I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kakos. He stepped in during a very difficult and…read morecomplicated situation to help my dentist remove a two-decade-old implant crown from an implant system that has long been discontinued and is no longer commonly worked on. This was not a simple procedure. The crown and abutment were extremely difficult to remove, and there was uncertainty about what would be found underneath. Dr. Kakos was willing to take on a challenge that many others would not, working carefully and persistently to help preserve my existing implant rather than moving straight to removal. His kindness, confidence, and willingness to help made an incredibly stressful situation much easier to handle. Thanks to his expertise and determination, the implant was saved and I can move forward with the next stage of treatment. I am truly grateful that he was willing to step in when I needed someone with the skill and experience to tackle such an unusual case. Thank you, Dr. Kakos!

Frustrated of Unexpected Billing Charges. I believed that for every procedure they do, they should…read morehave a detailed explanation of the anticipated costs and on what does the insurance covers or not. But each time our family would undergo for a procedure, we get surprised of the bill and always being told it's our previous balance from the last procedure. This facility needs to be transparent to their patient especially on billing charges that was not informed before the procedure. We feel that we are being trapped on the situation. It gives us a financial burden. Not happy about it.

I cracked one of my front teeth, need an implant. My dentist recommended Dr Tatch. Dr Tatch did a…read moregreat job on removing and implanting my tooth. The operation was fast,and I only had very mild pain and bleeding on the first day. I didn't have to take any of the painkillers that I had prepared before the surgery. I did using the frozen pea to cold patch the surgical area constantly for the first 24 hours and warm patch after. After 24 hours, I only had a little bit of discomfort and no swelling. By third day I was basically feeling fine. It's been three weeks since the surgery. The only thing I need to do is avoid crushing and hard food, and wait for another two months for it to heal. Thank you, Dr Tatch for a wonderful job.

My extended family have been seeing Dr. Tatch of the NorthShore Center for a quarter of a century…read more This time my 2 old implants installed in Mexico apx. 13 years ago started failing (mobile, pain and discomfort). Dr. Tatch is out of dental Network, and he was on vacation anyway, so I decided to check out a different (rather new) in-Network surgeon 3 miles from my home, and that guy gave me a page of "smoke and mirrors" with "big discounts" and a bunch of "IF"s and contingencies and additions, and that's before new implants, so I went to NorthShore Center for consultation anyway, and... OMG,.. I met Dr. Yost Smith, a very kind, patient, competent, intelligent, and detailed doctor, and I was so impressed that I scheduled my implants removal and bone graft right away for the next day, and - Attention! - their plan/estimate was lower than the other so-called "in-Network" guy. Next night something in my mouth woke me up - it was my 2 fused implants that fell out on their own. Dr. Smith was very skillful and patient again answering my new questions, and he never charged me for implants removal, no games or questions asked. The staff has been always amazing for the last 20-25 years, but this time I met a dozen new associates who were very caring, friendly, and skillful. Wow, what a great experience! THANKS A LOT, Dr. Smith and NorthShore Center staff!

I had a broken tooth that broke off where a very old filling was. It was a little sensitive so I thought for sure I was going to be looking at a root canal and a crown. The doctor did a $270 filling the next day. I really couldn't believe it. I'm so grateful that he save me $2000. I probably would never have known if he told me I needed the root canal and crown.

I have been very impressed by the time he takes to talk and explain procedures to your comfort zone! Dr. Eskoz is a specialist and works on procedures your dentist sends you to have done! They work together to accomplish root canals, implants, etc.! I had an emergency and I had no dentists due to insurance change, and the Dentist I had known was out of town! The Emergency Center I tried was using up all my insurance plus expecting me to charge lots of work...when ALL I wanted was 1 tooth out of pain! I didn't feel comfortable with the work this Center was proposing and had started! Because I Trust Dr. Eskoz, I visited his office in Lake in the Hills,which had a Great time slot open.... to seek his HELP and advice regarding my situation! Dr. Eskoz ... was very thorough and helpful by carefully checking the tooth in pain, and the work that was started by this Emergency Center...! The consultation he gave me I found priceless! I made my own decision and took the course that solved the issue! Thank you Dr. Eskoz for taking the time to care! Thank you also to the office staff for fitting me into a schedule so quickly...knowing I was in pain! You Folks are great! Sincerely Mrs. Criswell

I do not recommend this dentist or his staff. I went to my own dentist with pain and he referred me…read moreto Dr. Eskoz. My dentist called his office while I was yet in the chair. I heard the entire conversation. Included in that conversation he told the receptionist to hold the 3:45 appointment open for me and he told her that I would call her as well. As soon as I left my dentist's office I called Dr. Eskoz. All I got was an answering machine. I left a message saying who I was and I was confirming that I wanted the3:45 appointment and I left my phone # for them to contact me. At 3:45 I arrive at Dr. Eskoz office and went to speak to the receptionist and explained who I was and that My dentist had asked that they hold the 3:45 appointment for me. She said, "no he didn't" She may not have realized it but I heard him say that. She then told me, (in a rather snotty manner) that Dr. Eskoz was not in this office today and that I would have to have been at the appointment at 3:15 any way. I then explained that I had called several hours ago to confirm the appointment but I only reached an answering machine. So, I left a message. She then told said, "We've been very busy all day, we haven't listened to our messages." Is it my fault she didn't listen to the messages?! Especially when she should be expecting a call/referral from another dentist. The only reason I can come up with for making a new appointment at this dentist is that I was in bad pain and felt desperate. The appointment was for 2 days later! Thank goodness I had some pain killers left from my regular dentist to get me through. I arrived early for the next appointment. When Dr. Eskoz came in he explained that he would put me on an antibiotic and not start the root canal until the following Tuesday. I knew I would never make it as far as pain. I could not function already and I told him so. He prescribed some more pain meds. I was not happy but felt I had no choice. On my way home I find I had a message on my cell phone. The receptionist said Do not fill the prescription, do not take that medication. Apparently they felt there was possible problems with another medicine I was taking. I called the office back and got the receptionist but the office was closed and everyone else had left. I told her I can not possibly go through the long weekend with this pain (Thanksgiving weekend-4 days, office closed). She said she would call Dr. Eskoz and get back to me. Dr. Eskoz never got back to me. He didn't care that I was facing a long weekend of horrible pain. I filled the prescription anyway. I had already used this pain medicine with out any negative effects and I could barely stand the pain WITH this medicine. I think it was the following day that the receptionist said I could come in one day earlier, Monday afternoon instead of Tuesday afternoon. BIG WHOOP! I asked if Dr. Eskoz can't get me in any earlier than that, would he give me a prescription for something else? She said, " No, because you took the other medication when he told you not to, he won't give you anything. You can take Advil." So.... now he feels he has to discipline me for not wanting to be in pain while he goes home to his family for the Holiday weekend. Had he been a compassionate person, which in his line of business he should be, he would have called me back with another option so that I too could enjoy the weekend. He could have opened up the tooth right away, at that appointment. Yes that would have taken 1-2 hours but that would have relieved me of the pain. I'm venturing a guess, but I think no one wanted to delay their plans for the weekend. Who cares if a patient is in pain. Even if everything else had gone smoothly, I have to say, there is no warmth with any of the girls behind the desk. The one was downright cocky. People are imperfect and make mistakes. But this was bad attitude and selfishness.
