Dr. Chao’s Biography

Dr. Chao feels it is a great honor and privilege to treat the pediatric population, a job she does not take lightly. She treats each child as an individual and caters to their specific needs and comforts. She listens to her patients’ concerns, hoping to understand their preferences and motivations. It was refreshing, she says, to find Willamette Dental, a practice that shares in her values and belief that the patient’s well being is the leading priority in care. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring the Portland area with her family, especially the food scene, and cheering on our local women’s sports teams.
