Lilia Yu, DDS
Dr. Lilia Yu is a skilled and compassionate pediatric dentist with a diverse background in dentistry. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Taipei Medical University School of Dentistry in Taiwan, where she practiced as a general dentist before furthering her expertise in pediatric dentistry. Dr. Yu completed her pediatric dental residency at Tufts University from 2017 to 2019, honing her skills in working with children and managing their unique dental needs.
After obtaining her DDS from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry in 2021, Dr. Yu made the decision to relocate to the Pacific Northwest to be closer to friends and family in Taiwan. Upon visiting several clinics, she was drawn to Acorn for its warm, welcoming environment and felt it was the perfect place to continue her career in pediatric dentistry.
Dr. Yu loves spending time with children, especially chatting with them to make their dental visits fun and less intimidating. She finds it incredibly rewarding to engage with her young patients, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. Watching them grow more confident with each visit—whether it’s through a laugh, a story, or simply making the experience enjoyable—is what drives her passion for pediatric dentistry.
Outside of work, Dr. Yu enjoys playing video games, a hobby that allows her to unwind and recharge. She’s excited to be part of a community where she can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of children.
