Dr. Kusek Joins Elgin Dental Clinic

The availability of dental service in Elgin has expanded following the announcement of Dr. Kate Kusek joining the staff of the Elgin Dental Clinic.
Dr. Kusek will be in Elgin on Wednesdays and Thursdays with office hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Tuesdays and Fridays she will see patients at the Albion office. On Mondays she teaches at Creighton University in Omaha.
A native of Albion, (she moved there when she was two years old), her parents are Dr. Tony and Carol Kusek. During our interview she stated that she became interested in Dentistry when she was a young child and pursued her dream. A 2003 graduate of Boone Central High School, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Creighton University. She graduated from the Creighton School of Dentistry in 2011. Dr. Kusek spent a post doctorate year of residency in Albuquerque, N.M. before returning to Albion.
“I knew I wanted to have a practice in a small town,” she said Thursday morning. “The area that had the most to offer was Albion and Elgin. “I’m excited to work with Dr. (John) Williams and Dr. (Samuel) McMillan…They’re wonderful, nice guys who love what they do. It’s a good atmosphere to start up in. It’s the kind of atmosphere I want in my practice someday. I can learn from the ‘masters.’”
She said one of the unique aspects of dentistry is that people come in with a problem, and most of the time they can leave with their problem fixed. “I get to do different things every day and as most dentists, I do love people. There are a wide variety of personalities we meet and interact with.”
As she begins her practice here, Dr. Kusek can do all kinds of general dentistry (fillings, root canals, extractions, bridges, dentures, etc). She accepts self-pay patients and will soon be a preferred provider with most insurance companies. Notices will appear in the paper as provider status is granted. Patients are encouraged to make appointments, but walk-ins are welcome.
Appointments can be made in the Elgin office by calling (402) 843-2429 or (800) 405-2211.
