Dr. Jae-Woong Choi
My goal of treatment is to provide patient comfort, high-quality dental care, and long-term success. I like practicing all fields of dentistry, not only esthetics and restorative dental works but dental surgeries and pain control of patients, and trying to communicate well with patients to meet their needs and different levels of expectations.
I keep myself updated and learn advanced procedures, taking many seminars and live surgery courses.
I grew up in South Korea and served in the Navy there. Then, I went to college in NYC, studied biology, and attended UCSF dental school.
Upon completing dental school, I came to Texas to start a dental practice.
I like playing golf and working out in the gym during my spare time. I just became a baby girl’s father and expect a new journey in my life.

I want to make sure that every patient leaves my office feeling happy, informed, and confident about their dental health.
My Passion
I am a major fan of live concerts; I love nothing more than feeling the energy of the crowd and getting lost in the music!

Lastly, I will always say yes to a night out with close friends to try new activities or restaurants.
