Dr. Katherine Kieu

Orthodontist

Dr. Katherine Kieu earned her Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from UCLA. She then attended UCSF, receiving her DDS and completing her orthodontic residency at the University of Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, in 2009. She has worked with Pacific Coast Dental since 2020. As a board-certified orthodontist, she aims to help patients achieve healthy and beautiful smiles by straightening their teeth.

What Dr. Kieu enjoys about being an orthodontist is building relationships and friendships with the team while positively impacting her patients' lives. She helps make our Pacifica dental office a place where we treat every person who walks through the door like family.

Dr. Kieu also loves helping people become more confident versions of themselves as their smiles are transformed through orthodontic treatment. She entirely agrees with the expression, "when you're smilin', the whole world smiles with you."

In her spare time, Dr. Kieu enjoys reading, traveling, and trying new restaurants. She is also an aspiring children's book author. Another interesting detail about Dr. Kieu is that on her first and only fishing trip, she caught a leopard shark, which after a quick photo, she released back into the ocean.
