Dr. Pahopos grew up in Elmhurst and graduated from York High School before earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Louisville Dental School. In 1996, he came home and opened Elmhurst Family Dental — and nearly 30 years later, he still leads the practice personally, now alongside a team of associate dentists and a periodontist he's brought on to expand what the practice can offer.
Outside the office, Dr. Pahopos is married with two children. He enjoys traveling with his family and staying active through basketball, softball, and golf — including coaching his kids' teams. He's also an active volunteer, supporting charities and community fundraisers around Elmhurst throughout the year.
Dr. Pahopos regularly completes continuing education courses to stay current on modern dental techniques and materials — using only quality materials and trusted dental labs for every patient's care. The goal, as he puts it, is simple: the best dental care possible, delivered as gently as possible.
