Dr. Eckdahl's Story

Dr. Emily Eckdahl

Hi Friend!

Like you, I’m passionate about my family. It’s that kind of love that drives us to treat every patient we serve. My father owned a private practice medical office while I was growing up, and it was his one-on-one, traditional approach to family care that inspired me to practice the way I do.

I believe the world needs more love, and love begins with a smile! That’s what we’re about – crafting smiles that boost confidence, bring happiness, and spread more love in the world. And rest assured, we'll always remain family-owned, family-operated - so that patients always come first.

Born and raised in Cleveland, OH, I moved to Milwaukee to attend Marquette Dental School. I live in the lovely community of Brookfield with my husband, two kids (Scarlett & Peyton) and our German Shepherd (Ember).When I'm not serving patients, I enjoy home remodeling, gardening, cooking with my family, trying new restaurants, and exploring area parks with our kids.

I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our dental family.

See you soon!

Dr. Eckdahl
