A long ago experience with a less than ethical provider created a long follow up history, with lots of intrepidation, on my part. Dr. Joseph is not only highly skilled, but genuinely interested in my comfort as a patient. He's always been straight forward, and I consider him fair, and highly ethical in his practice. His work even received multiple compliments from the fancy orthodontist I consulted years ago! (Apparently the not-fancy former location of Dr. Joseph's practice created some assumptions on his part...) The current location and suite is very nice and accessible, with huge windows that allow me to look at the beautiful sky while reclining! Dr. Joseph and staff make me think I'm in dental heaven. ;)

Concern Regarding My Appointment Experience on July 28…read more Dear Full Smile Family Dentist Team, I am writing to share my concerns regarding my appointment at your office today, July 28, 2025, at 12:30 PM, at your location on 3939 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago. When I scheduled the appointment last week, I provided my insurance information over the phone to the receptionist, who confirmed that everything was in order. However, upon checking in today, I was asked again for my insurance details by a staff member wearing pink or light pink scrubs and a ponytail. After a short wait, I was informed that I had an outstanding balance--something I was completely unaware of. When I explained that I was not informed of this balance prior to my visit, I was asked multiple times if I could pay it--first the full amount and then at least half. I clearly stated both times that I was unable to pay it today. I found it unprofessional to be asked repeatedly after already providing my response. After that exchange, the staff member became visibly frustrated and began attending to other tasks, leaving me uncertain about whether I was still going to be seen. I left the office feeling confused and disappointed by the lack of communication and courtesy. I would appreciate clarification regarding the balance you mentioned, and I'd like to understand your office's policy on informing patients about outstanding charges before their scheduled visit. I hope that steps can be taken to improve communication and professionalism in the future.

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.

Be cautious when booking with this office through OpenCare…read more I scheduled only for a basic cleaning, but when I arrived, they told me I "needed" four teeth pulled. They also tried to use up all of my insurance coverage and still charge me additional out of pocket. The office itself was empty -- no other patients besides me -- which raised red flags. After getting a second opinion, I was told I didn't need any teeth pulled and that the supposed "cavities" they pointed out weren't real issues at all. This experience felt misleading and money-driven, not patient-focused. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel others should be warned before trusting this place.
