My family and I (3) have been going to Optima Family Dental for 12 years. I always recommend him as…read moreI truly believe he is the best dentist around. I have had an array of procedures from multiple cavities, pulled teeth, crowns, root canals and most recently, Invisalign. Prior to coming here, I had a few bad experiences at the dentist and have always been very apprehensive. He is very gentle and thorough with the numbing process and frequently checks in to make sure the pain is under control and that you cannot feel anything. He takes the time to explain what he is doing and the importance of your oral health. I am a third of the way done with Invisalign and everything is moving slowly but surely. I have felt very informed throughout the whole process thus far. His staff is also phenomenal - very friendly and knowledgeable. They do a great job at scheduling and limiting the wait times in the waiting room. I will say, early morning appointments are best because he is very busy. All in all he deserves 5 stars or more. He is meant to be a dentist & i'm so glad my family found him.

When my dentist, Dr Yosef (Pauline) in Lincolnwood, told me I needed a root canal, she referred me…read moreto her husband in Portage Park. Not sure what the negative reviews are about, but I had a great experience! It was easy to get an appointment and the staff were nice and friendly. The male Dr Yosef (John) was great! Very personable and I couldn't believe that my root canal didn't hurt! The first one I had was at a different practice and it was terrible!! So painful and made me postpone this one for years! He was kind and gentle and even the shots of novacaine to numb my mouth were painless. The procedure took a little over an hour and I couldn't be happier. The cost was more than I was expecting but that's due to my insurance, not them. I have to go back in two weeks and I actually don't mind.

BEWARE OF THESE FAKE REVIEWS. THIS PLACE HAS THE WORST HYGINIEST EVER…read more New patient but definitely won't be coming back! Came in as a new patient for Dr. EMILY CHEN, but somehow Dr. SANA BAIG saw me instead. It was not a huge deal to me at all since she gave me some solid advice. Now my main complaint about this place. As new patient, they did Xray first, then Doctor check, then cleaning. The Xray technician was horrible. It took him a total of 25 mins to just to get everything correct. Never had someone took that long to get all the xray necessary. HYGINIEST. I've been going to dentist religiously for quite some time now and I have never, ever had a horrible hyginiest experience ever until I got here. Even working as solo, a lot of hygienist are able to properly do their job and not make a mess on patient's face. 1. Why does hyginiest gotta ask me if im okay every 20s? It was already established that i would raise my left hand if I wanted to stop whatever she was doing. 2. Too much water I might as well bring a soap and shampoo and take a shower. She wasn't attentive of overflowing water in mouth and would say "I was focused on cleaning your teeth".. 3. Why she gotta physically close my mouth after saying close your mouth? People know how suction works.. ‍‍‍ Like hello?? Never had a hyginiest physically close my mouth just to do suction! 4. She didnt Floss under my bridge and she was "teaching" me how to floss. She also left a broken piece of floss in between my teeth and she didnt noticed it until I said redo the part since i feel something stuck in my teeth. 5. Always looking whos walking by like hello focus your eyes on me. That's why you didnt notice if water is leaking out of my mouth. She looks like she's not confident with her work or asking validation if shes doing a good job‍‍ 6. Xray tech took forever to do xray smh. Do better. Are you even supposed to use your hand to prop the device? This guy really placing his hand in radiation zone.

He is very knowledgable and you can tell he loves what he does. I love that he will always explain what he's doing and next steps. Dr. Calderon is great as well! She's always very gentle and takes her time with you. The entire team is always very warm and welcoming. The attention to details really makes a difference. For example, they will always try to make your experience a positive one and will hand you a warm nap to clean yourself after a cleaning or procedure. Highly recommend them and am so glad I found them!

