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.

This review is based on many years of experience. They did a good job giving me different options for treatment -- both what my general dentist recommended and alternatives. For example, while my general dentist thought a tooth could not be saved, the apicoectomy performed by Dr. Wong was able to avoid extraction. Both did a good job explaining my situation in a direct manner. Dr. Wong has a big personality but he backs it up with professional work. They provide insurance and out of pocket estimates so you know what you'll pay for different options.

This review is based on my two experiences. My first experience with Dr Jukas was great…read more Unfortunately my 2nd experience w Dr Wong was not. Due timing and pain I took the first avail appointment with Dr Wong. I waited one hr for my appointment to start. I could hear Dr Wong w his other patient talking. Sounded like he Spend more time talking about his Telsa, cars, etc versus patient treatment. Which is fine if that patient was ok with. But I am sitting in the next room still waiting for my consult which is already one hour late. Dr. Wong didn't acknowledge or apologize for the long wait. Without looking at my mouth, a 2 sec look at the X-ray rambled a lot of confusing information. He spent more time on making notice of how my hair was done, looking at my shoes, ear rings etc, which became uncomfortable. Dr. Wong was very arrogant, and what he claims is his ice breaker was to ask about my nationality.... He questioned my last name and asked if I was sure my last name was from the ethinicity. Than he questioned if i was married. My nationality is and was irrelevant to the purpose of my visit. He clearly has not had any DEI training. Dr Wong didnt believe his ice breaker is/was culturally insensitive and told me that I was sensitive and he would make note of it. Dr Wong than went to use a common foods in my culture as an analogy to describe my issue. Dr Wong was all over the place explaining the treatment place, bc in the middle of his explaination he kept making comments about my look... which he justified as being "observant". He should be more observant in the care he provides not a persons looks including the items they are wearing. His front desk couldn't explain the itemize bill or what they call care plan Dr Wong was ready to take my tooth out that minute bc they said he was quick and had an opening. They could clearly see I was confused by what was going on. I declined to take action bc I needed to consult my dentist bc I was surprised by Dr Wong saying I had a bacteria eating away at my bone. After thinking over and waiting for the email plan, I called back for an appointment w Dr Jurkas as a 2nd opinion since I had a good and educational experience for my first root canal. I clearly remember Dr J saying why try to save the tooth first. To my surprise Dr Wong called me bc they shared w him that I was not happy w my experience w him and wanted a 2nd opinion. I brought to Dr Wong's attention the above concerns I did not like. Dr Wong was condescending by responding some ppl are slow to understand. I stopped him there and again brought to his attention his rude and unprofessional response. During our call when I brought to his attention the insensitivity of my culture he thought it was ok bc he had a lot of friend in the "x" culture. I than brought to his attention that is not my culture... He clearly was looking at my file picture and again made and assumption. He didn't catch it on his own that he was associating me w another culture when i was telling him what my culture was. Dr Wong was very arrogant and rude to say Dr Jurkas was not going to be able to do the work I needed and that he works under him. Dr Wong response was a narcissist response. I decided to end the call by saying I need To take my services somewhere else. I asked for the email w the recap if his consult I still hadn't received it. 10 min later Dr Wong called me back I sent him to voicemail bc I was working. To my surprise I get a unprofessional text message saying... "I know you are screening calls."To close the loop I acknowledge the email being received: I thought we were done...No he calls me again... now this was starting to be harassment. I picked up the call and just listen to Dr Wong ramble... "I can give you recommendations for a new consultative exam. " Than he started to explain to me what should've happen day one. The worse, worse experience by one Dr Wong. Which is unfortunate bc my experience w Dr J was pleasant. Dr Wong clearly wanted my money versus helping understand what is in my best oral interest

First of all, I did not like the Dr Peneses arrogance. He suggested it was the fault of my dentist…read morethat performed my root canal that I now had an infection in my gum. Even if it was, which it is not, it was very unprofessional. Root canals don't always last forever. Sometimes an infection can develop many years later, in which case you will need an apicoectomy. Next, I do not agree with how this office handles their billing. I had my surgery in March 2026. The office said before they would even schedule my surgery, they need the insurance estimate. This seemed a little off to me since I was already told by Dr Peneses that my insurance would be maxed out after the root canal, and also are you telling me you won't perform this very important surgery if the insurance doesn't pay? They had submitted an estimate to the insurance company prior to the surgery and were waiting for it to be returned before they would schedule my surgery. I did get a call back from the office stating that they had received the estimate back from the insurance company and now I could go ahead and schedule my appointment. They informed me that the insurance was going to pay X amount and that I also had a credit with them from my previous root canal surgery with them. I was informed of what the final amount that I would owe would be. I was thrilled because I knew I had enough money in my FSA to cover the remainder. Fast forward to June 2026 & I see that the money for the apioectomy had not been deducted from my FSA. I called the office to ask why & was told that they had not submitted the bill yet and the girl that does the billing was already gone for the day, so they would have her call me back tomorrow. The billing person called me back approximately 2 weeks later to let me know when they would submit the bill. JUNE 2026 & THE BILL WAS NOT SUBMITTED TO INSURANCE YET?! The surgery was done 3/30/26! Now, today, 8/4/26, I was informed that the insurance didn't pay anything because my benefit was maxed out with the previous root canal, and my final amount owed is $2,120.33. That is VERY different from what was quoted to me in March. I understand the insurance maxed out on the root canal & the office has no control over that. My complaints are: 1. Why would you tell someone a quote very different from what you actually charge them? 2. Why would you wait so long to submit a bill to the insurance company? And 3. Why would you not advise a patient from the beginning that the final amount owed is just an estimate and you may actually owe more? Idk but this seems shady to me.
