About This Provider
Dr. Elisha J. Greenfield dedicated 42 years to orthodontic care on Chicago's South Side, building one of the most trusted practices in the Kenwood and Hyde Park area. A graduate of Meharry Medical College, he completed his post-graduate orthodontics residency at the University of Illinois in 1969 and then spent approximately a decade teaching orthodontics at that same institution, shaping the next generation of clinicians. Before his dental career, Dr. Greenfield served as a U.S. Air Force pilot, a background that instilled the precision and discipline he carried into every clinical case. His professional affiliations have included Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the prestigious honorary dental society, along with the American Association of Orthodontists, the Midwestern Society of Orthodontists, and the Illinois Society of Orthodontists. Patients who received treatment from Dr. Greenfield describe results that held strong for more than 20 years and a warmth that turned individual patients into multi-generational families. His practice became a landmark institution on the South Side of Chicago.
