After finishing high school, I went back to my home country to pursue my dream of becoming a dentist. I studied at Santa Maria University and got my first dental diploma. Sadly, the political and economical situation of my country started to go downhill, violence reached its peak level at a Pacific protest walk, and that was the breaking point for me. I decided to pursue a future in the U.S. and made my way to dental school for the second time! I completed my second dental diploma at Nova Southeastern University in Florida with the title of Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). Completing two degrees in dentistry has made me realize along the way how much it means to me. I love what I do with all my heart mainly because it helps me make peoples lives better somehow. There is no greater feeling than knowing you took a patient out of pain or made them more self-confident about their smile. A smile is the window to your soul.
What I enjoy most about dentistry is how it is very hands-on and always changing. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors (especially golfing) and anything that has to do with sports. For these reasons, Farmington really appealed to me, and I look forward to being involved in the community.
Dr. Do immigrated to America from Vietnam at the age of 11 but originally grew up in Vietnam with his family. Dr. Do completed his bachelors degree in Biology from the University of Houston and obtained his DDS degree from New York University College of Dentistry. It was here at New York University College of Dentistry where Dr. Do received specialized training from specialists in oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics and pediatrics.
Dr. Do completed rotations and volunteered in hospitals, homeless shelters and underserved communities throughout the five boroughs of New York City, in which he gained an appreciation working on patients with special needs and giving back to the community.

I have been working as a dentist both in South Korea and the United State for more than 18 years which is composed of General dentistry, Prosthodontics & Implant, Public health dentistry and Pediatric dentistry. I have been married for 16 years and have a teenage son. I spend my spare time with my family camping, skiing and traveling. I believe this combined experience is a solid foundation for the quality and customized dental service in KidsKare.
