1-star - Absolutely terrible experience at Signature Dental Group in Algonquin. I went in today for…read morea routine cleaning, but after wasting 20 minutes of my morning, they flat-out refused to provide any service because I declined dental x-rays. I made it clear I didn't want or feel the need for x-rays, and as a patient, it's my right to refuse them--plain and simple. Informed consent and patient autonomy are basic rights in healthcare, yet this office treated me like I had no say. They wouldn't even perform the cleaning without forcing x-rays on me first. No real explanation beyond "policy," no discussion of alternatives, and zero respect for my decision. This feels like nothing more than a blatant cash grab--pushing unnecessary radiation exposure and extra billing instead of focusing on actual patient care. The staff couldn't (or wouldn't) explain anything properly; they just see patients as dollar signs. Poor communication, zero empathy, and a complete disregard for patient rights. Signature Dental Group (and their "gentle" approach--ironic) is a joke. I will never return, and I strongly advise anyone reading this to go elsewhere. Find a dentist who actually listens to patients and respects their choices instead of strong-arming them into procedures. Save your time and money--avoid this place at all costs.

Dr. Farr showed me his newest, updated dental equipement as we walked to the dental chair and his office was immaculately clean. As a new patient this made me feel very comfortable. If you haven't been to the dentist lately or are afraid, Dr. Farr would be the dentist to go to. Dr. Farr is very compassionate, has a calming effect, experienced, professional, patient, he explains things and dedicated to providing you with the highest standard of dental care. He really cares about his patient's. I can see why, Dr. Michael Farr was voted 2015's Best Dentist in Huntley IL and Voted Top General Dentist in Barrington IL in 2016. Towards the end of my appointment Dr. Farr shared with me his education, hobbies and about his family. Which I appreciated. Thank you, Dr. Farr and your wonderful staff!

I was referred to Dr. Kubik by Dr. Hyde Sheffield (an amazing periodontist) and Pennino Dentistry, and from start to finish, it was the best experience I've ever had at a doctor's office. At 53 years old, I needed braces and was told I'd have them for 16 to 22 months; they came off right at 16 months to the day. The staff was consistently friendly, welcoming, and kind, answering every question I had and making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Kubik's office has an outstanding morale--he clearly loves what he does and brings humor and warmth to each visit. He caters to young patients but makes everyone feel at ease, and his personality is infectious. Candy, who helped when I got my braces removed, was phenomenal as well. I can honestly say I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I recommend Dr. Kubik to anyone who needs orthodontic care. Despite several doctors nearby, I chose to drive 25 miles because this practice is worth every penny. Thank you! Lisa

I've been a patient of Lakeside Dental for several years. Dr. Century actually knows my previous…read moredentist through their dental fraternity, so I knew I was getting a continued excellent standard of care. What I got was even greater; an escalation. Lakeside's x-rays are digital, which means they expose us, the patients, to far less radiation than a traditional x-ray. While important for adults, this is also particularly important for children. Should you require a procedure that involves more than a cleaning, they have video glasses, and a large library of movies that you can use to pass the time and distract you. I only used them once, for a tooth whitening, but it was far more pleasant than twiddling my thumbs for an hour. If you don't finish the movie, they'll even let you take it home, so long as you return it in a timely fashion. Lakeside is a preventative practice. They have a device (can't remember the name) that can scan your teeth for microfractures, and put it up on the screen so you can see it yourself. This lets them get the jump on a problem, when it's treatable by fluoride, or at least a less-invasive, painful, and expensive procedure. Again, I haven't needed anything from it, but it was cool to watch. They also have a therapy dog, Nano, that can sit quietly in the lap of nervous children (or adults) during exams. It's not just flash; Dr. Century does top-notch work. I've got several friends who have seen her for complex surgeries, crowns, etc. They even have a milling machine that can creates the crowns within an hour on-site, so you don't have to come back for an additional visit. With digital records, it's easy for them to track progress of problems over the course of several years, so you can see when it's time to do something, or when you're close to getting that perfect gum exam. Sadly, I haven't yet. Someday, I hope. My last visit was on a Saturday, and I saw Dr. Wolf. She had a relaxing nature about her, and I would trust her to do anything my teeth required as well. Outside of specialties, I've had 4 dentists in 50+ years, but have been with Lakeside long enough to know that they are top-notch. Dr. Century is a pioneer in the use of lasers, and over my time with the practice, has been flown to give seminars on the use of lasers to other dentists. Dr. Century is a rock-star; very well-known in her field. Oh, I almost forgot. Every visit includes topical fluoride at the end. No other dentist ever offered that, at least not without what would have been an extra fee. Lakeside costs me a few dollars less than my last dentist for an exam and cleaning to boot. I suspect that the vast number of 5-star reviews that appear hidden on this page do so because people have only a review or two of short length, and no real history on Yelp. While I can appreciate that Yelp is erring toward the side of caution, especially given some recent bad press with paid-for reviews, I think that, in the case of this business, you can be a bit less dubious. I found I get as much detail as anyone could want on my options, and as much time as anyone could need from any of the staff. If they run late, which they rarely do, they give you a gift card for lunch as an apology. They are a medical practice that stresses customer service. I've referred people to Lakeside, and will continue to do so. I drive there from Glenview, which is kind of a haul, and would still visit them if they were twice as far.
