Itâs probably not every day that you hear a native New Yorker say that heâs kindred spirits with a dentist who was born in Korea, but thatâs the way Iâfeel about Dr. Daniel Hwang, DDS, of Pasco Dental, located in the Wesley Chapel Executive Center on S.R. 54, a little more than a mile east of Bruce B. Downs (BBD)âBlvd.
(Note-New Tampa residents who live north of I-75 are only 10-15 minutes from Pasco Dental.)
Although he was born in Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Hwang was raised in Mt. Vernon, VA, and moved to Brooklyn, NY, for middle school and Queens, NY, for high school. He received both his Bachelorâs degree (in 1987) and his DDS degree (in 1991) from prestigious Columbia University in Manhattan and spent twelve years âlearning the ropes of the dental businessâ with his brother, who had a thriving dental practice in Ft. Lee, NJ. Dr. Hwang then began opening his own chain of Price Dental offices in Flushing, Queens; Plainview, Long Island; Manhattan; Brooklyn; and Ft. Lee and Bergen Township, NJ.
