Meet Our Team

I am the Office Manager of Tidy Smiles in Palatine IL, as well as English Rows Dental in Naperville IL. I have been in the Dental field for 6 years. I take pride in my role as an Office Manager with Bright Direction Dental. I have always wished to be in the position I am today and am extremely grateful for the office and staff I have. I am a wife of 16 years to an Active Duty Army Solider, and a mother to my daughters 14, and 5 years old. We love having family time, playing with our dog Queenie, and enjoy making memories together.

I am a front desk coordinator with over 10 years of experience in the dental field. I'm committed to helping patients reach their perfect smile by providing personalized care.

I have been in the dental field for about 7 years now. I truly love what I do! I am passionate about helping others and educating them on their oral health. I also love meeting and connecting with my patients. I have a 9-year-old son who I enjoy spending time my free time with. One of my favorite hobbies is spending time outdoors; I love nature and all that it offers. You can find me outdoors with my son, the gym or at home with family.

Dr. Patel chose dentistry because he wanted to have the ability to create beautiful and healthy smiles. He loves his profession, which he also describes as his passion. He completed his Doctorate in Dental Surgery at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois and his residency in Orthodontics at Indiana University. Since then, he continues to attend education courses in orthodontics to keep on top of the latest industry developments.

Dr. Norris received his Bachelor of Health Science degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia and his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California.

He was raised here in our community and, along with Doctors Goldberg and Greenebaum, is a proud Homewood-Flossmoor High School alum.

His dental career has focused on general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry, as well as oral surgery.Dr. Norris believes that doctors must educate those they serve to understand the value of their Oral Health. He also believes that doctors need to listen to their patients to learn about who they are. Through that understanding, we can truly transform their health and quality of life.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Norris enjoys weightlifting and muay thai kickboxing, as well as finding new restaurants and cooking new dishes.
