Hello!

My name is Agnieszka (Agnes) Kumar.  Born in Gdansk, Poland, I grew up in the greater Chicago area and graduated from Crystal Lake South High School.  I went on to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology Honors Program.  I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in the top 15% of my class.  I was indoctrinated into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society as well as awarded the Periodontal Excellence Award.  I have completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program, where I trained hands on, with a specialist in each field of dentistry.

I was a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy and served as a general dentist at Great Lakes Naval Center, Illinois, with extensive experience in oral surgery, endodontics, restorative dentistry, and periodontics.  My professional memberships include the American Dental Association (ADA), the Illinois State Dental Society (ISDS), the McHenry County Dental Society (MSDS), as well as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).

I take pride in my work, providing utmost quality with great focus on patient comfort.  I am passionate about beautiful teeth and healthy mouths.  I love to restore a patient's confidence in their smile and restore a "needy" mouth to full oral health.  There is nothing more professionally satisfying than to maintain one's adult teeth for a lifetime.

I have an excellent team that is dedicated to serving my patients.  I am really proud of them!  It is their tireless enthusiasm, spontaneity, and drive to help others that defines our practice and makes my patients feel so comfortable here.

I am married to Avatans, originally from India, and we have a wonderful daughter, Adya (born 2002).  When out of office, I enjoy being a Mom and spending time with family.  I love to run (Crystal Lake Half Marathon 20092006Care 4 Breast Cancer 5K 2007 ) and read good novels as well.  I thank God everyday for the blessing in my life.

We are proud to be involved in our community and we volunteer our time and resources in giving back to the community. In addition to participating in events such as Give Kids a Smile, my office supports various area schools (including Crystal Lake South, Crystal Lake Central, Prairie Ridge High School) and churches (including St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Elizabeth Anne Seton). We also support Crystal Lake Park District and we have been a proud co-sponsors of the Crystal Lake Half Marathon.
