Why He Was Nominated:

Just one year after becoming an associate at Dental365, New York State’s largest dental provider, Dr. Ng became its chief dental officer thanks to his enthusiasm for both the practice and its patients. He incorporates the latest tech to help streamline digital workflows, and prizes honest patient communication.

Most Memorable Patient:

“The first one who fell asleep while in my chair. In any other setting I’d worry I was boring, but as a dentist, I took it as the ultimate compliment: I couldn’t be happier knowing that my patient felt comfortable enough to relax and doze off. I hope to bring that sense of ease to all the patients I treat.”

Impact of the Pandemic:

“It has forced the world into a new way of life in unpreceden­ted ways. While these are trying times of countless uncertainties and mandated closures of many things we have long depended on, it has been a great honor to continue working and serving my community.”

Something People Don’t Know:

“I had to do an emergency delivery of my son at home. It was at the crack of dawn on April 1, 2018. I thought my wife was playing an April Fool’s prank on me. That changed in about two seconds, when I saw my son’s head crowning! Needless to say, I have an even greater appreciation for our gynecologist now—and I’ll stay focused on my DDS training going forward.”
