Dr. Johnny Kuttab
Pediatric Dentist
Connecting with Children and Smiles
“I’m a dad too! Every day before I leave, my daughter Annelise tells me: “Daddy, don’t let anyone cry today!” Something I take very seriously.”
Growing up in Hoffman Estates, Dr. Kuttab completed his undergraduate and dental degrees at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). He graduated from dental school in 2008 and completed his residency at Northwestern University/Ann and Robert H Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago in 2010. A few years later, in 2012, he married his wife Vera, and they have two beautiful children, Annelise and Abraham.
Dr. Kuttab’s interest in dentistry began in the fourth grade when his family dentist allowed him to be of assistance during procedures when working on his mom. This gave him a real taste of helping people and being part of a dental team.
Since then, he has achieved his dream and now works as a pediatric dentist. For Dr. Kuttab, the best part of his profession is to have the ability to connect with children at a level that parents did not think was possible.
In his spare time, he spends time with his family and supports his children’s interest in ballet.
