Dr. Walczak values continuing education and is currently a member of the Illinois State Dental Society, the American Dental Association® and the Chicago Dental Society.

His passions in life are his wife, Marie, and their four children. He also enjoys traveling, golfing, fishing, cooking, sports and family time.
