We had heard such good things about Brushin' on Belmont from other parents, so when our insurance changed, and we were looking for a new dentist, we gave it a try. For a few years, things were great. Kids liked their dentist, scheduling was easy, appointments ran on time, and the location was convenient. Until our insurance changed again. I informed the office of the change, but after that next bill, we realized how little our new policy would actually cover. We really liked the practice though, so we decided to stay. When it was my 19 year old's turn for a visit, he declined the X-rays due to cost. He was met with resistance though and told yearly X-rays are standard and covered by insurance. When he replied that we had to pay for his brother's and didn't want them, the office apparently called the insurance company and came back to him saying it was 100% covered, so he eventually agreed. Long story short, my son felt pressured to have the X-rays done, and now we are stuck paying the bill. When I called later, I was told if he didn't want the X-rays, he should have signed a refusal form, but he was never offered one "because he agreed" -- yes, after he said no and then was led to believe they would be fully covered. Two things: The ADA does not specify X-rays are needed every 12 months, so why make declining them difficult by requiring a refusal form? And secondly, when I called the insurance company, they told me the office would definitely have known they were out-of-network and "100% coverage" would only apply to the small allowable amount designated by the insurance company. Furthermore, we were charged more for these X-rays than his brother's who apparently did not have the full set completed (which we never knew until I inquired about the difference in charges). At the end of the day, I realize this is a business, and whether it's the patient or insurance company who pays makes little difference to them. If you are the parent though of a young adult who has started to go to doctor visits solo, I would just proceed carefully here. Removing 3 stars for insisting my son have X-rays done after he declined them and for lack of transparency on charges -- and we're not talking a few bucks. Fortunately, at our new dentist's office, they print up estimated costs to review with clients before proceeding with x-rays and procedures, so no surprises ever. It can be done! read more

Still love Brushin' on Belmont. All of them! Dr. Monika is sincerely the best. I challenge one to find a sweeter (and more comprehensive and competent) dentist. I sing her praises whenever anyone is looking for a dentist. It's borderline obsessive on my part. The other day I was sitting in the salon and overheard a girl struggling with finding a good dentist and looked up B on B on my Yelp app and emailed a stranger with the info. I know, I sound nuts...but I remember struggling to find a dentist in a new city (or even in one you do know well!) and all the stress it has saved me to be a patient at Brushin' on Belmont. Ok, so aside from that...I popped in for a cleaning this past week and decided to combat my extreme coffee/soda addiction with a Zoom! whitening treatment. It's on sale now for $395. It takes about 2 hours. You get after care equipment (mouth trays, touch up whitening solution, etc), and your teeth look super duper white. Not like Ross in Friends, but a nice shade a few brighter than what you walked in with. Plus! Tvs in every room. Got to catch up on some Maury and feel great about my life. Still a huge fan. If you need a dentist, give them a call! I send all my favorite people here, and couldn't recommend them more highly. ::::ULTRA WHITE SMILE:::: read more

Ultimately horrible. For the first year of seeing Dr. Monika she was absolutely great. I was recommended by a friend and she was so gentle and kind. Cleanings went smoothly and a few fillings too. I needed to get an implant replaced on one of my front teeth, and when she started that, she took a picture of my teeth with an iPhone camera that were out of focus. I wondered if that would show the lab enough to make a new implant so I asked if they had a real camera and offered to bring in mine, but she said it would be fine. The new implant was even and sturdy, and it looked ok at first in the chair (I was glad to be done), but I soon noticed it did not match at all. In pictures I looked deformed. I gently brought it up at the next appointment, but she was non-committal even though we talked about some options, and said she didn't know if anything could be done, but left before we came to a resolution, so I figured we would resolve a plan next time. When I checked out, I told the receptionist I would be paying for this visit, but holding off on the rest of the implant charges. Somehow later I found out she translated this as "he refused to pay". The next visit Monika said I would need to go to the lab to match it, but she didn't want to even try to fix it. I found out later that any competent dentist would send the patient to the lab to match teeth. I tried several times to ask her to fix my teeth, but she hemmed and hawed, not wanting to. I realized she must have never done this before. Every appointment she made me feel very uncomfortable and was very unsure of herself, with no confidence. I couldn't continue seeing her and still needed my tooth fixed. It took months and I had to talk to a lawyer, but I finally got my money back. She had also earlier ground away some enamel on my molar when doing a filling without asking me, so my bite was permanently off. When I asked her later to ask me before grinding any more enamel, she became very defensive, incredulous, and indignant. I guess you can't ever question her judgement. One more thing, don't ever be late for an appointment there. They will charge you, refuse to see you, and treat you like a lowlife. No grace or second chances. Everything and everyone is nice at first, but they have no ability to resolve even the smallest conflict. read more

