Dr. Jack Liu

Dr. Jack Liu was a scientist before he was a dentist—he earned a PhD in biochemistry before his dental degree. Given the choice between the two, he chose the path that kept him working alongside people. What he values most as an endodontist is the problem-solving each case brings, and the chance to treat and educate his patients while relieving their pain, often in a single visit.

Dr. Liu earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery and his endodontic certificate from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, where he later served as an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Endodontics. An endodontist since 2005, he has focused his practice on root canal therapy, retreatments, and apical surgery. He is a Fellow of the International College of Dentists and a member of the American Association of Endodontists, the American Dental Association, and the Iowa Dental Association.

Born and raised in Taiwan, Dr. Liu feels he has won the lottery, being able to “live and work in Hawaiʻi”. Outside the office he is happiest with family, whether hiking, at the beach, watching a favorite movie, or cooking. He and his wife have three grown children and three dogs, Remi, Oakley, and Mochi.
