Josephine Korlei Mensah, DMD
Dr. Mensah received both her bachelors of arts and dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Following dental school, she completed a general practice residency at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan. Dr. Mensah obtained her specialty training in pediatric dentistry from St. Barnabas Hospital in Bronx, New York where she served as chief resident.
Education is one of her passions, and Dr. Mensah is currently on faculty at St. Barnabas Hospital Health System in the Bronx, where she enjoys educating and inspiring future pediatric dentists. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, and a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Mensah spent her childhood in the Hudson Valley and she has been working in private practice in New York for over a decade. What she loves most about pediatric dentistry is getting children and parents to understand why their dental health and consequently, overall health is so important, and getting her patients excited about coming back to the dentist! In a calm and comforting manner, she strives to make each child’s visit to the dentist a fun and pleasant one.
When she’s not fighting cavities, she enjoys traveling, tennis, learning Spanish, and most of all being a full time mother of two young, energetic children.
Dr. Georgio H. Woo, DMD MS MS
Dr. Woo - the Gum and Implant Specialist
My name is Dr. Georgio H. Woo. I am a board eligible periodontist, and my goal is to provide you with optimal gum health and beautiful smiles in the manner of comfortable experiences and personalized periodontal treatments. Periodontics, a dental specialty exclusively focusing on gum disease, other tooth-supporting tissues, and dental implantology, was my natural choice since I love science, medicine, and dentistry.
I graduated from Cornell University with a bachelor's degree in biological sciences with a concentration in molecular and cell biology, continued my education at Johns Hopkins University, and received a master's degree. Upon graduation, I worked at a biotechnology company in Seoul, South Korea where I was part of the first Korean human genome sequencing project that became published in Nature. At that time, I decided to be a dentist, received Dental Degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, OH, and finished my periodontics residency at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in the city of New York.
During my residency, I did research on reconstruction of periodontal tissues on dental implants for the treatment of peri-implantitis and received a Master of Science degree in periodontics. I am also appointed to a part-time faculty teaching periodontics at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3-year-old son James and exploring lots of outdoor activities. New York has always been my home state since my college years, and I am glad to serve my communities and patients here.