A little history about me: Before I moved to the north side of Chicago, I went over 15 years without a dentist visit. I went through a period where I just could not stand doctors, dentists, or any kind of medical type person or office and I stayed away for quite a while. I have now been under there care for a while now and I am finally getting my teeth into the shape that they need to be. It is still a work in progress, but I am well on my way to a healthy smile once again. Everyone here is AWESOME. They did everything in their power to relieve my fear and I don;t even think that is what they were trying to do. I think they were just being themselves and being welcoming and that is all it took to help me get over my fear! read more

We like to call them the brushin' Russians. Ok so they are totally not Russian, they are Polish, but I love the rhythmic quality. She got me in right on time and I was thrilled to see the office was extremely clean and sanitary. The dental hygienist was very friendly and was able to clean my teeth despite the fact that I was an incubus of viral infection during my visit. The cleaning was thorough and my teeth and mouth felt fresh and clean. Dr. Govoni is also extremely nice. She came in and did the typical look over most dentists do, just to make sure all is good. She saw I had a chipped tooth and offered to fix it. I'm like, "you can do that?!" and she's like, "of course". No idea although not sure why since it's perfectly logical a dentist could fix a chipped tooth. No other dentist before had offered. I still haven't gotten it filled but I am planning on doing so toward the end of the year. I would definitely recommend Brushin' on Belmont. Everyone there is pleasant and knows what they're doing and it makes going to the dentist that much more fun. read more

Our very nervous 4 year old daughter just finished her second appointment at Brushin on Belmont. Prior to this, her appointments had been at another dentist, and they always ended with me holding her down and her crying hysterically. Our experience here has been completely different. At the first appointment, they sensed she was anxious and did just a quick check of the teeth and some flossing, with me holding her in the chair. The hygienist was amazing with her, very patient and still sweetly gave her a bag of goodies. And then this last time, she was comfortable enough to get through a full cleaning and fluoride treatment. Next time, we are going to shoot for x-rays too. I really never imagined we'd find someone so willing to move at her pace and what she can tolerate. Now our daughter says the dentist is no big deal, which makes me very happy. Making appointments is easy; the text reminders are helpful. The office manager has taken care of all insurance matters, even when I messed up and forgot to bring my new card. The waiting room is totally set-up for kids with Paw Patrol playing on the TV and fish in a tank to watch. read more

My daughter and I have been going to B on B for several years. Adult and Pediatric dentistry is really good. Our care is mainly routine and preventive. Jennifer, the office manager is super nice and accommodating. The office is clean and modern. Also, there isn't a heavy sell on whiteners or other dental retail goods. This husband and wife team is outstanding. read more

I am not a big fan of dentists. I am, however, a huge fan of Dr. Govoni. Scarred by memories of dental visits past (where yelling at me seemed the appropriate choice by many a dentist), I hesitantly made an appointment for a check-up and cleaning. Dr. Govoni made me feel completely at ease. She was kind, skilled and competitively priced! If you are an anti-dentite like myself, go see Dr. Govoni. She'll make you reconsider your stance. BTW - Dr. Govoni is no longer at Dr. Blank's office. She is partnered with her husband at "Brushin' on Belmont", on the corner of Damen and Belmont. read more

