I can't say enough good things about Dental Hygienist Vanessa! I came in as a new patient feeling very nervous. My mental health hasn't been great, which meant my dental health had also fallen behind, and I was honestly a wreck walking in. From the moment I shared my struggles, Vanessa made me feel truly seen, not judged. By the end of my very first visit, I felt so comfortable and reassured. When I returned for a deep cleaning, I was dreading it. My gums were tender and since she needed to go under the gum line, Vanessa recommended numbing my mouth to make sure I didn't feel any pain. She constantly checked in to ensure I was comfortable throughout the process, and it truly made all the difference. I didn't feel a thing, the scraping felt far less intense, and I was shocked to have zero pain the next day. On top of that, she worked so quickly and efficiently that I left the office floating. For the first time in my life, I'm actually looking forward to the next part of my cleaning. I've never felt so welcomed at a dental office. Dr. Isabella was also amazing--she pointed out important things about my airway and mouth anatomy that no other dentist has ever mentioned, and connected them to symptoms I've been experiencing. She's already put me on a path to addressing issues that could really improve my overall health. If you're anxious about the dentist, behind on cleanings, or just want the best care possible, Vanessa and Dr. Isabella are truly the dream team. I'm so grateful I found them! read more

I was a brand new patient . I had tooth pain...made my appointment the night before and by 3pm today...tooth was fixed !!! Thanks read more

Good care, quality of care. Office management xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxc

Good customer service, really high prices. They also charge your card without asking.

I had a visit with Dr. Dan and Vanessa today. Vanessa did such a great job with me. She was patient and kept asking me how was I doing the whole time. Dr. Dan has always been great and very thorough. I'm excited and I feel very confident that will take great care of me. read more

In my search for a good and reasonable dentists I found Strobel Dentistry online. I checked reviews which were mostly positive so I decided to book an appointment. Prior to my appointment there was a red flag in that I was required to complete a number of forms and the first form was a statement that I would be required to pay fifty dollars per hour if I failed to provide two days notice of cancellation of an appointment. I was also asked to provide credit card information for the office to store and automatically charge my card. I asked the practice if they accepted my insurance prior to my visit but didn't read through all of the information which does state that they are "out of network" for all dental policies. That means they collect what your insurance pays and then bill your for whatever else they believe is reasonable. On the day of my appointment everything was fine. It was a standard cleaning and exam, nothing that I have not had dozens of times before. I had my previous office send x-rays so I would not be billed for additional costs. These services at all of my previous dentists office were covered and I was billed only for my deductible. There were no special services, no dental problems nothing out of the ordinary on this visit. I then received an e-statement from Strobel Dentistry for $147.00. When I called for an explanation I found that I was billed $130 for "Comprehensive oral evaluation" and $130 for "Prophylaxis-adult". That is $260 fee for routine exam and cleaning. Because my insurance paid the customary amount of $113.00, I was billed for the remaining $147.00. When I called for an explanation I was told that the office charges a higher amount because they take time to be careful in cleaning and exams. Isn't that part of the service and the obligation of the doctors? I pay $50 a month for dental insurance and it's my bad in not interrogating the office on how they charge before making the appointment. I will make this payment but would not return to Strobel Dentristy. The practice seems more focused on making the maximum by not being "in-plan" for any insurance, collecting from both the insurance company and then whatever they can collect from the patient as well. Strobel Dentistry: You may want to make the first document you provide a clear disclosure that you are "out-of-network" on all dental insurance so that patients do not have these surprises. read more

I'm back to give another update. Dr. Dan is still incredible. I just had a dental implant that I've been putting off for seven years. The procedure went very smoothly and quickly. I have extreme extreme extreme extreme panic attack style dental anxiety. Dr. Dan is the only person I have ever felt 100% safe and comfortable with to the point that I actually get excited to get the work done. I know that everything that is done at Strobel is being done with the best technology and a third generation dentist that is absolutely incredible. I was scared I was going to be in pain the next day. I didn't have to take pain medication at all. I can't believe I put this off for so long because I'm so excited to have my tooth back!! If you were on the fence about visiting Dr. Dan, just book with him. He's incredible and worth every penny. read more

By far the best dental services I've ever received which has kept me as a patient for a number of years. Never dread a visit with them as my teeth and gums feel super healthy after I visit them. What is more is the friendly and highly educated staff members and constant progression in dental technological advancements used at this institute. Furthermore, the dentists are kind, open, and honest with you about your oral health routine and what needs to be done. Fun fact--They even have their own dental insurance which is cheaper than what I would've paid as a self pay patient. Well worth every penny! read more

Updating my review back to the original rating. I spoke with the owner of the office. He listened to my complaints and took action to rectify the situation including offering me the portion of the money back that I paid for the accelerated treatment. I will be working with a different dental office and he has helped with this as well. read more

Quick and easy next day appointment. Thorough evaluation and explanation of oral health. Brooke was very attentive to our needs.

