Dr. Michael Slavin
Periodontist
Solving Your Healthcare Needs
“I tell my patients exactly the way things are. I do not “sugar coat” procedures, so my patients are fully informed.”
Dr. Slavin was born and raised in Chicago. Growing up as the last of six children he wanted to have a big family of his own. Now he has six children (four boys and two girls) and a labradoodle dog named Webster, and a cat named, Mister.
Our doctor chose dentistry (specifically periodontics) because it allowed him to use his creative and artistic abilities, as well as, scientific knowledge to solve patients healthcare needs. For him, the best part of his job is to be able to participate in the process of solving significant or complex oral health and medical issues.
Dr. Slavin’s main interests in dentistry are periodontics, dental implants, bone and soft tissue grafting. He is a board-certified periodontist and has been awarded the title of Top Periodontist in Chicago Magazine for the years of 2016, 2017, and 2018 through the votes of his peers.
Outside of the office, he enjoys to swim, bike, run and play tennis, also, to spend time with his children.