This place makes me want to smile. For several reasons: A. The staff and Dr. Monika are cheerful, personable and pleasant to be around B. No cleaning in a year just made me want to smile more (and why not after all the retainers, braces, and countless dollars my parents spent on a set of straight teeth) Originally my appointment was roughly two months out when I made the initial call. I was put on a cancellation list to see if I could expedite my dental needs. SO for the receptionist... C. Jennifer for being very persistent on calling me for earlier appointments (approximately 3 times) which got me in the office 2 weeks early. They take appointment up until 6:15 so no special time needs to be taken off work which plays well with the 9-5'er. It's a quick walk from the Paulina Brown line stop if you are not able to drive. And the 50 bus runs up and down Damen. Establishing primary care, dentists, etc in the City is a daunting task for a new comer. But this recommendation exceeded my expectations (thanks Colleen C.). read more

I have been here twice. Everyone, the receptionist, the technician, the dentists, are incredibly nice. A dentist that I saw before coming here told me that I had 5 cavities. I have only ever had one cavity in my entire life, so I wanted a 2nd opinion. I was told at Brushin' on Belmont that I had ZERO cavities. Honesty, cleanliness, professionalism, and customer service. What more do you need from a dentist? read more

I have researched and researched pediatric dentists...and I'm so glad I found Brushin' on Belmont. They were fantastic with my 16 month old, who I feared may have a cavity or soft teeth. They examined his mouth (which is more than I can do) and gave him a fluoride treatment safe for the young kids. I left reassured and very happy with my appointment. I was very impressed with Dr. Bob and his hygienist who took the time to inform me about the foods my son should and shouldn't be eating, brushing habits and future visit plans. I will most definitely be back for another visit. sidenote: Some of the reviews online began to scare me but I was more than reassured when talking to the receptionist (who informed me of the exact cost of my visit BEFORE my visit) and the hygienist. Don't be scared off by some extreme helicopter parents that can't handle the dentist. They know what they are doing here! read more

Have only had positive experiences here as a business and for a dentist office at that. Seems to be one of the best in city... read more

Brushin' on Belmont - Interior - Orthodontists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Service was fine, and my cleaning went well. I felt miss-informed when it came to dealing with insurance. I asked if my insurance was accepted, the answer was simply : yes. When the bill arrived I found out that I was out of network. Yes this is partially my fault for not checking, but I feel as though it is an average at best business practice not to inform a patent that they are out of network. read more

5 years ago I found Brushin on Belmont as most others do, through a friend and through Yelp. 5 years later I'm sad to be leaving it! This dentist is great! When I first started going I was having issues with cavities and bleeding gums. Instead of assuming it was my eating and brushing habits, as most other dentists did, Brushin on Belmont recommended changing toothbrush strength and toothpaste type. Magically, I almost immediately noticed a difference; less cavities and much healthier gums. And, on top of that, at my last visit the hygienist spent some time going over flossing with me. Some may find this off putting, but its hard to remember how best it should be done when you learned it oh so many years ago. The refresher was super helpful! So, all that being said, you may be wondering why the -1 star. Well, it seems that the word has gotten out about Brushin on Belmont. I unfortunately had to cancel my appointment in the early spring for a basic cleaning, but due to my poor planning and the wait to get in, it took well into August for me to get another appointment. I was loosing faith and patience. Luckily they called me last minute when a someone else canceled, so I was able to get in, finally! read more

