Dr. Richie Lerias is a family man who has always had a passion for health sciences. Growing up in a family highly involved in the medical field, he knew that he wanted to pursue something in the field that worked closely with people.
After he graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago - College of Dentistry, he then took on a general practice residency through the hospital program at Loyola University Medical Center. Before he started at Wood Dale Dental, he worked in pediatric dentistry further developing his passion in working with kids and adults. Dr. Lerias has been practicing dentistry since 2002, and began working at this practice in 2010. He treats his patients as family and loves getting to spend that one-on-one time with the people of the community.
Dr. Lerias and his wife, have one child. He loves spending time with his family and traveling to new places with them. A big fan of sports, particularly tennis, one of his life goals is to travel to all four tennis grand slam tournaments. Currently, he has been to two and he hopes to get to the others as well. Of course, living in Illinois, he is also a big fan of Chicago sports (Cubs, Bulls and Bears).
In Dr. Lerias spare time, he enjoys volunteering at Misericordia, a home for children and adults with developmental and physical disabilities. This is a heartfelt topic for Dr. Lerias, as his sister is an adult with special needs. He is thankful for his close relationship with his sister and the role that she has played in bringing his family closer together. Volunteering his time once a month at Misericordia, he is able to support his mission of helping children and adults with intellectual and physical disabilities.
