Dr. Christopher Yoo

Dr. Christopher Yoo received his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California, Irvine, and his DMD from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Yoo has worked as an associate dentist since 2017. In 2024, he purchased the Whittier dental office, now known as Karis Family Dental, which has served the community for over 30 years. 

Dr. Yoo is committed to carrying on the tradition of excellence started by his predecessor and loves getting to know his patients on a personal basis. He also believes in providing patients with the highest standard of care that does not compromise the patient's overall comfort, expectations, and desires for their smiles and dental health. 

Being an excellent dentist means a lot to Dr. Yoo. He appreciates that he is able to provide care, especially for something that impacts people daily. We need our teeth to eat, speak properly, and maintain our overall aesthetics. Therefore, being able to provide care to uphold these very important tenets of life has developed into a great passion of his.

Outside of the dental office, Dr. Yoo loves sports! He enjoys playing basketball and tennis and has recently been learning jiu-jitsu. He dabbles in baking and cooking and enjoys serving in his church community. He's currently serving as a youth group leader at his church.

A fun fact people may not know about Dr. Yoo is that he's a die-hard movie fan. He's watched a wide range of movies, including classics, and his list of "must-watch" movies continues to grow! If anyone has any recommendations, he would love them!