I spent hours, days looking for a pediatric dentist who bills direct to Aetna and is close to my house. This place fit the bill, plus I learned somewhere online that they do not do x-rays until the kids are four or five, so that was an added bonus for me, what with my carcinophobia. I scheduled the toddler twins for their second dental appointment ever, and with Dr. Bob. Twin 1 was extremely nervous/is an anxious type and told me he was scared on the way over. He was immediately calmed by the fish tank and obligatory play area. Twin 2 was not nervous. They took both kids back at the same time, so that we would only have to wait for the dentist once (their idea). Twin 1 went first and was very cooperative, no crying etc. The hygienist told me I have the best behaved three year old ever. Hm. Twin 2 watched and apparently worked up a fair amount of anxiety, leading to a lot of crying during the first half of the cleaning. The hygienist did her best to calm the crying child, but alas the kid is not yet three, so asking her to not scream is essentially a cue for the opposite. In any event, midway through the cleaning, twin 2 stopped sobbing and was mostly ok for the remainder. Dr. Bob showed up shortly thereafter. He examines twin 2 first, as she is still sitting on my lap in the exam chair. He's great with her, and we are quickly back to twin 1. Twin 1, whom I thought the previous dentist said has at least one cavity, apparently has four or five shaded spots on his molars, but no cavities. Dr. Bob says they are definitely precursors for cavities, but, for a kid this age, he would do nothing now and re-evaluate in six months. It's not that they'll go away, but he's comfortable forgoing x-rays and the repair work until a later date...maybe he even more than six months from now, depending on how they look. I'm all about that. Like really all about that. They get an additional half star because street parking is available literally outside their door (and not metered). The icing on the cake is that notwithstanding her dramatics whilst in the chair, twin 2 pronounced on the way home "that lady and her man cleaned my teeth very carefully." read more

Brushin' on Belmont is MUCH more expensive than my previous, suburban dentist. However, if your insurance covers it, it's a great experience. I've had two cleanings thus far and have been impressed. On my first visit, I explained that I've had recurring jaw cysts. My insurance wouldn't cover a full pan x-ray, so the hygienist strategically angled the bitewing x-rays to catch more of my jaw bones- very generous. I love that the hygienists speak with positivity. Most dental offices make your gums bleed and then hound you for not flossing. At Brushin' on Belmont, they repeatedly compliment my habits and offer gentle suggestions for better health. Finally, this past visit, Dr. Monika wanted to see how my nighttime mouth guard was fitting. I had forgotten it. However, I only live a block away, and the office patiently waited while my boyfriend brought the mouth guard over. I was totally taking up another patient's time, and not once did they make me feel rushed or foolish. The people behind the counter are always upbeat and kind. I even got some seriously detailed information about the art on the walls when I asked about it! I now recommend Brushin' on Belmont to any city newcomers (with insurance) looking for a dentist. read more

Gotta say this place impressed me. No waiting in the waiting area when you arrive for your appointment. I am not a fan of the dentist and haven't been there in a long time, but decided to finally bite the bullet and go. Well to my surprise it was not bad at all. No scolding about not going to the dentist or anything like that. They took great care of me, patched up my fillings that needed to be replaced. If you are looking for a dentist this is the place. Glad I decided to go. Very easy to get to. read more

This is the best dental office in Chicago!!! The time, patience, and care they put into your teeth is unmatched. Everyone in the office are extremely polite, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend Brushin' for all ages. They pass no judgement and make you feel extremely comfortable. It's like a dental spa! read more

Monika Govoni fixed my severely chipped teeth yesterday on a very short notice call. The artistry is really something -- you can't tell at all. This is a nice small family run practice. I bring my kid here to see Bob Govoni -- my wife found him because he's actually got extra training in pediatric dentistry. It's clean and bright with very modern equipment as well. I wish they had longer hours, but I think I prefer having people who know and remember my family and come through for you when it matters. As to the other review, if I was a Polish dentist, I think I'd be insulted at being called the Brushin' Russian. read more

