I have been a dental hygienist at Miles Family Dental for almost 10 years. My favorite part of my job is interacting with patients and really getting to know them while providing them with the best oral health care possible. I am also a clinical instructor at the College of Lake County in the Dental Hygiene program where I get to share my passion for my profession with future dental hygienists.

I have been married to my husband John for almost 22 years and we have 4 amazing children- Kennedy, Hannah, Maiah and Quade. With 2 of them in college and 2 in high school we rarely have a dull moment. In my spare time you would likely catch me at a baseball field, volleyball court or just spending time with my family no matter what and where we are.

I joined Miles Family Dental team in 2019 and love that we treat each other like family. I grew up in sunny Florida, but my roots extend from Chicago. I moved back to Illinois in 2004, but am still trying to get used to the harsh winters! I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2012 with a Bachelors degree in Public Health and then received my A.A.S. in Dental Hygiene in 2016 from The College of Lake County. My love of science and research inspire me to study the newest techniques and treatments to give my patients the best care!

I was born and raised in South Texas located near the Gulf of Mexico. Shortly after high school I began my career in the dental field holding positions from receptionist, medical billing and ultimately dental assisting when I realized I wanted to become a hygienist. My passion in the dental field led me to attend Texas State Technical College in Harlingen, Texas where I earned my degree in dental hygiene.

After earning my degree, I began working for two local dental practices: a periodontist office where I worked as a hygienist on some of South Texass toughest dental cases and a pediatric dental practice. After 20 plus years of working in South Texas, my family and I moved to Gurnee, IL.

I moved to Gurnee with my husband Eric, our youngest son, and rescue dog Bella. I also have two older boys who have started their own families. While not at work you can probably find me reading, walking on the beach, and traveling. I am bilingual (Spanish) and pride myself on a strong work ethic, a trait I received from my parents.

Dr. Jeffrey P. Miles was born and raised in the small town of Ontonagon, located on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigans Upper Peninsula. He spent a considerable amount of time serving in the military, nearly 30 years. He was active duty enlisted in the U.S. Army for 11 years serving as a Special Forces Medical Sergeant with 5th Special Forces, Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

After returning from Desert Shield and Desert Storm, he left the Army to complete his undergraduate studies at the University of Kentucky. He then attended the University Of Louisville School Of Dentistry and obtained his Doctorate in Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) in 1999. While at the University of Louisville, Dr. Miles graduated with Magna Cum Laude Honors as well winning the Deans Award. He served as Class President for 4 years.

Dr. Miles was awarded a 4-year Navy scholarship while attending dental school. Upon graduation, he completed a one year General Practice Residency (GPR) at Naval Hospital Great Lakes, Illinois. He then spent 6 years active duty with the U.S. Navy. After a total of 17 years of active service, he served the remainder of his military career with the Wisconsin Air Guard and Wisconsin Army National Guard. Dr. Miles retired from the military in Oct 2015 at the rank of Colonel.

In 2005, Dr. Miles entered private practice with the construction of a new office in Antioch, IL. Since then, the practice has since grown into three locations with the opening of the Richmond office in 2013, and our newest location Winthrop Harbor has been open since 2017.

Dr. Miles feels it is important to stay on the cutting-edge of dentistry. Thus, he maintains memberships in many professional dental organizations to keep up-to-date on the latest techniques and technology. He is currently a member of the American Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry. He is also pursuing interests in Forensic Odontology.

To give back to his community, Dr. Miles and his hygienists visit local schools during February, Kids National Dental Health Month, to give presentations about the importance of excellent oral hygiene. Dr. Miles also volunteers with local charities and sponsors multiple organizations.

The ladies and dentist were very kind and patient. Always asking questions to ensure I was comfortable and not experiencing any pain. The ladies up front were always smiling and gave a warm welcome when entering the office.

Same Staff as always. New Doctor. She is amazing! Great chairside manner. She is wonderful with children. The hygienists Irene, Roxanna & Nicole stay current with all the new procedures in prevention. They truly care about their patients and providing them with the best preventive treatment. They take the time to discuss any concerns and address them.

All of the good reviews on Google are prior to Dr. Miles leaving! The current employees are rude, the new dentist is condescending and has zero bedside manner. She went out of her way to inflict pain during my procedure. It was the most painful dental experience of my life. Never going back! My adult children have also recently had bad experiences at this practice. We will all be looking for a new dentist. Bah-bye.

If I could do zero stars I would. Dr.Miles was the best dentist I've ever had and I had hoped the same for his replacement. The ladies upfront are wonderful and always so happy to see everyone, the dentist and assistant I saw today on the other hand... no words! I was asked if I had any concerns and before even being able to fully answer I was cut off and made to feel like I don't know anything! They are extremely rude and I live to far for them to poke at my mouth and send me on my way! When trying to be heard they just repeated themselves more aggressively and lectured me the whole hour I was there (no cleaning was done still) they are super unprofessional and cause me so much pain in my mouth (on top of what I already had which is why I was there) everything I'm eating and drinking hurts. A new dentist is definitely going to be looked into because that was not ok

Updated: AUG15, 2022 I was supposed to have an appointment on AUG23,2022 (I scheduled this 6 months ago with their staff). AUG stating, "... for some reason we had you on the schedule on Tuesday the 23rd, and we don't have a hygienist available at that time. If we have anything become available we will give you a call so we have taken you off the schedule so you are aware. 1. The reason you had me on schedule was because I booked it 6 months ago, ... 2. They just took me off the schedule without a request to re-schedule. Usually I doctor's offices want to reschedule not just take me off the schedule "just so I'm aware" -- interesting approach. Dr Miles is gone, its really too bad. :(

New to the area so I had to find a new dental office. Glad I went with Miles Dental. The staff is friendly, I waited only a few minutes before being taken to the back, the dental hygienist (Irene) was gentle and had great "bed-side" manner. Most people dread going to the dentist but I'm looking forward to my next appointment!

This was my first visit to Miles Family Dental, and I was very impressed with the care that was taken. It has been 1 1/2 yrs since my last cleaning. I usually go twice a year as I have some dental issues but was delayed due to covid. Miles Family Dental did a fantastic job. My hygienist was terrific and took all the care necessary. Will update with continued care and would highly recommend the office.
