I have such admiration and respect for Dr. Friedstat and his staff that it will be impossible to…read moreconvey the depth of my sincerity. Without going into the medical history that led to my nephew's life in constant pain, his nearly 20 surgeries, and his inability to continue to work as a firefighter- after only a year on the job of his dreams, he was now faced with serious and life threatening dental problems resulting from the potent drugs administered throughout his teens. There would need to be fillings, crowns, and numerous extractions. There would need to be hours of work performed on a patient in a compromised state of health, and it would be extremely costly. His doctors at the University of Chicago suggested he apply to Dental Lifeline, a network of compassionate and humane dentists and laboratories that volunteer to treat people with permanent disabilities who lack the income to pay for the urgent dental care they desperately need. After waiting and hoping for a response, our prayers were answered. Dr. Friedstat volunteered to help us and give Rob a real chance to smile- and eat normally again. The moment we stepped in that office, Joy welcomed us with genuine warmth and concern. She made Rob extremely comfortable and let us know we were in good hands. The first moments are so critical when you enter a doctor's office; we were immediately comforted and put at ease. We never felt like we were a burden, in fact, the staff seemed so motivated to help correct the problems that we were immediately filled with a great sense of relief and HOPE! Dr. Friedstat not only thoroughly examined and analyzed Rob's dental problems, but he spoke at length about the many health complications brought on by his years of battling Crohn's disease. He was interested in the treatments and the pain management issues Rob endured, and though this was part of his diligent work as a professional, he discussed things with the heart of a father. He is so intelligent and so confident that it inspired both Rob and I, and we felt lucky to have him as our dentist. It has been several months of appointments- some lasting 2 hours or more- and Dr. Friedstat was even able to save some of the teeth that other dentists warned would require extraction. His gums are healed and his last crown fitted, and he has been measured for partial dentures. All this work was done without complication, without pain, and by the hands of a skilled and experienced doctor. Finally, I write this to anyone looking for a dentist that they can trust to do expert, thorough, and incredibly skilled work- without fear or pain. I boldly and confidently recommend Dr. Friedstat, who not only offers those essential qualities, but with a huge and generous heart, he also offered a lifeline to someone in need. Linda Johnson

TL;DR: The new ownership kept the practice name and patient data, but entirely voided warranties on…read moreprevious dental work. They charge exorbitant, out-of-network prices and operate with a strict profit-first mentality. Save your money and go elsewhere. I am sharing my experience to warn both returning and prospective patients about the current business practices at Stephens Dentistry. Four years ago, I had a crown placed at this office for almost $2000. Recently, the crown prematurely cracked and failed. When I contacted the office to have it addressed, I was informed that because the practice is under "new ownership," any previous warranty is completely void. They strategically kept the practice's established name, reputation, and all patient records (down to using the same email address!) to maintain business continuity, but legally shielded themselves from any accountability or warranties on previous dental work. Their idea of a "goodwill gesture" was a mere 10% discount on a replacement crown, bringing the cost to over $1,800. This is absolutely exorbitant and roughly twice the price of what other dentists in the Evanston area charge for equivalent or better work. When you pay top dollar for dental work, you expect exceptional quality and accountability for their work, but Stephens Dentistry offers neither. To anticipate the practice's likely response to this review: in addition to bluntly stating they voided all past liabilities due to the ownership change, they will probably also claim they cannot honor the warranty because I haven't been back for regular cleanings at their specific practice over the last four years. I have maintained my dental hygiene, just not with them. Why? Because Stephens Dentistry is out-of-network for basically all insurances and outrageously expensive. The previous management once admitted to me their fees were intentionally set at the 85th percentile of local practices, and it is abundantly clear the new ownership operates with the exact same "cash cow" mindset. In a university town like Evanston, operating with such an unscrupulous, profit-first mentality is deeply disappointing. If you are a long-term patient, be aware that your past warranties mean absolutely nothing to the new owners. If you are a new patient, be prepared for highly inflated pricing. I have decided to take my business elsewhere and strongly advise others to do the same.
