Comfort Dental in Hyde Park is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and professional. The staff is kind, upbeat, and incredibly attentive--always making sure you feel comfortable and cared for. The doctor is just as wonderful as the team he leads: knowledgeable, compassionate, and great with patients of all ages. My middle school boys actually enjoy going to their appointments--which says everything for any parent! Bonus: the Hyde Park location has convenient metered parking nearby, which makes getting in and out super easy. I'm so grateful we found Comfort Dental. read more

This is family health care at its best. I and my family have been going here for care for 10 years. While the dental care is professional, thorough and courteous, they always focus on the whole person with their care. I've never recommended a dental practice to so many people. read more

Great Emergency Care I was able to get an emergency appointment today after breaking a tooth in half. The inside of one of my premolars was hanging loose and I could not even close my mouth or eat. Dr. Maini was patient and compassionate and took the time to explain my options. I decided to go with an implant long term, but in the meantime she skillfully temporarily repaired the tooth so my teeth could come together again. She even used the drill without anesthesia and it was completely painless. I am very grateful for the care I received today. Highly recommend Dr. Maini. read more

Everyone in the office was very friendly and welcoming. Dr Smith is very knowledgeable and friendly as wel. overall great service.

The dentist Patric Smith is really unprofessional and untrustworthy. He need to be properly trained and the booking system is always overbooked. I normally don't write negative reviews, but I feel other patients should know about my experience at Comfort Dental Studio - Hyde Park. I had an appointment on Nov 15th 2025 scheduled from 1:00-2:00 pm to treat cavities. Before and at the beginning of the visit, I asked more than once if the treatment could be completed on time. I was told yes. I wait around 20 min. At around 1:20 pm, the dentist Patric gave me two local anesthetic injection and told me he would be back in "a few minutes." My mouth and face became numb. After that, I was simply left sitting in the chair. I ask around where is the dentist and no one explain anything just keep saying the dentist will come in a few minutes. I waited for about an hour with a numb face and no information. Only at about 2:20 pm was I finally told that there was not enough time left to do the filling and that I would have to reschedule. No actual treatment was done. I went through the injection, the discomfort and stress of having half my face numb, and lost my entire appointment time, but nothing was completed. What made it even worse was the way the staff communicated. When I tried to calmly explain that I felt this was very unprofessional and that being left alone with a numb face and they said they were overbooked and only a dentist in there , this made me extremely uncomfortable, I felt that the assistant and front desk staff kept interrupting me and did not let me finish what I wanted to say. I did not receive a sincere apology or any real acknowledgment of how upsetting this was. I left the office feeling ignored, disrespected, and honestly traumatized by the experience. My face stayed numb for the whole afternoon for no reason, and I had to use my remaining energy to ask for my records and X-rays so I could go somewhere else. I no longer feel safe or comfortable being treated here and will be seeing a different dentist. The clinical exam also not professional at all. At least they should explain the situation clearly and real talk. I have to ask what the refilling is about. the way this office handled my time, my comfort, and basic communication was unacceptable. I hope the practice get proper trained and become more professional and improves how they treat patients, especially when patients are under local anesthesia and vulnerable. read more

Everything should be changed.... I originally went to this location in 2019.....all I really remember is that they always overbooked....1 dentist was working in all areas, only 1....he or she would be jumping from one room to another.....I thought it was a different year and hopefully for different dentist....the dentist were different.....but the same set up....1 dentist only.......I had a few cracked teeth.....1 tooth was drilled down and a temporary cap was placed on my tooth....I was told when the tooth comes in, they would call me......I got called on 3 different occasions....each time I came....I was told the company that completed the molds...did it wrong.....each time I came in my mouth was re-xrayed and another mold was made ....after the 3rd failed attention, I told my dentist..this is unacceptable...she said sorry and asked the dentist in training to reglue my temporary cap back into my mouth.....I went to the front desk.....and also informed for the 3rd time, they will contact me when the tooth is ready.....I got a call a few days later from another dental office saying I was referred to them for a root canal.....I was never told by anyone at Comfort Dental....I needed a root canal.....of course, I didn't go to this appointment......this sounds like a setup......if I needed a root canal, why didn't my dentist tell.....very, very unprofessional.....If you value your time and money....don't come here.... read more

Wonderful care. Clear and thorough explanation during each step of examination and review. Staff were very helpful and professional. The office atmosphere is pleasant and lovely. read more

Love my experience overall. Left inspired and ready for our next steps. Dr White and staff were friendly and relatable.

Type of care A+++!! Care Quality A+++!! Office Experience A+++!! The team is professional and caring. I felt safe and comfortable during the visit. The service(s) including cost are provided in real time. I plan to continue receiving my dental care with them. read more

I'm impressed. The office was on time, clean, and techy. Dr. White and Daniela were painless, friendly and seemed to know their stuff. They fixed a cracked tooth. Im not qualified to say it was great work, but i assume it was given the overall professionalism of this operation. Time will tell. Im pretty sure i found my new dentist. read more

