However I'm afraid that I'm going to be, again, in the market for a new one. I was waiting in the waiting area for my cleaning when I overheard the "girls" at the front desk talking about an incident that occurred two nights prior where a young female police officer and her partner were shot. (The young female officer lost her life and the young male officer is in critical condition.) one of the females who I will identify as "the hygienist" says, I can't wait to see what really happened, I bet they were really aggressive and that's why they got shot. You know male police officers are so aggressive" not females, but males. I bet they deserved it because it doesn't just happen." Now I don't know about you but if I'm a police officer and my coworker was just shot to death. I don't want to hear your ignorant opinion about a job you know nothing about. There's enough negativity and ignorance about policing, I certainly don't need to hear it at my dentist's office. The problem nowadays is that people don't know enough about being professional in a work environment and they certainly don't know when to keep their mouths shut. I would love for this woman to lose her job over the fact that she just lost a client but that probably won't happen. It really is a shame because I really do like Dr Alkass but I'm not going to give my business to a place I consider a hostile environment. UPDATE: Dr Alkass called shortly after this happened and was absolutely horrified about the situation. It turns out that the woman who was going to be cleaning my teeth was a temp who was taking the place of the excellent regular hygienist that they have named Milena. He assured me that the woman I encountered would not be back working at his business. We talked about the fact that in a professional environment there's just no place for that. Thank You Dr Alkass. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to give me a call as the last thing I wanted to do was leave your practice because you're so good at what you do.

I'd been visiting the same dentist for about five years. The pandemic was largely responsible for…read morethe reason we parted ways, then a change in dental insurance and a move made that permanent. Since then, I've been desperately searching for a dentist who was as friendly and nice and easygoing as my previous dentist but failing completely. I didn't like my last two dentists so much that I gave up for almost a year. The reviews for neighborhood dentists were so frightening that I decided to buy a pricy electric toothbrush and take my chances. However, my new dental insurer (as of January 2026) put a dentist I'd never seen nor heard of as my default dentist. She's a little further away than I would have considered because of the distance. But I looked at her reviews and thought, "There are FAR too many five-star reviews for me to not at least give her a chance." And all those five-star reviews are absolutely correct. Although this dental office is in a building I would've never found on my own because they're not allowed to have signage outside, the inside is bright, warm and professional. Although it's a little chilly in there, I accidentally came dressed for the weather. (Bring a hoodie.) The dental assistant (Cynthia), the front-desk representative (Nedzma) and the dentist (Dr. Tamara Marjan) are all equally five stars. They are attentive, responsive, professional, friendly and very easy to work with. My comprehensive exam and cleaning were seamless. I didn't have to deal with ANY of the problems that I encountered with two other dentists. This dental office is careful about masks, sanitation, keeping sunglasses in stock so I'm not tearing up while looking at the lights and no one is trying to force me to spend a zillion dollars on cosmetic dental suggestions I never asked for nor need. Everything about this visit was absolutely perfect, and I even left with a movie recommendation (based on my profession). Again, the only cons were figuring out how to find the dental office (Google Maps can't even find it) and needing a hoodie. Other than that, top notch. I have officially found a new dentist. Whoo hoo!

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.