Dr Monika Govoni is the dentist for both my husband and me. My coca-cola-drinking, flossing-challenged husband has perfect teeth but Dr Govoni did explain to him that they may not be perfect forever if he doesn't start taking care of his teeth. He likes Dr Govoni a lot, but the dental hygienist was really rough and his mouth was very sore afterward. Dr Govoni and I had more of an extensive experience. I take very, very good care of my teeth but I have had a lot of decay. Other doctors have suggested that this may be due to my un-diagnosed gluten intolerance for so many years, but we will never know. Now, when I went into Dr Govoni for a cleaning and checkup, I had 2 small cavities and a super chipped tooth that needed a root canal and a crown. She took care of my cavities and the crown wonderfully. She referred me to Dr John Pawluk at Archer Dental Specialists for my root canal, where I was also well taken care of (see separate review). My teeth cleaning was rough, but since I take good care of my teeth, I wasn't sore and never bled at all. But truly, the dental hygienists could be a little more gentle, even during my cavity filling. That is the only reason that Brushin on Belmont gets 4 stars instead of 5. Dr Govoni is a wonderful dentist and has been good to me with all this work I have had to have done. I take care of my teeth, and she has given me more tips and ideas to help with the health of my teeth in the future. I feel like she is a partner in helping me have the best teeth possible. And that is a good feeling! read more

Dr. Govoni is terrific - highly professional and courteous, great staff. I totally recommend her. Luis read more

I have been coming to Brushin' on Belmont for the past four years. My family started using them as our dentist when they first opened. We have been so happy that we have continued to use Brushin' on Belmont as our dentist even though we now live in Evanston. They have very modern facilities and easy access via bus or EL. As a bonus, they are located across the street from a playground; a nice reward for the kids after a cleaning. read more

My little one loves going to the dentist; he gets excited about his cleanings and especially likes getting a toy car and toothbrush afterwards. Dr. Robert Govoni is pleasant and I like that he goes over every tooth after the hygienist is done to make sure nothing is left behind. My son feels comfortable talking to him and I feel that having such a positive first experience with with dentist will encourage him to have a healthy relationship with his his teeth. I have been here, for myself, as well. I have had a pretty good experience thus far and the office staff and Dr. Monika Govoni have all been friendly. My only complaint is that this last time I went, the hygienist cleaned my teeth and then said she needed to take x-rays. I declined the x-rays (I go to the orthodontist and will be getting my final x-rays next month; no need to do it twice). She said it was no big deal, she didn't see anything that concerned her and then sent me on my way. When I was walking out, I realized I never saw the dentist at all. In my experience (with other practices), the dentist has always come in to take a look after the hygienist is done (wether or not you get x-rays). It wasn't that big of a deal to me because I go to the orthodontist and she regularly checks my teeth and gums, but it felt it should have been done. read more

Just had the best experience here! The front desk was incredibly helpful with scheduling and gathering my information before arrival. My hygienist was super friendly and diligent. She offered great tips for brushing and flossing at home. Dr. Monica was knowledgeable, professional, kind and thorough. My teeth and jaw have never gotten so much attention! It was a very pleasant experience overall and I will definitely be coming back! read more

A coworker recommended this practice; it has been a while since I was at the dentist and to say my experiences with dental work have not been positive is putting it mildly. The actual cleaning I received here was well-done and they have a great computer set-up for x-rays and keeping records on your work. The office is clean and the appointment was on time. Of note is their policy that their is a 48 hour cancellation policy or else you are charged $50.00. The reason I am not rating this at 5 stars is that the reception staff's interactions with me were perfunctory at best. Margaret the hygienist was polite as was Dr. Monica but overall I did not have the remarkably positive interactions other folks that have reviewed had experienced. I will probably go back because the work itself was good. read more

Patronizing and judgmental. I literally posted on facebook after a visit with my kids at how I am so sick of Dentists and doctors being so demeaning and rude. They hygienist literally argued with me about how long I gave milk to my son when he was a baby..... does it matter? ok he has a cavity, sue me! so over these people as soon as I met them. I've since found a WONDERFUL pediatric dentist, and it's possible to find kind and caring medical providers that understand that no one is perfect. read more

if I could I would put 0 stars. I loved the office at first, everyone was very nice, and dr.monika appealed to me especially because she had the same name as me. She was very kind and gentle, however no matter how well I took care of my teeth she always found a cavity and I was constantly going in for me fills, and treatments. I ended up moving and choosing to try a dentist nearby, who to my surprise told me I had perfectly healthy teeth, while at the same time I was scheduled to treat 2 more at dr.monika's office. Now I do not know much about dentistry however I do know that I have learned my lesson and now wonder how many perfectly healthy teeth dr.monika has treated? So guys be careful when you go to this office it's a BiG SCAM !!!!!!!!!! read more

