I felt nervous about the operation and Dr. Tandon helped me by addressing all of my fears about the operation. His effort to support me made me feel much more comfortable.

Warning: dental talk ahead…read more About nine years ago, I had my top two wisdom teeth out. They'd emerged through the gum, they weren't particularly bothersome, but they were crowding my mouth a bit, so out they came. It was a relatively easy surgery, I drove myself home, napped on the couch, and ate jell-o for two days. At the time, both of my lower wisdom teeth were far below bone and gum, and I was told that if they stayed there, they could be left alone indefinitely. Ahh, but did they stay put? I think you know the answer to that. No, the lower right one started to come through, and starting a couple years ago I was told they should come out soon. Finally, after getting decent dental coverage, I decided it was time. This is the oral surgeon my dentist referred me to, so I didn't have much say in the matter, but it's close to home, which I definitely appreciate. After my regular dentist's dated office, I was pleased to see that this building is modern and comfortable. Nice waiting room with a couch and leather chairs, and while there was no TV to distract me in the exam room, I was able to listen to music on my phone to distract myself. The assistant/hygenist was very nice, she explained what was happening and asked if I was OK a few times (I may have looked a little nervous?). The oral surgeon, Dr Forfar, was pleasant and efficient. He looked at my x-rays and decided only the right one needed to come out; the left one is not hurting anyone and the root is near a nerve. I was very happy to hear that, since I'd been dreading the left side more. Cut to 20 minutes later, I was outta there, with a couple prescriptions, a post-op folder, and a checkup appointment for the following week. While I will never be a fan of dental work, I have to say Dr Forfar's office made the whole experience about as good as it could be, and if you need to have work done, it's as good a place as any. (Note: they also have offices in Wheaton and Schaumburg.)

Let me start off by saying that Dr. Forfar is nothing but absolutely amazing!!! I was referred to…read moreDr. Forfar because of a broken jaw.

This review is based on many years of experience. They did a good job giving me different options for treatment -- both what my general dentist recommended and alternatives. For example, while my general dentist thought a tooth could not be saved, the apicoectomy performed by Dr. Wong was able to avoid extraction. Both did a good job explaining my situation in a direct manner. Dr. Wong has a big personality but he backs it up with professional work. They provide insurance and out of pocket estimates so you know what you'll pay for different options.

This review is based on my two experiences. My first experience with Dr Jukas was great…read more Unfortunately my 2nd experience w Dr Wong was not. Due timing and pain I took the first avail appointment with Dr Wong. I waited one hr for my appointment to start. I could hear Dr Wong w his other patient talking. Sounded like he Spend more time talking about his Telsa, cars, etc versus patient treatment. Which is fine if that patient was ok with. But I am sitting in the next room still waiting for my consult which is already one hour late. Dr. Wong didn't acknowledge or apologize for the long wait. Without looking at my mouth, a 2 sec look at the X-ray rambled a lot of confusing information. He spent more time on making notice of how my hair was done, looking at my shoes, ear rings etc, which became uncomfortable. Dr. Wong was very arrogant, and what he claims is his ice breaker was to ask about my nationality.... He questioned my last name and asked if I was sure my last name was from the ethinicity. Than he questioned if i was married. My nationality is and was irrelevant to the purpose of my visit. He clearly has not had any DEI training. Dr Wong didnt believe his ice breaker is/was culturally insensitive and told me that I was sensitive and he would make note of it. Dr Wong than went to use a common foods in my culture as an analogy to describe my issue. Dr Wong was all over the place explaining the treatment place, bc in the middle of his explaination he kept making comments about my look... which he justified as being "observant". He should be more observant in the care he provides not a persons looks including the items they are wearing. His front desk couldn't explain the itemize bill or what they call care plan Dr Wong was ready to take my tooth out that minute bc they said he was quick and had an opening. They could clearly see I was confused by what was going on. I declined to take action bc I needed to consult my dentist bc I was surprised by Dr Wong saying I had a bacteria eating away at my bone. After thinking over and waiting for the email plan, I called back for an appointment w Dr Jurkas as a 2nd opinion since I had a good and educational experience for my first root canal. I clearly remember Dr J saying why try to save the tooth first. To my surprise Dr Wong called me bc they shared w him that I was not happy w my experience w him and wanted a 2nd opinion. I brought to Dr Wong's attention the above concerns I did not like. Dr Wong was condescending by responding some ppl are slow to understand. I stopped him there and again brought to his attention his rude and unprofessional response. During our call when I brought to his attention the insensitivity of my culture he thought it was ok bc he had a lot of friend in the "x" culture. I than brought to his attention that is not my culture... He clearly was looking at my file picture and again made and assumption. He didn't catch it on his own that he was associating me w another culture when i was telling him what my culture was. Dr Wong was very arrogant and rude to say Dr Jurkas was not going to be able to do the work I needed and that he works under him. Dr Wong response was a narcissist response. I decided to end the call by saying I need To take my services somewhere else. I asked for the email w the recap if his consult I still hadn't received it. 10 min later Dr Wong called me back I sent him to voicemail bc I was working. To my surprise I get a unprofessional text message saying... "I know you are screening calls."To close the loop I acknowledge the email being received: I thought we were done...No he calls me again... now this was starting to be harassment. I picked up the call and just listen to Dr Wong ramble... "I can give you recommendations for a new consultative exam. " Than he started to explain to me what should've happen day one. The worse, worse experience by one Dr Wong. Which is unfortunate bc my experience w Dr J was pleasant. Dr Wong clearly wanted my money versus helping understand what is in my best oral interest