UPDATE: I moved home to Florida a few years ago, and returned to Chicago last year. Lots of things changed during my absence from the windy city, but not Strobel Dentistry, which I have happily reestablished as my go-to dental office. Dr. Dan is, of course, still wonderful, and must have a sixth sense about hiring phenomenal staff because, while many remain from my time here as a patient previously, there are some new faces as well - all of whom are as welcoming and compassionate as I had hoped when I came back. Dr. Dan's work is exceptional and his staff is amazing. I highly recommend. Again! read more

The dentist claim that i've never been is a lie. I'll even post an email from their office and phone call log to prove it. How can you look up patient information without a last name and birthday, anyway? If I hear about their 90 minute new patient consultation one more time, i will scream. I get them trying to show that they're being thorough, but what the heck are you doing with 90 minutes? That's just excessive and silly. Probably just ramping up charges for "fancy" scans not covered by insurance. Seriously, they think they're really showing off and pulling out the red carpet for their 90 minute initial exam, but if anything they're just scaring people off. Why would I want to stay at any dentist office for 90 minutes not getting actual work done? I can only imagine the up selling they do to you during that time. No thanks. read more

Strobel Dentistry - Doctor claims my bad review is because i've never been to the office. - General Dentistry Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went here today as a new patient. Welcoming staff and very pleasant ppl all around. I haven't been to the dentist in 4+ years. I was not embarrassed or made to feel awkward. The new patient exam was very thorough and the recommendations were spot on. BEST part of the experience was the cleaning. The Dentist, Dr. Isabella Terrassa, did the cleaning herself. I must say, it's the best cleaning I've ever had. She is excellent and very gentle. I schedule my work here and, am actually looking forward to my next appointment. read more

I had a cavity that needed filling. Apparently it was so bad that the dentist said we would need to shave down my tooth and put a cap over it (according to Dentologie on Grand). I've had plenty of cavities, a root canal, and even my wisdom teeth removed. Due to my experience, this felt a little off. To say the least, I felt like I needed to get a second opinion AND thank god I did. I went to Strobel dentistry because he has been practicing for nearly 20 years. I did not tell him about Dentologie. He said he could fill the cavity and he did, not problem. He said based on the X-ray, it was definitely deep but he knew there would be no problems based on his experience. I would like to add: not only did my red flags off at Dentologie, it was specifically because of the dentist. He looked very young so I asked him his age, he tried to joke around saying he wasn't young and he just had a baby face. I learned he was 27 and then I was really concerned because he was my age and I'm only 4-5 years post college, which means he is too which means he is fresh out of dental school.....anyways, due to his young age and lack of experience, I did not want to be his experiment for learning how to shave down a tooth and place a cap. Not only did the second opinion save one of my molar teeth's, it also saved me money and I avoided an unnecessary procedure. read more

An absolute gem. I wish I still lived in Chicago so Dr. Dan and Brooke could be my regular dental team! I got a small chip in an old crown just days before traveling to Chicago for a 3 month job. My dentist back home, who I love, took a look at it and decided it wasn't that bad and could probably wait until I returned home. Unfortunately, the first day I was in town, it cracked again, substantially. Faced with the daunting task of sifting through hundreds of dentists in the area, I was lucky to get a recommendation from a friend to call Strobel Dentistry. This is a totally modern, spotlessly clean office with all of the latest technology. And yet it completely retains an old school, family business style vibe that can be hard to find these days. I was treated with so much kindness and care from the moment I called, as if I was a long time patient instead of just a random person. They were able to fit me in first thing the next morning, and I walked out with a new crown in just under 2 hours! And it was so cool to watch my new crown being milled on site. I had worried that it would be very expensive given the shiny office and the location, but the price was actually slightly LESS than my dentist back home had quoted me. Amazing. Stop searching and just make an appointment here, you won't regret it. read more

Dr. Isabella and Evette are amazing. Prior to coming to Stroebel Dentistry, I expected that a trip to the dentist, especially cavity fillings, would always be at least moderately painful. I then made the mistake of avoiding the dentist for many years. My experience with Dr. Isabella was almost entirely painless, and anytime some sensitivity would crop up, she would stop and ensure I was completely numb before continuing. She was also able to save a tooth I was sure I would have to lose. My two visits with her have easily been the best experiences I have had with a dentist. read more

