in the SGV, East LA, NELA, or South Pasadena area and need an orthodontist, stop searching and call Dr. Wong. read more

I love how attentive the staff is but I do wish my teeth were more straight. I recently went to get a dental cleaning and my dentist said I should have worn the Invisalign longer. This doesn't take away from the amazing service. I just wish I had kept it on a bit longer. I have had regular braces before so I do know my teeth could be straighter. I had metal braces for about three years so I figured it would take longer with Invisalign. I just wish we would have kept treatment going a bit longer. My front tooth feels like it's still crooked and so does my bottom tooth. read more

Dr Wong and his staff are great. Totally recommend them if you or your child need braces.

As a child my parents didn't have the money for an Orthodontist to straighten my front teeth. As an adult, I was in a position to have my teeth fixed. After a consultation with Dr. Wong, I elected to go with Invisalign. I was an extreme case in terms of Invisalign working; but, after sticking to the plan for 18 months, my teeth are perfect. Dr. Wong and his team did a great job and he has my highest recommendation. read more

The BEST of the BEST!! BEST service great care and exceptional staff especially Maria. The minute i walked into the office 2 years ago i knew they were the ones I would stay with for my ortho care. Maria's sweetness welcoming and excellent care made me have 0 doubt I wasn't going to be perfectly happy with my results and taken care of. DR. Wong explains everything 10000000% to the point and listens to you like you matter, because u matter to him! I can't thank them enough for their care and patience with me. read more

Very friendly staff. Treatment is explained and options are provided. I as an adult felt very comfortable receiving treatment for braces here. I will be having my 8 year old son also receive treatment here when he is ready for braces. Consultations are genuine to what treatment you need, they are not trying to sell you on something you don't need. Highly recommend read more

My daughter is currently getting her braces here. Before I decided to pick this orthodontist, I went and checked out a total of 6 places and I like Derek Wong the best. He was very patient during our first consultation, and was willing to spend time to answer all of our questions. He even showed us his "portfolio" of his past braces patients with before and after photos. His price is also very reasonable. When you are talking to him, you will get a sense that you are in good hands. If you are looking for a place to do braces for your kids or even for yourself, you should consider Derek Wong. At least go and do the first consultation and you will get what I'm talking about. read more

It is very refreshing when you are able to work with such a professional and competent staff like the team at Dr. Wong's office. I cannot recommend Dr. Wong enough for his orthodontic services. I just got my braces removed and couldn't be more pleased with the results. Great work! read more

I don't normally write reviews, and I have decided to wait a very long time into the near completion of my kids orthodontics care to do so. That way, I can give a true, honest, and accurate review of Dr. Derek Wong's office. My daughter was a preschooler who fell down the slide face first and knocked her front tooth upwards into her gums. Like any parent, we scrambled all around town seeking consultation. We stepped foot into more ortho offices than we can count on both hands. Dr. Wong's office wasn't the largest or fanciest by any means, but it was clean and effiecient. As a result, he's able to pass his lower overhead cost as savings to his patients. His office was the least pretentious one, and their prices were pretty fair compared to all others around the area. Nonetheless, his office was also the most welcoming and warm one we encountered, which would reflect through the years we have spent with them for our kids oral care. The consultation was quick, and so were the many office visits. There have been offices we stepped foot into, and it felt like we spent the entire day waiting. But not at Dr. Wond's office. If you care about having quick in and out visits, this is the place to go. As our kids are nearing the completion of their orthodontics care, we can clearly see results. That's what anyone should be looking for in braces. Dr. Wong and his staff are very personable and know everyone who steps foot thru their doors. They make sure you feel like family, which is a plus in my books. If I can give 6 stars in my review, I would do just that. It has been a very pleasant experience having Dr. Wong as our kids' orthodontist. My two teenagers always leave his office without mopping and groaning, and only with smailes. In teen language, that is a clear sign of approval. I am sure Dr. Wong has wondered "how come this family never leaves me a review?" But as we all know, reviews come best when they come in due time with honesty and true appreciation. My son Evan still has a little more time behind bars, but my daughter Kira is due to be released soon to make her debut. We can't wait till she's free. I bet she can't wait either. Yes we have been with and known Dr. Wongs office since my daughter was in preschool, to their teenage years now. So you know my review is one that has been brewing from the bottom of our hearts. We highly recommend and would refer anyone to Dr. Wong's office. And as everyone knows, a referral is the highest form of appreciation. Behind the mask, Dr. Wong is a practical perfectionist, and that's what we all need in a orthodontist. read more

