Today, she most enjoys treating oral caries and disease, while also restoring smiles that help patients regain their confidence! As a general dentist, Dr. Cho loves the opportunity to provide oral care for everyone - from six-month-old patients visiting the dentist for the first time to 91 years old grandparents who need a check-up, Dr. Cho wants to ensure your family's dental care is her top priority!

In her free time, Dr. Cho likes to explore local parks and playgrounds with her kids. She is also very excited to try new restaurants in North Dallas because it has so much to offer!
