About
Dr. Amanda Nikho was born and raised in the Chicagoland suburbs. In 2018, she attended the University of Michigan and received her B.S. in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience. She then returned to Chicago to earn her D.M.D. from the University of Illinois in 2022. Directly following, she obtained her Hospital Dentistry certificate from OSF St. Francis Hospital in Peoria, Illinois, in 2023.
Throughout her education, Dr. Nikho worked as a pediatric and orthodontic assistant in private practice for six years, developing her passion for the field. She also enjoyed researching the impact of cranial base and maxilla morphology on growth and consequential skeletal classification. And she was granted the Dr. Trucia Drummond Award and the A.C.E. Student Scholarship Fund in 2022 as recognition for presiding over both the American Association of Women Dentists and the Middle Eastern Dental Student Association.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Nikho adores graphite art and spending downtime with her family and friends. And after graduation, she plans to become ABO certified and work locally.
