Dr. Ehrlich is the kindest most caring dentist I could ever imagine. Multiple times he has helped both my wife and I after hours with dental issues. We even have started to bring our kids to him. He will never push unnecessary procedures. You can have full faith with Dr. Ehrlich that your teeth will be well taken care of. read more

I wanted to update my review as Dr. Ehrlich has been my dentist since 2016, and now my husband comes here as well. He is still fantastic and his staff is lovely. My favorite hygienist moved away but his newer one is also really caring, gentle, and friendly. The receptionist and assistants are also so nice and easy to work with. I previously always hated going to the dentist but in the past 8 years I have been in really good hands and my dental anxiety is pretty much zero. With all the corporate places popping up I truly believe Dr. Ehrlich's office is a great alternative to those that only have profit in mind. He makes sure he is only doing the work that is right for you, not what will let him bill the most to your insurance. read more

I found Dr Ehrlich on a list of recommended dentists for DePaul Students. I've been coming here for several years for routine dental care & cleanings. The front office staff is friendly & great with billing my dental insurance. Aimee, my hygienist is personable and efficient. Dr Ehrlich is caring & thorough, I feel he actually cares about my dental health and me. His presence is calming to any anxiety I have about coming to the dentist. I never dread coming here - that says a lot. I'm so happy I found this office. Easy street parking. Walking distance from Belmont Red. And Oberweiss Icecream is on the next block Corner. I typically celebrate a great check up & clean teeth with ice cream! Life is short- celebrate the little things - like healthy teeth! read more

Dr. Ehrlich is great! He is very gentle and personable. He is attentive and has great bedside manner. He really cares about the patient as well. Since I no longer have dental insurance but I still consult him when I need any opinions. I highly recommend Dr. Ehrlich. read more

Yesterday Dr. Ehrlich performed a long, complicated dental procedure on me. He did it with his usual outstanding skill, patience, and kindness. He kept me informed all along the way making me feel relaxed and confident. He is the best. read more

I recently moved to Chicago and found Dr. Ehrlich here on Yelp. I have to say, I'm very impressed by everyone in the office, the staff is amazing and Dr Ehrlich is very nice! I love his honesty and work ethics... He originally told me I needed a crown and when he started the procedure he stopped and said: "I have to be honest, I don't think you need a crown, the X-Rays were deceiving''... Then he said "If this was my tooth, I would avoid the crown" - So he just filled the cavity! I only paid a fraction of what I would have paid for the crown. YAY! I'm so used to people always trying to nickel and dimed you on everything... But not Dr Ehrlich! I'm blown away! I'll definitely recommend him to anyone! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Ehrlich and his staff. Robyn is always welcoming and friendly when you check in. Aimee the hygienist is amazing with my two year old daughter. She really made her feel comfortable and alleviated any fears during her first cleaning. Dr. Ehrlich is very wonderful and patient with my daughter as well. He really has a great approach! The office is very clean and they use state of the art technology! We are so happy to have found this practice! read more

Today was my first visit to Dr. Ehrlich's office, and it was not the type of appointment I look forward to given how nervous dentists make me. To my surprise, it was a probably the most ideal dental experience I could have imagined. First off, he has Sunday hours every other week and his office is in a convenient location for me. His office has all new equipment, including a chair that he swivels so that you can conveniently watch TV while he cleans your teeth! He took a thorough patient interview and reviewed all my X-rays with me since it was my first visit. During my cleaning, he checked in with me and made sure I was comfortable. After my cleaning, he explained everything in great detail and talked over issues I was having with tooth sensitivity and problems with past orthodontal work. When it came to billing, he offered up estimated costs for my next visits and talked through my options. Lastly, he even made nice small talk with my boyfriend who was waiting for me. Overall, you could tell how seriously he takes his job, and that definitely made me more comfortable in his chair. The one negative about the appointment was that he found a cavity. That's hardly his fault! read more

Dr. Ehrlich is very nice and extremely sensitive if you have any dental anxiety. The hygenist is SERIOUS BUSINESS. She's really nice but she meant business and was super disappointed in me. I felt like my mom was disciplining me as a child. It did make me shape up though and then she apologized for being so stern! :) They have tvs so you can watch something while all this is going on. I think watching Cheaters while getting my teeth cleaned was probably my best dental experience ever. I like that you get scheduled reminders via text! NOTE: If it's rainy or snowy, they may ask you to take your shoes off and wear some crocs they have on hand for the cleanliness of the office. It was fine with me but I wasn't wearing socks and felt a little weird. Good to know ahead of time. read more

