Heather, Practice Administrator
For Heather, it’s highly fulfilling to provide children in our community and their families with positive experiences that create the foundation for a lifetime of optimal dental health and habits. She completed her practicum in Early Childhood Education at the College of Lake County.
Outside the practice, Heather likes going to the movies, shopping, reading and spending time with her family. 
Donna, Accounts Coordinator
Donna loves to hear children tell us that they love coming to the dentist after their appointments. “I want everyone to have the best experience at our office.” She earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from Roosevelt University.
When she’s not at work, Donna enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading, cooking and crafting.
Lisa, Administrative Assistant
After high school, Lisa began working at Clearbrook, an organization for Developmentally Disabled Adults and Children.
“There I spent 25 wonderful years working with clients who were like my family. I did all their one-on-one care for the clients who were 100% dependent on the staff. The last 10 years I was also the office manager. Working there was highly rewarding.”
When she’s not at work, Lisa enjoys spending time with her husband and her two sons Evan and Ethan. Their dog Comet is the heart of their family. They enjoy bonfires, bike riding, swimming, outdoor activities and so much more. She loves being around her family and friends any chance she can.
Mehnaz, Administrative Assistant
Mehnaz is currently a Psychology Major on the Pre-Dental track studying to become an orthodontist. Mehnaz loves seeing children walk out smiling after getting their teeth cleaned, and believes that if children don’t love their dentist, it’s difficult to instill proper oral health habits for their future.
Mehnaz looks forward to helping patients have a smooth and comfortable experience at the practice.
Janet, Administrative Assistant
Janet holds an Associate of Applied Science degree and a paralegal certificate from Loyola University. Previous to joining the team at Children’s Dentistry Group, she held a position as a teacher’s aid in a special needs classroom.
Janets truly enjoys interacting with the children. Some children come to our office frightened of the “unknown” and what to expect, along with their parents. It’s a pleasure to assure them and to watch them gain confidence as they meet with our doctors and staff. She loves the smiles that she sees after the visit.
When not at work, Janet loves to travel with her fiancé on his motorcycle and they have visited many states. She loves to go antiquing and also has a small business selling motorcycle parts and antiques. Organic gardening is also a passion of hers; She loves to grow her own vegetables and share them with others.
