I'm not sure if they're short staffed or have been closed since the week before Christmas but I've been calling since then to make an appointment for a root canal during their "supposed" business hours multiple times a day (i'm well aware they were closed the Friday before Christmas, Christmas Day, and Dec. 29th - Jan 2th.), calling different numbers on their website, they have a full voice-mail, and even sent them 4 emails and have heard nothing back but its good they can post pictures on Facebook. Just nice.

I really want to thank Johnnie Mae Davis and the excellent doctors at UIC College of Dentistry for your your excellent services and the surgery she needed so badly as she was suffering from the pain and damage from her impacted teeth. The procedure was very quick...45 mins. It's been hours since her surgery and she is doing great. She is doing everything as instructed and has not complained of any pain or problems. The bleeding stopped awhile ago and she has been eating very soft and light foods as instructed. Thank you so much, I am so grateful.

it's impossible to contact them to set up an appointment! like what some of the others have said, I have left 2 voicemails and sent them in an email in the past week but they still have never got back to me! The person who comments back on those reviews just says "thanks for your feedback"...ok what is that supposed to do? are you going to fix your phone or what? CONTACT THEM BACK. CONTACT MEEE BACK.

Been calling for a week to get ahold of the endodontist. Left numerous messages. Faxed over the referral. Their voicemail is full. I have also tried calling all the other extensions just to get a human on the phone. The message states the hours they are open and I have tried calling literally once every hour of that time lines since last week. Extremely frustrated as county care list them as the only one registered as a provider with an endodontist. Please contact me back or someone tell me a different option

Really don't know how anyone is giving UIC College of Dentistry anything more than a 1 star rating ...if they had a lesser grade than 1, I would surely give it to them...As it relates to getting a appointment. I faxed my referral over to the clinic, as stated on their voice message...it has been 3 weeks, I haven't gotten a call back. So, I went to their website to see if any information is posted as to when to expect to be contacted after you've faxed over your referral. No information is given. Now, there are several numbers on their website to call and set up a new appointment, but, it only allows you to leave a message. Really? How effective is that? What kind of system do UIC College of Dentistry have here ???? Inquiring minds would love to know??? For sure it's not being ran smoothly. UIC College of Dentistry is totally not professional at all! I hope the government is not contributing our tax dollars to this non-effective facility, if so, that would truly suck!!

I had work done there when I was 16 years old. The beautiful solid gold crown just popped off yesterday. I'll be 68 years old in a few days. I have a dentist but for some reason I want to come back to where it all began. I read the Finch story and feel very sad for her. She seems to think she's got the English grammar thing together and used the word "know"incorrectly two times. We must learn to be more tolerant of each other. wouldn't this world be a better place?

Dr. Betti Shahin is an abosute great dentist. She did a wonderful job under a faculty member Named Dr.Afshari. Overall I totally recommend going to Dr.Betti Shahin because she is a very caring doctor who cares about her patients deeply.

I faxed over my referral that my dentist gave me. When i emailed them to see if they got it, they told me they needed my dentist to fill out their updated form. Not a problem at all. So I emailed them on September 20th to see if they received it no response. It is currently October 4th. Terrible customer service. I will never recommend this place to anyone

The most unprofessional customer service you will ever find in a dentist department...don't return phone calls, no empathy towards patients...supervisors allow employees to talk however they want and does not discipline anyone for wrong doing or treatment to customers...my advice, if you could go anywhere else go...because this place is very very poor when it comes to customer service.

My worst nightmare has been losing all my teeth and looking like Freddy Krueger … and over the past nine months this nightmare became my reality. I did have to have all of my teeth extracted and I did have to accept the fact that children would wonder why I was wearing my scary Halloween face mask for the several months required to fashion and fit my upper and lower “replacements” (I refuse to use the “D” word).
However, Freddy Krueger was put to rest on the day before Halloween when I received my replacements from Betti Shahin, my student dentist at UIC College of Dentistry. They looked great, fit well with just a couple of minor adjustments, and have/will become the catalyst for a number of positive lifestyle changes.
I began this process with extreme trepidation. This was quickly alleviated, though, by Betti, other student dentists who assisted her and faculty staff who contributed their expertise as needed. Most importantly, everyone listened and responded completely to my questions/concerns, always treated me respectfully and did everything possible to ensure that I left each appointment encouraged about the progress being made throughout my treatment plan.
While my plan is not yet complete (lower replacement implants to be added for support), I am sure that the care and concern shown me by students and staff at the UIC College of Dentistry thus far will continue. Yes, I will definitely return for future dental issues. Yes, I will refer others. And yes, I am very, very grateful that, along with getting my smile back, I’ve had some light-hearted as well as laugh-out-loud moments. Doesn’t get much better than that!