Dr.Wong was referred to me by my dentist. Two of my kids had braces and my husband had Invisalign done at his clinic. I have to say that Dr. Wong has been a really good orthodontist. My family really likes him, as he is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. His clinic is clean and nice. The staff is friendly and helpful. His prices are reasonable. I highly recommend him. read more

Excellent care from Dr.Wong. He's honest and trustworthy very knowledgeable and professional about orthodontics

I brought my 15 yo for an evaluation for braces. This is a no frills very conservative looking office but the front desk and Dr. Wong couldn't be any more professional, kind and knowledgeable! We just had the consultation, which came with a complementary x-ray. They are fast and accommodating, great bedside manners from Dr. Wong. He's young and innovative and I can tell he really cares for his clients. The place is clean and efficient. Not to mention, they are the most reasonably priced in the 626, I know I've checked, lol! I would and have recommended Wong Orthodontist to all my friends. Thank you Dr. Wong! read more

To be honest, at first I was quote on quote 'ortho-shopping' and I was skeptical about which orthodontist to choose but I'm glad that I made the decision of continuing my journey of getting straight teeth with Dr.Wong. All his staff are super friendly, great smiles at first impression, and accommodate with your needs. If you were to have any concerns you can always rely on him and his staff to explain everything to you with detail. So far, I'm on my second month of having braces and I already see significant improvement ! I will continue on adding more updates in the future as my journey of getting that perfect smile continues ! read more

Derek Wong, DDS MS - Wong Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Alhambra, California

I came here for consultation 2 months ago, and finally decided to get my braces done with Dr. Wong today. Dr. Wong is very knowledgeable, professional and kind; his staff are also very friendly. I went to another orthodontist for consultation before, but I trust Dr. Wong the most. On my consultation day, the office staff took x-ray on me; Dr. Wong explained to me in detail what my teeth's issue is and gave me honest opinions on what I should do. After 2 months of consideration, I finally decided to start my braces process with Dr. Wong today. I was so nervous before I came to the office, because I was still not sure if I made the right decision to get braces as an adult. However, once I got into Dr. Wong's office and saw how professional Dr. Wong and his staff are, all my anxiety was gone. They guided me step by step: the ladies in front desk explained to me very well what the braces processes(what kind of things they will do on me), and how the monthly payment works. Then Gladys and Dr. Wong started to put the metals and rubber band on my teeth. They are very efficient and professional; the process was quick and easy. Gladys also guides me through patiently how to brush my teeth to keep my teeth clean with braces on. Now, I just need to get my extraction done with my own dental office. Then I will come back to get wires on. It's very important to find an orthodontist that you can trust; Dr. Wong and his staff are very professional and caring. I am glad I found them. P.S.: My friend and her brother got their braces done with Dr. Wong, and they are happy with their result. I am looking forward to have beautiful teeth as well! read more

I had a great experience getting my orthodontic treatment done with Dr. Wong and the staff. The process was smooth and easy. I just got my braces removed today. I am very happy with the results. read more

Dr. Wong is a very patient and kind Orthodontist. My daughter is currently a patient here, and her teeth look so good already. Front office is great and friendly, always get a convenient appointment and the office is clean, parking is easy. I am very happy I chose Dr. Wong over the other recommended Dr.'s in the area. Prices are comparable but Dr. Wong has better credentials, so make sure you know if you're paying for their fancy zip code rent or for their expertise. read more

Really loved the entire staff here. Everyone was friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend!

