Each member of our team is a highly qualified professional and maintains the knowledge necessary to deliver the highest standard of care. However, we have never felt that knowledge is enough; our staff is made up of compassionate, understanding and supportive people as well. We are very proud of them.

Each staff member is an essential part of our team and frankly, they enjoy working with each other as much as they enjoy our wonderful patients. In fact, the average employee tenure at North Suburban Periodontics is more than 18 years. Something good happens when good people come together to deliver excellent care.
