Warning: dental talk ahead…read more About nine years ago, I had my top two wisdom teeth out. They'd emerged through the gum, they weren't particularly bothersome, but they were crowding my mouth a bit, so out they came. It was a relatively easy surgery, I drove myself home, napped on the couch, and ate jell-o for two days. At the time, both of my lower wisdom teeth were far below bone and gum, and I was told that if they stayed there, they could be left alone indefinitely. Ahh, but did they stay put? I think you know the answer to that. No, the lower right one started to come through, and starting a couple years ago I was told they should come out soon. Finally, after getting decent dental coverage, I decided it was time. This is the oral surgeon my dentist referred me to, so I didn't have much say in the matter, but it's close to home, which I definitely appreciate. After my regular dentist's dated office, I was pleased to see that this building is modern and comfortable. Nice waiting room with a couch and leather chairs, and while there was no TV to distract me in the exam room, I was able to listen to music on my phone to distract myself. The assistant/hygenist was very nice, she explained what was happening and asked if I was OK a few times (I may have looked a little nervous?). The oral surgeon, Dr Forfar, was pleasant and efficient. He looked at my x-rays and decided only the right one needed to come out; the left one is not hurting anyone and the root is near a nerve. I was very happy to hear that, since I'd been dreading the left side more. Cut to 20 minutes later, I was outta there, with a couple prescriptions, a post-op folder, and a checkup appointment for the following week. While I will never be a fan of dental work, I have to say Dr Forfar's office made the whole experience about as good as it could be, and if you need to have work done, it's as good a place as any. (Note: they also have offices in Wheaton and Schaumburg.)

Let me start off by saying that Dr. Forfar is nothing but absolutely amazing!!! I was referred to…read moreDr. Forfar because of a broken jaw.

I've worked with both Dr. Kalokhe and Dr. Wong at the Downers Grove location in 2024-2026 and many…read moreyears ago in their former Chicago location for diagnostics, root canal, and apicoectomy. This review is based on many years of experience. They did a good job giving me different options for treatment -- both what my general dentist recommended and alternatives. For example, while my general dentist thought a tooth could not be saved, the apicoectomy performed by Dr. Wong was able to avoid extraction. Both did a good job explaining my situation in a direct manner. Dr. Wong has a big personality but he backs it up with professional work. They provide insurance and out of pocket estimates so you know what you'll pay for different options.

This review is based on my two experiences. My first experience with Dr Jukas was great…read more Unfortunately my 2nd experience w Dr Wong was not. Due timing and pain I took the first avail appointment with Dr Wong. I waited one hr for my appointment to start. I could hear Dr Wong w his other patient talking. Sounded like he Spend more time talking about his Telsa, cars, etc versus patient treatment. Which is fine if that patient was ok with. But I am sitting in the next room still waiting for my consult which is already one hour late. Dr. Wong didn't acknowledge or apologize for the long wait. Without looking at my mouth, a 2 sec look at the X-ray rambled a lot of confusing information. He spent more time on making notice of how my hair was done, looking at my shoes, ear rings etc, which became uncomfortable. Dr. Wong was very arrogant, and what he claims is his ice breaker was to ask about my nationality.... He questioned my last name and asked if I was sure my last name was from the ethinicity. Than he questioned if i was married. My nationality is and was irrelevant to the purpose of my visit. He clearly has not had any DEI training. Dr Wong didnt believe his ice breaker is/was culturally insensitive and told me that I was sensitive and he would make note of it. Dr Wong than went to use a common foods in my culture as an analogy to describe my issue. Dr Wong was all over the place explaining the treatment place, bc in the middle of his explaination he kept making comments about my look... which he justified as being "observant". He should be more observant in the care he provides not a persons looks including the items they are wearing. His front desk couldn't explain the itemize bill or what they call care plan Dr Wong was ready to take my tooth out that minute bc they said he was quick and had an opening. They could clearly see I was confused by what was going on. I declined to take action bc I needed to consult my dentist bc I was surprised by Dr Wong saying I had a bacteria eating away at my bone. After thinking over and waiting for the email plan, I called back for an appointment w Dr Jurkas as a 2nd opinion since I had a good and educational experience for my first root canal. I clearly remember Dr J saying why try to save the tooth first. To my surprise Dr Wong called me bc they shared w him that I was not happy w my experience w him and wanted a 2nd opinion. I brought to Dr Wong's attention the above concerns I did not like. Dr Wong was condescending by responding some ppl are slow to understand. I stopped him there and again brought to his attention his rude and unprofessional response. During our call when I brought to his attention the insensitivity of my culture he thought it was ok bc he had a lot of friend in the "x" culture. I than brought to his attention that is not my culture... He clearly was looking at my file picture and again made and assumption. He didn't catch it on his own that he was associating me w another culture when i was telling him what my culture was. Dr Wong was very arrogant and rude to say Dr Jurkas was not going to be able to do the work I needed and that he works under him. Dr Wong response was a narcissist response. I decided to end the call by saying I need To take my services somewhere else. I asked for the email w the recap if his consult I still hadn't received it. 10 min later Dr Wong called me back I sent him to voicemail bc I was working. To my surprise I get a unprofessional text message saying... "I know you are screening calls."To close the loop I acknowledge the email being received: I thought we were done...No he calls me again... now this was starting to be harassment. I picked up the call and just listen to Dr Wong ramble... "I can give you recommendations for a new consultative exam. " Than he started to explain to me what should've happen day one. The worse, worse experience by one Dr Wong. Which is unfortunate bc my experience w Dr J was pleasant. Dr Wong clearly wanted my money versus helping understand what is in my best oral interest

