FOUNDER & CLINICAL DIRECTOR – BLOOMINGDALE, IL

Get To Know Dr. Rajul Patel

Dr. Patel first opened the doors to our Chicago dental office in 2010, and well over a decade later, she still finds plenty of fulfillment in enhancing smiles and helping patients rediscover their self-confidence! If you’re ready to start working towards better, brighter teeth, don’t hesitate to give her a call here in Bloomingdale. You can also learn more about her by continuing to read below.

While in college, Dr. Patel had a physics lab partner who introduced her to her sister. The sister worked as a dentist and was currently searching for an assistant. At that time, Dr. Patel wasn’t sure if she wanted to pursue the medical field or dentistry in particular – but she started working for her and was quickly inspired! Whether through alleviating dental pain or completely transforming a smile, the dentist was able to change people’s lives for the better every single day, and she wanted to provide that same level of immediate gratification. The rest, they say, is history.

After graduating from Loyola University in Chicago, Dr. Patel pursued her dental doctorate at New York University College of Dentistry. Continuing education has been very important to her over the years; she’s completed numerous workshops with Spear Education, along with training in CEREC, BOTOX, oral conscious sedation, Invisalign, and more. Currently, she is a member of the American Dental Association and the Illinois State Dental Society.

Nothing makes Dr. Shammaa happier than seeing his patients’ faces after he takes off their braces and they get to look at their new smiles for the first time.

Dr. Shammaa completed his initial dental education at the University of Minnesota, and he went on to earn a Master of Science degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from West Virginia University.
