Dr. Kunzler is a board-certified Dentist Anesthesiologist dedicated to providing safe, patient-centered mobile anesthesia care throughout Illinois. He completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and Dental Anesthesia residency at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry and Wexner Medical Center.

Before relocating to the Midwest, Dr. Kunzler practiced in Colorado, gaining extensive experience caring for patients in a wide range of clinical settings. He provides anesthesia services for patients of all ages and medical backgrounds including children, individuals with special needs, those with complex medical conditions, and dental anxiety.

In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Kunzler is actively involved in organized dentistry. He recently served on the American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists’ strategic planning committee, helping guide the organization’s long-term direction.

Outside of work, Dr. Kunzler enjoys staying active, skiing, and spending time outdoors with his dog, Wally. A proud Ohio State Buckeye, he even cheered at OSU during college, where he met his fiancé. He remains dedicated to providing every patient with the same level of compassion and care that he would offer his own loved ones.
