Meet The Team

MELISSA

Dental Hygienist

I’ve been a dental hygienist for 18 years and I have been with MG Dentistry for five years. MG Dentistry gives me the opportunity to practice my passion and to help my patients in achieving their best smile. Not only do I enjoy helping others be healthy but I also practice and teach yoga for my own personal health. For me, yoga is inspiring, calming and reflective spiritually, mentally, and physically. It challenges me to be the best “Mel” I can be.

MICHELE

Dental Hygienist

I was born and raised in West Virginia but have been a Chicagoan since 1999.  I received my Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene from West Virginia University and have been in the dental field for 16 years.
 Outside of work I am an avid Cubs and Mountaineer fan.  I enjoy practicing yoga, traveling, and spending time with my bulldogs.
I am the newest addition to the MG Dentistry team.  I take pride in providing detailed and thorough care to my patients.

I am one of our two wonderful medical estheticians. I have worked at MG Rejuvenation Center for five years and have been a licensed esthetician for 12 years. I enjoy working out so that I can eat Potbelly’s sugar cookies! I truly love my job and my amazing clients.

Outside of the office, I’m always looking to brush up on my equine knowledge (and pass it on to my daughter).  

FAITH

Concierge

I recently moved to Chicago 3 years ago from Laguna Beach, CA. As much as I miss the West Coast, Chicago is amazing and I am absolutely in love with this city. I started my journey with MG Dentistry in February of 2018 as their concierge. The fact that I am privileged enough to get up every day, knowing I am apart of helping create beautiful smiles that ultimately will change the lives of our patients is only one of many reasons I love what I do in this world.
When I am not at MG Dentistry, I am all about relaxation whether it be strumming to my guitar, creating music or just out with my family and friends at one of the many amazing places Chicago has to offer

YVETTE

Patient Care Coordinator

I’m Yvette and I’m so excited to be a part of the MG Dentistry family. With over 11 years of dental administration experience, I strive to make our patients feel as comfortable as possible. It is my goal to ensure that every patient walks out feeling better about their dental health than they did before they walked in. I believe in staying positive and spreading joy to others. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy traveling and spending time with family and close friends.