I learned my lesson yesterday!! Last fall, I made two appointments at two different locations to get a free consultation regarding my daughters teeth. They checked insurance and did not charge. She was grinding her teeth and possibly needed a mouthguard and eventually braces when all her baby teeth falls out. This was the consensus. We fell of the hunt for a bit then decided to pick it back up because my daughter said that her jaws were hurting. I made an appointment with Brushin on Belmont for the same experience. We liked this place because it was closer to her school then the first two places we were looking at in the fall. I was assuming that I was going to get the same experience, but we did not. The lady informed us that we were not in network, which was fine. We requested an invoice if we were to pay cash. As we were heading out she informed us that we were going to be charged $91 and to be put it on my credit card that was on file when we started the appointment. She stated that it was for the doctors time. We didn't feel that that was fair and we propose that if we decided to go ahead with a mouth guard which was $200 that the $91 will be credited towards that. She went in to talk to the dentist and it was not agreed-upon that that was something that they could do. I understand and except if we were not in network, but I feel that the dentist opening her mouth and taking a look at her teeth and letting us know that she needed a mouthguard and braces in the future should not cost $91. They called it a quick exam. And there was no room for a compromise. We felt that this was unfair and for this we will never go back, not even if we were going to pay cash. So, lesson learned, make sure that consultations are free and that you verify your insurance ahead and give your credit card only if you feel comfortable with it. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because they were nice as a staff. read more

This review is an update for me, as I last gave Brushin' on Belmont 5 stars. However, that was before they changed their parent & sibling policies. Now, siblings are no longer allowed back in the exam rooms (which means I have to hire a sitter to take my child to the dentist - uh, no thanks.) But more alarming is that PARENTS are no longer allowed in the exam rooms. Let me say this: I do NOT think I should have to send my four year old back to a dental exam by himself and "save my questions" and chat with a technician about my child after his appointment in the lobby. We're done with Brushin' on Belmont and so are many of our friends. I would no longer classify them as family or child-friendly. read more

I used Yelp reviews to pick this spot for my 14-month old's 1st dentist visit. People said the place was great-- they raved about how personable the folks there are. And perhaps that is the case with Dr. Monika-- such was not the case with the Dr. Bob. He knew it was my first time there. He knew I was alone. And yet he did nothing but patronize me. The visit involved no interactions or smiling at my kid to warm her up to things-- no tricks on how to get kids to open their mouths. Rather, I was part of a two-man pin down team as she screamed and he poked and scraped her mouth. Fine. I get it. She's small. But there was no kid-esque playful bedside manner. After this "check up," he wanted me to hold my screaming child so we could talk. Please. I finally stood up and said, I think we need to go. This is when he really hit me below the belt with the ultra condescending, "Um, are we not going okay, mom?" I was in and out of there within 10 minutes. And, despite seeing how upset I was, no one called to follow up or check in. I think he was still laughing at me when I left. I held off punching him, took the giant toothbrush they gave me (which was by no means the right size for my kid) and bolted. Horrible experience for kids and moms. Would not recommend to anyone I even remotely think is nice. read more

