STAFF

Samantha - Registered Dental Hygienist

Samantha has been with our office since the fall of 2019. She graduated from the Prairie State College Dental Hygiene Program and went on to receive her Bachelor of Science Degree from Minnesota State University in 2014. She grew up in Crestwood and is a graduate of Shepard High School. Sam has experience working in both general and pediatric dentistry, and loves that McNicholas Dental has patients of all ages! In addition to working at our office, Sam is an adjunct clinical instructor for dental hygiene students at Prairie State College. We love that Sam cares so much about her patients and their oral health that she will go above and beyond to teach the proper dental hygiene techniques, show pictures, and suggest products that could help improve their oral care routine. In her free time, she is most likely watching baseball or hockey with her husband, spending time with her two daughters, or cracking up at a comedy show. 

Daniella - Dental Assistant/Front Desk

Daniella started her dental career at McNicholas Dental in the summer of 2021 as a dental assistant and front desk help. She was originally from Brighton Park and then moved to Oak Lawn with her family where she graduated from Oak Lawn High School in 2020. Daniella has always loved the dental field and she loves to help nervous patients feel more relaxed at the dental office with her sense of humor and kind smile. In addition to working at our office, Daniella works at a pediatric dental office because she loves working with kids so much! We love that Daniella is detail-oriented and is great at keeping our office organized, beautifully decorated for holidays, and always running smoothly! In her free time, Daniella likes to spend time with her 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old twins, shop for anything pink, and go out to eat with her family.

Caity - Office Manager/Front Desk

Caity has worked at McNicholas Dental since early 2014 and has worn many hats along the way- from dental assisting, to internal marketing, to tech support, to scheduling and billing, and to now managing the office. She grew up in Palos Heights, where she attended St. Alexander School and then Marist High School. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Indiana University, and then went on to get her Master's Degree in Information Security from Lewis University. She enjoys working alongside her dad, Dr. Bob, and being able to continue growing the McNicholas family practice that her grandpa started in Mount Greenwood so many years ago. Outside of work, Caity likes to spend time with her husband and 3 kids, watch football, road trip, and cheer on the Indiana Hoosiers.
