Instead, on the phone, they will say things like, "Let me teach you about dental insurance," which is rude and unprofessional.

The studio left a bitter taste in my mouth. Incredibly unprofessional, dishonest, and unpolished.

Beware of Deep Cleaning Scams: Dr. MO Multiple emails to…read moreclinic ahead of time just to schedule a routine cleaning, since my prior dentist retired. Never had a cavity in my life and have been getting 2 cleaning and regular x-ray on routine basis for health maintenance. Checked in ok, and was proceeded to the back by hygienist. Just about to clean, Dr. Mo (Mohammed Alyagoob: NPI: 1952979189) walked in, took one look at my x-ray (5 months ago), and said that I needed "Deep Cleaning". When inquired as to why, especially given my history, he was extremely dismissive and said "Do you want your teeth to fall off?". He then proceeded to tell me that I have an infected tooth and puss is coming out, despite that I have no pain, fever, systemic symptoms of whatsoever. Dr. Mo then stated that : "You can go somewhere if you like" repeatedly, when I asked more questions. I told him that doing deep cleaning cost thousands of $ and often requires prior approval, and that I am requesting him to just do regular cleaning and reassess in 6 months and if necessary, we can see if deep cleaning receives prior authorization. He refused to do regular cleaning and told me to leave. SCAM PART: It is often done by shoddy dental practices, NOT to do regular cleaning and push people to do "Deep cleaning". It cost $$$$ in thousands, instead of $100 or so. It also requires strong anesthesia, often extreme pain and requires very strong pain medication to control symptoms, not to mention multiple visit and chances to bill your insurance on multiple occasions. Often they justify the necessity as any bone loss. However, please note that anyone over the age of 50 will have some bone loss, no different in your teeth than rest of your body. They may scam you to think that bone loss is only related to deep infection and inflammations that requires deep cleaning. WHAT CAN YOU DO: Call their clinic managers and report. Call your insurance company to report to Ethicspoint or similar line. Examine your provider from IL Department of Professional Regulation to see if they have been disciplined previously. If you encounter potential scams, report to IL Dept of Professional Regulations. Get another opinion. Trust your body sense of what it is telling you.

I came here for an urgent appointment as a first-time patient since I could not get in anywhere…read moreelse throughout Chicago that day. The staff were all kind, but this place is not a professional environment that I'd trust for healthcare. I went in for a chipped front tooth and extreme wisdom teeth pain (infected). My appointment lasted all of 15 minutes after really fast/poor quality X-Rays. I never even saw a doctor- just 2 hygienists. One hygienist said there was nothing wrong with my chipped tooth and the pain was probably radiating from my wisdom teeth. I said it was distinctly different and asked him to please recheck the X-Ray. He looked at the X-Ray again then said, "oh, you're right. There is something irregular here. You need either a filling or a root canal- I'm not sure which one. Come back next month and we will decide which one at that time. As for your wisdom teeth, God or your body- whichever you want to say- gives you those teeth for a reason. Dentistry is about saving teeth, not removing them. You will just need to get through it. It's like when babies cry as they teethe, but for adults." Then he left the room and the other hygienist said, "you definitely need to get your wisdom teeth removed. Schedule your follow-up with someone different so you can get it done." Even the receptionist was confused that I didn't know what kind of follow-up appointment I was needing to schedule, since fillings and root canals are VERY different. Definitely do NOT go here unless you're desperate.

