Dr. Katarina Crause grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She completed her BS in Evolutionary Anthropology with a minor in Biochemistry at the University of Michigan.
Always wanting to work in healthcare, her family dentist convinced her to consider dentistry and she was inspired by the amount of hands-on patient care, precision and artistry involved in the field. She received her DDS from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2021 and then moved to Chicago, completing her general practice residency at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in 2022.
Dr. Crause is a member of the Chicago Dental Society, the Illinois State Dental Society, the American Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry. She has participated in various volunteer events, including Give Kids a Smile and Mission of Mercy.
When not caring for patients, Dr. Crause enjoys exercising, traveling, watching Broadway shows, and dancing with friends. You might also find her walking along Lake Shore Drive or trying a new restaurant in Chicago!
