DELY YOUNG, DMD
Dr. Dely Young was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. She received her D.M.D. from the University of the East College of Dentistry. After living in New York City and Connecticut, Dr. Young and her husband Neil moved to California in 1985. The next year, they opened up Dr. Young's very own private dental practice on 2nd Avenue in Downtown San Mateo. Neil designed the small office, and the first patients were their family and friends in the area.
Dr. Young is passionate about helping people achieve functional and beautiful smiles via orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, which she first incorporated in her practice in 1990. |
