They offer same-day service, meaning consultation and surgery can be done all in one day, but I chose to meet with the surgeon first and schedule the procedure for a later date. Before and after the surgery, they provided clear instructions and helpful tips for recovering from having three wisdom teeth removed. I really appreciated how professional and straightforward they were--they double check your insurance and let you know upfront if you'll have any out-of-pocket costs, which was awesome. I highly recommend them. They're efficient, professional, and truly mean business.

They were very, very patient with me, but I was not very patient with them during the procedure. I appreciate their competence, knowledge, expertise, and willingness to answer my many questions. I had two implants before under their care, and I felt relieved and comfortable knowing that they were the ones taking care of me for this latest tooth issue. I trust Dr. Jamali's surgical skill and like that he tells me what he is doing during the procedure. He and Raoul went out of their way to accommodate my anxiety. I am truly grateful for their kindness throughout my visit.

While there were some slight hiccups during my first visit with wait time (I think it was a busy holiday season for them), the second checkup took less than an hour max including wait time and the physical doctor visit. The waiting room is clean, modern, and modest. They have a great bookshelf-full of magazines in case you don't want to exhaust the apps on your phone. Staff is efficient and down-to-business. The only real downside is the massive renovations going on outside. If you aren't a resident of Oak Park or have not visited before, currently there is a ton of construction which makes it difficult to park. I suggest parking in the public lot across the street (free for 2 hours) or have someone drop you off then pick you up.

AN INCONVENIENT TOOTH…read more Trying to make (and keep) an appointment with this Oak Park dentist is like pulling teeth, but more painful and prolonged. About a month ago, I called Dr Yee's office to schedule a general cleaning. They were close to where I used to live in Oak Park, were within my network, and had decent patient reviews. I showed up early for my appointment on 6/29/20 and noticed no other staff were in. According to him, one girl was out to lunch and the other had a car breakdown. Okay....... I had to wait until Dr Yee finished with a patient before he assumed his own secretarial duties and handed me a small stack of paperwork. These forms were pretty ghetto and clearly photocopied into oblivion; some of the text wasn't even legible so it's entirely possible I ticked the 'yes' box for "have you recently had a brain transplant?" On this first visit -- which also happens to be my last -- Dr Yee was running a one man show. He had to check everyone in/out, and as a result my appointment ran late. Everything was so disorganized, it immediately left a bad impression and we were only getting started. Things didn't improve once I was in the dentist's chair. At one point, he made small talk which quickly veered off the rails (he stated that my last name was "kinda weird" and asked if it got made fun of in school). What on earth?!?! What dark force possessed Dr Yee to ask a FIRST TIME PATIENT if they got bullied as a kid because their last name seemed unfamiliar to him?? Pick a different topic dude, like literally anything else. Those aren't exactly warm memories. The tooth cleaning itself was fine, practically the only thing that went off without too much of a hitch. He found a small crack in my upper right bicuspid and scheduled me to come back in 2 weeks for a filling. Now here's where things go from somewhat suspicious to what-the-flippity-f*ck: Dr Yee (once again, himself, not an assistant) leaves me a voicemail 24hrs before my follow-up and explicitly tells me not to come in because his staff were in absentia.....for the second time in as many weeks. This instance, one of them had a medical emergency, the other an undisclosed pet issue. And thus my appointment to repair a tooth was abruptly canceled, never rescheduled. His tone in that voicemail was very off-putting too, maybe it was the way he overemphasized the "DON'T" in "definitely don't come in tomorrow". Thankfully the crack in my bicuspid is so small, it's not noticeable unless I chomp down hard on a popcorn kernel. But what if it were a more urgent matter, like a cavity? Would Dr Yee's office try to accommodate me among all the other clients they've had to cancel on? Or would they drum up another excuse as to why they've been severely understaffed on multiple occasions? To paraphrase a great Jedi, "care to find out, I do not". * TL;DR * It's probably a good thing my wife and I fled Cook County for greener pastures in sprawling suburbia. Oak Park has its charms, but my luck with healthcare providers in the area was nothing short of horrible (a botched biopsy in 2014, now this dental debacle). I've heard some people go years without seeing a physician, and now I can understand their logic. Something strange seems to be happening with Dr Yee's staff on a deeper level--I've still yet to see any evidence they actually exist. For all I know, his "assistants" could be ghosts, aliases (Rusty Shackleford is that you???), or nocturnal mole people. Until proven otherwise, I'm going to assume that Dr James Yee DDS has zero office support and in fact does everything himself, all the time. From start to finish, my experience here was bad enough to keep me away from a dentist's chair until at least 2025. You can randomly cancel on me OR throw shade at my surname, but you can't. do. both. Dr Yee managed to accomplish this in the short time I knew him, a feat that's as impressive as it is upsetting. And I still have a cracked tooth.

This overall experience was awful…read more Parking around this place is a problem. Located on a Main Street near a railroad crossing means traffic congestion. If you're not familiar with the area, you should definitely leave early. I was slightly late due to this very issue. I was greeted warmly, but there seemed to be more questions about insurance. All insurance information had been taken care of. There was a continuous theme: money. They were already charging me for the x-ray but wanted my insurance so they could bill the insurance and reimburse me if the insurance covered it. The problem is, I would never know.......... The staff didn't seem knowledgeable or trustworthy. After paying for the cost of the 3D x-ray, she didn't verify my email address and sent my receipt to the wrong email address. I had to ask for an itemized bill because the receipt was only for the transaction and not what I paid for. The most interesting part, the visit only took 20 minutes total. Oh, and there was nothing wrong. The doctor and nurse practitioner seem fine. The doctor explained the issue but gave me nothing about what he explained. Did I mention, the expensive x-ray, they absolutely needed to diagnose my potential issue, I never saw it. I left feeling ripped off. I will never comeback here..........

My tooth looks better than it has in 20 years. She didn't just say - 'ok you're done.' She asked numerous times....'how does it feel? Do you like it? Is anything bothering you?' And when I was walking out she said - 'if anything feels odd just come back in and I'll touch it up for free. I stand by my work.' I'm so impressed with this office and Dr. Kouris. Everything is high-tech. All the latest technology and tools. My only sadness is that I didn't find them years ago. But, I have them now. Thank goodness! I can't stop smiling.
