Dr. Wan has a passion for dentistry, and when asked where this passion was cultivated, she states, “Growing up in Ann Arbor, MI, I was inspired to begin my wire-bending journey when I ventured to recreate a pair of wire sculpture earrings that I had set my eyes on at the annual summer art fair.” That simple introduction led to a career that I am immensely passionate about – the perfect blend of personal and professional pursuits. “Today, I am lucky to be able to give patients smiles, through Orthodontics, by combining my passions for patient-care, science, engineering, and art.”
After graduating from MIT, Dr. Wan received her Dental Degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. She received her Orthodontic Certificate from the University of Washington.
Dr. Wan says, “In my spare time I enjoy trying new recipes and honing my photography skills on my three best four-legged models (my Samoyed, Monty; my Bernedoodle, Riley; and my Shepadoodle, Teddy).
