Excellent service as always, from check in to check out. I’ll happily continue to drive from Gurnee to visit my Fav dental peeps.
The front office team is always so sweet, welcoming, and patient, I really wanted to highlight the amazing care I received during my visit. After having a few disappointing cleaning experiences elsewhere, I was happy with Mrs.Janina, the hygienist. She took her time to clean my teeth thoroughly, paying close attention to areas where there had been significant buildup from previous cleanings that hadn't been been done properly. Dr. Rao was absolutely exceptional, and her experience truly shows. As someone who is usually a little anxious about dental visits, I felt at ease from the moment I sat in the chair. My wisdom tooth required quite a bit of work, but she handled everything with confidence and skill while making sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. She took the time to explain what she was doing, checked in regularly, and never made me feel rushed. Her warm, friendly approach combined with her expertise made a lasting impression. Ms.Karla was wonderful as well, always in sync with Dr. Rao, attentive, reassuring, and focused on making sure I was comfortable throughout the appointment. Together, they made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm and easy. A huge thank you to the entire team for providing such outstanding care.
My 6-year-old son was treated here, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the moment we walked in, Juanita and Kalee at the front desk were warm, friendly, and welcoming, making us feel comfortable right away. Dr. Rao and Ms.Karla were absolutely wonderful with my son. Dr. Rao took the time to explain everything in a way a 6-year-old could understand, which helped him feel relaxed and confident. He wasn't scared for even a minute! Her gentle and caring approach made all the difference. From the X-rays to the fillings, every step was handled with patience, care, and sensitivity. The entire team made what could have been an intimidating dental visit into a positive and stressfree experience. Thank you to everyone in the office for your kindness and exceptional care. We truly appreciate the effort you put into making children feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommend this office to any parent looking for a great pediatric dental experience.
This office is very appealing to the eye when you walk in. Very clean upon walking in. The ladies up in front are all very kind, nice, polite, and a pleasure to talk with. They all smile and welcome you. The dentists assistant was a very nice young man. He was very pleasant to talk to and knew what he was talking about. The dentist was very professional with a side of kind, nice and pleasant bundled together and very accommodating to what was going on with me that day of my appointment. I really enjoyed my visit and thank them all for being as kind as I think I’ve ever been treated.
