Pediatric orthodontics can be hard to navigate, but Chicago Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics…read moremakes it all so easy. My initial call with Natalia at the front desk was wonderful. She explained their no-pressure orthodontic consultation and found an appointment time that worked great for my family and I. Natalia and the entire front office (special shout-out to Melissa too!) have always been kind and helpful. We had a great consult with Dr. Dale. He was so thorough in his exam and recommendations, with a warmth that we had never experienced before. We are so grateful, as our daughter (and we, her parents) were instantly put at ease. We immediately wanted to become his patients and plan to be for many, many years! Becky assisted us regarding orthodontic cost and payment options. She is SPECTACULAR. There was never any pressure to proceed, and she and the team made sure that everything was explained in full detail so we knew what to expect at all times. Above and beyond! That is what Chicago Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is. Our daughter was actually excited and still is to have braces on her teeth. We are in awe. Thank you magnificent Chicago Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics team! If you want excellent orthodontic care - you MUST check them out.

Dr. Dale Benjamin misled me at the consultation by promising treatment that left me with a huge…read moreoverbite (bigger on the upper left than on the right side), teeth were not fully aligned, a piece of a tooth broke during the treatment, he shortened my upper left tooth in trying to create impression of delivering quick results and most importantly left me with misaligned bite where my upper and lower teeth no longer match. As a result I can't close my mouth properly and I am in constant discomfort that led to jaw pain, headaches, tension in my tongue, face and neck muscles, and a lot of anxiety. My face changed significantly as a result of the treatment. Dale Benjamin refused to give me a refund unless I sign a release form that I am taking the refund as a settlement and I release him from any liability that may arise from his treatment. When I reached out to him regarding the jaw pain he referred me to a general dentist for a toothache. In my opinion Dr. Dale doesn't have any integrity and he is not trustworthy. I still haven't begun a treatment somewhere else because I paid $4,520 to Dale Benjamin and now I have to pay $7,500 to another orthodontist to fix what Dr. Benjamin messed up. Therefore I have been wearing unattended braces since April 2024, the colored O rings started falling out and I accidentally swallowed three of them. With that said, you should think 100 times before you hire a board certified orthodontist with university degree who will trick you into a treatment that caused more damage than good and who wants to be released from any liability that might arise from the treatment he provided you with. I don't know how I fell for the promises of Dr. Benjamin. Had I known that that after one year I will have the overbite of a horse and I will not be able to close my mouth properly I would've ran away from his clinic. At the consultation I chose metal braces. I am 41 years old and Dr. Benjamin asked me how I am going to date with metal braces. Well, I see no issue but anyway my dating life is not Dr. Benjamin's business. I began the treatment and when I went for my first check up he referred to me as "you were the one with the metal braces" and he rushed to clarify that I am the first adult patient he has ever had to choose metal braces over ceramic. At this point I don't know what made the doctor feel so comfortable talking to me like this. Was the big issue because of a $600 difference in the price or the doctor is normally a bully who likes degrading his patients. The only reason I agreed to this treatment is because he assured me that there will be no tooth extraction and now he was recommending extraction. Dale Benjamin apologized that he misspoke at the consultation by saying there will be no extraction. I consulted with four other orthodontists and they all did not recommend extraction of premolars as suitable for me. I also want to mention the office manager Shelly Martinez. When I spoke over the phone with her to share my complaints and dissatisfaction with Dr. Benjamin's work she called that a slander accusing me of lying and slandering Dr. Benjamin because I quote: "She doesn't know him in this light". No worries, I will upload photos of what they call a "slander". That was a very disappointing experience. I come from Europe where doctors with university degrees don't sit like a salesman telling you anything you want to hear in order to sell you their services. I regret the day I went in for a consultation and I fell for the promises of Dale Benjamin. I regret the day I hired Dale Benjamin. His treatment caused more damage than good. Now instead of taking the braces off and moving on with my life now I have to begin a new treatment, spend thousands more, undergo a painful surgery to remove impacted wisdom tooth and then spend another year or more wearing braces but that doesn't guarantee that for the $7,500 I will spend the overbite of a horse will be reduced as it may end up permanent. Hiring Dale Benjamin as my orthodontist was the biggest waste of time and money in my life!

Every time I have gone I get seated within minutes of signing in and the dentist is in to see me quickly. The staff is wonderful. Teresa makes me feel like we are old friends from high school. She asks me how I have been and makes me feel like I am hanging out with friends instead of at the dentist office. Maria is the hygienist and I have never had a better cleaning in my life. She is gentle and makes sure I am comfortable. She explains any treatment the dentist recommends. And I never feel pushed into something I don't need. Dr. Schneider is so sweet and I always feel she has my best interest in mind. She is mindful of cost and while always explaining all the options she still understands if I choose one over another. When I had an implant she was helpful in explaining costs and walked me through the options to finance the treatment that I needed. I never felt pressured. The interaction between Teresa and the Dr were great during my treatment. They work well as a team. They spent the whole time they were working on me talking about their weekends and husbands. I was so busy listening my treatment was finished before I realized. Talk about being put at ease! I would recommend this office to anyone who wants a great dentist. The whole staff is a pleasure.