If i could only give more stars! My husband and I have struggled with finding the right dentist for a very long time. We have tried multiple dental offices and we were always amazed by the lack of professionalism, clinical skills, ethics and transparency. We were loosing faith until we found Dr. Ehrlich. I cannot say enough how happy I am with the office. Belen at the front desk was welcoming and kind, she knew we were waiting for a cancellation to be seen sooner and she called us to make sure we were offered a sooner appointment once it was available. Amy the dental hygienists was one of the best I have encountered, soft hands, knowledgeable and very attentive and then is Dr. Ehrlich! Professional, honest and super kind. I like that he is serious but friendly enough for a small chat. The whole team made us feel welcomed. Their prices are fair and transparent and they truly care about the oral health of their patients and not the patient's wallet. I cant believe I am writing such a long review but they are a treasure and if I can help another human being to avoid all the pain I have endured with other dentist then it's worth it! read more

I can't say enough good things about this practice! Dr. Ehrlich and his staff are absolutely incredible. I've been a patient for a year and after slacking on dental visits for a long time, I needed some extensive fillings when I first started going to Dr. Ehrlich. First of all, I was given an estimate of what the work would cost once the Dr. recommended it. That was awesome, especially since I had to come in for four different visits. Second of all, during this work I was having some issues with pain management and Dr. E went an extra dozen miles to make sure I was comfortable. He is incredibly patient and he is great at explaining everything related to your dental health. Super nice guy, too. Robin manages the office and it really thorough and organized. She runs an awesome appointment system that includes followups by phone, email and TEXT MESSAGE. It's so helpful, especially for cleanings scheduled 6 months apart. Melissa is the hygienist I've seen most frequently. She's kind and personable and super smart. If you've ever had a sketchy dentistry experience, there are no worries here- the place is spotless. Immaculate even. I know I'm gushing, but the last thing I want to get in here is that because the practice is nice and small everyone remembers you and I think the last time I had a personal experience like that in any kind of health care I was seeing my pediatrician! read more

8 years later and I'd give the same great rating!. I no longer live near the office, yet I travel back to the area for appointments because of the great level of care and service provided each and every visit. Even during this Covid environment. Dr. Ehrlich, Aimee and the entire team run a great practice! read more

Professional,compassionate,caring. You will; not find another professional like Dr. Ehrlich. His office is very organized,experienced staff. He will explain all procedure in detail and will take the time to answer any questions that you may have. You will never feel rushed. He is very good to make you feel comfortable and at ease and is very aware of how you are. He personally called me the next day after a procedure to see how I was. This is a true mark of a caring professional. He is definitely worth the travel time to see him. You will not be disappointed. read more

Dr. Ehrlich and his staff are incredibly nice. They are friendly, informative, and accommodating. The office is comfortable and hygienic, and I was never pressured into unnecessary services, like some dentist experiences I've had in Chicago. I just moved away from Chicago and hope I can find as great a dentist in New York! read more

Can't do better than this place. Located conveniently to buses and train, very clean and modern facility with up-to-date equipment, cordial desk staff, great hygienist, and Dr. Ehrlich is very caring and competent. His exam is thorough and he is skilled at every procedure and explains everything very clearly. He's a nice guy too! I have sent several people here and they express gratitude to me for helping them find a great dentist. Highly recommended. read more

Worst experience ever. Go this dentist if you are never late and want zero flexibility. The first time I visited I was less than five minutes late for the appointment as it took a bit of time to find street parking near the clinic. They called right at the scheduled time to ask where I was. Fine. I entered the clinic and the receptionist was visible agitated. After waiting in the reception area for longer than five minutes, I was taken in for the cleaning. The actual cleaning went well--Melissa, the hygenist is the only positive at this office. Then, at the end of the appointment, when the dentist arrived to do a short exam and assessment, he proceeded to lecture me about being late, going on about how they value their time and would appreciate it if I'm punctual in the future. Seriously? I was less than five minutes late. Fast forward six months. I decided to give the clinic one more chance and scheduled a follow up appointment. Something came up at work with a client and I needed to leave town immediately, which meant rescheduling the appointment. I called the clinic before the appointment and explained the situation, asking politely to reschedule. I was rudely told that I would be charged a $50 fee and again they were very upset. We have paid the fee and moved on. Reading the other reviews, it appears I am not the only one with this experience. I am usually very punctual and hardly ever miss appointments. This clinic seem to think their time is VERY valuable; clearly more so than that of their patients. TIP: Loosen up--there are many other great dental clinics in Chicago, and customer retention is key in any business. read more

