    I want to start by saying I rarely leave reviews, but this one feels extra important. Referrals are…read morethe best way to find a great doctor, and I truly want people to be able to find a dentist as good as I did. Dr. Dow has completely changed my view on dentistry. I used to dread going to the dentist, and I had a lot of anxiety around it, but he has completely eased that. Now I actually enjoy going because of him and his team. He goes above and beyond his role to make sure you're not only taken care of, but genuinely comfortable. You can tell he truly cares about you as a patient and as a person - not just as a number or a paycheck. As someone who has had severest of autoimmune disease issues and life altering anxiety a very long time, I've experienced both really great doctors and really disappointing ones. This is actually the first review I've ever left because I think it's important for people to understand the difference... and Dr. Dow is exactly what a doctor should be. I had been searching for a dentist for almost a year after moving to Chicago in 2023, and I'm so glad I didn't settle for anyone else. They are the absolute best. His team even calls after certain exams or procedures just to make sure I'm doing okay... which is honestly unheard of these days. If you're looking for a professional, highly skilled, and incredibly knowledgeable dentist, you've found the right place. And if you want someone who truly values you and your time and goes above and beyond for his patients, this is 100% your doctor. I'm genuinely excited to continue a lifelong partnership with Dr. Dow as my dentist--and you should absolutely do the same. Him and his team are unmatched!

    Update: Dr. Fisher took the time to call me right away to help clear some things up. He let me know…read morethat the deprogrammer is very successful for his patients and that I have been the only one that has had a joint problem as opposed to a muscle problem. He let me know that his patients that have gone through with the deprogrammer, have told him that this has been life changing. With TMJ disorders, sometimes you just have to go through other tests and diagnostic tools to get to the diagnoses. I truly appreciate him giving me a call to clear some things up and he also offered me a full refund.

    Let me preface this review by saying that the dentist himself and all the receptionist staff were…read morevery nice. If it wasn't for them, this would be a 1 star review due how rude and condescending the hygienist - Jody was. This was my first time at Bridgeport family dental and I just needed to get a cleaning since my insurance allows for two a year and I'd only had one so far. I usually go to the west loop but I found these guys had great reviews and were much closer to me. Let me get right to the point, my dental hygienist was extremely rude and condescending the entire 45 minute visit. Her tone of voice and the way she would talk were just unbelievable. Let me give you an example. One time while she was cleaning I let her know it was hurting and was a little rough. Some background: I have no problem with the dentist and don't have any nerves. I don't ever get uncomfortable or really feel any pain during a normal cleaning so this in itself was unusual. Jody's response was - "Oh so you DON'T want me to get the tartar out" in an extremely rude tone! Is that seriously how they talk to a patient here? This was just one of many examples. When the dentist came in, I was ready to let him know my experience but Jody was still hovering behind so I decided to write this review instead. I've never been treated like this at a dentist office and I really expected better from a place with so many 5 star reviews. Jody needs some serious training. Suffice to say I'll be going back to my normal dentist after this.

    Everyone has always been great. Never had a complaint. Whenever I came in I was made to feel very…read morewelcome. The hygienist was always very thorough. Of course Dr. Steve was Excellent.

Their receptionists are welcoming and proactive with communication. They call to confirm appointments and will let you know of earlier openings if desired. They will get your insurance and other details ahead of time so that checking in is seamless After they moved locations to the Canal plaza, my appointments have become so quick and smooth every time with the convenience of the parking lot. Theyre on the second floor so be sure to take the ramp upwards when turning in from Archer ave Dr Yee herself is really friendly and personable. Brings good energy each time she pops in during my checkups. Being in this field for decades, shes really knowledgeable and experienced in her practice. She has done procedures like fillings, extractions, and gingivectomies for me over the years and talks you through everything while making the experience as pleasant and comfortable as she can. She operates with precision and confidence and exudes trust in the way that she speaks and moves The team of hygienists are always consistent and thorough with their cleanings. With the new handheld dental xray machines, x rays are a breeze and just goes to show how theyre improving the experience for their patrons I personally have always been satisfied with my dental care and would highly recommend Dr Yee if youre looking either looking to start regular dental visits or considering switching primary dental providers

