Came in as a new patient for Dr. EMILY CHEN, but somehow Dr. SANA BAIG saw me instead. It was not a huge deal to me at all since she gave me some solid advice. Now my main complaint about this place. As new patient, they did Xray first, then Doctor check, then cleaning. The Xray technician was horrible. It took him a total of 25 mins to just to get everything correct. Never had someone took that long to get all the xray necessary. HYGINIEST. I've been going to dentist religiously for quite some time now and I have never, ever had a horrible hyginiest experience ever until I got here. Even working as solo, a lot of hygienist are able to properly do their job and not make a mess on patient's face. 1. Why does hyginiest gotta ask me if im okay every 20s? It was already established that i would raise my left hand if I wanted to stop whatever she was doing. 2. Too much water I might as well bring a soap and shampoo and take a shower. She wasn't attentive of overflowing water in mouth and would say "I was focused on cleaning your teeth".. 3. Why she gotta physically close my mouth after saying close your mouth? People know how suction works.. ‍‍‍ Like hello?? Never had a hyginiest physically close my mouth just to do suction! 4. She didnt Floss under my bridge and she was "teaching" me how to floss. She also left a broken piece of floss in between my teeth and she didnt noticed it until I said redo the part since i feel something stuck in my teeth. 5. Always looking whos walking by like hello focus your eyes on me. That's why you didnt notice if water is leaking out of my mouth. She looks like she's not confident with her work or asking validation if shes doing a good job‍‍ 6. Xray tech took forever to do xray smh. Do better. Are you even supposed to use your hand to prop the device? This guy really placing his hand in radiation zone.

My mom is a former dental hygienist so all of my former dentists were some of her colleagues. While…read morethey were excellent dentists, some of them could have used a few lessons in patient services which I think indirectly made me nervous about dentists. Dr. Dalia is the first "outside the industry bubble" for me, but I was super impressed by this place! The actual place is super comfortable and relaxing. Nice music and what they have on the TV is a little odd, but I was able to change the channel. They put on those home flipper shows which makes me think that this place is mostly Sauganash Moms lol. They have Hulu and Netflix so...cool! As you probably can already tell, I am used to a real "old school" dentist so I was very impressed by all the doodads and technology they had which greatly improved my comfort and made a much better memory of a dentist office. I was in for a DEEP cleaning which was done with a load of novacane. While she really numbed me down alot, her assessment for how long it was going to last was accurate. She was also a bit faster than I expected, but her work got my "mom's seal of approval lol" (she wanted to see). I will admit that it has been awhile since I have been in for a cleaning so I have some work cut out for me. Still, Dr. Dalia explained it to me like I was an adult and didn't try to dumb it down. She was able to use technology like my mouth was a football field and she was drawing up plays. I kind of liked that. One overlooked part was the cost and insurance. While it was still "expensive", the prices did match up with what my insurance estimated it would be. I know one of the biggest problems with dentists are insurance. This office seems to have it down and provides quite a bit of transparency of how much it costs. Since my parents paid for my dental work growing up, I have never seen a bill for something quali major. At "worst" the prices here are fair which for a medical/dental practice, is still pretty positive. We will see how my next appointments go, but Dr. Dalia was awesome and I am glad I finally stopped by to get my teeth worked on.

The cleaning I received was thorough and my teeth never looked so clean. She mentioned one of my teeth had a split going across it where a filling was and recommended I get a cap before it brakes and causes more trouble and pain. The procedure was quick and easy and I'm so glad I did. The color matches and I'm so happy with the results. She also bonded my front tooth which cracked which I've been living with for a while. It's made such a difference in my smile. Highly recommend Dr. Delia you won't be disappointed

