My name is Dr. Chris Szydelko. It was my pleasure to acquire Dr Gannon’s practice in 2023. I would like to share some information as an introduction to myself and the Palos Dental Group.
I am originally from the surrounding area, growing up in Blue Island and Alsip. I attended Marist Highschool and Northern Illinois University. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry in 2006. I have worked in various practice settings from a large corporate office to traditional family practices. The family-based practice is where I belong.
More about Dr. Szydelko
My philosophy for practicing dentistry is to evaluate, educate, and work together to come up with the appropriate treatment for each individual patient. What is right for one patient may not be the best option for another.
I enjoy all areas of General and Cosmetic dentistry. Everything from a simple filling to a full cosmetic reconstruction, I am here to help. I have also taken great joy in providing dental solutions for patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. If you or a loved one suffer from snoring or sleep apnea, I can provide an alternative solution to CPAP.
My interests outside of the office include gardening, traveling, and golf. Most of all, spending time with my wife Melissa, my daughter Zoe, and my son Gavin. What you can expect from Palos Dental Group is to be treated as one of the family.