I was pleased with Ehlich Dental and the services that they provided. I will not be returning because they sent my account to a collection agent over a $10 late fee that was applied to my account while we were waiting for my wife's flex spending account to reimburse us. I would have taken care of it at my next visit, but they didn't even give me a call prior to sending the notice. It has left an extremely bad taste in my mouth, so I will be searching for a new dentist. read more

Recommend going else where. There are lots of dentist around this area. I missed my appointment. It was the day after Thanksgiving. I was wrong for that. This was the first time I missed. I tried to work with them. They wouldn't have it. All they wanted was the fee. They did not even care if I rescheduled, all they said is that they would send we to collections if I did not pay before the due date. Pretty easy decision, paid the bill and went else where. I would do the same. There are much friendlier dentist in Chicago. read more

I went to this dentist because he had good reviews on Yelp, but honestly am regretting the decision. He told me that I had a cavity and coincidentally had time to do the filling right away because of last minute cancellations, which I fell for because it was so convenient and wanted to get everything taken care of right away. A month later, I needed to get a root canal on that same tooth that he filled because of all the irritation - even though the tooth was completely fine before he filled it. I would be very wary if he tries to make you any impulsive decision! In all honesty, I wish I just went elsewhere. read more

If I had to physically make a dentist, staff and office it would be pretty much this place. Dr. Ehrlich is awesome. I've had cleanings, checkups, crown replacement and a broken tooth repaired here. Dr. Ehrlich is very gentle, nice, super personable, patient, competent...everything you want in a dentist, it's all right here. Staff are also real nice and professional. Super clean, brand new state of the art facility, equipment and technology. read more

The office was nice and the schedulers were great. I also liked the hygienist even though she messed up my bonding. I told her my front 2 teeth were bonded because I had a small chip in the right tooth, and she still flossed between those teeth and broke the bond. Luckily the part covering the chip is still in tact. My dentist at home warned me to not let these big-city dentists take advantage of me. I have cavity-prone teeth due to the shaping, and at home I never had more than 2 cavities a year. I went to Dr. Elrich for my yearly visit and he told me I had NINE cavities. I couldn't believe it, but I didn't want them to get worse and turn into root canals, so I trusted him. I had to come in twice to get them filled, which is fine, but on my first session he was working on the bottom left side of my mouth. He purposefully hit my nerve bunching in my jaw to make my entire mouth numb, which I have never had happen before. It was one of the worst pains I have ever felt. He didn't tell me he was going to do that before he did because he knew I would get anxiety. My dentist at home never needed to do that and my mouth was always numb. It was so painful I screamed, but you cant move because they have a 6 inch needle in your mouth. I told him on the next visit to not do that because of the pain and he asked me if "I was sure" because it fully numbs the mouth and the injection in the cheek may not be as effective. That obviously gave me anxiety that he was going to be drilling and I would feel pain. On top of all of this, when he was filling one of my cavities and he wouldn't take a break for me to breathe and I kept having to raise my hand. Please send me any good dentist recommendations. read more

I have been Dr. Ehrlich's patient for almost 6 months now and could not ask for a better dentist and staff. I had not been to the dentist in years and from the first visit onward everything was explained to me from the procedure to the billing. My last visit I had my crown fitted, and Dr. Ehrlich got done so quickly that he started working on my next procedure . Anyone that can make a dentist visit painless and worry free is okay by me! read more

I've been visiting Dr. Ehrlich for several years now, and it's been an overall positive experience. He really cares about his patients and it shows. When you go in for a check-up or even a procedure, you'll notice that he has TV's mounted to the ceiling so you can watch while you get your teeth cleaned. Pretty cool, right? Going to the dentist isn't always a pleasant experience, but being able to watch TV definitely helps. In my several years of visiting Dr. Ehrlich, he's always treated me professionally and with care. I've recommended several of my friends and coworkers to his practice and all have had a good experience. The wait does tend to be long, so if you're needing a new dentist ASAP, this might not work, but if you can get your name in and are okay waiting a few months, Dr. Ehrlich is one of the best. read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in three years due to making too much for a sliding scale place but not enough to afford dental. I finally have dental and was so nervous at the state my teeth were in. I have NEVER seen my teeth this clean just after one cleaning the environment was super clean and everyone was so friendly. They even had a tv on the ceiling so I could watch tv to distract from all the digging and sonics that happen with cleaning. Everything was super reasonable. Not at all the nightmare pricing I was expecting. I can't boast enough about them so much. I can actually not be afraid to smile. I'm so happy! read more

