    I am pleased to give this review. The staff here at beautiful smile are friendly, warming and…read morewelcoming. The facility is well maintained, clean, and up to date with dental tech. I've only been a patient for 2 days now and must say I'm happy with the level of care and service. I moved to Waukegan 2 years ago and my regular dentist is a 45 min drive south, I've decided to switch to Beautiful smile because of the shorter drive but most of all the awsome experience. Thank you Beautiful smile dental center.

    My only visit with these greedy pigs was 07/07/2023. We'd spoken 3-4 times beforehand because they…read morerescheduled. I showed up 15 minutes early because I hadn't received the new patient paperwork they were supposed to email. When I handed the receptionist the completed paperwork she told me they needed a copy of the last set of full x-rays as my insurance only covers it every five years-or I had to pay an extra $150.00 out of pocket. They had ample time to establish this prior to the appointment. The receptionist then tells me that they don't check benefits until the day of the appointment because if they check in advance, insurance may expire before the appointment. HUH? Insurance can retro-deactivate at will.. I told her that I would be glad to reach out for the x-rays on their behalf but wouldn't be paying out of pocket. I also advised that the old DDS has staffing issues so it might take a while. She said that was fine and they could still do my cleaning. About 10 minutes later she called me back to the desk to ask if I was able to get the x-rays yet. WHAT? I explained that I wasn't in a position to make a call from their waiting room and would email the old DDS a request when I got home and normal turnaround time for a records release at least 5 business days. Then, some guy comes out of the back room and starts arguing that I need to get them for "legal reasons". That's BS and I don't appreciate being lied to. Then a 3d lady hops in and tells me that they can't ask the old DDS due to HIPAA regulations. Nothing is going to make a provider lose credibility faster than using HIPAA as an excuse for not doing their job, all they need is a signed release. They finally agreed to do their own set of full x-rays at no cost to me. The DDS asked me why I switched from my old DDS & I explained that they had too many staffing issues and she asked what I do for a living and if we ever have staffing issues (rude!). They also tried to up-sell me thousands in unnecessary treatment and made me sign a million waivers as intimidation. They also padded the bil for a $32.00 consultation fee-which insurance denied. So...fast forward to January 2024. For obvious reasons, I have a new DDS & I ask them for copies of my X-rays & this is the response they text me: Good Afternoon Dear Stacy, I have tried to contact you since I missed your call, sorry about that, I wanted to inform you that we are going to return the $52 to your insurance for the bitewings but you will have to pay for the complete set of your x-rays which, respecting the value of your insurance, is $105 since they would not cover that procedure on the day of your visit please call back at (847)249-5700 thank you. Anyhow, I very eloquently explained that I wouldn't be paying them a penny. The new DDS said not to worry about the copies of the X-rays and I was going to just move on but then a few days later I received the x-ray by mail. No letter, no explanation no, $0 statement. These people are just too unprofessional for words!

    Wow! The staff at Delaney were absolutely amazing. I took my mother in for a consultation, which…read moreincluded a comprehensive exam with full-mouth X-rays. From the moment we arrived, everyone was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. From Jake, Kelly, the, office manager, and Doctor Amidei were all wonderful people who made us feel comfortable and well cared for. Their compassion and attention to detail were truly exceptional. I was so impressed with the experience that I'm considering switching to Delaney as my own dentist. If you have dental anxiety or a fear of going to the dentist, I highly recommend this office. Their kindness, patience, and compassionate care will help put you at ease.

When you ask for a quote make sure to get a physical copy and be ready to be charged an extra significant amount of money AFTER YOUR TREATMENT surprise that they won't tell you about . Not only that they will screw up your appointment again back to the front desk communication issues. I think it's time for you Delany dental care to change your front desk staff and it's time for our family to find a new dentist. Very disappointing given how much money we have spend over the years. Seems like ALL they care about is money! lack of communication and mistakes of their front desk staff is none of Delany concern. To add on top of it your billing department is no help either! What a shame!

    Let me preface this review with the statement that Dr. Sanai is extraordinarily talented in his…read morefield, as well as kind, gentle, patient and reasonably priced. The same could be said for his assistant and dental hygienist. However, almost every single experience with the receptionist staff has been undeservingly toxic, whether by phone or in person. I've never experienced anything like it before and I have observed it done to other patients. It bothers me when people are unnecessarily mean to others, so I did build up the courage to address it with Dr. Sanai directly, as I feel it negatively affects his patients and his business. He was aware of the problem and seemed receptive and apologetic. Today I returned a call from the office about an upcoming appointment that was canceled, according to the receptionist (to reschedule) and I was hung up on a total of 6 times, after I identified myself. They were not experiencing phone issues. Dr.Sanai asked me to please provide him with a good review and I really wanted to; but I cannot in good conscience send potential patients his way when they will most likely be treated with ill manner by adult women that behave like high school level mean girls. This is a place that is supposed to help care for people. Francesca H

    I recently scheduled an appointment for a second opinion for perio-care. However, my experience was…read moreincredibly disappointing. When I explained that I was seeking an unbiased second opinion, they insisted on receiving my previous consultation record from an out-of-network provider. This requirement was completely unreasonable, especially considering the short timeframe of a bit over 48 hours between their request and my scheduled appointment. Despite my explanation, they remained inflexible and even charged a $100 fee. When I attempted to discuss this further, they abruptly ended the conversation, hanging up the phone with the rude comment, "You do not seem to like our office practices" and hung up the pone!!! I was left feeling frustrated and disrespected. I strongly advise anyone considering seeking a second opinion to avoid this place at all costs. Their unprofessional behavior and unreasonable demands are unacceptable. I am adding this review on Friday, November 22nd, at 11:48 AM, with my appointment scheduled for Tuesday at 2:00 PM. Even with an early cancellation outside of the 48-hour window, their response was unacceptably rude and unfair. Now I see MANY one star reviews on them form others..wow.
