Im lucky to be in a profession in which I get to combine so many of my passions. I am able to use my skills to help improve the smiles and health of so many people. At the same time, Im getting to know them personally as they become part of the family here at W Dentistry! Knowing I'm a part of helping others feel great about their health and their smile can be immensely rewarding. I lovehow dentistry has the potential to drastically improve the way people feel about themselves. Many people dont expect this, and it is gratifying to see the positive changes that the care I provide can make for an individual. It is truly a pleasure to impove peoples lives, one smile at a time. -Kari C. Woo DDS

Our attentive dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
I enjoy building lasting relationships with each patient and their family. Every patient brings their own energy and happiness to our office, and I love learning who they are. Hearing their stories and sharing laughter creates a great environment. I ensure a smooth flow in the practice, so our team is able to focus on our patients care. I handle our marketing and outreach and love telling people about the services we offer. I also work with patients to make financial arrangements and help them get the most from their insurance as well as coordinate scheduling for all of our patients.
Im originally from Alaska and love going back to visit with family. My husband Rich and I settled in Issaquah in 2001 and have two sons, Connor and Gavin. In my free time, I love being with my family including our 2 cats, Nellie and Tito as well as cooking and traveling.
Im a Washington native and received my Dental Hygiene degree fromYakima Community College. I have also been a dental hygienist in Australia where most of my family still resides. My husband Matthew and I have 2 lovely children, Hannah and Hunter, as well as our fluff ball Paha. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, working out, eating good food, and reading books.
I help our patients achieve their optimal oral health with thorough dental cleanings and education that is personalized to their individual needs and preferences. I love meeting new people and growing with my existing patients. I began working with Dr. Woos team in 2018, and love that we emphasize making the patient experience one where they feel welcome and encouraged.
I assist Dr. Woo chairside in her restorative and surgical procedures, working together to provide our patients with the best care and experience possible. I also help manage the supplies, materials, and any other clinical needs. At W Dentistry we are a team and each member is willing to help each other regardless of their position.
