Katherine Tse was born and raised in San Francisco. Dr. Tse received her Bachelor of Science in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior with Honors from the University of California, Davis and was inducted into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
After receiving her BS degree, Dr. Tse moved to New York City to attend the New York University College of Dentistry to complete her dental training. Her desire to serve the pediatric population was first ignited during a mission trip in Tijuana where she was given the opportunity to build houses for families in need and interact with the children of these families. This desire was further fortified through her experiences working with children with disabilities at the Pomeroy Recreation and Rehabilitation Center, and in various elementary school community programs during her time at NYU. She hopes to further advance her training through her time in the pediatric residency program at University of California, San Francisco so that she may better serve the pediatric population.
