From the moment Dr. Banakis came in the room, I was treated like a liar about my teeth being broken…read moreduring cancer surgery at Mayo Clinic, & that I had a referral to him from my Dentist, which I had with me & uploaded ahead of time, & that my Dentist was trying to preserve my teeth instead of capping them over the last 3 years, said "I don't know Dr. *****", then later states the first name of my dentist whom he claimed he never heard of. (I've been with my dentist for 51 years, & found out they golf together from my Dentist). I was at this appointment to rule out more cancer & TMJ problems, with ear pain & pressure radiating from ear, jaw & neck. My referring Dentist put on the referral for Banakis to do a CT of my TMJ, which Banakis refused to do, saying that even if he gave me one, he doesn't read them. Then tells the assistant to put on my record that I definitely do not have anything going on with my TMJ & there are no health issues. I had told him that there could be something in my Parotid Gland, & he said no. Then he bills me for $280 for this consultation that made me very uncomfortable & upset & just a waste of my time & money. Should be billed as a medical consult, but billing putting into my medical that they are dental, with the billing department saying that Oral Surgeons are all dental. They are not. And this was medical. I have loved my Dentist for 51 years. I like my current dentist. But this Oral Surgeon was horrible, & robbed me of $280 for nothing. I went to another Oral Surgeon who was absolutely great, & did not rob me for a consult, & even did a surgery on me that was needed with something that she & a dental hygienist saw right away, that Banakis did not even address. And.....it was medical & coded as such, something Banakis should have done. And, I do have issues with the TMJ & the Parotid Gland, & something else, that Banakis just blew off & put on my record that I had none of the above. Obviously I DO NOT recommend Schaumburg Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, or Dr. Banakis based on my experience. I never write reviews, but this one really was upsetting, as this is my health & money. Cancer is serious & I am a cancer patient & need to have medical & dental in my life that listen, understand, & treat their patients with the same respect as they wish to be treated. I got the impression that the only patients that they want to deal with are those that will be a huge income from major surgery right off the bat, & that anything else is wasting their time. If your jaw isn't moving at all, & you can't open your mouth to eat, you will be listened to because it is a big money ticket, & major surgery on you. Dr. Banakis told me that if I had TMJ problems, I wouldn't be able to open my mouth, have severe pain biting & eating & pretty much unable to do anything with my mouth. That is incorrect. This tells me that he only wants the severe cases with no where else to turn but to expensive surgery. Instead of also helping those that have a less severe case which doesn't require surgery yet. And putting on my file that I have nothing wrong, at all, and sending me on my way??? Without any proof of that??? Make your own choice on seeing this surgeon. But my personal experience was not acceptable to me or my current Oral Surgeon.

UPDATE 6/08/19: this past Wednesday, I started feeling tooth/gum pain in the area where my tooth…read morewas extracted months ago. Sure enough, after getting to my regular dentist, he found bone fragments lodged in my gums, trying to make their way out. Looks like the oral surgeon didn't get every piece like she had thought. Here I am, numb mouth again, on antibiotics again, in pain again. I was referred to this place by my dentist; I had to have a tooth extraction done ASAP as my tooth was badly infected. When I got there, I checked in right away but waited about 30+ minutes PAST my appointment to be seen. I understand this happens, but there was 1 other person ahead of me so I'm not sure why it was a 30+ minute wait. If you like getting Novocain shots in your gums and the roof of your mouth without topical anesthesia, you won't have a problem with this place. Dr. Drobny did not hesitate to jam a shot into my gums and the roof of my mouth without any topical anesthesia. The tooth cracked upon extracting so it took extra time to dig the leftovers out which caused even more strife. After the procedure, I was in so much pain and wanted to get out of there. However, I couldn't because the receptionist was having a jolly old time talking to the other receptionist about something unrelated to my procedure. Overall, terrible experience.

When I was told I had to go to an oral surgeon for issues with my 19 year old implant, I figured I'd go to Oramax being that my past experience was good. My appointment was 10/2/25 with Dr. Ads. I had an xray done and the Dr said I needed to have the implant replaced but being that he could tell how shocked and stressed I was about the situation, he recommended meeting with another Dr about possible laser treatment for the issue first. As I was leaving, I asked him if I could still get a quote/estimate for replacing the implant. On Monday 10/6, I called the office to ask if I could have the panoramic x-ray sent to me. Being that this is a big procedure, I just wanted to get a second opinion. I was told that I didn't have a panoramic x-ray, that it was a CT scan. I told her whatever it was that I had last Friday, can I get a copy of that. She said it would have to be put on a disc and picked up after 24 hours. I also told her I was waiting for an estimate and she said I should have that within a few days. On Thursday 10/9 I called to see if the disc was ready for pick up. The women didn't know what I was talking about. She looked at my file and said I had a panoramic x-ray and said it could just be emailed over (OMG, that's what I said the first time and I was told I was wrong). She did email that over. I then told her I was still waiting for an estimate since last week. She connected me to someone in the billing department. The women told me I would need an implant removal, bone graphing and implant replacement. She assured me that she would get me an estimate Friday (the following day, 10/10) morning. On Wednesday 10/15, being that I still had not heard from anyone, I called to leave a message for the dr. The receptionist asked what I was leaving a message regarding and I said I had questions about the implant. She wanted to know what the exact questions were. I told her I wanted to know the urgency to do the procedure and listed off a few more questions. She said fine and that she'd have the Dr call me. It is now Monday 10/20/25 and I have no received a quote OR a call from the Dr!! Very disappointing!!!!! I have read negative comments about the office staff many times but figured since the Dr is the one that does the work and he's always highly recommended, I'd continue to struggle through the difficulty with the staff. There's always a chance they didn't relay the message to him but at this point I'm pretty much done. I'd rather not spend thousands of dollars at a place where I feel disrespected.