I just had a cleaning/checkup and four fillings at Brushin' on Belmont and it was the best dental experience I've had in ten years. Everyone is professional and friendly and knew how to deal with my extreme dental anxiety without making a big deal about it. I was put at ease and was confident that my teeth were in expert hands. During the cleaning, instead of scolding me, the hygenist actually pointed out the things I had done well when taking care of my teeth and then showed me a few specific tips and techniques to improve. After the cleaning my teeth looked the best they've looked in years. For the fillings, Dr. Govoni does efficient, careful work. She was very sensitive to how I was feeling and really walked me through getting the novacaine shots. In one instance the shot had to go in a difficult spot and she was very patient. I had two appointments for two fillings each and the appointments were between 45 mins. and an hour. Much better than the six (!) hours I spent in the chair at Perfect Smile for fillings where they also gassed me into oblivion. The office isn't trying to be a spa with a ton of amenities, but it is clean and modern and comfortable in there. Even though they have a pediatric practice, the waiting room isn't overrun with kids and toys. There is a separate calm little alcove with a few toys, so it is welcoming to both kids and adults. They have TVs you can watch while you're in the chair and the place has a spacious, airy feel to it. Another plus for phobic people like me is that the chairs face the windows so I never felt like I was trapped in the room during appointments. They aren't the cheapest, but they are comparably priced (and maybe a little lower) than other high-end dentists around town, and well worth the money. read more

My wife and I liked this place for our Son Axel...until he turned four. Then we were told, out of the blue in the middle of a regular check-up, directly by doctor Govoni that our son must have a yearly set of x-rays or we can "find another dentist". I was shocked by his ultimatum, but more troubled that I didn't have a say in my son's medical care. I asked why that was so important to him and his first response was to to avoid liability issues. Does that mean he's afraid I'm going to sue him or are insurance companies forcing his hand? He then went on to say it was for the best of my son's dental health, but at that point it was pretty obvious that Axel's well being was not the priority. I hope the clinic figures out a way to work with parents who don't want to use x-rays as a pre-diagnostic tool. We would have definitely kept going. read more

Dr. Govoni's great. She's done my cleanings at "Hilliard Blank and Associates" in Lincoln Park for about a year or so and I even had her do my composite veneers on my top front 6 teeth. She did an excellent job and I get compliments all the time. I think she opened a new office with her husband recently, but I haven't been to it yet. Great dentist. read more

Brushin on Belmont is great. Our kids love going to see Dr Bob and picking a prize from the treasure chest. Dr Bob has a great way of putting the kids at ease. The cartoons on the TVs at each chair help too. My husband and I see Dr Monika who is also fantastic. She is very professional and gentle. The office staff and hygenists are also very friendly and professional. The office is well run to get you in and out quickly. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Monika for over ten years--since before she opened B.O.B.--and I would follow her anywhere! She is kind, careful and thorough, and has always made sure that I leave every appointment as comfortable as possible. I've been with her through everything from regular cleanings/check-ups to crowns and fillings, and she has never once let me down. The office staff is also highly competent and friendly, and the facility is modern and comfortable. I continue to recommend Brushin on Belmont and Dr. Monika to all of my friends and family, and each person who has gone has become a permanent patient there. read more

Brushin' on Belmont was I felt judgmental and condescending. The receptionist was very curt and prompt in telling me that they do not deal with insurances at all and that was all up to me. She was very enthusiastic in charging me. I felt the way that they charged was very cold-shouldered. They sent me bills with bright orange stickers on top of the envelope saying past due and she even called and threatened to charge the card that I had used to pay a bill the remaining balance. Apparently, if you use a card once you give them permission to charge the card. That is your consent. I liked the dentist's manner with my daughter but overall not worth it. read more

I am so in love with this place! They always get me in on time, are quick and never keep me waiting. They usually finish all tasks in a day (getting a new retainer). They are quick to respond and are always reliable. Staff is cheerful, helpful and make your visit smooth. read more

I brought my 5 year old daughter to Dr. Bob when she had multiple cavities and needed twilight sleep so she wouldn't have a lifetime fear of the dentist. She slept through the whole thing and did great. Two years later, my son had a large cavity. He also has Aspergers. The staff at Brushin' could not have been kinder or more understanding. They showed him all the equipment for the nitrous oxide gas and described the entire process at the initial visit. When we returned for the filling, they continued to explain things first, and my son felt comfortable enough that I could stay in the waiting room. It was everything we could have hoped for and more in a unpleasant filling appointment. I'm so grateful to everyone there for treating my son with kindness and respect. read more
