We’re especially proud that so many of our team members have been with us for 20 to 40 years. Sharing the same patient-centered approach, our team members love working with each other and invest that joy in the care of each one-of-a-kind patient.
We get down to business, but not before we take a minute to catch up. Time spent getting to know each other personalizes care and improves your overall experience and outcome.
I’m one of the smiling faces that you will see at the front desk. I’ve been a part of the team since 1996. I am a native of Lancaster County, PA. My husband and I live in Grayslake where we raised our two daughters. In my free time, I enjoy walking, yoga and bike rides with the family, especially to Tastee Freez or they call it The Freeze now!
I joined the team in 2004. I love the interaction with patients and parents. I see patients come to our office for the first time and then get to see their smiles transform. Working with this team is truly a great part of my day and I always look forward to coming to the office. I live in Wisconsin with my husband, York, and our three children, Ivan, Stella, and Juliet. When I’m not at work, I volunteer in the local community and enjoy hiking, camping, reading, and spending time with my family.
I joined the OSOLC team in 2020. I started in dentistry in 1999 and love everything about helping patients love their smiles. I’m thrilled to have found my new work home. Currently, I live in Gurnee with my husband and 4 kids and I really enjoy being a part of this community.
I joined the Orthodontic Specialist of Lake County team in the fall of 2019 and I absolutely love it! I enjoy working with the doctors, team and patients to give them the very best smiles. My hobbies are yoga, swimming, and softball. I’ve played softball since I was six years old and now spend my weekends coaching a softball team.
I joined the OSOLC team in 2006. After owning my own business, I decided to return to the dental field where I previously had 10 years of experience. I first came to love OSOLC when my children were patients – and now enjoy being part of such a positive, professional team. My husband and I live in Grayslake where we raised our four sons. In my free time, I enjoy being at the movies and watching plays. I also love going to the gym, spending time with family and friends – but I especially enjoy playing with my grandkids.
I joined team OSOLC in 2024. I enjoy being part of the community, helping people achieve their best smiles, and being part of a great team! My husband and I live in Gurnee and in my free time I love to cook and bake, work out, walk my dogs and visit my two boys wherever they are around the country and world!
I joined the team when I received my Certified Dental Assisting certificate in 1984 from the College of Lake County. I am currently a chairside assistant and quality team supervisor. I absolutely love working with and educating our patients about their teeth and seeing the beautiful transformations that happen with orthodontics. I have lived most of my life and raised my children in Lake County with my husband and we now live just over the border in Wisconsin. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, antiquing, and spending time with my family.
I graduated from Swedish American Hospital as a radiation therapist in 1984, and received my Bachelor of Health Arts degree in 1990 from the College of St. Francis. After taking some time off from the health field to raise my children, I joined the team in 2004. I currently am the clinical supervisor for the Grayslake office. I also am in charge of inventory and purchasing for all our offices and oversee our Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance. I have lived in the area since 1997 with my husband and three kids. I first discovered Orthodontic Specialists as a mom and loved the friendly welcoming atmosphere. It was a perfect fit to be part of the OSOLC team.
I started my career in orthodontics in 2006 after I took some time off to raise my daughter. I live in Lake County with my husband, Joe, and our two children, Maddi and Zach. When I’m not in the office helping the doctors create spectacular smiles, you might see me at local events supporting the community.
I love being a part of such a friendly, fun, and welcoming team!
I began working here in 2005. I love meeting all the people in the community and seeing our patients around town. I moved to Grayslake in 2000 from the east coast but I’m originally from Louisville, KY. My husband, David, and my three children and grandchildren love the Grayslake area.
I joined team OSOLC in 2022. I enjoy making personal connections with our patients, while working towards achieving the smile of their dreams! I have lived in Illinois my entire life, but I love to travel all around and visit different places. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my children and going to see live music!
I joined the team in 2020. I have been working in the dental field since 2015 and have always been interested in orthodontics. OSOLC has always been an admirable practice that I am now very thankful to be a part of. I enjoy interacting with our patients and watching their smiles transform. I also love being a part of a close-knit and hardworking team.
In my free time, I like to stay active by playing sports and going to the gym. I love spending time with my big family and enjoying home-cooked meals. I always look forward to weekend getaways and traveling with my friends.
I joined the team in 2021. I love being a part of this environment where we help people achieve a beautiful smile. I have two young daughters and enjoy working out and running spartan races. When I am not working, I love to sit down and read a good self-development book. I also plan to go back to school to specialize is FX makeup because I love doing Halloween makeup on myself and my daughters and others.
I love this job because it keeps me super busy and on my feet all day long. It’s great working with such an amazing, helpful, and fun group. Plus, we get to make people happy everyday! I had been taking my family to OSOLC for several years before joining the team in 2019. I’m originally from Libertyville and since my husband was in the Navy, we have spent time in Virginia and San Diego.
We currently live in the Grayslake area with our 2 daughters. I love traveling (Las Vegas and Disney World are our favorites), reading, and spending time with friends and family.
I lived in Chicago before moving to Wisconsin and have been part of OSOLC since 2022. I’m the office assistant at the Gurnee location and really enjoy being part of such a wonderful team that supports each other and really makes work a fun place to be. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, nature, and the arts of all kind.
I’ve been with OSOLC since 2024, working behind the scenes with dental models. I have a variety of responsibilities, primarily helping start patients’ treatment when they choose braces and creating all retainers when they finish treatment. I love the moments when I get to interact with patients! My favorite part of orthodontics is seeing the positive impact it can have on someone’s life.
What I enjoy most about working with our doctors is their genuine care for both patients and our team.
I was born and raised in Illinois. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, playing sports, and spending time with family and friends. I also love traveling and discovering new food and drink spots.
Every smile is unique. That’s why we offer flexible, custom treatment options for every age, goal, and lifestyle.
Your new smile, and a team who truly cares, are waiting for you!
