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.

For example, my 8 year old's teeth are crowding and I took her in for a consultation. Kelsey explained everything she was doing - from the photos to the x-ray - in a clear and kid-friendly way. My daughter was very interested. Dr. Jessica then pulled up the x-ray and walked me through how adult teeth come in and what to look for in the future. By sharing her knowledge with her patients, it helps empower them to know they're making the right decision. They use the newest technology and you can feel confident that your treatment plan will have amazing results.

They showed great professionalism and care in how they went about conducting diagnostic procedures for my issue. Dr. Gilbert is nothing short of fantastic. He asked very focused questions, and gave me excellent advice. He actually concluded that my problem is dental, not orthodontal. Not only did he not try to sell me any services, he refused my offer to pay for this comprehensive introductory examination that was so instructive for me. (Dr Gilbert has a policy of not charging for first visits.) You cannot go wrong with Dr Gilbert. He is simply outstanding.

As soon as Gilbert was safely ready and allowed to open for appointments, Addie contacted us to come in. My kids were like, "heck no" we're not going...scary virus, and TBH we were also feeling a bit uncertain, but yesterday's experience was exemplary. Once scheduled, we received an appointment confirmation along with a Covid-19 survey for us to fill out. It was easy peasy and asked simple questions regarding our kids' basic health and possible exposure to coronavirus. The new process allows for patients, only, to enter the office with masks on for appointments. There is no waiting room option at this point in time. Parents should prepare to drop off their kiddos. Due to the fact that our appointment was a big progress check-in appointment, they set up a special time just for our family to come in. Again, masks required. They had us wait in our car to make sure the office was cleared of other patients and sanitized, and then they let us know when it was safe to go in. When we entered the office with masks on, Addie was right there with a table to greet us and take our temperatures. Boys were sent to the exam area, and we were sent to the office to meet with Dr. Gilbert. They make sure no one is left roaming around. After our appointment with Dr. Gilbert, we left our kiddos and went to the parking lot to wait for them. Once they were done, they were sent out of the office and out to our car. Love this office, and I'm so proud to be a client. Gilbert Orthodontics, you are doing an amazing job, and my kids love it there (except for the occasional sore teeth). Another 7-12 months to go!

I saw Dmitri Sokol for a consultation. During that visit, he took photographs with his camera and…read moreshowed me images he claimed were of my teeth. The images showed black lines on top of the teeth, a food pocket along the gumline, and a leaking silver filling on one tooth. I was immediately alarmed because I spend a significant amount of time and energy on my dental hygiene. These images did not match what I expected to see given how carefully I care for my teeth. Based on these images, he told me that the leaking silver filling indicated a cavity underneath and that I could lose my tooth if I did not have it replaced. I agreed to have the silver filling on my tooth replaced. Even though he had an x-ray, once he began drilling, he told me he had discovered a "crack" in the tooth. He then proceeded to perform a partial crown (onlay) instead of replacing the filling--which is what I agreed to. I walked in expecting a simple filling replacement. I walked out with a $2,138 partial crown that I never consented to. The black lines and food pocket he had shown me during the first visit were never mentioned again. Instead, he recommended that I get two crowns on two other teeth. I requested copies of the specific images he showed me during that first visit--the leaking silver filling, the black lines on top of the teeth, and the food pocket along the gumline. His office sent me other photos, but not those. When I asked again, they stopped responding. Given that they refused to provide these images, I have no way of knowing if the silver filling was actually leaking. I believe it was not. If it had been, they would have sent me the picture. I then saw another dentist for a second opinion. That dentist confirmed there are no black lines on my teeth. There is no food pocket. Based on the x-ray, there was no evidence indicating that the silver filling had leaked. Regarding the alleged crack discovered during drilling, the second dentist told me this was highly unlikely given that Dmitri Sokol had an x-ray of the tooth before starting the procedure. A crack large enough to require changing the procedure from a simple filling replacement to a partial crown should have been detectable with proper diagnostic tools. The two crowns he recommended were also not needed. The images Dmitri Sokol showed me were not of my teeth. They were used to create fear and urgency to justify work that was not needed. I am sharing this to warn others: get a second opinion before agreeing to any procedure recommended by this office.

A few years ago I was looking for an ortho to get an evaluation for my kids. My oldest is nuts when…read moreit comes to anything medical (especially) dental so I asked everyone for the best orthodontist for high maintenance kids. I heard Dr. Robb over and over and over. Appointments booked! We did a few evals for 2 of my kids over the last few years and I've been super impressed with Dr. Robb's friendless, timeliness and knowledge. The same goes for the rest of his staff. Ms high maintenance has been perfectly comfortable there and that alone is worth 5 stars. Ms. high maintenance hasn't started treatment yet (braces coming this spring eek), but her brother got an expander today. The entire process couldn't have been smoother, they made him feel super special for getting an expander (lucky him ;)) and sent him home with an awesome goody bag that even included a gift card to dairy queen. Genius. I also love that we don't have to turn it every night, but just go to Dr. Robb's office once a month and they do all the adjustments for us! Orthodontics work is expensive and Dr. Robb's office is no exception. I didn't compare his pricing to other orthos in the area since I really liked him and believe most of the names I heard are also pricey. However, I do like that they are very upfront with their pricing and let you know exactly what to expect in regards to cost and amount of time. I think between my 3 kids I'll be at Dr. Robb's office pretty frequently, but not such a bad place to hang out! And especially when the end result will be even better smiles!
