"Our patients are great because they are always on board with us. They are as excited as we are to integrate and apply new technology to our treatments, making our office one of the leaders in orthodontics." 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 University of Illinois in Chicago, and started the Masters of Engineering and Management program at Northwestern University. Before beginning the practice with her husband, she worked for Baxter Pharmaceutical Corporation in Deerfield, Illinois, and at RR Donnelly & Sons Printing Company in Chicago. It is at these positions that 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. 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 W.