The Office and Staff - 5 stars - clean, friendly, wifi, bottled water. Very convenient location if you work downtown. I was able to get an appointment within a week. Dr. Terrassa - 5 stars. She answered my stupid questions without making me feel stupid for asking them. She was deeply concerned with any discomfort I had during my procedure. She was upfront about any potential hazards or side effects, and put no pressure on me whatsoever. The initial evaluation and cleaning I had was very thorough. More so than any other dental exam I have had. The doctor and the hygienist answered questions I didn't know I had. I am mostly writing this review to share my comments about the laser, since I was unable to locate any prior reviews that mentioned it. I developed a cavity in a spot where an old filling came out. The cavity was shallow. Prior to the procedure, Dr. Terrassa felt I would be a good candidate for the laser. The benefit of the laser is they do not need to numb you (in theory, so no needles). I decided to give the laser a try. Prior to the cavity filling I had a nightmare that I had a spasm and the laser took half my face off. Dr. Terrassa assured me that the beam of the laser does not go very far, so even if I had a spasm, there's no way that could happen. I was advised that the laser can cut your gums. I was surprised that the drill also needed to be used in addition to the laser. Somehow I had it in my head that the laser was a substitute for the drill. However, because I had an old silver filling in my tooth that needed to be removed, and could not be removed from the laser, Dr. Terrassa needed to use a combination of both the drill and the laser in the process of removing tooth decay and getting the old filling out. The laser uses cold water to both numb the area and cool the laser. So the doctor and the hygienist told me most people reported feeling a cold-type feeling and were able to get through the procedure without being numbed. I was advised the laser was not for everyone. Some people start with it and can't take the pain so they need to stop and go with the numbing and traditional drill. From what I gathered, the reviews around the office from prior patients were more on the mixed-positive side. The laser, for the most part, was OK. As the doctor got further down into the tooth, I could feel it more. It was kind of a stinging-cold feeling. There were instances were I could feel nothing, just the wetness from the laser. The pain was maybe at worst a 6 out of 10, and that was not for very long. Even though the pain was not all that bad, it was more the location of it that became an issue for me. Notably, when the drilling became uncomfortable, the doctor would switch back to the laser (if possible) and that would be much easier for me to deal with. So there is something to the laser, whether it was because it was numbing me or just a better tool for the spot. Overall, I preferred the laser to the drill. I think part of this is because I absolutely loathe the sound and smell of the drill. It takes me back to having cavities filled as a kid with "Oldies 98.1" on the radio and my dentist singing 50's and 60's classics into my mouth while he tortured me. Dr. Terrassa advised the drill and the laser take approximately the same amount of time. Benefits of the laser are potentially less pain and not needing to be numbed. By not being numbed, half your face does not go numb, resulting in your older sisters relentlessly making fun of you for hours. Plus, you can eat and drink right away, and feel your bite to tell the doctor whether the filling needs to be shaved down right away. In the future, if I have a deep cavity I will probably request to be numbed. That's just me though, and it sounds like other patients are more tolerant of mouth pain than I am. read more

Everyone here is insanely nice. They treat me with kindness even though I admit to being a chronic non-flosser ;) When I moved to Chicago, I was bummed about having to finally leave my childhood dentist. This practice made me feel right at home. Everyone was warm, and they are very thorough with their dental care. They answer all of my questions, and they are good about reminding me to floss even though, as mentioned before, I suck at flossing. We all have flaws, people. Dr. Terrassa even emailed me before my first appointment to ask if I had teeth questions. How sweet is that?! On another positive note, they got me in same-day for a chipped tooth a month or two ago. I really appreciated them being so flexible because it can be hard to handle emergency dental work. read more

I went to the same dentist since I was about 8 so when I needed to find one closer to where I lived, I was a little nervous. I ended up at some shady place that totally messed up my awesome chompers:( At the recommendation of my first dentist, I went to Strobel. They are awesome! Everyone in the office is so nice and they have a super nice, new modern office. (I get a little nervous at dentists/doctors whose offices look 1950s, not the case with these guys!). I love how they text you and/or email you now as reminders for your appointments. I have recommended them to everyone I know so I figured time to write a review! read more

