I just posted a review for my new dentist (a good review), but it got me to thinking about Dr…read more Tietzer. Unfortunately, my current insurance isn't accepted by his practice, so I was forced to look elsewhere. I was a patient at his Chicago office on Foster Avenue for several years, and at a point where I REALLY needed a highly-skilled dentist. All of my ancient fillings were failing over the course of a few short years, and my mouth was a disaster. Since I lived nearby and didn't have a regular dentist (my old one retired), I decided to try my luck. I can honestly say, Dr. Tietzer is one of the friendliest and most easy-going doctors I've ever met. His staff as well, all very friendly and welcoming. While I'm not the nervous type when seeing the dentist, I know many are. If you're that type, I think you'll find everyone there very reassuring, and very gentle. From the outside, his office doesn't really stand out, and it's not the fanciest inside either. But so what? Near as I could tell, ALL of the equipment looked pretty new, and both Dr. Tietzer and his staff seemed to all be up-to-date with their skills. If he takes your insurance, great, but I was a cash customer. His rates were VERY favorable compared to other dentists in the area, so I could actually afford the crowns I needed. It's been quite awhile since I've seen him, but all of the crowns he put in are still holding on tight. Great work, top-notch. If you're in need of dentist I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Dr. Tietzer; you won't be disappointed. P.S.-- I see that this page is for his Des Plaines office, but I visited him at his Chicago office, on Foster near Kimball, in the North Park neighborhood. So, especially convenient for we city-dwellers.

I wish I had found Dr Tietzer years ago!…read more I needed three root canals and wasn't happy with my former dentist. I visited Dr Tietzer after a friend's recommendation. Dr. Tietzer was extremely gentle during the initial exam and really listened to my concerns & fears. During the three root canals I never felt any pain or discomfort and Dr Tietzer always asked how I was doing during the procedure. I have had no problems with the procedures or with the crowns, Dr Tietzer spent a lot of time making sure that the crown fit perfectly and that my bite was comfortable. I would highly recommend him, especially to people who are a bit nervous about dental work. Also Christina in the office is the best! Friendly and always manages to find an appointment that fits in my schedule. Rachel is great! Friendly, efficient and really left my teeth feeling clean without feeling sore. Rachel took the time to explain everything she was doing and why it was important. She also help to correct my flossing technique.

The office is shabby with ripped exam seats, dirty and old equipment, and inexperienced office staff. This practice does not appear to have a dental hygenist as the doctor performed the cleaning himself. His assistant was apparently untrained as the doctor needed to give her the simplest instructions during my exam and cleaning. What was the most concerning however was a substance the Dentist used on my teeth. I have extremely sensitive teeth and hygienists have used Aqua Seal to take the edge off the scraping. This dentist used a product I was unfamiliar with and I had a bad reaction to it. The product burned the inside of my lips. During the cleaning the suction tube was really large and had a sharp edge to it so when placed in my mouth it was painful. At the end of the cleaning the dentist did not floss my teeth. He also said using a sonic toothbrush was not a good idea?!? Both of my last dentists recommended one to help keep my gums clean. This dentist did find a filling that was failing and one tooth that needed a filling because of gum recession. However, based on my negative experience I do not recommend this practice.

