Patient Information

Important Information For New And Returning Patients

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons practice a full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with expertise ranging from wisdom tooth removal and dental implants to bone grafting procedures and corrective jaw surgery. We can also diagnose and treat facial pain and perform facial cosmetic surgery.

The practice of Capodice, Efaw, Ocheltree & Elger, PLLC was first established in Bloomington, Illinois on August 8, 1990 by Dr. Stephen N. Doran with very little money, but a lot of heart. Shortly after, Dr. Jack Capodice, Jr. returned to Bloomington and joined the practice in 1991. After a cosmetic fellowship in Seattle, WA, Dr. Efaw returned to Bloomington and join the practice in 1996. We then welcomed Dr. Thomas C. Ocheltree, Jr. to the practice in 2006. And finally Dr. Anthony Elger joined our practice in July 2019. All of our doctors were raised in Central Illinois.

Our founder and fearless leader, Dr. Stephen Doran, passed away in his sleep unexpectantly on December 3rd, 2018 while on a medical mission trip in Haiti. He loved to help make a difference in the lives of his patients, employees and friends. Dr. Doran put his heart and soul into helping make this practice the success it is today. We will honor his memory everyday with our continued investment into our patients and community.

The doctors at Capodice, Efaw, Ocheltree & Elger, PLLC, like to give back to the community by hosting a free extraction clinic twice a year for people who are otherwise unable to afford dental treatment. This was started by the practice in November 1997 and has been a tremendous success with other dentists and volunteers from the community helping out.
