He graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in biology with a minor in chemistry and mathematical sciences in 2008. He went on to receive his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 2012, and graduated at the top of his class.

Dr. Wong and his wife Jara have three children — Keenan, Vivian, and Claire — who keep him plenty busy! But he still makes time for video games, rock climbing, hiking, swimming, and skiing. Dr. Wong loves to have fun with his patients and it shows!
