Primary example, gave my phone number on 3 separate visits and interactions along with my email. They could not get my correct phone number or send email to me. They also asked me to contact my prior dentist to get dental records and x-rays sent to them. WTAF I get the impression they don't know what to do or they're lazy af, or both.

32 Dental 4 U appreciation post! I wanted to come here and post about the wonderful and patient…read moredental team I have recently had the pleasure of working with. I know that many of us on this site come to connect with friends and neighbors but mostly looking for referrals. Personally, for me, finding the right dentist was imperative after all my years of self-neglect with my oral health. I definitely needed tons of new work and replacement of some old work. I have always been nervous about sitting in the dental chair, knowing the two main focal points of discussion would be the dental work needed and the cost to complete the work. Nor will I forget the pain that typically comes with the level of work needed. This is a very intimidating subject for those that haven't had the proper dental attention in quite some time. I came across 32 Dental 4 U while out doing some shopping in my neighborhood. I had to muster up the courage, put my big girl pants on and just go for a visit. Was it emotional? Yes! When I tell you, from the moment I walked into the office, Dr. Sunkara and her entire team made me feel welcomed and understood my needs from Day 1. The bedside manner is top-notch! Dr. Sunkara was patient, knowledgeable about her craft and educated me every step of the way. For all the dental work I have completed over the months, I have never had any pain afterwards and if so, it only lasts for a few hours, even after an extraction. I can tell that the Dr and her team truly care about the patients that walk into her office and most importantly want to see her patients smile with confidence. I have been visiting this office (on Kirchoff Road in Rolling Meadows) for a few months now and at the end of my treatment plan, I have my smile back, my confidence is up, and I am ready to eat a good hearty meal without the pain and embarrassment. I know this post is long but there are so many of us that are just afraid and intimidated with going to the dentist but take it from me, Dr. Sunkara and her team will completely take your anxiety away and will work their hardest to get you in a healthy state of mind with your oral hygiene and appearance. If you are looking for a great dentist and dental team, please feel free to stop by for a visit!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kakos. He stepped in during a very difficult and…read morecomplicated situation to help my dentist remove a two-decade-old implant crown from an implant system that has long been discontinued and is no longer commonly worked on. This was not a simple procedure. The crown and abutment were extremely difficult to remove, and there was uncertainty about what would be found underneath. Dr. Kakos was willing to take on a challenge that many others would not, working carefully and persistently to help preserve my existing implant rather than moving straight to removal. His kindness, confidence, and willingness to help made an incredibly stressful situation much easier to handle. Thanks to his expertise and determination, the implant was saved and I can move forward with the next stage of treatment. I am truly grateful that he was willing to step in when I needed someone with the skill and experience to tackle such an unusual case. Thank you, Dr. Kakos!

My experience with the administrative staff at this dental office was very disappointing. The…read moresituation was handled in a way that I found unprofessional and disrespectful. Before my procedure, I was not informed of the expected cost. I had to ask for the pricing myself, and I was told they wanted payment even though the office had not yet confirmed all the details of my insurance coverage. I believe patients should receive a clear explanation of anticipated costs and insurance benefits before being asked to pay whenever possible. When I requested a better explanation of my bill, instead of taking the time to review it with me, I was told that if I did not pay, my account could be sent to collections. This was mentioned while I was simply trying to understand the charges, not refusing to pay. I found this approach intimidating and not reflective of good customer service. In particular, my interaction with Kelly at the front desk was disappointing. I found her communication to be rude and lacking professionalism. I believe the front desk staff would benefit from additional training in customer service, communication, and handling billing concerns with empathy and respect. Because of this experience, I have lost confidence in the administrative practices of this office and would not choose to return. I hope the practice improves its communication regarding treatment costs, insurance verification, and customer service so that future patients have a better experience. In addition to my own experience, it appears that other patients have reported similar concerns, including long wait times, appointments running behind schedule, difficulty scheduling or rescheduling visits, and frustration with billing, insurance estimates, and unexpected charges. Communication regarding treatment plans, insurance coverage, and out-of-pocket costs also seems to be an ongoing concern, as patients are not always provided with clear explanations before receiving treatment or being asked to make payments. Based on this experience, my family and I have decided not to return to this practice. I encourage prospective patients to carefully review their options and consider other dental providers to help avoid similar issues related to communication, billing, and customer service.

