Dr. Cardona obtained her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Prior to that she had earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Universidad del Valle, Cali-Colombia and a Master of Science in Biology from Texas A&M University where she graduated summa cum laude.

Dr. Cardona’s dedication to her profession has led her to be inducted to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, National Dental Honor Society, a designation reserved for dentists who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance and high clinical skills during their training. She also is the recipient of multiple recognitions, such as the Outstanding Achievement Award of the Academy of Operative Dentistry.

Providing the most advanced dental care in a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere are main priorities for Dr. Cardona. In her own words “Smiles open doors and opportunities, they have a great impact in the way people perceive us, and even in the way we perceive ourselves. I feel fortunate and it makes me very happy to be able to educate and provide the necessary treatments so that my patients can smile freely and confidently!”

When not helping people achieve or maintain a healthy, functional and beautiful smile, Dr. Cardona enjoys running along the Chicago lakefront, swimming and dancing.