It is clear that Dr. Ehrlich and his staff take tremendous pride in their work. Besides doing a great job on my teeth, they are knowledgable, professional, and never too busy to answer all of my questions. It is reassuring to be in a facility that is state-of-the-art and yet still emanates a feeling of comfort and calm. I have been a client for just over a year, following a very disappointing visit to a practice for which I had purchased a coupon. (It closed soon after. Shocking.) The hours at Dr. Ehrlich's I also find very reasonable. Lastly, it speaks volumes that his practice utilizes media to work with clients (website, paypal, email reminders). Keep it up. read more

I visit this office and my diamond earring came up missing .....Will never ever return who wants to get robbed in an reclined position

I have been a patient of Dr. Ehrlich's since I moved to Chicago. He and his staff are very professional and nice. Very up to date office and you can even pay your bill online! read more

I came in today for a cleaning and the staff did a great job as always. I've had fillings replaced, my teeth cleaned and other various services provided by Dr. Ehrlich and his staff. They are very professional, do a thorough job and are personable. I highly recommend his services. read more

I had a terrible experience with another dentist and so I went to Dr. Ehrlich for a second opinion. My only parameters were 1) covered by my insurance and 2) less than 2 blocks from the el. He fit both counts. Honestly, his staff is just amazing. I am with Melissa for my cleaning, and she is just so helpful and nice. She is amazingly thorough. I can not say enough positive things about her. Love. Dr. Ehrlich's office is amazing. I go twice a year for my cleanings (have been there 3 times now) and never am I upsold or talked into products or services I don't feel like I need. Thank you! read more

Let's just say I drive 20-30 minutes in rush hour from Bucktown up to Lakeview because Dr Ehrlich is so awesome. Been going here for over five years and love the level of personal care and sincere kindness I receive every time I go. read more

I visited Dr. Ehrlich because my tooth with a crown got a problem of inflammation. The receptionist is very polite, friendly and welcoming. Dr. Ehrlich checked my tooth very carefully and gave a detailed description of what cause my problem and the options available to solve it. He listened to my concerns very patiently. I will highly recommend Dr. Ehrlich to all of my friends and family. read more

I recently got an e-mail stated that my dental insurance, Delta Dental, is not reimbursing him enough for his services and he will not accept them anymore. Patient's with this insurance will have to pay out of pocket for the expenses and then hoped to be reimbursed, even though he is stating that they are not reimbursing him enough for his services... so how does this make sense for any patient pay and try and get reimbursed? Anyone with Delta Dental or cash patients, I would suggest not going here because he apparently is charging to much. He was a nice dentist - but he did fill more cavities in the 3 years I went to him them I have had in my whole life. I won't be going back. read more

I've had two check-ups here now, both were fantastic. Super nice and accommodating. They don't try to up sell you or fix problems that aren't really there. An honest dentist's office with a great staff can be hard to find, go with Dr. Ehlrich!! read more

Dr. Ehrlich provides excellent care, both in caring for teeth and in caring for patients. He has a fabulous "bed-side" (chair-side?) manner and is both thorough and pleasant, showing concern about one's life beyond just one's teeth (thus "care-ful" in both senses of the word). While "A Google User" 5 years ago might have had a misdiagnosed "cavity" (and who's to say the other dentist was right?), everybody makes a mistake at some point and in the last 4 years I've not heard a single complaint about Dr. Ehrlich (and many people that I know have gone to him during that time and continue to use his care). I intend to continue using Dr. Ehrlich without reservation and I will recommend him to anybody I meet who is new to Chicago and thus in need of a dentist. read more

I have been a patient at Dr. Ehrlich's office for a few years now. I have found their services to be very good, very professional and very prompt. My appointments have always started on time. I am in-and-out in an hour or less, without ever feeling rushed. Dr. Ehrlich and his staff are very caring and provide top notch service. TV next to the dental chair is a nice touch too. read more