    Wisdom teeth- ugh!!…read more I have been putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed for about 2 years. I had 1 impacted and 2 pretty much broken though. They were causing me a ton of pain and discomfort. The dentist has always been a fear for me. I was referred to Dr. Koos and upon meeting him for my consult I was put at ease. He explained everything to me about the procedure and answered any questions I had. For some reason he really put me at ease and I trusted that I was in the best hands. This is saying a lot because I'm always so nervous about any medical procedure. I'm a bit of a nervous nelly and have a lot of anxiety and this was procedure was really causing me stress. He is extremely calming yet very professional. The days leading up to my surgery I was super nervous. BUT- once I got to the office everyone was super nice and I just accepted the fact the teeth were coming out! Ha! I was greeted by Dr.Koos' dental assistant(I asked her name but can't remember). She brought me back to a really nice room. She made me feel comfortable. She placed the laughing gas mask on me and started doing her thing. She even played Alina Baraz, my favorite artist! She asked if the music was ok, and would have let me put on anything I wanted to make me feel comfortable. So, if you have a favorite song, don't be afraid to ask! It's like she knew me and knew how to make me feel like everything was going to be ok. The mask seems scary at first but a few deep breaths and everything isn't so bad! I was so relaxed. It still felt a little scary so I took a few deeeep breaths in through the nose out through the nose just as they instructed. With every breath I felt better and more relaxed. It's like magic ! Next thing I know the Dr. comes in, gives me an IV with the anesthesia and I was out like a light. It was SO easy! I wake up, they bring me to a nice waiting area to let me get myself together(somewhat) haha! And then give my husband and I very through instructions and information on what to expect. The healing has been great and Dr. Koos called the night of to check on me. He even answered a few questions I had along the way. I am super impressed with the professionalism and knowledge with the Dr. Thanks so much Dr. Koos and the ORA team. You made an extremely terrifying experience as good as it could possibly be! Oh- and now 6 days later I'm pain free and healing wonderfully!!

    I want to preface this review by stating that my husband and I did A LOT of research prior to…read moredeciding to go with ORA. I came into the clinic with a need for a dental implant after an external resorption that rendered my tooth essentially worthless. I came to see a surgeon at the clinic, who eventually put me under anesthesia in order to remove my teeth and do a bone graft and, eventually, an implant. After months, I came back for a follow-up, and it became quickly clear that the implant was being rejected. At the follow-up, I asked if there were reasons why this could be the case (a genuine and fair question when you're paying over $5,000 for a procedure out of your own pocket) and the surgeon was EXTREMELY defensive and rude. It was an incredibly odd situation, since I'm young, healthy, have great oral hygiene, have no familial dental issues, and less than 5% of implants actually fail. I left the appointment feeling really dismissed. Eventually, the office took out the implant (for free, which I appreciated!). I was again put under anesthesia for the procedure. The surgeon did not call me to follow-up on how I was feeling (despite doing that on every other procedure I'd had there). Nobody from the office called me. Eventually, I brushed off the situation and went to speak to, in total, 3 dental professionals (periodontist, dentist, and oral surgeon). All 3 of these professionals, after looking at the x-ray, said that it looked as though there was something in my gums that likely prevented the implant from being successful. Finally, the periodontist cut open my gum and took out a piece of unremoved tooth (a leftover from the tooth that had been previously removed by the ORA surgeon). The leftover tooth--which was about 1cm in size--was causing me bleeding, puss, and eventually cost me THOUSANDS of dollars in dental care (while I was a student). Eventually, I sent an email to ORA asking if we could discuss my experience. My email explained that as both an attorney and a child of medical professionals, I understand that accidents happen, but that it's important to sit with patients that have grievances in order to (1) understand what happened and (2) figure out how to compensate (not necessarily financially) the patient. I have never received a single phone call or email back from ORA in response to this email despite laying out (1) the immense financial burden of the situation given it predominantly happened while I was a student, (2) the pain caused from the leftover tooth, and (3) the additional dental expenses incurred in the aftermath of attempting to fix the issue. In my head, just having a conversation with me, explaining to me the possibilities of what happened, and apologizing would have been MORE than sufficient to make me feel better and cared for by these professionals. I feel extremely disappointed in this office, primarily because I loved the staff very much! I felt disregarded and did not at all feel cared for as a patient. Of course, this does not disregard all of the great reviews that people have left for ORA on this page. But I hope that it can provide some additional information regarding my experience!

I have been calling for 2 weeks now and have never been able to get someone on the phone. I left a voicemail and couldn't get someone on the phone. Last month I had an issue with them charging me for a visit that I never scheduled, nor was I ever at their office on that day. And I was trying to call them to question why this charge was even there and they never answered my messages or my phone calls. I had to physically go to the office to talk to them about it, and they told me to just ignore the charges, because it was a mistake on their end. That was about 3 weeks ago, And I'm still getting messages about an unpaid invoice. Also, there is pain in my tooth after a crown replacement procedure , I have been calling, to get this issue dealt with before I get the permanent crown put on, but no one is returning my calls, I don't want to pay the money to go all the way to their office just to deal with something that could be handled in a phone call. My dental treatment here has been fine so far, I am confused as to why I'm having nerve pain after a crown replacement, when I had absolutely no pain on that tooth before the crown was replaced. But I don't know why this is happening nor can I get anyone on the phone to have a conversation about it or schedule a follow-up exam. Other than that my experience with the dentist here have been good. And that's really the only reason they're getting the two and a half stars. Because the other half of me determining if a business is decent or not is their ability to conduct business. Their ability to communicate and theirs is ass.