Five-Star Review for Dr. Michael W. Bennett - Grove Dental, Downers Grove…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Michael W. Bennett! I had a dental emergency when a veneer on my front tooth, which was done by a previous dentist, cracked in half. My previous dentist had retired, so Dr. Bennett was new to me. He took me in right away, even though I didn't have an appointment, and repaired my existing tooth. I was very emotional when I called because it was my front tooth, and I was worried about how it would look. Dr. Bennett came through with flying colors! Not only did he fix my tooth, but it actually looks even better than the original. I am so grateful for the care he gave me and the way he handled my emergency. Going to a new dentist can be a little unsettling, especially when you're dealing with something as important as your smile, but Dr. Bennett has made me feel completely comfortable and confident in choosing him as my new dentist. Thank you, Dr. Bennett, for your kindness, professionalism, and excellent work. I couldn't be happier, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful dentist. Five stars aren't enough!

my family and i left this dentist due to them always pushing services we didn't need. I went back…read morethinking they may have changed. I had a root canal done by them many years ago and was never done right. I always complained at every cleaning. they suggested a tooth extraction. so when I returned I still complained about it throbbing all the time ever since I had it done. pain is manageable with ibuprofen. the doctor walked in tapped on my tooth asked if it hurt I said no it just throbs all the time. she says "you grind your teeth " and left the room. like why don't my other teeth hurt. I didn't get a chance to ask because she just turned and left the room

Fast, Painless, and Very Professional. I guess not that many…read morepeople rave about their dentist. Well this is my 2nd positive post on Dr. Balcerak and his staff. I had my 2nd extraction by him yesterday. When he was making me numb, he said that was the hardest part, and the 2 needles he gave me did not hurt at all. Then he came back about 10 minutes later, and in less than 45 seconds my tooth was out. It's now about 28 hours later - I have had no pain at all, no swelling, virtually no bleeding. In fact, other than having one less tooth, I have no negative after effects. The staff was great, especially his nurse Jeanette, who was very patient and explained everything to me, and the front desk people are all great. About 25 hours after the extraction, I got a surprise call from Gilliana, asking me how I was doing. I must have seen a dentist about 100 times in my life, and I never ever got a call from anyone's office asking me how I was doing. Dr. Balcerak shook my hand after the procedure, and not too many dentists have ever offered me a handshake. I would definitely rate Dr. Balcerak and his staff as the very best. Thank you Dr. Balcerak. Seymour Wasserstrum

Front desk staff is very rude and dismissive. When these concerns were brought to the attention of…read moreDr. Balcerak, he did not even want to know my concerns and dismissed me. I feel that he might be too busy and not in need of any new patient's or maybe he does not care anymore.
