About This Provider
Dr. James G. Loeser holds both a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and a Doctor of Medicine (MD), placing him among a small group of surgeons trained across all three disciplines: dentistry, medicine, and oral surgery. A born-and-raised Elmhurst resident and York Community High School alumnus, Dr. Loeser completed his DDS at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry, then earned his MD at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 2003 before completing a surgical residency at University of Louisville Hospital. Now a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with 23 years of clinical experience, he practices at two locations and holds active staff privileges at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, where he takes oral surgery and facial trauma emergency call. As a solo practitioner, Dr. Loeser personally handles every patient from the first consultation through post-operative follow-up. Patients consistently describe his approach as calm and reassuring, particularly those who feel anxious about surgery. His in-office IV sedation capability means most patients have little or no memory of their procedure, and his thorough pre- and post-operative care earns consistent recognition in patient reviews.
