Erika, the RDH, is simply amazing and has a velvet touch. Dentist visits are never fun, except when you go to visit Dr. Pena's office and Erika is doing your cleaning. Juanita manages the office and is super professional and courteous; such a joy to deal with. You never have to worry about remembering your appointments because she is on top of it. The office is super busy with clients but she is very accommodating of your needs and requests. The most amazing thing about Dr. Pena is that he never sells unnecessary services. That builds a complete trust with his Patients. He always puts dental health first... The whole staff - including Dr. Pena - are amazing with kids and my 2 and 5 year olds love going to the office. This - in my eyes - is as Perfect a family dentistry can be.

My dentist retired and I am so grateful for my neighbor's recommendation to make an appointment…read morewith Dr. Pena. In the past I had a lot of anxiety going to the dentist. I feared the possibility of pain and dreaded the claustrophobic rooms. This did not happen in Dr. Pena's office. I walked into the beautifully decorated office and was greeted by a friendly receptionist. To my surprise as I was escorted to my chair, I noticed open air-styled areas for procedures. Everything was spotless with modern equipment and a monitor to discuss the procedure. I could actually compare his work with that of my former dentist and could see for myself his work was far superior. Dr.Pena assured me I would not experience pain and he was right. His patience exceeded expectations as well as the quality of his work. I highly recommend Dr. Pena to anyone seeking a dentist.

Dr. Farsakian is not only a great endodontist, but a great diagnostician as well. He found a problem with my tooth, which had been undetected. It was complicated, and he was so honest! Gave me all the options for my treatment. If you need an endodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Farsakian in Highland Park, Il. He came highly recommended to me, he is thorough and a caring Doctor! He called to check up on his procedure, that evening. Also regarding the billing, although they do not take insurance, I paid my bill and they submitted immediately for me. I have already been reimbursed by my insurance. "Once again, painless!"

If you value your time, I suggest finding a different dentist office. First the positives...Dr Aver…read moreis very nice and I like the holistic approach of her practice. When they ran 15 minutes late for my cleaning appt, I had no problem. However, when my child had an appt, they were over an hour behind. And not a single employee would have told me what's going on unless I was persistent and asked for follow ups. No one apologized. In fact the older woman at the front desk patient shamed us by saying we should have made a 1st thing in the morning or a Saturday appt. Um, say what? If I am an hour late to an appt, guess what? I have to pay a fine. But keep me waiting for an hour, it's my fault somehow. Not to mention my child had to miss the entire afternoon of school for no reason. Hey, I have an idea - why not try calling your patients that you know will be waiting over an hour and letting them know before they waste 2 hours of their time and miss school. Another suggestion - if you refuse to call and give patients a heads up on lengthy delays, how about when you notice patients sitting in your waiting room for over 15 minutes, take the initiative to find out the delay and let the patients know what's going on? And keep them updated. Emergencies happen. We get it. And understand. But it's how you handle the patients whose appointments are are affected by the emergency that matters. You give them notice, keep them updated, apologize and most of all don't patient shame as if it's their problem.

Do not go here! I was going here for a few years and things seemed fine. But the more I learned -…read morethe more I realized that Dr. Aver is not a good dentist. And uses inferior products. Her work is shoddy. And she tries to overcharge you - even after giving a price for things like a retainer or night guard type of product. Lastly - she has the worst time management I've ever seen. Numbs you for a filling and then goes to other patients. By the time she returns, the anesthetic has worn off. She ruined two of my teeth. And I spent a fortune there. Don't say I didn't warn you. There is more - but I don't think I can say it here. Please - GO ELSEWHERE- you're not getting what she promises.

Since the end of the pandemic, I have been going to Northbrook Dental Care for hygiene…read moreappointments. My daughter and husband have been going there for many years before I did. Dr. Jay Rodgers is the owner, and he has a team of nice and skillful hygienists and technicians. I have been happy with my hygienist Hallie, who's very kind, skillful, and accommodating. She has excellent memories of what I like and don't like, making each appointment pleasant and successful. I have been waiting for some dental work to be done by Dr. Rodgers before I write a review. Now is the time! I used to think that Dr. Rodgers was a person of no-nonsense. Every time he would quickly check my teeth, recommended what needs to be done, and then hurried into another patient's room. However, I found out from the recent experience that he is actually very kind and compassionate, and is also very respectful of my choices. The dental work was pretty "complicated", which involved removal of an old crown that was done by another dental practice years ago, but it was not done right back then, and he detected decay developed inside. He would then install two new crowns, one to the adjacent tooth that was prepared by another practice a long time ago. There was an old filling to be replaced as well. I called Dr. Rodgers' office with questions, one of his receptionists, Dianka, is always very nice and helpful, she had Dr. Rodgers call me back after his appointments. He called me back and spent 15 minutes patiently answering all my questions and explaining everything that needed to be done. I was impressed. The dental work involved 3 appointments, with the second appointment being the main one and was the longest, like 2 to 3 hours long, with breaks. Dr. Rodger's assistant, Erika, was very kind and professional too. Dr, Rodger was(is) very skillful, professional, and kind, and actually checked on me several times to make sure that I was doing fine and comfortable. His chair-side manners were just excellent. Although dental work is no fun to be sure, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I could even eat an hour later! The most important thing is, the crowns look so good and natural that even my husband and daughter could not tell which ones were crowns. They both guessed the canine. No, that was wrong. I am so happy with the results! I will not hesitate to see Dr. Rodgers and his team for future dental work. Next time, I will not be losing any sleep before the appointments, as I know that I am in good hands!

