Dr. Kara Brothers, D.M.D.

I am originally from Pittsboro, Indiana and am a fan of all things Hoosiers! I majored in Neuroscience at Indiana University. It was during my time at IU that I fell in love with the field of dentistry during a mission trip to Honduras. I was able to shadow and assist multiple dentists and see the impact they made in an underserved community. Following graduation, I moved to Boston, MA where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Although dental school was very challenging, there was nothing more challenging as a Colts fan than being surrounded by Patriots fans for four years.

After graduating from dental school, I moved to Evanston, IL to start a one-year general practice residency at Northshore University Healthsystem. This residency gave me a chance to enhance my clinical skills and become a better overall healthcare provider. I took call in the emergency room and was able to treat many complex emergencies for a wide variety of patients. During this residency, I was able to perform complicated surgeries and work with special needs patients on a weekly basis. I was also able to become involved with volunteer opportunities during my residency, such as Give Kids a Smile, which provides dental care for underserved children around Chicago.  Read More
