This doctor failed to provide us with proper information in regard to why he couldn't get the teeth out not to mention his front laterals were all loose after the procedure. Now 3 weeks later my brother still has stitches and nobody has giving us information on the proper care or removal. We finally couldn't take this and my mother reached out to them, the receptionist was rude and answered "I don't know" to all my questions! We asked to speak with the doctor and we got an excuse every time. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless you don't care about customer service.

Something my dentist never mentioned. The receptionist explained the advantages of an implant and said if I wanted an implant I would probably need a bone graft. She also went over costs.

The first thing the doctor said after checking $200 worth of CT scan and over $50 worth of x-rays is "I don't know." He said that he might do a root canal but first they gotta check with the insurance if they will pay or no. Some days later, I receive a call from the old lady that works at the front desk, talking about money and payment, and when I asked her about a charge that was on my dental insurance, she started acting like she cannot hear me, and from the way she acted, it was obvious that she was making it up. The moment I walked into the dentist, it was obvious that all they cared about was the money, not to treat people because they spoke to me more about money than about my condition, especially the front desk lady. She's very unprofessional and she kicks clients away with her attitude.

Here. Come here. Going to the dentist, any dentist office is terrifying for me. I've grown up with…read moreissues with my oral health and had a horrible root canal experience when I was little so when I heard I needed another root canal, it was daunting. My body genuinely froze in fear and I pleaded with my dentist to find another way. She told me it could not be delayed anymore and offered me a few different referrals. When discovering how much it was going to cost (my dental insurance had been maxed out for the year), I felt even more defeated. I called the offices that my dentist suggested, Dr. Karras being one of the options, as well as a handful of other endodontists. Dr. Karras was on par with most of the endodontists I had called, but I decided to go with him because my dentist was sooooo insistent that Dr. Karras is the BEST for root canals and that is who she trusts as her endodontist. I really did believe my dentist when she said it because she had repeated it so many times but I couldn't help but feel so terrified because of my first root canal experience being so horrible. However, the experience at Dr. Karras's office was fantastic from start to finish. Anda who was the woman I spoke with on the phone was empathetic, direct, and was so helpful when I was asking questions about the service and costs. A lot of other places were clearly annoyed with my questions about cost and a little ambiguous on what the total cost would be but Anda had no problem being direct which put my heart at ease. She was also so kind and understanding when I was telling her I was struggling because of the pain I was in with my tooth but still felt hesitant to pay out of pocket. I felt like the other offices were just a "say you'll pay or just hang up" attitude. The technician I had for the root canal was also amazing. I so wish I remembered her name because she was SO sweet. She was so empathetic and really put her best effort to help calm me down when I was shaking from fear. She asked me questions about my life to distract me, told me about herself, and even offered to hold my hand when I was getting overwhelmed. With an office with such great employees, it's no surprise that Dr. Karras is just as amazing. He seems intimidating at first because he just has a strong presence and is very straight-forward but he clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He was patient with me when I was telling him I was scared and was literally shaking and breathing heavily from fear. He just told me not to worry he was nonchalant but not in a passive or arrogant way at all. It was just confirming that he was an expert and to trust him. I have to say, it was pretty painless. Not AT ALL like my first experience. It obviously was a little painful for the numbing shots since the area was highly sensitive but other than that and the intial drilling for the numbing shot for the tooth, it was like like wham bam done. I know my dentist said Dr. Karras was the best but this was even better than my expectations! Root canals are no longer one of my fears in life! Though...I still hope I don't need anymore. I highly commend AND recommend the Karras Endotontist team. I really can't say enough about all of them. I am truly grateful.

I've gone here on and off for years. The cleanings are great. The dental staff is very…read moreknowledgeable and overall are usually friendly. Prices seem higher than other offices. However, I've noticed that every single crown done here has ended up needing a root canal. My last crown done here that didn't need one is currently acting up and is going to need one as well. A few years back, Dr. Kase fitted a crown and I remember his hand was very rough - he pulled and pushed on the tooth he was working on very hard and seemed very frustrated while working on it. The tooth was in extreme pain for several days following this. This tooth ended up needing a root canal shortly over a year afterwards and was also suffering from root resorption which I was told is fairly rare and could be caused by trauma to the tooth (which the tooth never had aside from the rough handling during the crown fitting here). I also ran into a massive problem with Delta Dental insurance over them not wanting to cover a root canal done on a crowned tooth done at this office since they already had recently paid for a crown on that same tooth. After fighting with them for months, in the end they refused to cover the root canal. It's hard to tell if the insurance was being unreasonablly difficult and cheap, or they just felt it was a red flag that the same tooth needed to have extensive work done twice within a short period of time (or maybe a combination of both). Either way, the odds of needing root canals shortly after having crowns done are fairly low enough to the point that it is somewhat alarming that every single crown done here needed a root canal in a relatively short period of time afterwards. I simply think that it's only prudent to be weary about this.

"Let me tell you something (snotty attitude, figure pointed, blood shot eyed) " The Dr. heard you in the hall and has decided that since you are already upset with our office you should find another Dr. to treat you." I said "So its my fault?" "well, i'm not saying that..." I walked out. that was the fifth office I called and only appointment I could get, I was trying to find some one in my area to treat my TMJ. My last doctor was in Wisconsin and I was sick of traveling. I biked 4 miles for nothing, and cried all the way home. is there such a thing as a code of ethics these days?? is that legal to turn me away? even though i was willing to pay the full amount? The stigma of women with emotional issues has become a tacky and socially unacceptable view to hold, an unprofessional one for a Dr. writing a letter to medical board, the next closest doctor with my insurance is double the distance away . maybe the fact that you are a TMJ specialist should make you aware that TMJ gives you pounding headaches and anxiety? maybe enough to become overwhelmed?

City = traffic. However, this is even closer to us than Vernon Hills and I can get there within 20 minutes! City also usually means difficult parking , but they have a parking lot with plenty of spaces. As usual we didn't have to wait more than a few minutes after checking in on their tablet. They called my son's name over a speaker system to chair 6 (fancy) and they took pictures of his progress. We seem to see a different orthodontist everytime we come here, which I dont love since we specifically came to Dr. Jacobson for his airway knowledge, but we're also just in the retainer phase between expansion and whatever comes next so dont' think it's too complicated. I booked my next appointment at this same location over Vernon Hills because it's about 10 min closer to where I live and a lovely office.

After having my first 2 children go here I have throughly dissatisfied. My youngest daughter is currently completing her braces. Everything started great until brackets started breaking. The technicians did not respond when we brought why the brackets were breaking. We've been here for 3 years now. This was a very expensive treatment that you had to enter a payment agreement. Then we started getting extra charges for the broken brackets. When we voiced our concern about all the broken brackets I felt like it fell on "deaf ears". Finally we got a consultation time to discuss this with the doctor. He explained that with some people's teeth the glue for the brackets doesn't adhere the same. I had asked that this wasn't properly explained I would agree that if the brackets break in the future I would pay for those, but they wouldn't agree to that. I felt that would be fair given it took so long to get this explanation. The Dr. didn't agree and said we still needed to pay for the brackets and late fees. So here we sit paying extra fees and late fees.
