Dr. Chu’s Biography

Dr. Wendy Chu is a meticulous and compassionate orthodontist dedicated to providing care that goes beyond just teeth—focusing on the whole patient. Known for her authenticity, patience, and dedication, Dr. Chu brings a thoughtful and evidence-based approach to every treatment plan.

Her path to dentistry was deeply personal. As a child, she feared dental visits and often felt judged instead of supported. That experience inspired her to become the kind of provider she once needed—one who listens, connects, and offers care with empathy. She was drawn to orthodontics for its transformative power, not just in smiles but in confidence and well-being.

Dr. Chu is especially proud of a case where a routine orthodontic exam helped uncover a pituitary tumor, reinforcing her belief in holistic care. At Willamette Dental, she found a professional home that values collaboration, integrity, and putting patients first.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find her exploring local trails, sipping coffee at new cafés, or recharging with a good routine. Whether in the outdoors or at work, Dr. Chu brings presence, curiosity, and genuine care to everything she does.

I liked how Dr. Chu wanted to meet me and go over my daughter's treatment. She was down to earth and made us feel confident leaving knowing we have someone that is going to take care of our questions and concerns.

Dr. Chu is fantastic! I love how thorough she was during the visit. Even though her recommendation will extend the time, I feel confident in her direction and she's doing what's best. The whole team seemed to work well with her, and the overall atmosphere in the office was great! It was a busy day, but everyone was hustling while still taking time to listen and explain. It made the whole visit feel personal and not rushed.

First time to meet Dr. Chu and was very impressed with her explanation of treatment. Monica handled the x-rays, the wire adjustment and bracket repair, and as always provided a very professional and friendly visit. I would recommend willamette Dental for a positive stress-free dental experience. A big thank you as always to everybody.

I really appreciate the orthodontist taking time to explain what they were going to do with Paisley and her teeth. Since it was a new orthodontist, they had to kind of start at square one. And so she was very thorough and we really appreciated it as parents.

Everyone was nice and helpful. The doctor took the time to actually look at my teeth/bite and address my concerns.
