I moved to Chicago 4 years ago and chose a different dentist at first in River North, mostly because I had opted for the cheap Dental HMO plan. It was a nightmare- they told me I needed to get a bunch of work done, and I'm pretty convinced I went through a lot of pain just so they could make as much money as possible. After that experience, I skipped going to the dentist for a year out of fear honestly. Then I decided I really needed to go back, so sprung for the good dental plan at work, and started shopping for a new dentist. I landed at Grand Dentistry based on the good reviews. I love this place. It reminds me of the dentist I went to from Middle School- College in my home town. The hygienist is so nice. The dentist is compassionate. They put my anxiety to rest, and I have been going to them ever since for the past 2 years. I would recommend them to everyone. read more

I, like most people, do not enjoy going to the dentist. On a friend's recommendation, I made an appointment at Grand Dentistry and I am so happy I did! The dentists (I see Dr. Patel), dental hygienists and office staff are all very efficient, professional and friendly. In addition, they are extremely upfront and transparent with billing/costs, which is greatly appreciated and not as common as one would hope. If you are looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend trying Grand Dentistry. read more

When you're a college student who has only been living in the city for a few years, it can be tough to figure out health care when you're unable to go back home to the offices you've been to for years. After chipping a tooth at work and needing to find a dentist who took my worker's comp, I found Grand Dentistry and they're now my regular dentist. I was super nervous figuring out insurance and going to a new office on my own (in addition to general dentist anxiety), but the receptionist was very friendly on the phone and in person when I arrived. She helped me figure out my worker's comp and my personal insurance as well. Dr. McLean fixed my chipped tooth right way and explained everything he was doing in detail, which I really appreciated. I was a bit of a wuss when he was grinding down the chipped part of my tooth, and he offered me local anesthetic when my normal dentist would expect me to suck it up for the short procedure. He did a great job fixing it up! Shortly after, the receptionist came in to let me know she ran my personal insurance and that I'd be covered fully for a cleaning there, so I was also able to get a cleaning that day and walk out with no stress. During my cleaning and examination, the hygienist and Dr. McLean were very thorough and explained everything; they even used a Chromecast to display my xrays on the room's TV screen and explained what everything on them meant, which was really interesting for me to learn. It was the most positive dental experience I've ever had. I was back today for a 6 month checkup, and had a similarly pleasant experience. I usually dread going to the dentist, but I love going to Grand Dental. I've had lots of experiences where I've felt guilty or embarrassed about my dental self-care at a dentist, but the staff at Grand are very positive and helpful. As a plus, their waiting area is comfy and modern and has a well-stocked mini fridge. read more

The people that work here are great. No one LIKES to go to the dentist, but here they make sure you are comfortable throughout your visit. Glad I found them. read more

I went in for a cleaning, the staff was very friendly, flexible and professional. It was exactly what you would want in a dentist office.

Dr. McLean and his staff were so friendly and efficient. They explained things well and were very honest. The inside is really cute and I didn't have to wait at all - not for the hygienist or doctor. read more

I am so thrilled and grateful to have found Grand Dentistry - both Dr. McLean and Dr. Patel are absolutely a joy to work with! All the hygienists are great and so thorough and nonjudgmental. I usually see Reina for cleanings and she is phenomenal. I love how she provides excellent care and proper recommendations without making me feel guilty about irregular flossing habits. Both Amber and Maribel at the front desk are also very accommodating, transparent about pricing, cheerful and welcoming to all of the patients. I have been a patient for a while now and I couldn't be happier with them - they truly go above and beyond in making sure you are happy. Recently I have had some issues with a crown on my front tooth - it fell off and when I called Grand Dentistry about it they immediately took me in so I could get it fixed. They have been so great and went so out of their way to help me - they have been amazingly accommodating, generous with their time and gracious in sorting everything out. They are also incredibly affordable and very conscious of your costs. Pricing is super transparent - they are very upfront and honest. They put your needs first and truly make serving patients a priority. What really blew me away about their customer service was how they offered to take care of my bill from another dentist's office when I was forced to go to a nearby dentist when my temporary crown fell out right before a major event (their office was closed and I was far away from the city in any case and I couldn't go to them before my event). That's something almost completely unheard of - I never had a dentist who offered something like that before. They are truly empathetic and compassionate doctors and I would not want to go anywhere else. Dr McLean even comes in to see me when the office is closed to suit my schedule. Very grateful for that as it demonstrates how committed he is to his patients and how he wants to make our lives easier even if it is inconvenient for him. This office is the best - there's no other dentist office that even compares. THANK YOU Grand Dentistry! I am never going anywhere else! read more