Update: Sep19 2022 Summary:…read moreI rarely write online review... Unless there is something exceptional.. Just get back today from a quick root canal follow up visit with Dr. Burgener @ Wheaton office ... Couldn't be more happier with the result of root canal.( All the issues with tooth were fixed in just one previous visit ) ************************************************************ Below more details: ( For patients whoever want to know more) The Situation with my tooth was complicated (before root canal).. During the first visit , Dr. Burgener immediately point out there was serious Periodental Pocket around the tooth..If it is left untreated.. The tooth probably can not be saved eventually (even after root canal)... From that moment , I realize why she become Excellent Surgeon..(Looking at the root causes of a issue, foresee all other problem in the mouth that will cause future root canal failure...) Gum issues/ Disease is a different function(Periodentist) I was expecting her to say " After Root canal.. Suggest to see Periodentist) But she never say anything like that... To my surprise, As a talented Endodontist, She come up with a creative solution( Special filling with medication to cover the gum area).. So here I am , Within 2 Weeks after root canal.. My Gum @ that Problem tooth area come back( almost fully recovered) As we all know, Periodental pockets / Disease are difficult to treat...and very very slow recovery.. or in certain cases.. Can not be reversed at all. I feel I owe Dr Burgener a Big "Thank you".. She fix both the tooth problem( Root canal) and Periodental issue( Gum Pocket) in one visit for root canal. She is doing extra work( not her function at all) and don't even mention about it...( My original thought was I might need Periodental surgery or at least root scaling and planing with a Periodentist) Really appreciated for her Kindness. ************************************************************* BTW. One of my friend check on me lately and ask me how I am doing after root canal.. During the conversation , We find out we are seeing the same Endodontist(Dr Burgener) I was thrilled to know she drive all the way to Hinsdale ( That is a one hour drive for her..) to see Dr Burgener two years ago for a front tooth root canal.. The minute the two of us find out we are seeing the same doctor. Both of us smiled with a big relief... as we know we are in good hands and get top notch Endodontic care. My friend also give Dr. Burgener Thumbs up.

I have been very impressed by the time he takes to talk and explain procedures to your comfort zone! Dr. Eskoz is a specialist and works on procedures your dentist sends you to have done! They work together to accomplish root canals, implants, etc.! I had an emergency and I had no dentists due to insurance change, and the Dentist I had known was out of town! The Emergency Center I tried was using up all my insurance plus expecting me to charge lots of work...when ALL I wanted was 1 tooth out of pain! I didn't feel comfortable with the work this Center was proposing and had started! Because I Trust Dr. Eskoz, I visited his office in Lake in the Hills,which had a Great time slot open.... to seek his HELP and advice regarding my situation! Dr. Eskoz ... was very thorough and helpful by carefully checking the tooth in pain, and the work that was started by this Emergency Center...! The consultation he gave me I found priceless! I made my own decision and took the course that solved the issue! Thank you Dr. Eskoz for taking the time to care! Thank you also to the office staff for fitting me into a schedule so quickly...knowing I was in pain! You Folks are great! Sincerely Mrs. Criswell

I do not recommend this dentist or his staff. I went to my own dentist with pain and he referred me…read moreto Dr. Eskoz. My dentist called his office while I was yet in the chair. I heard the entire conversation. Included in that conversation he told the receptionist to hold the 3:45 appointment open for me and he told her that I would call her as well. As soon as I left my dentist's office I called Dr. Eskoz. All I got was an answering machine. I left a message saying who I was and I was confirming that I wanted the3:45 appointment and I left my phone # for them to contact me. At 3:45 I arrive at Dr. Eskoz office and went to speak to the receptionist and explained who I was and that My dentist had asked that they hold the 3:45 appointment for me. She said, "no he didn't" She may not have realized it but I heard him say that. She then told me, (in a rather snotty manner) that Dr. Eskoz was not in this office today and that I would have to have been at the appointment at 3:15 any way. I then explained that I had called several hours ago to confirm the appointment but I only reached an answering machine. So, I left a message. She then told said, "We've been very busy all day, we haven't listened to our messages." Is it my fault she didn't listen to the messages?! Especially when she should be expecting a call/referral from another dentist. The only reason I can come up with for making a new appointment at this dentist is that I was in bad pain and felt desperate. The appointment was for 2 days later! Thank goodness I had some pain killers left from my regular dentist to get me through. I arrived early for the next appointment. When Dr. Eskoz came in he explained that he would put me on an antibiotic and not start the root canal until the following Tuesday. I knew I would never make it as far as pain. I could not function already and I told him so. He prescribed some more pain meds. I was not happy but felt I had no choice. On my way home I find I had a message on my cell phone. The receptionist said Do not fill the prescription, do not take that medication. Apparently they felt there was possible problems with another medicine I was taking. I called the office back and got the receptionist but the office was closed and everyone else had left. I told her I can not possibly go through the long weekend with this pain (Thanksgiving weekend-4 days, office closed). She said she would call Dr. Eskoz and get back to me. Dr. Eskoz never got back to me. He didn't care that I was facing a long weekend of horrible pain. I filled the prescription anyway. I had already used this pain medicine with out any negative effects and I could barely stand the pain WITH this medicine. I think it was the following day that the receptionist said I could come in one day earlier, Monday afternoon instead of Tuesday afternoon. BIG WHOOP! I asked if Dr. Eskoz can't get me in any earlier than that, would he give me a prescription for something else? She said, " No, because you took the other medication when he told you not to, he won't give you anything. You can take Advil." So.... now he feels he has to discipline me for not wanting to be in pain while he goes home to his family for the Holiday weekend. Had he been a compassionate person, which in his line of business he should be, he would have called me back with another option so that I too could enjoy the weekend. He could have opened up the tooth right away, at that appointment. Yes that would have taken 1-2 hours but that would have relieved me of the pain. I'm venturing a guess, but I think no one wanted to delay their plans for the weekend. Who cares if a patient is in pain. Even if everything else had gone smoothly, I have to say, there is no warmth with any of the girls behind the desk. The one was downright cocky. People are imperfect and make mistakes. But this was bad attitude and selfishness.

