What recent reviews say

Patients consistently praise the team's warmth and Dr. Kaufman's patient approach to treatment planning and explanation. Emergency appointments happen fast, cleanings leave teeth feeling notably improved, and regulars report decades of reliable care.

Billing practices create friction: surprise charges appear months after appointments, credit card fees apply, and staff deflect via phone rather than addressing concerns in writing. This tension between exceptional clinical care and administrative frustration marks the experience.

Praised for
  • friendly and caring staff
  • gentle and thorough cleanings
  • patient and attentive dentist
  • same-day emergency care
  • clear explanations and communication
Watch-outs
  • billing confusion and surprise charges
  • credit card processing fees
  • poor email responsiveness on billing issues
  • occasional staff rudeness

Dr. Fayz and her team consistently deliver calm, explanatory care. Patients consistently mention feeling at ease during procedures, appreciated being walked through each step, and praised staff responsiveness during healing. They handle periodontal work, implants, extractions, crown lengthening, and gum grafts. Dr. Fayz speaks Spanish. The practice operates since 1992 in Hyde Park and follows ADA, OSHA, and CDC standards. One note: occasional hour-long waits, though staff flexibility with running late was appreciated.

Two reviews over six years offer limited evidence. Both praise staff warmth and quick care. One mentions a child with dental anxiety felt comfortable; the other notes poor parking access and suggests facility upgrades would help.

Staff greet patients warmly and stay calm under pressure; Bianca and Zaleaka at front desk are known for remembering patients, calling on weekends, and helping with insurance and anxiety. Procedures happen fast and costs stay low. A handful of bad experiences (wrong hours, outdated equipment, one orthodontist complaint) weigh against overwhelmingly positive feedback. Dental work is praised as gentle and thorough, especially extractions and cleanings. The business states it serves Chicago, Elgin, Hyde Park, Oak Lawn, and surrounding areas. Some reviewers note newer competitors have better imaging technology, though most patients remain loyal.