Office is very clean and modern! My hygenist, Jackie, was the best! Very pleasant and professional--would highly recommend

It is impossible to over-state how amazing Grand Dentistry and Dr. Patel are. In February I left a frantic voicemail to Grand about how I needed a dental implant because I was getting married in September. Dr. Patel not only did an amazing job and worked tirelessly with this staff to make sure my tooth was perfect but he also referred me to an amazing Peridontist and personally asked him to take me on and get him to see me ASAP. If you are in the Chicago area, go to Dr. Patel. I will be a patient for life! read more

I can hardly believe it was more than two years ago I first went to Grand Dentistry. I now had to get another tooth repaired after a filling came out when I was flossing. The filling was probably 15-20 years old so I am glad to have a fresh resin bond. My visit today I was taken care of my Dr Eric McLean. He was very efficient and did a great job. Painless dentistry is a very good thing. I highly recommend this office. read more

It feels odd giving my dentist 5 stars, much less making a point to go on Yelp to rate a dentist, but these guys rock. Everyone here is so helpful & friendly, and it's the most painless dentistry experience I've ever had. Go here and you will understand why I'm here writing this review. read more

I was in Chicago for work and chipped my back molar. I was able to get an appointment the same day I called and was in and out of the office within forty minutes. It was really a great experience for a last minute appointment. read more

I'm so scared of going to the dentist!! Dr McLean and his team are really friendly & nice!

I never write reviews but had to after my first appointment at Grand Dentistry. It was the best experience I've had at a dentist as an adult: everyone from the receptionist to the dental hygienist (Audrey) to Dr. McLean was extremely friendly and helpful. The cleaning was thorough and Audrey checked in multiple times to make sure I was comfortable. She also asked questions about by flossing and gave some (gentle) recommendations. Dr. McLean also took the time to explain a few gum issues and to make sure I would have access to pictures he took documenting the issues in case I ever switch dentists (which I definitely don't plan on doing). He also answered my questions about tooth whitening and was the only dentist I've ever been to that hasn't tried to upsell me on treatments that are unlikely to work. I can't say going to the dentist is exactly fun, but this is as good as it gets (they even had The Office playing on the ceiling so patients can watch while in the chair!). As an added bonus, they gave me a new electric toothbrush at the end of the visit! (I went to the 120 W. Madison location, which apparently is a newer facility, but Dr. McLean switches between the Loop and River North locations, and I've heard from coworkers that the River North location is just as great.) read more

Great first experience at Grand Dentistry. I went in for a general cleaning and was pleasantly surprised by the service, staff, and overall experience. Left with great looking and feel teeth, no pain, no embarrassment for not flossing enough, and really no complaints. I was a little concerned before I got there because the decor in the office is a little worn looking. I wasn't sure if the same would be true for the equipment they would be using. read more

Incredible staff, easy to schedule appointments with, honest dentist, great location.

YOU GUYS. If you are looking for a dentist you MUST go here!!!!! I never thought I would be out here feeling so passionately about a dentists office but here we are. This place is AMAZIIIIING. Both doctor's are incredible, so good at what they do, honest, and kind. The hygenists are great and front desk people at both locations are hilarious and angels. They've helped me with so much - cleanings, root canal, cavity and now orthodontic treatment. I have gone through tons of dental offices and these people are a godsend read more

I love everything about this office. The waiting area is clean, it has drinks available, and the front desk staff are super helpful. Each room has a tv and is clean. The hygienists and both dentists are professional and very good at what they do. You will walk out with very clean feeling teeth. read more

