First let me say I have not had consistent dental coverage for about 7 years or more. Fortunately,…read moremy teeth are still in good shape but in desperate need of a good cleaning. Going to Hawthorn Dental has been one of the best experiences I have ever had with a dental office. I went in for the first time about a month ago for an exam, X-rays and a cleaning. The front office person came from behind the counter, and sat down next to me to review how to fill out the paperwork. Nice touch. The wait was almost nonexistent. The dental assistant, Mimi was friendly and made sure I was comfortable. She even offered me a paraffin wax for my hands while I waited. I kindly accepted . What dentist office does that?? I'll tell you, none! Anyway, Judee my dentist finally came in to do the exam. She explained what she would be doing before she ever put a tool in my mouth. I felt like I understood what was happening during the entire exam. Plus I was relaxed with the little paraffin gloves on. When Judee was done she and Dr. Cheryl Mora reviewed my charts and X-rays and together they came up with a plan for me. Within the last month I have gone in for a 2 part deep cleaning and to have a cavity filled. Each visit has been very pleasant and believe it or not...no pain. Oh yeah...they also sent me a birthday card/video that was really cute. The entire staff took part in it ending with Dr. Mora's face falling in a cake lol cute. Bottom line, if you're looking for a great dental team that won't recommend unnecessary work and will treat you like family, this team is awesome! Really, get rid of your current dentist and come see them. You will not regret it.

Dr.Michael Mora and his assistant Mimi were absolutely amazing, I felt no pain at all. They are great with communication and constantly checking to make sure you're doing well & even cracking a few jokes to make you laugh and feel at ease. I am beyond pleased with this dentistry and will be returning and recommending them. Highly recommend!

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)!

Since then we have established care with a fabulous husband/wife DDS team in Lake Forest. The clinical care is personalized and in the hands of the doctors. The hygienist is also very knowledgeable and thorough with no up-selling procedures and bragging comments about the latest acquisitions in state of the art equipment. If you prefer personal and professional dental care with a doctor at the helm and less up sell I would not recommend this practice.
