I never understood why people winced at the mention of going to the dentist...that is, until I left the wonderful hands of Dr. Ferrarri and ventured out into the world of other dentists. There are dentists, and then there is Dr. Ferrarri. He is the epitome of everything you would want in a dentist. I can attest to that with confidence now that I've experienced otherwise. Congenial demeanor, sincere concern for your comfort, accomodating, quick, gentle, if not painless, accurate and professional. He's made time for me on Sat. a.m. emergency visits. Corrected other dentists' damage to my teeth. He crafted me a wonderful veneer, taking pain-staking effort to match the color and opaqueness of my other teeth. Very important, since it's my large front tooth. I've been going to him since before braces. Now, I'm 24 and after a 4 year hiatus, I'll definitely be a lifelong client as long as I'm in the Chicago area!
