Our primary dental provider, Dr. Chris Ullmann, grew up in Poland during the Cold War era. His family escaped to Austria when he was a small boy, before eventually settling in West Germany. During his high school years, he traveled to California as an exchange student and has lived in America since. For his dental education, he attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, and the Loyola University dental school in Chicago.
Dr. Ullmann says his motivation to become a dentist was the example of his father, who practiced dentistry until the age of 86. He especially enjoys the results he can achieve for patients. Its nice to restore someones smile or help them enjoy eating and other simple things again, he says. He enjoys spending time with family and playing tennis. He won national titles in Germany while he was a student, and was his daughters biggest fan and supporter during her youth tennis competitions.
