I worked for a dentist who would refer kids to Affiliated dental specialists. When I had my own…read morekids I decided to take them there also to see doctor Maddox and once he retired I decided to stick around because the office was fine, at first. First experience with Gurnee office, was not that great. Dentist looked very unprofessional and had dirty shoes. Now, my husband works in construction and his shoes were cleaner than this dentist. Not to sound picky but the charges aren't cheap and I expect to get what I'm paying for. Nice doctor, dirty shoes, fine I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Took my daughter to get a filling done and the nitrous wasn't working. Was not told in advance until she's sitting in the chair. We were already there and my daughter was comfortable continuing with her filling without the gas. Fast forward to now and the Gurnee office closed down, go figure. So we transferred to their Vernon office. Should have switch offices by this time but I didn't because all their records were already there and I wanted to give this other dentist a try. We continued going here until we had an appointment scheduled and they called to cancel it 30 minutes before the visit because their assistant was sick. I understood, things happen, right. I told them I would call back to reschedule because I was already driving there and couldn't look at my schedule. Unfortunately I missed work because they do treatment early in the day, ok I get it. I called back to schedule and left a voicemail. No one called me back for two days. I called back again and nothing. I should have gave up here but I didn't. Finally after the third call they finally answered and scheduled her back in. Well, here we go again, I missed work for this appointment and I get a call 30 minutes before her visit AGAIN and they tell me the same thing, the assistant is sick? At this point yes, it was enough. This is my first review because I don't like complaining and give people chances but this office is very inconsiderate of peoples schedules and does not care about their patients which are KIDS. Now it's neglect and no care for the well being of their patients. At this point, I blame the dentist working here because they are the "doctors" and should have competent people that can work and run an office so they can have work themselves. The girls working there should get FIRED for not responding to messages, calling off apparently last minute. I asked for my records and never got the form to send for release. I called back and they finally sent it. Only to get no records sent in return which would have nice to have had since I was able to get in somewhere elsewhere an hour later. These people do not care and it will be a matter of time before this place shuts down too. Worst experience and waste of time.

I was told both over the phone and in person the day of our appointment that the visit would be covered under out‑of‑network benefits, yet I later received a bill for the entire amount. This office is misleading and riddled with inconsistencies. They rarely answer the phone for appointments or general inquiries, making it hard to reach anyone. Email is your best bet, but their odd office hours mean you'll likely have a tough time getting a timely response.

We just got back from an appointment with them and I thought I'd report back. Not a great experience. Dr Pree was nice and the blond hygienist was kind but 2 things were very wrong. First was the policy they have of not letting parents back with their kids. I was told it was just during X-rays. But they did one of my son's cleanings without coming to get me. It was only when it was taking a loooooong time that I went back. The receptionist used her body to try to block me but I went right passed not taking no for an answer. You may think this sounds unreasonable but my sons(twins) were premature which means their baby teeth have needed some work. They are very nervous about going to the dentist because of that so they want me to be with them. And I promised them I would be. I didn't know when I made appointments that the policy was to not let parents do that, even I was told, if kids have medical anxiety from being going to many hospital, Doctor and dental visits, like mine. (One of my boys was tested for almost 3 years for a brain tumor.) Really bad policy. When I went back I was told I wasn't allowed to be back there. ("not enough room" -there was the standard amount.) I stayed. I was talking to another mom in the waiting room. Just chit chat about the book she was reading. She then began to share that her daughter had some bad experiences with All kids (Medicaid) dentists in the past and she wanted to be with her daughter too. Her daughter was there to get a filling. They told her she couldn't go back and by the time her daughter came out the mom was in tears with worry. I've heard stories about people who have AllKids, which we used to have but don't anymore, not being able to go back and kids screaming and having bruised gums after, not using sufficient anesthesia for wisdom teeth removal etc. (I'm guessing the insurance will only pay for certain kinds.) but I didn't know this was their policy and they didn't volunteer the information when I made appointments for our entire family. On my way out I verified that this was indeed their policy for any kind of work they do other than cleanings and cancelled the appointments I'd made for my husband and myself for later in the month. The second problem was that one of the nurses was very rude. She gave me attitude from the second I put my foot down. (The other nurse and the Doctor herself did not. They understood where I was coming from and that I promised my kids.) I found out after that she rolled her eyes at both of my boys when they were getting X-rays and when my son accidentally bit her finger slightly because she wanted him to bite down with her fingers holding the slides in his mouth. He's such a sweetheart and felt really bad. My other son said she murmured "oh my god" under her breath and rolled her eyes when one of the slides cut his gum and he pulled back. Life is too short to deal with these kinds of people. Not going back. Again to be fair the blonde hygienist and Dr Pree tried really hard to make the boys feel safe and calm. They were kind and patient.Also the receptionist who tried to block me was also kind and just doing her job. At the end when we were on our way out she told me she understood and I could see she disagreed with the policy herself.

I'm extremely disappointed in this practice. My daughter received her orthodontic work here, and…read morewhile the process was initially smooth, our recent experience has been nothing short of alarming and frustrating. In September 2023, my daughter had a permanent wire retainer placed on both her top and bottom teeth. However, last Wednesday, while eating lunch, the permanent retainer came off in one piece, and she accidentally swallowed the estimated 1.5-inch wire. Panicked, I immediately called the office to ask if they had ever encountered this situation before. The woman who answered the phone said no--which was not at all reassuring--and put me on hold to consult with the doctors. Their advice was to visit the emergency department for an X-ray. What followed was a stressful and exhausting ordeal: three long nights and four days at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago as we monitored the wire's movement to ensure it passed safely. Thankfully, the wire eventually moved to a safe zone, and we were able to take her home. What's most shocking and disappointing is that throughout this entire ordeal, no one from Forest Ortho called to check on her or follow up in any way. To add insult to injury, my 16-year-old--still determined to maintain straight teeth--went back this Wednesday to replace the retainer. However, they wanted to charge us $350 for the replacement wire! For something that was supposed to last years, having it come out in less than three is unacceptable and suggests poor placement. I've spoken with multiple people who agree that this situation was handled poorly and could have been avoided. I expected far more from Forest Ortho, both in terms of the quality of care and their responsiveness to a serious issue like this.

His presence alone felt like a blessing . Instead of jumping into treatment, he walked me through all my options with compassion and knowledge. He even explained the possibility of going the natural route. That moment of honesty gave me clarity and peace of mind ‍. I didn't need the root canal. I saved so much money but more importantly, I felt seen and respected as a patient and a person. That's rare. That's priceless . I've already recommended this place to friends because when something feels this right, you want to share it with the people you care about . Thank you, Dr. Showers, for living up to your name and showering me in blessings And thank you to the entire staff for making me feel at home

They would tell me that the Maryland Bridge is outdated. Nobody uses that technology anymore, everybody uses implants now . The west coast is ALL about implants. They'll try to tap into your insecurities to persuade you into changing your mind. It's truly surprising how relentless they are. My bridge came out and no one would offer a solution to what I wanted. It was ALL about what they wanted and how they felt about it. It doesn't matter if I go to Beverly Hills, Encino, Venice, the valley, 5 star ratings and reviews, THEY ALL SUCK! Almost $1000 later, a tore up mouth from the new "stay plate" (that didn't stay in my mouth) made by another new dentist, feeling discourage, upset, and mad over every LA dentists pushing implants that would cost me 10k. I got on a plane from LAX and came here to finally get my teeth fixed by professionals!! I can't thank Dr. Michelle Singapori enough for fixing my HUGE problem! I was out of my network for health insurance but they made it really affordable for me.
