Filled out their forms online right before appointment and I specifically said I wanted to get my teeth cleaned. The first thing they do was take a panoramic x-ray and then they tried to sell me on their $650 mouthguard, but I wasn't interested.. Then they said, you're all done and I said, what about the teeth cleaning? So she comes in and cleans my teeth for 10 minutes? Then they charge me $219 for the panoramic x-ray and $60 for the cleaning.. Obviously, I didn't need a panoramic x-ray to get my teeth cleaned and obviously I won't be going back to Zen Dental!!

Dr. Skale (the son) zeroed in on work I needed done. He viewed my x-rays with me in full color and 3D, right there in the room. (Their technology is cutting-edge.) In the x-ray he said several fillings in the same tooth needed replacing, but when he examined the actual tooth and saw nothing was loose he changed his mind. I was very impressed, as this showed he's ethical. I had a broken tooth that needed a crown, and Dr. Goodsy (spelling?) did the work. I LOVED her! She was professional, very kind, and made me feel so comfortable. (Dr. Skale does the more specialized work, which I didn't need.) Regarding the crown: Dr. Goodsy completed it right there in the office, no need for a temporary and having to come for another appt. This office is cutting edge, professional, and very kind. (I met Dr. Skale Sr, and he was so friendly with a fun sense of humor.) The office staff is very friendly and helpful. (Dr. Skale's daughter also works there and is very pleasant as well.) It's easy to communicate with this office, as their phone number works both for texts and phone calls. I'm delighted that I FINALLY found a dental office I trust, can feel comfortable at, takes insurance, and is easy to communicate with.

Since the end of the pandemic, I have been going to Northbrook Dental Care for hygiene…read moreappointments. My daughter and husband have been going there for many years before I did. Dr. Jay Rodgers is the owner, and he has a team of nice and skillful hygienists and technicians. I have been happy with my hygienist Hallie, who's very kind, skillful, and accommodating. She has excellent memories of what I like and don't like, making each appointment pleasant and successful. I have been waiting for some dental work to be done by Dr. Rodgers before I write a review. Now is the time! I used to think that Dr. Rodgers was a person of no-nonsense. Every time he would quickly check my teeth, recommended what needs to be done, and then hurried into another patient's room. However, I found out from the recent experience that he is actually very kind and compassionate, and is also very respectful of my choices. The dental work was pretty "complicated", which involved removal of an old crown that was done by another dental practice years ago, but it was not done right back then, and he detected decay developed inside. He would then install two new crowns, one to the adjacent tooth that was prepared by another practice a long time ago. There was an old filling to be replaced as well. I called Dr. Rodgers' office with questions, one of his receptionists, Dianka, is always very nice and helpful, she had Dr. Rodgers call me back after his appointments. He called me back and spent 15 minutes patiently answering all my questions and explaining everything that needed to be done. I was impressed. The dental work involved 3 appointments, with the second appointment being the main one and was the longest, like 2 to 3 hours long, with breaks. Dr. Rodger's assistant, Erika, was very kind and professional too. Dr, Rodger was(is) very skillful, professional, and kind, and actually checked on me several times to make sure that I was doing fine and comfortable. His chair-side manners were just excellent. Although dental work is no fun to be sure, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I could even eat an hour later! The most important thing is, the crowns look so good and natural that even my husband and daughter could not tell which ones were crowns. They both guessed the canine. No, that was wrong. I am so happy with the results! I will not hesitate to see Dr. Rodgers and his team for future dental work. Next time, I will not be losing any sleep before the appointments, as I know that I am in good hands!

I have been going to Northbrook Dental Care for hygiene appointments for many years now…read more Fortunately, that's the only service that I needed there. The place is clean and comfortable. I always felt at ease at this practice. Dr. Rodgers is the only dentist there and he is the owner. He has a great team of hygienists, who are all very friendly and professional. My hygienist is always very prompt, thorough, and makes sure that I leave the clinic with a shiny smile. Whenever Dr. Rodgers checked on my teeth, he has been very professional and informative. I felt fortunate every time he (and my previous dentists) marveled at me still having all 32 teeth without any cavities. About a year ago, I accidentally bit very hard on a bone and one of my lower front teeth became loose, which I could wiggle it with my fingers. I thought the tooth would come off and I went to see Dr. Rodgers on an emergency basis. Surprisingly, he told me not to worry about it after checking on the tooth. He is right - a year later, my tooth still sits tightly in its socket and is now back to normal. I like the overall experience at Northbrook Dental Care, and highly recommend it.

She charged for a comprehensive examination, but did a limited one. Before bringing my son to the office my wife asked the doctor explicitly not to do any examinations because it was done recently in another dental office. Dr. Pandya's administrative assistant reassured us that they can fix a tooth without a new client comprehensive examination. However, later Dr. Pandya claimed that she performed a comprehensive exam and charged us for it. We thought it was a mistake and brought it to Dr. Pandya's attention. She was very arrogant, defensive, and would not admit any mistakes. She told us to look for another doctor. I would not come to her again because I cannot trust her as a person (maybe she is a good dentist).

Another time, I switched insurance and my insurance covered two cleanings per year. My gosh the amount of times I called the dentist and my insurance back and forth for a cleaning.... I just saw other Yelp reviews today, but have been coming for cleanings past year or more. I do like Dr Alex Portnoy (sp?) and most of the dental staff. Dr Alex takes the time to explain everything in detail and I enjoy the conversations between the staff during cleanings. It's the worst when i can feel tension between coworkers. Dr Robert (Bob) the orthodontist- also nice, however I got aligners and the past 5 weeks have been a hell of a struggle for a new patient. I have been on Google searching for answers, tips for newbies and ways to help get through the pain.