Coming to the dentist can be such a daunting experience but Dr McLean and his team were so great! I hadn't been in four years and was so worried and they were so kind, I felt so well taken care of and they explained and addressed every single concern of mine. I was having some tooth pain which prompted the visit and they were able to explain everything so clearly. Also, in the past I've had dentists try and push procedures or for products and this didn't happen at all - they told me exactly what was necessary for right now and what we would be keeping an eye on in the future. Lastly - I called other dentists in the city and it was months to get in for a basic cleaning - they got me in the very next day. Five stars for sure!! read more

Needed a quick fix and they were able to get me in the following day. The receptionist was very friendly and made me feel very welcome as a new patient. I saw Dr. McLean and he did a great job! I was in and out within an hour and that included a teeth cleaning. Highly recommend this place!! read more

An exceptional practice led by Dr. Patel. Their focus is always 100% on the patient. The dentist I last saw was Dr. Eric. He's a solid guy and does not try to push or sell anything you don't need. I had a great dentist in Michigan, but her flaw was she became more of a salesman rather then a dentist. You don't get that here. Besides being dentists, they're very much in customer service. They will right any wrong and will bend over backwards for you. read more

Finally have found a great dentist in Chicago. The office is clean, staff is super friendly, and all the dentists are phenomenal. They are also super accommodating and have squeezed me in for a tooth pain same day. Going to the dentist is never fun, but Grand Dentistry makes it enjoyable. read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in probably 10 years and I was pretty nervous. My gums were bleeding after flossing every night, so I made an appointment with Dr. Deepan Patel who told me I needed a deep cleaning. He was very friendly and knowledgeable! (and he went to MSU, go Green!) I came back a week later and had my deep cleaning done over 2 days (2 45-min sessions) with the dental hygienist, Lauren, and I did not feel a thing! Nothing even close to pain or sensitivity! Definitely the best dentist I've ever been to! read more

Always pleasant and nice. They answer my questions and remember me the next time I come in. Even enjoy their waiting area as it is well finished with water and coffee available. Would definitely recommend. read more

I went to Grand Dentistry after I broke my back tooth eating breakfast. From the minute I walked into Grand Dentistry, I was so impressed. The receptionist was so kind, there was a Kurig machine (yum) and refrigerator stocked with refreshments that were offered to me. The dentists were so nice and explained to me in detail what needed the be done. The office has a very calming feel and everyone makes you feel comfortable. I actually liked going to the dentist for a change! They have awesome specials for whitening (the best I have seen, and I have researched). I am going next week, right before my wedding for the in-office treatment! read more

Let me preface this by saying I hate going to the dentist. The bi-annual checkups are the bane of my existence and after moving to Chicago last year I had put off finding a dentist until the pain in my back molar was unbearable. After going to a different dentist and finding out I needed a root canal which they didn't perform there, I decided to get a second opinion. Everyone at Grand dentistry was extremely professional and friendly. The receptionist was especially awesome! I had thought it was an in-network dentist and was about to bail when I found out it actually wasn't, but the receptionist called my insurance company and was very helpful and patient in finding out how much coverage I could still get, turns out it was 70% which was very reasonable! The first visit I met with Dr. McLean who took an X-ray and said a root canal wouldn't be necessary and suggest a crown instead. I was so happy the root canal could be avoided, he put a temporary crown on and didn't charge me for the visit. I just got the permanent crown put in yesterday and it was an easy painless experience and the cost was very affordable compared to the quote I received from the other dentist. The dental hygienist was also extremely professional and did a great a job. Thank you to everyone at Grand Dentistry!!! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. McLean and his staff. My previous dentist told me I needed to have all of my fillings replaced, a root canal and a crown for over $2000. Dr. McLean assured me that was not necessary and addressed a crack in a filling and a cavity. I feel I was treated honestly and professionally and would highly recommend the experience. read more

