Mary Ellen Hughes – Clinical Director

I am Mary Ellen Hughes, Clinical Director of Dental Sleep and TMD Center of Illinois. I have enjoyed 16 years of dental medicine with Dr. Weyneth. I am very passionate about sleep medicine. I live it every day. I am the resident sleep apnea patient; oral appliance therapy is near and dear to my heart. I truly enjoy our patients, getting to know them, and seeing the wonderful changes in their health. Our patient’s success stories are the most fulfilling. In high school I decided to become a dental assistant and upon graduating college, I began my dental journey. My husband Jack and I live in Naperville.  We have seen many of our patients around town, especially in restaurants. I am interested in interior decorating, fashion, reading and, of course, shopping. Our passion is traveling, especially to Europe. Maybe I will take up golf, Jack will be thrilled!!!

Jacie Klaisle – Project Manager

Hello, my name is Jacie Klaisle. I am a lifelong Naperville resident. I joined Sherman Oaks Dental/Dental Sleep and TMD Center of Illinois in 1997. Over the years you have seen me in many different roles. I have assisted the doctors, handled patient insurance claims and managed accounts receivable. Currently, I am working part-time in accounts payable, am working from home on marketing projects and many other office tasks. The best part about my job has been getting to know all of our patients and families, while seeing the changes at Sherman Oaks through out the years. When I am not working, I spend most of my time taking care of my two active boys.

Stefanie Connelly – Dental Hygienist

As a Dental Hygienist for eight years, I have never worked with such a great dental team! I have truly enjoyed working at Sherman Oaks Dental for the last two years.  We all have a common goal at Sherman Oaks Dental, to provide the best care possible to all our dental patients!  I strive to continue my education to provide the best care with the newest technology.  On my free time, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé, family, and my dogs.  I also enjoy practicing yoga naked.  I love catching up with all the patients at Sherman Oaks Dental at their dental visits!
