Today I was told that they are busy and to leave a voicemail next time. I left a voicemail last week before closing about my aligners. ONE WEEK could shift my teeth in the wrong direction & if they are too busy to call back - why don't they find a more effective way to take care of their #1- oh yeah, the customers. Another time, I switched insurance and my insurance covered two cleanings per year. My gosh the amount of times I called the dentist and my insurance back and forth for a cleaning.... I just saw other Yelp reviews today, but have been coming for cleanings past year or more. I do like Dr Alex Portnoy (sp?) and most of the dental staff. Dr Alex takes the time to explain everything in detail and I enjoy the conversations between the staff during cleanings. It's the worst when i can feel tension between coworkers. Dr Robert (Bob) the orthodontist- also nice, however I got aligners and the past 5 weeks have been a hell of a struggle for a new patient. I have been on Google searching for answers, tips for newbies and ways to help get through the pain. I had zero idea what to expect...no one at the office answered the phone & I felt stranded with $7k bill and no help.

I recently visited NorthShore dental and my experience has been horrible…read more My appointment was set for 10 am and i reached at 945am as it was my first time in this facility. So i completed the formalities and waited...Waited..waited and waited till 1015 after which i asked when i was going to be seen. I was informed that my appointment is at 10:30am and should be coming up soon. That was the first time i got to know that my appointment time was changed and i wasnt even informed on that. However, anyways i had no other option but to wait and finally at around 10:50am i was called inside. So essentially i waited an hour before i was seen. Dr. Vernoski was my doctor and as soon as he looked at me, he asked me if we are doing Xray today as i am pregnant. I said No. He made a very weird face and mentioned that "i should have come before i became pregnant. Without X Ray he cannot do anything and its only the 30% of what he will know whats going on". That was the memorial day weekend and i felt that his X ray money was out of the window and he got very annoyed looking at me. Somehow i maintained my cool and said "thats the precise reason i am visiting dentist to make sure i dont have major issue which you may get while being pregnant. He started with the floss and kept saying that he doesnt have time to teach me how to floss, though I never asked for it. My gums were bleeding because of this pregnancy and i was in pain and thats why i was visiting the dentist. 3 mins in floss and another 5 mins in cleaning the teeth with the manual tool and thats it. I am done with the annual cleaning. I have visited many dentists in the past and never ever experienced some thing like this where not more than 8 mins were spent on cleaning. Another 5 mins of polishing and i was out by 11 am. So i spent more time waiting and less time on the chair with all kinds of blabbering from the doctor. Although he gave me a tip on how to take care of my teeth during this time but it was a horrible experience. Will never ever come back again.

I saw Dmitri Sokol for a consultation. During that visit, he took photographs with his camera and…read moreshowed me images he claimed were of my teeth. The images showed black lines on top of the teeth, a food pocket along the gumline, and a leaking silver filling on one tooth. I was immediately alarmed because I spend a significant amount of time and energy on my dental hygiene. These images did not match what I expected to see given how carefully I care for my teeth. Based on these images, he told me that the leaking silver filling indicated a cavity underneath and that I could lose my tooth if I did not have it replaced. I agreed to have the silver filling on my tooth replaced. Even though he had an x-ray, once he began drilling, he told me he had discovered a "crack" in the tooth. He then proceeded to perform a partial crown (onlay) instead of replacing the filling--which is what I agreed to. I walked in expecting a simple filling replacement. I walked out with a $2,138 partial crown that I never consented to. The black lines and food pocket he had shown me during the first visit were never mentioned again. Instead, he recommended that I get two crowns on two other teeth. I requested copies of the specific images he showed me during that first visit--the leaking silver filling, the black lines on top of the teeth, and the food pocket along the gumline. His office sent me other photos, but not those. When I asked again, they stopped responding. Given that they refused to provide these images, I have no way of knowing if the silver filling was actually leaking. I believe it was not. If it had been, they would have sent me the picture. I then saw another dentist for a second opinion. That dentist confirmed there are no black lines on my teeth. There is no food pocket. Based on the x-ray, there was no evidence indicating that the silver filling had leaked. Regarding the alleged crack discovered during drilling, the second dentist told me this was highly unlikely given that Dmitri Sokol had an x-ray of the tooth before starting the procedure. A crack large enough to require changing the procedure from a simple filling replacement to a partial crown should have been detectable with proper diagnostic tools. The two crowns he recommended were also not needed. The images Dmitri Sokol showed me were not of my teeth. They were used to create fear and urgency to justify work that was not needed. I am sharing this to warn others: get a second opinion before agreeing to any procedure recommended by this office.
