Dr. Yoona Lee
Dr. Yoona Lee was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, and embarked on a journey to the United States at the age of 13. Since then, she has called St. Louis her home since 2020. In her free time, she cherishes moments spent with her husband, Andy, indulging in movie nights and friendly gaming sessions. They share a love for the magical world of Harry Potter and the epic tales of the Lord of the Rings series.
Traveling holds a special place in Dr. Lee’s heart, and one of her most memorable adventures took her to the frigid landscapes of Iceland. Despite her love for exploration, Dr. Lee’s favorite place remains close to her heart – the vibrant city of New York, New York, where she met Andy during dental school. Together, they create beautiful memories and look forward to many more adventures ahead.
