About us

      This dental office was first established by Dr. Herbert Gurthrie in 1965.  After thirty years, Dr. Gurthrie transitioned the office over to Dr. Lam Chu in 1997.  Dr. Chu introduced Dr. Chun to the practice in 2001.  We have grown together with our patients, and with the city of Raleigh.     
​      Dr. Chun received his doctoral degree in Dental Surgery from School of Dentistry at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  During school, he worked as a research associate at the Dental Research Center.  He received awards for his work in research and served as the Counselor at National Student Research Group.      
Before his dental career, Dr. Chun received his doctoral degree from the Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame in 1995. 
      Dr. Chun is married to Jennifer Chun, an immigration attorney.  His daughter, Angela, is graduating from Loma Linda Dental School in 2023.  His son, Andrew, graduated from UNC Chapel Hill, majoring in computer science.
