Dr. Michael Wu was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Also known as Winterpeg, it closely resembles Edmonton. Dr. Wu completed a general Bachelor of Science and his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Manitoba, before moving to Calgary and making it his new home.
He enjoys the active lifestyle that Calgary has to offer and has picked up new hobbies such as bouldering, pickleball, hiking, and a bit of skiing/snowboarding. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and the chinooks have been nothing but pleasant as well.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Wu has a passion in computer science and gaming and also enjoys spending time with friends and family over board games and escape rooms. He also loves learning new languages. He grew up learning Cantonese at home and fluent English at school, took French classes into University, and mostly self-taught Japanese. It has been a while, but he is looking to pick up French and Japanese again in the future.
Dr. Wu believes prevention is the best treatment and hopes you do too. Once the teeth are damaged, the best that can be done is mimicking what was lost, and it will never be as strong or healthy as it once was. Please maintain regular dental visits to prevent this.
Dr. Wu looks forward to meeting you soon!
