    Entry
    Mina H.

    You'd think this place was classy and legit being in this semi-bougie LP (West) location right?IMHO, not the case. Location: Across the Park West Theater and in the lower level area of an apartment / condo high-rise built in what appears to be the 1980s, vibes very "Wolf of Wall Street" for some reason. Reception Staff: Pretty weird group of overly pretentious and over compensatory mean girls and one boy. Is it the location? Didn't care about them, but still duly noted... day one, after 3 visits, I was over it. What a group of lame-ohs. One time I called with questions on the proposed Treatment Plan estimates and a dual line item entry, and got a semi-insulting and dismissive "is it about the money?" When I asked to discuss it with someone. Made sure to say hi to this person on site, she's rubenesque blonde that sits in the middle of the long counter. The male isn't far behind in the patient service skill area. Checked with Metlife, they never even sent in a pre-treatment estimate. Insurance reviews can help catch weird charges btw. Any other medical or dental business charge you for "covid protocols and PPE" at $40? Asking for a friend. Maybe my athleisure wear didn't impress this crew of hens, but WFH for a year, sorry Bs...not going to suit up for a dental visit. Ever see that "Pretty Woman" scene with Julia Robert's in the store? Ugh. Scheduling: Phone and office protocols were very unprofessional... ie. overhear side gossip chat upon answering an appointment reminder call Best yet, get voice-mail because they didn't want to pick up a call (was dialing AS I walked up into the reception area and witnessed 2/4 people ignoring the ringing) which made it difficult to adhere to the "CALL upon arrival to allow entry for an Appointment" mandatory directions. Hmm. Is this part of that $40 protocol I'm charged for... :-\ Periodontist & Assistant: Researched Dr Mackler in the internet and went with him (Perio #4) here because of solid credentials AND was in network. After getting an evaluation, had some doubts based on demeanor, but I liked his assistant so ignored them... you should ALWAYS trust yourself. As a whole, have learned that Periodontists are like mechanics or used car salesmen. They'll try to get the most out of your insurance and pockets. Most don't take insurance because that limits the upcharge. There seemed to be some creative charges to get past that. Ping me if you want details.

    Lincoln Park West Dentistry Chicago I would like to commend Dr. Harrison Mackler and his staff (Kara, Molly and others) for the outstanding service I received during my recent oral surgery. The level of care I received was what's missing from many dental offices in Chicago. Dr. Mackler directs him them with confidence and a level of expectation second to none. I'm a new patient of the dental ground and I will share my experience with everyone willing to listen. R LeMarkus B. Jones

Before the appointment, Seida repeatedly assured me the office would submit a pre-estimate to insurance and only charge me my patient responsibility amount. After multiple calls with my insurance company, it was discovered Brighter Dental had been faxing the paperwork to the wrong number. The issue was finally corrected during a conference call with insurance and the office. Despite the pre-estimate being approved before my appointment, I was told by Seida and Luca that I had to pay the full amount upfront or they would not proceed. Seida claimed no memory of the aforementioned conference call, and I had no choice but to pay or remain untreated and in pain. At my follow-up appointment, insurance had already paid the claim electronically, but the office delayed reimbursing the overpayment and gave conflicting timelines for a refund. They also refused to refund the original credit card and insisted on mailing a check instead. After repeated vague promises and no reimbursement, I was forced to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Due to their refusal to honor the insurance allowed amounts, I overpaid by several hundred dollars. I later received a threatening letter accusing me of fraud because of the charge dispute, even though the office had still not refunded the overpayment at the time of the dispute. This was a disturbing experience.

    Misrepresentation, Pre-Charging without consent, and Privacy Breach. I do not recommend Nikisha…read moreJodhan. Across three procedures from 2021 to 2025, after reviewing the history of my account, I was quoted a lower price each time and then billed more after the procedures were done. They blamed the insurance and the app they use to estimate, but the fact is they don't do pre-authorization for their quotes. For my recent procedure in 2025, they failed to disclose a prior denial for the same code and same tooth from 2021, yet still gave me a quote that was wrong and later told me the insurance "unexpectedly declined" the same code. They also pre-charged me before insurance finished processing, without my consent, which broke their own policy and added confusion to the bill. This left me questioning whether they already anticipated there would be a remaining balance - otherwise, the pre-charge and refund back doesn't make any sense. When I reviewed the documents they sent me, I also found another patient's EOB in my file. Overall, this office shows a pattern of low quoting followed by higher bills, lacks transparency in billing, and fails to safeguard patient privacy. If this is their standard practice, I can only imagine how many patients may have ended up with the same experience I had.

    Dr N. Jodhan refused to respond to 5+ of my calls - she was mileading, misrepresented my pay by…read moreover $1000, and I believe manipulating. Their staff estimated my service to be $2000+ for a tooth extraction, for which they estimated my insurance would pay half the amount, leaving my responsibility to be $1061.00. to which I paid before I left the premise. A month or two later, I received a bill for $1076.50 - the amount my insurance denied. Looking back, I realized I was naive and they manipulated the situation. I thought they would be accurate by merit that Dr. Jodhan's was a professional organization, that their estimates were accurate based on experience. It was after they put my apron for surgery was put that that said I needed to confirm. I assumed that because they were professionals, I might be obligated to pay $100-200. Also, when though the estimated included a tooth graft, they have the recommendation again - thinking back they knew it was optional all along! $1000+ is a huge amount. Knowing that the insurance company pays a substantially lesser amount than the listed price. And their estimate was way off. I called to discuss a mutually responsible settlement. After ignoring 5+ calls, Dr. Nikisha Jodhan instructed that I could pay the full amount with a payment plan. I find her actions to be irresponsive, manipulative, and misleading--which will cost me $1000+ more than I expected She offered a payment plan after I declared to publicize my experience. I am setting up the payment plan, and I plan to share my experience. I have sent her a similar email--continuing to request discussion. She has not responded. VERIFY ALL INFORMATION BEFORE SITTING ON HER CHAIR!
