Marilou - Dental Assistant
I started working for Dr. Kidonakis since I migrated to the United States from the Philippines in 2000. Dr. Kidonakis and Patrick are the best, most awesome bosses one can ever have! We also have the nicest, friendliest bunch of patients in the world! Frankly, it feels like family here!
I love working for Smile Today Dental because, aside from the reasons stated above, my job involves a variety of responsibilities from the front desk (paperwork), to the operatory (clinical assisting), to the consultation room (patient finances). It's never boring and gives me my daily dose of exercise!
I live with my husband, Rodel, and our two kids, Carlo and Ysabelle. They are the love and joy of my life.

| I like singing, listening to music, and watching news on TV. I try to apply principles of living and loving from life guru, Tony Robbins (courtesy of the Dr.!) and enjoy learning new foreign words from our Greek, Polish, French and Laotian patients. I believe that life is too short to be too concerned about "stuff." I just try to enjoy each day as it comes and be totally grateful for whatever that day brings. |

Maria - Dental Assistant
I have been working with Dr. Kidonakis since April 2009. My main concern is to ensure that all of our patients have a pleasant and relaxing experience before and during their visit with us. At Smile Today Dental we work together as a team to provide our patients with the best possible care. It is our mission to provide a comfortable environment and to make sure everyone leaves with a smile on their face.
Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love to cook, exercise, listen to music, read, and enjoy the free time I have relaxing and having fun.

Inga - Hygienist
I joined the wonderful team of Smile Today Dental in January 2008. I graduated from Kennedy King College/ University Illinois of Chicago in 2006 with associate’s degree in Applied Science in Dental Hygiene. I am certified in the administration of local anesthesia, nitrous oxide and soft tissue management.
I have worked in the dental field since 1996 in a variety of capacities, from dental assisting to dental hygiene. I consider it a great privilege to be part of a highly professional and experienced team headed by Dr. Kidonakis. As a professional, my calling is to serve people & develop lasting relationships by promoting health & wellness through the provision of dental hygiene care. .

To add, during my years of dental hygiene work I have had extensive training and clinical experience in soft tissue management.
I continue to expand my skills by learning and implementing new techniques to provide care to my patients. In my free time I enjoy traveling all over the World and learning about new cultures. I love sailing, windsurfing, swimming and going to the beach with my golden retriever, Ezzy. I am also very passionate about photography.

Sushma - Hygienist
“I have been a part of Dr. Kidonakis Smile Today Dental Team since 2008.
If you are at the office I take care of all the Hygiene needs and my duty is to educate patients and make sure they aware of what is going on in their mouth. When they leave my room I make sure they have a smile and reason to visit us again.
The thing I like best about working Dr. Kidonakis is her motivation to stay on top of latest technology and gives 100% of her effort to patients.
During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, biking, enjoy beauty of nature and breathe fresh air. You may not know but I am strong believer of God and I believe he does everything for a reason.”
