PATIENT REVIEWS

This was my first visit with Dr.Bahu.  I received a very comfortable welcome.  The ombiance is outstanding.  The dental assistants were warm and friendly.  I even received a parafin wax to ease my nerves.  I have never know a dentist to be so in tune that he would go to the extent of a parafin wax for my hands.  I also understand that this is a regular part of the visits.  Dr. Bahu took the time to explain everything to me regarding my needs.  He answered all of my questions and guess what…he didin’t rush me.  I received a thank you note as well as a follow up call.  He definitely gets a gold star as well as his staff.

Dr. Ramy & Laura were both really great. Went into detail about everything they were doing and made sure I understood why they were doing it + what I would be charged with if they did a procedure. Also, both have very steady hands and a deft touch, which is always appreciated when someone has a really sharp object around your gums… Beautiful views from their office too. Will go back again.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bahu for over a solid decade plus and every visit continues to be an awesome experience. The entire staff have become our extended family. Everyone is just always present for any assistance needed before and after appointments. Continuous Blessings to the entire *Ramy Bahu Team* in all their endeavors providing excellent complete Oral Care to many. Warm Regards, Mena

I have had a fear of dentist for most of my life. Going was a very hard task for me. Finding the right one was most important. After searching the city and making the first few visits to a number of dental office’s that just didn’t feel right, a friend recommended Dr. Bahu. From his warm staff right up to the visit, I felt the most relaxed out of all the others. Now many years later he has been my most recommended Doc. I cant say enough about how caring and detailed he is. not to mention the level of quality with him and his staff. I often get complements on my smile, I owe them all to Dr. Bahu.

I have only had great experiences at Dr. Bahu’s office. Dr. Bahu helped me manage my TMJ and gave me all the necessary information and resources to prevent a flare up. His staff and dental hygienists are equally amazing! They are kind, professional, and make the dental experience positive. I will be referring all of my friends to Dr. Bahu!

It has been my pleasure to be Dr. Bahu’s patient for over five years. During that time, not only have I been more than thrilled with the quality of care I have received, but I have recommended the practice to three of my friends who also received consistently outstanding care. I am VERY picky when it comes to dentists, and I found Dr. Bahu just after being dissatisfied with the dentist I had been seeing. Starting with my very first appointment I was impressed by the skill and positive energy of the entire team. It is easy to have one or two great folks, but Dr. Bahu had clearly built a practice where everyone is helpful, cheerful, informative and focused on great patient care. I could go on and on about the thoroughness of my initial examination. One of the things that impressed me most was the way the results of the examination were presented to me. Not only were the results explained to me in detail, but also from the perspective of what was most important to ME. Working with Dr. Bahu’s great staff, we were able to collaboratively develop a treatment plan which has, I am sure, saved some of my teeth. As good as Dr. Bahu is, I have to also mention the quality of the dental hygienists working in the practice. I am not a person who enjoys getting cleanings, but with these folks I do not mind. Sure, Dr. Bahu has the best state-of-the-art technology I have ever seen in a dental office, but the best technology is useless without the people using it – and it is the quality of the people that truly distinguishes this practice. The office itself has a very comfortable waiting room and the whole facility is very clean, new and bright. I have never stayed with a dentist this long, but I have no reason to look for another. I will stick with Dr. Bahu and his team.

Response to anonymous character assignation I have never felt the need to defend anyone, especially my choice in dentist, however when I read the recent comments regarding Dr. Bahu’s office I was wondering if it was a case of mistaken identity. In my profession I work with some of the best dental office’s in the nation and have long standing relationships with all of my offices. The one thing that they all have in common is how to be the very best they can be in all aspects of patient care. The foundation and hallmarks of these offices are bult on integrity, relationship, communication and accountability. Dr. Bahu graduated from the prestigious dental school at Northwestern University and has pursed excellence in all aspects of dentistry and patient management. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, studies at the Pankey Instituyte, incorporates the teachings of Dr. Frank Spears and the Seattle Institue and the list goes on and on. The standards in his practice are an expression and the result of his dedication and pursuit of continuing education with the leading experts in the practice of dentistry and dental practice management. Everything in the office reflects the best technology and equipment that is available. The new Patient visit begins before the patient walks in the door. Dr. Bahu, personally, contacts new patients before their first visit to the practice. He wants to be aware of any special concerns the patient may have, any bad or frightening experience they may have had in aother dental office or anything that may make it difficult for them to come to a dental office. He assures them that each visit will focus on their comfort ttand satisfaction. As for the New Patient Appointment: A patient will never feel rushed nor shortcuts taken. It will include a Medical History assessment, Blood Pressure Screening, Inter-Oral camera exam, oral cancer screening, digital dental x-rays, home dare assessment and instructions, comprehensive periodontal exam, cleaning or other necessary hygiene procedures and a thorough dental exam including the use of a diagnodent which can detect cavities earlier than any other method available in modern day dentistry. Everyday this office strives to exceed the patients expectation and they engage in the concept of “Constant and Never Ending Improvement!” It is impossible that anyone that has ever been in this office could say these things without grossly misrepresenting the truth. I would encourage Miss X to reevaluate her intentions and honestly take her concerns to the office. She will find that everyone on this staff has a willing ear and genuinely cares about resolbing any of the issues she is unhappy about… Personally I am extremely careful about anyone that I allow to work in my mouth and never did I have a second thought about asking Dr. Bahu for hs advise or being a patient in his office.

