Michigan Avenue Dental Associates

I can confirm others' critiques - very expensive, very long and very difficult to get anything scheduled, and Linda was rude. She seriously hung up on me when I said I didn't want to book an appointment with them at this time since they wanted nearly $1000 for treatment that cost $400 elsewhere. I was going to say I'd call back when I had a chance to review and think about it if she could send me the care plan, but wasn't given that chance. I also found the doctor's explanations to be thorough but borderline condescending. Otherwise, he was kind and knowledgeable (and had a good sense of humor). The only very bright spot of this entire office was the dental assistant. She is a lovely person who was gentle and accommodating during my assessment visit. I'd give here her own 5 stars if I could. She's the sole reason for anything above a 1 star.

Dentists are fine but the staff is incompetent. Be prepared to do their job for them. They will book you an appointment for a day they aren’t even open and they cancel with less than 24 hour notice. Happened to me twice.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE - IT IS A SCAM!!! Please read all other reviews after mine and you will find commonalities between all. 1. Appointment was 1:00 pm and the dentist saw me at 1:40 pm, I left the office at 3:00 pm and did not get anything done other than an assessment. 2. Receptionist had a tray of toothpastes sitting out for customers but she doesn't allow you to take more than one. Suggestion: take the tray behind the counter and give one to each customer as they leave to avoid disappointing a customer when you tell them they can't have more than one. Receptionist also refused to call my insurance to find out the exact amounts I would have to pay out of pocket. 3. Dentist told me that I mildly grind my teeth and needed a mouth guard that cost $242. Explained that my filling had chipped and instead of replacing it, I needed a porcelain crown for $386 with special cosmetic customization for $225. To remove my filling they were charging $150. Keep in mind these people were within n
