His goal is to pursue private practice after his one-year residency.

Vo graduated from the University of California, San Francisco in June 2018. He enjoys all aspects of general dentistry and is eager to apply his skills to help patients of WesternU We Care Dental. After finishing his residency, he is interested in being involved with community dentistry as well as private practice.

The WesternU We Care Dental Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency program, jointly sponsored with NYU Langone Dental Medicine, is a one-year postdoctoral certificate program in general dentistry. This residency program is specifically designed to provide advanced training in clinical dentistry and refine the skills necessary for the general dentist to provide comprehensive patient care for all population groups.

The WesternU practice was founded with the mission of providing high-quality care to a diverse patient base so that everyone can achieve optimal oral health. We Care Dental offers high-quality dental care for all, and is known for treating patients with respect and for meticulously diagnosing and treating a variety of dental issues.

Founded in 2009 by Marianne and Russell Benson, and originally staffed by volunteers using donated space and supplies, We Care Dental first incorporated WesternU dental faculty and students into its operations in 2011, and by 2016 had partnered with the University to open an expanded clinical facility. Residents, WesternU dental students, and full-time faculty provide overall clinical supervision to patients throughout the Coachella Valley with the assistance of highly trained staff.
