We've been patients of Jacobson & Tsou for almost a year now and been satisfied. I've only been to…read moretheir Vernon Hills address and was scared of visiting this office due to the city address. City = traffic. However, this is even closer to us than Vernon Hills and I can get there within 20 minutes! City also usually means difficult parking , but they have a parking lot with plenty of spaces. As usual we didn't have to wait more than a few minutes after checking in on their tablet. They called my son's name over a speaker system to chair 6 (fancy) and they took pictures of his progress. We seem to see a different orthodontist everytime we come here, which I dont love since we specifically came to Dr. Jacobson for his airway knowledge, but we're also just in the retainer phase between expansion and whatever comes next so dont' think it's too complicated. I booked my next appointment at this same location over Vernon Hills because it's about 10 min closer to where I live and a lovely office.

I can't in good conscience give this practice a good review. I would suggest before using this…read morepractice go check out a couple other orthodontist s before signing anything with Jacobson & Tsou. After having my first 2 children go here I have throughly dissatisfied. My youngest daughter is currently completing her braces. Everything started great until brackets started breaking. The technicians did not respond when we brought why the brackets were breaking. We've been here for 3 years now. This was a very expensive treatment that you had to enter a payment agreement. Then we started getting extra charges for the broken brackets. When we voiced our concern about all the broken brackets I felt like it fell on "deaf ears". Finally we got a consultation time to discuss this with the doctor. He explained that with some people's teeth the glue for the brackets doesn't adhere the same. I had asked that this wasn't properly explained I would agree that if the brackets break in the future I would pay for those, but they wouldn't agree to that. I felt that would be fair given it took so long to get this explanation. The Dr. didn't agree and said we still needed to pay for the brackets and late fees. So here we sit paying extra fees and late fees.

TL;DR: The new ownership kept the practice name and patient data, but entirely voided warranties on…read moreprevious dental work. They charge exorbitant, out-of-network prices and operate with a strict profit-first mentality. Save your money and go elsewhere. I am sharing my experience to warn both returning and prospective patients about the current business practices at Stephens Dentistry. Four years ago, I had a crown placed at this office for almost $2000. Recently, the crown prematurely cracked and failed. When I contacted the office to have it addressed, I was informed that because the practice is under "new ownership," any previous warranty is completely void. They strategically kept the practice's established name, reputation, and all patient records (down to using the same email address!) to maintain business continuity, but legally shielded themselves from any accountability or warranties on previous dental work. Their idea of a "goodwill gesture" was a mere 10% discount on a replacement crown, bringing the cost to over $1,800. This is absolutely exorbitant and roughly twice the price of what other dentists in the Evanston area charge for equivalent or better work. When you pay top dollar for dental work, you expect exceptional quality and accountability for their work, but Stephens Dentistry offers neither. To anticipate the practice's likely response to this review: in addition to bluntly stating they voided all past liabilities due to the ownership change, they will probably also claim they cannot honor the warranty because I haven't been back for regular cleanings at their specific practice over the last four years. I have maintained my dental hygiene, just not with them. Why? Because Stephens Dentistry is out-of-network for basically all insurances and outrageously expensive. The previous management once admitted to me their fees were intentionally set at the 85th percentile of local practices, and it is abundantly clear the new ownership operates with the exact same "cash cow" mindset. In a university town like Evanston, operating with such an unscrupulous, profit-first mentality is deeply disappointing. If you are a long-term patient, be aware that your past warranties mean absolutely nothing to the new owners. If you are a new patient, be prepared for highly inflated pricing. I have decided to take my business elsewhere and strongly advise others to do the same.

When I was a kid I endured multiple extractions prior to wearing years of braces. My daughter went through nothing so medieval. Thanks to Dr. Durfee's judicious use of expanders followed by braces for significantly less than my five years, she not only has a beautiful smile, but her bite should be strong, stable and serve her well for a lifetime. In an effort to gather clues for how to treat my daughter's similar physiology, Dr. Durfee X-Rayed me. I remember sitting in her office as she projected on the wall both my skull and my daughter's, complete with percent deviations from the norm for various facial structures. Her thoroughness as she developed a plan for my daughter blew me away. Best of all, her plan for my daughter did not require invasive procedures like extractions or breaking and reassembling her jaw as the primary courses of action as others had suggested. I come from a family of physicians. My parents believe you don't do surgery if you don't absolutely have to. Dr. Durfee proved that, in the case of my daughter, surgery was not required to get an outstanding result. It helped that Dr. Durfee isn't just an orthodontist--she's an orthodontist who teaches dental students how to be orthodontists as a professor at the University of Illinois Dental School. If you want great results, don't just go to an orthodontist. Go to the orthodontist who teaches how to practice orthodontics. That's Dr. Durfee. It should also be noted that my older daughter, who was lucky enough to inherit my wife's bone structure, is being treated by Dr. Durfee with Invisalign and is enjoying similarly excellent results. Whether or not the case appears complex, Dr. Durfee is the right physician for the job. I recommend her without reservation.
