I love creating beautiful smiles and faces that people will treasure for a lifetime! I find it extremely fulfilling to help my patients achieve a milestone worth celebrating, and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to transform their lives.
I also love to learn and stay up to date with the latest developments and techniques in the field of orthodontics. I want to take full advantage of what new technology has to offer, and utilize my knowledge to help my patients achieve the best treatment results while maximizing efficiency and comfort.
I was born in Taiwan and grew up in the Los Angeles area after spending a year in New York. I now live in Arcadia with my husband where he grew up and practices medicine. We are blessed to have two beautiful daughters. I enjoy art and photography, playing piano and going to Disneyland with our kids, and spending time with family and friends.
It is the greatest privilege to witness a persons self-confidence grow from something you created and I get to do that every day in orthodontics! Having been through braces myself, I can understand what my patients are going through and it is my goal to make orthodontics a fun, comfortable and enjoyable experience for all those seeking to improve their smile just as it was for me.
As a Texas native, I received my Bachelor of Science (BS) at The University of Texas at Austin and Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) at Baylor College of Dentistry. I moved to Los Angeles to complete my specialty training at the University of Southern California where I received my Certificate in Orthodontics along with a Master of Science in Craniofacial Biology (MS). It was during this time that I fell in love with sunny Southern California and decided to call it home.
I am engaged to my fianc Nicholas Jung, an anesthesiologist at Kaiser. When not practicing in the health professions, we enjoy going to the beach, traveling, and exploring new restaurants in Los Angeles.
I have worked in the dental field for more than 20 years and assist our doctors chairside and work in the lab. It is very rewarding to help our patients obtain the smile theyve always dreamed of and to see the confidence they gain as their treatment progresses. Our entire office goes above and beyond what our patients expect to make sure their experience with us is wonderful!
I am excited to work at our Arcadia Office, bea part of a great team, and learnall there is to know about orthodontics. We have the best equipment available, which makes our patientstreatment more effective and efficient. I enjoy the satisfaction of knowing I helped someone get a great smile and improve their self-esteem.
I assist Dr. Lee chairside and ensure prompt communication with our patients and their dentists to provide seamless comprehensive care. As our high-tech practice goes completely digital, I am also in charge of all electronic treatment records and files that keep our practice organized and efficient. I used to work for Clear Channel (KIIS FM) radio but decided to enter the orthodontic field because I enjoy meeting new faces and helping people transform their smiles with our awesome team!
My husband and I love to travel, and our three boys keep me quite busy with their after-school sports programs. We also have two tiny little dogs we spoil more than we spoil our kids. Come in and well chat about music, sports, or dogs!
Working in the orthodontic field sets the dental field high for me, due to it being the most fun and educational all in one. I have worked in the dental field now for 4 years and with Dr. Lee for the past year. What I do to obtain efficiency and productive work at her office is, work chair side with our doctors' and connect with our patients on a level of comfort and care. Not only do I work in the back but I expanded my job title to work on digital programs that process and connect with our labs, and provide us with the best quality of appliances for our patients. My favorite part of my job is seeing our patients learn about their new smile and joining our orthodontic family.
I am married to my best friend Michael. He and I live in Pomona Ca, and we love to spend quality-time and enjoy seeing our family and friends. Come in and let's talk about traveling and places to eat, I'm such a foodie fanatic.
As your Treatment Coordinator, I make sure your initial visit is a positive and informative one and I look forward to answering any questions about your treatment to ensure your entry into our orthodontic family is smooth and comfortable. I began working in the orthodontic field in 2006 and before that I was in the adoption field.
My commitment to the patients entire experience is evident from start to finish. I will explain the treatment plan that Dr. Lee designs for you, go over insurance coverage(s), as well as easy payment options. I love being a part of your beautiful smile!
I grew up in Baldwin Park, CA and graduated with a business degree. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, going to the gym, and reading non-fiction books. Working at Vivian Lee Orthodontics has been a fun and educational experience. Both Dr. Lee and Dr. Chong are wonderful orthodontists, who not only pay attention to detail but show genuine care for each and every one of their patients. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of this team and look forward to many more years of success with them.
