I'd been going to an expensive, modern dentist in the Gold Coast since I moved to Chicago, 10 years ago. Regular cleanings every 6 months, regular x-rays, fluoride treatments, all these extras I wasn't even aware I was paying for and didn't need. 2 years ago they find a cavity between two teeth, which resulted in a crown being put in. 2 years later they find another cavity between two other teeth and say I may lose the tooth, as well as a cavity beneath the crown they'd just put in a couple years ago. Really?
So I visited my wife's dentist, Dr. Sklar. Come to find out the crown was improperly put in, leaving a gap, causing a cavity. I have a concave tooth beside the tooth and instead of correcting the crown, my last dentist just threw it in and called it a day. As a result, I was always using floss and a Waterpick. I'd have never known, other than when Dr. Sklar had my new crown made, the lab did the same thing and sent the tooth without a convex side to fill that void. Fortunately, Dr. Sklar has a tech on premises who can add to the porcelain. Dr. Sklar then carefully shaped the tooth and now it fits like a glove. I highly recommend Dr. Sklar. His office may not be flashy, but he cares about his patients. Sincerely.
About Front Desk: Very friendly. The wait was not long and even one time I got in early. They are very accommodating here and don't leave you standing around waiting to process your visit or pay a bill. Very efficient and a comfortable waiting room to boot.
About Hygienist: Bonnie is my hygienist. Fantastic woman. She and Dr. Sklar have been working together for as long as they have been in business. They are seamless together. It's as if they can predict what the other needs or is even about to say. Great hygienist. Best I've ever had and I've only been going to this practice for a month. Granted, It was three visits in one month, so I feel comfortable saying that..
