Janel
Business Manager & Dental Hygienist
Janel grew up in Mt. Carroll and is living her dream-working in her dad's office. She began as a part-time assistant when she was in high school. After earning her bachelor's degree in dental hygiene from Southern Illinois University and a brief time in Champaign Illinois, Janel has returned to where her career in dentistry began. She and her husband Ryan live in Lanark with their three daughters.
Janel enjoys being back in her hometown to care for the people she has always known and is excited to meet people who are new to the area. She has a passion for the dental field and is excited to pass on her knowledge and talents to her patients. Her interests include reading, health and wellness, entertaining, decorating, and spending time with family and friends.
We moved to Mt. Carroll 6 years ago not knowing anyone. My neighbor suggested Dr. Purlee and we have been very happy we went there. EVERYBODY is very friendly and knowledgeable!