I've had my wisdom teeth removed here and had visits for some other maladies…read more To put it it simply: I enjoyed my time with this doctor. He knows his stuff; but the part I find more fascinating is his personality and attitude. He's easy to get along with and shoots straight, tells you what you need to hear. I'm not certain if oral surgeons need an MD but it's good to know Dr. Scherer is well trained and educated. His staff is very competent and friendly, and the facility is clean and well maintained. My wisdom teeth extraction went without a hitch and recovery was far quicker than I anticipated (healing is an individual thing so don't put a whole lot of weight into it). It feels weird writing a review for a medical practice, but all i have to say are praises for these folks so I'd like to pass this along to whomever needs it.

Years ago, Dr. Scherer removed a tooth of mine, and the experience was perfect... very efficient,…read moreprofessional, and I had no issues afterwards. Because of that positive experience, I brought my 9-year old son in today to have a tooth removed. My son has some special needs - he has severe ADHD, a learning disability and intense anxiety about pain. During our consultation with Dr. Scherer last month, I informed him of this and explained that my son has anxiety and fear (somewhat disproportionate to a normal level) when it comes to pain. I said, he will be VERY afraid and wI'll likely cry. I asked Dr. Scherer what he could do to help alleviate the fear. Answer: a child's dose of Valium the night before and morning of, and either laughing gas or IV sedation. I assumed those would be coupled with some understanding and a little empathy and maybe compassion for a terrified CHILD. OMG!!!! NOTHING could be farther from that. Dr. Scherer showed no empathy or compassion. Basically, he scared my son even more by saying "We can either do this now, here - or in the hospital." He demonstrated no care or understanding that my son was terrified. In fact, Dr. Scherer's demeanor was brusque, curt and slightly aggressive. He was unkind in that he used my son's fear against him instead of found or saying ANYTHING to try to allay his fear... even a little. My son was being brave and 'keeping it together' until we were told that I wasn't allowed to go into the room to hold his hand. Per Dr. Scherer, APPARENTLY, having a parent in the room makes the situation worse. Ok, maybe. I'll never know. But, I never expected the callous, brusque manner of Dr. Scherer today. I don't understand why this "hard-a$$" approach was necessary or appropriate for a scared, terrified kid with cognitive challenges. Shame on you, Dr. Scherer.

And NO my teeth were never seen by a dentist. They were cleaned by a great hygienist and it is not her fault. The dentist knew I was on her schedule and chose to take her lunch. Someone should have caught the error or made it right before it got into a dispute with a not so nice "manager". It is not up to me to place a call grove dental. That is in your court. The manager actually was happy to hear I was going to transfer my business. I've never felt so cornered in my life.

I had my 2nd extraction by him yesterday. When he was making me numb, he said that was the hardest part, and the 2 needles he gave me did not hurt at all. Then he came back about 10 minutes later, and in less than 45 seconds my tooth was out. It's now about 28 hours later - I have had no pain at all, no swelling, virtually no bleeding. In fact, other than having one less tooth, I have no negative after effects. The staff was great, especially his nurse Jeanette, who was very patient and explained everything to me, and the front desk people are all great. About 25 hours after the extraction, I got a surprise call from Gilliana, asking me how I was doing. I must have seen a dentist about 100 times in my life, and I never ever got a call from anyone's office asking me how I was doing. Dr. Balcerak shook my hand after the procedure, and not too many dentists have ever offered me a handshake. I would definitely rate Dr. Balcerak and his staff as the very best.
