About This Provider

Dr. Ray Jurado, DDS, serves as Head of the Division of Dentistry at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, one of the nation's leading pediatric medical centers. After completing dental school, he finished a hospital-based residency in pediatric dentistry, giving him the advanced training needed to care for children with complex medical conditions, rare diagnoses, and special needs in a full hospital setting. Dr. Jurado specializes in treating children who cannot tolerate standard in-office dental care. He performs comprehensive treatment under general anesthesia, completing all necessary procedures in a single session to reduce stress and prevent the psychological harm that comes from repeated restraint. His long-term approach focuses on building trust so that, as children grow older, routine dental visits become comfortable and possible. Parents consistently describe him as compassionate, deeply knowledgeable, and skilled at connecting with young patients. He takes time to thoroughly explain diagnoses and treatment plans, and he brings the same attentive care to children managing conditions ranging from severe tooth decay to autism and rare cancers.
