(Trouble, basically, being 5 appts to take care of a mere 3 fillings. 2 appts to do the fillings, and 3 trips to fix mistakes.) That being said, all the reviews on this site appear to be about Dr Rob Wier Sr. (who is no longer in the business) and none about Dr Rob Wier Jr (who is currently running the practice). Cant find a place to review Dr Rob, Jr. :( So, yeap, I got in the chair thinking I was sitting with the aforementioned Dr Rob, and instead I got the latter. A very nice man, no doubt, but 5 trips later I saw my error. Am again on the market for my "local denist."

I was going to the dental salon for a few years before coming here and loved them too but made an appointment here earlier this year in the summer when my son got knocked in the mouth by accident with a laser tag gun during a birthday party and could not get an appointment at the Dental Salon to get his tooth checked for trauma. Dr Wier took us in right away to check and X-ray the tooth and I was so happy with the receptionist's (Vicky) friendly service that I scheduled cleanings for myself and my 3 kids in the fall. My 3 & 4 year olds loved their check up and keep asking when they can go back for a check up again, and my son loved them too so I forced my husband (who hadn't been to the dentist in years) to get his check up with them. My husband was blown away and was very pleased by their service. Fast forward to April 2014... All my kids and my husband and I have had check ups and cleanings. They were super thorough! I've never had such a thorough check up so I then scheduled myself for a simple procedure to fix a tooth and Dr. Kalkanas has been wonderful! I've been serviced by multiple staff members and they wear ALL consistent with their great friendly service!: Thanks, Dr. Wier Dr Kalkanas Receptionist: Vicky Diana, RGH Toureen, RGH Betty, RGH You guys are awesome!

I truly appreciate his attention to detail and commitment to preserving the aesthetic authenticity of my teeth. I plan to work with Dr. Stein to replace some old fillings that I had filled by my previous dentist. I have also started an Invisalign treatment with Dr. Stein. Currently 6 months into the treatment and already seeing significant improvement in the alignment of my teeth. Dr. Stein has always been very transparent and forthcoming in regards to both the cost and my expectations of the final result. He was able to provide me with a computer animated 3D-model of my teeth so I can track the progress of the movement with each Invisalign tray. It's a really neat tool that helps me visualize the drastic improvement in my smile from start to finish. Overall- I highly recommend Dr. Stein and look forward to many years of bright and happy smiles thanks to his fine work.

The girl that cleaned my teeth was pretty rough, but I was very pleased. That was about the best of my time there. Dr. Krinsky checked out my teeth, said everything looked good and immediately the young tech jumped up asking things like "well what about here?" or "what about this?" I get being young and eager, but when good old Krinsky starts hemming and hawing like he was clearly unsure, then saying "yea I guess so.." that's when I become suspect. I wasn't born yesterday, clearly you're fishing for work. ALL of a sudden after he first said my teeth looked great, backtracked and now said I needed two fillings. My mother was with me and had a similar experience. Nothing was said to her during her appointment but when we went to leave it was the front desk ladies in fact that informed her she needed to schedule a second appointment for fillings. Wait a minute!! Why are we hearing this from the receptionist and not the dentist? The entire experience sat uneasy with me so I never returned for fillings or a followup visit. Fast forward 2-3 years, (terrible - I know) I go to a different dentist and explain my last experience. It was then that she confirmed everything I felt to be true. She explained that I did need one small filling but there was no way it existed back then. She completely validated my feelings and agreed that sometimes dentists could be a little shady. She went through my X-rays and pointed out all of the spots to watch for, and even the small cavity that I had - something Krinsky NEVER did. I cannot believe that man is still in business.

TL;DR: The new ownership kept the practice name and patient data, but entirely voided warranties on…read moreprevious dental work. They charge exorbitant, out-of-network prices and operate with a strict profit-first mentality. Save your money and go elsewhere. I am sharing my experience to warn both returning and prospective patients about the current business practices at Stephens Dentistry. Four years ago, I had a crown placed at this office for almost $2000. Recently, the crown prematurely cracked and failed. When I contacted the office to have it addressed, I was informed that because the practice is under "new ownership," any previous warranty is completely void. They strategically kept the practice's established name, reputation, and all patient records (down to using the same email address!) to maintain business continuity, but legally shielded themselves from any accountability or warranties on previous dental work. Their idea of a "goodwill gesture" was a mere 10% discount on a replacement crown, bringing the cost to over $1,800. This is absolutely exorbitant and roughly twice the price of what other dentists in the Evanston area charge for equivalent or better work. When you pay top dollar for dental work, you expect exceptional quality and accountability for their work, but Stephens Dentistry offers neither. To anticipate the practice's likely response to this review: in addition to bluntly stating they voided all past liabilities due to the ownership change, they will probably also claim they cannot honor the warranty because I haven't been back for regular cleanings at their specific practice over the last four years. I have maintained my dental hygiene, just not with them. Why? Because Stephens Dentistry is out-of-network for basically all insurances and outrageously expensive. The previous management once admitted to me their fees were intentionally set at the 85th percentile of local practices, and it is abundantly clear the new ownership operates with the exact same "cash cow" mindset. In a university town like Evanston, operating with such an unscrupulous, profit-first mentality is deeply disappointing. If you are a long-term patient, be aware that your past warranties mean absolutely nothing to the new owners. If you are a new patient, be prepared for highly inflated pricing. I have decided to take my business elsewhere and strongly advise others to do the same.
