What Do You Like
Most About Being a
Pediatric Dentist?
Dr. Sonia finds it extremely exciting to watch a patient grow up and see their personality develop and emerge! She tends to form very strong attachments with each child – in fact, they feel like a member of her family! That’s what makes it so hard when they eventually become young adults and have to say goodbye and transition to an adult dentist.
Where Did You
Study Dentistry?
Dr. Sonia graduated at the top of her class in dental school from the Health Sciences University (CES) in her native Colombia. From there, she attended a pediatric dentistry residency at the University of Illinois, Chicago College of Dentistry, followed by the completion of her Master of Science from the same university. Today, she is a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry!
As for continuing education, Dr. Sonia feels that it is absolutely essential to stay up to date with new technologies, concepts, and techniques related to pediatric dentistry, which is why she participates in countless trainings throughout each year. This ensures that her special patients receive the most effective, proven, and gentle care possible.
