A Chicagoland native, Dr. Gary T. Klein is first and foremost a Cubs fanatic, and a loyal life-long member of the Chicago Cubs Die-Hard Fan Club. Other aspects of his childhood pale in comparison to his love for the Cubbies.
Dr. Gary Klein is a 1981 honors graduate of University of Michigan and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Loyola University School of Dentistry in 1985, where he graduated at the top of his class. He continued his specialty education in orthodontics at Loyola, earning his Certificate in Orthodontics in 1987 and his Masters in Oral Biology in 1991. In 1997, Dr. Klein achieved Diplomate status in the American Board of Orthodontics and is a member of the College of Diplomates. Dr. Klein loves that as an orthodontist, he gets to work with kids every day.
When Dr. Klein isnt watching or listening to his beloved Cubs, he and his wife Nancy (also a practicing Dentist) spend time with their daughters and sons-in-law, Julie and Spencer and granddaughter Addie, and Jamie and Omer. They most enjoy going on family camping trips to visit Americas great National Parks. Dr. Klein loves barbecue ribs, and after all these years is still moved by the beauty of Lake Shore Drive and the Waterfront of Chicago. The Kleins have 2 boys, Jackson, a waterdog with a whole lot of energy and sharp teeth, and Henry, a perfect brother to Jackson.
Dr. James W. Orbon grew up on Chicagos south side, and actually lived in the city proper until he was 28 years old. A true Chicagoan, he loves all the citys teams, particularly the White Sox and the Bears! Interestingly, Dr. James Orbon wanted to be a dentist since he was 8 years old, probably because he simply loves kids.
Dr. Orbon earned his undergraduate degree in 1977 at Loyola University of Chicago, and remained at Loyola to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the School of Dentistry in 1981. He continued his dental specialty education at Dayton, Ohios Childrens Medical Center, where he earned his Certificate of Pediatric Dentistry in 1983. As a faculty member of the Loyola School of Dentistry and on staff at Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital, Dr. Orbon lectures extensively on various aspects of Pediatric Dentistry.
In 1987, Dr. Orbon achieved Diplomate status in the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and is a member of the College of Diplomates. His love of children, and helping them overcome fear, is what he loves most about being a Pediatric Dentist.
Dr. James Orbon and his wife Lorraine enjoy watching their children, Jimmy, Kate, Beth, and Molly grow personally and professionally. In addition to being a Swim Referee and Masters Swimmer, he and his family enjoy travelling, and hope to see the world. In the meantime, they enjoy cooking, barbecuing, and gardening at home. Dr. Orbon also has a love hate relationship with golf.
In 2020, Dr. Orbon received the Illinois State Dental Society Humanitarian Award for demonstrated accomplishments in the field of dentistry caring for the underserved. As a founding member of El Nino Rey, a dental mission and scholarship group that ventures to Guerrero, Mexico, he continues to lead this group to rural mountain regions of Mexico delivering dental care to the less fortunate annually.
Growing up in the small Midwestern town of Zanesville, Ohio, boyhood home of author Zane Grey and astronaut/senator John Glenn, Dr. David S. Maddox, II always dreamed of one day living in a big city, full of excitement and adventure.
After receiving a degree in zoology from Miami University in Oxford, OH in 1982, Dr. David Maddox earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland. Not satisfied Ohio would be the source of excitement and adventure he was seeking, Dr. Maddox continued his post-graduate dental studies at Northwestern University and The Childrens Memorial Hospital; earning his Master of Science and Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry in 1988. He chose the pediatric dental specialty because he enjoys the variety and refreshing nature of children.
Dr. Maddox currently maintains Associate staff privileges at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Childrens Hospital of Chicago. In addition, he is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistryand a member of the College of Diplomates.
Dr. David Maddox is married to Anita an author, as well as Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and they are the proud parents of three children. His favorite foods fall into a category he calls American Provincial and their travels usually revolve around family-oriented events and activities.

I have been coming to Affiliated Dental for 15 years. We came because they could see all of our kids at the same time. We have 4 kids and it makes it easy to get their teeth cleaned at the same time. Generally I would bring the kids early on Saturday, watch the fish and drink coffee. I enjoyed the follow ups with Dr. Orbon, and he always wanted to know how our family was doing and encouraged us with advice and encouragement. If you are looking for a safe, pleasant place to get your kids teeth cleaned, I would recommend Affiliated Dental.

My high school-aged sons have been seeing Dr. Orbon every 6 months for over 10 years; Dr. Port for orthodontia the last 5+ years. Everyone is professional, but with a personal touch, very friendly, and knowledgeable. It's a great practice and I recommend it highly. We're very pleased with the dental care received and look forward to our next visit in 6 months.

Dr. Klein employs used car salesman tactics. We went to him and he never disclosed that will be an evaluation fee even if almost every orthodontist in Lake County does not charge that fee, regardless if you go with them or not for the treatment. I went there to discuss the treatment for my child. Do you know that "where is your wife?" tactic, "I need you both to sign the papers today". I would definitely not recommend this place

I can't recommend Affiliated Dentists enough! I had a crown done by Dr. Porter and he was reassuring and professional throughout the process. He answered all of my questions and I felt like I was in good hands. Everyone I interacted with at the practice was friendly from the front desk staff to the hygienists!
