Vietnamese-language endodontic care — call ahead for a bilingual shift

Medically reviewed by Dr. Jason Kung, DDS, MS · Specialist Endodontist · UCLA DDS · OHSU MS

A Vietnamese-speaking team member is part of our Sunnyvale staff on a part-time schedule. Call (669) 234-2354 and tell the front desk you'd like a Vietnamese-language appointment — we will book you on a shift when our bilingual team member is in, so reception, history-taking, informed consent, and post-op instructions can happen in Vietnamese. Dr. Kung is the specialist endodontist; he speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and our bilingual team member bridges the conversation for Vietnamese-speaking patients and families.

Tiếng Việt khi đặt trước

Bilingual team member on a part-time schedule — book ahead to match a Vietnamese-language shift.

Specialist training

Dr. Kung — UCLA DDS, OHSU MS in Endodontics, AAE member. Practice limited entirely to endodontics.

Family-friendly visits

Bring elderly parents — clinical decisions are explained in Vietnamese, not through a child translating mid-appointment.

An honest note on availability: our Vietnamese-speaking team member is in the office part-time, not every shift. If you walk in without calling, there is a real chance no Vietnamese speaker is on duty that hour. A phone call ahead lets us book your visit on the right shift — and we will be transparent about which days work.

Câu hỏi thường gặp — Common questions

Is there a Vietnamese-speaking endodontist in the South Bay?

A Vietnamese-speaking team member is available at Silicon Valley Endodontics in Sunnyvale on a part-time schedule. We can do reception, history-taking, informed-consent discussion, and post-operative instructions in Vietnamese when scheduled in advance. Call (669) 234-2354 and let the front desk know you would like a Vietnamese-language appointment so we can match you to a shift when our Vietnamese-speaking team member is in the office.

Tôi có thể đặt lịch hẹn bằng tiếng Việt không?

Có. Vui lòng gọi (669) 234-2354 và cho nhân viên lễ tân biết bạn muốn nói chuyện bằng tiếng Việt. Chúng tôi sẽ sắp xếp cuộc hẹn của bạn vào ca có nhân viên nói tiếng Việt để bạn có thể thảo luận về chẩn đoán, lựa chọn điều trị, hình ảnh CBCT và hướng dẫn chăm sóc sau điều trị bằng tiếng Việt. Bác sĩ Kung là chuyên gia nội nha và sẽ giải thích các lựa chọn lâm sàng bằng tiếng Anh; nhân viên song ngữ sẽ giúp đảm bảo bạn hiểu rõ mọi quyết định.

Does Dr. Kung speak Vietnamese?

No — Dr. Kung is the specialist endodontist and speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Our Vietnamese-language support comes from a bilingual team member who handles communication with Vietnamese-speaking patients so the clinical conversation is never lost in translation. For families with an elderly relative who is most comfortable in Vietnamese, this is often more important than the doctor themselves speaking the language — the patient gets time, patience, and accuracy on their own terms.

Which Bay Area cities do you commonly serve in Vietnamese?

We see Vietnamese-speaking patients from San Jose (especially Berryessa, East San Jose, and the Tully Road / Story Road corridor), Milpitas, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Fremont, and the broader South Bay. The office is at 1565 Hollenbeck Avenue in Sunnyvale, with free parking and direct access from US-101 and I-880.

What if my appointment is urgent and the Vietnamese-speaking staff isn't in that day?

We will not delay urgent care to wait for a language match. If you are in pain or have a dental emergency, come in — Dr. Kung will treat you in English (and through family translation if you have a relative present), and we will schedule any follow-up visits during a Vietnamese-language shift. Emergency care comes first; language accommodation is layered on top whenever the schedule allows.
