    I recently visited the Elgin location and had the pleasure of working with Natalie. She was very…read morethorough and so kind to my child. In addition to Natalie, Bertha too was so helpful with explaining the insurance aspect of our visit. Highly recommend

    We've been bringing our 3 kids here since we moved here 2.5 years ago and we're finally done. We…read morecannot stand this place. They are the rudest, most condescending dental office I have ever visited. They try their hardest to separate parents from the children so that parents don't know what's going on during appointments. If you ask questions they make you feel stupid and talk down to you. They tell you that you have to use their "lingo" in the office and now make you sign a paper agreeing to it! For example, If you say "pulled" tooth or ask questions about the procedure their eyes get big and they get visibly angry. On one of our visits the dentist finished the exam and then casually said, "we're going to send that tooth to the tooth fairy." I was a bit taken back and said, "I'm sorry, does that mean you think you need to pull this tooth?" And he snapped at me and said, "what do you THINK that means?!" I have never, ever been treated like this by a dentist before and after 2.5 years of dealing with interactions like this by their entire staff, we've had enough and don't trust any of their recommendations. Definitely go elsewhere!

    Miss Ashley the hygienist is absolutely amazing. She makes my daughter feel so comfortable during…read moreher appointments and makes going to the dentist fun for the kids! She knows how to connect with her patients and really tailors her visits to the individual kid by mentioning things she can tell they like. For example, she noticed my daughter's paw patrol shoes and started talking about paw patrol with my daughter! She eases any hesitation the kids have with her pleasant ton and personality! She has a very special way of working with kids. She is amazing. I am so fortunate to have found such a wonderful person who makes my daughter smile and laugh throughout her appointments. Dr. Lin the dentist is amazing as well! At my daughter's very first dentist visit she was really worried which Dr. Lin could sense. He left the room and came back with a special balloon for her which instantly made her feel more comfortable. He has a kind and gentle demeanor that makes kids and parents feel comfortable. Unlike other pediatric dentists offices, this office allows the parents back in the exam/cleaning room with the children which was important to me. This office is wonderful in so many ways. I have been very impressed and will recommend this office!

    I was referred here by a general dentist when my kids (under 5) were too afraid to open their…read moremouths. They worked miracles on helping my kids get over their fears! Another great quality is that they are very open and upfront about costs and what your insurance (or dental discount plan) will and will not cover. That takes a huge stress off trying to manage the health and finances of your family. They are very kid friendly, but also very professional. It's been 5 years now and even with all the cavities my kids have had they do not fear the dentist. From the receptionists to the dentists everyone is kind and friendly. I also love that they've never once scolded my kids for being a kid. They will ask them to stop misbehaving if I'm concentrating on the billing or speaking with the dentist, but it's never said as a way to shame the child or the parent and to me this kind of positive influence from professionals is essential.
