As an endodontist, Dr. Amy Yu aims to help root canal patients improve their quality of life and maintain their natural dentition through education and evidence-based care. She believes that healthcare decisions should be jointly made between a patient and their provider and be personalized for each unique individual.

After high school, she studied neurobiology at the University of Pennsylvania and graduated magna cum laude with distinction in biology. She earned her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine where she graduated magna cum laude, received the gold medal award for exceptional all-around scholastic achievement, and was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon.
