Here is a copy of an email I sent to corporate. I'll update when they respond…read more I am writing to share about my experience at the Bloomingdale location. On Tuesday, January 13th, I called into work and scheduled an emergency appointment. The dentist, dental assistant, and hygienist were very kind. They walked me through the process explaining I would need to be on antibiotics for at least two days before they could remove the tooth. The office manager helped me schedule the cleaning and extraction for the following Monday when my work was closed for MLK day. (For context, I work in Northbrook - leaving my home at 6 am and returning around 6:45 pm. Your normal business hours do not work for me.) Initially, she said she didn't have any appointments for the extraction but when I suggested I would pay for my emergency appointment and call other Aspen Dental locations so I could have the rest of the procedures done on my day off, she said she would make it work. I trusted her to do so and paid the required 50% down-leaving with a Rx for antibiotics. Yesterday, I arrived for my 1:30 pm appointment. Wanting to avoid having to talk after my extraction, I asked to take care of payment right away. (I wasn't sure how I would feel after so I wanted to be able to just leave.) During my cleaning, the hygienist told me that because my appointment for the extraction was not until 4 pm (it was just after 2:15 at that point) I was welcome to leave and run errands or hang out in the waiting area. This was the first problem. The office manager did not tell me there would be this large of a gap between appointments. Again, I would have called other Aspen Dental locations. Initially, I chalked this up to a miscommunication. Without another option, I left the office after my cleaning, returning at 3:45 pm. This was the second problem. When I walked back in, the receptionist stated that she had called me. (I was in my car in the parking lot - I never received a call.) She stated that the doctor was running late and wanted to know if I could reschedule. I explained that, no, I had specifically agreed to continue at this location because I could have both the cleaning and extraction done on my day off. She slipped in the back and spoke with the doctor. When she returned, the story had changed and she said the doctor "does not do extractions". Problem three. I questioned which was true - was she running late or did she "not do" extractions. The woman just stood there. Assuming the later was true, I then asked why they hadn't told me they were unable to do the extraction when I first arrived for my cleaning. It clearly showed an extraction on their books as I had to sign "after-extraction care" paperwork. If the dentist truly "doesn't do extractions", why go through with having me pay for the procedure and sign off on all the forms?!?!? Had I known at 1:30, I might have been able to secure an appointment at another Aspen Dental location and not be leaving in pain. The receptionist did not have an answer. She did call the Palatine location after I asked her to call other locations but, of course, they were not able to accommodate me so late in the day. So, here I am - eight days later and still in pain. All I wanted was some care and compassion for a dental emergency. While looking for your corporate customer service email, I read on the website that each location is "independently owned". Problem number four. This entire situation has me questioning if the office manager had actually arranged things as she promised on the 13th. Was everything I experienced just a ruse to ensure I remained at this "independently owned" location rather than taking my money to a different location?!?! She was quick (looking back perhaps too quick) to change her answer about appointment availability when I suggested going to a different location. I truly hope you will look into this matter and I await your response.

No dentist has ever taken the time to smooth and refine my teeth the way they did--it made such a difference. You can truly tell they care about your dental health and take pride in their work. They also offer genuinely helpful recommendations without making you feel pressured. On top of that, the entire experience was enjoyable, the team is warm, welcoming, and even hilarious, which made the visit feel comfortable and relaxed. Maya at the front desk, her hospitality was superb. They were incredibly patient and kind with my 5-year-old during her cleaning, which meant a lot to us. We felt seen, cared for, and in great hands from start to finish. We will definitely be returning!

This place is an absolute mess. I've been dealing with them since November and let me just say, I…read morewill not be giving them ANY business. I understand that DentalWorks was replaced by Dentist in Bloomingdale and that they inherited its patients but was there communication on this ... NOPE. I tried back in November to come in for a 6 month cleaning. I was scheduled and then moved. Fine it happens. Then this happened 6 more times!! No exaggeration, and shame on me for giving them so many chances but honestly I didn't (at the time) want to go and find another dentist when I've been going to DentalWorks for 6+ years. I get my 7th request call back on Monday 2/10, and I told her my reluctance to schedule but she said "Friday 2/14 the dentist will be in and we'll definitely see you", come today to 2/12, I get a phone call saying guess what the dentist is not around and I need to reschedule again. Absolutely not, I'm not doing this anymore because why would you jerk around your patients like that? Why keep scheduling me (since November 2024!) and keep canceling. My advice to Dentist in Bloomingdale, find reliable staff because soon you will find many people in this situation will be absolutely done with this poorly managed business. If you want reliable, you won't find it here. If anyone has any suggestions of responsive and good dentists in this area, would love to get that recommendation.
