Norma H. Ericson, DDS - General Dentist
"I decided to pursue a career in dentistry after working as a dental assistant while studying abroad in England. After graduating, I went straight to Grove Dental and have been here for over 15 years.
"During this time, I've learned that the key to effective dentistry is a partnership between the patient, my staff and me. The entire staff gets involved in caring for and providing information regarding the patient's dental care. Then, the patient makes the best choice. This involvement in decision-making helps ensure you receive the best treatment and reach your optimal dental health."
Quality Education, Superior Treatment
"The quality of dentistry I provide stems from my disciplined and committed approach toward education and learning. But all the schooling in the world can't teach the personal attention I provide to each of my patients. It's this balance of education and personalized care that keeps patients coming back year after year."
Doctor of Dental Surgery: University of Illinois College of Dentistry
Continuing Education: Exceeds the yearly required amounts
Advancement Through Collaboration
"Major advancements in dentistry often result from the many ideas that evolve when I meet with other dentists in professional organizations. The best way I can serve you is to develop these ideas, listen to others and continue learning. Ultimately, you benefit the most from the latest knowledge."

Supplying Dentistry To Those In Need
"I remember the first time I volunteered my services abroad. Most of the people I treated could not afford one meal a day, let alone dentistry. When I saw the faces of those little children who were so happy to have someone take an interest in their health, it put a lot of perspective on what I do. It's a very special feeling to see how we profoundly influenced others' lives."