I've been going to Strobel Dentistry for many years. Everyone who works there is upbeat and caring. Just came back from my first appointment since Covid and found their office and approach very Covid-avoidance safe. Because dental is not covered by my insurance I take part in their Dental Plan (which you can find info. on under their About page on their website) that covers 2 appointments a year plus xrays. I've also had old fillings replaced by Dr. Isabella and she made sure to use enough numbing medication. Seeing the folks at Strobel Dentistry is like visiting family. They are very supportive and thorough -- very trustworthy. Would highly recommend this practice. read more

I've been visiting Strobel Dentistry for 20 years, and I can truly say I'm in the best hands. They use the newest technology and patient-centered practices for the best overall care. I also appreciate their super responsive support staff. read more

Dr. Dan and Dr. Isabella are both great, including their dental hygienist Bridget. I have been going to Strobel Dentistry for decades, starting with Dan's father Greg Strobel. They pay attention and strive always fit perfection in their work. Dan and Isabella keep very current with the latest detail technologies and state of the art improvements. Besides being more than competent, they provide a pleasant work environment for their personnel and patients. Wayne read more

Dr Dan Strobel is carrying on the fine work of his Grandfather and father. Been a client since 1994 and Dan is simply amazing. Fixed a chip tooth in less than 30 minutes and it looks PERFECT. Thanks Dan and Brooke!! read more

I was a patient of Greg Strobel, an excellent dentist, for many years. After an absence I returned to find an office with many advances and a marvelously professional staff. Unfortunately that euphoric,warm and fuzzy feeling did not last long.I received a treatment plan from Dr. Isabella which included a dental chart that was supposed to be a snapshot of work to be done on my partial. However, it totally did not reflect reality.It had a host of mistakes that included showing teeth missing when they were actually there, alive and well.In addition, the chart showed teeth to be replaced that never existed. It was apparent that the Doctor did not do her do diligence. In the words of Yogi Berra,"we make too many wrong mistakes" I would guess that first year dental students would have recognized those mistakes. I sent emails listing each mistakes. In her replies she became intractable refusing to make any changes. Had I agreed to the treatment plan I would have been bilked out of many hundreds of dollars. When I went to what became my final appointment I showed the Doctor each mistake. She admitted to making the mistakes and did apologize. However when she refused to answer my question of "WHY?" I got up and left. Since my dental problems are time sensitive, I am now sifting through my friends recommendations and into the other 1700 dentists in Chicago to find a qualified dentist with integrity. In the past week, since I left the appointment, my anger has increased because of this situation created by a professional who do not perform professionally. read more

I would highly recommend Dr Dan and his practice! I have been a patient for many years and have received excellent care and professional service. The practice has grown greatly the last few years and the staff continues to provide great and trustworthy dental work. read more

Strobel Dentistry was recommended to me by a friend after I had a terrible experience with my previous dentist's office - and I am SO GLAD I came here!! I was under the impression that I needed a full crown after a root canal I recently had done, but Dr. Dan gave me a free consultation, took some x-rays and confirmed that I would be fine with just a partial crown; less drilling- woohoo! Dr. Dan and his whole team were so friendly and informative from the beginning, and took the time to patiently answer all of my questions about the process for my tooth as well as insurance. I just had my partial crown done this morning and it went so smoothly - Dr. Dan and Brooke did an amazing job. They have the technology to make crowns (and partial crowns) in-house and that only took about 8 minutes! I would HIGHLY recommend Strobel Dentistry to anyone looking for a dentist in Chicago who truly cares about its patients and doing the best job possible. read more

After waiting so long, I have decided to get invisalign done. I love the way they treated me, very professional and caring. I have been explained very how my treatment will look like. Its really amazing that I will be able to get sure smile in couples of weeks. Big thanks to Dr Dan and all other hygienists who have worked hard to take care of my teeth. Without their help I won't be able to accomplish my goal. I would highly recommend to get the rental treatment from Strobel Dentistry. I have been coming here for two years. Everythings going smoothly. Thank you guys again. read more

Dr Issabella is the best. She's patient thoughtful and kind. I'm a huge scaredy-cat of dentists. I avoided going until I was in pain and couldn't eat. Dr Issabella provided me amazing care and within a month I had all my immediate dental issues resolved. I even looked forward to my half year cleaning. The hygienist staff are thorough and helpful. Great qualities when you have a terrified patient. Well one year later and I willingly returned. I met with Dr Dan. He's not Dr Issabella but he provided a thorough inspection and listened carefully to my concerns. I have one cavity that will be resolved within a month. I'd highly recommend Strobel Dentistry read more

I have received excellent dental care from Strobel Dentistry. Leslie Scott is an excellent RHD. If you are looking for a good dentist you will not be disappointed in their work. read more

Bridget was awesome!! She is outstanding and took care of me with ease. Hope to have her again next time

The doctors and staff are lovely and care about the patients comfort and understanding of any problems. Great practice.

