Meet Tiffany
Hi! My name is Tiffany. I have worked at Grins Pediatric Dentistry since January of 2018 but have worked in pediatric dentistry since 2001. I love working with children because at heart I'm just a big kid. I think kids are so fun and make coming to work exciting. The greatest joy of the last 20 years has been helping fearful patients leave the office happy. In my free time I like to spend time with my family and friends. My husband, son, and I love playing with Lego and spending time at local playgrounds with friends.
Meet Ariel

Aside from work I enjoy spending time with my son Benjamin and our dog Willow. We enjoy spending time outdoors and love summertime in Chicago.
Meet Megan
Hi, my name is Megan and I have been a dental assistant at Grins Pediatric Dentistry since December 2019. As a pediatric dental assistant, I enjoy showing children that going to the dentist can be fun and teaching them how to keep their teeth clean! During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, Violet. We like to cook, travel, and try new restaurants together.
Meet Becky
Hi my name is Becky. I have been with Grins Pediatric Dentistry since April 2022. Going to the dentist can be hard for a kid especially for the first time. One of my most rewarding parts of my job is eliminating these fears and anxieties. I love to explain to the children what we are doing and help them look forward to visiting the office again. I am a proud parent of three boys who have kept me busy with football and wrestling. During my free time my husband and I enjoy going on motorcycle trips.
Meet Tracey

I love my daily interactions with the children and families as they visit our offices. During my free time, I enjoy cheering my son on at hockey, spending time with my family, going on bike rides and traveling.
Meet Maddy
Hi my name is Maddy. I have worked at Grins Pediatric Dentistry since February 2024. As a pediatric dental assistant, I love welcoming kids into the office and helping alleviate their fears about coming to the dentist. In my free time, I love spending time with my niece and nephews. I also love baking, reading, visiting new cafes around Chicago, and playing with my hamster Gwen.
Meet Aya
Howdy! My name is Aya and I have been a patient treatment coordinator at Grins since September of 2023. It’s been such a joy working with our dedicated team and our wonderful patients. As the first point of contact in the office, I make sure to establish a warm, safe and engaging atmosphere for the children, so as to distract from the anxiety that may come with dental visits. I love staying active and social in my free-time, from weight-lifting with friends to ice skating with my siblings. I’m also quite the stickler for oral hygiene!
