Meet Dr. Justin Ngo
Professional Life
Dr. Ngo earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Millersville University, followed by a Doctorate of Dental Medicine at Temple University. He later completed a General Practice Residency at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital, where he gained invaluable exposure to a broad spectrum of dental procedures, allowing him to refine his skills and deepen his understanding of patient care. This hands-on experience was instrumental in shaping his approach to dentistry, enabling him to provide high-quality care tailored to each patient’s needs.
Dr. Ngo is also committed to continuing education, taking courses annually to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in dentistry. This ongoing learning enables him to continually improve his knowledge and skills, ensuring that he can provide the best possible care to patients.
As a dentist, Dr. Ngo views himself not just as a provider of dental care but as an advocate for his patients’ overall oral health. He believes that informed patients make the best decisions about their treatment, which is why he takes the time to educate each individual on the various options available. By clearly explaining the benefits and potential outcomes of different treatments, he empowers patients to choose the path that best aligns with their personal goals and long-term health.
Personal Life
Dr. Ngo grew up in Lancaster, PA, as the child of refugees who immigrated to the U.S. to escape the genocide in Cambodia. From a young age, he worked alongside his parents in their various businesses—whether it was in the family’s beer store, Chinese restaurant, motel, or managing rental properties. While he didn’t fully appreciate it at the time, these experiences shaped his character, instilling the values of hard work, perseverance, and teamwork that have been crucial in his professional career.
Dr. Ngo’s love for exploration has taken him around the world, traveling to various countries across Asia and Europe, where he enjoys immersing himself in different cultures and cuisines. An adventurous eater, he relies heavily on the TikTok algorithm for inspiration in his pursuit of trying new foods, restaurants, and experiences with his wife, Chen.
In his free time, he enjoys working out with my family and friends, challenging each other physically, whether it’s in the gym, working on his max bench—currently at 385 lbs.—or exploring new activities like long-distance biking and pickleball. These pursuits keep him grounded and continually striving for growth.
