Anna Razdolsky

Operational Manager

Most of Anna’s work is done behind the scenes. Her duties include overseeing the smooth operation of delivering beautiful smiles, handling the budget, recruiting and training, inspiring our personnel, and of course, keeping the doctor on his toes! Anna’s favorite thing about orthodontics is the smiles that are born from the science! What she likes best about working with her husband is his infinite eagerness and passion toward his work, patients, and staff. Anna is always very enthusiastic, and like Dr. Razdolsky, always has a glowing positive attitude, with a “can do” approach. She is proud to be part of a family practice that utilizes and constantly updates its technologies and procedures to stay in the forefront of orthodontic care.

Anna started this practice with her husband, Dr. Razdolsky, in 1985. She has a bachelor’s degree in math and computer science from the University of Illinois in Chicago, and started the Master of Engineering and Management program at Northwestern University. Before beginning the practice with her husband, she worked for Baxter Pharmaceutical Corporation in Deerfield, and at RR Donnelly & Sons Printing Company in Chicago. At these positions, she developed her talent for designing computer software and enhanced her marketing and management skills.

Anna played a major role in the global diffusion of the Distraction Osteogenesis technique and the promotion of the Razdolsky Osteodistraction Devices (ROD appliances).

Anna has been honored by the U of I President’s Council with an Award as a Lifetime Member. She also received the Parent of the Year Award at Montessori School of Lake Forest for her commitment to school and volunteer work. 

She loves kids and is committed to educating everyone about the importance of oral health. That’s why she founded Forever Smiles Publishing in 2016 to help children and their parents understand the value of oral care and orthodontic treatment through storytelling.

Anna was born in Ukraine, and has lived in the Chicago area since 1977. During her free time, she enjoys doing volunteer work at schools, supporting sport teams, traveling, reading, dancing, and most importantly, spending time with her family.

Brenda

Treatment Coordinator

I have been working with Dr. Razdolsky’s Forever Smiles Team since July 2004 as a treatment coordinator. I left the practice for a brief moment and realized that Forever Smiles is definitely my home away from home. I enjoy meeting and building wonderful relationships with the patients and becoming part of their lives. It is the most rewarding and satisfying position to be able to see smiles being transformed. I love working with Dr. Razdolsky because he is a wonderful educator and is truly passionate and dedicated about his work as an orthodontist, which is reflected in his patients’ beautiful smiles.

I have two children, Triston and Lucas. I have been happily married for more than a dozen years to my husband Tracy. In my free time, I love taking road trips with my family. My favorite hobbies are shopping, shopping, and more shopping!

Orthodontic Assistant

I have been a part of Dr. Razdolsky’s Forever Smiles Team since 1994. I have a Doctorate in Dental Sciences from the University of the East, Philippines, and a master’s degree in orthodontics from the University of the Philippines.  I love working with Dr. Razdolsky's innovative ideas and being in the forefront of technological advances.  It is a joy to see the impact of life transformation given to each patient during and after orthodontic treatment. Orthodontics has always been my first love, going back to my days as an undergraduate. I have been in the field of dentistry since 1987.

In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music and attending broadway shows and crafting, beside spending time with my family and friends. You may not know that I speak Mandarin, Taiwanese dialect, and Filipino.

Being able to work with such a well-known and respected orthodontist as Dr. Razdolsky is truly a privilege.

Ivana

Financial Coordinator

I recently received my Associates in Arts and started at Forever Smiles on the 11th of October in 2021. I am the Financial Coordinator in the office, helping out with whatever needs to be done and supporting my coworkers. I help with the schedule, but I mostly handle insurance and payments. 

I dabble in drawing a realistic manga-like style of different characters from multiple pieces of media. I’ve made a regular hobby in writing creatively crafted stories with unexpected twists and interesting concepts that personally interest me. My free time is mostly spent on video games, how they’re made, the story behind them, the continuing sagas, and my own playthroughs of some titles.

I love being a part of Dr. Razdolsky’s team because everyone is so committed to giving every single patient their forever smile with the latest technology in a fun, upbeat environment.

In my free time you will find me outside in my garden, spending time with my nieces and nephews, or cuddled up with my animals reading. I especially love winter, as I am an avid snowmobile rider.
