Exceptional dental care. Dr Brodala is thorough and compassionate in her care and patient relationships. A rare professional

Amazing doctor. As pain free as you can possibly be. She's got a wonderful bedside manner. Very kind! A gifted surgeon

Do not bother contacting Dr Brodala's office if you do not have dental insurance. My dentist advised that I needed a gum graft. Since I do not have insurance, I just wanted to have a consultation to get a quote for the procedure. Upon contacting the Skokie location, I explained my situation and asked how much a short visit would be just to get a quote for gum graft. They said $145-175 (just to get a quote). Seems ridiculous to charge that much to just in order to provide an estimate (I already have x-rays and just got a cleaning). I am aware that the gum grafting procedure itself will be much pricier (and have no problem with paying for that). But charging that much to give a quote? Insane. Stay away unless you have dental insurance. read more

Dr. Brodala (Dr. B) is absolutely phenomenal. For anyone who needs work done on their gums in the Chicago area, do not go anywhere else. Dr. B, first and foremost, is a top of the line surgeon, and takes a great deal of pride in her work. Not only was her work on my gums flawless, but the way she followed up to make sure I was healing properly, was impeccable. Her excellence extends way beyond her skill, as she is such a kind and warm person. It isn't super comfortable going into surgery (of any kind), but Dr. Brodala had the most sensitive way of making me feel secure and at ease. The first thing I look at when I meet someone is their smile. Choosing Dr. B was the best decision I could have made. She made my smile beautiful. You will not come across a more capable Periodontist. read more

I have never written a yelp review, but wanted to share my amazing experience with Dr. Nadine Brodala! I am not a fan of dental procedures and was dreading my tooth extraction. From the moment she entered the room I was comforted by her caring demeanor. She was compassionate and checked in frequently to make sure I was doing okay throughout the procedure. I felt very seen and valued, which put me at ease. After completing the procedure, she gave additional anesthetic to keep me comfortable longer, which was so kind. In my previous experiences with other Periodontists, they just want you comfortable while they are working on you. She personally called me the next day to check on me. WOW! Incredible experience (can't believe I'm saying this about a dental procedure) and highly recommended Dr. Brodala! read more

Dr. Brodala is an amazing doctor! She's great at her job and very caring. I recently had an extraction and an implant procedure and felt no pain and had no complications. She also takes the time to explain things, answer questions and to ask how you're doing during the procedure. Also, the prices at this place are pretty reasonable and the staff is also kind and responsive. I'd recommend this practice to anyone. I'd especially recommend Dr. Brodala! read more

My dentist Dr. Duda referred me to the skokie location because it seems I will be needing an implant. When I called to make my appointment I spoke to Connie, who was very rude and short with me. I had a few questions about insurance and cost and she simply was not willing to give me any information. How can you expect patients to come in for a consult without knowledge of cost? I'll find someone else that will show more appreciation for new patients. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I feel like I owe it to all of the patients out there who are intimidated by the thought of gum graft surgery. Dr. Brodala is incredible, the procedure was a breeze, my recovery was very quick, but most importantly her demeanor and sense of humor were A+ throughout the entire process which made it almost enjoyable. To provide context, I initially had a gum graft procedure done in 2018 by Millennium Periodontics. I requested that they use donor tissue to try and minimize the recovery time. Big mistake. The recovery process lasted a full month, during which I couldn't brush my teeth. At the end of the process I was told that they needed to re-do the procedure but that they wanted to take my own tissue to do it (which is what should have been done in the first place). I know I requested the donor tissue, but I wish they would have explained the benefits of using your own tissue before performing the surgery. Fast forward to 2020, as explained earlier Dr. Brodala made the whole process a breeze. The procedure last about an hour, I listened to music and felt no pain at all. I was able to brush my teeth after the first week (gently on the surgery side). The incision at the top of my mouth was 90% healed after 1 week as well. But most importantly, the gum graft was much more successful and I was eating normally after about 10 days. But just to provide one more anecdote... I had my procedure on a Friday and Dr. Brodala texted me on Saturday night to check how I was doing. Pretty great patient care. Can't say enough good things about her, thanks Dr. Brodala! read more

Dr. Brodala is polite, funny, smart, and makes you feel extremely comfortable every step of the way.

In early 2019, Dr. Brodala , on the recommendation of my dentist Dr. David Duda, performed an implant on me. I was instantly taken by her cheery personality and her confidence, the professionalism she displayed when explaining the procedure. She gives pain injections, like no other.... but today, in Oct. 2021, I came to her to extract a very abscessed molar. I was not at easy because years ago, I had a similar problem and the pain was breathtaking. Dr. Brodala instantly recognised me and when I explained my worry, she said smiling at me, this will not happen today! She put me instantly at ease. I received 4 pain injections, all of them I barely noticed, she was so super careful, not to hurt me. Any movement in my body, she instantly stopped, are you Ok"? She took this huge infected molar out and truly, it did not hurt. This petite young female person is truly one super gifted surgeons. I only can highly recommend her ! read more

The second I met Dr. Brodala I was immediately put at ease. She was friendly and comforting (and funny!), and explained everything very clearly from the beginning. Her knowledge and skill level was obviously well refined, but I was most impressed about was that although no one really wants to have a dental implant, it was- I know this sounds strange- a pleasant experience. That night she even called to check on me. I never had anyone do that before. Highly recommended. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Dr. B! read more

