I want to start by saying I rarely leave reviews, but this one feels extra important. Referrals are…read morethe best way to find a great doctor, and I truly want people to be able to find a dentist as good as I did. Dr. Dow has completely changed my view on dentistry. I used to dread going to the dentist, and I had a lot of anxiety around it, but he has completely eased that. Now I actually enjoy going because of him and his team. He goes above and beyond his role to make sure you're not only taken care of, but genuinely comfortable. You can tell he truly cares about you as a patient and as a person - not just as a number or a paycheck. As someone who has had severest of autoimmune disease issues and life altering anxiety a very long time, I've experienced both really great doctors and really disappointing ones. This is actually the first review I've ever left because I think it's important for people to understand the difference... and Dr. Dow is exactly what a doctor should be. I had been searching for a dentist for almost a year after moving to Chicago in 2023, and I'm so glad I didn't settle for anyone else. They are the absolute best. His team even calls after certain exams or procedures just to make sure I'm doing okay... which is honestly unheard of these days. If you're looking for a professional, highly skilled, and incredibly knowledgeable dentist, you've found the right place. And if you want someone who truly values you and your time and goes above and beyond for his patients, this is 100% your doctor. I'm genuinely excited to continue a lifelong partnership with Dr. Dow as my dentist--and you should absolutely do the same. Him and his team are unmatched!

I reached out online and told them how much pain I was in. They took my pain seriously, emailed me back quickly, and booked an appointment for me with short notice. I was embarrassed because I knew my teeth were in bad shape. But everyone I talked to from beginning to end was so warm and friendly that I felt comfortable right away. After Dr. Schoening examined my teeth, I was referred to an oral surgeon (who was also excellent) to deal with some teeth that couldn't be saved. And Dr. Schoening came up with a plan to get my other teeth in good shape. I had a deep cleaning, which must have been a real chore for Dr. Schoening with how bad my teeth were. But Dr. Schoening never made me feel ashamed. He made sure I was physically comfortable as he worked, and he did an excellent job on my teeth. I'm so relieved to have found such an excellent dentist, and the entire team is incredible. My teeth feel and look a lot better. I've got my next appointment scheduled in 3 months, and I plan on coming back again and again. Also, the views from the dentist chairs are fantastic!

I've been to their office for exams, cleanings, fillings, a root canal, crowns, and other procedures. The dentists, hygienists, and assistants are highly knowledgeable, use state-of-the-art equipment, and are kind, patient, and genuinely empathetic. They take the time to listen, answer questions, explain procedures clearly, and make sure I feel comfortable throughout every visit. Two other aspects I appreciate: * Clear communication with an explanation of the issue, a comparison of available options, and an easy-to-understand treatment plan with detailed cost estimates. * On-site services such as same-day crowns and root canals. Dr. Plesh, Jasmine, Kaylee, Oksana and everyone on their staff have been extremely kind and knowledgeable. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars - they are on another level than any other dental practice I've been to.

My dental hygienist, Kaylee, was exceptional, incredibly thorough while still making the cleaning completely painless. She explained everything she was doing and took the time to walk me through additional care options to help get my oral health back on track, which I really appreciated. Dr. Plesh was also very kind and welcoming. I was a little nervous because I had not had a cleaning in over a year, but there was zero judgment. Instead, the focus was on solutions and helping me feel good about improving my gum health moving forward. I will also be starting Invisalign with them to correct some shifting that happened over the past few years, lesson learned about wearing retainers. The team made the process feel easy, and they seamlessly scheduled my next cleaning before I left. They are professional, considerate, and flexible. They really worked to accommodate my needs. I definitely recommend Lakeshore East Dental Arts if you are looking for a dental office that combines expertise with genuine care.

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!

I can't say enough good things about this doctor or his staff. He's the only dentist I would trust now. In my first visit, he told me that I would need a crown on my back tooth. I thought he was trying to con me because I'd been to a couple of different dentists for other issues in the past couple years and none had mentioned that before. I got three other opinions of very trusted doctors. All other opinions told me the tooth was fine. One opinion said he would recommend just replacing the filling in the tooth since it was old. I had more x-rays done - everything - everything looked fine. Well, that dentist went in to replace the filling and was very surprised after he took the filling out and realized I did indeed need a crown. He hadn't prepared for a crown so he just did a super deep filling. A few months later I went back to Chicago Smiles to get the crown done and they did a fantastic job. I'd never had one before but had heard stories of sensitivity issues or other issues post-crown. I had none of those. I felt as though he really took his time with me and very much appreciated it. Wouldn't go anywhere else now.

I did not realize that this was a procedure that must be done by endodontist. I also thought that since he was saying that he could do it he wasn't endodontist. So obviously the retreat of my root canal failed. And now I have to go see a specialist to have it fixed, and I'm just irritated with that because I wouldn't have to be doing this if he would have just given me the referral to go to and endodontist in the first place like I asked. I really hate when doctors or dentists or medical professionals take advantage of customers just so that they can get money as opposed to giving them information or pointing them in the direction that's going to give them the best health care possible. I am a single mother and an artist and I ended up spending $2500 out of my own pocket for work that will do me no good, that I have to get repeated now. Also , and this might be a thing with male dentist thing, or maybe because I'm an African American and studies show that the vast majority of white medical professionals do terrible when it comes to the pain management of black patients... But when I would tell him that I was in pain he would just tell me to stop moving or brush off the fact that I was in a lot of pain. After I left his office a lot of times I just had to lay down for 1 to 2 days because the pain was so bad. The last straw was when I started to get the feeling that I was being pushed to get dental work that was not absolutely necessary. And after I had all of the dental work done that was recommended, out of nowhere he said that I need another crown, after I had just gotten three crowns from him. And I told him that I wanted to wait for a later date to get that done, and after I said that he had this really dismissive attitude about any other questions that I had in regards to my teeth. But at that time I didn't have any more money to pay for a crown, because I had gone into debt paying for the dental work he already did... I mean it's in a nice building so....

You know you're in trouble when the practice has a logo and the doc always has a great tan! Dr. Grimley consistently pushed for unnecessary xrays, sealants, replacing old amalgam fillings etc. When I had pain in a molar after he'd replaced an old amalgam filling 6 mo's earlier, he told me it now needed a root canal and crown. $2000 later (1000 to root canal guy), the tooth still gives me trouble. Nothing was wrong with this tooth until he replaced the filling! The crown he fitted is lousy and he had to grind it down to the point where it no longer feels like a normal molar. His response is consistently, "oh well it happens." Avoid this guy at all costs. UPDATE: 3 years later, Grimley notices my review and posts a picture proving my points about the tan and logo. Sorry doc, but I most certainly was a patient.
