Katie Yoo Passman, DDS, MS is a graduate of Harvard University with an AB with honors in Economics. After a career in finance, she discovered that her true passion lay in working with people and creating beautiful smiles for them. She also wanted to follow in the footsteps of her older brother, Dr. Daniel Yoo. To this end, Dr. Passman enrolled at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, where she earned both her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and her Master of Science in Orthodontics (MS) degrees.

At Columbia, Dr. Passman was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Dental Society, named Dean’s Scholar, and received the Class Committee Award conferred to the top 10% of the class for academic excellence. She regularly participated in the American Dental Association’s Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) program and also performed pro bono dental work for orphans in Cambodia.

Dr. Passman is trained in a wide variety of orthodontic methods ranging from classical techniques to modern, cutting-edge, technologies like InvisalignTM, lingual braces, and temporary anchorage devices. She is a firm believer in lifelong learning and keeps abreast of the latest research in her field while constantly striving to provide her patients with the safest, evidence-based treatments.

As a classically trained pianist, Dr. Passman’s other great passion is music. You are quite likely to find her at concerts often in the company of her daughter, herself a budding pianist.

Dr. Passman loves to spend time with her husband and her three young children.
