Dr. Joan Yoo was born in Dallas Texas, but her family moved around a lot as a child, including South Carolina, South Korea, and Colorado. Dr. Yoo attended The Ohio State University for her undergraduate education, then received early admission into The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, graduating as one of the youngest in the Class of 2009. After graduating dental school, Dr. Yoo was part of a pilot program for an expedited post-doc training, working alongside a former OSU GPR director of 20+ years. The program was an excellent opportunity since the training offered 1-on-1 mentorship, took half the time of a conventional residency, and offered double the compensation. The scope of her training included managing Trauma/Infection/Emergency cases, extensive Oral Surgery (full mouth extractions with alveoplasty), and Endodontic cases (root canals). As a more seasoned dentist with more than a decade of experience in Private Practice, Dr. Yoo now focuses more on restorative treatment with an emphasis on Minimally Invasive Dentistry. She has extensive experience in Cosmetic cases, CAD/CAM technology, Full mouth reconstructive cases, Clear aligner therapy, Implant placements and restorations, etc. Dr. Yoo understands the power of Continuing Education and devotes much of her time to being a lifelong learner. Dr. Yoo is also known for her meticulous, fastidious attention to detail with an artist’s eye; and is a firm believer in the golden rule of “Do to others what you would have them do to you” and treats her patients as if they were her family. When she’s not practicing dentistry, Dr. Yoo enjoys spending time with her husband and three young children and serving at her church.
