My mother has been waiting for well over a year to have a set of partials made that can be used by this office and has yet to have a full set of working teeth. We kept giving him the benefit of the doubt due to covid and scheduling difficulties but even now after doing yet another impression they did not put in her post correctly and it fell out. They are now claiming 24 hours later that they don't even have the correct tools to put it back in, and she will have to go back to the oral surgeon. I am discussed with how frustrating this has been for her.

My son's dentist referred us to Lakeside for wisdom teeth extraction and I have been thoroughly…read moredisappointed by the customer service experience, so much so that I canceled my son's upcoming appointment and asked his dentist for a different referral. I provided information far in advance in order to get pre-auth and pre-determination in place but the office failed to act on them in a timely manner. Calls were not returned as promised. When asked why it had taken almost 6 weeks for them to even begin communicating with my dental insurance company, I was told, "I guess I don't have an answer for that." Speaking with the office manager was a fruitless effort. She was dismissive and abrasive. This oral surgeon may be top notch, but it won't matter if his office staff continue to drive off potential patients due to a poor customer service experience.

Dr. Howard (and staff) have been my go-to teeth people since I was a wee little Colleen C…read more From the ages of 2-22 (20 years!), Dr. Howard's office was the only dental institution I visited. After moving to Chicago (and subsequently NYC and London) I had to visit other practices...well, due to practicality. Nothing ever quite measured up, and I quickly found that I was quite spoiled all those years receiving the highest dental care within an extremely friendly and professional office. Also, every single dentist I visited in Chicago/NYC had the same exact comment upon inspecting my chompers: "Wow, this is impressive dental work" or "Looks like you've gone to a very good dentist" or "Your teeth are so white!" Ok that last one is purely accidental as I drink a lot of coffee and colored cocktails, but the first two comments are directly attributed to Dr. Howard's office. No joke. I had the opportunity to pop back in to see my old pals on Carter Road on my most recent trip to TC a few weeks ago -- in need of a cleaning and not in need of the headache associated with finding a new dentist in London, my mom (awww) called and scheduled me an appointment. I was actually quite thrilled to visit my old chomping grounds (wow, the puns are getting out of control in this review, but I cannot help myself!). A few things: 1. Retention. Not only does this office retain clients, but it retains staff. I kid you not, I've not been to this office in 8+ years yet I recognized nearly all of the staff. I think this speaks volumes. Dr. Howard himself has been a dentist in the area for 30+ years. Nancy cleaned my teeth (she's great) and cleans my brother's teeth, his kids' teeth, my mom, my dad...you get the picture. This is a real family atmosphere, and it shows. 2. Friendly. Heidi is at the front desk, and is literally the nicest person in the world. Despite having left my Delta Dental cards somewhere (in what country? I don't even know) -- she quickly arranged to have x-rays sent from past dentist in Chicago, and had insurance info within minutes with zero hassle to me. She's sweet, polite, and genuinely nice. I overheard her on the phone with clients reminding them of appointments, etc and she is like this every single day. She should get a medal! 3. Dr. Howard is meticulous. A little known fact about me is, I DO have great dental work. In fact, not one of my baby teeth fell out on its own, while the adult teeth barged through. You can imagine this would not be a pretty thing if you didn't have a great dentist, but luckily I did. Dr. Howard is a perfectionist to the highest order, but is also realistic to what people can afford, etc. Obviously I was on my parents insurance for many years while visiting this office, but I believe his approach to be very rooted in reality, while achieving the best possible health. 4. It is the only doctor that my dad will ever visit, besides Dr. Walgreens. This is a true testament, as my dad hates doctors and faithfully visits this office every 6 months like clockwork. Three cheers, 5 stars, 24 teeth and a big thumbs up for this office. My most recent visit solidified this -- and I've yet to find any practice close to it in any city I've lived. They treat you like family and your teeth like royalty!
