The operation was fast,and I only had very mild pain and bleeding on the first day. I didn't have to take any of the painkillers that I had prepared before the surgery. I did using the frozen pea to cold patch the surgical area constantly for the first 24 hours and warm patch after. After 24 hours, I only had a little bit of discomfort and no swelling. By third day I was basically feeling fine. It's been three weeks since the surgery. The only thing I need to do is avoid crushing and hard food, and wait for another two months for it to heal. Thank you, Dr Tatch for a wonderful job.

Dr. Tatch is out of dental Network, and he was on vacation anyway, so I decided to check out a different (rather new) in-Network surgeon 3 miles from my home, and that guy gave me a page of "smoke and mirrors" with "big discounts" and a bunch of "IF"s and contingencies and additions, and that's before new implants, so I went to NorthShore Center for consultation anyway, and... OMG,.. I met Dr. Yost Smith, a very kind, patient, competent, intelligent, and detailed doctor, and I was so impressed that I scheduled my implants removal and bone graft right away for the next day, and - Attention! - their plan/estimate was lower than the other so-called "in-Network" guy. Next night something in my mouth woke me up - it was my 2 fused implants that fell out on their own. Dr. Smith was very skillful and patient again answering my new questions, and he never charged me for implants removal, no games or questions asked. The staff has been always amazing for the last 20-25 years, but this time I met a dozen new associates who were very caring, friendly, and skillful. Wow, what a great experience! THANKS A LOT, Dr. Smith and NorthShore Center staff!

Dr Dolce has many years of experience in oral surgery and it is displayed by the post surgery being basically pain free. I have to say that my son was seen by her to remove all of his wisdom teeth well over 20+ years at her previous office and he had came through it with flying colors. No pain and quick recovery. Thank you Dr Dolce for being the best and taking care of my son years ago and now me. If you are looking for an excellent Oral Surgeon, this the place to be at. She can be reached at 847-680-3560.

Immediately he was friendly and eased my anxiety about the procedure. The procedure was so smooth and easy, I had swelling of course and mild pain, but it was such an easy recovery, much easier than I planned. I truly can't say enough about how easy the whole experience was. Definitely, definitely reccomend Dr. McNeir.

I did not have a dentist of my own, based on terrible past experiences. I was left with dental anxiety. Dr. Konz and I interviewed each other, where we both asked each other dozens of questions. She began to make me feel at ease. Given my past history, she really took baby steps with me, making sure I was comfortable the entire time. I have been seeing her since November, 2023 to correct a very neglected mouth. She has the vision and foresight to know how to correct my problems (crossbite and multiple broken teeth). She has an extensive range of professional colleagues for referrals, if needed (orthodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons). My last appointment was a long 6 hours in the chair, and much of that time was spent laughing and sharing stories. (Who laughs and jokes while in the chair at the dentist?! Me, now that' I've found this fantastic woman!) Not only that, but her own professional staff is also second to no one. They are absolutely fantastic. From scheduling, referrals, chairside manner, billing, and KINDNESS, they are on their game. I feel so blessed to have found such a talented, caring, and professional team. Thank you for everything so far, thank you for your vision in the treatments to come, and thank you for educating me on the benefits and importance of complete oral health. I believe I've found my life-long dentist.

DR. NICKEL LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE! Prior to him, my health had declined for 25 yrs, not knowing…read morethe cause. Several auto immune diseases developed, to where many days I couldn't function. I found out through Dr. Nickel, I had blood infection and bone infection/dead bone in my jaw (due to a failed procedure when I was 15 yrs old to remove a wisdom tooth). That oral surgeon (don't remember his name) neglected to inform my family he left a portion of my tooth in me which became very neurotoxic. Prior to Dr. Nickel, I found out from a dentist, 30 yrs after the failed procedure, the wisdom tooth chip was still in me. So, a 2nd surgery attempt was made to remove the chip, but the tooth wouldn't budge and was on a nerve. The nerves were wrapped around the tooth. Another failed attempt! I actually almost died the next day from the infection being stirred and pushed further in me. I then met Dr. Nickel, who took an x-ray and showed me I had dead bone in my jaw. No dentist ever told me / showed me this on the x-ray. I was nervous for him to perform the surgery, after two failed attempts from past surgeons and almost dying the second time, but he was confident and put me at complete ease. I was also taken aback by his genuine, humble demeanor. He is a very kind-hearted, patient man and is the "go-to oral surgeon" in the area for complex patients. The procedure was a complete success! I had a 3-month, 6-month, and 18-month follow up and everything healed beautifully. There was no nerve damage, and my energy came back, among other things. Thank you, Dr. Nickel, from the bottom of my heart. You are a good man. God bless you!

I had a panic attack while I was under sedation because they didn't monitor my dosages or vitals correctly and Dr. McClenahan told me to "suck it up and stop acting like a baby" while he continued to perform gum grafting surgery as my numbing medicines and sedation wore off so I could feel what was going on. I could not breath properly due to my nose being stuffy from crying and he just yelled at me to take a deep breath through my nose. Then they didn't send me home with enough pain medicine so I was miserable for a week. I called them to have medicine called in for me...they didn't answer my calls or return my call in a timely manner. When I tried to confront the doctor at my recheck appointment he acted schitzo and pretended like nothing ever happened, he walked in the room and said "what a beautiful day it is today". They do not care about their patients in the slightest. If you want to be disrespected, leave angry and in pain then I highly recommend this place. When I left they asked me to schedule my six month check up and I told them not to bother, I would never come back to their office ever again!

Personally, he performed two flap surgeries on me back in 2011, followed by a gum graft to support bone loss in a different area in 2012. The procedures seemed normal and, according to other dentists I've seen for routine cleaning, the grafts look really good. Maybe they say that to everyone but my probes are healthy. He righted the ship and saved me from having to go down the implant road--for that alone, I'm thankful. Plus, I've been going to him for semi-annual cleanings ever since!
