Why We Do it
Our story
Our Community
––––––––––––––––––
Weekend Dental started with a simple idea:
Dental care should be easier to get–specially when you’re in pain.
Most dental offices open Monday through Thursday, with limited availability on Fridays and none open on weekends. Patients working long hours, juggling kids, or dealing with dental pain were left choosing between their job and their health.
Weekend Dental was created to change that. We designed our schedule, systems, and space around real – not the other way around.
Our Philosophy
––––––––––––––––––
We believe dentistry should feel human: kind, honest, and focused on what matters most to you. That includes:
-
Listening before we recommend treatment
-
Explaining options in plain language
-
Respecting your time and choices
-
Creating a space where you don’t have to feel embarrassed or judged
Whether you’re here for a toothache or a routine visit, our goal is the same:
Help you leave feeling better than when you walked in.
The Foundation
––––––––––––––––––
The Weekend-Dental was built on the concepts of freedom and simplicity.
-
I want a place where I'm always treated like a guest, with love and respect.
-
I want a place where I can understand what is going on without feeling embarrassed.
-
I want a place that I can get what I need, without needing to apologize for it.
-
I want a place where I can visit on my own time, without needing to take off work.
-
I want a place that I can trust.
If this is what you are looking for too, then come on in, let us see how we can help each other!
Meet the Dentist
Welcome to My Weekend Dental
I have been fortunate to call southern Illinois home since 2014.
I bring over 20 years of dental experience along with advanced training in both general dentistry and dental surgery, from Indiana University and University of Jordan.
My approach is simple:
Treat everyone with love and respect, because what goes around, comes around.
My personal motto is:
You shouldn't care about how much I know until you know about how much I care.

A Message to New Guests (Patients)
Many patients often meet me for the first time when they’re in pain, worried, or frustrated. That’s why my focus is always on kindness first, dentistry second. You’ll never be rushed through or made to feel guilty about how long it’s been since your last visit.
I believe great dental care starts with respect: explaining what’s going on, answering questions honestly, and making sure you feel comfortable before anything begins. Whether you need emergency care or routine treatment, you’ll always know what we’re doing and why.
From the first conversation to the last follow-up, I want you to feel like you have a partner in your dental care — someone who explains, listens, and helps you make choices you’re comfortable with.

The team that makes it special
A great experience doesn’t just come from the dentist. It takes a team that cares about details: answering questions on the phone, helping you check in, taking comfortable X-rays, and making sure you understand your treatment and costs.
Our clinical team of Guest Advocates is dedicated to one person — YOU!
We deliver care that goes beyond the ordinary, focusing on your comfort from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave.
Our priority is simple: keep everything running smoothly so you can focus on getting the care you need and getting back to your life. Delivering a dental experience centered entirely around YOU!
