PATIENT REVIEWS

I had an abscessed tooth and was in more pain than I could handle. By the time I filled out my forms at Dr. Ali’s office, they took me back and rushed to numb my tooth to reduce the pain. Dr. Ali was great and did my root canal on the spot. I let him know my previous bad experiences at the dentist’s office and he went out of his way to make me comfortable. I didn’t feel a thing while he did the procedure. These guys are welcoming and great and they seem to care a great deal about their patients. As I am writing this, all of the pain from the abscess is gone and my tooth is saved. Highly recommend this place and would give it more than five stars if I could. Pilsen Dental Center has a new regular. Thanks, guys!

What I like best about coming here was the no nonsense approach of the dentist. They’re not trying to give you services you don’t need. Granted I had been looked over well by students at Malcolm X Dental Clinic (recommended) and knew exactly what I needed, but was relieved that the dentist agreed with the previous recommendations without any adding on, or well also this and that. This versus my last regular dentist (Homerun Dental) where she was always bugging me to get insurance and was disappointed when I just came in for another cleaning to where they finally upped the price on me, and I knew it was time to move on. Glad I found Pilsen Dental to fill the gap.

The staff and dentists are incredible. They are extremely honest and progressional. I had to go in with my young son for an emergency procedure during Clovid, i was so scared. I went in and the office was so CLEAN that it made me feel so good. They remind me of the old fashion dental office but with super modern equipment.

Finally a dentist I feel comfortable going to! I hate everything about going to the dentist and my previous experiences in the city have been pushy and unprofessional. It is especially hard to find a good dentist that accepts HMO. The Dr. was laid back, professional, and down to earth. Staff were friendly and accomodating. My cleaning was painless and quick with no extra unnecessary frills. I will definitely be back!

I saw Dr. Ali this week for the first time. I had been dragging my feet about going to the dentist for about 6 years when, all of a sudden, I began to have a tooth ache. After dealing with my insurance, I finally was able to have it switched to this clinic, and as soon as I had that figured out I called for an appointment for a general checkup/cleaning. To my surprise, the receptionist was able to schedule me within the week! My visit to see Dr. Ali was quick. I waited no more than 10 minutes in the waiting room, and most of that was me filling out the “new patient” forms. Dr. Ali was professional and focused. He asked me several questions about my previous tooth ache (which had stopped hurting) and did the general checkup. He walked me through the x-rays explaining that there was nothing wrong. He then proceeded to do the cleaning (which was direly needed). He was, once again, quick and efficient. His demeanor was kind and pleasant as was that of his assistant. After the cleaning, I made sure things were clear with my insurance and I was out of the door. In all, I was there for less than 40 minutes and as far as I could tell, the cleaning was well done. I have called several times and have always been greeted with clear and efficient answers to my questions. The staff is professional and kind. I plan to keep Pilsen Dental as my primary dental clinic for as long as possible. I would recommend them to anyone who needs general cleaning and check up. I cannot speak to other types of dental work, but I would highly recommend them.

I just left the dentist and Dr. All and his staff made me feel extremely comfortable. I hate going to the dentist however from the first steps when I called to make an appointment to the follow-ups they were great and I only waited for about 5 minutes to get seen! They are caring and answered all my questions in detail with out the runaround. I definitely will recommend this location to my roommates and friends that live near by! Thank you Dr Ali and your incredible staff!

Today was my first appointment at Pilsen Dental and I am not only impressed with Dr. Ali (who, true to other reviews, is amazing) but also with how accommodating they were of my insurance! I have a First Commonwealth dental HMO, and my plan covers this dental group. I scheduled my appointment on ZocDoc (app for making medical appointments), and received a call the next day from a receptionist who informed me that I needed to contact my insurance and make Pilsen Dental my primary dentist. She explained the process and let me know what they could do for me once I called. Very helpful. My insurance wasn’t half as accommodating…. After jumping through a million hoops, I wasn’t ever able to change my primary dentist. I went to my scheduled appointment anyway and explained what happened. Again, the receptionists were accommodating and helpful- they called and took care of my insurance while I filled out a form, and I was in to see Dr. Ali within 5 minutes! I’ve never had such an enjoyable dentist appointment! Dr. Ali was personable and professional in conversation and thorough and gentle as he worked on my teeth. He explained my x-rays in detail and made sure I was comfortable during my cleaning. The hygienist was kind and helpful as well! I’m happy to say that for as long as I live in the city, I’ll be going to see Dr. Ali!!! 🙂

