Lake Zurich Orthodontist

Say Hello to Dr. Nicole

One of Dr. Nicole’s favorite things about her job is that she gets to work alongside her husband, Dr. Cory—and she gets to work in their own community of Lake Zurich! She always enjoys getting to know our patients and their families and watching them grow and thrive thanks to our team’s care. For her, nothing is better than watching someone’s face light up when they see their new smile for the first time after having their braces removed. To start getting to know Dr. Nicole ahead of your visit, just keep reading below.

Why Did You Decide to Become an Orthodontist?

Dr. Nicole grew up surrounded by orthodontics, which, needless to say, helped to foster her interest in the field. Her parents ended up starting an orthodontic adhesive company, and her uncle was an orthodontist himself.  She was fascinated not only by its ability to move the teeth and impact someone’s function, but she also liked the genuine appreciation her uncle received from his patients. When she wasn’t working for the family business, she wanted to shadow her uncle in his office. This passion eventually led her to pursue her orthodontic degree, and she hasn’t looked back since!

Where Did You Study Orthodontics?

Dr. Nicole attended DePaul University for her undergraduate degree, and she went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Midwestern University. She then obtained a Master of Science in Dentistry as well as her orthodontic certificate from Case Western Reserve University. She’s also a proud member of the following professional organizations:

  • American Dental Association
  • American Association of Orthodontists
  • American Board of Orthodontics
  • Illinois State Dental Society
  • Midwest Society of Orthodontists
  • International & American Associations for Dental Research

Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?

Dr. Nicole is married to our own Dr. Cory, and they are the proud parents of two young daughters. Her biggest passion outside of orthodontics is cooking. She’s obsessed with the Food Network and has a celebrity crush on Ina Garten. She loves to cook for her family and cannot wait to teach her children. When it’s time to relax, she enjoys going on walks with her beloved Sheepadoodle, Betty.
