Dr. Emily was raised over the river in Illinois where she danced and sang her way through childhood. Her aspirations were to become a musical star on broadway, but alas her very wise father brought up utilizing her peppy personality to help others. Combining art, science, comforting others and business, he suggested dentistry. Plain old dentistry just wouldn’t do. Pediatric Dentistry sounded way more FUN. A passion emerged.
