I visited Bucktown Dental for a crown procedure in the beginning of 2014. Around the end of the…read moreyear, my "permanent" crown fell out and I went back to get it cemented on again. The receptionist assured me that the second visit will cost me nothing - the total cost has been paid in the first visit. Fast-forward to 2016, I get a call from a collection agency about a balance due at the end of 2014. All of my calls and e-mails to Bucktown Dental have been ignored or "their billing person is unavailable". I feel this is highly unprofessional and unethical.

She called around and Dr. Wostl was in her network and was able to get in and see him right away. She came home raving avout the service to the extent that I felt as though I would be providing them a disservice by not writing this review. They greeted her at the door, not even allowing her to sit down first. The staff is very upbeat. The team cohesiveness is outstanding likely due to the many years they have worked together. Dr. Wostl explained to her in detail everything about her cracked tooth and thoroughly explained her options. Today she is feeling much better thanks to Dr. Wostl and his staff. She even decided to make him her new dentist even though she lives an hour and a half away.

When it comes to dental I value 3 things above all in no particular order:…read more1. Receptionist 2. place 3. Dentist The receptionist is very accommodating as far as I could tell with the few conversations I had with her. She was very helpful in calling my insurance for me and verifying that I did have coverage so that I did not have to pay. Kudos to her. The Dentist, Dr.Blanas had practiced in this exact location for 19 years. That really surprised me but at the same time gave her credibility. She was born in Greece and came to US at a very young age. She graduated with a Bio-chem degree from University of Illinois in 1985 and then went through training in dentistry and started her practice. Dr Blanas seemed to be a kind person and eager to share her experiences with me. My cleaning took about 20 mins and she actually did everything herself. I was not used to that because I had always been cleaned by a dental hygienist. And the real dentist always runs by at the end and poke my teeth for 30 seconds with a sharp tool and start speaking in codes to the hygienist about my teeth. Well, Dr. Balans did everything herself, and she was gentle in movements. Not soft but gentle. The worse I have to say has to be the place. It is directly east of the Evanston Public library in this old multi-story building. It felt like either going into an old apartment or an empty lecture hall. I could hardly find the dental place because many rooms seemed to be unoccupied. Not the best location in terms of ambiance, but heck, it was only 1 block from where I live.

Hate dentists? Terrified to make an appointment because you know there's an ongoing apocalypse in…read moreyour mouth that no dental professional has ever been able to handle without causing significant pain and stress? That was me, and I can't recommend Dr. Blanas dental practice enough. I have, unfortunately, vast experience with dental-professionals. I had some form of orthodonture in my mouth from 3rd through 9th grade, then spent most of my 20s embroiled in one tooth crisis after another, including a botched root canal procedure. In the fallout of the latter, around when I turned 30, I stopped going to the dentist for multiple years, till my wife scheduled me an appointment here. Dr. Blanas is in the charmingly art-deco Carlson Building, across from the library. Inside, it's a bit of a rabbit warren of offices, but her practice is clearly listed on the directory in the lobby, and easy to find. The waiting room is clean and small, with possibly the largest selection of current magazines I've ever found in a medical/dental office. No more reading a 2007 issue of Sports Illustrated about the Red Sox hot streak, or a 1991 issue of Vogue proclaiming that culottes are back. The new month's magazines come in, and they toss the old ones. I've only had good experiences with the receptionist staff, who keep the Dr. Blanas calendar, not on a computer, but handwritten in a calendar-book, and will show you the availability on particular days and at particular times, rather than just telling you "Well, the only time we have for a followup appointment is 3 months from now, at 7:30 a.m. on a Tuesday". They call the day before to confirm your appointment, and are always friendly and respectful. They also handle all of the insurance and billing: my wife M and I have never had an issue with our Delta Dental coverage in this office. Dr. Blanas dental exam rooms all have views of the trees and street outside, which is nice. The room(s) are decorated cheerily, with some original art work, (e.g. not inspirational posters or pre-framed, mass-produced Thomas Kinkade knockoff landscapes) and sometimes with seasonal themes, but never cluttered. As noted by at least one other reviewer, Dr. Blanas does virtually all the work for the dental exam and cleaning. She's very open about her experience as a dentist, world-views, and her dental philosophy, and generally maintains a running banter about the weather, politics, art, or whatever you want to talk (or hear) about. Obviously, the patient can't do much talking while she's cleaning or filling, but I really enjoy her running commentary, as in the past I've felt like the dentist or hygienists silence has been oppressive and ominous, and I never know what's going on in my mouth till it's sprung on me at the very end. Dr. Blanas method greatly increases transparency about what she's doing in there, and greatly reduces my personal stress at being in the chair. She's thorough with her cleaning and flossing, but considerate, and if you need a break it's easy to let her know. Given my past history and my long absence from dentist offices, I was terrified of what she'd find, but it amounted to a handful of small cavities (she did make special note of my "unusually soft teeth"-- truly life's small humiliations never cease). It should be noted that Dr. Blanas does all the fillings herself, and she does them with precision and aplomb. If you've every gotten a filling you know that after it's done, you bite down on contact paper and are told to try to grind the teeth around so the dentist or dental assistant can then smooth down any raised places. Typically it's contact paper, grind, contact paper, grind, and so on. Every time Dr. Blanas has filled a tooth, then gone to the contact paper, there's been no or virtually no adjustments needed: she nails it on the first shot, and the teeth she's filled for me feel indistinguishable from my unfilled teeth. Truly, she is a dental filling artist, more akin to a sculpture than the industrial drill-fill technique of any other dentist I've had. M also goes to see her, and we referred my father-in-law, who also has had some bad dentist experiences to her, and he thinks she's great. If you're stressed about your teeth, but know that you should really make an appointment, I can't recommend her highly enough.

