Update: Sep19 2022 Summary:…read moreI rarely write online review... Unless there is something exceptional.. Just get back today from a quick root canal follow up visit with Dr. Burgener @ Wheaton office ... Couldn't be more happier with the result of root canal.( All the issues with tooth were fixed in just one previous visit ) ************************************************************ Below more details: ( For patients whoever want to know more) The Situation with my tooth was complicated (before root canal).. During the first visit , Dr. Burgener immediately point out there was serious Periodental Pocket around the tooth..If it is left untreated.. The tooth probably can not be saved eventually (even after root canal)... From that moment , I realize why she become Excellent Surgeon..(Looking at the root causes of a issue, foresee all other problem in the mouth that will cause future root canal failure...) Gum issues/ Disease is a different function(Periodentist) I was expecting her to say " After Root canal.. Suggest to see Periodentist) But she never say anything like that... To my surprise, As a talented Endodontist, She come up with a creative solution( Special filling with medication to cover the gum area).. So here I am , Within 2 Weeks after root canal.. My Gum @ that Problem tooth area come back( almost fully recovered) As we all know, Periodental pockets / Disease are difficult to treat...and very very slow recovery.. or in certain cases.. Can not be reversed at all. I feel I owe Dr Burgener a Big "Thank you".. She fix both the tooth problem( Root canal) and Periodental issue( Gum Pocket) in one visit for root canal. She is doing extra work( not her function at all) and don't even mention about it...( My original thought was I might need Periodental surgery or at least root scaling and planing with a Periodentist) Really appreciated for her Kindness. ************************************************************* BTW. One of my friend check on me lately and ask me how I am doing after root canal.. During the conversation , We find out we are seeing the same Endodontist(Dr Burgener) I was thrilled to know she drive all the way to Hinsdale ( That is a one hour drive for her..) to see Dr Burgener two years ago for a front tooth root canal.. The minute the two of us find out we are seeing the same doctor. Both of us smiled with a big relief... as we know we are in good hands and get top notch Endodontic care. My friend also give Dr. Burgener Thumbs up.

Dr. Poulson even anesthetizes without me feeling a pinch. And as if performing the precision work of root canals doesn't exhibit enough skill on it's own, I've challenged him with surprise tooth anatomy including hidden extra roots and hook-shaped twists. The office staff and Dr. Poulson have a light and friendly demeanor that puts patients at ease, but is professional enough that you know you're in good hands. They operate like a well-oiled machine. Not only have they helped me navigate my insurance, they have shown great patience in answering my many (too many) questions. I have recommended Apex to friends and family and will continue to do so. Let's face it, you don't want just anyone using a diamond drill bit to make holes in your face... Dr. Poulson is your man.

I've worked with both Dr. Kalokhe and Dr. Wong at the Downers Grove location in 2024-2026 and many…read moreyears ago in their former Chicago location for diagnostics, root canal, and apicoectomy. This review is based on many years of experience. They did a good job giving me different options for treatment -- both what my general dentist recommended and alternatives. For example, while my general dentist thought a tooth could not be saved, the apicoectomy performed by Dr. Wong was able to avoid extraction. Both did a good job explaining my situation in a direct manner. Dr. Wong has a big personality but he backs it up with professional work. They provide insurance and out of pocket estimates so you know what you'll pay for different options.

This review is based on my two experiences. My first experience with Dr Jukas was great…read more Unfortunately my 2nd experience w Dr Wong was not. Due timing and pain I took the first avail appointment with Dr Wong. I waited one hr for my appointment to start. I could hear Dr Wong w his other patient talking. Sounded like he Spend more time talking about his Telsa, cars, etc versus patient treatment. Which is fine if that patient was ok with. But I am sitting in the next room still waiting for my consult which is already one hour late. Dr. Wong didn't acknowledge or apologize for the long wait. Without looking at my mouth, a 2 sec look at the X-ray rambled a lot of confusing information. He spent more time on making notice of how my hair was done, looking at my shoes, ear rings etc, which became uncomfortable. Dr. Wong was very arrogant, and what he claims is his ice breaker was to ask about my nationality.... He questioned my last name and asked if I was sure my last name was from the ethinicity. Than he questioned if i was married. My nationality is and was irrelevant to the purpose of my visit. He clearly has not had any DEI training. Dr Wong didnt believe his ice breaker is/was culturally insensitive and told me that I was sensitive and he would make note of it. Dr Wong than went to use a common foods in my culture as an analogy to describe my issue. Dr Wong was all over the place explaining the treatment place, bc in the middle of his explaination he kept making comments about my look... which he justified as being "observant". He should be more observant in the care he provides not a persons looks including the items they are wearing. His front desk couldn't explain the itemize bill or what they call care plan Dr Wong was ready to take my tooth out that minute bc they said he was quick and had an opening. They could clearly see I was confused by what was going on. I declined to take action bc I needed to consult my dentist bc I was surprised by Dr Wong saying I had a bacteria eating away at my bone. After thinking over and waiting for the email plan, I called back for an appointment w Dr Jurkas as a 2nd opinion since I had a good and educational experience for my first root canal. I clearly remember Dr J saying why try to save the tooth first. To my surprise Dr Wong called me bc they shared w him that I was not happy w my experience w him and wanted a 2nd opinion. I brought to Dr Wong's attention the above concerns I did not like. Dr Wong was condescending by responding some ppl are slow to understand. I stopped him there and again brought to his attention his rude and unprofessional response. During our call when I brought to his attention the insensitivity of my culture he thought it was ok bc he had a lot of friend in the "x" culture. I than brought to his attention that is not my culture... He clearly was looking at my file picture and again made and assumption. He didn't catch it on his own that he was associating me w another culture when i was telling him what my culture was. Dr Wong was very arrogant and rude to say Dr Jurkas was not going to be able to do the work I needed and that he works under him. Dr Wong response was a narcissist response. I decided to end the call by saying I need To take my services somewhere else. I asked for the email w the recap if his consult I still hadn't received it. 10 min later Dr Wong called me back I sent him to voicemail bc I was working. To my surprise I get a unprofessional text message saying... "I know you are screening calls."To close the loop I acknowledge the email being received: I thought we were done...No he calls me again... now this was starting to be harassment. I picked up the call and just listen to Dr Wong ramble... "I can give you recommendations for a new consultative exam. " Than he started to explain to me what should've happen day one. The worse, worse experience by one Dr Wong. Which is unfortunate bc my experience w Dr J was pleasant. Dr Wong clearly wanted my money versus helping understand what is in my best oral interest

