Dr Marcus and his staff are fantastic! Always so friendly and welcoming and incredibly skilled. I'm so glad that I came to them!!! My local dentist suggested a very drastic approach but Dr Marcus had a better approach - I totally trust him! If I had been working W him for the past 15 yrs, I'm Confident that my teeth wouldn't have gotten so bad. He's literally the best !! read more

I started using DR. David Marcus 60 years ago and after I knocked out my two front teeth he did everything to make the problem and pain minimum. At age 85 I started having problems with my front teeth again and Michael worked with me for 6 months to solve the problem. I am convinced he is the best dentist anyone can see and I tell him that read more

Dr Marcus is a true master craftsman with remarkable skills and talent. He diagnosed my problem, created a solution and implemented it efficiently and painlessly. read more

I normally only write restaurant reviews but am so taken with the care and treatment I have received I decided to share my excellent experiences... My dentist retired after 35 years of service to me and my family. I needed to find another professional like my old one - personable, flexible, caring and competent. I asked my neighbors who they saw for dental care and Dr. Marcus' name came up along with one other whose practices are both downtown Chicago. I decided to try Dr. Marcus because, frankly, the other dentist people really liked is a lot older than me. I do not want to have to change dentists again in my lifetime. So, anyway, I got a an appointment fairly quickly. I had the old dentist email the x-rays and records to Dr. Marcus. This all went easy-peasy! His staff called me to tell me everything had arrived. My first visit resulted in an exam like I have never had. His staff took whole mouth x-rays, a history and other stuff with devices that still baffle me. I learned in the subsequent visits that Dr. Marcus has the most current and up to date technology modern dentistry offers. In fact most of his equipment is stuff I never saw in my old dentist's office. I also learned that he does extensive continuing education and training with the latest equipment like lasers, 3D mouth modeling and other things I am not competent to comment on. He also has mentioned new techniques that he has learned to increase positive patient experiences and reduce future problems. I have seen him and or his staff (his hygienist is as great as he is) four times already for semi-annual cleanings and exams and every visit has been wonderful. I have also had some treatment appointments that were just as pleasant and successful. I really enjoy Dr. Marcus' bedside manner, his thorough explanations of my care and treatment and the professional staff in his practice. He has an easy going nature and inspires confidence. I can't sing his and his practice's praises highly enough. I would recommend him unreservedly (and have done so to my neighbors and reported back to those who were good enough to tell me about him). read more

Michael Marcus is the BEST dentist I have ever had! I have been a patient of his for over 20 Years!!!

I have to start by saying that Marcus Dental is hands down the best dental practice you'll find in Chicago, if not the entire state of Illinois. After a nerve-wracking experience with a simple filling at another dentist's office, I was hesitant to undergo any more procedures. But Marcus immediately put me at ease with his humor and exceptional bedside manner. Ashley, his assistant, is equally fantastic - her energy is contagious. I recently had three fillings done, and I can honestly say I didn't feel any pain. The anesthesia injection was so gentle, it felt like my gums were being lightly rubbed. For anyone with a fear of the dentist, I highly recommend Marcus Dental - they'll make that fear disappear. Thank you, Marcus Dental read more

He completely messed up my bite and jaw. Just run. Go anywhere else but to this dentist. You'll notice he has multiple pages on yelp, because unlike Google he's been unable to remove the old negative reviews. read more

Okay, I'm back! I wrote an initial review about Dr. Marcus' Dental Practice back in 2012!!! And, guess what!? Today I'm here to tell you that I recently had a brand new Implant procedure done by Dr. Marcus. I was really scared, but honestly it was practically painless. When Dr. Marcus suggested I should have one, because my former bridge was always coming loose, I was more afraid of the "thought" of a screw being down in my jaw bone, when in reality my body just had to adjust to it. And today it's been about a week since I had it done, and my mouth feels wonderful! If you're thinking about trying a permanent fix to your smile, I suggest implants might be the way to go! The Marcus Dental Practice is STILL the most professional, friendly, efficient and "pain-free" dentist office I know! read more

