I like the dentist there but reception's grammar is shockingly bad. It's a bad look.

I had a deeply upsetting and traumatizing experience at this office during what should have been a routine dental cleaning. The hygienist who worked on me was a temporary fill-in -- something I was never informed of beforehand and would have not felt comfortable with if informed. After the fact, I found out the dentist himself didn't even know her full name, how long she had been practicing, or what her experience level was. Despite that, the office allowed her to conduct my entire appointment unsupervised -- from X-rays to cleaning -- with no oversight. She attempted to begin a deep cleaning without any numbing solution. Thank God I asked for it, because even with numbing, I've never experienced pain like that during a cleaning. I had to ask her to stop -- something I've never had to do in my life. I told her she was hurting me, and that it felt like my teeth were being scraped down. She told me that was "impossible." But here we are today -- with almost all of my teeth now visibly jagged and shortened. I have before and after photos showing the damage. At my follow-up, the actual dentist barely acknowledged what happened. He offered no solution other than to "smooth out" my already damaged teeth by shaving them down even more. No accountability or further solution whatsoever. This office was recommended by my daughter's pediatrician -- and to say I'm disappointed is a major understatement. My smile will never be the same, and what she took from me can't be restored. All because the office allowed someone unvetted and unsupervised to work on me. Maybe if I had a different last name and wasn't a new patient, the care would have been different. I don't know. But what I do know is I'm disgusted, and I will be moving forward with formal complaints. Patients deserve transparency, professionalism, and basic respect -- none of which I received here. read more

Followed Dr. Parker from Lawrence ave to higgins family dental. Dr. Parker left his practice to these hack. Dentist not on duty for early cleanings. I had a crown put on recently and they ground tooth down to far. After 25 years I have to find a new dentist. Assistant always has to be told what to do. Complete incompetence. read more

Absolute trash and dentists are scammers. Do not trust these people. I had a problem with one single tooth when I went in after getting my braces removed and I was told I needed composite bonding to fix it. I was also told I had periodontal disease and given treatments that were unnessecary. I was told my "numbers" were 6+ when in reality they were mostly 2's and a few 3's. I now have a proper dentist who managed to fix what they destroyed in my mouth within two visits. The tooth I had a problem since I was 14 years old is now fixed at 24... WITHOUT COMPOSITE BONDING. I never needed composite bonding!! Please for the sake of your oral health and your dental future don't be botched by this office. Try Modern Smiles in Lakeview, 3901 Broadway, 60613. read more

The staff at Higgins family dental go out of their way for the patient. The front desk staff is always so accommodating and very professional. Michele the hygienist took care of me. She's most professional and of course very much in tune with the patients concerns. I never felt intimidated for asking questions. She was very comforting. Michele took whatever time was necessary to answer questions. I so much appreciate the fact that even in the healthcare industry people do care about others. Thank you, Family Dental for making my visit, an exceptional one! read more

I have lost my confidence in obtaining appropriate customer service and medical care from Higgens Family Dental in Chicago after multiple, problematic events following the retirement of Dr. Parker and office assistant, Cher, in mid-2024. I had been a satisfied patient of Dr. Parker for many years. Recently, I had a dental emergency and discovered that the recorded hours of operation were incorrect. Subsequent calls to the ER phone number were never returned. Eventually reach office and visited a newer dentist, Dr. Cohen. I advised him that I had taken precautionary antibiotics prior to visit since I recently had hip surgery. He either did not listen or lost comprehension when he then advised me to continue dosing with these antibiotics every 4 hours for pain. Then he referred me to an endodontist. The pain rapidly abated over the next 8 hours so I called to determine next steps. I was advised through office staff to see an endodontist. When I asked to speak with the doctor to get additional clarification, I was told to expect a CB. Two weeks have gone by with multiple follow-up calls and still, no response. After this neglectful treatment, I don't see that I can retain a relationship with this practice. I am a Chicagoland resident. read more

Got a cavity filled. They took me right away, they did an awesome job and I was in and out in under an hour!! HIGHLY recommended!! read more

