THE TEAM
COURTNEY MORGAN-MICHAELS, DMD
Dr. Courtney Morgan-Michaels grew up in Pontiac, Illinois. She loved her time at Illinois State University where she graduated with a bachelor's in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. She went on to receive her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Southern Illinois University in 2015.
After graduating, she worked as a family and cosmetic dentist in Chicago while her husband finished his residency at Northwestern University.
Dr. Courtney enjoys treating patients of all ages, from young children to the elderly, along with patients of special needs and dental anxiety. She is very compassionate and takes time to get to know each of her patients in order to develop a treatment plan that best suits their individual needs.
While not practicing dentistry, Dr. Courtney is a mom to her daughter Scarlett. She also enjoys watching the Cardinals beat the Cubs (usually), exercising, cooking, baking, and spending time with her family and friends.

Janeen Tronc, RDH
Gabby Mutchler, RDH
Cinthia Perez, RDH
Cinthia is one of our full time hygienist in the office. Born and raised in Normal, IL (even though she still struggles to name street names!) the good thing is she for sure knows her way to the office where she always comes in happy and in high spirits. She loves getting the chance to help educate and bring healthier smiles into the world! Prior to becoming a RDH, Cinthia was a dental assistant for about 4 years so she has seen the dental world through both preventative and restorative eyes. Outside of work she is always making time for family, friends, and the gym. She loves to always be outside doing something new but can also appreciate a nice, relaxing day inside watching movies.