After dissatisfaction w/my previous 2 general dentists my highly acclaimed periodontist recommended Dr. Michael Marcus who is truly exceptional. Being oIder I probably see the dentist more often than most. Dr. Marcus makes visits as painless and expeditious as possible. He's trustworthy, accommodating up to date on latest procedures and most often in a jocular mood. Honestly, going to the dentist is never fun but make the best of it, check out Dr. Marcus! read more

I promise you will not be disappointed if you choose Marcus Dental Practice for your dentistry. read more

Marcus Dental Practice - General Dentistry Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been going to Dr. Michael Marcus consistently for 19 years now and cannot say enough great things about him and his staff. I was on vacation and my tooth cracked and got a person call from Dr. Marcus on a Saturday night to get me in the second I got back from vacation. How's that for personal attention. I have never been canceled on, I have always gotten great advise from him and his entire team and would recommend him to everyone. Thanks for the last two decades, and here's to the next 20. read more

(This review is long overdue) Being a self confessed sugaraholic, I see dr marcus quite often. He is knowledgeable, extremely gentle, and im almost certain a tooth whisperer:) The staff ALWAYS goes above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and accommodate my crazy schedule needs. By far one of the best I've ever been to! read more

Dr. Marcus and his team are wonderful. It is very clear that they all love their job and they work very hard to make their patients happy. They are timely, patient, and intelligent. I could not recommend them more! They make what sometimes can be an unenjoyable or uncomfortable process absolutely lovely. I walk out with a big smile on my face. read more

I agree Dr. Marcus (Michael) is a great dentist! I've been going to him for about 7 years now. I have had EVER dental problem known to man and did some serious research before I chose Dr. Marcus. Since I've gone to him I've had to have more surgery, but he's been very nice and helpful. Joan is wonderful too. All my friends go to Dr. Marcus now too! read more

I have had the pleasure of going to Dr. M for the last 20+ years and let's not forget Joan, his hygienist, who is also superb at her job. In the past, I have rushed to Dr. M for what I believed to be a cavity, only to find out, through his proficient, thorough patient investigation, that it was in fact a cracked tooth in close proximity to the pain. Dr. M has also helped me with obtaining a mouth guard for my sleep apnea. I trust his knowledge and expertise so much, that now I have embarked and invested on a 2 1/2 to 3 yr. dental transformation and cannot wait until he has worked his magic. Thank you Dr. Marcus a/k/a Dr. Painless! read more

This is the best dentist office I've been to. I come from the burbs to see Dr. Marcus. The staff is friendly and efficient and the doctors are quick and to the point. I don't feel neglected or over treated. I've been to some places where they tack on all these "extra" things that you don't really need. My wife's family has been coming to Dr. Marcus for years and they even managed to save the mother in law's teeth. Or something. They use state of the art treatments which I really appreciate, like lasers to stimulate bone growth. How cool is that?! Lasers! I'd recommend this office to anyone who needs a new dentist or is even thinking about switching. Its a great office and the staff is really just amazing. read more

Seriiously, when it comes to dentistry work, if I could, I would liken Dr. Marcus' practice to fine artwork, one that could not be replicated. In fact, I'm telling "you" and everyone I know about Dr. Marcus' practice because most people are so frightened of going to the dentist. Trust me this experience is unique. I consider Dr. Marcus' methods (and staff) pain-free dentistry. Where are you going to find any dentist that you can say that about--no where. I have recommended Dr. Marcus' practice to practically everyone I know that needs a dentist, and I suggest if you're reading this to give them a try. They are great, professional and always, always on time. Caution, if you are late for your appointment, egregiously so, say 20 minutes or more, then you will have to reschedule -- they do not want to burden the next client in line for their on-time appointment. By the way, this only had to happen to me once -- after an unusual incident of me being awfully late. I appreciate the time and care they take to make sure you get on-time professional service. I have been going to Dr. Marcus I believe about 10 years, I'm not really sure. It seems like forever and I get compliments on my smile all the time! Joan, Dawn, Allison, and all of the staff there are the best! If you want prompt, professional service and good music (for surgery--your choice), then by all means this is the only dentist office to visit. read more

