Dr. Mirza brings to Dentistry the mind of an Engineer and the skill of a Builder. He has designed not only his dental offices but multiple home improvements over the years. It is not at all unlikely to catch him "improving something".

In Dr. Mirza's free time you can find him in multiple advisory roles. Whether it is helping to guide his home owner's association in day to day governances, or leading a group of Scouts in cooking or life skills, Dr. Mirza leads by example. Dr. Mirza volunteers his time and talent to Rockford and surrounding Communities by sponsoring Edgewater neighborhood activities, YMCA Retired Men's events, Free Dental Servies for the uninsured/underinsured and Free Dental Care for Veterans Day. He has sponsored local sports teams from Park district level thru High school aged, even taking the role as Coach.

He is a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus, active in his Faith volunteering and organizing Fund Raisers and Church functions. His 2 sons are both Eagle Scouts, "half of the fun getting them to that rank was walking that trail with them and investing in their future".

"In continuation of that importance of guiding our youth to their life's path", Dr. Mirza and Dr. Baer-Mirza restarted the Dental Explorer Program in 2016. They encourage area high school students to take a good look at what the Field of Dentistry has to offer.

When Dr. Baer is not running an office or practicing Dentistry she could likely be found multi-tasking the balancing act of keeping up with a fast-paced family. She gardens both vegetables and flowers and preserves most of her harvest. In the past, she has shared her love of gardening with Elementary aged children and raised food for local food pantries - thru Plant a Row for the Hungry.

You can always spot Dr. Baer at local sports events rallying support for the team, and cheering her 2 sons on in whichever sport they participate in.

Dr. Baer is a Scout at heart. She actively volunteers her time and talents to the local Council and Troop, either as a merit badge counselor for various subjects, committee member or parent. Both of her sons achieved the highest rank of Eagle Scout by the time they were 14. "Scouting is a program with merit, helping our youth become the leaders of tomorrow that America so desperately needs today!"

Dr. Baer-Mirza would like that opportunity to help you and your family achieve your best dental health.
