I don't even know where to begin, this was truly a 10/10 experience…read more I came in for an emergency dental visit, and they took me in immediately, no hassle, no runaround. Even though the office was clearly busy, I never once felt rushed or like just another patient on a list. The entire team was incredibly attentive and genuinely focused on making sure I was comfortable and okay. I ended up needing a crown, and they handled everything right then and there, no temporary fix, no waiting weeks for a crown. The fact that they were able to complete the entire procedure on the spot was impressive on its own, but what stood out even more was the quality of the work and the care behind it. Jackie and Dr. Rob were exceptional. They walked me through everything, made sure I felt at ease, and checked in constantly throughout the process. For something that could have been stressful, they made it seamless. I'm beyond grateful for the level of professionalism, efficiency, and compassion I experienced. Couldn't recommend them more. Thank you again! Ps: even got an eye mask and hand mask to relax later!

I have very complicated TMJ jaw issues and I saw Dr. Hoffman because he came up online as someone…read morewho specializes in TMJ problems. After two visits, I would NOT recommend going here if you have complex jaw issues. My issue is that my discs are displaced and locked, not just that my muscles are sore bc of clenching and griding. Went I first saw Dr. Hoffman, he recommended botox in my masseters and temples. He also recommended a repositioning split. The bill that I was given at that appointment included both the botox and the fitting for the splint which was done at the follow up appointment two weeks later. This was well over $1k. At my follow up appointment, the fitting for the splint took only about 30 seconds which I found concerning. Then i got the price for the splint which was $4k. I did not feel comfortable paying this after a 30 second measurement, so I decided to get a second opinion before moving forward. He also told me that he has only treated this in 5% or less of his patients. Overall, I am very unhappy with my experience here. I felt pressured into spending over $1000 on something that was totally unnecessary. I wish he would have been upfront and honest about his ability to treat my issue and recommended that I go somewhere that is more specialized in TMJ problems.

I went to Brighter Dental of Old Town for a temporary crown after my previous crown cracked and…read morefell out. Before the appointment, Seida repeatedly assured me the office would submit a pre-estimate to insurance and only charge me my patient responsibility amount. After multiple calls with my insurance company, it was discovered Brighter Dental had been faxing the paperwork to the wrong number. The issue was finally corrected during a conference call with insurance and the office. Despite the pre-estimate being approved before my appointment, I was told by Seida and Luca that I had to pay the full amount upfront or they would not proceed. Seida claimed no memory of the aforementioned conference call, and I had no choice but to pay or remain untreated and in pain. At my follow-up appointment, insurance had already paid the claim electronically, but the office delayed reimbursing the overpayment and gave conflicting timelines for a refund. They also refused to refund the original credit card and insisted on mailing a check instead. After repeated vague promises and no reimbursement, I was forced to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Due to their refusal to honor the insurance allowed amounts, I overpaid by several hundred dollars. I later received a threatening letter accusing me of fraud because of the charge dispute, even though the office had still not refunded the overpayment at the time of the dispute. This was a disturbing experience.

I was happy to find this dental office near my home and I was hoping that it will become my…read morepermanent dentist. Unfortunately my last visit was very disappointing. First Dr. Karnaukh didn't measure my gums to monitor my gum recession and from my previous visit she should've made a note that my gums need to be measured on every visit because I have a significant damage to the structure of my teeth and gum recession as a result of a botched orthodontic treatment done a few years ago. She referred me to a physical therapy for my TMJ and difficulty swallowing but when I called the clinic they told me that based on my symptoms none of their doctors feel comfortable taking my case. Then the cleaning done by the hygienist was a complete joke because she didn't use the machine but she was scrubbing manually and that took forever to have my teeth cleaned. Lastly, they billed only the exam under Dr. Karnaukh's name and the cleaning was billed to my insurance under the name of Dr. Nouneh. I have never seen dr. Nouneh in my life so I don't know what kind of insurance frauds they do there and why they billed my cleaning under a doctor who has never seen me. I called my insurance company and they told me that I have to make them correct this and bill the cleaning under the name of the doctor who did the exam but the manager of Brighter Dental refused and she only offered to remove the balance I owed due to dr. Nouneh not being in network with my insurance. I don't recommend this dental office and unfortunately I have to be on the look for a new dentist again due to the unethical and fraudulent business practices done in this office.

