I have been a patient of Dr. Landau for over 30 years and he's taken wonderful care of my teeth in…read morethe most professional and caring manner possible. Can dental procedures be expensive? Well, yes, but with Dr. Landau you know you are being treated by a skilled and experienced dentist using the latest technologies. From the time they recommended fluoride treatment at checkup appointments, I haven't had a cavity and I appreciate their foresight in making that suggestion. Dr. Landau and the entire staff are friendly, easy to talk to, open, honest and willing to listen. You won't find on the North Shore a better dentist or dental office.

This dentist told me that I needed expensive work done that was not really needed! Dr Landau said I…read moreneeded a scaling on all 4 of my quadrants ($850) due to deep periodontal pockets he saw. Said it was such a big job, I had to do it in 2 separate appts. I came in for first procedure of right side. I had some problems with side effects of the anesthesia later in day, He did not return my phone call for three days after my many attempts at leaving messages. That alone is alarming. So with that raising issues I had to see another dentist (actually 2 different highly qualified dentists) who both found that I did not have any pockets Dr. Landau saw. If he said both sides needed scaling and emphasized how bad they were.. then why was the other side he didn't do yet perfect without any signs of pockets? I refused to pay him for the half of the procedure he performed and he actually seemed ok with that -never perused me or sent a bill. That alone shows he admitted wrongdoing as he knew he couldn't argue or pursue this. I just hope patients can do their research to see the many dissatisfied patient reviews online. There have been many others just like myself that I wish I saw before I started with him. However I have notices that he seems to get many of these bad reviews removed from here. Also beware when you see a ton of rave reviews for doctors on who have bad reviews as they are putting up these bogus good reviews to balance out the bad ones. Keep in mind that there are usually few to no reviews for most doctors, even the good ones. People know who the well established top doctors are w/o Yelp. But don't be duped and fall for doctors on these review sites who have their friends and family post lots of good ratings to offset the bad ones. Just beware that this dentist is mostly motivated by money and not your best interest!

And I haven't taken even a single pill for either of these (though the office really pushed me to - I am insane when it comes to medicine). On top of the magical dental outcome (of course top criteria #1!) here the extra things deserving the 6th star. - Amazing ambiance and design of the whole practice - lobby to WC! - Dr. Gromov was kind enough to bring a wireless speaker in the room and played us cool music - I could even Shazam some during the breaks - Amazing price (criteria #2?). I got 3D scan + consultation. The proposed treatment plan was lower cost than a different one I got 6 months ago from a different office in Arlington Heights. And it included more at the same time! - Discount payment option. A significant one! - I visited the office on Monday. Because of my travel plans ahead, the office managed to accommodate me immediately on the next day!!! This way I will have the time for my 2 weeks checkup before I travel. - Multilingual team - I had the opportunity to chat in 3 languages :-) I am almost thinking of pulling few more teeth just for the great experience :-). Joking aside, for sure if need arrives - I know which chair I will be sitting on. Music on!

Since the end of the pandemic, I have been going to Northbrook Dental Care for hygiene…read moreappointments. My daughter and husband have been going there for many years before I did. Dr. Jay Rodgers is the owner, and he has a team of nice and skillful hygienists and technicians. I have been happy with my hygienist Hallie, who's very kind, skillful, and accommodating. She has excellent memories of what I like and don't like, making each appointment pleasant and successful. I have been waiting for some dental work to be done by Dr. Rodgers before I write a review. Now is the time! I used to think that Dr. Rodgers was a person of no-nonsense. Every time he would quickly check my teeth, recommended what needs to be done, and then hurried into another patient's room. However, I found out from the recent experience that he is actually very kind and compassionate, and is also very respectful of my choices. The dental work was pretty "complicated", which involved removal of an old crown that was done by another dental practice years ago, but it was not done right back then, and he detected decay developed inside. He would then install two new crowns, one to the adjacent tooth that was prepared by another practice a long time ago. There was an old filling to be replaced as well. I called Dr. Rodgers' office with questions, one of his receptionists, Dianka, is always very nice and helpful, she had Dr. Rodgers call me back after his appointments. He called me back and spent 15 minutes patiently answering all my questions and explaining everything that needed to be done. I was impressed. The dental work involved 3 appointments, with the second appointment being the main one and was the longest, like 2 to 3 hours long, with breaks. Dr. Rodger's assistant, Erika, was very kind and professional too. Dr, Rodger was(is) very skillful, professional, and kind, and actually checked on me several times to make sure that I was doing fine and comfortable. His chair-side manners were just excellent. Although dental work is no fun to be sure, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I could even eat an hour later! The most important thing is, the crowns look so good and natural that even my husband and daughter could not tell which ones were crowns. They both guessed the canine. No, that was wrong. I am so happy with the results! I will not hesitate to see Dr. Rodgers and his team for future dental work. Next time, I will not be losing any sleep before the appointments, as I know that I am in good hands!

