Get to Know Me

Dr. Jungsuk Cho was born in Frankfurt, Germany and has lived abroad in South Korea, Venezuela and Ukraine. She attended Barnard College, earning a Bachelor Arts degree in Neuroscience with a focus on neuro-ophthalmology and working with Dr. Donald Hood to understand the structural and functional relationships in glaucoma. She subsequently enrolled in Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where she focused on a public health research project with the Wampanoag tribe in Martha’s Vineyard and worked with stem cell research projects on mesenchymal stem cell differentiation at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She matched at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College for oral and maxillofacial surgery, where she also obtained a medical degree. Prior to joining Jefferson and Nemours, she completed her pediatric craniofacial surgery fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)/Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. 

Why I Treat Children

The world of medicine and the intricacies of human pathology (the study or process of disease) are often intimidating to children and family. I love taking care of kids and being able to help the family navigate the pathology, treatment and recovery. 

What I'm Passionate About

It is often confusing to traverse the crossroads between dentistry and medicine. I feel fortunate to cross the bridge between these two specialties and bring the best care to retore functional wellness to the child and family. 

How I Try to Make A Difference

I believe every child deserves access to health care. I am attentive to each individual and the family’s needs. I try to communicate, educate and help families navigate the diagnosis, treatment options and recovery process.
