Dr Yuen Zhu has been a practicing dentist for the almost 13 years, with over 10 of those years being in Hobart.

Dr Yuen Zhu moved to Hobart in 2014, a place he now calls home.

Born in Shanghai, he moved to Melbourne with his family when he was only 6 years old. He spent his childhood and all his schooling years in Melbourne, ultimately graduating from the University of Melbourne in 2012.

Dr Zhu has always been passionate about helping people solve problems and has a natural drive to "fix" things, which is why he decided to pursue a career in Dentistry, a career he thought would be a good hands-on mix of both.

Yuens approach towards dentistry is patient-focused, and about getting to the root of the problem - not just patching things up. This includes a strong emphasis on patient education and focusing on the way our oral health is connected to our general and mental health and well-being.

In his spare time, Yuen likes to bake and play board games with close friends and spends most weekends at the Badminton Centre in South Hobart having a hit. When Tassie weather permits, and when the water is not too cold, he has also recently been introduced to the wonders of scuba diving and fishing, and endeavors to get out on the water as often as he can.
