Dr. Derek Zhao

Dr. Derek Zhao was born with a sunny disposition thanks to the lovely weather in Hawaii. He grew up in Shoreline and Bellevue and completed his Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Washington. Dr. Derek discovered a passion for treating children during a year of dental assisting and pursued that interest throughout dental school at NYU in New York City. He liked it so much there that he spent two more years completing his specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at NYU. Having had enough of the Big Apple, Dr. Derek is very happy to be back on the West Coast, where he spends his free time hiking, playing racket sports, and growing new plant babies with his wife. He is excited to meet new people and spread smiles all around. Dr. Derek believes that connecting with people of all ages takes building a trusting bond and having lots of laughs together.

Dr. Derek Zhao is available in our office weekly, on Tuesdays.
