Our Story and Legacy
The current practice of Kopp Bloom Full is built on a proud tradition of serving generations of families in McHenry County, with roots dating back to the 1920s. In 1926, Dr. Leonard Metcalf established the original practice on Calhoun Street in Woodstock. In 1961, the practice transitioned to the care of Dr. Robert Becker, who carried the torch into a new era of growth.
During the 1970s, Dr. Becker welcomed Dr. Joseph Frazier as a partner, marking the beginning of a dynamic and expanding partnership. Both doctors were deeply involved in civic and social organizations throughout McHenry County, exemplifying their commitment not only to dentistry but also to the communities they served.
In response to increasing demand, the practice opened a second office in Marengo in 1980. Following Dr. Becker’s retirement in 1986, Dr. Frazier relocated the practice in 1990 to the College Hill Professional Building on Route 31 in Crystal Lake. This more centralized location provided greater accessibility for patients and fostered collaboration with other dental specialists. Known for his compassionate care and gentle approach, Dr. Frazier formed lasting relationships with patients and was actively engaged in the Crystal Lake community through schools, churches, and local philanthropy.
In 1994, Dr. Thomas Kopp joined the practice, expanding its accessibility by offering evening and weekend appointments. As the practice continued to grow, Dr. John Bloom—Dr. Kopp’s longtime friend and colleague—joined in 2008 as Dr. Frazier began preparing for retirement. Together, Dr. Frazier and Dr. Kopp knew that Dr. Bloom’s professionalism and dedication would be the perfect fit to carry the legacy forward.
In 2017, Dr. Kopp and Dr. Bloom moved the practice to its beautiful new location, continuing their commitment to providing exceptional care in a welcoming, modern setting.
Dr. Brandon Full and Dr. Jennifer Full joined the practice in 2025. They are excited to continue to bring quality, patient-centered dental care to the McHenry County area.
Since its beginning, the philosophy of gentle, caring, quality dentistry has brought patients representing multiple generations of families into the practice. That special legacy of lasting relationships has been the foundation of the practice. Each of these doctors, when passing the torch, carefully and thoughtfully selected their associates and successors. It has been a priority and source of pride for each of them to continue the high level of dedication and compassion to the patients. Dr. Full, Dr. Jen, Dr. Kopp and Dr. Bloom look forward to the future and are committed to providing the best dentistry possible.
