Our Buda Dentists

Dr. ­­­­­­­­­­­­­Angela ­­­­­­­­­Yang grew up in Houston, TX. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Public Health at The University of Texas at Austin, and her Doctor of Dental Surgery at UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry. She completed an AEGD postgraduate program in Waimanalo, Hawaii. 
 
Dr. Yang entered the dental field because she wanted to help people and loved working with her hands. Her favorite aspect of dentistry is seeing the joy on someone’s face when they are finally happy with their smile, especially if they have been ashamed of it for a long time. 
 
Outside of the office, Dr. Yang enjoys dancing bachata and Brazilian zouk, photographing sunsets, and starting (but never quite finishing) knitting projects.

Dr. Jerry Chiu was born and raised in New Jersey, but is proud to call himself an Austinite. As a child, he dreaded going to the dentist, but the saving grace was the comfort and compassion he felt in the chair by his dental professional.

Dr. Chiu obtained his doctor of dental surgery degree at Columbia University, where he was involved in international mission trips to Cambodia. He completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the competitive Medstar Washington Hospital Center, serving as chief resident in the final year. His training also included working at esteemed affiliated hospitals, such as the John Hopkins Hospital, DC Veteran Affairs Medical Center, Children’s National Hospital, and the National Institute of Health.

He is also the proud father of a French bulldog named Cooper. Dr. Chiu enjoys traveling internationally and has backpacked in over 18 countries with even more trips in mind.