The students and Faculty at UIC Dental school show a commitment to patient care and to expert dental treatment of the first order. I have been treated by about 4 different students over the past 2 years, all in their final pre-doctoral year. They have all been excellent and I have enjoyed their very friendly approach and caring skills. Presently, I am being treated by Arshad Muhammed who will next be interviewed for the Masters program. Arshad is outstanding technically and spends great time and effort over getting the job to the excellent result he expects of himself. He also takes time to explain the upcoming procedure and why he (with Faculty)has chosen the particular treatment option.
He, and my earlier students have been trained by faculty member, Dr Ashfari, who puts the patient at ease and discusses the next steps with the student and the patient. All the students enjoy working with her and I have felt very comfortable knowing that her expertise and experience are being brought to bear on my dental health. In short ,I rate the clinic very highly and would recommend it without reservation.

Receptionist are so bad never answer the phone. So after trying to get an appt for 2 days I went in to get an appt for my two boys and this was two weeks ago. When I took my boys in today. They told me you know your appt was a stand by. I was like no I made the appt two weeks ago, but it all change. When we meet the nice's, patient, professional dentist Jamie Kaufer and her assistant Anabelle. I cant find the words to describe the experience and. One of boys is a handful and they where so patient with smiles all the time. Totally recommend them!!!

In September and October I was experiencing discomfort on the right side in the back of my tongue. I thought my tongue was scratching a chipped tooth. I finally couldn't take it any longer and went to my dentist Dr. Lotsof at Methodist Hospital. When he took a look at my tongue he excused himself and went to his office where he made an appointment with Dr. Louis Halkias of Oral Surgery Associates. I went to see him and November 3rd he performed a Biopsy on my tongue. A week later I went back and he told me that the results of the Biopsy showed that I had tongue cancer. He also made an appointment with Dr. Markiewicz and told me that Dr. Markiewicz not only was his teacher but his specialty was tongue cancer.
When I went to see him I brought my girlfriend who was a cancer survivor and she had a lot of questions which Dr.Markiewicz answered everyone which really helped me understand. The best news though was when the Doctor examined my tongue he told me that we caught the cancer in it's infancy and that it hadn't spread. He told me I had squamous cell carcinomas. He also told me there would be a partial tongue removal plus a sentinel node biopsy.
On November 30th I had surgery And since then I've been cancer free. I continue to see Dr.Markiewicz once every 6 weeks and since yesterday (5-22-17) it's now every 3 months.
Not only do I think that Dr. Markiewicz is awesome I also think he ROCKS!!!
Sincerely,
Charley Scantlebury

It has been a long process 2 1/2 year. I have gone through 2 periodontists, 2 prosthodontists, 2 hygenists, and 3 supervisors. It is a long drive from Naperville, but I knew I could not afford the work in the
suberbs. I had an issue with every single tooth except eye teeth. Somed
teeth were pulled. Root canals were done over. I am on my 2nd set of
temporary teeth which I didn't fully understand the need for. When the old temps were taken out and the new temps were put in, I totally understood. These temps were in the perfect and final position and they
are amazing. The 2nd set of temps were in the exact position my final
crowns will be in. The bite is perfect and the look is incredible. I am told the final teeth will be even better. I can finally see why so much had to be done and why it took so long. Why did I have 2 sets of temporary teeth? My original bite included top teeth that protruded and lower teeth that were pushing my top teeth out further. I had what is called in lay term a
collapsed bite. The first set of temporary teeth changed my bite but not
too the final stage, as a severely off bite has to be changed gradually giving time for the facial muscles to accept it. Hats off to Dr. Basaya,
Dr. Kendall and Dr. Moranis for their excellent thinking, planning, and work. It is worth the time and money and so much less than I'd have had to pay in Naperville.
