Giving glowing reviews to doctors is always something I view as a double-edged sword. I always wonder---Will they have time for me when I need them, after telling so many people about my experience??? But at the same time, I only visit him a few times a year and I can't personally fund his payroll and expenses with the little business I give him. Alas, he deserves a review afterall. I have seen Dr. Schneider for several years. I also saw his daughter when she was part of his practice. I've always had a great experience with his staff (and the doctors themselves) and continue to return because of them. It's important to note that I am a terrible patient. I absolutely hate dental visits. I hate the noises, the smells, the tastes and the fear of POSSIBLE pain (since everyone knows that extreme pain always flares up on weekends!) I am an anxiety-riddled person the minute I sit in the chair until I leave. He and his staff handle me well. I had a same-day crown a few years ago from Dr. Schneider and honestly it's the best fitting crown I've ever had. I appreciate that he's gentle in his work (not all dentists are!) and conservative with his recommendations of treatment. He may recommend redoing old dental work, but there's a reason for it. And he tells you why, repeatedly. His practice is so busy he doesn't need to create reasons for you to spend your money. I appreciate his staff is forthcoming with fees you will pay before work is done. Insurance in general (ESPECIALLY Dental insurance) is tricky. Their upfront conversations allow you to plan and make choices. Also, Dr. Schneider has a sunny disposition. He sees people in pain every day, and still manages to be friendly to all of his patients. I always know the personality I'm going to see when I go in there. read more

I have been going to Dr. Schneider for over twenty years now and can't say enough good things about him as a dentist and just as an overall person. He is knowledgeable, personable, and always in a great mood. I have 100% trust in his work and opinion whenever I have come in for any type of procedure (standard cleaning, cavities, wisdom teeth, InvisAlign). Thank you Dr. Schneider for everything you have done for my teeth, my brushing habits, and really just spoiling my dentist experience in such a great way. Someone is going to have some huge shoes to fill when you finally hang up your scrubs. read more

Christopher L. Schneider, DMD - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Streamwood, Illinois

My family has been going to this dentist all my life. The story goes that a dentist wanted my mom to get gum surgery, but my parents decided to get a second opinion. They found Dr. Schneider. Rather than spend a lot of money (and cause a lot of pain!) with surgery, Dr. Schneider suggested my mom floss regularly. This made surgery unnecessary. Moral of the story: Dr. Schneider has the patients' interest in mind. In my experience, I've never had to sit very long in the waiting area. The receptionists, dental hygienists, and dentist have all been very friendly and I feel comfortable going here. read more

It saddens me to write this incident because my entire family (6 people) have been going to Dr Schneider successfully and happily since 2012 but unfortunately today was the last day! We will all be going to a dentist that not only does good work but also RESPECTS! He always tries to get everyone to get wisdom teeth removed and other pricey procedures on optional non bothersome dental issues. And we just say no thanks. Take the quotes and again say thanks but not interested. But wow guess no boundaries because if you have toddlers please do your research! Dr Schneider adviced my daughter in law to get 2 minor cavities filled on my 4 year old grandson. These are his baby teeth and none of us felt this was immediately necessary, are there other options? Would he have to be put under? We've heard of toddlers being put under to fill baby teeth cavities only to never wake up! I asked my son and daughter in law to consider taking him to the appointment but further discuss this research (below). I accompanied my daughter in law as both her and my grandson had appointments, initially they called my grandson in and his mother said she wanted to go first to be with him when it was his turn and also let him see the drilling was not going to hurt her. About 5 minutes after she was taken, I was in the waiting room with my grandson, Dr Schneider came out completely ignored me didn't say good afternoon or even look at me. He went straight to my 4 year old grandson and took him by the hand to the back. I assumed his mother had asked for him and was left just thinking how rude it was that the dentist didn't even acknowledge me. About 3 minutes later I hear my grandson crying and I am thinking his mother was going to see if the cavities were able to be monitored since they aren't bothering him and we could wait since baby teeth fall out, she had questions why is my grandson crying? I got up and walked over there to find Dr Schneider and an assistant over my grandson with their tools in hand inside my grandson's mouth! I loudly asked my daughter in law who was still getting work done in another room if she knew they had her son back here if she had given permission and she came running saying NO! I told Dr Schneider off! How can they be so deceitful about taking a 4 year old alone when he knows that on ALL previous visits for check ups this little boy has always had his mother or grandmother with him. If we didn't leave him alone for regular check ups why would we leave him alone for something more serious! I am disgusted because I am now convinced that his ignoring me was purposeful so I didn't ask questions while he already had every intention of getting to work on a 4 year olds mouth! ..."Some 40 per cent of five-year-olds have tooth decay and at least one in ten is treated with fillings. But evidence from the case notes of 50 dentists suggests fillings may not offer significant benefits. Professor Martin Tickle, of the University of Manchester, found no difference in the numbers of extractions for pain or infection whether baby teeth had been filled or not. A 2003 survey of parents of five-year-olds found only six per cent would want their child to have a filling if they had symptomless decay." read more