I originally came to this practice because I had a positive experience with Dr. Belke. However, my…read more2024 visit was with Tarannum Marya, DDS, and my experience was very different. I was told I needed a crown on a tooth that was not bothering me. After the procedure, the crown never fit properly. I returned multiple times for adjustments and was eventually told the discomfort was due to my tooth having a "high pulp" and that I would just need to live with the pain. The issue persisted for nearly a year. I experienced ongoing sensitivity and eventually noticed a strong odor and taste from under the crown. I sought care elsewhere. After visits with multiple dentists, a root canal, and the crown ultimately falling out, a new dentist confirmed decay beneath the crown. It was cleaned out and the crown was properly reset and adjusted. It has taken three additional dentists to address what began as a routine crown. I regret not seeking a second opinion sooner and hope this helps others make informed decisions about their care.

The hubby & I moved from West Loop just about a year ago. Not going to lie, I am VERY SELECTIVE…read morewhen it comes to my dentist. The hubby? My MIL (Mother In Law) always chose his dentist up until we got married. My criteria: a dentist in a convenient location, great Yelp rating (because I'm a working boss lady with no time to do Q&A on businesses), and above all, hours that meet my needs (aka late night hours and/or Saturdays). Disclaimer: Yes...I am the one that sent JPGs of ALL of our Dental x-rays from the past 4 years prior to our visit. You know... to "cover all bases" We were referred to Dr. Ann from friends who live next door to us in Wheaton. The hubby & I both work in the city so, although we are now "suburbanites", we were iffy about trading in our usual dentist with Saturday hours for Dr. Ann & the Tower Dental staff. Well we gave them a shot... AND WE WILL BE BACK :) Dr. Ann & staff were AMAZING! They fit us both in at the same time so we had a 'kill two birds with one stone' / double date night Dental visit. I had Dr. Ann for my cleaning. She was attentive, personable, and genuinely cared about my well being. Of course I did get the friendly lecture about flossing (I promise I am, Dr. Ann!) - she does it because she cares! The hubby did great as well :) Needless to say we immediately set our 6 month follow up and have recommended Dr. Ann & the rest of the Tower Dental team to two friends already! From the picky 'Dental office snob' that I am, 5 stars for Dr. Ann & team!

I cried the first ten minutes I was in the office , because i was so upset that I needed a root canal to fix the searing pain that I was in after leaving the last dentist's office. However, Dr. Ricks is patient and kind. She has the right equipment for the job. My first root canal took FOUR APPOINTMENTS elsewhere- this took one. ONE. One appointment!! My previous dentist had prescribed prescription painkillers THREE TIMES over the course of one root canal- they did nothing to stop the pain. After Dr. Ricks completed the procedure in ONE visit, I did not need anything other than Tylenol and Advil. That's it! Do not get a root canal from a dentist. See an endodontist. Better yet, see THIS endodontist.

Thankfully, they resolved this so I removed my review. This review, however, will not be removed. The root canal done on my wife ended up infected because it was not done properly. When an X-Ray was done at the new dental office we go to, it turns out not all of the root was removed which explains the infection. Do not come here unless you want to get another procedure done on the same tooth and spend even more money.

He uses a topical anesthetic before the novacaine shots (the most uncomfortable part of the procedure, really, and he has a very light touch with administering injections, providing gentle verbal encouragement simultaneously) and tells you about feeling some pressure or the "grumbly drill" etc. Dr. Brandys has many years of experience and is attuned to providing a positive patient experience by his supportive bedside manner. The office receptionist, Nancy, is friendly and welcoming, as are his two assistants. His happy humming along to the dental room music is a plus!

Yes, that was an issue that needed to be dealt with but that was NOT the tooth my dentist had wanted done first. Consequently I still have to go back and have the original tooth worked on. The really strange part was yesterday I received a check from this facility that was 2/3 of my original co-pay. I have no idea if the insurance they quoted me was incorrect or this is money back for the "extra" tooth work. Bottom line, communication is not a strong point.
