Meet Dr. Yoonju Kim
Education & Experience
Dr. Kim graduated from University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering (yes, not a typical biology major!) She started her career at IBM and also worked at Accenture as a consultant. She went back to University of Illinois at Chicago dental school to fulfill her dream of becoming a dentist and graduated in 2008. Ever since then, she has been working as a general dentist in the city of Chicago.
Dentistry is no longer a profession without a deep understanding of the current technology. She is very familiar with both worlds and will be able to provide the best solution for our patients.
Personal Life
Dr. Kim was born in South Korea and moved to US when she was fifteen. She’s happily married with a beautiful daughter. She is 12 years old and an amazing gift for her family. Her view in life has completely changed after Olivia’s birth. As a mom, she wants to make sure it is a safe environment for her daughter, so she turned her eyes into organic & natural. This is how she became determined to bring the concept of eco-friendly dentistry into the practice as well.
She love travelling, snowboarding, and running, but she loves spending time with her daughter the most! She lives in Bucktown, so she’s so excited to live and work in the same neighborhood.
