Dr. Ellie Meyer – Dentist
I am so honored and humbled to be working alongside my dad – providing compassionate and detail -oriented dental results to our patients.
I grew up in Mt. Prospect and am the oldest of Dr. Tom and Padra’s five children. I attended the University of St. Thomas and graduated magna cum laude with a degree in biochemistry.
I was a four-year starting volleyball player for the Tommies and earned the distinction of both athletic and academic All-American.
My dental education began at Marquette University School of Dentistry where I graduated top in my class and spent time caring for dental patients in the Milwaukee area. I am extremely excited to deliver high quality comprehensive care to the patients of the Meyer Dental Group.
In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, cooking, and trying new restaurants with my fiancé, Joe.

Padra Meyer – Office Manager
Building Meyer Dental Group alongside Tom has been one of my greatest joys. As the office administrator, I’ve been fortunate to play a key role in our success. My love for family and community has always been my biggest motivation, and I’m proud to help create a welcoming, caring environment for our patients.
I often call the dental office my “home away from home” and we purposefully designed the Mt. Prospect office to reflect a comfortable, home setting. There is no place that I love going more, as I get to see our wonderful patients and friends every day, and I also am blessed to spend time working with our amazing team of the best dental professionals!
I’m proud to help create a welcoming, caring environment for our patients and our dental team.
On our days off, I do enjoy spending time running, and “tri” training and hanging out with our 5 kiddos.
Chris – Hygiene Team Member
I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist since 1991 and have been with Meyer Dental Group since 2013. The relationships I have built with our Meyer Dental Group patients over the years are one of the greatest joys in my professional career.
Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor activities and spending time with family.
Jae – Dental Hygienist
I am a dedicated dental hygienist who takes pride in providing ethical, thoughtful, and personalized care to each of my patients. I try to keep challenging myself, staying curious, and learning new things, whether that’s picking up a new hobby or diving into a topic that catches my interest. I firmly believe that staying up to date with new technologies and developments in the dental field helps me become a more knowledgeable and effective provider. I treat every patient like family, always prioritizing quality care over rushing through appointments.
To me, life is about meaningful connections with nature, with loved ones, and with myself. I love spending time outdoors, laughing, and sharing stories with the people I care about, and just taking time to reflect and grow. It’s those real, honest connections that make life feel full. I love going out to eat and trying new dishes, but nothing beats a good homemade meal. I’m lucky to have a mom and a boyfriend who both love to cook, and I proudly take on the role of best sous chef!
Fran – Hygiene Team Member
I’m so thankful to be practicing dental hygiene with my longtime dental family at the Meyer Dental Group! I have been a member of the team since 1999, where I have spent many wonderful years raising a family and treating our patients at the original MDG office. Now I am so proud to be at the Mount Prospect location. Together with Dr Tom and Dr Ellie , we strive to provide our patients with the best of both preventative and restorative oral health care!
When not working, I enjoy watching our Chicago sports teams, performing and watching local live musical events and spending time with my adult children, who are my life’s best achievements!
Looking forward to seeing you at the office soon!
Kelly – New Patient Appointment and Treatment Coordinator
After joining Meyer Dental Group in 2005, I finally found my work “home;” finding a multi-generation family practice that balances both advancement in technology and true care for patients. As the New Patient Coordinator, I’m lucky to be able to welcome new patients into the office helping to identify and have a hand in them achieving their smile goals. I enjoy working closely with the doctors to help create a treatment plan truly catered to each individual need. Through countless hours of continuing education courses in everything from the importance of airway assessment and advancements in dental technology to optimal office operations and digital photography in dentistry, I can wholeheartedly say Dr Meyer’s goal of keeping our team and our patients educated is truly cutting edge.
When not at work, I love just being with my family and friends, and scrolling through all the Pinterest pages and Instagram reels!
