I'm weird with dentists. Like weird as in I-am-not-a-fan of keeping my mouth suspended open while I…read morehear the buzzing of drills. So apparently I fractured a tooth at the root during law school (I used to grind my teeth at night from stress- so yeah think twice before you go to law school)...and I needed a second opinion from my own dentist (who told me to go to an specialist). From a recommendation I found Dr. Jit Chan. Dr. Jit Chan is incredibly professional, caring and makes you feel safe- which is wonderful for anxious patients like myself. He's been practicing for decades and has seen it all! I want to comment on how he takes his patients' concerns seriously and he is incredibly patient. I was able to get a walk-in appointment (walk-ins and emergencies welcome) and he was able to work with my insurance AND schedule. [His office is a one-stop shop that does everything from dental implants to Invisalign which is convenient for me.] His staff are native Spanish speakers and he speaks Chinese which is great for people who may have difficulty communicating their dental issues in English. The office is immaculate and the technology is state-of-the-art! There are huge screens and x-rays machines built into each room which makes the process more efficient! I actually had the x-ray of my tooth blown up on a huge screen which helped me see the tiny fracture at the root. He was also able to pull up pictures of dental implants so I could see examples of what they looked like without having to get up from the chair. The waiting room has a huge flatscreen tv and toys for little kids. There are several dental chairs and a special "children's chair" with dinosaurs and other cute wall paraphernalia to make the dental experience a little more friendly for children. (Trust me- it helps- I am an adult who had a bad childhood experience- which probably made me fear the dentist.) Finally, Dr. Chan's office is nestled in Little Village- off of 26th street and everyone in that neighborhood seem SOOO welcoming and nice! Strangers who treat you like family! There are so many really interesting shoppes near his dental office and lots of genuine people who were really kind to not laugh at my Spanish skills.

Actually, Dr. Chan is more like a businessman than a dentist. His operation led to the broken of…read morethe screw in my implant, which was only loosed. He had no necessary tools to fix the issue, and had to let the missing crown open. He ordered all tools and materials but transferred all costs to me. It means he made mistakes and damaged my implant, and asked me to pay for the following treatment. It led to my pain and high costs for the treatment. The following is an x-ray that shows no issue before the operation. After the operation, the crown fell off.

The absolute Worst dental experience of my Life! The only reason I feel comfortable given one star…read moreinstead of a -5, is because of the dental assistant. She was wonderfully, compassionate and apologetic. I was basically assaulted in the chair while I had instruments in my mouth. I can in for a dental emergency, a cracked tooth that was giving me significant pain. The dental assistant was kind and gracious while taking the x-ray. The dentist came in, did not introduce himself, had his back to me most of the time and finally said, "you need a root canal", all of this before he even verbally acknowledged my presence. I was a bit nervous, well a lot nervous and my legs were shaking, his next response was telling me to stop moving, "because you can't hit a moving target", of course this left me perplexed because, I was curious as to what was he trying to hit, seeing that he had diagnosed me with the need for a root canal and said he'd give me a referral. The dental insurance is commonwealth HMO, my first time using the HMO because of a job change. Here's where things went from bad to worse, he started cleaning my teeth without asking me (this is where the abuse comes in), I've worked in health care operations for many, many years and I've managed multiple dental practices. Everyone in healthcare knows, that if you do not ask the patient for permission, when you decide to go off course of the originally c/o, it is assault, extreme but true. I came in for an acute issue and I was hustled. Very typical scam for Health care clinicians who pray on unsuspecting patients. It all happened so fast. Once I was able to say something, I then said, you are wasting my time, I did not stop him from doing the cleaning, I was so alarmed that he would take it upon himself to just start the cleaning when I came to the office for tooth pain and a cracked tooth. His response to me was " when was the last time you've been to the dentist... didn't they tell you that you had a hole in your tooth, I responded something like, "I'm not neglecting my teeth, had I know, I would have taken care of it". Another one of his responses was, "You have a lot of crap on your teeth and I'm trying to get it off", Really.... The only reason I was there was for treatment of my cracked tooth. He finally finished with the 15 minute cleaning job and walked away saying "I'm not trying to hurt your feelings" in which I had responded, "too late". On a positive note, I did hear him speaking nicely to another patient in the office, who had actually seen him at another location. One can only speculate why he had such horrible bed side manners with me. He was horrible before I had even opened my mouth. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS PLACE, and I made this perfectly clear upon leaving the office.

In contrast, I highly enjoyed my visit as there was never a dull moment. There was much to explore in the office and the team actually talks to you to get to know you.

I've been taking my kids to Dr. Mendoza since my 13yr old was just 5yrs old because of how friendly…read moreand gentle he is. I love that he talks the kids through what he's doing and how he makes the kids actually enjoy going to the dentist. The staff are all also so friendly. I remember before the very first appointment with my oldest there was construction going on so they had called to let us know we might want to arrive a little earlier to ensure we can find parking without causing us to be late/miss our appointment time. That was my first sign that we were going to love Chicago smile specialist! Most places don't have that type of courtesy so It was super appreciated! We've also seen a couple other doctors when we needed to be squeezed in and each time they have all been just as great as Dr. Mendoza. High recommend this place!

My family and I have been patients here for several years. We are all leaving this practice…read moreimmediately. Here are my reasons. First at my last cleaning the hygienist didn't know how to turn on the lights or cleaning equipment. She rushed through what I'd saw was the most slipshod cleaning I've had in my entire 62 years of being alive and didn't even floss my teeth. When I left my review someone reached out to me and said she was on an interview. Well, I don't run a dental practice, but if I did I'd show them how to turn on the equipment before she went to work AND I'd have the interviewee clean a staff or family member's teeth and ask them for feedback. Instead this woman did a bad job and no one asked me for feedback. Kind of makes me wonder if I'm getting an honest answer from the practice. Second, on a Saturday morning I was eating granola and felt a crack followed by some pretty severe pain. I was glad Dr Perna was able to squeeze me in. He saw me, looked around and said he didn't see anything and come back if it continued to be a problem. Now, I haven't been to Dental School, but there are two HUGE things he didn't do. 1. He didn't even touch the tooth! Yep, you got that right. Didn't even touch the tooth to see if it may be broken below the gum line. 2. He didn't take an x-ray! Seriously, if the patient tells you he felt a "Crack" and is in pain even I know you take an x-ray to see if the problem could be below the gum line! Oh, and you get to bill for that too so you'd make more money! I got a second opinion 2 days later, the tooth was touched, x-rays were taken and the tooth was broken below the gum line exactly as I suspected. It's since been extracted and I've had an implant inserted. I'll be getting the tooth on the post in a few months. From my new dentist. These both demonstrate complete incompetence by this practice.
