Meet Dr. Katrina Lo
Dr. Katrina Lo was born in the Philippines and moved to California when she was young. She later earned her dental degree with honors from the University of Illinois in Chicago, where she built a strong foundation in comprehensive dental care and patient-centered treatment planning. After dental school, Dr. Lo gained experience practicing in several states, allowing her to work with patients of different backgrounds and needs while continuing to refine her clinical approach.
Over time, Dr. Lo decided to set down roots in Vancouver, Washington. She fell in love with the natural outdoors of the Pacific Northwest and the breathtaking view of Mt. Hood from the city, which ultimately cemented her decision to stay and build her practice and community here.
Dr. Lo often shares a simple belief that guides her daily work: “The best thing about dentistry is the people.” For her, dentistry is not just about teeth. It is about building trust, making patients feel safe, and helping individuals feel better about their health and their smiles.
A Patient-Focused Philosophy
Dr. Lo is passionate about dentistry because she loves helping people restore their smiles and protect their oral health. She treats her patients like family and enjoys learning more about them, from their dental goals to the everyday details that matter to their comfort.
Dr. Lo strives to create treatment plans centered around each patient’s values and priorities. She takes time to explain options clearly, answer questions, and help patients make confident decisions without pressure. Whether you are focused on prevention, improving your smile, or addressing a more complex concern, her goal is to deliver care that feels thoughtful and personalized.
Her approach is shaped by:
- Listening closely: Ensured by taking time to understand your concerns and goals.
- Clear explanations: Supported by walking you through options and next steps.
- Comfort-first care: Maintained with gentle technique and a calm chairside presence.
- Patient-centered planning: Guided by what matters most to you and your long-term health.
Continuing Education & Commitment To Excellence
To serve her patients better, Dr. Lo continually strengthens her skills through ongoing education and training. She attends continuing education courses regularly to stay current with modern techniques and evolving dental technology. She is also involved with professional organizations, including the American Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry, which support lifelong learning and high clinical standards.
By staying up to date with the latest technology and dental treatment options, Dr. Lo aims to provide care that is more precise, more efficient, and more comfortable for patients.
Life Outside The Office
Outside of work, Dr. Lo loves to travel, go hiking, spend time at the beach, and try out new restaurants. She adores her nieces and nephews and is very close to her family. She also enjoys baking, cooking, and creating DIY crafts and projects. Dr. Lo is thrilled to be a part of Vancouver and looks forward to building community with her fellow ‘Couve people.
