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.

In addition, I never realized that I was grinding my teeth until visiting this office. This was the first dentist that brought it up to me, even though some of my teeth are visibly ground down. The dental hygienists are very kind, explain why they do what they do, and are very gentle with teeth sensitivity. I would especially recommend Dr. Chun and his team to anyone with dental or medical anxiety or tooth sensitivity.

I do not like to mention names and be a hater, but do not go to see Dr. David Behm at 5600 N. Sheridan. The diploma on the wall says Loyola University, but it seems like he received his training at a North Korean prison camp. So much for bad memories. I am glad that my wife noticed Evanston Family Dental Associates. Since my wife went in for a cleaning with Dr. Berman, I have not had to worry about finding a dentist. Dr. Berman has done a great job with cleanings, and taking care of two fillings. She is very professional, gives you a straight forward explanation, and makes sure that the experience is as pain free as possible. Overall, the office is very clean, the entire staff is very friendly, and you can't go wrong with a dental office that has WXRT playing throughout their facility.

Practices like this are why some people view the entire dental profession with distrust…read more This office pushed me into unnecessary and expensive procedures. They play up a sense of urgency and heavy handed tactics to get you to agree. My biggest regret is not getting a second opinion. For all their modernity, they are incapable of gathering an accurate estimate from your insurance. I have never had this experience with any other dental practice; the final bill has always aligned with the insurance estimate. At Artful Smiles, the bill was always, always significantly more than the delivered estimate. When I questioned the office on this, they told me to take it up with my insurance. Again, I have never had another dental practice (or doctor's office) do this. To give some idea of how absurd their pricing is, I was quoted $1,000 (with insurance!) for a crown. I am mortified to say I just accepted this without question. The final bill, however, was nearly $2,000 for a single crown. The crown broke down within a few years. I had a replacement done at North Shore Dental down the street for under $400. This office profits on scamming their clients and exploiting people in need of care. There are plenty of honest dentists in Evanston; I urge you to entrust your dental care to anyone other than these scam artists.

I have been going to Artful Smiles for a while, and while the care is generally good, I am getting…read moresick of them pushing random extra treatments, especially when they don't fully explain what they are. They convinced me to do Invisalign a few years ago. Not covered by my insurance, and the only discount they offered was if I paid in full up front. So, sure, I did it, and yes, I am glad I did it in the end, but the process was very frustrating. They said I would be swapping out aligners over the course of about 8 months, but that it could take a little longer. They did not explain that they would be placing semi-permanent attachments on my teeth until I was sitting in the chair. I felt like, oh, this is basically the same thing as having braces again. I followed all of their instructions, but it still took about two years to finish the process. At what I thought was the end of my Invisalign treatment, since they said it was the end, they had me sign a piece of paper that said they actually recommended further treatment. They'd been "fine-tuning" everything on the top, but apparently thought something else was needed on the bottom, but hadn't addressed that in the six months prior, so that I could have been wearing different bottom aligners, or something? I was vexed at this complete lack of information, only to have a hygienist sit down to put a wire retainer on the inside of my bottom teeth without saying ANYTHING. I had to ask, wait, what are you doing??? All of the Invisalign aside, they also recommended me for gum graft surgery to fix some gum recession, something that wearing those retainers for months/years actually exacerbates, yet another thing that was never explained. The last two times I have gone in for a cleaning, I really didn't like the male hygienist at all. He was very heavy-handed, poking my gums to measure each tooth for recession, and then "check for bleeding," like, yeah, my gums might bleed if you're jamming a metal pick into them. He also pulled up my X-rays and pointed at a couple of different spots and was like, "Yeah, these look like they're going to turn into cavities," before pushing some new spot-treatment. There was literally nothing on the X-ray to see, and I really wondered why the hygienist and not the actual dentist would be making calls like that. I've had one cavity in my entire life (of course, discovered and filled at Artful Smiles), so I was pissed off that this guy was pushing yet another expensive "treatment," yet again without any explanation of what it is, the cost or how long the "treatment" takes. After looking it up, I saw that it's very expensive, not covered by insurance, I guess approved in the US, but not widely used by dentists. Maybe it's great for some people, but I did not appreciate the aggressiveness. I shouldn't have to fend off unnecessary costs every time I get a cleaning.

Then the hygienist kept insisting I was there for a cleaning. But I was only interested in a consultation. We agreed on a treatment plan and I paid them 1345.00. To cover the first visit 345$ and 1000$ towards my next visit. Second visit was to see an oral surgeon, have 3 teeth removed and to start a deep cleaning. Before this visit I was supposed to take antibiotics and pain killers. I went to my pharmacy to pick the medicine up, and it had been sent to a Walgreens, miles from my house, instead of my usual Isco pharmacy that I'd told them to send the prescription. At this appointment I was charged 6605$. The appointment was for 9:30, an hour later the surgeon shows up, not even knowing I was on his calendar for the day, then refused to perform the surgery. "My partner missed a day of work to accompany me" They started a partial deep cleaning and I was told the visit would be comped, due to lack of professionalism. After this visit I called to find out the balance of my account. I have insurance paying a portion and I am responsible for the rest. The BOOK KEEPER, is never available, and no one in the office can explain what I have paid for and what I still owe. So I was told by DR Ami that I would be refunded 100% since I'd already over paid by thousands for the work I'd had done Third appointment was to continue the deep cleaning. Once again I tried to get some knowledge of my bill and what I had paid for. Again, the book keeper was unavailable. I never made an appointment to finish the deep cleaning, they still owe me $456.00 and refuse to communicate with me any longer. So in short. If you want to pay thousands of dollars for unprofessional service, and billing with no explanation this is your dentist.
