One- and Two-Star Reviews Are About Typical in Chicago

Weekday hours run 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday, with no weekend opening. Recent evidence is thin: 18 reviews were written in the last 12 months, 17 of them four- or five-star. The five one- and two-star reviews since October 2023 all predate that period; the reasons they give include a rude or dismissive dentist, insurance problems and pressure toward treatment the patient doubted.
