With that being said, I would still give 100 stars to this office if YELP would allow it. My review is based on my dealings with one of the dentists at this office- Dr. Bennett. Dr. Bennett is an extremely talented professional. When I think of someone who practices any sort of medicine, it is with the hope that they are doing so with a deep passion for helping people. He does this and more. He is incredibly personable and I feel very comfortable discussing any issues I have with him. Any time I have a question, he makes himself available to answer it. He is attentive, caring, and goes out of his way to ensure that I get the answer I NEED and not the answer I want. There have been multiple instances where I have had a dental question, and he has taken his time (uncompensated) to give me his professional opinion and recommendation so that I can decide how to move forward with my own treatment. If I was ever given the option, I would use this office- hands down. Anyone that receives care from him is incredibly lucky because he will ensure you are taken care of in the manner that is most appropriate for your condition. Thanks for all that you do!

Unfortunately I will be leaving the practice after all these years because of the women at the front desk. I had 4 visits within one month. At 2 of the visits I was told they would be billed to insurance and I would receive an invoice for anything not covered. At the other 2 visits I was told I needed to pay upfront and would get a refund for whatever insurance covered. I was getting whiplash from all this back and forth, unable to predict if I would need to pay upfront or if it would be billed to insurance. After receiving an explanation of benefits from insurance I called the office to discuss my overpayment. I was told they had not received the insurance checks yet and would put a note in my chart to call me once they were received. I never got a phone call. I ultimately followed up and was told the checks were received and I had a $900+ "credit" on my account and they could write me a refund check if I wanted. When questioned on the practice of making ONLY delta dental patients pay upfront and only at some visits the women became quite defensive and rude. All she kept saying is "this is the way the doctor wants it done". Well if that's the case why isn't it followed at every visit? Had I not followed up would a refund check have been written or would I have just had this credit sitting in my account there? This seems like double dipping, keeping the money I paid out of pocket, while also keeping the check from insurance and just having a credit sit in my account. Something just doesn't seem right about this. In today's economy when every penny counts I can't be going to an office when I don't know if I'm going to have to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars upfront and if they will actually refund me once insurance pays or if they will just keep a credit in my account. I'll be finding a practice that has followed their previous practice of billing insurance and sending an invoice for what wasn't covered. The longest it took insurance to write a check to the dentist in all of these visits was 8 business days. So the woman's explanation of "it's taking insurance too long to pay, that's why delta dental patients have to pay up front" doesn't make sense.

(surprise! that's where Dr. Wardell is on Fridays in Glen Ellyn) I received braces as a part of an overall procedure to extract a baby tooth, expose the adult impacted tooth in the palate, and essentially realign my entire bottom and top teeth to accommodate all the changes- starting at 28. Needless to say, quite the complicated process. I moved out of Chicago to South Wisconsin midway through my 4.5 year braces treatment. Due to the quality of Dr. Wardell's care explaining each step of the procedure, answering my questions, I remained a patient of his, seeing him at his suburban practice. The office staff always being understanding that my commute was long, were very helpful in scheduling appointments to fit around work and other logistical things. I really appreciate it and, if you could not tell already, I would highly recommend them.

Dr. DeGroot is a great surgeon and spends as much time as a patient needs to answer questions. The…read moresupport staff is also top-notch. He extracted both of my bottom front teeth and installed an implant w/cantilever to replace them. Because they were front teeth, there was a need to have a bone graft (as apparently the front teeth do not have as much bone and space to have a lot to attach the implant). No one wants to go thru such a thing, but if I had to do it again, I would again use Dr. Bradley DeGroot. Details: * he provided the options available to me * he explained things very well--and I typically have lots of questions--particularly in regard to options, but also for long-term viability of choices being compared * the office staff was very friendly and efficient--felt like a nice extension of Dr. DeGroot's capabilities * executed the surgery very well...because I had to have both bottom front teeth extracted/replaced, there was a need to do a bone graft to provide a better landing zone for the implant. As is apparently typical for front teeth, there was only room for one implant, so a cantilever was used for the other one. I had sought opinion of another periodontist/implant specialist for this procedure, and they seemed to know what they were doing, but I didn't get the same level of comfort that I did when I spoke with Dr. DeGroot. The first doctor spoke more like a surgeon, but Dr. DeGroot spoke more like a person solving your problems. He explained things very well and he is VERY thorough--my dentist (who is also quite good) indicated so, too. Dr. DeGroot's exam was more thorough than the first periodontist/implant specialist I sought. Not going to mention name of first doctor, because I'm sure the other doctor is fine and not looking to taint anyone here, but I just felt more comfortable with Dr. DeGroot. * he and his team were incredibly flexible and understanding. When I shared my extreme aversion to needles (and I needed three shots to numb the area for the bone graft and implants), I asked for LOTS of numbing agent before they put the needle injections into my gums - three needle shots were coming!!! - and once the assistant put enough numbing agent, and Dr. DeGroot apparently deftly placed the needle injections, I literally didn't feel ANYthing when he gave me those three injections! Yowza, that was nice! And once the injections were done (with novocaine, I suppose), I didn't feel anything during the surgery for extraction, bone grafting, and implantation. I was quite pleased--except for having lost two of my front teeth, of course. :-) * wore retainer to cover the two missing teeth for about 4 months, while the bone graft healed...no issues, but as I was counseled by his team, it was best to remove for eating. * had no issues with after-surgery care, as I simply followed the instructions on the rinse care and what I should/shouldn't eat. * saw Dr. DeGroot for temporary crown/cantilever, which is apparently standard for front teeth, due to their more aesthetically noticeable location--this procedure went well, too...it was nowhere near as difficult as the main extraction/implantation surgery, as the "worst of it" was done at this point. * I then saw my general dentist for performing the permanent crown/cantilever. * it has been 8 months since the implant was done, and no issues. I have had the permanent crown/cantilever for 2 months, and have had no issues. All seems great, with no limitations on my lifestyle! I can floss around the implant, and I even floss around under the cantilever, as there is a natural (very small) space under it--not noticeable to others, but it inherently is not going to go immediately contiguous to the gum line. I will consider a water-pick for flossing, but thus far have had no reason to consider it. Conclusion: Overall, a very good experience, considering the not-so-pleasant need for having two front teeth extracted and replaced. I would use Dr. DeGroot again, if I had any further need for periodontal issues, and I would recommend him to anyone who had the misfortune of having to have implants done.