I'm incredibly frustrated by this practice. I've had TMJ for weeks and after waiting 6 weeks, finally got in to see the Dentist to be offered a $8,000 out-of-pocket solution -- after paying $400 just to be seen. They are out of network for all insurance even though when I called, I was told they take insurance. I hate to think they are deliberately scheming clients as I enjoyed meeting the doctor and he seemed credible, but am not sure what else to think right now. The billing person was also incredibly pushy and did not seem to think $8,000 was a big deal?! read more

I have been going here for years. From the beginning to the end of each visit, the doctor and his staff are highly capable, professional, friendly and caring. I couldn't ask for anything more. read more

I just adore my longtime dentist, Michael Marcus (the son of the father and son duo). He's incredibly thorough, and all the hygienists are super nice - Joan is my favorite. They all remember who I am when I go in. If you're like me, you don't know a thing about dentistry or what all that tinkering in there means -- so bedside manner is important. In this area, Dr. Marcus is the best - he always lets you pick music, and remembers what you do for a living, etc. Just a super nice, great guy. His practice also uses state of the art equipment - he's always got some fun new toy. I've referred many friends and they agree -- worth every penny! read more

i wish i could give more stars! my appt w Dr Marcus was Life Changing!!! i went in for a 2nd opinion, my crown was chipped & hurting. Dr M told me i was clenching & told me i was not getting deep sleep.... well i am 53 yr old, always tired, never had dreams & on days off tried to rest... he suggested a tiny bite block, the first night i had so many dreams! i woke up rested for the first time... i cant thank him enough, the other dentist i went to took loads of xrays, said i was fine and sent me on my way... i am so glad i took my friends advice to visit Dr M. Marcus... the staff is also very friendly!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Michael Marcus for four years now~ This may be hard to believe, but I actually ENJOY going to the dentist now. I hadn't been to the dentist in years because previous dental visits with a number of different dentists were very unpleasant. Joan is my hygienist and she's a joy to see every visit. Sturdy & precise hands- never any discomfort. The entire office staff is delightful. I highly recommend with no reservations. read more

I have been going to Dr. Michael Marcus for about five years now. My entire family goes to him. I give them five-stars on every point. The whole team is excellent. Dawn is impeccably professional. She has been more than understanding on several occasions when I had to cancel or re-schedule last minute. (I was even exasperating to myself, and I must have inconvenienced them, but Dawn has always been patient.) And the office is very prompt. In all these years, I have never waited more than a few minutes past my appointment time. As a young lawyer who (like all their clients, I'm sure) has to struggle with a super-packed schedule, that is invaluable. The hygienists are also very professional and very skilled. They always explain what they are doing, and they are very careful and gentle, never rough or rushing through their work. Dr. Marcus is also great, of course. He keeps up with recent developments in technology and prevention/early detection tools. Every time I talk to him I get the impression that he's always trying to learn more about his field of practice. I have also always felt that he really listens to what I have to say and is never too busy for a thorough exam. I trust him. This is all not to mention that everyone who works there is disarmingly friendly. They remember my name and what I do for a living and are happy to talk to me about themselves and are just generally pleasant to be around. read more

My girlfriends and I call him Dr God!! Outstanding customer service really cares about his patients and it shows. Dr Marcus is always educating himself read more

In April I went to see Dr. Marcus after I had an unpleasant expereince with a dentiist. I could not say enough about Dr. MArcus and all of his staff. Dr. Marcus is very personable, he guided me through all of the procedures that he was doing and edcuated me along the way which helped me relax. Dr. Marcus's high standards of care, his attention to detail and his superior dental skills while treating me were expectional! Through out the whole procedure I never felt any pain or discomfort. His dental assistant Lourdes suctioning of water from my mouth was done so gently and she made sure my face was clean at all times. Dr. Marcus even called my home that evening to follow up with me. Exceptional staff. This office provides the highest stand of dental care I have ever seen. read more

Both Dr. David Marcus and Dr. Michael Marcus have a winning combination--great skill and and great people. I had trouble with several dentists before seeing them, and four straight years of dental problems, but no more--I have been going there for seven years now. Dr. Michael Marcus did an amazing repair to two teeth, and they have been fine ever since. I have had a "perfect record" thanks to them, and to their wonderful dental hygienist Joan. Dr. Martha H. read more

