Dr. Terrence Lee Fong, DDS

Dr. Terrence Fong has proudly served the Temple City community as an orthodontist for over 25 years. In that time, he has given beautiful smiles to thousands of patients.
He has not always been an orthodontist, however. After graduating from University of the Pacific’s Pharmacy program as a young man, he worked as a pharmacist for several years before deciding to apply to dental school.
When he was accepted to Georgetown University’s distinguished program, he and his beautiful wife moved to Washington, D.C. He graduated at the top of his dental class, and was elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, a selective honor society based on exceptional academic achievement, leadership, and character.
Following dental school, Dr. Fong decided to apply to the competitive specialty of Orthodontics, to which only a fraction of dental school graduates are admitted. Several prestigious orthodontic programs offered Dr. Fong positions in their elite classes of 4, and he chose to return to Los Angeles …to join the Trojan family. He matriculated at the University of Southern California, and earned his Certificate in Orthodontics after 2 more years of specialized training.
Upon graduation, he and his wife welcomed their first child into the world, and he joined the practice that has given him so many wonderful years in the profession. By the time he became owner of the practice, their second child was on his way.
Now his daughter, Courtney, is an orthodontist practicing in New York, and his son, Garrett, is in his second year of orthodontic residency at USC. They each received their D.M.D. degrees from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, in 2004 and 2009, respectively.
