About Dr. Medina

Dr. Itzel Medina

Dr. Medina joined Vora Dental Care in August 2026.

Dr. Itzel Medina was inspired to become a dentist in middle school after seeing how happy her dentists always were.

She studied public health at New York University before earning her dental degree from Columbia University. Upon graduation from dental school, she was awarded the Ella Marie Ewell Award for academic merit. After graduation, she completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, IL and served 5 years as a U. S.

When not at the office, you can find her taking walks with her cats and husband or figure skating.
