Meet the Team of Michigan Avenue Dental Associates
Our exceptionally professional and friendly support staff is one of our office's greatest asset. We are excited what we are doing, and we have high standards of quality and integrity. We are motivated to achieve the best results possible for our family of patients. All or our dental assistants and hygienists bring many years of clinical experience and many hours of state of the art training.
Our support staff is divided into two teams. Our business office support team composed of two full time receptionists, a part time insurance coordinator and a full time business office manager. In our clinical treatment area our support staff is comprised of our hygienists, chairside assistants, sterilization manager and full time clinic support manager. The clinic support staff meets briefly each morning to coordinate the staff's responsibilities for the day. Once a week the entire office's staff meets to coordinate the clinical area activities with the front desk's activities in order to provide our patients with optimal care from the time they arrive at our office to the time they leave.
We would like to consider our patient's as part of our away-from-home family and strive to provide them with the same conscientious care as we would provide to members of our immediate families.

Michigan Avenue Dental Associates's Office Serving Chicago, Illinois
We are celebrating our 100th Anniversary as a Dental Practice!
We are the oldest (since 1911) continuing operating dental group practice in Chicago's downtown and take great pride in the thousands of patients who voluntarily come to our office for their dental care needs.
As a new patient to our office you will be seen by Dr. James. He will perform the initial examination and consult with you concerning your particular needs. Here at our group practice you will enjoy the advantage of treatment by your individual dentist, and the on-site availability of other general dentists or specialists should your dentist seek consultation with another dentist or if you need emergency treatment when your dentist is not available or if your general dentist determines there is a need to refer you for treatment for specialty care.
One hour prior to the doctor seeing his first patient the staff arrives at work and begins their daily ritual of cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing instruments and the operatories. Our sterilization procedures meet or exceed The Center For Disease Control guidelines. We heat sterilize all handpieces and instruments after each use. And for additional reassurance and vigilance of our sterilization methods we employ an outside independent third party contractor to monitor and test our sterilization equipment weekly.
