Meet the Doctor

Dr. Hu has been practicing dentistry for nearly two decades. As a pediatric dentist, she shares her passion to provide the best care for children from their infancy through their high school years. She also specializes in children with developmental challenges such as ADHD, autism, Down Syndrome, and sensory processing disorders.

Dr. Hu understands that children can be nervous when it comes to visiting the dentist. She uses the "Tell-Show-Do” technique to explain things in a fun way. By approaching children with patience, understanding, and empathy, she helps provide a positive experience that gives them something to look forward to.

Most importantly, Dr. Hu strives to make sure that she, her staff, our patients, and their parents are all on the same page. We all work together to achieve optimal oral health as each child is unique. Our individualized approach to care planning reflects as such.
