It is with profound sadness that the Aspen Dental community mourns the unexpected passing of Dr. Mike Woo, a longtime dentist, Practice Owner, mentor, and cherished colleague in Indiana.

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Woo joined Aspen Dental in 2008 and became a Practice Owner in 2011. Throughout his remarkable career, he built a group of seven practices across Indiana, improving the lives of countless patients and creating teams he was deeply proud to work alongside.

Dr. Woo brought tremendous energy and heart to everything he did. His dedication to dentistry extended far beyond his own practices. As a member of the OCC faculty in Chicago, he contributed to the implant program and generously shared his knowledge and experience with fellow clinicians. His commitment to teaching, mentoring, and helping others grow will remain an enduring part of his legacy.

His passing leaves an immense void, but his influence will live on through the practices he built, the clinicians he mentored, the patients he served, and the many lives he touched.

The Aspen Dental community extends its heartfelt condolences to his two children, Dr. Carissa Ho, his loved ones, and his teams during this incredibly difficult time.
