Downers Grove Magazine (DGM): Who are the members of the Esplanade Dental Care team?

Dr. Sherif Albert:  I’m fortunate to work alongside my sister, Dr. Christine Snow, and Dr. Amy Feller, who became a close colleague after we met nearly a decade ago through a continuing education study club. Together, we bring almost 100 years of combined experience in general, cosmetic, and pediatric dentistry.

DGM: What philosophy guides your work at Esplanade Dental Care?

Dr. Christine Snow: At Esplanade, our philosophy is rooted in treating each patient with care and respect, providing top-quality dental services, and constantly staying ahead of advancements in our field. We take a team-based, patient-centered approach—blending compassionate care with advanced training and technology to give our patients the best experience possible.

DGM: What makes your practice different?

Dr. Snow:  We take our time with every appointment. For me, it’s important to have real conversations with our patients and understand what’s happening in their lives. Dentistry is more than just clinical work—it’s about building relationships and trust.

DGM: How do you support patients beyond dental treatment?

Dr. Amy Feller: We guide our patients through their dental and financial benefits to help make the process seamless. We want our patients to feel supported not just in the chair, but throughout every step of their care.

DGM: How do you stay current in the field?

Dr. Feller: Continued learning is essential. We stay on top of industry advancements to help patients avoid age-related dental issues and ensure they receive the most effective, up-to-date treatments.

DGM: Can you share more about your connection to other practices?

Dr. Albert: My wife, Dr. Mira Albert, and I now operate four practices: Esplanade Dental Care, Brush Pediatric Dentistry in both Hinsdale and Downers, and Atrium Family Dental in New Lenox. I love the combination of patient interaction, the art of dentistry, and the entrepreneurial challenge of growing these businesses alongside my wife.

DGM: What do you enjoy outside of work?

Dr. Albert:  Personally, I always look forward to summer getaways in Michigan—it’s our favorite place to relax and recharge as a family. Once fall rolls around, the energy shifts, especially on Saturdays. I went to Ohio State, and my wife is a proud Michigan alum, so football season brings some fun, spirited rivalry to the house. Let’s just say we don’t wear the same colors on game day!
