Dr. Ostrowski
as a dentist ...
Dr. Lance Ostrowski is a member of Northwestern
University's graduating class of 1983 He is a member of the
American Dental Association, the Illinois State Dental Society, as
well as the Chicago Dental Society. To stay current with new and
emerging technology, Dr. Ostrowski spends many hours in continuing
education. Held in high esteem by his contemporaries for his work
with implant restoration, many of them have referred their own
patients to Dr. Ostrowski when the damage was either too extensive or
when their own corrective attempts had failed.
In addition to the daily responsibilities that his practice
brings, Dr. Ostrowski has partaken in the study of the effects of oral
health on overall health, along with several well-respected
microscopic scientists and microbiologists at a leading dental school
in Japan. Although this area of study is only recently coming to
the forefront, Dr. Ostrowski and his Japanese counterparts have been
involved during the last 20 years. To this end, he is
currently giving regular lectures at Loyola and the University of
Chicago; presenting his paper titled "Relationship of Gum Disease
and Cardio Vascular Disease".
Lance
outside the office ...
He spends so much of his time as "Dr. Ostrowski"
that people never get to know the many faces of Lance.
Outside the office, Lance is gifted in the culinary
arts. He has studied the cuisine of Italy's Tuscan region with
the head chef of the Carlucci Restaurant in Rosemont, Illinois.
Always the avid musician (as can be seen by his CD collection
numbering in the thousands), Lance plays the keyboard and composes his
own music.
The other side of Lance that his patients
rarely see is his benevolence. He and his wife, Lillian, spend
many hours doing volunteer work at the House of the Good Sheppard,
senior centers, and hospice treatment. They are also generous
contributors to their favorite charities - Anti Cruelty (www.anticruelty.org)
and Thresholds. Lance is also known for having toured grade
schools to give the children lessons on dental hygiene.
Children are no stranger to Lance, as he is
also father. He takes an active role in his son's life,
including coaching his son's junior high school basketball team to the
state championship tournament in the 2001-02 season, a rare
achievement in recent times.
