While in high school, Dr. Barber spent her free period helping in the Special Education classes each day. After Dental Hygiene School, she worked for the State of Illinois at Howe Developmental Center. She took care of the many severely mentally handicapped residents at the facility; not only doing cleanings and X-rays but scheduling dentists to come in the evenings and treat the residents who needed advanced care.
A graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago, Dr. Barber taught there as an Associate Professor of Periodontics for more than 10 years.
During her post-grad residency, she started going into St. Basil’s Free People’s Clinic to get as much treatment completed in an evening as was possible each week.

Periodontics is the dental specialty focusing exclusively on the inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and other supporting structures around the teeth. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants.
On a more personal note, Dr. Barber is a pet lover and practices her green thumb during breaks between patient visits.
