I love helping people make positive changes in their lives by giving them the healthy, beautiful smile they deserve. I treasure the opportunity to get to know each of my patients and their familieson a personal levelduring their time in treatment. Those relationships last a lifetime.
Growing up with a mother whos a general dentist and a father whos a veterinarian, it was only natural for me to enter the medical field. Ive been practicing orthodontics since 2008. Every day I feel a great deal of satisfaction knowing Ive helped people take control of their oral health.
As a female orthodontist, Ive found many patients and parents feel more comfortable working with a doctor who is also a mother. My patients are like family to me. I strive to treat them as I would my own children, spouse, and parents. I love being part of their lives and feel honored they have chosen me to be part of theirs.
Each year I complete many hours of continuing orthodontic education. This is an ever-changing specialty and my patients trust me to provide them with the best care options. I am constantly studyingtechnological advances and changes in treatment processes.
As an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists and the Illinois Society of Orthodontists, I have access to courses taught by the leaders in the profession. I also avidly read the latest research findings and discussions of methodologies in refereed journals.
Our whole team goes out of itsway to create and maintain a patient-centered environment, where the patients needs and comfort come first. We take responsibility for every facet of a patients treatment, from communication with their insurance company to interacting with referring dentists. We guide and support our patients and their families through any other services they might need for successful orthodontic results.
Im an Illinois native, having grown up in Burr Ridge. I now live in Elmhurst with my husbandRoband our three beautiful daughters. I enjoy volunteering at my girls schools, taking family bike trips, and seeing the sights and museums in Chicago. Our family also enjoys boating on Lake Michigan.

Orthodontic care is a journey. Its one in which you start feeling uncomfortable with your appearance, perhaps ashamed of your crooked teeth; maybe you feel uncomfortable in social situations, and afraid of what people might think.
As your teeth start toshift gently into proper alignment, and you see the changes in your smile, your self-esteem begins to blossom. Youre more comfortable talking and smiling with new people, and you make eye contact and walk straighter.
By the time treatment is finished, youve transformed: Your smile is healthy and beautiful, and you know it looks incredible. Youre filled with confidence and laugh freely and happily. Best of all, this new smile is one youll love for years to come.