I seldom take the time to write reviews. But, my experience at Grand Dentistry was so good I felt I must write a review. I found Grand Dentistry thru Yelp and a recommendation from my brother. Went to see Dr. Basso and have my teeth cleaned today. Dr. Basso was exactly what I was looking for - knowledgeable, personable, trustworthy, and professional. Dr.Basso did a very thorough exam and took the time to explain different areas of my mouth/teeth. I saw my last dentist 4 months ago and they were recommending quite a bit of work. I didn't trust their assessment. That is what led me to finding a new dentist. Dr. Basso's recommendation today to keep an eye on a couple areas - but nothing needed work currently - seems very honest and accurate. Sonia cleaned my teeth and had good feedback and instructions for improving my daily teeth regime. Overall, I am VERY pleased with the work, advice, and reasonable pricing at Grand Dentistry! read more

Can't ask for anything else with these guys. They are quick, thorough, and as pleasant as it can get when someone is drilling your teeth.

This place was absolutely fantastic. Super friendly people and great service. They have big screen TVs in every room too. Highly recommended!!! read more

Great experience, right downtown in RiverNorth. Easy to sign in and perfect for visiting between work hours. From the receptionist to the dentist, I would rate it a 5/5. Everyone was very helpful and extremely nice. They were able to estimate pricing for future visits/procedures. I look forward to my next visit already! read more

I became a Grand Dentistry patient on a whim, after a not-so-great experience with a different River North dentist office....Grand Dentistry got me in basically immediately and made me feel like I had been a patient my whole life! Jackie, my hygienist, is so sweet and just makes me feel really comfy being at the dentist...how is that even possible?! Dr. McClain is also very friendly and is a *real* person...NOT the scary dentist behind the mask, judging you for skipping a floss or two. I also never knew how much time I was wasting in dentist offices before become a patient at Grand Dentistry....They take you back immediately, clean your teeth efficiently and get you out the door with your free little toothbrush in 40 minutes tops! All my days of sitting & waiting upside down in a dentist's chair.....those days are over! read more

I was in need of a new dentist after and insurance change, and came across Grand Dentistry online while doing some research on nearby dentists. The reviews on Yelp were excellent so decided to book my appointment. I must say, I am so pleased that I chose to go with Grand Dentistry. The new office is extremely comfortable and accommodating. With coffee, drinks and TV for patients in the waiting area it was perfect. The dental assistant for Dr. McLean was so friendly and helpful. Dr. McLean and is staff are extremely knowledgable and took the time to understand my dental history before having my regular checkup, X-rays and cleaning. With a TV playing SportsCenter during the cleaning it was easy to sit back and relax. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and I would highly recommend Grand Dentistry to anyone that is looking for a new dentist in Chicago! I'll most certainly be back. Thanks again! read more

I am new in Chicago and needed a dentist for a routine exam and cleaning. I read the good reviews Grand Dentistry has on Yelp and decided to go there. I am so glad I did!! The place is very comfortable and clean, Dr. McLean and his dental assistant, Rhina were very nice and professional. 100% recommended! read more

since getting my own insurance last year, i have not seen a dentist since as i am not the type to go to any dentist but once i was recommended this facility by a friend, i fell in love! the staff is super friendly, the place is clean and the visit wasnt bad at all! Parking was easy to find (right in front) and there are other options to get to this location such as the cta. without a heartbeat i will recommend this facility! read more

I recently had my teeth cleaned and whitened at Grand Dentistry and both services were fantastic. Super friendly staff, no wait time, and great results. I would highly recommend! read more

I work near downtown chicago and I just happen to drive and saw this new dental office, I took down the number and called I made an appointment for myself and my son. When I went in I was amazed by how clean and nice the place is they have a keurig and a couple of refreshments even a flat screen tv in the waiting area and also in the rooms. I filled out my papers and went in fast so did my son. Everyone was so friendly and kind mostly dr. Patel who I was impressed how good he took care of me and my son.Dr. Patel was nice and social he fixed a filling for me that came off. He also gave my son good instructions and advices how to maintain his mouth. Their prices are very reasonable for someone who has no insurance. I am very pleased for this new dental office I found even though we live in the suburbs is worth it, which I'm going to keep coming and recommend more people. My husband and my other son have an appointment coming up. read more