Doctor Brodala is an excellent surgical dentist, she's very professional, sincerely empathetic and ensures the patient's comfort, she's always cheerful. Dr. Brodala completed 1 out of 4 gum grafts on me, I'm going back to her so she can finish the last 3 (each graft requires its own visit). My college age daughter also went to Dr. Brodala and she was very happy with her visit and gives this dentist 5 stars. read more

I add my voice to all the praises for Dr. Brodala. From the last minute emergency visit to the follow up care, she was exceptional. Not just a skilled surgeon but compassionate, empathetic and kind. You could not ask for any better. And if you do, you won't find it. read more

I had gone to Dr Gorin for years as i thought he was the best. He told me when he retired that I would be very happy with Dr. Brodala and he was right. Thank you Dr. Gorin for the many times you helped me and thank you Dr. Brodala for your help. read more

I had an emergent extraction / bone graft with Dr. Nadine Brodala DDS, MS. (The bone graft is preparation for a future implant). Dr Brodala is highly educated / highly skilled and she put me at ease instantly. I experienced no post procedure swelling and did not need any of the prescribed pain meds. She was probably the kindest medical practitioner (physician or dentist) I have ever come in contact with. I truly was amazed at how pleasant she was. She also had a sense of humor. As I had the extraction on July 3rd, she then called on July 4th to see how I was doing. Who does that? read more

I went to Dr. Brodala (Nadine!) on my dentist's recommendation. I needed an implant. My dentist told me that I would love Dr. Brodala. - Boy, was she right! What a great experience! Did I just say that about an extraction / bone graft / implant? I did! The second you meet Dr. Brodala, you'll feel safe. She's amazingly calm, very funny, confident, gentle and isn't going to try to sell you something you don't need. She'll show you what she sees and then let you decide what to do. When it's pretty evident what needs to be done, she kinda apologizes as she reassures you -- she totally understands what your experience is. The procedures were about as pain-free as they get, considering what I had done. You're not going to find a sweeter, more competent periodontist, anywhere in Chicago . She has an office in Skokie too. Do yourself a favor and see Dr. Brodala if you have any issues with your gums or you need an implant. She is a find! read more

I went to see Dr. Brodala to begin implant therapy. She is kind, sweet, funny, professional and does excellent work! My surgery went perfectly, and she called me to follow up immediately after. When I had an unexpected allergic reaction to penicillin, she promptly called me in a new rx. The area has healed perfectly and I am not at all nervous about the future surgeries because her warm bedside manner and excellent work made the first surgery perfect. When I had an issue with pain on another part of my mouth and could not receive help from my dentist, I called Dr. Brodala and she was able to see me for an emergency appointment, help me with the pain and refer me to someone who can help. She goes above and beyond and I wholeheartedly recommend that you have any work you need done at her office! read more

I recently cracked a tooth right down to the gum so it couldn't be saved and I went through the annoying 6 month process of repairing it and getting an implant. Dr. Brodala made this as positive of an experience as she could possibly have made it. She has a gentle way about her and is a true professional. She spends the time she needs to with you to make you comfortable - no rushing you in and out as if you are a number. I highly recommend her (and I'm VERY picky and seldom write reviews so this is a testament to her). She's also just a top notch person and very likeable. Thank you! read more

Dr. Brodala is the best of the best. I had been a very satisfied patient of Dr. Richard Yamada, who recently retired from Periodontics, Ltd, so when I needed a crown lengthening procedure, I looked for another periodontist in the same practice. I saw Dr. Brodala's glowing reviews on Yelp and made an appointment with her. Dr. Yamada had set the bar very high--and Dr. Brodala achieved that and more! A crown lengthening involves removing a section of the gum to expose more of the tooth in preparation for dental work on that tooth. As you can imagine, there is a lot of potential for pain and bleeding afterward. Dr. Brodala has a cheerful demeanor and a great sense of humor--but most importantly, she is an excellent surgeon. After my surgery, I had ZERO pain and ZERO bleeding. When she asked me if there was anything that could make me feel better after surgery, I replied, "Yes, chocolate!" She didn't miss a beat. Dr. Brodala pulled out her prescription pad and wrote me a script for chocolate. Needless to say, I highly recommend her! read more

Dr. Brodala is incredible! I saw her last year for a gum graft and could not have been more pleased. She immediately puts her patients at ease with her gentle and calm demeanor. I had the procedure on a Friday and she actually called me over the weekend to be sure I was doing okay!! What doctor does that????? She is simply the best! read more

Yesterday I went to Dr. Brodala on the recommendation of my dentist. I had to have some gum and jawbone work done before replacing old caps. She explains the procedure and doesn't rush you in any way. I have had more than my share of dental work over the years because I was hit by a car in college which resulted in multiple broken teeth. Based on my years of experience, now in my 60s, I can say she is the best periodontist I've gone to. Fabulous... it was surprisingly painless (really), and she is so calming and cheerful that I didn't even feel like I was in a doctor's office. A day later, she called me to followup and ask how I was healing. It was perfect because I did have a little question that I wouldn't have bothered her with, but there she was on the phone. By the way, I went to the Skokie office and everyone on the staff was competent and friendly. Perfect experience all around. read more
