Meet The Doctor
Dr. Kardaris
Dr. Eugenia (Jenny) Kardaris
Dr. Eugenia (Jenny) Kardaris became a dentist because she wanted to help people and wanted to eliminate oral disease.
To achieve this, Dr. Kardaris has invested a great deal of time in further education. She keeps up-to-date by annually attending leading dental seminars. She also uses the latest in advanced technology, as she believes this is important in giving the best care possible.
She has served as both a researcher and instructor at several medical institutions including Northwestern University and Washington University.
Dr. Kardaris is one of a select few doctors with hospital privileges at Mercy Hospital, which provides her the ability to continue treatment for any of her patients that have been admitted.
General Philosophy
For Dr. Kardaris, the most important factor in being a dentist, is caring about her patients, and in her own words, “not just their teeth but as humans too!” She takes the time to listen to her patients and to explain everything so that they really understand. As a result many of her patients say she is kind, empathic and caring.
She wants to help her patients overcome their fears and help them above and beyond their expectations.
