At home, Dr. Tiu has a loving husband and two very spunky daughters. Whenever she has free time away from work, her favorite hobbies are cooking, biking, and playing tennis.

Here’s an interesting fact about her: she once auditioned for a Sensodyne commercial but was horrible in front of the camera. She’s still waiting on that call-back!
