Reviewers Say They Have Come for Years
Long-standing loyalty shows in nine reviews from self-described patients for life. One of its two dentists, Larry Hoffman, has been licensed in Illinois since 1968. It keeps plain office hours, 8 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday, so evening and weekend visits aren't possible.
