Before pursuing orthodontics, Dr. Frazier earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Binghamton University, followed by an MBA in Management Information Systems from Syracuse University. However, his true passion was in transforming smiles, leading him to attend the University of Pennsylvania Dental School, where he graduated with honors, earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD). His journey continued in Chicago, where he completed his Orthodontic residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago, again graduating with honors and earning a Master of Science in Oral Sciences (MS).

Beyond the Office – Family, Community, and Giving Back

"Outside of orthodontics, Dr. James Frazier enjoys traveling with his family, walking along Chicago’s lakefront with his dogs, and enjoying the unique food and entertainment Chicago has to offer."

He’s also passionate about giving back—especially through local organizations like the Animal Care League in Oak Park, which supports animals in need.He’s also passionate about giving back—especially through local organizations like the Animal Care League in Oak Park, which supports animals in need.
