Born and raised in San Francisco, Dr. Dennis Song decided to practice in the city he grew up in to serve San Francisco, the Bay Area, and internationally. A graduate of Lowell High School, he completed his undergraduate work from the west coast’s first formal university, the University of San Francisco and went on to achieve his dental degree (DDS) from the University of California San Francisco.

For his specialty training to become an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, he completed his medical degree (MD) from the University of California Davis. He completed his internships and residency in General Surgery and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of California San Francisco.
