None of my previous dentists ever mentioned this. 2. Didn't fully remove one of them causing multiple infections and extreme pain. And I still do not have feeling in part of my lip months later. 3. Went in due to problems and they basically forced me to do another procedure on the spot with local anesthetic and said I had to pay another $900 for it! On top of all that, the office manager, Nineva, was very dismissive and unempathetic. I wouldn't wish the past month of nightmares and pain on my worst enemy. The worst thing is I feel like all of this was probably avoidable. On the bright side, one of the dentists there, Jason Brenner, was very nice and did what he could for me. The oral surgeon was also professional in attitude, though I'm wary of his skills.

RE: $2,000 for deep cleaning and rude & unprofessional manner…read more A sad note for Dr. Ronald Picchetti! Do you know your front desk persons and billing dept completely ruin your business? I was charged almost $2,000 cash for a deep cleaning despite my dental and medical insurance are in good standing, and you are a in-network dentist. I was a new patient. A month before my deep cleaning appointment, I asked the Philippina front desk to check for an 'Estimate of Benefits'. The Philippina promised to do so. When I was in the office, I was surprised to be asked for an immediate payment of almost $ 1,700. I questioned for the high charge for deep cleaning. In the past, I paid out of pocket off around $850 for the same service. At the time of payment, the Philippina replied that the high cost was partly due to the antibacterial and laser used in the deep cleaning treatment. I was also told that the dental office will reimburse me any difference if I overpaid after the final insurance settlement. To add insult to my injury of the above lies, I received another bill for additional payment of $ 200 for the above services. This dental office wants me to pay close to $2,000 for a deep cleaning. It turns out the front desk did not ask for an 'Estimate of Benefits'. When I protested the charges, I was given the run-arounds. The last 2 times I called the dental offices, my phone calls were picked up but not answered. I could hear the background noise without anyone to talk to me. The way they treat the patients are very rude and unprofessional!

I have Aetna DMO (which is a HORRIBLE plan because it seems that only really sketchy dentists…read moreaccept that type of insurance around Chicago) and had a horrible(!) experience at another dentist in Skokie. After that, I got a recommendation from a friend (whose father and father-in-law were both dentists) to check out Dr. Dave McWhinnie at Smiles of Skokie. I am so glad that I went here. The office staff and hygienists were all super friendly. After visiting way too many sketchy dentist offices in strip malls around Chicago, their office and facilities were a breath of fresh air. New equipment, bright exam rooms and nice decorations. Dr. Dave is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and really does talk you through each step of the exam and appointment. He wants to make sure you don't feel any pain at all. I had one dentist who attempted to numb me with anesthetic 3 different times, and I could still feel the drill. Dr. Dave did it once and I was good and numb in no time - didn't feel a thing. Finding a dentist you like and trust is incredibly difficult, I think. But I can assure you that if you go and check out Dr. Dave at Smiles of Skokie - your search will be over. Hope your experience is as good as mine was.

Affinity Smiles has changed my perspective and reduced my dentist anxiety …read more During my first appointment, I was nervous because of bad experiences with previous dentists. However, I'm happy to say that coming here has made my appointments less stressful and enjoyable! The waiting room is cozy, well-cleaned, and the environment is calm. James was the first person I interacted with--he was helpful and welcoming. We had a brief discussion of anime, tattoos, and other random topics . I believe he decorated the waiting area this month, which made it even cozier and a perfect fit for the spooky season ! I met with Iskho, who is incredible! Iskho is sweet, informative, and funny. During my appointment, he was gentle with my teeth and would describe to me what he saw and would discuss methods on how to improve. We exchanged anime suggestions and tattoos, which made my appointment fun. Dr. Raina is amazing. She was very welcoming and kind during our first interaction, and took notes on my past dental history. She understood my uneasiness and treated me with patience and care. Similar to Iskho, she would describe to me what issues I had and how we could resolve them. I would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Raina, Iskho, and James. You've made going to the dentist a stress-free and even enjoyable experience! I look forward to my dentist appointments instead of dreading them months in advance, so thank you, Dr. Raina, Iskho, and James. You all are the best .