I don't normally leave a review but this Dentist office deserves it. I've been going there about a year now and can't be more satisfied. Every time I go the lady that did my deep cleaning is just amazing. I wish I knew her name to recognize her. I have been to three dentist over the years and my experience here is 10 stars IMO! if your reading this and wondering who you are going to make your next dentist, or maybe just moved to the area and are on the hunt. YOU HAVE ARRIVED! Keith G. P.S. Yes, Just do it......... read more

I am new to Higgins Family Dental...so convenient for me...just a couple blocks away. I am fortunate and have dental insurance and though I have paid into a PPO Plan...for decades I was a patient to dentists that weren't. My first visit in November was the usual new patient exam, x-rays, cleaning and meeting Dr. Mike. Luz my hygienist and so full of information about teeth, cleaning, flossing, bacteria - everything under the dental sun. I had some spots that needed deep cleaning and that was December...as part of my exam...my tongue was lifted and Luz was concerned and tried rubbing off something on the back oh my tongue - unfortunately it didn't rub off...so she asked Dr. Mike to come take a look...he came in and thought it would be wise to check with Dr. Meehan (Oral Surgeon). Prior to this appt. when I was just waiting for my name to be called...I was overhearing the staff trying to make appts. and hearing...first available is end of March or early April. Just eavesdropping... but this didn't concern me as I was just in for a deep cleaning (little did I know). So now, referred onto Dr. Meehan, to see what is growing under my tongue...so based on what I previously heard while waiting...I'm thinking end of March or April...but "Regal" (isn't that a great name?) was setting the appt. for me and said she could do better and got me in a week. Today I met Dr. Meehan...what a great guy...like "Studs Terkel" really interested in MY story...this suspicious tissue ended up being a biopsy today. Every step explained...outcome and possible treatments were discussed... I never expected this all being done in "one stop". I'm used to a consultation and then another appt. for a procedure. Over and done...and what this is "que sera, sera" (whatever will be, will be...the future's not ours to see). So what's your point...GREAT OFFICE, GREAT STAFF, GREAT DENTIST (Dr. Mike) and ORAL SURGEON (DR. MEEHAN (don't want to call him Dr. Phil - that may scare you away). Up front on all costs, email notices and reminder calls are made...truly never have I had a better experience with my dental care than with Higgins Dental! Look no further! read more

I wish I would have found this dental office sooner. Such an awesome group of professionals. Thank you Regal, Bianca, Jaki and Dr. Mike. I highly recommend Higgins Family Dental! read more

This is a real Family place. You are treated professionally and fairly by Dentists, Hygenists, and office personnel. Great practice.

This place is awesome! Very clean and following Covid guidelines. I felt safe! The staff and Dentist are super friendly. Always helpful in giving me tips to keep my teeth in great condition. I highly recommend this place! read more

So lucky to have found this place a year ago!! So close I can walk there. Everyone is super friendly and accomadating. Michelle has been my dental hygentist every time. You can tell she really cares and has given me excellent advice every time. They recently moved to a nearby location that is even nicer than their original one!! read more

My Mother was my dentist my whole life, and now that she retired last year my family and I were looking for a new Dentist. We found Higgins Family Dental all I have to say is "YAY! It was a weird transition for me at first being so use to my mom. But this Dental team is awesome. Very friendly staff and Dentist, very organized, appointments were easy to make, just all around professional. Their deductibles are upfront and that makes it easier for us. My wife and kids and I are very happy with Higgins Family Dental. read more

I've only been here once, so far, but the staff here are very kind and helpful. They all made me feel comfortable and I didn't feel like I was just another patient. If anyone is looking for a dentist or wants to make the switch, I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

I've been seeing Dr Parker and his crew for a long time. Everything has always been great. Now at a new office which is beautiful the same great staff and the same great dentists take care of the patients in the best way possible. read more

This is by far the best dentist I've EVER been to. Let me start out by saying I was traumatized by a pediatric dentist when I was a child and have not been to a dentist in YEARS! My sister recommended Dr. Goldblatt and boy was I glad she did! He was so kind and patient with me explaining everything, his staff is so sweet and gentle felt SO st ease. I ended up needing a crown and I have to say aside from some pressure I felt nothing! I will sing their praises over and over again! I will never let my dental visits pass again. Parking is easy, it's easy to get to, very very good rates! read more

