Dr Yi Ran (Laurel) Fu
Dr. Laurel Fu, General Dentist, DMD
Growing up, Dr. Fu was a frequent visitor to her family dentist which fostered her interest and appreciation for the field of dentistry. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in biochemistry at the University of British Columbia, she made the full commitment to pursue dentistry as a career. She continued on to complete her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of British Columbia while serving local community members. Dr. Fu has travelled outside the lower mainland to work in smaller communities and fell in love with the sense of support and cohesiveness that other towns in British Columbia have to offer. Thus, she decided to move outside of the lower mainland to the Comox Valley to fulfill her career and lifestyle aspirations.
As a general dentist, Dr. Fu has a keen interest in all aspects of dentistry and wishes to carry out comprehensive care with special attention to patient management and comfort. As a perfectionist, she strives to complete every procedure to the highest of standards but having been in the patient chair more times than she anticipated, she understands the stresses that come with being at the dentist. Dr. Fu hopes to help change the negative connotations associated with dentistry and work collaboratively with patients to achieve their oral health goals.
Dr. Fu can be described as a mix of adventurous and calm. On one hand, she loves to travel the world and experience new cultures, but on the other hand, she enjoys the quiet nights in with her partner and senior cat. Being an animal lover, she has volunteered with local shelters and fostered many times before adopting her once obese and diabetic cat who closely resembles Garfield.
