Dr. Ellen O'Niel

Ellen E. O'Niel, D.D.S.

Dr. Ellen O'Niel graduated with the highest honors from the University of Michigan with a degree in Biochemistry. She worked in the research laboratories at the University of Michigan Medical School before deciding to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a Dentist. She earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Detroit Mercy where she received the distinction of being elected into the National Dental Honor Society. Dr. O'Niel decided to further her dental education and chose a General Practice Residency program at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Ann Arbor, allowing her to enhance her skills while helping our veterans. Following her residency program she went into private practice in Ann Arbor and Canton, Michigan. Dr. O'Niel is a member of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association and the National Dental Honor Society. Getting to know her patients and helping them achieve a healthy, beautiful smile is Ellen's favorite part about being a dentist. She also enjoys spending time with her two young daughters Natalie and Nora and her husband.

I am exceedingly proud and happy that my Daughter-in-Law Dr. Ellen has taken over our Dental Practice. She is incredibly skilled and totally up to date on the latest techniques to provide the best possible dentistry to her patients. She is also very familiar with our office culture and how our patients like to be treated. I am extremely confident that you will be pleased to continue to be part of O’Niel Family Dentistry.

Services

Dr. O’Niel and his daughter together with students and faculty from the Medical College of Wisconsin participated in a Medical Relief Brigade to Honduras. Dr. O’Niel spent the week delivering diagnosis and pain relief while providing oral surgery to scores of Hondurans in remote regions. Going to remote villages and seeing all of the people line up for treatment was astonishing. It was a very intense and rewarding experience. Below are some photos of that relief mission.