The claim department is incompetent. I was contacted by Comfort Dental stating my insurance GEHA had denied my claim of $130 from 2024. I was asked did I have any other insurance I stated only medical through BCBS. Comfort Dental insisted on sending the claim to my medical insurance company. That claim was also denied. I, myself contacted GEHA and explained that my claim was denied. GEHA told Comfort Dental to resubmit the claim and state that my medical insurance had previously denied. GEHA then approved the claim and paid out. A year later in 2025 Comfort Dental sent a statement saying I owed the balance of $78 after my insurance company GEHA had already paid. I contacted GEHA on today 01/12/2026 while on a three way call with Comfort Dental. GEHA once again stated that I DO NOT owe anything else. GEHA also stated I was in network and they had paid out what was agreed upon with the discount. GEHA stated the balance of $78 is a tax write off for Comfort Dental. Even after GEHA explained this to the young man from Comfort Dental he was still confused and trying to force me to pay the remaining $78. GEHA recommended that I send over the explanation of benefits to Comfort Dental, which I have when all of this took place. Comfort Dental has my medical insurance BCBS down as my primary which needs to be removed. My dental insurance is GEHA and GEHA ONLY. This was not my first visit with Comfort Dental, my children, spouse and myself have been serviced there before with my GEHA insurance. No problems with those previous claims just only this one visit. I have been harassed since 2025 bombarded with numerous calls and emails. Comfort Dental billing department is committing insurance fraud. read more

Watch your billing....received a bill from 2021 with 1700.00 worth of interest. We paid every copay that was asked from them so we shouldnt owe anything. Bcbs says they paid them minus the out of network copay even though the office is in network most of the dentist from 2021 to 2023 was not in network but operating as if they were. Not a place were going back to. Not very honest. Thought i share my story. Oh and by the way, if someone owes you a bill, on the next visit you wouldnt even be able to see the doctor until the balance due is paid correct? Exactly read more

very poor time management and scheduling! alot of back and forth between the dentists and patients because clearly they're over booking!!!!! i hate it here and if you value how your time is spent then this isnt the place!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I went to this Dentist after being recommended by a friend. Prior to coming to this dentist, I went to 3 other dentists to get estimates of over $20,000+ worth of services. I applied for dental insurance and took out a line of credit to pay for my services. I did not inform anyone of this fact, for the sole purpose of seeing how I would be treated not knowing I had the money to pay in full. Everyone is nice to you as long as they know you have money to pay. The Dentist has a great personality, but the business acumen is in question. My first visit was great. My second visit was great. The third visit wasn't good. The dentist had his assistant to perform my blood pressure check. The machine squeezed my arm a little harder than normal. The office was extremely hot. I normally like heat, but it was miserably hot in the office. There was also no armrest on the chair. After having my pressure checked twice my pressure was higher than normal. I made the decision to just leave because the dental assistant treated me in a way I did not use to being treated and I had a bad day. I rescheduled the appointment and came back and went through the same issues. I questioned the way the pressure was taken and then the dentist began to firmly request I get a primary care physician. I have a primary care physician who is also an OB/GYN, and I see every 2-3 months. He insisted that this was not sufficient. I authorized the dentist to call my primary care physician and he had the dental assistant to call that, I had informed the office manager that she was rude to me call my primary care physician. I did not care for that at all and I believe that demonstrated poor professional judgment, because that assistant probably wanted me gone, due to my prior complaint. I visited this office four times and did not receive any services, not even cleaning. Each visit required me to take approximately 3 hours out of my day to get prepared, drive, and participate in the appointment. I felt like my time was wasted, that my integrity was put into question, a man was telling me what to do with my body, insulted because he was speaking to me as if I was a person who did not take care of themselves and that I was ignorant about my body. The Office Manager is very professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable with this Dentist, up until the last two visits. When I pick professionals I stay with them for years. The Dental Assistant that greeted me was rude, curt, and made me feel uncomfortable. I don't know this to be fact, but her behavior came off jealous and envious. Her presence was unsettling. I am well educated and can comprehend the English language extensively. If you want a high level of customer service this is not the place to go. If you aren't as concerned about customer service, then this is the place to go. I believe this dentist is competent, but the environment created discomfort for me. I have informed the person who referred me to this dentist of the events. I try my best to support businesses that have good customer service. I will travel any distance to go to a place where I am treated with respect, dignity, and more importantly, listened to when speaking. I have since scheduled an appointment with a dentist that is a 1hour and 15 minutes from my house, because, that dentist and his staff made me feel comfortable when I went to visit his office. The dentist nor the staff have apologized. I later found out that my insurance did not cover my major treatment items, from the new dentist's office. With that stated, I think this office wanted to get me to leave because of that, instead of having a conversation about the situation. I believe this could have been avoided with just some simple communication. More evidence of poor customer service. I normally don't do bad reviews or reviews at all, but I felt so disrespected when I left this office. This review isn't written in malice, it is written with the hope that this office will improve the way they handle their business. read more

Dr. White is an excellent dentist. Very skilled, highly knowledgeable, and mostly importantly, painless. His staff is very professional and courteous. read more

I just transferred my dental back to Illinois. I had the best experience ever, bar none, in a dental office. Dr. White has an upscale office with all the perks. Every staff member was very professional and extremely friendly. His equipment is state of the art. The display of my teeth onscreen was so large, crisp, and clear that I could easily see what he was explaining to me. Daniella (phonetic) was even nice enough to indulge me by speaking Spanish, so I was able to get some practice in while she worked on my teeth. Again, this was absolutely, without a doubt, the best experience I ever had in any dentist office. I felt like the rich and famous. If you do not have a regular dentist, or you are looking to upgrade, I recommend trying his office. read more

My husband went here with horrendous stains on his teeth from smoking, coffee and tea. I was so shocked when he came home with clean, almost white teeth. It was so much better and Dr. White did an excellent job. My husband also told me that the cleaning was rather painless. He even got to watch a movie while he was there. I would recommend Dr. White handsdown. read more

Dr. White is a great dentist! I recently had a root canal done at his office, and the process was amazing. When my lower jaw started to give me discomfort, Dr. White scheduled an emergency dental visit. He determined that I needed a root canal. He performed the root canal and explained to me the timeline that it would take for the pain to subside. The following day staff from his office called me to make sure that I was feeling better. I highly recommend Dr. White. read more
