About William Kwon, D.D.S., M.D.

Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Kwon received his BS from the University of British Columbia and his dental degree from NYU, where he was inducted into the national dental honors society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. During his time at NYU, he completed externships at Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, UMich, and McGill.
