Summary
Chris Pugeda, DMD - General Dentist
I was born in Springfield, Illinois, but I spent the majority of my childhood in Marion where my parents still reside . After graduating Marion High School, I attended the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. Anyone familiar with me, knows that I bleed orange and blue.  I went to Southern Illinois University in Alton for my dental training. After graduating dental school, I worked in Belleville for 4 years before opening Parkview Dental. I have a beautiful 5 year old daughter Lauren and 9 month old son Evan with my wife of 7 years, Amy. If I’m not at the office, you might catch me watching an ILLINI basketball or football game, or playing with my kids. Most likely you’ll find me struggling on the golf course but loving every minute of it.Â
