Dr. Kenny Liu
Dr. Liu was raised in Vancouver and spent his childhood in the suburbs. After high school, he attended and graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and afterwards from University of British Columbia with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD).
After hearing about the opportunities in Whitehorse for himself and his girlfriend, as well as the amazing community of people and the city-nature balance, they are eager to start their new lives and continue their careers in the "Wilderness City". Dr. Liu strives to provide the best and highest quality dental experience for the community, and is excited to start building rapport and good relationships with his patients.
Outside of the office, Dr. Liu enjoys experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, hiking, playing piano, working out and exercising at the Canada Games Centre, and skiing.
Dr. Joel Odulio
Dr. Joel Odulio was raised in Vancouver, BC along with two other siblings: Dr. Jerry Odulio, also a dentist, practicing in San Francisco; and Dr. Marijo Odulio, a physician of obstetrics and gynecology, practicing in Prince George, BC.
Dr. Odulio graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 2004. After working as an associate for 3 years, he pursued his dreams and opened his own dental clinic, Elias Dental in Horwoods Mall in 2007. On June 18, 2018 we moved to our new building at 200-4078 4th Avenue, with Elias Dental occupying the entire second floor. It has been over 14 amazing years providing dental services to the people of Whitehorse, Yukon!
Dr. Odulio has been blessed with an amazing marriage to his wife Liza and they have 5 children, 4 girls and a boy. He enjoys tennis, team sports and working out at the gym, but his favorite activity is basketball. He loves the outdoors and hopefully will someday try hunting. Any offers on bringing him out and teaching him some Yukon hunting skills?
