Dr. Emma Carrillo

Dr. Emma Carrillo is a native of Edinburg. She graduated from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Dental Branch in 1989. After graduating from dental school she returned to the Rio Grande Valley where she did a 1-year fellowship with the Texas Department of Health under the direction of Dr. Jerry Felkner of Harlingen. During this time she worked with under-privileged children on a school based mobile unit that traveled from Brownsville to Rio Grande City. In 1991 she became director of the dental clinic at the Community Action Council of South Texas in Rio Grande City. After 5-years of working there she decided it was time to delve into the world of private practice. In 1996 Dr. Carrillo opened the door to her new practice where she has been serving the community of Edinburg and surrounding areas for over 15-years.

Dr. Carrillo has been a volunteer to medical and dental missions to Honduras and Guatemala. She is also a member/volunteer with the Dentists Who Care organization. This is a non-profit organization where volunteer dentists from across the Rio Grande Valley give back to the communities by providing dental care for indigent children. She is also a volunteer dentist for Proyecto Desarrollo Humano, a charitable organization run by Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (ICM).

Dr. Carrillo is a member of the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry. Continuing education has always been a priority of Dr. Carrillo’s. She has logged over 700 hours of C.E. (continuing education) courses in many topics ranging from esthetic dentistry to implant dentistry. She has attended The Pankey Institute, a very prestigious center for higher learning located in Key Biscayne, Fl. Dr. Carrillo is now preparing to take her fellowship exam for the Academy of General Dentistry.
