Dr. Emelia Karkazis

Dr. Emelia Karkazis is the second eldest child of Dr. Karkazis. She has grown up watching her father care for his patients, which ignited her passion for dentistry.

Education

Dr. Emelia attended Marquette University as a seven-year pre-dental scholar graduating Summa Cum Laude in 2018 with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Emelia then graduated Magna Cum Laude from Marquette University School of Dentistry in 2021 with her D.D.S.


Dr. Emelia graduated from the University of Illinois-Chicago College of Dentistry Orthodontics Residency Program in 2024 with her M.S. Degree in Oral Sciences along with her Advanced Certificate in Orthodontics. Dr. Emelia is a Board Certified Orthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Only 60% of orthodontists nationwide are board certified - this requires many hours of extensive training, testing and certification to provide the highest quality of patient care!


Dr. Emelia is looking forward to serving her father's patients along with her brother!
