I feel privileged to participate in an important aspect of a persons healthcare. It has been a continued honor to provide high quality orthodontic care and be involved in my patients lives for the past 20 years. In addition, it is a tremendous blessing to be a second-generation orthodontist in my family and to be able to continue the legacy that my father, Dr. Robert Goshgarian, started with this practice many years ago.

A Lake Forest, Illinois native, I graduated from Lake Forest High School and continued on to Carroll College for my Bachelor of Science degree. My dental education was completed at the University of Illinois, where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery, after which I completed my General Practice Residency at Loyola University Hospital System. I stayed on at Loyola University, attending the College of Dentistry for my Orthodontic Residency.

I strongly believe ongoing learning and training allows me to provide our patients the most up-to-date treatment available and the best care. I attend over 60 hours of continuing education annually, far exceeding the requirements to retain my license.

Additionally, I help set up continuing education meetings for other orthodontists on a state/regional level to help them learn. I am an active member of the American Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontists, Illinois Society of Orthodontists (Past President), and the Midwestern Society of Orthodontists (Executive Officer). Also, I was an Assistant Clinical Professor at Loyola University, for three years.

My wife, Christine, and I have four beautiful daughters. I really enjoy spending time with my family. I also golf and bike, and I love camping in the mountains. My community work involves participation in the Lake Forest Caucus and The Spirit of 67.

Lauren:I graduated from SIUC in 2003 with a Dental Technology major and have been working in orthodontics ever since. As Dr. Goshgarians Treatment Coordinator, I love having the opportunity to meet with all of our new patients and find out how our team can help them achieve the smile they have always wanted. While away from the office I enjoy going to concerts and hanging out in the great outdoors with my husband, daughter, and our dog Charlie. I also love to cheer on the Bears, Blackhawks, and Cubbies (all with my cat Wrigley hanging by my side.)

Erica:Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world Im happy to bring my smile to the Goshgarian Orthodontics team. After working in cosmetics and customer service for the last 12+ years, Im very excited for this new journey.In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am very blessed with two little boys who ALWAYS keep me on my toes. My family and I are die-hard Dallas Cowboy fans, so every Sunday during football season is Sunday Fun-day and we are together cheering them on.

Maria:I have been in the dental field for over 20 years, and I can honestly say I love everything about it! Istarted off in general dentistry before I transitioned to the specialty of Orthodontics as an assistant and Ifeel it is one of the best decisions I have made in my dental career. The bonds that are formed withpatients of all ages makes my heart smile, and seeing their smile after treatment is completed is the bestfeeling of all!Boy, did I luck out when I got hired at Goshgarian Orthodontics! Dr. G is not only an amazingorthodontist, but he is a caring person who gives each patient his full attention no matter their age. Hecares about the final result of each patient and makes sure all are happy with the end result. The staff Iam so lucky to be a part of is definitely the cherry on top. Working with each one of these gals is likeworking with my sisters, truly, and Dr. G is my big brother!In my spare time, I love bowling, which I have been doing just as long as Ive been in the dental field. Iam also a big fan of watching movies. If I told you how much I love music and going to concerts, well,that would take a whole other page. Yep, thats how much I love music!

Stephanie:I graduated from the dental assistant program at GTC of Kenosha, Wi in 2014 and have been working in orthodontics ever since! When I was a child, I had a crazy intensive orthodontic treatment plan. That experience sparked a huge interest for me in the dental field.The treatment outcome and the reaction of the patients seeing their beautiful new smiles for the first time is the best part of my job. I love connecting with my patients and helping them feel comfortable the whole time they are in the office.In my spare time I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible with my Siberian husky, Xena. We love going for runs through the forest preserve as well as visiting the dog park. I am also a part of a racing family, so summer weekends are spent locally or at out of town dirt tracks!
