Dr. Fong earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the University of British Columbia in 1993. With over three decades of experience, she has built a strong foundation in general dentistry, with particular interest in periodontics and cosmetic dentistry. She has further refined her skills through participation in two Crown and Bridge Study Clubs and as a past member of the Vancouver Perio-Prosth Study Club.
Deeply committed to giving back, Dr. Fong has volunteered her dental expertise in underserved communities, including outreach missions to Costa Rica and, more recently, Guatemala. Closer to home, she has shared her knowledge by speaking to preschool and elementary school students about oral health, fostering early awareness and prevention.
Beginning in the fall of 2025, Dr. Fong will be joining the UBC Dental School as a part-time clinical instructor, where she looks forward to mentoring the next generation of dental professionals.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Fong leads an active lifestyle and enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters. She is passionate about outdoor activities—particularly pickleball and cycling. A familiar and trusted presence at the Hornby office for over 30 years, Dr. Fong is known for her compassionate care, dedication to her patients, and continuous pursuit of clinical excellence.
