Dr. Ellen S. Oh

Dr. Oh’s passion in dentistry began when she first had her braces in her elementary school years. She had an orthognathic problem that was going to cause a protruded lower jaw. She was awestruck by how orthodontic treatment has prevented her from not only getting misaligned jaws but also from losing her confidence in smiling. From then, her passion to learn dentistry and giving beautiful smiles to those who are in need. Based on her experiences, she understands the concerns of her patients and is able to empathize with them.
