"The clinic is very welcoming and offers flexible availability, which makes scheduling easy. I was warmly greeted by Dr. Ung at the front desk and was able to begin treatment right away. Dr. Ung was incredibly kind and took the time to patiently explain everything to me, including proper flossing techniques.When I asked her about getting an electric toothbrush, she generously gave me a new one as a gift, which I truly appreciated. What stood out most to me was the personal care and attention, as well as the fact that it is a woman-owned practice.I highly recommend supporting this clinic!"
"I had to get an infected wisdom tooth pulled on the spot and Dr pulled it out effortlessly and put me at ease..7 days post extraction no dry socket ...Thx Doc...this is my go to moving forward... was able to get an appointment same day I called ....awesome Dentist !!!"
"I had my first appointment here as a new patient and had such a great experience. I am very particular after having a history of dental work. I was thorough in my search to find a new dentist. Dr. Lady Ung was incredibly thorough and took her time explaining everything in detail. I especially appreciated how much time she spent discussing hygiene and prevention. It didn’t feel rushed at all. I left feeling informed, comfortable, and confident about my dental health with a plan in place moving forward. Additionally, she was very transparent about price and I was able to discuss and make discussions for whitening based on that. So happy I found this practice!"
"Very professional, friendly and kind. The place is clean and convenient. I will be going there for dental work, may be convincing my family to do the same."
"I had a great experience as a first time patient. Dr. Lady Ung was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided excellent care. She explained treatment options very clearly - and helped me feel at ease during each procedure. I'm looking forward to future appointments and would highly recommend this practice to others"
"Great experience on a deep clean pre surgery…. Very Professional with the work received , and in quick order ……. Definitely my new Dentist !"
"Tooth broke vertically and need removal. Next day in dental chair.Removal, bone replacement, stitches and 3 weeks later very happy. Thank you."
"The building was clean and welcoming, the dentists were friendly and kind. They listened to my concerns and would ask me if I had any questions throughout my time there. Music was a good distraction, they have it at a low volume so that you can hear when the dentist is speaking."
"Very efficient!"
"I’ve been to UMG Family Dentistry a few times now for cleaning, filling, and extractions. Safe to say I’ve covered most of the bases for the different types of care you can expect to receive when you visit. Lady Ung has been the one to take care of me during my visits and it’s always been a great experience.Let’s start with my semi annual routine cleaning. You can expect attention to detail where you do not feel as if you’re just being rushed out of there. No shaming here if you haven’t been as diligent in your oral hygiene, they’ll let you know what your situation looks like and what you should do in the future. No need to be concerned about visiting the dentist for the first time in a long time.On to my very unexpected filling. My crown broke very suddenly one day and after speaking with them, they were able to fit me into the schedule promptly with a time that worked for me. Scheduling is usually a hassle trying to find a time that works for you without having to move the rest of your life around, but I was able to go in on a Saturday morning and get that taken care of. The filling was a painless process, I was in and out pretty quickly. She took an xray to just get a better look at my situation which then led to another visit because of an infection that was found at the root of the tooth that needed the filling.Finally on to my extraction that needed to be done. Once again we were able to work out a date and time that best fit my schedule and I was seen at my scheduled time (isn’t it a pain when you have an appointment, but you aren’t seen until much later?). Extractions aren’t fun for anybody, but the entire process was very smooth. Local anesthesia hit all the right places so that I was good and numb to make the best of a bad situation. It was completed in a timely manner, got sutured up, and appointment to remove them scheduled for 2 weeks later.I know for a lot of people, going to the dentist hasn’t always been the best experience in the past. Oral health is something that gets neglected often for one reason or another, but please learn from me that preventative care is better than dealing with the aftermath. You’ll be treated with care and understanding here, if you’re looking for a new dentist, UMG Family Dentistry is there for you."

I just wanted to know what was going on so I could possibly be referred to oral surgery Monday or call my normal provider, but guess what the dentist had so much compassion and told me to wait that she would be able to my the wisdom tooth extraction for her last appointment today.

"Fantastic dentist and practice - Dr. Ung, is very personable and caring. She works with you on and listens to your concerns. My mother is 93 and looked like she needed three teeth pulled and get fitted for dentures. Once the doctor had a better view of her teeth she determined that she could save one with a crown. My mom was thrilled. She didn't have much pain and is recovering well. Waiting for the crown to come back and then mom can get scanned for her dentures. All of the staff are great and it is a very warm and inviting atmosphere at the office. Note, there is also urgent care and physical therapy services at the location."

"I have never had a better cleaning or cavity fill experience in my life! Lady is incredible. For the first time, I walked away from dental appointments 100% happy. Everything was explained very well to me, and aside from the initial numbing for fillings, everything else was essentially pain free. I didn't know that was even possible. I walked away with everything taken care of, and researched, well reasoned recommendations for maintenance and care going forward. And a big thank you to everyone else there who met with a smile :)."

"I am so glad Dr. Ung now has her own practice. I have been going to Dr. Ung for years and have followed her to whichever practice she has worked at. What makes Dr. Ung the best is she is kind and knowledgeable, but won’t make you feel bad when she explains issues with your teeth or different approaches or practices for you to have better oral health. I have been to other dentists that scold you or make you feel bad. Dr. Ung is the opposite. She explains the issues and consequences, but provides approaches to do better. She is a caring dentist that also has a gentle hand and tries to make the experience enjoyable. I have no worries when I have a dental appointment after seeing Dr. Ung. That is why I have followed her. She is that great of a dentist."
