BEWARE OF THESE FAKE REVIEWS. THIS PLACE HAS THE WORST HYGINIEST EVER…read more New patient but definitely won't be coming back! Came in as a new patient for Dr. EMILY CHEN, but somehow Dr. SANA BAIG saw me instead. It was not a huge deal to me at all since she gave me some solid advice. Now my main complaint about this place. As new patient, they did Xray first, then Doctor check, then cleaning. The Xray technician was horrible. It took him a total of 25 mins to just to get everything correct. Never had someone took that long to get all the xray necessary. HYGINIEST. I've been going to dentist religiously for quite some time now and I have never, ever had a horrible hyginiest experience ever until I got here. Even working as solo, a lot of hygienist are able to properly do their job and not make a mess on patient's face. 1. Why does hyginiest gotta ask me if im okay every 20s? It was already established that i would raise my left hand if I wanted to stop whatever she was doing. 2. Too much water I might as well bring a soap and shampoo and take a shower. She wasn't attentive of overflowing water in mouth and would say "I was focused on cleaning your teeth".. 3. Why she gotta physically close my mouth after saying close your mouth? People know how suction works.. ‍‍‍ Like hello?? Never had a hyginiest physically close my mouth just to do suction! 4. She didnt Floss under my bridge and she was "teaching" me how to floss. She also left a broken piece of floss in between my teeth and she didnt noticed it until I said redo the part since i feel something stuck in my teeth. 5. Always looking whos walking by like hello focus your eyes on me. That's why you didnt notice if water is leaking out of my mouth. She looks like she's not confident with her work or asking validation if shes doing a good job‍‍ 6. Xray tech took forever to do xray smh. Do better. Are you even supposed to use your hand to prop the device? This guy really placing his hand in radiation zone.

My mom is a former dental hygienist so all of my former dentists were some of her colleagues. While…read morethey were excellent dentists, some of them could have used a few lessons in patient services which I think indirectly made me nervous about dentists. Dr. Dalia is the first "outside the industry bubble" for me, but I was super impressed by this place! The actual place is super comfortable and relaxing. Nice music and what they have on the TV is a little odd, but I was able to change the channel. They put on those home flipper shows which makes me think that this place is mostly Sauganash Moms lol. They have Hulu and Netflix so...cool! As you probably can already tell, I am used to a real "old school" dentist so I was very impressed by all the doodads and technology they had which greatly improved my comfort and made a much better memory of a dentist office. I was in for a DEEP cleaning which was done with a load of novacane. While she really numbed me down alot, her assessment for how long it was going to last was accurate. She was also a bit faster than I expected, but her work got my "mom's seal of approval lol" (she wanted to see). I will admit that it has been awhile since I have been in for a cleaning so I have some work cut out for me. Still, Dr. Dalia explained it to me like I was an adult and didn't try to dumb it down. She was able to use technology like my mouth was a football field and she was drawing up plays. I kind of liked that. One overlooked part was the cost and insurance. While it was still "expensive", the prices did match up with what my insurance estimated it would be. I know one of the biggest problems with dentists are insurance. This office seems to have it down and provides quite a bit of transparency of how much it costs. Since my parents paid for my dental work growing up, I have never seen a bill for something quali major. At "worst" the prices here are fair which for a medical/dental practice, is still pretty positive. We will see how my next appointments go, but Dr. Dalia was awesome and I am glad I finally stopped by to get my teeth worked on.

The cleaning I received was thorough and my teeth never looked so clean. She mentioned one of my teeth had a split going across it where a filling was and recommended I get a cap before it brakes and causes more trouble and pain. The procedure was quick and easy and I'm so glad I did. The color matches and I'm so happy with the results. She also bonded my front tooth which cracked which I've been living with for a while. It's made such a difference in my smile. Highly recommend Dr. Delia you won't be disappointed

I would love to visit the dentist based off of work I've seen on an acquaintance however, upon speaking to Mr. Barry, who over talked me and had all the wrong information, I even had to stop him and ask if he could listen before interrupting!

I'm unsure I asked if there was someone else for me to talk to that can address my concern with the dentist before our first visit and he said call back later!

I'd been visiting the same dentist for about five years. The pandemic was largely responsible for…read morethe reason we parted ways, then a change in dental insurance and a move made that permanent. Since then, I've been desperately searching for a dentist who was as friendly and nice and easygoing as my previous dentist but failing completely. I didn't like my last two dentists so much that I gave up for almost a year. The reviews for neighborhood dentists were so frightening that I decided to buy a pricy electric toothbrush and take my chances. However, my new dental insurer (as of January 2026) put a dentist I'd never seen nor heard of as my default dentist. She's a little further away than I would have considered because of the distance. But I looked at her reviews and thought, "There are FAR too many five-star reviews for me to not at least give her a chance." And all those five-star reviews are absolutely correct. Although this dental office is in a building I would've never found on my own because they're not allowed to have signage outside, the inside is bright, warm and professional. Although it's a little chilly in there, I accidentally came dressed for the weather. (Bring a hoodie.) The dental assistant (Cynthia), the front-desk representative (Nedzma) and the dentist (Dr. Tamara Marjan) are all equally five stars. They are attentive, responsive, professional, friendly and very easy to work with. My comprehensive exam and cleaning were seamless. I didn't have to deal with ANY of the problems that I encountered with two other dentists. This dental office is careful about masks, sanitation, keeping sunglasses in stock so I'm not tearing up while looking at the lights and no one is trying to force me to spend a zillion dollars on cosmetic dental suggestions I never asked for nor need. Everything about this visit was absolutely perfect, and I even left with a movie recommendation (based on my profession). Again, the only cons were figuring out how to find the dental office (Google Maps can't even find it) and needing a hoodie. Other than that, top notch. I have officially found a new dentist. Whoo hoo!

After that, I got a recommendation from a friend (whose father and father-in-law were both dentists) to check out Dr. Dave McWhinnie at Smiles of Skokie. I am so glad that I went here. The office staff and hygienists were all super friendly. After visiting way too many sketchy dentist offices in strip malls around Chicago, their office and facilities were a breath of fresh air. New equipment, bright exam rooms and nice decorations. Dr. Dave is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and really does talk you through each step of the exam and appointment. He wants to make sure you don't feel any pain at all. I had one dentist who attempted to numb me with anesthetic 3 different times, and I could still feel the drill. Dr. Dave did it once and I was good and numb in no time - didn't feel a thing. Finding a dentist you like and trust is incredibly difficult, I think. But I can assure you that if you go and check out Dr. Dave at Smiles of Skokie - your search will be over. Hope your experience is as good as mine was.
