Diana—Dental Assistant

My name is Diana. I was born in Gilroy Ca and relocated to San Francisco in 2015. Being Dr Wong’s assistant has grown my passion for the dental field and I am delighted to be part of Dr. Wong’ team. I am looking forward to meeting you on your next dental visit.

Jolene—Receptionist

My name is Jolene. I come from a background of early childhood education. I’ve taught and cared for children from the ages of infant up to 12 years old. I worked in the early childhood education field for almost two decades before joining Dr. Samuel Wong’s dental practice as the patient care coordinator. Through my experience in the early childhood education field, I know how important it is to have great customer service and to give great care. As an educator, I strived to go above and beyond for the children and that’s what I intend to do here in Dr. Wong’s dental office. I intend to strive to go above and beyond for every patient that comes through our office, the same way I have for the children that were in my care. When I’m not greeting patients throughout the week, I am usually spending quality time with my Goddaughter or enjoying a good book, I am a huge bookworm! Before Covid, I enjoyed going on hikes to breathe in the fresh air, but lately I’ve been very much a homebody and enjoy spending time by myself. I am here to serve the community with great dignity as I continue to learn my way through the inner workings of a dental office.
