Dr. Huong Le, D.D.S. Chief Dental Officer, Asian Health Services
Dr. Le was recently featured in an American Dental Association article as part of a series that showcases and celebrates the diversity of career paths in dentistry.

Dr. Le went from helping out a community clinic once a week to leaving her hospital job and devoting her time and skills to a community clinic where she stayed for 14 years and in the last 19 years, Dr. Le has served as Chief Dental Officer of Asian Health Services, overseeing six dental sites that serve underserved and uninsured patients. “That was about 33 years ago,” Dr. Le said. “Once I started at the community clinic, I felt that commitment to the community and the rest is history.”
