Dr. Bloom has been an awesome dentist for me. I met him about 10 years ago, complaining my teeth were loose and my jaw ached. And that I was afraid. During the first visit, Dr. Bloom made me comfortable, went over options, and we settled on a plan to save my teeth. Now, 10 years later, my teeth are fine, I'm very happy, and I'd recommend Dr. Bloom to anyone. enthusiastically! Steve H. read more

I had cosmetic pieces that snap over your teeth made here. Dr. Bloom was told what I wanted color and shape wise as well as showed pictures of what was desired. I also specified that if they would look a certain way I did not want them. Dr. Bloom recommended I have the lab make them with a certain shape and color. They arrived and they were noting like what I had asked for, they were actually exactly what I specified I did not want. Let me repeat, I specified that if they were going to look a certain way, I DID NOT WANT THEM. He told me they wouldn't, but they did. He worked on them to try to fix them a bit and told me to take them home to wear them. I did for a week and people who I did not know were starting at my teeth. It looked like I had put those fake Halloween vampire teeth in, only horse shaped. I went back to him a couple weeks later as I was out of town for a wedding I was in. The whole reason I got the piece made, it was not worn for it because it looked so awful by the way. He worked on it some more and told me about having it sent back to the lab to have it reshaped. The lab however will not redo the color for you. One of the main things wrong. I specified what color I wanted in pictures, and he told me which formula to choose to match them. It was not correct. When I did not want this done, because they would still not be made the way I had specified to him, he started to yell at me. For several minutes he yelled until I was sitting in the chair crying. I realize that may be hard to believe, but am not exaggerating that at all. Both my mother and his assistant were in the room. I never went back. After proceeding with the state and credit card company to get a refund, he had the audacity to email me telling me it was my fault I wasn't happy with the pieces, because I never came back to have them worked on further or have them returned within the 30 day period. First of all, one of the main problems, the color, the lab will not fix Secondly, why should I go back, after being treated that way? To make it short: He did not get me what I asked for, that cost me several grand. (I was lucky enough to win the case with a credit card company and get a refund) He yelled at me while I was in the office. He refused, and still does, to take fault for steering me in the wrong direction for the piece based on its color and shape. He is very arrogant and is 'always right'. I have no doubt that he means well. I don't think he maliciously did any of this. His arrogance aside, he really does try to make his patients laugh and puts their preference of music on. Regardless my experience with him was all unacceptable and unprofessional. In my opinion, if you need more than a cleaning, steer clear!!! ALSO::: notice all his positive reviews were posted shortly after my negative one, and they all start the same way!! read more

After years and years of incompetent, horrible dentists which have made me into the world's greatest dental phobic, I have found an incredible dentist - Dr. Spencer Bloom. Even though his offices are nowhere near my home I go to him because I trust him explicitly. and he is the absolute BEST! Dr. Bloom is extremely thorough, patient and highly skilled and takes his time to ensure that his work is perfect. He goes over each and every result after digital x-rays are done and explains the whys and wherefores of all future procedures. For once, I didn't feel that a dentist wasn't just trying to pad the bill with unnecessary work or just too lazy to take the time to save a tooth instead of extracting it. . An added plus is that it doesn't take months and months to get an appointment. Kim, the office manager and Dr. Bloom's wife, makes every effort to get you in to see him. His Chicago offices may not be Michigan Avenue fancy but his work and staff more than make up for it. I've had Michigan Avenue fancy and it never correlated to great care or a gentle hand. He also has an office in Northfield. Dr. Spencer Bloom www.drsbloom.com Chicago: 5530 W. Montrose 773.777.3309 Northfield: 330 Frontage 847.924.7119 WeCaterToCowards@sbcglobal.net read more

