Dr. Tatum Louie
Dr. Tatum P. Louie was born and raised in the tiny town of Lone Oak, Texas. She earned her Bachelors in Biology with a minor in Business at UT Dallas then graduated from Texas A&M College of Dentistry in Dallas. Dr. Louie’s favorite thing about walking into the Pasadena office everyday is helping her patients regain confidence in their smiles by tapping into her artistic side to create something beautiful, functional, and comfortable. Outside of caring for her patients, Dr. Louie enjoys cooking with her husband, Terry, and playing with their goofy labradoodle, Walter. She also loves coffee shops, antiques, trying new restaurants, playing tennis, and traveling. So far, her two favorite adventures have been their honeymoon to Thailand and a mission trip to provide dental care to the sweet people of Jamaica. The Louie family’s biggest adventure, however, has been welcoming their first child, Tatiana Paige, into the world in January 2022. Congrats to the Louie family!