Years ago I had whitening trays made (maybe from a whitening place that used to be in Woodfield),…read morebut for some reason they no longer fit. I called Dr. Mike's office to see if they could make some trays for me prior to my cleaning. The quote - without bleach (I had purchased some Opalescence on my own) was $150. Needless to say due to an emergency and then another issue, I was rescheduled twice for my tray mold-making appointment. They did give me a discount for my troubles. I picked up my trays the same day as my cleaning appointment. I saw Katie as my hygentist and really like her - she's gentle! Katie explained the trays to me. They made a little dot on each tooth in the tray which indicates where/how much gel to put on each tooth. I told her that the pre-filled trays I previously tried caused gum irritation, and she suggested a fluoride paint ($35) - normally done on kids. If gum irritation occurs, she told me to apply Vitamin E topically. She even hooked me up with a few capsules AND a few different tubes (10% and 15%) of whitening gel. Not only did I get my cleaning, trays, and my molds, but an education on teeth whitening! :) Thanks Katie!

It's been about a year since my last updated review of Westgate and unfortunately, this one has…read morebeen triggered by some detrimental experiences and changes to my once favorite... now former dental practice. I have had a lot of dental work done, multiple crowns and two root canals in addition to a 2 root planing & scalings, and thus insurance covers a quarterly cleaning ("perio maintenance") vs just 2 per year. Also had my silver fillings replaced with ceramics... suffice it to say I know all the proc codes and am familiar with preventative, restorative and major dental tiers and how insurance and copay's function. This is relevant because of the recommendation from Dr. Kics (founder and owner) about a treatment plan on visit 3x the cost and plan pushed for a signature by one of the financing sales representatives (very like a car dealership) for about $8K (not factoring in my new dental insurance). Major dental work like the recommended bridge and 3 crowns would have to be delayed 6 months, but Westgate staff didn't mention this, or even care. They tried to get me to sign a contract at retail cost. Said they could discount it a little (no insurance or negotiated pricing factored) and pushed getting a credit line. I have plenty of credit, don't need more, but did not appreciate this pure car sales vibes money grab, no consideration. Corporate dental business model is what this is called, as I have learned in my recent dental search journey. Back to the story... Westgate has become insufferable and here's why. First, I started noticing odd changes in my last 2 visits. such as: HOURS Changed to corporate (weekdays only) and hours (7am to 5pm), no longer convenient early or late days or Saturdays. Asked about it and got some questionable "staff get more time with families" canned response... riiight. Split shifts are unheard of, and how did you manage the prior 4 years I have been coming here? AMENITIES Amenities in the waiting area... seem to be disappearing. The coffee is not stocked, the mini fridge with water and drinks are empty... no more Starbucks gift cards for checking in... I haven't delved deeper but are they going out of business? SERVICES Going 4x a year for a checkup and cleaning, I get pocket checks on gum depth, like a report card on my teeth. I have a 4-step routine, and the checkups tell me which areas need better care on brushing and flossing. If the hygienist is not doing a good cleaning and not taking accurate measurements, that is a problem... which is likely what happened for the last 2+ visits. I had a throbbing and intermittent pain in my top right side, back 2 molars. Why I think the hygienists were wrong, they listed the depths at a 4-5, even when I went in the last week of June 2024. I talked about the pain, got x-rays and the dentist (Dr. Hart) did not seem to find anything - but she didn't really even check on my teeth despite the complaint, because I went to another dentist later, and they found a pocket depth of 9 in one area of the tooth. The Westgate hygienist listed it as a 5. so, I think a liar or slacker that just used my last numbers for the report. Moreover, if that tooth was at a depth of 9, when it had been a 5, then it hadn't been cleaned well 2 visits ago. That would explain why it was throbbing 3 months later... wtf guys?!!! I trusted you to do good work. Anywho, Dr Hart sent me to an Endontist (Renovo) to see if I needed a root canal, and she seemed excited about the possibility of billing and making a crown using my former (excellent) Metlife insurance. The endo didnt think I needed a root canal, just by hitting the tooth with a tiny hammer... there was a scan he could have done to check if it was fractured, but he didn't... just then billed my insurance a lot for hitting my tooth like a miner with a pick. The scan thing is important BECAUSE back at Westgate, the line Dr. Kics gave me was "I can't see if the tooth is fractured so I recommend extraction and a bridge" ... even though the normal thing is to start with smaller solutions first... after the 8K sales pitch, I asked for this emailed over along with the pocket check summary report so I could review. Second opinion on my issue with another dentist the next day... the put me on antibiotics and chlorhexidine (script mouthwash) to cut down the pain and pocket infection - which worked and suggested a root planing & scaling (gum surgery and deep teeth cleaning) ... kicker, Westgate had given me one of those a year ago on June 2023!!! These are supposed to happen infrequently. WTAF?!!! So long long story, I found a new place and DUDE the modern stuff that newer places have!!! They have 2x 3D printers to make crowns and mouthguards on site, 2 panoramic scanner machines that can detect dental fractures like the endo... etc. Stuff I suggested at Westgate but didn't know was commonplace at modern places nowadays. Westgate has some great staff, but its service levels are IMHO such trash.