My Mom cracked his tooth over the weekend. On Monday we called his office and they fit her in, even as a new patient. Dr. Ali took an x-ray and gave her three options.  The first option was complicated but the best. It required an hour!  Dr. Ali treated her with care, no pain. He has a good touch. The staff is also nice and efficent. The waiting room is very pleasant and kid freindly.

Everyone was kind and the whole appointment was great! I was quite embarrassed that I forgot my insurance card and the receptionist helped me track down my policy number! Her patience was so welcome and helped to put me at ease in an awkward situation. The cleaning and x-rays were efficient and relaxed. I appreciate the staff and Dr. Ali.

This was my first time at a dentist. Dr Ali and his assistant where very helpful. I came in for a exam and deep cleaning for my lower gum. Dr Ali was caring and proceed with the cleaning in a proficient manner. He removed the plaque from my teeths. This dentist is also affordable.

Dr. Ali was so great! I felt really comfortable the entire time and he answered any and all question that I had. He was very gentle in cleaning my teeth and explained everything as he was doing it. He recommended what I needed to have done in the future and did not pressure me to make an appointment right away. After the visit he welcomed me to ask any questions that I had and asked me to reach out to him and his office whenever I need to. Best dentist experience ever!

Immediately when I walked in and said my name Dr. Ali was waiting there for me. He addressed me and my issue and immediately started working with me and pulled two of my wisdom teeth w/o pain or discomfort. His nurses were very patient with my daughter, who was fussy, and I appreciated that.

I had a very pleasant experience. Dr Ali and his assistant took their time to thoroughly clean my teeth, leaving me with that “squeaky clean” feeling. It was the best cleaning I’ve had in a long time! The office was clean and organized. The large screen in front of the chair for patients to view their X-rays was a very nice touch. Dr Ali seems very knowledgeable and was very kind.

Dr. Ali is by far one of the best dentists I’ve ever been to. He knows exactly what’s he’s doing and caters to his patients. Before I came to Dr. Ali, I visited the Pedersen Emergency Dental Care and the resident doctor there went on to tell me that I need thousands and thousands of dollars in dental work. She even mentioned that I would be needing a night guard for an “obvious” grinding problem. I was extremely skeptical, so I decided to get a second opinion and I am so thankful I did. Dr. Ali did a thorough dental check and basically ruled out half of the dental work that the other doctor said I would need. He truly loves what he does and my goodness is he great at it. My teeth have never looked or felt better. I highly highly highly recommend Dr. Ali for all your dental needs. The dental center itself is cozy and decorated beautifully. There’s a play area for kids, a comfortable couch and a TV. There’s also plenty of gorgeous art hanging on the wall and most of them are for sale. The actual patient rooms are also extremely clean, and all dental tools are sanitized. The hygienists are friendly and good at what they do. I like how there is a TV right in front of the patients chair so one can see his/her file and what’s actually being done during their appointment. They also play music so one can sit back, relax and get their dental needs taken care off. Just be aware that Dr. Ali is extremely popular around the area and has plenty of patients. There will sometimes be a little bit of a wait time before your actual appointment begins, and that’s okay, there’s no need to give a one star review for that as you are reviewing the dental work being done and nothing else. On one of my appointments, I was 20 minutes late and they were still able to accommodate me. Talk about patient care. Thank you Dr. Ali, and I will see you next time!