This is perhaps the best dentist I've ever gone to! I just had three fillings done and it was virtually painless! The numbing shots didn't even hurt! Dr Offord was gentle and so nice. I can't recommend this place enough! So glad I decided to go back to the dentist!! read more

Want to give Higgins Family Dental 5 Stars! I would give them a higher rating if I could. We needed to find a dentist kind of quickly. I made the call and the office persons name was Stacy was so professional and ,kind and understanding to our situation. Stacy went way beyond my expectations of getting us in the next day. We went today not only did we get our appointment exactly on time! The staff ,and the dentist went out of their way to talk to us and make us feel very important. The appointment went great already set up for the next several visits. By the way they now they have two new patients. Awesome place! Stacy all I can say thank you for all your help! read more

Been a patient at Higgins Dental for 3 years now. The staff is professional and kind. Michele does a amazing job cleaning me teeth. I highly recommend. read more

I've been using this dental practice for over 60 years. What more need be said. I believe you will like Dr. Mike.

I had an emergency and they fit me in same day. Everyone was very kind and professional. (I have a lot of anxiety.)

A good dentist if you want to deal with identity fraud. They were hacked last April with ransomware. They knew last April of 2021 that they were hacked. I start finding fraudulent claims and accounts being opened in mine, my wife's, and my daughter's name. Over the next few days I get a letter and all three of our names offering identity theft through Experian and explaining the situation. Again this happened in April of 2021 and I was not informed of it until March of 2022 and now I am having to deal with fraudulent taxes being filed fraudulent medical bills and credit cards opened up in our names that have nothing to do with us. I called and talked to one of the representatives here and their whole idea of help is call the number on the back and talk to Experian. I've already put in 20 to 30 hours on the phone over this. The dental office acts like nothing happened. They probably just didn't want to pay the ransom and decided the hell with their patients. I was with Dr Parker before he merged with Higgins family dental for over 10 years and he is a great dentist but Higgins family dental is the worst just for the fact that they don't care about their patients and the financial stress that they have caused yet when it comes to money owed to them they'll hound you for it. Visit this dentist office at your own peril read more

I've been going to this practice for a few years now. The staff is always so friendly and positive. Top notch service from top notch professionals! I would absolutely refer this dental practice to everyone. read more

Such a great place to get your teeth cleaned. My son had his first visit today and he left really happy and couldn't wait to show off his teeth! Everyone is super kind there and it is extremely clean read more

I had another wonderful experience at Higgins Family Dental yesterday for a routine cleaning. The staff are friendly and competent, and the offices are spotless. They make you comfortable and explain what they are doing, and they are following all the guidelines for a safe dental visit during the pandemic. We've been going to this location for almost 30 years and will happily follow them to their new, larger location. read more

Friendly staff and they all do great work. All ages within my extended family continue to have great teeth with help of Higgins Family Dental. I'll be back every 6 months to keep my smile. Thanks for all that you guys do! read more

I'm very picky when it comes to dentists but Higgins family dental does it right. Professional, clean and the Doc is very knowledgeable. Thank you for taking care of my family's teeth for the past 7 years. read more

Very professional and fun environment! I just came to Higgins Family Dental as a new patient. This place was wonderful from the front desk, to the hygienist, to the assistant and Doctor! They work with my insurance, and for the services that aren't covered by my insurance at 100%, they offer deferred interest financing. I completely trust Dr. Goldblatt and his staff, and they will come highly recommended from me to anyone who is looking for a dentist! read more

I had the privilege of being worked on by Dr. Korolyov when I needed one of my teeth extracted. I was really nervous because this was my first tooth I ever had to have removed. Dr. Korolyov has a wonderful personality and made me feel so calm before the procedure. The surgery was a great success and I did not feel a thing. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his really friendly staff Stacy and Anna. I am now a regular patient here at this dental office because of this great experience I had. I recommend Dr. Korolyov to anyone seeking a professional and skilled dentist! Thanks Dr. K! read more

Wonderful staff and awesome doctor. They knew their stuff :) I have a usual dentist and ortho, but I needed a clean in my current city and I was very pleased. The receptionist, Stacy, is a rock star, and the hygienist and the doc both are very knowledgeable and made the process extremely worth while! Now I will start flossing! read more

I've had a great experience here for both a standard teeth cleaning and having some cavities filled recently. Dr. Korolyov was great.

