Aida

Director of Operations

Aida

My name is Aida.

I graduated Dental Hygiene School in 2001 with highest honors and was recipient of the prestigious Golden Scaler Award.

I am happy to say that I have been part of Lake Forest Smiles since then!

In addition to being Registered Dental Hygienist, I also studied extensively in the field of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, Buteyko Breathing Techniques, Dental Sleep Medicine and Temporomandibular Disorders. 

I consider myself very lucky to be a part of an ever growing and patient-oriented dental office.

My passion drives me to explore the newest technologies and techniques while also learning about cutting edge research and recommendations to help our patients achieve and maintain healthy gums, teeth and overall health. I also love teaching other dental office teams about debilitating effects of sleep apnea, myofunctional disorders and therapy and temporomandibular disorders as well as proper breathing techniques.

Most recently, I have taken a new role as the Director of Operations at our office.

I love seeing my teammates grow and office flourish with endless support from Dr. Campbell, Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Steingreaber!

In addition, I am a member of American Dental Hygienist Association and American Academy of Physiologic Medicine and Dentistry.

Love coming to work every day and consider this office my second family.

In my spare time I love taking long walks and enjoy nature with my family.

Traveling and exploring different cultures with my husband Goran and our son Tony is another passion of mine!

I love listening to our patients stories, watch their families grow and succeed!

I always look forward to meet new patients and establish a new wonderful relationship.

Julie

Administrative Team

Julie

I grew up in the Lake County area.  After high school, I went immediately into the work world and got my first job as a surgical assistant for a periodontist.  I have always had a passion for surgery and caring for people.  It was at this time that I knew I found my career.

In 1992, I came to work for Dr. Campbell the first time and became his office manager.  Dr. Schmidt had been with us for about one year when I left due to a career change into the software and computer side of dentistry.  I spent the next 13 years training dental professionals how to use dental software.

When my husband and I moved to Sycamore, I returned to my passion as a surgical assistant for a dental implant practice.  I worked my way to become their treatment coordinator and implant coordinator.  When my husband transferred back to Lake County, I re-joined (20 years later) the team at Lake Forest Smiles.  It still feels like home and I am lucky enough to work with my sister, Cassie, and my daughter Rachel.

In my free time, my heart is with my family.  There is nothing better than spending time with our five adult children, their spouses, our grandkids, my sister and her family, and our grandpups!  I love weight training and have recently joined the Peloton team. I look forward to meeting you.

I have been in the dental field for two, going on three months now.

I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and moved to this area when I was a teenager in high school. My boyfriend and I have a daughter, Farrah, and she’s one year old. She is an amazing baby that brings light to the darkest room with the slightest bit of effort. I love to spend time with them when I’m not in the office and be surrounded by loved ones. I’m very excited to be here helping the doctors give our patients healthy smiles & confidence!