I had one the worst experiences with this Oral Surgeon Dr. Jamie Scott Luria, that I've ever had in…read moremy entire life. He lacks compassion and empathy. He entered and introduced himself and said I can pull this tooth or you can come back another day. The crazy thing is The appointment was scheduled for an extraction so what was the point of the question. I then told him that's why I scheduled the appointment for an extraction he then says so is that a yes? That was rude and unnecessary. The 1st thing he did was grab my chin and throw my head back and told me to open my mouth that hurt my face and my feelings now I know how horses feel. During the procedure he didn't treat me like a person he threw his tools on my chest while he was working umm dentist normally have a tray right over you to put their tools on my chest is not a table. I haven't experienced that before. Also I was in extreme pain to the point I pushed his hand away which I apologized for I'm 43 years old and have had many extractions and two root canal's and have never felt that much pain from any dentist. I apologized it was like a reflex when I did it I felt so bad. He gave more medication it was still hurting so I was balling my fists up and shaking from the extreme pain. This upset him so he screamed at me and told me to stop being so tense telling me it's not pain it's just the vibrations from the drill and me moving was making it worse. There were tears coming out my eyes from the pain. The pain I was feeling caused me to tense up. Ladies and Gentleman I can take vibrations I was feeling extreme pain. So he said I'm going to stop and we will sedate you for this tooth extraction that was a good call. Now his assistant went to re-explain why we need to reschedule the visit was due to me not being able to calm down, so I told her I was very calm I was feeling extreme pain while I was telling her that this surgeon started yelling at me again saying yea we gotta reschedule because you need to be sedated so you can be calm. I asked him what should I do for the pain in the mean time since you drilled some of this tooth away. He yelled from the hallway take some Tylenol. He didn't ask me how I was feeling, I don't know if he was having a bad day or what? If a tooth is so bad that you can't even get it numb enough it would stand to reason he should've at least offered to prescribe me something for the pain. This surgeon is not much for small talk either. Normally dentist and oral surgeons do multiple checks to see if your experiencing pain and they don't yell at you for being in pain. I've gotten better dental care on Medicaid

There are times when you worry your health is danger from a practitioner. Dr. Choo scared the heck…read moreout of me the two times I went to him; the second time almost made me want to run out of his clinic. He's quirky and delivers some strange advice when it comes to teeth cleaning. Twice he never gave me a cleaning, choosing instead to give me an ultrasound water pic on my gums and a light oral rinse. When I asked him why he wasn't doing a true cleaning using dental tools, he said, "Your teeth don't need it...they are good." Some of the things he said during my visits were absurd, like, "Your teeth are like my daughter. You know why I said that? Because she is careful." He described dental cleanings on my teeth by pulling up his pant leg and saying, "There's no reason to clean too much or you will hurt it like bare skin." When I arrived for my second visit, the office "lost" my appointment and scheduled me to come back the following week. I realized that a previous reviewer had the same issue years ago. The office does not call to confirm appointments, and Dr. Choo has a habit of not showing up for appointments. The second visit was awful. He mentioned that some of my gums were receding (they are not). He then mentioned he was going to do something because insurance would pay for it, and without describing the procedure, he pulled out a syringe of Alpha-Dent Etchant--a Blue liquid that's phosphoric acid. When I told him that I did NOT want the procedure and to remove it from my teeth immediately, he said ok and rinsed it out of my mouth. He never explained the procedure in full, its benefits, nor the potential damage to the enamel. A Google search came back with advice that the procedure has led to irreversible damage to teeth and gums. So my advice is: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR. CHOO.

Dr Choo is very knowledgeable and astitute dental professional. I am glad I stuck with this office…read moreas they were many other challenges that would sway me from returning to this establishment. It is very challenging to call and set a appointment. If you leave a message do not expect a return phone call. You are better off calling between 10-1pm to possibly have one of the reps answer the phone. I scheduled two appointments one for myself and husband. Upon arrival they only booked one appointment thankful they were able to squeeze me in. While waiting you will hear the workers ring tunes and personal conversations as you wait for a chair to be ready. I list on my patient profile sheet I am allergic to latex. Guess what the reps had on their hands? Finally, after Dr Choo thoroughly explained our current dental health he tried to pitch a $6500 invisalign brace service to my husband. Despite my husband having a minor gap which he notes on his patient profile that he was happy with his smile Dr Choo was pretty persistent in explaining this service. Just an heads up there is NO discounted parking associated with this dentist office.
