    “Nicest dentist I’ve ever had”
    Dr Kuang at pro health dental in Howard Beach is the nicest dentist I’ve ever had. She is patient and explains things. I’ve been to many dentists before, but she is the only one who hasn’t pushed procedures until making sure it’s necessary. Highly recommended.

    I recently had an emergency appointment at Pro Health Dental, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the care I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The dentist took the time to explain the issue and the treatment options clearly, which put me at ease.