Dr. Marcus (Michael) is truly a life saver! He is the super hero of all dentists. He is the most understanding, gentle, compassionate dentist who takes the time to make you feel comfortable and safe. I have serious fears of the dentist from horrible past experiences, but Dr. Marcus takes away all my worries. He is super smart and is not fast to pull the trigger on doing dental work unless it is absolutely necessary. Plus, he gives the best shots ever. I barely feel a poke any time I need a shot. The employees in the office are lovely. They are professional and they really care. Bottom line is that I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Marcus. I truly do not know what I would do without him as a dentist. read more

I suspected that Dr. Marcus is scheming patients from the first day I met him. He sent me instantly to his friend for a cat-scan, which was not needed at all. I let it slide thinking that he probably does it all the time and may be that was the first and last incident of scheming. Dr. Marcus suggested he can miraculously cure headaches. I came for an appointment hoping he will provide an explanation and suggestions. I was unpleasantly surprised that instead an explanation I got a generic story of a root cause analysis for dummies. For two hours his assistant was doing some alignment tests only to find out that nothing is wrong with me. When he saw results, he was disappointed and suggested that buy dental appliances (like silly braces), which I said I would never even consider wearing. Since the entire purpose of that scheme was to sell me those appliances, he got even more disappointed and pushed really hard on my jaw joints. He ended the appointment with a suggestion to come back when I am ready. As a result of his actions I got really sick. It has been a month since then and I am still sick. The inflammation of lymph he intentionally caused spread all over my head. I had been on three antibiotics, stayed in a hospital, my headaches and fever do not stop. That is what greed does to a medicine. Doctors are sales people and they punish severely those who have common sense and do not buy from them. I thought it is my responsibility to share my story with others to prevent additional harm he may cause to my fellow patients. read more

I have been going to Dr. Marcus for years. He and his staff are fantastic. The folks at the front desk are particularly helpful in handling insurance and payment issues when they arise. read more

Terrible staff. They booked me two months out, fair enough Dr Marcus must be popular. I booked for a Monday and Friday of the same week, knowing I'd be away for business Tue/Wed/Thur and then when I got a reminder of my appointment they had the dates wrong and they'd booked me for the Thursday. Obviously I could not make that date as since I would be in a different State all together. They offered to correct their error and rebook me, for a date two months out again! 4 months to get into see Dr Marcus!! No thank you. Hire a staff that knows what they are doing. I obviously took my business elsewhere. read more

I've been going to Dr. Marcus (Michael) for the past 7 years and he and his entire team are terrific. He and his dad run the place and I hear his dad is great, too, but I am basing my review here on the son. I haven't had great luck with dentists, so I was not looking forward to my first visit, despite a glowing review from a friend. But he has lived up to the hype - I've had two crowns and the procedures were quick and painless. I convinced my husband to switch from his old dentist, whom I didn't like but my husband "didn't mind." But now my husband agrees - Dr. Marcus is far better than any dentist we've ever visited. He's careful, friendly, and has a great reception staff and good hygienists. He also has the latest and greatest gadgets - they help him do a great job. No waiting for a crown to come back - he creates them on site. He's right in the loop, so if you work downtown, you can visit on a lunch break. If you had asked me 7 years ago if I would rate any dentist 5 stars I would have looked at you like you were crazy. read more

I've been going to Dr. Marcus for a few years now; the above reviews are all exactly right.

Dr. Marcus' was the one of the best dentistry offices I have been to. He was professional and helpful to my questions and concerns and had made me feel like I was genuinely cared for. And the hygienist - Joan had always been super careful and attentive at my cleaning appointments. The receptionist staff was really nice and responsive too. It's overall a wonderful practice and a place like this is hard to find these days. read more

Dr. Marcus and his team are absolutely fantastic! I was traveling through Chicago at the beginning of a very long trip and chipped a tooth. He and his team could not have been more hospitable, they treated me as if I had been a long time patient. By the end of the visit, I felt like I was one of his long term clients! They could not have been more professional, happy, funny and pleasant to have the work performed! Cannot say enough good about this dental practice!! Thanks Doc, to you and your team! Best, Barrett read more
