DR. KYONG CHOE

Kyong Choe, a periodontist, was inspired in his career choice by two brothers who also practice dentistry. The decision to specialize in periodontics was influenced by Dr. Sylvan Feldman and Dr. Bryan Fitzgerald, whom he met during his residency and, in 2007, Choe joined the practice founded by Feldman. That practice, known today as Feldman, Slevin, Hurwitz & Choe, offers comprehensive periodontal services, including treatment of gum disease and replacement of missing teeth. “We’ve been fortunate to have a growing practice between the three of us, and we all taught at the University of Maryland dental school,” says Choe. One key lesson Choe says he’s learned from Feldman: Do not accept anything short of excellence. “This has helped me tremendously in delivering the type of care I was trained to do.”