Dr. Bahu and his entire staff were incredible. I’ve never felt more comfortable and cared for in my life with a dentist. I was terrifed to go to the dentist, and the entire staff was so nice and I felt 100% better after meeting everyone and being under their care. I’m so grateful I found them!

I went to Dr. Bahu for general dental needs and he quickly made me feel comfortable by explaining everything that was going on with my teeth and even showing me pictures. I felt comfortable enough on the first visit to have a procedure done. Having some patience with the front desk staff will be well worth the care from Dr. Bahu!

I do have to say, without hesitation, that the negative reviews below are crap. Dr. Bahu is the nicest dentist I’ve had in a long while. I hate going to the dentist because I always have teeth problems. I called Dr. Bahu in a panic because I was having excruciating pain in my upper left back molar. They got me in immediately to check it out. I came through the office door, the took my coat and offered me a beverage–once I got to the dreaded chair…my hygienist could tell I was nervous…she took my photo (for their records) and put paraffin wax on my hands! Please and thank you!!! This seriously helped calm my nerves. On top of that, she was cautious to ask how things were feeling as she was going along. She was honest, and patient and didn’t make me feel bad for not going to the dentist in a while…instead she explained the importance of routine dental cleanings and even showed me an informational video on periodontal disease. Many of my dentists in the past have lectured me and made me feel like I was the only one in the world not going to my 6 mo cleanings… Once I met Dr. Bahu he took a look at my molar, and gave me an analysis of what he thought was going on…he wanted me to get a second opinion from an endodontist, and I did. Turns out Ramy was right…it was cracked..bad…so we were going to try a temp crown and maybe have to get a root canal. At worst, extract it. Long story short, I went through all sorts of uncomfortable junk that Dr. Bahu was super awesome about…listened to me babble when I was worried, reassured me that the pain would be over soon…and worked carefully in my mouth with Tuba. This is just one thing off my long list of teeth issues…I appreciate Dr. Bahu’s sincerity and concern regarding my teeth. His staff is amazing—I was practically in tears looking over the numbers for the cavities and temp crown…blah blah blah…and they helped me finance it through Chase… Seriously–I could babble on and on about his office. I’ll refer him to anyone I know who is looking for a dentist…and as long as I’m Chicago, I’ll stick with him. Who else is awesome enough to find time for me (even when he’s booked all day) and not try and rush me out the door when I have concerns. PS. If you’re feeling gloomy–he’s in the professional suites in WTP…which is attached to the mall–shopping therapy…hello! 🙂

I have been going to Dr. Bahu since I moved to Chicago. His office staff is kind and helpful. He is friendly and informative. The entire experience is always smooth and simple. He recently fitted me for a bite-gaurd which has stopped my TMJ migraines. I definitely recommend Bahu.

Found Dr. Bahu through ZocDoc and scheduled an appointment as a new patient. From the confirmation of my appointment, handling my insurance to guiding me through the labyrinth of hallways, all of my expectations were exceeded before I even sat in the dentist’s chair. His dedicated staff made every assurance that I was comfortable and was informed of every procedure that was taking place as a new patient. I’m confident that Dr. Bahu and his team have the experience and expertise to make every visit an enjoyable one!

