    In April, I had a routine appointment for a cleaning and exam. I was told that I had a tiny little…read morecavity on my lower right molar, which Dr. Ruba Maatouk had noticed back in October, and she decided to repair it with a filling. In May, I made an appointment for Dr. Ruba Maatouk to look at the filling because it was too high, and I was still in pain. She filed down the filling. About the pain, I was told a numbing solution was applied during the filling, and that the pain should go away in several weeks. Between May and July, I called the office and was told that I could have pain for up to six weeks, which was normal. Six weeks of pain for a filling seems a bit unusual. In July, I made an appointment because I still had pain and sensitivity. The first thing that occurred was that Dr. Ruba Maatouk pulled out old X-rays. She then said I needed a root canal, which was very confusing since I was told it was a minor cavity. There was never an indication of a root canal during my October or April appointment. Then, during this appointment, Dr. Ruba Maatouk told me that in the next several weeks they would not be accepting Medicaid patients because they were not getting paid their full payments, only half for a treatment. She also mentioned that they had an expensive lab and Medicaid does not cover the full cost. I asked her when she was going to inform her patients that they were canceling Medicaid, and was told a letter would be going out in the next several weeks. A year has gone by, and I never received the letter that they'd be stopping Medicaid. As the conversation continued, Dr. Ruba Maatouk said they could put a cap on the tooth, but it could take up to a year for the pain to subside, and there was no guarantee. I agreed to schedule in the next couple of days so that Medicaid would cover the tooth before they cancelled their contract, but was told by Dr. Ruba Maatouk, that I would have to pay out of pocket because they were not going to submit to Medicaid since they were not going to get paid in full by Medicaid. That is insurance fraud and Medicaid fraud. I cannot believe Dr. Ruba Maatouk was dumb enough to openly admit that. Yes, I called Medicaid and confirmed that that cap was covered by their insurance. I had to decline since I could not afford it. Dr. Ruba Maatouk then offered me an option to prescribe a prescription for a toothpaste called Sodium Fluoride, which I accepted. I took the prescription to,Jewel/Osco. Osco notified me that they needed prior authorization, so I contacted the dental office and was told that they do not do prior authorizations and they refused even after several calls from me and the pharmacist. It wasn't because they didn't do prior authorizations. They didn't know how, which I came to find out. How do you as a medical practice not know how to do prior authorizations? Yet another red flag. I then spoke to the owner of the dental office and told them I had no other options but to contact the IDFPR. They finally agreed, and Osco was given prior authorization, and I received my prescription. As I was leaving the office upon my last visit, Dr. Ruba Maatouk said, I would have an exceedingly difficult time finding another dentist, in a very snarky condescending manner. I was extremely disappointed in the behavior of this dentist and her poor ethics and commitment to her patients and Medicaid. As of today, regardless of Dr. Ruba Maatouk, I found a dentist who confirmed I didn't need a root canal. The filling that Dr. Ruba Maatouk did was done incorrectly, which is why I was having all the pain. Another thing Dr. Ruba Maatouk told me is that I grind my teeth and kept trying to sell me a night guard. More lies from this doctor just to make money off her patients. Stay away from this dentist office. There are so many more honest, ethical, decent, dentists in the northwest suburbs.

    This is hands down one of the best Dental offices I have ever experienced. Dr. Ruba Maatouk is the…read moreabsolute Best Dentist I have ever encountered in my life. She's Exceptional! She's extremely patient, very kind, caring and explains everything in great detail. She gives you options, and offers her professional expertise. I have been going to this office three years. I've had extractions, cleanings, and a root canal. In addition to other services. The entire staff is very nice and courteous. This is a 10 Star (Exceeding 5 Stars) Dental Office! I love my Dentist and the staff! Thanks, again Dr. Maatouk for always going above and beyond for your customers. You're the Best of the Best!

Dr Terp is knowledgable, considerate and a longtime resource for the community, especially as school begins. My kids were patients and have the teeth to prove it. I heartily recommend Dr Terp and his team for their dependable, friendly dental repair, prevention and cleaning.

    If you saw "Marathon Man," you can't forget the phrase "Is it safe?" Spoiler alert: it wasn't, but…read moreI can't imagine a safer person than Dr. Terp to check, clean and even fill my teeth. I originally met Dr. Terp through friends at a party in Wrigleyville. I had recently returned to Chicago and needed a dentist; so I gave him a try. Now, I still travel 20 miles each way to see him--wow, for more than 20 years! He knows my choppers well; as he did the baby and does the adult teeth of my sister's family. I recommended him to them; as I recommend him to everyone. The 10-20 miles is definitely a road block for my downtown friends to see him (literally, on the Kennedy). His Saturday and evening appointments make it a lot easier. I could go to a place a few blocks from my abode, called something like The Art of Dentistry. The "art" part has always been a little frightening to me. I like that Dr. Terp is a complete dental science nerd. Ask him a question, and he'll geek out on the latest technique or product: the ultrasonic cleaner he uses, the difference between filling materials, the benefits/risks of x-rays... He can get as excited as a geek talking about his latest Comic-Con trip: Talk to the hand, bro; I'd rather hear Dr. Terp talk about the mouth, and it's healthier, in my mind. His office staff is great too. Most recently, Adriana was not only physically skillful in cleaning my teeth, but I felt as much tender, loving care from her as I do from Dr. Terp. In fact, this guy's so loving that he's offered free school check-ups to kids and has a coupon for a free first visit on his website. Bonus: he's around the corner from Paradise Pup. But I don't tell him about my visits there after I see him. That's for a different audience (http://goo.gl/4HQSE2).

You can tell she was made for this job! Then onto Maggie the hygienist also sweet and knowledgeable and my teeth have never felt so clean . Then Kate and Dr Bosco ! What a team ! Fun , nice and incredibly knowledgeable and excellent at what they do . I feel lucky to have a dental practice like this for my family. Even my kids love it ! This place is very professional with all the little touches that make you feel at home like flowers for moms around Mother's Day and things for dads around Father's Day . It's just a warm feeling you get upon arrival. Everyone knows Deede and she treats them like they are her own family . I've even heard people tell her that they missed her . Last time when I was there for some work it was another patients 90th birthday and Deede went out and got him a small cake with a candle and they sang happy birthday to him . Talk about caring for your fellow man . He was thrilled ! Can't say enough about this place . Thanks JT Family!

I also immediately noticed how clean and new the office was, which is a nice upgrade from my old dentist's office. I had Maggie as my hygienist and she was great. She was very personable which helped me feel more at ease--I'm someone who has never felt relaxed during a visit to the dentist. Maggie did a great job with my cleaning and X-rays. She went out of her way to make sure the equipment she was using really fit comfortably in my mouth for X-rays. Dr. Basko was very professional and kind. She was very informative and helpful setting a plan for my next visit. She did a wonderful job explaining each little thing to me and helping me consider more things I can do to continue my dental health long term. I know I'm in good hands at JT Dental and I'm very happy I made the switch!
