Our History

This dental office was first established by Dr. Herbert Gurthrie in 1965.  After thirty years, Dr. Gurthrie passed the business 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.  In March 2008, we will introduce our brand new office near I-540.  Dr. Glover and Dr. See will join Dr. Chun in this bigger and better team of professionals.

Who We Are

Although we grew up in different areas of the country and around the world, our core values are the same. We genuinely care for our patients and take great pride in our work.
