Dr. Wonkyu Seo’s journey in dentistry began when he attended Rockhurst University in Kansas City, MO. He completed his doctorate in dental at New York University’s College of Dentistry in New York City — a school ranked #5 on SCImago Institutions Rankings’ of dental schools in the country.

Once he had the necessary tools and education under his belt, he began practicing as a general dentist in 2018. Throughout this career, Dr. Seo has placed making patients feel like family as his top priority. By creating special bonds, Dr. Seo can better diagnose and treat patients while giving you the advice you need for success.

Dr. Seo is a sports fanatic, particularly cheering for the LA Rams and LA Dodgers, though he’s never been a resident of the area. Sports and his dental career don’t compare to his love for his wife, though, whom he spends a great deal of time with when he’s not practicing dentistry. We can’t forget to mention the joy he gets when spending time with his Maltese pooch, Doobu!

"What an incredible experience! I came into to Summer Dental to see if they could fix my permanent crown that repeatedly fell out only days after installation by my old dentist. They instantly knew what to do, and a few days later, they reworked what was left from my old tooth and installed a brand new crown.
This is a huge thank you to Dr. Seo. I can now sleep easily knowing that I have a competent dentist. THANKS!"
