Nicole Stanko

Nicole graduated from Prairie State College as a registered dental hygienist RDH, BA. She is currently up-to-date on continuing education courses. She believes having knowledge is the way to progress and improve patient management skills.

“I love being a hygienist for many reasons, I get to not only make patients healthier but I am able to share with them how oral hygiene is so important for the entire body. “

Nicole currently resides in Elgin with her family. She absolutely loves how rural and spacious it is, especially having two young children that love to be outdoors.

Nicole was an interior designer for 5 years.  Even though she enjoyed it, she decided to pursue a more stable career.

“I have been a hygienist since 2013 and never looked back! My profession means helping, understanding, listening, and most important teaching. I love my job because it’s second nature to me and I get to improve smiles!”
