Family Orthodontics: Carlingford

Dr Fong has a Bachelor of Science from Canada, a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Hong Kong and a Master of Dental Science from the University of Sydney. She is currently an Honorary Clinical Tutor at the University of Sydney.

Practising orthodontics has been her childhood dream ever since her first treatment at 7 years of age. She experienced first hand what a difference a proud smile can make. Dr Fong says it is an honour and privilege to be a part of this process for her patients and seeing the joy on their faces at the completion of their journey.

Dr Fong's weakness is her love for food and wine, so she goes running only because she needs to!
