Our Schaumburg, IL Office

I’ve been the practice manager at Silc Periodontics…Learn more about us on the homepage… for more than 11 years. The best part of my job is the variety of challenges I face every day. By solving them, I get to learn something new about myself every time. As a manager, I have a mantra: “let cooler heads prevail.”

Interesting fact:
I’ve avidly practiced yoga my whole life (long before it was cool!), and once a year, I plan a yoga retreat vacation.

My husband Ted and I enjoy life in Huntley with our two chihuahua’s Molly & Gigi.

In my role as our Patient Advocate (aka Patient Coordinator), I help you navigate the sometimes-confusing world of periodontics, insurance, and financing. I aim to calm your fears and answer all your questions so you may have a pleasant and enjoyable dental experience.

Interesting fact:
I have two grandchildren with special needs. Therefore, I am passionate about supporting “Cure JM” and Autism Speaks Foundations.

I have lived in Illinois my whole life. I am currently living in Carol Stream. I have two beautiful grown daughters and four grandkids.

Why did you choose dentistry?
I got involved with dentistry because I love helping people and enjoy seeing them have a great experience.

What is the best part of your job?
Working for a great practice that is well established and has a good following like Silc Periodontics. I love working with Dr. Silc and all my team members, they make coming to work very enjoyable. It is so nice to see patients come in with smiles on their faces because they are visiting a practice that makes them feel like part of our extended family.

What aspect of your personality adds the most value to the office?
I feel that I am a people person and I want to treat patients how I would like to be treated.

What do you do outside of the office?
I love spending time with my four grandkids whenever I can. I also love being outdoors, whether I am out for a walk with friends, or listening to music. I usually try to get to Fox Lake as much as possible during the warm months to go boating with my family.

What’s one item on your bucket list?
Going to Nashville to see all the history and music clubs.

I was raised in the Chicago suburbs, and currently there with my husband, Nick, and our daughter, Noelle.

I’ve always taken delight in helping people while getting to know them on a personal basis. Dentistry allowed me to do this every day!

I love seeing you progress through your treatment and improve your life. I always try to put myself in your shoes and understand how you might be feeling.

I feel so lucky to work in an office with a strong team that provides a positive working atmosphere.

Interesting fact:
One item from my bucket list is to travel to Bora Bora with my husband.

I was born and raised in Poland but came to the US at a young age. I have a great husband, two wonderful children, and two awesome grandkids.

I’ve always wanted to work with people, and dentistry seemed the perfect way to do so. Being a part of the many treatments we do is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m happy to help in any way I can.

Interesting fact:
I love to zip line and go wild water rafting.

I currently live in McHenry with my husband, two daughters, and grandson.

I chose dental assisting because I believe it allows me to get to know my patients on a personal level. Seeing you leave with a smile on your face and knowing you had a good experience is the best part of my job. Understanding and caring for you and your family is something I also genuinely enjoy.

Interesting fact:
Outside of the office, I like to spend time with my husband, my two daughters, and my grandson. I also like bicycling, boating, and snowmobiling.
