Dr. Robert Govoni, better known as "Dr. Bob," is a board-certified pediatric dentist with 19 years of experience helping children in Chicago have healthy smiles. He completed specialized training in pediatric dentistry at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and now has privileges at Lurie Children's Hospital, where he also helps train other pediatric dentists.