In going to this office practice for an emergent cracked tooth, I found this office to be…read moreimmaculate from reception to release. I would not have known I was an impromptu appointment if I didn't have a medical background. I know the work they put in trying to see me, which is to be commended. They made time for me to be seen and treated promptly while going at my speed for care. My dentist was beyond capable, credible and kind during my appointment. He managed to save my tooth! He also allowed his hygienist to shine, a character quality not often found. The hygienist was professional, relatable and so thoughtful (I have a strong fear of dental work). Her work is in my mouth, and that speaks volumes!

I ADORE Dr. Sanghavi and her excellent team. I have a lot of anxiety about dental work in general,…read moreand I always feel perfectly at ease when going for an appointment. Dr. Sanghavi and all her staff are incredibly friendly, easygoing and (this helps my anxiety a lot) non-judgmental. (When you feel anxious about your dental state, it is wonderful to have a team who wants to help you fix problems and improve, rather than judging you for how your teeth got that way.) Also, the whole team is wonderful with children - I brought my three-year-old son here recently, and he had a great first dental experience. The office is wonderfully clean, state-of-the-art, and comfortable. Their sterilization setup is excellent and they use high-quality, well-maintained instrumentation. (Full disclosure: I formerly worked for a dental instrument manufacturer and have experience in infection and quality control, so I pay extremely close attention to these topics.) The quality of treatment is wonderful - the procedures are painless and efficient. As for aftercare, the one time I needed to contact the office following a procedure, they were very supportive and readily addressed all my questions and concerns. Mount Prospect Smiles is an excellent practice - I recommend Dr. Sanghavi and her team to anyone looking for a great dentist for the long-term. The dental experience is first-rate, but also the personal touch is unbeatable.

Such a bad experience with the receptionist making an appointment. This review has nothing to do…read morewith the dentist herself but in my opinion, it shows the quality of the clinic, overall. I first called last week to make an appointment. The first thing I asked the receptionist is whether or not they accept my insurance. She stated they do accept my insurance so I go about scheduling my appointment. Next, I get a call a few hours later telling me she can't confirm my member ID and insisted on moving my appointment another day. Not once have I had an issue with any clinic in the past have an issue with my member ID. I firmly requested to keep my appointment since I am confident my member ID is valid. On the morning of my appointment, She did not call me to confirm everything is fine so instead I call and she was able to confirm with the insurance company it is good to go. I than drive 40 minutes to mount prospect, and 2 hours before my appointment, I get a call from her they don't Suddenly accept my insurance. I don't understand how hard it is to for her to do her due diligence and make sure the patients insurance is valid before wasting their time and money. I find it awkward to keep calling the clinic to make sure everything is fine with the member ID. Keep in mind, I don't ever leave reviews even if there were a few mistakes, but this was just pathetic. Worst of all, I did not receive an apology so here I am leaving this review. Do a better job!
