When we needed…read morea second opinion, we came here and I was immediately blown away by the care and attention Dr. Polivka provided. My daughter has a pretty complicated case including missing some adult teeth and also having a couple transposed teeth that didn't want to come down. Add on dental anxiety and a girl entering high school not wanting braces for the second time, and well, you can understand how tough it might be to handle. Dr. Polivka called me and talked for a very long time, re: game plan, talked with our dentist, figured out a two step plan to minimize time in braces, and fill in gaps as we progressed. He's available via text and has been so responsive. I know our case isn't easy, and my daughter is not the happiest when she is there, but I've been so pleased with the practice. We are smack in the middle of our experience and I'm really looking forward to the end product!

My daughter had her braces treatment performed at the Nudera Elmwood Park office, and I was so…read moreimpressed with their service and accommodations that I decided to get braces on, too. Nudera offers a discount to two or more patients in the same household, so I got my braces a month before my daughter finished. This is my second time wearing braces. My initial service was in 2005-2007. Well, about 10 years ago, the permanent retainer on my upper teeth broke off on the right side, and slowly my teeth shifted to the point that I was unhappy with my smile. After two years of witnessing my daughter's transformation, I asked for a quote to repair my upper teeth. I received an affordable quote for payment over six months. I was thrilled that I wouldn't be in braces again for a very long time. And I'm super happy with the Nudera office. They have ample availability, are always timely, the office staff greets and anticipates your arrival and needs, it's always clean, and they use the newest technology. I was thrilled to have found such an efficient orthodontist and staff. My teeth are taking shape the way that I had hoped and I'm looking forward to being braces-free in February.

We met with Tracy for a tour of their beautiful clinic and then a patient education session regarding the types of treatments offered and the process of the consultation. My son then got a X-ray. Then we met with Dr. Jim Nudera for the examination -very comprehensive- and learned that my son doesn't require intervention after all! Dr. Nudera explained everything in great detail and showed both my son and I the reason for the dentist's concern and how the issue doesn't require orthodontics. What a relief! Oh, and the whole consultation- including the X-ray- was FREE!! Tracy said she'll send a note to my son's dentist and even gave us a copy of the X-ray. It was such a positive experience all around and the degree of communication and effort put into customer satisfaction are really remarkable.

I am in my mid 30's and having my teeth straightened was something that I always wanted to do, but never thought I would actually do it! After sharing the disappointment on the appearance of my teeth with my dentist, he without hesitation recommended Dr. Frazier. Within days, I was sitting in Dr. Frazier's office going over treatment options. After making a decision on my treatment plan I had braces on my teeth in less than a few weeks. Wearing braces on my teeth for 20 months was defiantly not one of my favorite experiences. However, Dr. Frazier and his staff (Special thanks to Cara and Debbie) seemed to go above and beyond to help me make the best of the situation. Every time I brush my teeth or look in the mirror I am reminded of how grateful I am to have made the decision to get braces! Thanks again Dr. Frazier, Debbie, and Cara!!!!

I'm 66 years old and take meds (water pill)for HBP, so that wasn't fun. I was embarrassed and kept apologizing for the inconvenience. I got up from the chair about 5 times within 2 hours. The Doctor and his assistant were understanding but the time it took was too many teeth for one visit. I felt miserable. The local anesthesia administration was painless. The chair was inverted and my feet were higher than my head which made for a very uncomfortable visit to say the least. The kindness of the staff is on point, but after this visit It took me several hours to recover. 5th Appointment (2024) - Which was going to be a 1 hour visit and because of my Spinal Stenosis which flared up after cutting the grass, I decided to reschedule. I was then told via test message that basically I have breached the cancellation policy and to find another dentist. The exact message is shown below: "We need 48 hour notice." "We have inactivated you from our office please look for another dentist. We only allow 3 cancelled appt." As a side note, I was told that the reason for the cancellation fee is because the Dentist in only in the office once a week. Wow!! It makes me wonder why so many visits were done before any real work was done. All and all, not a bad experience, just not a great fit for me. I guess I'll have to find an office that wont invert me in the chair and not charge me so much for cancellations.
