Excellent dentist with up to date facilities and trained hygienists. He uses state of the art technology but often treatment costs seem higher than other dentists in the area. Also, great views of lake and bean, but being downtown on Michigan Avenue, street parking is impossible and lot parking difficult and expensive. Some Sat. hours. Costs seem on the high side in comparison with other dentists in Chicago and also given what insurance companies customarily contract for with member dentists. Also, he has "unbundled" the normally flat rate costs of some services, like a temporary crown, or office fluoride treatment given at a routine cleaning, leading to extra unexpected charges, at times explained in a less than transparent seeming explanation. Doctor may charge separate for seeing a patient at a routine cleaning. However, we like that he often does cleanings. That being said he is really a great cosmetic dentist, meticulous, a perfectionist, very clean, caring, knowledgeable, professional, aesthetically aware, passionate and up to date. He is also a family man who enjoys what he does and does it well. We recommend him but one should discuss procedure costs, maybe seek written pre-treatment estimates if worried about fees.