I always felt at ease at this practice. Dr. Rodgers is the only dentist there and he is the owner. He has a great team of hygienists, who are all very friendly and professional. My hygienist is always very prompt, thorough, and makes sure that I leave the clinic with a shiny smile. Whenever Dr. Rodgers checked on my teeth, he has been very professional and informative. I felt fortunate every time he (and my previous dentists) marveled at me still having all 32 teeth without any cavities. About a year ago, I accidentally bit very hard on a bone and one of my lower front teeth became loose, which I could wiggle it with my fingers. I thought the tooth would come off and I went to see Dr. Rodgers on an emergency basis. Surprisingly, he told me not to worry about it after checking on the tooth. He is right - a year later, my tooth still sits tightly in its socket and is now back to normal. I like the overall experience at Northbrook Dental Care, and highly recommend it.

Seriously, is there anything more terrifying than dental work? Lying on your back, while metal…read moreimplements are scraping/pulling your teeth? Since I was informed I needed a tooth pulled, I had an impending sense of doom. I'm proud of how quickly I scheduled the consultation (due to the end of the Flex Spending deadline). In advance of my appointment, my dentist sent the xrays to Dr Jacob's office and I both dreaded that they would pull my tooth that day, or that I would have to return to have it done. My primary care physician also recommended Dr. Jacobs. When I arrived at the office, it was the most glamorous dental office I'd ever seen. There was a separate room to fill out paperwork. There was a separate waiting room with a large TV. They didn't shove anything into my mouth to take xrays -- the camera flew around me like a 360 degree photo booth. They told me that they would pull the tooth that day -- was I more terrified or more relieved? Dr Jacobs was very caring and supportive when I told him I was quite nervous. He was very patient and explained each step that would happen. The worst, of course, was the injection of novocaine. However, as he said, it took no longer than 10 minutes to extract the tooth. The staff was very detailed with the after care. They called me when I returned home and Dr Jacobs called me later that evening to check on me. While I hope I never see Dr Jacobs ever again, chances are that my teeth will let me down sometime in the future. At least I know what to expect, and Dr Jacobs and his practice are the very best.

Our ortho thought Dr. Mark Jacobs would be a good fit for what she needed done and her "high maintenance" personality. I liked that he was an anesthesiologist before an oral surgeon since I assumed we would have to knock her out for the procedure. We were able to get in for a consultant within a week and the procedure a week later. The building itself is pretty old and I feared the elevator was going to break down on us, but the office itself is beautiful and not what you'd expect in this older building. During the consultation Dr. Jacob and his lovely staff put us both at least. They were very clear on what the procedure would entail and how to make it as pain free as possible. He gave us a few options for pain management and she chose a drink that would put her to sleep. They even asked what flavor she likes and she asked if they had any shirley temples. No such luck, but lots of fruit juices to choose from. The day of the procedure I expected to have to drag her into the office, but she went willingly since the consultation was so smooth. The hardest part was that she really didn't like the taste of the drink, but they were very patient as she took forever to gag it down. From there it the procedure itself was easy. She was drowsy and cranky the rest of the day, but it went way better than I expected. Today she had a quick follow-up (one week later) and was told she can resume eating whatever she wanted. Hooray! Everyone in the office was lovely once again and I will go back to them for any future oral surgeon needs (ex: wisdom teeth) for my family, but hopefully we don't have too many.

I walked into the beautifully decorated office and was greeted by a friendly receptionist. To my surprise as I was escorted to my chair, I noticed open air-styled areas for procedures. Everything was spotless with modern equipment and a monitor to discuss the procedure. I could actually compare his work with that of my former dentist and could see for myself his work was far superior. Dr.Pena assured me I would not experience pain and he was right. His patience exceeded expectations as well as the quality of his work. I highly recommend Dr. Pena to anyone seeking a dentist.
