Meet Dr. Valerie Swan
Dr. Valerie Swan was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia. She graduated high school at age 16, receiving a gold medal for completing every year of her matriculation with Highest Honors and majoring in Mathematics and Physics. Dr. Swan then traveled to the United States as an exchange student, and after being awarded the prestigious Distinguished Scientist Scholarship, she completed her Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Synthetic Organic Chemistry. Dr. Swan then went to earn her Master of Science Degree with Highest Honors from the world-renowned Johns Hopkins University with concentration in Biomedical Engineering. Following four years of her dental education at the world’s first dental school – University of Maryland School of Dentistry – Dr. Swan received her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree. Dr. Swan then completed a one-year internship and a four-year residency specializing in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, becoming one of a select few female Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons in the country.
Following her Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery training in Arizona, Dr. Swan moved to Illinois and became an associate in a private Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery practice in Naperville. She then became an Associate Professor of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine – Illinois located in Downers Grove, where for the next four years she ran the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery clinic. During the same time, Dr. Swan achieved the status of a Fellow of the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
After returning to private practice as an associate once again, Dr. Swan realized that she would not be able to deliver the care her patients deserve unless she has her very own practice, where patients are treated like family. And after a four-year search and a year-long build out process, Dr. Swan is excited to announce the opening of her very own state of the art Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Implantology and Facial Aesthetics practice in the heart of the Gold Coast. Being the only female Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon in the city of Chicago, Dr. Swan is honored to be able to provide the highest quality of care with a woman’s touch to patients of all ages when they seek the expertise of an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon.
