Since growing up in Arlington Heights, IL dentistry has been a part of her life. She attended the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana and received her Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1996. Upon graduation she followed in the footsteps of her father and grandfather and made the decision to pursue dentistry. In 2001 she received her Bachelor of Science in Dentistry and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry in Chicago. She met her husband Dr. James Edmonds in dental school and they were married soon after in 2001.
Dr. Sherman is North Eastern Regional Board Certified. She is a member of many professional associations including the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Association, Chicago Dental Association and she frequently attends advanced dentistry classes to improve the many clinical services she provides and to offer the highest level of care.
In her spare time Dr. Sherman finds joy in baking, gardening and photography. Her daughter and son are her favorite subjects. She loves to travel with family and her preferred destination is Disney World.

A very friendly environment! Professionalism all around, and the dental procedure done is fantastic! I was afraid I'd feel pain the following day, and thankfully I'm not even taking Tylenol! Very Happy with my choice!

I have been going to Dr. Edmonds and Dr. Sherman for almost 20 years. They are truthful and honest dentists and also amazing with my teeth. I have brought my family to them and they have watched all my kids grow. I highly recommend them if you are in search for a new dentist.

The staff is kind and welcoming. The dentist, Dr Edmonds, is kind and gentle. He walks you through each step of the procedure and continually checks up on how you are feeling/ tolerating what is being done.

I've always loved Edmonds & Sherman Dental. Both doctors are really great and everyone who works there is terrific. My latest visit, during these COVID times, was perfect. Every precaution was taken to ensure both my and the staff's safety.

Worth the half hour drive each way! My whole family has been going regularly for over 20 years and wouldn't consider going anywhere else after having issues in the past with other providers. My kids never went to a pediatric dentist. Not necessary at all with this amazing staff. They are honest, thorough, kind, and patient.

I had an emergency as I needed a front tooth repaired and we leaving town tomorrow. Dr Edmunds was able to fit me in and the tooth was looking good as new in 45 minutes. A great big thanks to the doctor and his great staff.
