Dr. Joseph Yoo
Dr. Joseph Yoo studied engineering and received a Bachelor of Science from Seoul National University in Seoul, South Korea. His academic interest led him to study biology further and graduate from the University of Texas in Arlington with a Bachelor of Science.
Dr. Yoo experienced many aspects of dentistry working at a dental laboratory and a private dental implant company. His passion for dentistry grew, and he chose to be a dental clinician and graduated from University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry in Michigan with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery.
The reason he chose to be a dentist is that he felt compassion for many patients with their oral health issues, and he wanted to help them directly through his treatment. He loves to see their smiles restored functionally and aesthetically. He is also fluent in Korean.
As a husband and a father of three kids, he will treat each patient like he is treating his family: with a warm heart and gentle hands.