I have Aetna DMO (which is a HORRIBLE plan because it seems that only really sketchy dentists…read moreaccept that type of insurance around Chicago) and had a horrible(!) experience at another dentist in Skokie. After that, I got a recommendation from a friend (whose father and father-in-law were both dentists) to check out Dr. Dave McWhinnie at Smiles of Skokie. I am so glad that I went here. The office staff and hygienists were all super friendly. After visiting way too many sketchy dentist offices in strip malls around Chicago, their office and facilities were a breath of fresh air. New equipment, bright exam rooms and nice decorations. Dr. Dave is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and really does talk you through each step of the exam and appointment. He wants to make sure you don't feel any pain at all. I had one dentist who attempted to numb me with anesthetic 3 different times, and I could still feel the drill. Dr. Dave did it once and I was good and numb in no time - didn't feel a thing. Finding a dentist you like and trust is incredibly difficult, I think. But I can assure you that if you go and check out Dr. Dave at Smiles of Skokie - your search will be over. Hope your experience is as good as mine was.

The first thing the doctor said after checking $200 worth of CT scan and over $50 worth of x-rays is "I don't know." He said that he might do a root canal but first they gotta check with the insurance if they will pay or no. Some days later, I receive a call from the old lady that works at the front desk, talking about money and payment, and when I asked her about a charge that was on my dental insurance, she started acting like she cannot hear me, and from the way she acted, it was obvious that she was making it up. The moment I walked into the dentist, it was obvious that all they cared about was the money, not to treat people because they spoke to me more about money than about my condition, especially the front desk lady. She's very unprofessional and she kicks clients away with her attitude.

Here. Come here. Going to the dentist, any dentist office is terrifying for me. I've grown up with…read moreissues with my oral health and had a horrible root canal experience when I was little so when I heard I needed another root canal, it was daunting. My body genuinely froze in fear and I pleaded with my dentist to find another way. She told me it could not be delayed anymore and offered me a few different referrals. When discovering how much it was going to cost (my dental insurance had been maxed out for the year), I felt even more defeated. I called the offices that my dentist suggested, Dr. Karras being one of the options, as well as a handful of other endodontists. Dr. Karras was on par with most of the endodontists I had called, but I decided to go with him because my dentist was sooooo insistent that Dr. Karras is the BEST for root canals and that is who she trusts as her endodontist. I really did believe my dentist when she said it because she had repeated it so many times but I couldn't help but feel so terrified because of my first root canal experience being so horrible. However, the experience at Dr. Karras's office was fantastic from start to finish. Anda who was the woman I spoke with on the phone was empathetic, direct, and was so helpful when I was asking questions about the service and costs. A lot of other places were clearly annoyed with my questions about cost and a little ambiguous on what the total cost would be but Anda had no problem being direct which put my heart at ease. She was also so kind and understanding when I was telling her I was struggling because of the pain I was in with my tooth but still felt hesitant to pay out of pocket. I felt like the other offices were just a "say you'll pay or just hang up" attitude. The technician I had for the root canal was also amazing. I so wish I remembered her name because she was SO sweet. She was so empathetic and really put her best effort to help calm me down when I was shaking from fear. She asked me questions about my life to distract me, told me about herself, and even offered to hold my hand when I was getting overwhelmed. With an office with such great employees, it's no surprise that Dr. Karras is just as amazing. He seems intimidating at first because he just has a strong presence and is very straight-forward but he clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He was patient with me when I was telling him I was scared and was literally shaking and breathing heavily from fear. He just told me not to worry he was nonchalant but not in a passive or arrogant way at all. It was just confirming that he was an expert and to trust him. I have to say, it was pretty painless. Not AT ALL like my first experience. It obviously was a little painful for the numbing shots since the area was highly sensitive but other than that and the intial drilling for the numbing shot for the tooth, it was like like wham bam done. I know my dentist said Dr. Karras was the best but this was even better than my expectations! Root canals are no longer one of my fears in life! Though...I still hope I don't need anymore. I highly commend AND recommend the Karras Endotontist team. I really can't say enough about all of them. I am truly grateful.
