Meet Our Dentists

Dr. Xue Shirley Zhao

Hi, I’m Dr. Shirley! I’m a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and a proud graduate of Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. I completed my specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY, where I served as Chief Resident in my final year of residency.

Being raised bilingual, I am fluent in both Mandarin and English. I take great pride in my heritage and my ability to offer culturally sensitive care. This allows me to explain procedures more clearly, address concerns directly, and ensure my patients and their families fully understand their treatment options.

Prior to relocating to the Pacific Northwest, I spent three years providing dental care to children across Hawaii, including Maui, Kauai, and The Big Island. I feel privileged to be in a profession that enables me to connect with my patients and build meaningful, lifelong relationships.

Outside of being serious about fighting cavities, I am an avid world traveler, a devoted dog mom, and an aspiring yoga instructor. I also enjoy activities like cooking, hiking, and playing tennis.

I’m thrilled to call the Pacific Northwest my home and look forward to making your child’s dental visit fun and enjoyable at Harmony Pediatric Dentistry!

Dr. Dusayant Patel

Dr. Patel was born and raised in Houston, TX, and attended The University of Texas in Austin, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Sciences focusing on Early Childhood Development. He then obtained a Master of Science in Oral Health Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine before earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine in Boston, MA, while graduating at the top of his class with Magna Cum Laude Honors.

After practicing as a General Dentist in Texas, Dr. Patel relocated to pursue advanced education in Pediatric Dentistry. While serving as Chief Resident, he completed his training at Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland, OR. He is a member of the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Patel enjoys living an active lifestyle while exploring the natural beauty that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. He is an avid sports fan, and his love for the arts extends to everything from visiting new exhibits and art galleries to seeing live music. He is a loving and involved family member, a loyal friend, and a dedicated pediatric dentist to the patients who brighten his life each and every day.

Dr. Anna Yoo

Hi, I’m Dr. Anna! I am a pediatric dentist whose mission is to help kids grow healthy, confident smiles. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, I completed my pediatric dentistry training at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). I’ve always had genuine love and compassion for children, and I’m dedicated to ensuring their well-being in every way I can.

I strive to make dental checkups feel more like playdates (with way fewer sugary treats!). I love celebrating those tiny teeth milestones and helping kids learn how to keep their smiles bright and healthy.

When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me exploring cozy coffee shops, hunting for treasures at thrift stores, or singing my heart out at K-pop concerts. I try to bring a little extra joy to everything I do, whether it’s in the office or out on the town!

I’m excited to meet you and your little ones and look forward to making every visit a positive and fun experience!