Higgins Family Dental has a great staff! I've seen Dr. Kororlyov since Dr.Goldblatt semi-retired to paradise, lol .Will be going here for a very long time.many Thanks.Steve S. read more

There is no one better. No one. Dr. Goldblatt is a gem. He's been my dentist for around 30 years? Can that be correct? From emergency root canals to 6 month cleanings, Dr Goldblatt and his staff are fabulous. Recently I had some insurance questions, and Kathy at the desk was super helpful and gave me all of the information I needed. Dr Goldblatt himself is amazing. He knows all about my "dental anxiety" and he walks me through every step of every procedure, with a calming hand on my shoulder asking if I'm ok every few minutes. He also has great taste in music, an emergency appointment I once had included some awesome Springsteen tunes. Most of my family, our family's friends, and my friends go to see him. If you want the greatest dentist in Chicago, he's your man. read more

Long overdue review of an outstanding business on every level. As someone who has seen more than my fare share of dentists, Dr. Korolyuv is fantastic. He has done root canals, fillings, caps for myself and my wife. I had been conditioned to think these procedures are always going to be painful to a large degree. To my relief all of them, were almost completely pain free. I was used to having sore bleeding gums after most cleanings, instead my mouth rarely felt better. My wife concurs whole-heartedly. Due to my chaotic schedule making appointments can be problematic They accommodated me by doing my work at 7 AM I have never had the slightest issue with my billings or insurance. The entire climate within the office is upbeat and there is obviously an strong team spirit within the entire staff. If theres anyone out there, in need of a dentist, ease your anxiety and give dr. Korolyuv (mike) a call. You will be smiling when you're done. Thank you for all you've done for me doc read more

Higgins dentist was great. I needed a new dentist in Chicagoland area after I moved. Booking with them was easy. They handled the entire insurance claim process. They have flexible options for appointment times which is important for me so I don't have to take off work. Dr. Korolyov and his team were thorough and efficient. Cleaning was a breeze and I had to have two cavities filled which he was able to schedule within a month and complete in less than 45 minutes. read more

I haven't been to Dr G in a while, cracked a tooth & panicked. Called the office & spoke with Kathy who set me up. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Hygienist Lesley is so nice & made me feel so much better about my situation & Dr. Korolyov managed to fix my tooth & didn't have any pain or discomfort after numbness went away. They are nothing but nice & accommodating here. Kathy is incredibly sweet, Lesley is awesome & Dr. K is the best dentist I've ever seen. read more

I'm sixty-seven years old and have been going to dentists all my life. Dr. Goldblatt is by far the finest dentist that I've ever gone to. He is extremely competent, very gentle, and he explains exactly what he is doing. He also explains what your options are depending on the situation. I feel very fortunate that Dr. Goldblatt is in the neighborhood. If he wasn't, he's the kind of dentist that I would gladly travel to go see. In a word Stuart Goldblatt is the best, and I've been to my fair share of dentists. I wish I could give him six stars! read more

I m giving 2 star because the front desk people who check on your insurance and make sure the coverage are all good, are lousy is hell. I have spent almost 2 grand just cleaning my teeth and they send me wrong checks all the time. I always have to call back and tell them its not the right amount. I paid all the bills but front desk people suck at their work so much they send me $100s of dollars of bill over and over. I m changing my dental place.... Will never go back. I m actually suppose to have a new implant and fix my sinus with their affiliated doctors and offices but not going here again. And when they did my deep cleaning they didn't put enough numbing gel and the injection felt real pain. After injection my hygienist started cleaning deep inside my teeth and i could feel everything and it was hurting me. But i give my hygienist a 5 star. She was great. Make sure you check all your bills and confirm with ur insurance coz these people are pro in ripping you off. read more

A great dentist, he has done a lot of work for my teeth over the years. I always like that he was an old fashioned dentist that cared about his patients is not trying to sell me teeth whitening and other products. Lots of changes in the office last few years, rehab the office, new equipment, lots of marketing and higher prices now. read more
