    Dr. Khan is spectacular. He made the absolute best of a horrible situation. I could not have asked…read morefor a better service and treatment of my pulled tooth. This was during the pandemic and he seemed to take COVID-19 more seriously than other places. A year after the pandemic the place has good practices with air sanitizers, masking, and cleaner. Every visit was professional and people were in a good mood. Only note I have does not have to do with Dr. Khan. I came here because another place pulled my tooth. I refused to go back after I found out that an option was to redo the root canal. Yes, that's possible even if it's already been root canaled. The other place did not explain that an implant is a "best we can do" replacement, not an exact replacement of a real tooth with your original gum outline. Dental insurance does not cover an implant, and they made it seem like it would be more cost effective if I get it pulled. I can afford a few grand to keep all my original body parts! Point is a retreatment should be done, the chances of it failing are not 100%, a tooth pulling should not be the next option after a root canal. I still have some random light discomfort. I would have no problem getting an implant if a retreatment failed, but because of a bad second opinion, I have a fake tooth with me until am dead, or medical science figures out how to grow teeth again. To be clear, the place that pulled my tooth put me in this situation, and Dr. Khan was not involved in that. He was excellent and I have already recommended someone to him. I wish I went to him when I had the problem tooth so I could have saved it even for only a dozen more years.

    I had my teeth cleaned and it was great service. The office team was very friendly and helpful…read more When done with cleaning Dr Khan always comes in to check on me and looks at X-ray's and my mouth to make sure I know how my teeth look and what will be needed in the future. I was referred to Dr Khan by a very good friend and I'm very happy that I went to him.

    If you're looking for a dentist who will put a smile back on your face, your search ends here…read more Dr. Mendez is unequivocally the best doctor I have EVER seen! You might ask, "What sets him apart from other dentists?" He has all the professional skills of the best in the field, and keeps himself educated on the latest in innovative dental practices by regularly attending conferences. More importantly, he has compassion for his patients. He will set you at ease whether you are facing a simple checkup and cleaning, or a complicated procedure. He will explain procedures to you without an air of condescension. He also makes himself accessible to his patients. I've never had a problem scheduling an appointment. Not all doctors will see patients during non-office hours for emergencies, but Dr. Mendez's concern is to alleviate pain. Most people dread going to the dentist. Perhaps that has been your experience in the past when scheduling a dental appointment. Try giving Dr. Mendez a call and I bet your perspective will change. If you don't live near the Northwest Suburbs, it still would be worth the drive. Even if I moved out of state, I'd still go see him.

    Great dentist ! Very nice. Very knowledgeable. I came in with a lump in my mouth, worried it could…read morebe cancer. He gave me good information after examination and referred my to the proper surgeon. Very personable! Also, instead of just telling me I don't brush well like other dentists, he spent a lot of time teaching me how to PROPERLY brush and made sure I understood before ending the visit. Great experience.

    Awful experience that I had a few years ago and still think about to this day. My jaw now clicks…read moreevery time I open it and I was not able to eat anything for 2 weeks after because I could not open my mouth. Truly a awful place

    On 09/29/23, I had an appointment with Dr. Kanter for the removal of my four wisdom teeth. I am,…read moresuffice it to say, disappointed with the outcome, and was made to feel objectified while under his care. While I understand that medical procedures can sometimes be unpredictable, my experience left me with several concerns. During my appointment, Dr. Kanter, allegedly, encountered difficulty in finding a vein for the administration of anesthesia. He poked me several times in each arm, 4-5 in total, without success. I have a fear of needles, and was very lightheaded, near fainting, after these attempts. Dr. Kanter then asked if he could remove my wisdom teeth using only local anesthetic. I said yes, and received 4 painful novocaine shots to my lower jaw only. When he began, I could feel what he was doing. I made noise, and was visibly crying, but couldn't speak due to the numbing of my lower jaw. Due to the pain and trauma of the experience, Dr. Kanter only removed one of my wisdom teeth during the appointment. Throughout the appointment, Dr. Kanter and his assistants commented not only on my weight, but also on the scarring I have on my arms. They spoke about me as if I were not sitting right in front of them, and I could not say anything, as my mouth was numb. Afterwards, I was prescribed a day's worth of painkillers. The numbing began to wear off very quickly, and I was in extreme pain. Two hours later, my pharmacy had yet to receive the prescription. My mother called, and Dr. Kanter's office informed her that they were not at fault, and nothing could be done. Shortly after she called, the order arrived at my pharmacy, which I found to be somewhat suspect. I was hoping for a smoother experience, considering the nature of the procedure and the discomfort associated with wisdom teeth. Communication during the appointment was abysmal, and I wasn't prepared for the change in plans. I believe that it's important for medical professionals to be well-prepared for a range of scenarios, and while I understand that complications can arise, I was left with trauma from this experience. I strongly encourage others to exercise caution with Dr. Kanter and make their own judgments.
