DENTAL CARE IN FRANFORT, IL.

Morgan T.

Front Office Manager

I have been with the office since early 2023. While I am a certified dental assistant, I have come to realize that I enjoy the accounting and insurance side of dentistry a little bit more. I am so grateful to have learned so much from my amazing coworkers and have grown into the role of office manager. I look forward to learning more and always happy to assist with any billing or scheduling questions.

When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and working out. 

Laura F.

Assistant Office Manager

I have been in the dental field for over 40 years. I attended Loyola University School of Dentistry and Moraine Valley Community College. I started my career as a dental assistant and later moving into the administrative side as an insurance coordinator, treatment coordinator, and office manager.

I truly love my career! I have had the amazing opportunity to work with Dr. Perry and this amazing team as an office manager for the past 5 years. As I transition, into the next phase of my life, I am so happy to continue to support the office as the assistant manager. It is always a pleasure to work with our family of patients and help them achieve a brilliant smile and overall dental health while addressing any concerns along the way. I am always happy to assist in any way to make sure their dental experience is positive.

When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband Wally, my daughter Jenna, and our son-in-law Ryan and of course our dog Taco. I also love to travel as much as we can, shop, garden, read, take walks with Taco, and spend time with our circle of family and friends.

Sharon V.

Lead Dental Assistant

I have been a dental assistant for 41 years. For 31 of those years, I was blessed to have worked with Dr. Michael Perry and look forward to continuing care alongside Dr. Sanchez! I am so lucky to be working with my team of coworkers, who are also my friends! I enjoy being part of a team that always gives the best possible care.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Brad for 39 years. We have two beautiful daughters, Megan and Mandi, a wonderful son-in-law, Andrew, along with a precious granddaughter Millie James!


When I am not working, I like to hang out with my friends and family, (especially Millie), love reading, watching baseball (Go Sox) and football (Go Bears) with my hubby! I am lucky to still have my sweet 89-year-old mother and be able to help with her care. Also, I am a licensed Real Estate agent in my spare time!

Andrea

Floating Dental Assistant

I am currently a junior in college. I am working towards my degree while gaining experiences as a floating assistant. I really enjoy the flexibility of this role since I get to help around the office, allowing me to learn something new every day. I am grateful to be surrounded by such a supportive team and I look forward to continuing to grown and learn!
I always enjoyed science, and I find that working in healthcare, dentistry more specifically, has provided me an opportunity to connect my studies with hands-on experience. 
Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my mom and sister. I am a huge book worm, so if I am not hanging out with them, I am picking up a book! 

Laura S.

Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been in the dental field for 43 years. I have been privileged to worked for Dr. Michael Perry for 33 of those years. In those 33 years, the culture of the office has been family oriented and that same atmosphere continues with Dr. Angelica Sanchez.

I truly love being a hygienist and providing care for all our wonderful patients. Thank you for trusting our wonderful team with your dental health needs. I look forward to many more years with you.

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Don, for 40 years. We are blessed with two wonderful children, Brandon and Amanda. I am blessed to still have my mom and mother-in-law in my life. Family is everything to me.

When I am not at work I love to go for walks, work in my yard, bake and spend time with friends. We love going to Cubs games, cheering on the Bears, and all my favorite college teams! We are also big Disney fans, and love taking trips as a family to the Disney Parks.  

Inga S.

Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been a hygienist with Dr. Perry for 20 years and now have the pleasure of working with our new team leader Dr. Sanchez! I get emotionally attached to my patients and provide them with a very friendly experience. At this point, they are all my friends!

I have been with my handsome Italian stallion husband Rick for 25 years. We have been blessed with an awesome daughter and son. While I like to say I am staying locked at 27, I know time is going by quickly. Some patients may even be surprised if I told them Presleigh is a junior in college and Jaxon is a freshman in high school. We find ourselves on the sidelines watching Jaxon playing high school football or watching him competitively trap shoot. We love to travel. Hawaii is a family favorite where we try to visit often. You might find us at Disney skipping down Main Street with cheesy matching shirts and ears. I love hanging out with friends and family and love to craft. 

Michelle Y.

I have been treating patients for over 40 years. I love the flexibility of dentistry and it has allowed me to have a long career in the dental hygiene field. 
I am a mom of two grown sons and have 4 grandchildren. When I am out of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, my sweet dog Sally, and redecorating the dollhouse my dad made for me as a child. My goal is to get a real working TV in it.

Tracy

Hygienist

I obtained my degree in dental hygiene from Prairie State College in 1996. What I love most about my job is the one-on-one interaction with patients and the relationships we form. I treat patients with the compassion and care they deserve while working together to achieve a healthy, amazing smile.
You can find me in the office on Wednesdays.
I am married, have four sons, and two golden doodles. Outside the office, I love time with family and friend, cooking, baking, cruising, and walking the doggies. 

Alice

Hygienist

I have been practicing dental hygiene for over 40 years. And I still love it! Building trust and confidence with patients in my care is very important to me. Seeing them relax in my chair and enjoy their dental visit is terrific! I believe in improving dental health with gentle, thorough, preventative care as well as through technology and patient education. It is amazing to learn the latest technology and I enjoy using it to enhance the dental experience. Helping patients recognize the long-term benefits of a healthy mouth can enhance the outcome of clinical care. Even after having over 40 years of experience, I am excited to see all the advancements that help give patients healthy, beautiful smiles.


When I am not treating patients, I enjoy riding my bike, spending time with my children and grandchildren, and enjoying the outdoors in Michigan.

Leah

I have been a dental hygienist for more than 30 years and remain passionate about helping patients protect and maintain their oral health through preventive care.
My husband and I have called Tinley Park home for over 25 years, where we have raised our 3 adult children. 
Outside of the office, I enjoy reading, watching movies and TV, traveling and most of all, spending time with my family. 

Vanessa

Hygienist

I earned my Dental Hygiene degree from Prairie State College and have been practicing since 2017 in both private practices and community-based clinics.
My focus is on providing care that is thorough, respectful, and tailored to each patient’s needs. I understand that dental visits are not always easy for everyone, so I try to create a space where patients feel heard, informed, and comfortable. Whether it is offering a little extra reassurance during a cleaning or helping a patient understand their oral health better, I am always looking for ways to make a positive impact.


When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three daughters. Between soccer games and gymnastic meets, I love exploring new coffee shops and spending time outdoors.

Peggy

Hygienist

With over 8 years of experience in dental hygiene, I am dedicated to providing high-
quality, compassionate care to every patient. I hold an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene
from Malcolm X College and attended St. Francis College earning a Bachelor’s of Science in
Healthcare Management. I enjoy building relationships with patients and educating them on the importance of their oral health. I have a strong interest in the connection between gum disease and overall systemic health and am committed to staying informed on the latest research to better support patients' total well-being. I am deeply committed to oral health education and I am also a clinical instructor of Dental Hygiene at the City Colleges of Chicago, where I enjoy mentoring future dental professionals.

Outside the office, I love spending time with my family. You will often find me outdoors
tending to my garden or diving into my next DIY project.
