beginning of their treatment to the end are my favorite things
about orthodontics. Our patients are great, and since they
deserve the best, that is what they get when they come to the
office. They are all a joy, and I love getting to know
them.
Prior to orthodontics, I worked in general dentistry for 20
years. I've been in orthodontics since 2004 and with Get It

I love how dramatically orthodontics affects a person's smile
and demeanor. Every time we take braces off of a patient, their
eyes light up and I just know we've help to change their life
for the better. Working at Get It Straight has allowed me to
meet incredible people – our patients are all very friendly and
fun!
Chicago is the place I call home, and I recently attended
