Mr Ji Yoo,

Dr. Ji’s journey to dentistry is as heartfelt as it is inspiring. Born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised between Korea, the Philippines, and the United States, Dr. Ji brings a rich cultural perspective and deep compassion to her work. After settling in Alabama over a decade ago, she quickly came to love the Southern warmth and community spirit that now feels like home. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, followed by her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) in Florida. But her passion for dentistry started long before graduation. As a young volunteer on mission trips—including a life-changing experience providing dental care in the Philippines—Dr. Ji saw firsthand how a simple act of care could brighten someone’s life. That’s when she knew dentistry was her calling. Dr. Ji sees dentistry as the perfect blend of science, artistry, and heart. She believes that every smile has a story, and she takes the time to listen to each one. Her patients often say they feel genuinely seen and cared for in her chair—something she considers the highest compliment. Whether she’s easing someone’s dental anxiety, restoring confidence through a smile makeover, or simply making a child laugh during their first visit, Dr. Ji is committed to creating a space where people feel safe, valued, and understood. When she’s not in the office, you’ll likely find Dr. Ji at her piano, playing music for her church or just for fun. She’s a proud foodie, an avid traveler, and cherishes quality time with family and friends—especially over a good cup of coffee and lots of laughter.