I have always taken care of my teeth even when I didn’t have dental insurance, so I have experience with quite a few dentists. I have to say that Dr. Bahu and his staff are some the nicest and accomodating people I have met. I have a ZERO tolerance for pain and every experience, from x-rays to a root canal have not hurt!!! Each time I visit Dr. Bahu, I leave feeling good about my experience and more knowledgeable about my dental health. I appreciate the follow-up from him and his team and have recommended him to my family and friends! Both my husband and I are current patients of his and we have no complaints.

I have been going to this dentist for about 8 -9 years with all 3 of my children. My 3rd child was the latest addition to go to him and she has been going for about 3 years and she is now 5 years old. What impressed me about Dr. Ramy Bahu, is the fact that he was very professional and personable. The very first time my 17 year old went to his office about 8 years ago, he had just broke his leg and had an appointment that same week. After the appointment I received a HAND WRITTEN CARD in the mail, checking on how my son was not only doing after his procedure, but him hoping that his leg healed very soon and wishing him a speedy recovery. Years later my children still went there without me faithfully. However, I stopped going for about 2 years, due to insurance reasons. When I took 5 year old to her appointment, because I brothers or dad couldn’t bring her. Upon walking through the door in a crowded waiting room. The Dr. comes out and acknowledges me by my last name and asking why have I not been there. I must say that he has some of the best staff I have seen who is also faithful to him and once again his staff knows who I am, especially my children. I am in the sales and customer satisfaction industry. I have to say that Dr. Ramy Bahu DDS and staff truly revises genuine and caring services.

I am reposting my review since – guess what it was filtered off – Isn’t it amazing that the good reviews get filtered yet a bad review from 2009 is still on the current page? Anyway…..As a consumer and long time dental patient I would also give Dr Bahu’s office 5 stars. Besides being nice and friendly they are very professional and make you feel right at home. Let’s see how long it takes for this one to get filtered – since it is nice.

I came here for tooth pain and being way overdue for a checkup. Everyone was extremely nice and professional, and I really appreciated clear communication for every step and transparency about administrative details and procedures. It was generally just a good and friendly experience. I would definitely recommend giving them a shot!

Dr Bahu and the team at Aesthetic & Reconstructive Dental Associates are phenomenal. I have been a patient of the office for over 3 years and have had nothing but wonderful experiences there. In fact, the negative reviews below make me question the authenticity of them and Yelp as a whole. I began seeing Dr Bahu after moving to Chicago and have never had a better experience with a dentist. The staff of Aesthetic & Reconstructive Dental Associates go out of their way for the patients and you can tell that they truly care about your health and well-being. I have recommended Dr Bahu to countless friends and all of them have had a great experience.

Dr. Ramy Bahu and the office staff are all wonderful. I love how upbeat and friendly everyone is. It helps when you feel the staff genuinely care about you and are interested in who you are as a person. I love how they ask how I am doing, and the conversations I get to have while I am in for my visit, it’s really great.

Dr. Ramy and Laura where amazing and very informative. They were quick to tell me issues and gave me all my options including prices/insurance coverage. I felt very comfortable and relaxed even about my upcoming filling in a week. That’s Dr. Ramy and Laura! -marissa platt

I have had nothing but the best experience from Dr. Bahu and his friendly staff. No stranger to dental work when I moved to Chicago, I needed a good dentist. I clearly have found one in Dr. Bahu and my healthier gums, straighter teeth and brighter smile are the proof. Since I do not have dental insurance, Dr. Bahu has always offered me a sensible pricing plan and options to fit my budget. I have seen advertived specials for cheaper dentists,  but  I believe it is a much better investment in the long run to go to a skilled professional. The dental hygienist Laura and his assistant Tuba are beyond wonderful in their care and expertise. My big smile is proof!

I was so glad when I found Dr. Bahu and his staff.  I was a afraid to go to the dentist and I told Dr. Bahu about my fears. Dr. Bahu and his staff made me so comfortable and the are such a caring team.  I was so relax with my visit my fears were gone they did a excellent job on cleaning and treating my gums. From that first visit over 2 years ago I been coming back ever since.  So I will reccommend Dr.Bahu and his staff anytime any day. The sevice is the best and the staff are some of the most friendly people in serving I know. So come on an give them a try you will be glad you did

Front desk staff and dentist are both positive and easy to work with over the phone and in person. I had a semi emergent dental situation arise from past trauma and even though their morning schedule was full they reworked appointments to fit me in. I also really appreciated Dr.Bahu’s follow up phone call regarding my appointment and endodontic referral he sent me to.

after 40 years of being terrified of the dentist and ignoring my teeth i started going to dr. bahu and now i’m comfortable, calm and most importantly my teeth and gums are in great shape. i have been seeing dr.bahu for about 8 years and the same great hygienist as well, she is so gentle i’m now at the point where i even fall asleep in the chair sometimes. i highly recommend dr. bahu and his team.