Hello! My name is Emma, I am in my 20s, and after a terrible accident in Puerto Rico being struck…read moreby a truck while on my bicycle, three of my teeth were knocked out along with many other injuries that left me hospitalized for weeks. At that age, losing your smile like that feels devastating-it's not just about looks, it shakes your confidence and makes you feel lost and unlike your true self. I honestly thought I'd never get my personality back again. A good friend of mine recommended Dr. Wittmus. Needless to say, I was terrified about what came next. From the very first appointment, the whole team at Grateful Dental treated me with so much care, patience, and kindness. The team was immediately so understanding of how traumatic my situation was, not just physically but emotionally. They walked me through every step of getting temporary partials and made sure I felt heard and cared for the entire time. I never once felt like "just another patient"- which meant everything to me when I was so shaken up. The temporary partials they gave me look so natural that people don't even realize what happened. I can smile again, I can talk without covering my mouth, and I can finally feel like myself while I wait for permanent implants. That may sound small, but when you're young and going through something like this, it means the world. My temporary partials look and feel absolutely incredible-way better than I expected-putting a smile back on my face. Dr. Wittmus and his team gave me the confidence back that I desperately needed while I heal. The whole staff is professional, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond for their patients. This team has given me back my confidence which I am forever grateful for. If you're looking for a dentist who has both incredible skill and a genuine heart, this is the place you want to be. Thank you Dr. Wittmus and his fabulous team!

The receptionist was super friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in the door. The dental assistant, Alex, and Dr. Tavolzhanskaya were both very gentle and caring. The Doctor was extremely thorough, doing an exam for oral cancer before we got started and also checked my blood pressure. I very much appreciated her attention to detail when reviewing my medical history and making recommendations. The X-rays of my teeth were up on a giant screen that I could see, which was pretty cool. They even gave me a goody bag at the end.

I have been meaning to do this review but have been so so busy. I finally have the time so here…read moregoes... I previously gave this dental office five stars. I would give more upon my second visit if I could. Dr. Nidal Obeid. AMAZING. This man is so knowledgeable and explained the different options to me AND my daughter so that we clearly understood everything. Ok, so I get a call from my daughter's school that her tooth chipped at school. It was a filling from when her tooth was previously broken. This was around noon, ok? Ok. So I immediately call and they tell me we need an evaluation on what needs to be done. Ya know.. like cap, crown, whatever because I am not a dentist and they can't guess on the phone. They got her in that day at 5:30 for the evaluation. I pick my daughter up and we skip gymnastics to go there. She is hysterical. Her tooth is chipped and sharp.. she's hungry but terrified to eat and some genius adult told her she may need her tooth removed and a fake one put in.. so anyways- we start the drive. About 45 minutes. We get there early but went in anyways to check in. We were almost an hour early and they saw us for the evaluation IMMEDIATELY. Like we sat less than 5 minutes. My daughter is terrified. She's 9 with a VERY broken front top tooth -like broken in half- that she thinks has to be removed. The dental assistant was nice, she did the xrays and doctor was right in. He calmed my daughter immediately. He knew exactly what needed to be done, and told us what our next steps were... Like the whole plan.. like what to do immediately, when she should get braces, and the steps with her tooth even beyond that. Not only did he evaluate what had to be done, he did it right then. Her tooth was fixed and BEAUTIFUL before we were even scheduled to be there. He is an amazing dentist. Truly cares about his patients. My daughter was so happy I was almost in tears. It looked better than it had looked before she broke it. She was smiling and making snapchat and tiktok videos the whole way home to show it off. So overall: got us in same day, saw us early, did more than expected, and did an AMAZING job.

While I have greatly appreciated and enjoyed my visits with Dr. Obeid and another young doctor who…read moreis no longer working there - I have also had bad experiences with other doctors at the facility who aren't listed on the website. Perhaps they are fill in or relief DDSs but I don't know for sure. The cleanings are always gentle but it is really off putting and nerve wracking that I have been going to this dentist for the past several years, and yet it is rare that I see the same doctor twice. Shouldn't there be an effort with the scheduling system to set you up with the doctor who is most familiar with the patient? I even used Zocdoc and requested by name to see Dr. Obeid and was set with someone I had never seen before and wasn't notified about it either. I just wish there was some consideration for consistency with care in regards to the doctor. Also, on more than one occasion when I scheduled online and even over the phone for a cleaning - they scheduled me / allowed me to schedule on a day when there were only orthodontists in and thus couldn't do any cleanings for me. So... yeah. That should also be fixed.