I like that Dr. Dimoulis is a very modern dentist who is bringing technology into the office that I didn't even know existed. At my last visit I was able to see my teeth on an X-ray on a large computer screen and I could clearly see and understand everything Dr. D was explaining to me. Recently I took both my kids (3 and 4 1/2 years old) to see Mrs. Dr. D and she was amazing! I have a little one that is very picky about who cuts her hair and who touches her teeth. She was enchanted with Dr. D who is very sweet and soft spoken. Both of my little ones were very quiet and cooperative while they had their teeth examined and cleaned! Success!!!!! I can't leave Mari (the office manager ) out. Mari is the most amazing and thoughtful person and I'm so glad I found this office many years ago after many mishaps at other dentists in oak park and Berwyn. Luz is the dental assistant and I could never say enough kind things about Luz. She is also an amazing and very gentle assistant to the dentists'. Luz is so chatty that we know everything about each other. Truly a Family Dental practice. I miss Dr, Castellan but I'm glad he turned his practice over to a family of dentists that are passionate about their work and caring to their patients. It's worth the drive for me!

With medical and dental visits, I find that the visit is always either wonderful or horrible. Hard to have an average experience. It turns out, my husband was right, and Dr. Goel was on the wonderful side. I've been to Avid Dental twice now and each visit has been pleasant, painless, efficient, and comfortable. The staff at Avid always greets me with a smile as soon as I walk in and I've never had to wait more than 3 minutes to be seen. They've been very accommodating any time I've had to reschedule an appointment or change the time last minute. Even better, they take evening appointments on certain days so I don't have to disrupt my work day. The hygienists are skilled and are great about getting me set in the room and taking my x-rays. Dr. Goel is clearly a dentist who knows her stuff. She's very thorough and really takes her time during her examination. You never feel rushed by her and she is always happy to answer any questions you might have. She offers so many services and really went out of her way to help me fix my smile through some filings and whitening treatments to get me ready for my wedding last month. My husband has had a few different types of services from Avid over the years and each one has always gone perfectly smooth. More importantly, Dr. Goel's friendly demeanor helps put you instantly at ease. She remembers you personally and you feel like she truly cares about your well being. This office is perfect for patients of all ages and teeth types - whether you're going just for a standard cleaning or if you need some heavy duty root canals, I would strongly recommend Avid for any dental scenario. The only tough part is making the trek out from downtown to Mt. Prospect (though there is an awesome Thai restaurant near the practice that makes me not really mind the drive at all). My husband works in that area so it's easy for him. But Dr. Goel mentioned she has a downtown location that is just 2 blocks from my office so I will be trying out that one soon.
