    We had an awful experience with Dr. Girgis personally. Things went fine with my older son but there…read morewas a major problem, lack of communication, and a disgraceful final meeting with him regarding my daughter's treatment. Our daughter started with a palate expander over 3 years ago, she's had baby teeth pulled and 2 years ago had surgery to expose teeth impacted in the roof of her mouth. One year ago she noticed that the last emerging tooth felt reversed/backwards. She felt it was smooth and round on the inside. Dr. Girgis DISMISSED HER CONCERNS and told her she was wrong. He offered her no explanation and NEVER EVEN MENTIONED the issue to us. Now, with the tooth almost in position, the bracket is not glued to the outside of the tooth! My daughter was right that the tooth is FLIPPED BACKWARDS! It could have been rotated over the year as it's been slowly pulled into position if Dr. Girgis had listened to her and considered that he might have made a mistake. How could he not have seen that?! We confronted him about this, after our dentist confirmed it, and he was very angry at us and said we were all wrong. He even said about our 15 yo daughter, "SHE'S A CHILD. SHE DOESN'TKNOW ANYTHING." Then he offered (or threatened) to pull the bracket off her tooth to prove he was right. We refused because he was angry and she was scared. So he said there was nothing he could do and we should seek treatment elsewhere if that's how we felt. He stormed out of the room, leaving the three of us, the tech, and another patient and tech nearby speechless. The office manager was called and Dr. Ito stepped it. They handled things as best they could, and Dr. Ito mentioned that the tooth was rotated. He didn't know that Dr. Girgis had NEVER SAID ANYTHING to us about it, so Dr. Ito's explanation was not very clear and we still don't know for sure what he would do to fix it. He did say it would take another 6-8 months, when Girgis said the braces would be off in 2-3. So maybe Girgis was going to stop with a backwards tooth? I don't know, but we've long since paid this office, so what do we do?

    Dr.Ito is kind, knowledgeable and a great doctor. My son had an expander and upper limited braces…read moreto close his gaps. My husband and I highly recommend him. The office is clean and they have fun arcade games for the children.

It could have either been because she did not want to undo the work she just did of putting it on, because she might have been late for her lunch break, or both... ...Other than that, both Dr. LaRoia and his staff are pure professionals. They're skilled, attentive, considerate, and pleasant to be around. There's also so many beautiful people there. With my now wearing a retainer, I'm only saddened that I have so few excuses left to visit them.

They were very informative in the type of treatment available for me and answered all of my 101 questions! I loved that they weren't pushy like other places. Every visit was pleasant and I don't have a single complaint! My braces were taken off ahead of schedule which I was so happy about. My only wish is that I would've found Oakbrook Orthodontics sooner! Dr. Neal and his team are very friendly and great at what they do. So thankful for them:)

Only downside is that I was blind sided by the $159 fee for consultation with having had prior treatment(not from them but from another orthodontist). When I stated I was told it was free, the girls in the front immediately got annoyed. Aside from that, as stated prior, it was a nice experience.

So He has had braces for about 10months from this place and also dental work and cleanings from here as well! One call just left a very sour taste in my mouth. In short: Ortho clerk called me in March directly stating I am responsible for about $900 added to my bill because Insurance declined since 1/1/23, I asked why call me now 3 months later and continue to see me monthly and not tell me the last 3 months you saw me? Why they lost me after I am done with braces: She directly did not take accountability and said "In the contract you signed and initialed you are responsible for any off insurance fees"!!! That completely was rude but I remained polite! I again asked why call me 3 months later vs 1 week ago when I saw you or Jan or Feb? Again she put fault on me and my responsibility. I get it, If I was at fault!! Still no answer why not tell me in Jan or Feb when I saw them!!! She now blamed the billing department! My reply which changed her tune: Aren't your Ortho and your Dental office the same system? She said yes! Me: Well you all need to communicate better because I sent my new Insurance a month ago early Feb! (Insurances change often due to work and they should know this) not even a "Justin, did your insurance change?) She now checked the SYSTEM AND THEN CHANGED HER TUNE when she saw there is a new insurance in the system!! Still no answer as to why tell me 3 months later, why not check before calling! Very rude in my eyes to tell me "I signed a contract" which I am ok to pay if I was at fault! Instead of apologizing and taking accountability that they dont check their systems and instead call a costumer with a negative direct approach!!! After this is done, they lost a customer who loved them! No excuse! So rude!