I'm not one to usually complain, and I'm definitely not the type of person to would go out of their way to write a review after a poor experience; however, thanks to the office manager on Dr. Ehrlich's staff, I have took a moment out of my day to create a yelp profile just to write a review of my experience. First of all, if you must go to this office for dental care, do yourself a favor and request Melissa. She was the dental hygienist who did my x-rays and initial cleaning. She was amazing. I only met Dr. Ehrlich for a quick moment. He did seem to be a genuinely caring person, however he seemed preoccupied. My main issue with my experience at Dr. Ehrlich's office stems from when I was scheduling my follow up appointment before leaving. That's when my interaction with Robin began. She was on the phone, presumably scheduling another patient's appointment when I went to the counter. I was in no hurry to leave and was not at all bothered by the fact that she was on the phone, it was her actions that followed that caused a great deal of distress for me. Once Robin was off the phone Melissa attempted to explain to her what follow up procedures I needed to be scheduled for. Robin quickly cut off Melissa stating that she already knew. Robin then looked for available appointments for me, at which point she stated the earliest was two weeks out. I asked if that was for both procedures to be completed at the same time, to which she replied yes. I then stated that if I could get in earlier for one of the procedures, a night guard for my TMJ - which would only fit over my bottom four front teeth, I would prefer to do that first. She then stated that she could get me in this coming Tuesday at 4 p.m. I agreed, and she entered it into her computer and then wrote it on a scheduling card for me. I then waited for a second, thinking that we would schedule and appointment for my second procedure; lord, was I wrong. What followed was a back and forth conversation of Robin telling me that I could not do one procedure without doing the other at the same time and that I could not do both next Tuesday and so on and so on. My confusion, which I repeatedly stated, was why she had even scheduled an appointment for me the following Tuesday if she's now saying that I can't even go through with it. Then, in the middle of our discussion, Robin looks me straight in the eye and states "Do you have a problem with me? If you have a problem with me then you need to tell me now, because I'm starting to take this very personally." To say I was blown away at this point is the understatement of the century. We were discussing why I couldn't do one procedure with out the other and why she had even scheduled me for something that she is now telling me I can't do. At no point in this conversation were either of our voices raised, nor were any demeaning or derogatory comments or language used. She repeated the above statement several times whenever I simply stated that no, I did not have a problem. At that point, with being utterly disgusted with the way she was talking to me as well as the severe pain I was in, I told her to just schedule me for whatever would work, which turned out to be the appointment two weeks out. I then immediately left, utterly disgusted. I could not believe that this woman had just spoken to me in such an accusatory manner, which was entirely unfounded and unjustified. Based on her interpretation of "customer service" I will never set another foot in that office. Hopefully, her attitude and actions do not continue to hurt Dr. Ehrlich's business. read more

Great experience every time! Nice to have the online features.

I always get the highest level of customer service when I go there. Dr. Ehrlich is always happy to explain procedures, answer questions, and make sure you are comfortable. His staff is always friendly and helpful, and makes each visit an enjoyable one. I never have to wait for my appointments, and they are always quick and efficient. The office is clean, modern, and easy to find (right by the Belmont L stop too, so easy to get to via public transit). Even though I moved out of Lakeview, I'm happy to keep coming back to Dr. Ehrlich. Highly recommend Dr. Ehrlich if you're in need of a dentist! read more

Dr. Ehrlich and his staff are extremely friendly and thorough. This didn't stop at the water's edge - from the time I signed up for an appointment to and after my visit, each member of the staff offered great customer service and patient care. My hygienist, Amy, was not only great at her job, but very funny and engaging. Robin at the front desk answered my questions and was helpful in getting all my paperwork properly submitted. Dr. Ehrlich has a great "bedside" manner and gave me a thorough breakdown of what he'd like me to do to make my dental health even better. If you want a dental team that is focused on its patients, look no further! read more

Dr. Ehrlich and his staff are wonderful. They are knowledgable, professional, and friendly. I have been seeing them for a few years for routine dental cleanings and exams but have recently been taking my son for check-ups too. He has had to get a few fillings for cavities and the staff were great working with a squirmy 5 year old. He has to go back again for a few more fillings and he is not nervous or scared about returning which is probably rare for a child in terms of wanting to visit the dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Ehrlich for both adults and children. read more
