Meet the Team
Dr. Suho Lee, DDS
Pediatric Dentistry (Owner, NextGen – Ridgefield, CT & Tooth Fairy Pediatric Dentistry – Danbury, CT)
Dr. Suho Lee grew up in Bronx, NY. He began his career at Columbia University in New York, NY, and graduated in 1999. After graduating from Columbia University, Dr. Lee continued his education by completing his General Dentistry residency at the Naval Hospital Far East with the US Navy in Japan. He also completed his Pediatric residency in 2005 at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY.
Throughout High School, Dr. Lee was interested in Art, and at the beginning of his college career, he started as an Architecture major. Soon after, he realized that he wanted to work more closely with people so he could help others and combined the love of making a difference with the love of working with his hands, so he switched to the medical field to focus on Dentistry.
Today, he specializes in Pediatric Dentistry, and the best thing about working with children is that he has an impact on their facial growth and having the opportunity to be a part of this is very exciting as well as rewarding.
Now, Dr. Lee proudly lives and works in Ridgefield, CT. He resides in Ridgefield with his wife Hannah and their three boys Juwon, Christopher, and Jayden. It was important to Dr. Lee to be able to raise his children in this community because, to him, it has been like a fairytale since he has had the pleasure of servicing its residents for the past 11 years. When Dr. Lee isn’t working, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf, and still serves in the US Navy as a Commander. He has been active for the past 20 years.