My husband introduced me to Dr. Schneider about 6 years ago. We have had nothing but great experiences with him. We have since moved about 30 miles away and tried going to an office near our home-- what a mistake. We drive the hour it takes to get there and its worth it. He listens to your concerns-- expl- I hate the polishing part so he does it quick and painless--- per my anxiety over it. I have TMJ and he is going to a confrence this Dec so he sugg i come back in Jan when he has updated info on the best way to treat my condition-- NOT just goingt into some long drawn out expensive treatment right away. We love this office and will go there as along as we can. read more

Best dentist ever. Please check picture # 7that is my teeth before and after. Thank you so much Dr. Schneider and his assistant. read more

Dr Schneider and his staff are the best! I've been his patient for more than 15 years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. My son likes him and his staff too! read more

Dr. Schneider seems like a good dentist but I am really concerned about the number of times he touched me during an appointment. He touched and rested his hand on my shoulder at least 15 times during the appointment and also laid his hand on top of my head. Very weird and creepy. If the dental assistant had not been in and out of the room I would have gotten up and left the appointment. I basically just wanted to get the appointment over and get out of there. I'm still trying to decide if I should back to him and just be upfront and tell him to stop touching me or just not go back at all and look for another dentist. If there are any other of Dr. Schneider's patients who have had the same experience please do a review. I'm not sure what his purpose or reasoning is behind all the touching but if he is doing this with all his female patients then I'm sure I'm not the only one who is uncomfortable visiting his office. Maybe if female patients stop returning as clients he'll get the message and stop this creepy and inappropriate behavior. read more

I had previously written a negative review and I regret doing so. I had my information wrong all along. I had seen a couple other dentist's who apparently didn't know what they were doing. I was under the impression Dr. Schneider was filling teeth that didn't have any issues. Boy was I wrong! When I had excruciating pain in my jaw/ tooth... I knew where to you. Dr. Schneider is the best dentist you could possibly find. read more

I have been going to Dr. Schneider for about a year and have had a positive experience. It can be difficult to get an appointment for the time you want, but that's typical for many dentists. He uses a small camera to view your teeth which is far more comfortable than the traditional methods of holding a patients mouth open and trying to see in (its also kind of neat to see your teeth on tv!). read more

Cool and down to earth staff! I was not excited about going to the dentist (who ever is??) But the team here made me comfortable and at ease. No stuffy office vibe and very relatable folks here. Follow up and caring seems second nature to them and would recommend them across the board! read more

Have been going to Dr. Schneider for about 5 years now. As a kid I had a truly frightening dentist; I used to dread dental appointments, but no more. Everyone on staff, without exception, is pleasant & professional, the atmosphere is always relaxed, the space feels very clean and I never have to wait long. State-of-the-art equipment in use. I always feel like I'm in good hands there. Dr. Schneider is gentle and thorough. He really listens to any concerns, but doesn't push to do unnecessary procedures. How wonderful to have a dentist I really like and trust!! read more

I had my first appointment at Streamwood Smiles Dental Care with Dr. Caitlin Wehrle. It was a great experience. This dental office has state-of-the art dental equipment so the exam was thorough and complete. Dr. Wehrle is very competent and explains every step of the exam. I've never had a better cleaning than the one I got today. Two thumbs up from me. I am definitely going back to Streamwood Smiles for all my future appointments. Everyone in the office is well trained and very professional; such an added bonus. read more

Gahhhh! These guys are the best!!!!! Had an all around wonderful experience here and have recommended them to everyone I know :) read more

Haven't been to the dentist in 6 years because of a bad experience. Unfortunately I cracked a tooth and could not put it off any longer. From the gal that greeted me at the front door to my encounter with Dr. Schneider & his assistant all went great. They explained what they were going to do and why...and better yet, I felt no pain!!! I even received a follow up call today to see how I was doing. All in all great experience, would highly recommend. read more

Dr. Schneider has been my dentist for 25 years, and I've always felt 100% confident that I am getting the highest quality service. The technology used at the office is state of the art, and is used to provide exemplary service in as little time as possible. He treats every patient with the utmost respect, and it shows through the long lasting relationships he has built with many families in the Chicago-land area. Both Dr. Schneider and his staff are friendly, patient, warm and diligent in responding to your needs. I'd never dream of finding another dentist! read more

I was referred to Dr. Schneider by my mother in law who has been a patient of Dr. Schneider for many years. I really like Dr. Schneider. He is very calm and explains everything really well. It is very awesome that he has a tv in the room so you are able to see inside your mouth. He is very nice; along with his staff. Samantha (his assistant) was very nice too! I definitely will be coming back for many years! read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE. Christopher L. Schneider, DMD was horrible with my three year old son. It was my sons first visit and he was scared and crying and the dentist grabbed his face and squeezed his cheeks and told him to stop. He yelled at my son, and me for allowing him to act that way. He was very unprofessional. I ended up walking out of the appointment and we will never be going back. ZERO stars. read more