Let me just say that I am so grateful to Dr. Bloom for honestly changing my life. I am a horrible teeth grinder and it was starting to affect my life in pretty severe and debilitating ways. Migraines, muscle aches, neck tension, pinched nerves, everything you get with severe bruxism, not to mention the terrible things I was doing to my teeth! I was so miserable and desperate (I don't have dental insurance, hence my delaying a trip to the dentist, but for the record, my last visit was about a year prior to this, not like seven). I found him through the IMS directory, which I'm a member of, and decided to go to him because I liked his website the best out of the dentists in the directory (and there are a fair amount). He has 2 locations, both of which are convenient for me. My first visit to the Portage Park location was great. Only had to wait a few minutes while they made my chart and I filled out some forms, the usual. The office is really nice and his team is great. He plays whatever Pandora station you want while they work on your teeth. He is super nice and a little silly - loves jokes :P I told him about my horrible situation, and he was able to fit me in the next day at his other location in Northfield (super easy for me to get to from work at lunch) for a mouth guard fitting. Custom mouth guards are NOT cheap, that's why I still didn't have one at this point. Something unique about Dr. Bloom is that he has his own lab where HE makes the mouth guards. Most dentists don't do that. They usually send it off to be made. I know he does that for some of them depending on what kind of guard you need, but having his own lab is kind of unique. So 5-7 days later, I needed to have an old filling touched up, and my mouth guard would be ready. I was so excited to have some hope of relief. The filling went well, but the next chain of events are what totally set Dr. Bloom apart from any other dentist I've ever been to. Here they are: 1) As a horrible teeth grinder who experiences severe symptoms, he essentially sort of sanded my teeth with that dentist drill (wow, how very technical I am) so that when I moved my teeth in certain directions, they were no longer grinding against one another in ways that negatively impacted my teeth. My teeth felt exactly the way they always did, but the extra enamel that was basically bearing the brunt of my grinding and in turn putting extreme stress and pressure on my facial muscles, jaw, etc. wasn't there anymore. My teeth had felt sort of locked together for a long time and after this, it was like they were free and they weren't using the others as leverage anymore. No other dentist had ever suggested this to me, or had ever seemed to care about the damage I was doing to my teeth. They always told me to "keep an eye on it" (I have created some significant notches on a fair amount of my upper teeth as a result of this condition over about 4 years I'd say.) Yeah, I'll be sure to keep an eye on the damage I'm doing unconsciously in my sleep. 2) After Dr. Bloom worked this wonder of a procedure on my teeth, we moved on to the mouth guard (which to my surprise, was not affected one bit by the previous procedure). He made sure it felt right and also wanted to make sure certain areas didn't have contact with each other. He took great care to make sure it fit perfectly and made tons of minor adjustments so it would be just right. Bottom line, this is why Dr. Bloom is the best dentist I've ever been to: He is really passionate about teeth and dentistry, and he is more knowledgeable than any other dentist I've been to BECAUSE he is passionate about what he does. I feel like he thinks outside of the box and is pretty innovative. He wants your teeth and mouth to be healthy and for you to feel your best. And the BEST part is, my life is so much better. I'm so much happier, less stressed and irritable, no more daily headaches and physical pain! I feel like I'm back to normal, and am so incredibly thankful that I found Dr. Bloom!! read more

Dr Bloom is absolutely wonderful. I am terrified of dentists; I have no tolerance of pain, but Dr Bloom both cleaned my teeth and evened out both my top and bottom teeth and I didn't feel a thing. He also made me a night guard, and because I was leaving the area 2 days later, he had it ready for me the next day. He modified it until it was absolutely perfect. I can't say enough good things about him. He really is terrific. Anybody needs a dentist, go to Dr. Bloom!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Bloom for 20 years. He is hands down the BEST dentist I have ever been to....and I have never missed a 6 month check-up in my life (my mom is a former dental hygienist). Dr. Bloom also sees my 13 year old son and he loves to go get his teeth cleaned. I am hoping to instill great dental hygiene habits (including making dental visits a priority) in him, and Dr. Bloom is making that so much easier on this parent. My husband just started going to Dr. Bloom and he is quite impressed at the time he takes to explain all x-rays, issues, and clean his teeth. Dr. Bloom and Kim also do a lot of charity work for vets, the homeless, battered women, etc. Together, they are a great team who are dedicated, thorough, and fun! read more

Fantastic Dentist! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Bloom. I had a smile that I was embarrassed about, so I never smiled. Dr. Bloom patiently and carefully explained everything he was thinking about doing, frequently asked for my opinion and was gentle and caring during all the work. He truly went above and beyond anything I had expected or experienced with a dentist before. (Kim, his assistant is also super pleasant and I always looked forward to seeing her). Now I'm smiling constantly. read more

Dr bloom and kim are truly the best in business... They are always warm and welcoming each time I go in there. I am always relaxed and feel refreshed after each one of my visits. Dr bloom always makes going to the dentist fun with his little jokes and puns... I met dr bloom and Kim about 3 years ago and they changed my life.I had really bad teeth and decided to get the snap on smile. Words cannot express how happy he made me. I have the perfect smile for many years to come. He is artist and his attention to detail is out of this world. Dr bloom and Kim have watched me grow up over the years and I can always share my life experiences with them from graduating from college, getting engaged, and finally getting married and I look forward to starting a family and taking my children to them because I know they will be well taken care of. This past may I got married. They made my wedding day even more special bc he cleaned my teeth as well as my snap on appliance two days before the wedding and he made me look great in all of our pictures. He takes pride in his work and he has the proven track record to back it up with his countless awards. The snap on smile appliance is sooooo amazing its one of the best things ever created. The process that he took make it was spot on, they color, fit, size and shape were perfect. That goes back to his attention to detail. I highly recommend dr bloom...I always look forward to my appointments and look forward to seeing him again in 3 months. read more

I will absolutely never go to another dentist again. Dr Bloom and Kim are the most genuine, kind people I think you will ever meet. I have major anxiety issues and all of that subsided the minute they started to work on my teeth (deep cleaning... I hadn't seen a dentist in OVER 6 years because I was never comfortable with anyone). They will ask your preference in music and will turn it on, no matter what type it is. Dr Bloom always has a joke to tell. It doesn't matter how many times you hear the joke... it is always funny every time you hear it because Dr Bloom is always SO enthusiastic and proud when he tells it. My husband needed some major work done on his teeth and no matter WHAT TIME OF DAY... they always made us feel like we could contact them no matter what. They really do take pride in the work they do. I am not even anxious for my next cleaning. I honestly can't wait. They did such a great job taking care of me. If I could repay them I would. Hopefully this review helps :) read more