After Dr. Ali called me to get the cleaning redone, we figured out a time and I went back in. And of course, as always, he was very kind and gentle. He took his time to answer my questions and made sure I was satisfied with the cleaning and the service this time. I am happy Dr. Ali! Thank you for staying on top of things and I am looking forward to my next appointment. Both front desk lady and the dental assistant were very helpful too. No more cat jokes.

I broke off the cap of my crown today during lunch while drinking soup (yes, soup!) and luckily Dr Ali was able to squeeze me in within an hour! I recently moved to the area and was looking for a new dentist to go to regularly, and I think I have found it! Dr. Ali was extremely accommodating and got me fixed up real quick so I could go back to work immediately. Highly recommend.

Dr. Hussain Ali, DDS has been my dentist for the past several years. He is the best dentist I have ever gone to. I have had extensive dental work done (crowns, bridges, and have had teethe pulled). His equipment is top notch and high tech. He is very kind and concerned about your dental health. John S.

Dr Ali seems very knowledgeable and was very kind.

Let me start off by saying that I am a huge scaredy cat when it comes to the dentist. I had a horrible experience with a different dentist when I got one wisdom tooth extracted, so now that I needed to get the other 3, I was definitely scared and nervous. After meeting Dr. Ali, there was nothing to be scared of. I wanted to be referred out to be put to sleep to get the procedure done but decided to put my big girl pants on and just get it done here. They were super amazing to schedule me in on Friday the 25th since it worked with my school/work schedule. Dr. Ali was quick and gentle, I felt no pain and it was over with in 20 minutes! I was surprised! It’s been a week and I’m pretty healed up. In the week of recovery I only had about 3 days where I did take pain meds but I wasn’t swollen in the face which was incredible since I looked like a chipmunk when I got my 1 wisdom tooth extracted from the other dentist. Dr. Ali did a FANTASTIC job and even though this dental place is pretty far out from where I live, I really loved everyone here that I will continue going here for the rest of my dental needs. It’s definitely worth it.

I decided to try Pilsen Dental after reading many good reviews and I am glad I did. I was seen 2 minutes after checking in. Dr. Ali is very knowledgeable and makes you feel very comfortable. After getting X rays done Dr. Ali goes over everything with you while the X rays are shown on a big screen in front of you. He explained everything well and answered all my questions. I will be coming back to get some work done and I am surprisingly not dreading it because of how comfortable Dr. Ali made me feel while explaining everything. 10/10 Would recommend.

I’ve had A LOT of dental work done at A LOT of different dental offices in the Chicago area so when I say Dr. Hussain’s office is the best, I mean it is the best. Receptionists are friendly and bi-lingual (Spanish), techs are fast and polite, and Dr. Hussain works quickly and precisely. They accept a huge variety of insurances including medicaid and even dental discount programs. One of my least favorite parts of going to the dentist is that I always feel completely out of my element and at the mercy of whoever is holding the drill but not once have I ever felt that way at Pilsen Dental. This is the only dental office I have been to in Chicago where I really felt informed and involved in my care from beginning to end. For example, at my appointment today I was scheduled to get a root canal done on one tooth but I came in expecting to get a filling on another tooth. When I brought this up to Dr. Hussain he didn’t even hesitate to change things around and get my filling done today and reschedule my root canal for another time when I was more prepared. I was literally sitting in the chair and told this man “sorry, I don’t want to do that thing you planned for us to do today, can we do something else instead” and he didn’t even miss a beat. Try that at any other dental office and when the dentist tells you to get the hell out, leave and just make an appointment at Pilsen Dental

I went there for a cleaning, cavity filling, and wisdom tooth extraction. While I couldn’t get my wisdom tooth extracted because of personal reasons, he made sure I knew my options and gave me suggestions of other place that can help me. The cleaning was fast, painless, and my teeth look great. All my teeth were checked for cavities and he fill all that were necessary. Overall my experience was great. He’s super nice and approachable. His staff are efficient and kind. He answered all my questions and gave me good advice about how to keep my teeth in tip top shape!
