Northshore Dental Associates
Dr. Stamata Blanas DDS/Retired : Transitioned to James R Dong DDS
Dear patients and friends ,
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your trust and confidence, and for allowing me to care for your dental needs over the past thirty-two years. Please know that I not only saw you as a patient, but as an extension of my family, who raised me to strive for excellence in everything that I do.
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from dentistry to pursue other endeavors including travel. I will always carry with me the stories, thoughts, and ideas we shared together over the years.
To ensure that my patients continue to receive the best care possible, I have carefully evaluated a number of candidates who were interested in assuming my practice. I set out to find a candidate who focuses on patients’ individual needs and takes the time to listen to their concerns—someone who strives to be a gentle healer. I have selected James R Dong DDS, whom I believe possesses these qualities and is well-skilled in the advanced and traditional phases of dentistry.
His practice will transition with my current practice, in Suite 322 in the Carlson building, so neither you nor your health records will be displaced from this office location.
Dr. James Dong is a 1988 graduate of Northwestern University Dental School and has proudly served the Evanston community as a general dentist for the past 35 years. He has also served as an attending dentist with the North Shore University Health System at the Evanston Hospital for the past 12 years, where he now serves as the director of the dental residency program. A lifelong resident of the Chicago area, he and his wife are the proud parents of three sons who all attended the Evanston public school system. In his spare time, Jim enjoys cooking, listening to music, tinkering with his stereo system, and riding hie new e-bike.
Thank you for your loyalty and confidence; I will miss each and every one of you very much, but I know you will be in good hands with Dr. James Dong.
If you have any questions or want to schedule an appointment with Dr. Dong, DDS, you can call 847-475-4544 (formerly, North Shore Dental Associates), now transferred to James Dong, DDS.
καλή ζωή (Good life) to everyone,
Dr. Stamata Blanas, DDS
