Meet Dr. Emily Koufos-Radford
There’s another Dr. Koufos in the building! Dr. Emily Koufos-Radford joined the practice in 2021 and shares the same outstanding vision for the practice as her father– to provide unmatched orthodontic care in a friendly, highly focused, and patient-first environment. As a second-generation orthodontist, she’s able to rely on her father’s mentorship in addition to her education as they guide the practice into the future!

Commitment to our communities
We strongly believe in empowering our communities by providing extensive support and sponsorship for education and athletics in local schools.
Our Munster and St. John orthodontists are committed to collaborating with local dental colleagues through our Learning Exchange program. With a series of unique seminars that provide continuing education (CE) credits for dental professionals, we aim to create an environment where ideas are shared, learning is encouraged, and greater satisfaction in life and within our field can be achieved.
For over a decade, we’ve been steadfast in our commitment to being an eco-friendly company. We take immense pride in our green practices, and one initiative we are particularly thrilled about is our collaboration with Frank H. Hammond Elementary School. Through this remarkable partnership, we have discovered a fantastic way to give back to our community by converting all of our old or used toothbrushes into playground equipment for neighboring schools. Our donation of recycled toothbrushes makes a significant impact on reducing plastic waste and contributes up to 200 pounds of re-purposed plastic each year!
