Laura J. Donlan, DDS
Wow time flies!! This is my 25th year in dentistry! What a privilege and blessing it is to help provide the Peoria area children with dental care each and every day.
Those that know me, know that my proudest accomplishments are my two daughters, Kate and Allie. The girls attended Peoria Notre Dame High School and are now attending Bradley University and University of Florida. Kate is a cheerleader at Bradley while Allie is active in her sorority. They both would like to go to dental school and join me here in practice!! You can find them at the office on their summer breaks helping out and assisting me.
​
I have served on the board of the Peoria District Dental Society, was named one of Peoria's "40 Leaders Under 40" and have been recognized as one of WEEK's 25 Women in Leadership. I am a sustaining member of the Peoria Area Junior League and as an office we enjoy volunteering and being involved in community efforts! I graduated from Bradley University in 1990 and went on to receive my Doctorate degree in General Dentistry from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry in 1994.
​
I enjoy girl's nights with my friends and working out to keep up with the kids!
​
I love children's dentistry and the opportunity it has given me to become a part of your family's lives over the years. Watching "our" children grow and prosper has been one of the greatest joys of my life! I want to say "thank you" for the continued confidence you have in me and my staff. I look forward to many more years of great dental health!
