Dr. Joy and his staff got me in right away, no runaround, no waiting, even though it was an extremely busy day. Dr. Joy was incredible. He put together a thorough treatment plan, made sure I was comfortable and pain-free throughout the entire process, and handled absolutely everything. I couldn't have asked for better care. Five stars also to his assistant Anna who was so caring and reassuring. If you're looking for a dentist, someone who truly cares about patient comfort and quality dental care, I strongly recommend Dr. Joy. Laurie R.

I had been coming to Dr. Barnes for 10 years. Several incidents recently caused me to seek another…read moredental practice. 1) I had a change in my bite so significant that I could no longer whistle. It coincided with the start of wearing CPAP headgear for sleep apnea. I brought in the appliance. He would not look at it on my head saying it is not possible. I also brought a cast of my teeth from a few years prior to compare- he refused to look at it saying it wasn't necessary. (My new dentist identified that many people experience a change in byte with the onset of therapy) 2) I complained that there was a gap between teeth that smelled bad when flossing. He didn't X-ray the area. Instead he said, "he had one of those, too". (The new dentist used 3D xRay and found the source of the problem: a broken filling blocking the space between the teeth.) 3) In The summer of 2020 I had tooth pain and was headed to a remote location for a week and was concerned that it might get worse. Dr. Barnes was out of the office but referred me to an endodontist. Dr. Barnes never called afterwards to follow up that I was OK after he returned. 4) Dr. Barnes has not invested in any digital x-ray imaging stating other dentists are "lazy relying on it". The new equipment has so much less radiation that dental assistants don't even need to leave the room and they only place the lead apron on patients as they have come to expect it. (The new dentist identified 2 teeth that need root canals- I will continue to wonder if I wouldn't need this expensive intervention if caught earlier by Dr. Barnes.

Fast forward two years later, only to find out that the root canal I had performed was not done correctly. After seeing an endontist and two other specialists, I was informed that the post was put THROUGH my tooth and was sticking into my jaw. (please see the photo of the xray taken) As of yesterday, 11/12/2014, the tooth was removed, and a bone graft was put in place. What should have been a simple procedure is now going to cost nearly $5500. As I sat there yesterday, looking at the tooth with the hole right through it, it saddened me to know that I walked away from there and was not informed of the mistake the day that it occurred. I can only hope that other patients take great caution with their trust.

Dr. Ravi Amin is wonderful, and his staff are very friendly and helpful. Although I am a…read morepsychotherapist and not a dentist, I do understand how the clinical world functions. Dr. Amin and Smile Obsession is a private practice and NOT a corporate machine. This matters because any clinician (dentist, physician, psychotherapist) who has a private practice is more likely to be able to put ethical patient care as the top priority, rather than extra x-rays or tests to pad their billing and charge you more like a corporate model. I experienced that corporate mentality at another dental practice and that is why I left and chose Smile Obsession. Dr. Amin is very kind, grew up in the Chicago area, and returned here after dental school at UCLA. I was impressed that he was willing to leave that California sunshine to come back to Illinois. He is very gentle, so if you have any anxiety about seeing a dentist he will help you feel safe and relaxed. Top notch in every way!! Like Comment

After doing much research, I found The Dental Studio and was impressed by the many great reviews. I've had lots of work done since then, and the combination of sedation, nitrous oxide and their gentle hands have made my appointments enjoyable. Today, I had an appointment for a checkup, and I honestly had ZERO anxiety before the appointment. I no longer dread going to the dentist! And, I also appreciate how their office does not feel like a sterile medical office; it's cozy and decorated like your friend's home. They also think of every possible comfort for the patient, including sunglasses to alleviate the glare of overhead lights, a weighted blanket, a tv for watching any favorite show during your procedure, and more. Even more important is that Dr. Erica and her wonderful team take time to explain everything, including what they are doing and why. They want you to be as comfortable as possible. And there's a complete lack of judgment. In the past, I've had absolutely no control over my dental experiences. The work was performed with very little concern for my pain and comfort. I've even experienced being held down during a difficult procedure with no painkillers and the same thing happened with my son when he was three. Marathon Man, anyone? At The Dental Studio, I feel that I have regained that control and that I am more than just a number. It is truly a patient-oriented experience here. I wish more of the medical profession would take notes from The Dental Studio. I also wish I could give them 10 stars!!! To show how much I love this practice, they are out of my insurance network. But they also offer a wonderful membership option to help! Don't hesitate - you'll love this practice too!
