Meet Dr. Min Ko

With a degree in B.S Chemistry from UNC Chapel Hill, my curiosity initially led me on an adventure with the Peace Corps. Serving as a volunteer teacher in a remote village of Namibia (2010-2012) opened my eyes to the importance of basic healthcare, especially dental care. It inspired me to pursue a career where I could make a real difference, and that’s how I ended up going to dental school at NYU(2013-2017). While in school, I participated in dental mission trips to Mexico and was able to put my skills to good use. After graduation, I practiced in New Hampshire before moving back to North Carolina, where I felt home and finally found my perfect fit here at Durham Dental Studio.

I love connecting with people from all walks of life, and my fluency in Spanish allows me to serve a wider community. I’m also a lifelong learner – always seeking improvement through self-evaluation, patient feedback, and continuing education courses.

In the chair, you can expect a gentle touch and a calming presence. My goal is to ensure a comfortable dental experience for everyone and treat each patient as my family.

Outside of the office, life revolves around my wonderful husband and our almost 4-year-old son. We’re active in our church community, and I have a long list of hobbies waiting to be explored, like reading, writing, and playing piano.

I’m Dr. Ko, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Durham Dental Studio family. I look forward to meeting you soon and helping you achieve your healthiest smile!

Warmly,

Dr. Min Ko
