Dr. Deady is a fabulous dentist located in the southwest suburbs in Palos Park. When my family moved out to that area some years ago, we tried to change dentists, but recommendations from family members yielded few results. The dentists we contacted in Orland Park weren't accepting referrals, and generally had a bit of a 'tude, to boot. My mom, brother, and I were resigned that a move to the 'burbs would mean the eventual decay and loss of our teeth. But thankfully, we took a chance on a name my mom came across, and found Dr. Deady.
The office is small, but has a large clientele, yet is somehow seldom busy. I don't think I've ever had to wait for my appointment--generally, when I arrive, my hygienist is the one waiting on me! I especially like that the same hygienist takes care of you every time, and that the staff and dentist all seem to remember small details about my family ("How's your brother and sister in law?") and interests ("Ugh, those White Sox"). Nor does anyone try to engage me in conversation while their hands are in my mouth. They're especially mindful of the fact that things hurt, and don't approach my teeth with an accusatory attitude like some dentists, but instead, gentle reprimands ("You know, you really do need to floss"). My mom has a deep seated fear or dentists, but somehow, she's even warmed up to them, and I appreciate the fact that they're not at all pushy or mean. Speaking of flossing, the finale of a teeth cleaning there is when the hygienist actually flosses for you, and as I have 2 permanent retainers, it's a welcome touch. This is far too long of a review for a dentist, but one last thing--integrity. Dr. Deady overheard me wondering about teeth whitening services, and not only took time to explain them, but actually dissuaded me against spending the money, as he stated that my teeth were actually in great shape as they are. Awww.
Even changes in address and dental insurance (or lack thereof) haven't been able to pry me away from Dr. Deady and his awesome staff. Although making appointments the full 6 months in advance is a little daunting, it's worth it for clean, shiny teeth and a staff that doesn't seem to hate their jobs--or my teeth. read more