I have been going to Northbrook Dental Care for hygiene appointments for many years now…read more Fortunately, that's the only service that I needed there. The place is clean and comfortable. I always felt at ease at this practice. Dr. Rodgers is the only dentist there and he is the owner. He has a great team of hygienists, who are all very friendly and professional. My hygienist is always very prompt, thorough, and makes sure that I leave the clinic with a shiny smile. Whenever Dr. Rodgers checked on my teeth, he has been very professional and informative. I felt fortunate every time he (and my previous dentists) marveled at me still having all 32 teeth without any cavities. About a year ago, I accidentally bit very hard on a bone and one of my lower front teeth became loose, which I could wiggle it with my fingers. I thought the tooth would come off and I went to see Dr. Rodgers on an emergency basis. Surprisingly, he told me not to worry about it after checking on the tooth. He is right - a year later, my tooth still sits tightly in its socket and is now back to normal. I like the overall experience at Northbrook Dental Care, and highly recommend it.

This experience has been phenomenal for the 7 years I've been with Dr. Aaron…read more I came to him in 2018 after being neglected by my oral surgeon, who had placed two implants, and the dentist who had done the crowns. I had suspicion something was going on as one was wiggling. Dr. Aaron jumped on it and was able to identify malpractice and addressed the offending surgeon (Dr. Vaina of IVOMS in Peru, IL) to have it corrected. I went back to the offending surgeon (due to cost reasons and giving him a chance to fix it) and about 6 surgeries later, I was even worse off. Dr. Aaron investigated and created a course of action, which involved referring me to a new surgeon, Dr. Frank of Northshore Smile Surgery, who proceeded to perform a miracle to restore my gums to full health. Dr. Aaron created me a temporary fix to keep my teeth in place which held me in tact for five years. In October 2024, despite living in another state, I called Dr. Aaron and let him know the remaining implant was showing really bad signs and he confirmed my thoughts and told me to come in that week to have it addressed. I traveled 10 hours to see him and he was incredibly thorough and sensitive in handling the issue and it was deemed I had to go back to Dr. Frank to correct more malpractice from the offending surgeon at IVOMS (Dr. Vaina). Dr. Aaron set me up in a temporary bridge to help keep the aesthetics of my gums in tact and so as to not leave me toothless in the front as a young woman and bride to be. After the two month healing period, he squeezed me back in his schedule as I traveled 10 hours to see him again through Michigan winter madness. After 8 years of pain and trauma from other providers, Dr. Aaron took care of me at the highest level. He was the only one willing to identify and tackle this complex and heartbreaking nightmare, he handled each step over 8 years so tactfully and was truly invested in not only my business, but genuinely cared about my well being and wanted to see me find my dream smile. Dr. Aaron has truly gone above and beyond for me in every single aspect of my care for almost a decade, every dentist should be at his level. His sense of ethics, his personality, his attention to detail, his level of care... he's second to none. As a former dental professional myself, after working with him, it makes me never want to go anywhere else the rest of my life. The rest of the staff is fantastic too! Occasionally the other doctors would get involved in my case and were always very direct and clear while showing empathy for the situation. The front office staff and manager Kathy are wonderful and really helpful, always making sure to give any information needed and working around my wild schedule being out of state. The assistants are all fantastic and incredibly personable as well, I've always enjoyed each one I've had and have been pretty consistent faces over the years! You can't ask for a better dental office from start to finish. They even have a service dog on site, which has been amazing through something that's been traumatic to go through and recover from. I wouldn't be here tonight with my dream smile if it wasn't for Dr. Aaron saving me from malpractice from another office. After hating my smile my whole life, I can finally feel confident (and eat again)!