RUN FROM THIS PLACE!!! I left in the middle of my cleaning because of poor service and ZERO…read morequality. As a first time patience, I asked - when I scheduled my appointment - if I need to send over my x-rays. They said no. I went to my appointment and they said that they needed to do x-rays. At that time, they requested the name of my old dental office to call them during my cleaning, however, they decided to "do them the next time". The Dental Assistant decided to go ahead and start "cleaning" my teeth. She pulled down the light (which was a flashlight attached to a metal pole) and got out her cleaning tools. The drill kept burning up so she had to take a break. After nailing my gum for the fifth time, I got up and left. Other notes: They put all these "nice" decorations in the front to make it seem high-end (don't be fooled). The back room looks like a make-shift barbershop. I've never seen a dirter office before. I do not recommend this dental office.

Recently, I called to make an appointment to have a veneer glued back on and for a routine cleaning. The first thing she did was ask me if I had been in before. When I said yes, for years, she immediately asked if had insurance; She simply could have looked at my records and asked me if anything has changed since my last appointment. She then proceeded to try to schedule a complete exam with x-rays before doing anything else. I told her the priority was obviously my missing veneer since there's a gaping hole in the front of my mouth. She said that it couldn't be done without an exam first as they had no idea what it would entail. I told her that it's a simple procedure and I've had it done many times before. She insisted that I had to pay for an exam first. Anyway, the way she hassled me was uncalled for and a bit confusing considering my straightforward request. To be clear, Sam is a great dentist, but life's too short to deal with nasty people.

I want to start by saying I rarely leave reviews, but this one feels extra important. Referrals are…read morethe best way to find a great doctor, and I truly want people to be able to find a dentist as good as I did. Dr. Dow has completely changed my view on dentistry. I used to dread going to the dentist, and I had a lot of anxiety around it, but he has completely eased that. Now I actually enjoy going because of him and his team. He goes above and beyond his role to make sure you're not only taken care of, but genuinely comfortable. You can tell he truly cares about you as a patient and as a person - not just as a number or a paycheck. As someone who has had severest of autoimmune disease issues and life altering anxiety a very long time, I've experienced both really great doctors and really disappointing ones. This is actually the first review I've ever left because I think it's important for people to understand the difference... and Dr. Dow is exactly what a doctor should be. I had been searching for a dentist for almost a year after moving to Chicago in 2023, and I'm so glad I didn't settle for anyone else. They are the absolute best. His team even calls after certain exams or procedures just to make sure I'm doing okay... which is honestly unheard of these days. If you're looking for a professional, highly skilled, and incredibly knowledgeable dentist, you've found the right place. And if you want someone who truly values you and your time and goes above and beyond for his patients, this is 100% your doctor. I'm genuinely excited to continue a lifelong partnership with Dr. Dow as my dentist--and you should absolutely do the same. Him and his team are unmatched!

Lol when I told her I was upset about her filing my teeth down - looks very chopped off and there is Space between my teeth now that shows daylight between my teeth - she told me " Im concerned about you" ie gaslighting - I wish I never set foot in this office such a disappointment.

I've been going to Shoreline Dental and Mollie Rojas for over 2 years now, and everything was fine…read moreup until today. I had a standard cleaning and x-ray check up, and afterwards, Mrs. Rojas checked my x-rays and mentioned that there appears to be potential cavities based on the x-rays. As a preventative measure, she recommended Silver Diamine Fluoride. I never heard of this, and I asked her if there were any side effects. She said it was safe and it's often applied to children (she also added that it was safe in that she applies it to her own son). I took Mrs. Rojas word and she made the first of two applications. I came home and noticed on the bottom of my lip a black mark. After googling Silver Fluoride side effects, one is that it can turn your teeth black and can also blacken the skin. I called up Mrs. Rojas, and asked her why she didn't mention this side effect, especially when I asked her about potential side effects. She said she didn't remember that I asked the question, and that the side effect of blackening teeth/skin is very rare. I was astonished that she said she didn't recall me asking, and even more astonished that she knew of the side effect. The Silver Fluoride requires two applications. I told her that I do not want to be charged and I'm not taking the second application. She said that the side effect is no reason for her not charging me, and that the benefits of preventive cavity treatment outweigh the potential side effects of blackened teeth/skin. This answer from Mrs. Rojas is alarming. Her judgment as a health care professional is off and her ethics are questionable . I can not trust Mrs. Rojas after this experience, and I'm hoping this side effect is not permanent.

But on my last three visits I have noticed a change. None of the original hygienists are there anymore. The two that I have had in the last few visits were not friendly, and on my most recent visit two weeks ago the hygienist was very abrupt and I told her to be gentler when she was doing the flossing but she just brushed it off. Every single time in the last 20 years that I have been in for my six month cleaning, Dr. Flak has come in to do an exam. This last time he didn't and he was there because I saw him in the next exam room. When I asked the hygienist if Dr. Flak was going to come in and do an exam she said "no, he'll do that next time in September". It looks like I'm going to have to find another dentist. I even called their office the next day to voice my concerns but they never returned my call.