    Coming to her office was the most uncomfortable experience every time and I would not recommend her…read moreto anyone. She is one of the rudest people I have ever met, swore at me multiple times over not wanting to wait for her to print my retainer for an hour. I offered to come back and pick it up and her assistants set up an appontment for the next day but she told me "she is my doctor and what she wants is more important than anything else i have going on and she has final say" and made me sit and wait or she would call the cops on me because my insistance on returning to pick it up was "threatening" even though i asked nicely and explained why i couldn't. I never threatened anyone with anything other than a bad review. Because they had just offered me a starbucks giftcard to leave a good review then revoked their offer after the whole ordeal i had to change my review. she ended up calling the police to tresspass me after holding me hostage for an hour and popping up in my face every 5 minutes to taunt me about not paying me for my review, how shes going to reply to my review with a "story" to get people to ignore my review, and more threats. she said shes had to do that to other patients in the past and the officers are familiar with her practice - its no suprise shes the common demoninator and uses the police as a weapon to manipulate people. I was going to leave out some details. But given her actions I'm going to list my other grievances anyway. U should know how the front desk will call u over 6 times a day to confirm an appointment even if ur busy and ask them to stop calling multiple times. They tried to refund me the incorrect amount of money after refusing to do services that was agreed upon when I joined their practice and tried insisting on holding onto my money until my last appointment for no reason other than shes "terribly busy". They held my mouth hostage and refused to take off the braces until every last payment was made even though the braces themselves were paid off. i had other treatments in my payment plan that i was paying off too. I thought she would be the best because shes a professor in orthodontics but her bedside manner is scary, manipulative, selfish, and aggressive. She should not be working on patients or with students in my opinion. Shes very harsh and barks at adults who are waiting quietly on their phone for her because "having people on their phone during an appointment is distracting and annoying". She is impatient and unwilling to answer any questions u might have about the process or procedure at hand. In fact, she thinks it is insulting to be asked any questions at all about what is happening during an appointment. She demands ur silence, obedience, and full trust without question. She does fine work on teeth, but overall i would've paid 2x to get seen by somebody else.

    "Beware" I would like to make everyone aware of the situation that happened to me this past Monday…read more, July 12th. Upon arriving everyone was pleasant . Once I went into a separate room with the receptionist that's when the deception started. 1st-Red Flag When I called to make an appointment for braces for my son I was told my down payment for top and bottom would be $540 down.. When I got there I was told $840 down. 2nd-Red Flag. The receptionist told me that my son could only get his top braces because of how expensive the supplies are however If I pay $1,800 down he couid get top and bottom. 3rd-Red flag . The dentist told me that she only recommends everyone getting top braces first then the bottom on your next appointment which is two months later. 4th- Red Flag The receptionist talked about another customers child to me , She said " Quote on Quote" a kid who we did braces on was weird becuase she wanted purple and pink brackets !! She also scolded me for saying that my son wanted black bands . The dentist said that its not about the color its about the braces . If I'm paying $6,000 why can't we make it about the colorful bands and the braces ?? 5th red flag - The receptionist asked me to sign the contract without allowing ne to read it. When i asked to see the contact that I was signing she said okay but I do things a certain way!! I said i cant sign a contract that you will not allow me to read. Once. i read the contact it had tons of hidden fees that I questioned. One was a $100 fee for a sliver membership . When I asked what does the membership entail she said to be able to make an appointment in the morning , I told her that , I'm not interested in paying $100 to make an early appointment. She left and walked away , cane back and said I drive a hard bargin like I was at a car reading the final updated contract . I could not continue to be treated this way so I said that I do t like the service so my son and I will be leaving. I asked to speak to the dentist she never came out , The receptionist asked what did she do wrong , I told her , She gave me a fake apology and Me and my son left. The receptionist cost the company $6,000 !!!! And please If you go here read the contract , Its better places that you can go to that care and wont have all sorts of hidden fees.

His wife was the one who worked me up originally and told me I would need 12-14 months of correction. I felt confident in the plan and then suddenly Dr Nicks wife was no longer working there. Dr Nick decided to remove all the attachments at 10 months before my teeth were in the right position. i Went back 2 weeks later because there was a gap forming between my 2 front teeth which I had never had. He said no worries we'll glue some retainers to the back of your front top and bottom teeth. He directed his assistant to try to squeeze my top front teeth together while at the same time trying to glue a retainer on to the back of my teeth. Ridiculous! Obviously that did not work so he said he would just try to straighten things without the attachments and only with trays. About 4 years later in Treatment I realized that it was not working and I said that I was done because I could not take any more of the ridiculous care! He said he wanted me to do 6 weeks in an overcorrection tray Before I finished. I received the trays and tried to wear them but they caused such unbelievable pain that I ended up having to see an endodontist to rule out issues with my my roots which was ruled out. Then I was sent to a maxilofacial surgeon who said it appeared to be trigeminal neuralgia. She sent me to an ent and a neurologist. I then saw another orthodontist who does Invisalign and determined that all my pain was attributed to the last 2 Invisalign trays Dr Nick gave me. Dr Nick told me to keep wearing them no matter what. I payed Dr Nick $6400 for this horrible treatment and at least another $3-4 thousand out of pocket for 2 cat scans and the specialists I had to see. I'm going to be In treatment again because my bite is so messed up from what he did to me. I'm not the only one. I know several other patients from this office with very bad outcomes. Dr klepacki used to own this practice and he was amazing. He fixed all my kids teeth. He is no longer practicing so don't be fooled about reviews that are out there when klepacki was there.
