Dr. Eugene Yang, or just Dr. Gene, founded our Casa Grande, AZ practice with his wife, Dr. Julie Yang. Born in the Philippines, Dr. Gene relocated to Superior, Arizona in 1970. He was accepted into the University of Arizonas two-year pre-dental program and then earned his dental degree from the University of the East in the Philippines.
Drs. Gene and Julie met and fell in love during dental school in the Philippines. They then married and returned to Arizona to practice dentistry in Tucson. In 1985, they established their roots in Casa Grande. The couple first opened their dental practice on Florence Boulevard and then constructed a 3,800-square-foot dental office on Cottonwood Lane in 1994. Today, the team at Yang and Horsley Dentistry welcomes patients from Casa Grande and nearby communities such as Coolidge, Florence, Toltec, Eloy, Arizona City, Anthem, Queen Creek, and Maricopa.
Although it has been over a decade since his passing, we miss Dr. Gene each and every day. He leaves a legacy of quality dental care, love for the Casa Grande area, commitment to patients and dental excellence, and compassion for his fellow humans.
Dr. Julie Yang is a native of the Philippines, spending her childhood and teenage years there. She earned her pre-doctorate and dental degree from the University of the East, meeting and marrying Dr. Gene Yang during this time.
The couple then returned to Arizona and began dentistry in Tucson. They established their roots in Casa Grande in 1985. Constructing the current office on Cottonwood Lane in 1994, Dr. Julie Yang now welcomes patients from Casa Grande and the surrounding area. Dr. Yang is committed to the local communitys dental needs and enjoys practicing dentistry with her daughter and son-in-law, Drs. Janelle and Phil Horsley.
