A Message from Dr. Serene Yu

Aug 21, 2020

Dear valued patients:

Over the last few months, our office installed a new roof top HVAC unit, and will be making structural changes (putting in walls and doors) and getting air purifiers for each treatment room. I am hopeful that our office will continue to provide efficient and valuable dental care to you and your family.

I hope that with a group of dedicated staff and Dr. Palleck and myself, we can now provide more care and service to more patients.

Thank you for your continuous trust and support.

I look forward to seeing you soon.



Sincerely,

Serene Yu, DDS

Carole

Hi! Since Terri had decided to semi-retire, I am the newest addition at Rideauview Mall Family Dentistry. I am thrilled to be joining such a wonderful group of professionals. I started my dental career as a certified level 2 dental assistant for the first six years. Then, six years ago, I decided to move to the administrative aspect of dentistry. I am very capable of helping you with your insurance claims and answering any questions you might have. In addition, I love that I can have a positive impact on a patient’s experience at our office. In my spare time, I keep busy with my three children. We enjoy being outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. I am truly blessed to get to know you and your families. I look forward to meeting you all.
