Dr. Debbie Yim brings a unique blend of passion, expertise, and personal touch to pediatric dentistry. Growing up in Chicago with a dentist mother, Dr. Yim's journey into the field was shaped by early experiences in her family's dental practice. From helping sterilize instruments to setting up trays, she developed a hands-on approach and meticulous attention to detail that would later define her career.
Dr. Yim's educational path led her to Tulane University, where she earned a B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology with minors in French and Business.

After graduating, Dr. Yim completed her postgraduate training at Louisiana State University School of Dentistry, becoming a board-certified pediatric dentist in 2019. Her commitment to excellence and continuous learning has driven her to maintain this certification ever since.
With over six years of experience as an associate in various practices, Dr. Yim has now embarked on an exciting new chapter by opening her own practice.

She excels at helping her patients overcome these anxieties, teaching them valuable life lessons about facing challenges. Her goal is to make each visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, fostering a lifelong appreciation for oral health.