Dr Wong and his staff made my Invisalign experience easy and painless! They answered all of my questions, were flexible in rescheduling me as needed and most importantly gave extremely knowledgeable and well executed dental care. I also always felt welcome at his offices. Highly recommend! read more

When I first got braces over 15 years ago I never thought I'd be getting them again, Invisalign this time, but here we are. When I met with Dr. Wong for my initial consultation he was professional, polite and extremely knowledgeable. From my X-rays he was able to determine that I previously had a jaw expander and all other work done without being informed or having access to my dental records. After my consultation I was sold by his level of expertise. Fast forward to almost three years later, for failure on my part to wear my trays more diligently, and I'm extremely happy with the results. My teeth are far straighter than I could have imagined and my overbite is almost nonexistent all thanks to Dr. Wong. I would have been ecstatic if I was done with my treatment months ago as I think my teeth are great, but Dr. Wong has kept me and my teeth hostage because he wants perfection. If Dr. Wong was my first orthodontist then I probably wouldn't need to straighten my teeth once again due to a less qualified orthodontist. His prices are higher than other orthodontists I was quoted by but he is worth every penny and then some. His staff is absolutely wonderful and every time I visit, despite my post work exhaustion, they genuinely want to know how I'm doing, how I've been and follow up from our last conversations from months ago. read more

I never thought I would be happy about getting braces, as an adult patient, I was really nervous about the process. I am relieved my coworker referred me. During the (free) consultation, I received information about the ortho options and it was easy to understand. Dr. Wong was clear and honest about his recommendations for my case, and I appreciated that he was direct and also took the time to address any issues I had. I am 13 months into my treatment, and I am really happy with the results so far. Financially, I think the practice provides flexible options for payment. My regular visits are easy and I actually look forward to them. I think I must have really thought braces would be a nightmare (I've heard bad stories), but it's actually been the opposite. Maria, Lupe and Gladys are amazing! They make each visit feel comfortable and easy. They are very organized and provide great service. I'm looking forward to bringing my kids when they're ready - I know they will be in great hands! Can't say enough good things! read more

I was on a metal braces treatment plan for a little over two years, but Dr. Wong and his staff made it a really smooth journey! From our first consultation, Dr. Wong had been very patient, empathetic, and informative every step of the way. Treating an adult with an underbite/cross-bite comes with a some risks. I especially appreciate his honesty and clarity when he went over the outcomes of each possible treatment with me. Thankfully, we were able to go with the least invasive, yet successful plan. Now equipped with plastic retainers, I have never been more comfortable with my smile! Each visit was very efficient. Throughout this entire time, Dr. Wong's staff has been nothing but cordial, and courteous. Each appointment was easy to set up; they also send reminders a few days before each one. Their diligence to having a safe environment really shows through all their extra precautions in response to this pandemic (e.g. limiting the number of people in the room, adding extra partitions, temperature checks, and symptom surveys). I highly recommend Wong Orthodontics for your braces needs! read more

Amazing experience! My daughter came Dr. Wong about 2 years ago. Front desk is so friendly and helpful. Dr. explains every little detail as to what is being done and makes my little ones feel at ease. My daughter just got her braces taken off and now my son got his put on. I would recommend Dr. Wong 1000%. read more

This review is long overdue. Dr. Wong and his entire staff are fantastic! Dr. Wong did braces for both my kids. He and his team are very knowledgeable, professional, kind, and patient, which is very important when dealing with young kids. Anytime we had an issue, they were very accommodating and did everything they could to help us. When my daughter first needed braces, we consulted with three different orthodontists and chose Dr. Wong because he had the best price and was the most knowledgeable. We are so happy we did because we had a great experience with my daughter's braces and decided to stick with Dr. Wong for my son's braces, too. I highly recommend them and have recommended them to all my friends. read more