I just came from my semi-annual cleaning and examination (4/25/2022). Meghan did an excellent and thorough examination and cleaning, as well as taking X-rays. Dr. Dan added some additional elements to my 6-month exam and discussed the state of my dental health briefly and succinctly. At all times, I was politely, cordially and highly professionally treated. The office is in a classic building, but is obviously fully modernized. When I needed a crown a year or so ago, I was amazed that the Strobel Dentistry office could make the crown while I waited in their own 3-D printer. It went in like a charm and, after a few deft adjustments by Dr. Dan, fit and functioned perfectly. This dental office is a real resource for folks who live or work downtown or can easily make the trip, which is really most people in and around Chicago. read more

I went there today for a sinus lift and implant placement procedure. I was so nervous, my hands started shaking! Dr. Shango and her assistant Kimberly were AMAZING! They explained the procedure in detail and asked me if I had any questions. They handled me with care and asked me throughout the procedure if I was ok. I gave them a thumb up and they continued taking X-rays throughout just to make sure everything was positioned correctly. I was told I would be given 4 shots in my gums which terrified me but they numbed the area with a gel so much, I hardly felt even the first one. And she would give me a heads up before she did anything (ie. "you're going to feel a little pinch" and "you're going to feel a little pressure") In a little over an hour, the doctor said "all done" and I couldn't believe it. I had a few more questions so Kimberly took a few pictures of the area and showed me on the screen while explaining what I was looking at. The post-operative instructions were detailed too. I'm going back in 2 weeks for a follow up! I can't believe I was so nervous before! They changed my hesitance going to the dentist forever! read more

They are the most THOROUGH Dental Practice around. They really do look out for your current as well as long term Dental Health with the latest technology and access to expertise you may need in the future. They really take the time to discuss all of your needs!! read more

I had crown about year and a half ago - the crown was made by milling, new technology for on the spot crown, (They were calling "3D printing".), and the crown started getting brown about a month ago. As time goes by it got darker, noticed by my better half. As I have to go abroad next week, I called the clinic yesterday. They arranged this morning for the visit, - I was impressed by this quick action - and fixed the staining. Possibly, the outer protection of the crown became slightly rough, so the staining developed. I keep my fingers crossed for the fix, and thank for Dr. Strobel and the kind staffs. read more

I went to Dr Strobel for a second opinion after I was told I needed a crown on one of my teeth from another dentist. The office is beautiful, they have state of the art equipment and everyone was very friendly. I will now be going there for all of my dental needs! I definitely recommend! read more

For several years now I have hesitated with moving forward with proposed treatment with my previous dentist. Coming to Strobel Dentistry has been a very positive experience. Not only will I move forward with treatment but I have no doubt that Team Strobel will meet all of my oral health needs. Everyone at the office that I encountered from the initial phone call with Sharon to being greeted by Mike at the front desk and finally having my appointment with Dr. Dan Strobel and his assistant Mka has been so positive. Dr. Strobel's staff is very professional and friendly, they go above and beyond with their patients. Dr. Dan was exceptional in presenting my treatment options and helping come up with an oral health plan that would increase and improve my quality of life. I am pleased with the service here and highly recommend them. Thank you Team Strobel !!! Charles S. read more

The only dentist I go to in Chicago! So odd to say that I really don't mind going to Strobel. Dan and Greg are both great and everyone in the office is super nice. Greg was mentioned in the 2010 issue of Chicago Magazine's top dentists! Great location, great staff, great timing--I'm never in here more than 35 minutes for a cleaning! read more

Sharon is amazing! While boarding a flight from Seattle to Chicago we called several dental offices for a next day appointment during a layover at O'Hare. A sudden and severe tooth pain had the potential to ruin our vacation out of the country. Sharon was kind and extremely accommodating to get us an appointment first thing the next day, as we had a flight out later that evening. Upon arrival there was Sharon to greet us! My husband was quickly seen by Dr. Strobel who identified the problem, which was complex enough to require an endodontist. He magically got a same day referral to be seen minutes later across the street. The root canal was completed and we can now enjoy our vacation. This office saved our vacation and we are extremely thankful. I highly recommend this dental clinic to everyone! read more

Everything written by other reviewers is 100% true. Every single person at this practice is fantastically competent and amazingly friendly. If you need a dentist, I enthusiastically and with no reservations recommend Dr. Dan. read more
