I was Dr. David Duda's patient for nearly 25 years, from childhood until I settled in New York and…read moreneeded a dentist closer to home. Our family began seeing Dave in the late 1980s, shortly after my parents moved to the Chicago area, and he has remained our dentist ever since. Dave built an exceptional family practice, and Mike has led it for years while building on the foundation his father created. Mike has never personally treated me, so I want to be precise about that distinction, but I know him well, respect him tremendously, and have great confidence in his stewardship of the business. Dave earned our family's trust through decades of honest recommendations, careful work, and an unwavering focus on what each patient genuinely needed. His personality is magnetic, a major strength in a profession that can make people anxious before they even sit in the chair. He is optimistic and comforting without minimizing patients' concerns, and his natural charisma makes difficult moments feel manageable. He also kept the practice current with modern systems and equipment while preserving the accountability of an independent family business. Through my professional work, I have had some exposure to private equity firms that acquire and consolidate dental practices. Scale can improve operations, but it can also create tension between profitability objectives and the responsibility to provide scientifically honest advice. Among independent, family-run dental practices, Duda Dental Associates remains my benchmark for integrity. That judgment is based on the duration and breadth of my experience there, as reflected in conservative recommendations, excellent care, and relationships with patients measured over decades rather than appointments. Mike's leadership appears to have preserved that ethos while strengthening and modernizing the business. Since leaving Duda Dental Associates, I have been fortunate to receive care from several highly talented and credible dentists, and I am now a patient within the family practice at the University of Pennsylvania's Dental School. That range of care has given me a diverse basis for comparison and deepened my appreciation for the standard Dave established. This is a rare family business with deep community roots, a strong ethical foundation, and a successful intergenerational transition. Highly recommended.

He stayed back a bit late on a Saturday to take the time and finish the procedure alone without an assistant during these covid times. He explained the procedure and was very conservative on the tooth he was going to bond. It was a very pleasant experience to visit a dentist who respects his own profession and knows how to do his part as a dentist.

Yes, it's expensive, but you know what - I want to keep my teeth for LIFE, so they get the best care. And bonus - there were two adorable dogs in the office when I popped in yesterday.

Karen is great dentist with a great crew. My 18-year-old daughter was told by another dentist that…read moreher wisdom teeth needed to be removed ASAP. And of course, that dentist recommends his colleague right around the corner to do the $4000 procedure. Business as usual. Well, we decided to get a second opinion, and Karen was recommended by a friend. Karen did a thorough evaluation, and informed us that my daughter's wisdom teeth were growing normally, not jagged or bursting, and that the procedure/extraction was not so drastically necessary right away. Ultimately, the procedure MAY need to be done for preventative purposes, but it wasn't an emergency, or even a foreseeable problem. It's reassuring and uplifting to know there are dentists like Karen; honest, comprehensive, and caring. Moreover, she takes the time to explain in-depth, what the future conditions might entail. Not like the other guys (and I presume, many dentists); trying to make a quick buck off unknowing clients via "drastic procedures". Karen is awesome.

It's hared to find a good dentist.. this guy is it though…read more Unlike some practices - Dr. Duda has a very conservative approach to dentistry. I've been to lots of places that try to scare patients into unnecessary procedures in order to rake in the fees. Dr Duda is the antithesis of that style. He is very experienced and has a great chair-side manner. He was actually recommended to my wife by our pediatrician. My wife is crazy paranoid about her teeth - and has lots of horror stories by incompetent dental practices with terrible chair-side manner. This guy is really unassuming - but he is on a list of the top Drs in the Chicago area (sorry I don't have the specifics to cite it). So think about that -- he is well regarded by his peers and other medical professionals. This is not a guy that is just starting out -- he knows what he is doing. Bonus - he has classy music playing in the office... If you make it to the Plaza del Lago area in Wilmette - give it a shot.

When I was young I used to work at a dental office so I'm pretty picky on who works on my teeth…read more I've been seeing Dr. Alia for the past 2 years and it definitely saves me a trip to California to see my old Dentist. Dr. Alia is very meticulous and experienced. I took my daughter to see Dr. Alia for a 2nd opinion and unrelated to that visit, she asked me when my daughter had her last dental cleaning. It was about 1.5 weeks ago. Dr. Alia said to my daughter, I'm sorry, honey, I have to clean your teeth. I realized that her previous dentist did not properly clean her teeth. I was very thankful that she couldn't let my daughter leave the chair until her teeth were properly cleaned. She does an amazing job every time I see her for my 6 month check up. She also did my Invisalign. Funny, how many years of braces and wearing retainers every night would come to this, but it was my old Orthodontist who created a new retainer for me that created the issue. Long story short, I have Dr. Alia to thank for my straight teeth (again). Sarah, her assistant is very knowledgable and is amazing as she is. This office is very personable and you can tell that they love what they do. She's not running a franchise or have multiple dentist work for her. What you get, is her - all of her.