I visited for an emergency root canal on my girlfriend’s referral, and I owe her one, because I had a very good experience. Pricing was fair, especially considering the service was excellent: the turnaround from the time I called to getting into the office was amazingly fast, and Dr. Bahu was as thorough, friendly, and as informative as could be. Sandra was awesome, too, she explained every step of the process, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Both of them are total pros and I felt like trusted them from the moment I sat down. One thing I appreciated in particular about Dr. Bahu was his ability to focus on what my treatment plan is, and what may have caused my issues, and not on preachy, condescending lecturing. I already know I’ve made some bad choices and my general anxiety about dentists doesn’t help. Visiting my previous dentist’s office was like going to confession at Catholic Church (except it cost money and physical pain in addition to guilt and shame, so it was worse). BUT! I felt 100% comfortable at Dr. Bahu’s office and honestly, I look forward to going back to continue my treatment plan with gusto. I haven’t felt actual optimism about a dentist in a long time. Big thanks to both Dr. Bahu and Sandra for all their efforts!

The nasty and negative reviews I’ve read on this website do not describe the Dr Bahu I’ve known for more than ten years. My wife, who is very good in scouting, is the one who found Dr Bahu. It was the perfect match. My son will be 15 in June and goes to Walter Payton College Prep, which means that we do not tolerate anything else but the quest of excellence through hard work, following the rules, taking responsibility, the respect of others, humility and honesty. Dr Bahu has been taking care of my family with an exceptional professionalism. MY SON IS 14 and HAS NO CAVITIE. One day my son broke his front teeth while roller bladding on the playground at LaSalle language Academy School on Sedgwick and Eugenie, not far away from our house. He had blood all over his face and was crying when he got home and saw himself in the mirror: He said, Dad, I am ugly… That was painful. My son needed immediate care and as a father, I needed help but I knew who to rely on. So I called Dr Bahu Office immediately and asked to talk to him directly. Less than 15 minutes later, my son was in Dr Bahu’s Office, calm and reassured by the man who has been taking care of him for many years. I would never thank this man enough for finding the extra time to take care of my son. As a father, I was lucky to have this honest and so dedicated man taking care of him immediately. We were given the perfect and accurate diagnostic from Dr Bahu who took the time to check everything before reassuring us that he will be Ok, because our big fear was that his gums were damaged or even worse, some internal injuries or fractures. Actually, Dr Bahu repaired the two front broken teeth to look like new and the more surprising part was that it was inexpensive. As for me and my wife, we have nothing else but total satisfaction with Dr Bahu. The staff is one of the best I ever seen in Chicago. The minute you get into the office, they treat you with great respect; they take your coat and immediately announce you to Dr Bahu. We have always been satisfied with our appointment and on some exceptional circumstances; we never waited more than 10 minutes in Dr Bahu’s office. In addition, I would like to mention something we appreciate very much with Dr Bahu, he always provide a treatment plan stating an accurate estimate of the total cost broken into patient’s portion and insurance’s coverage so that we can do according to our budget or priorities. Not only that, Dr Bahu handles all the insurance processing very efficiently so there has never been a surprise. We are very simple and positive people. We teach and preach tolerance and respect of others no matter the differences. We are very appreciative of the very inspiring good heart of people like Dr Bahu and all his staff, especially the very nice lady responsible of the Oral hygiene department who always treats us with great care, she is so professional! We definitely recommend Dr Bahu to anyone looking for a good and honest Dentist.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ramy Bahu’s office for about 10 years and every time I go there and it’s like I’m going to visit friends. They make you feel very comfortable and really go out of their way to make it as pleasant of an experience as they can. I like that it’s professional dentistry care given in a personable, friendly manner.

My daughter have being going to Dr. Bahu about 2 years now. I looked and looked for a dentist who counld help me Dr. Bahu was GOD sent to me and my daughter VERY understanding to my needs so if you are looking for a dentist with a wounderful staff stop looking and give Dr. Bahu a call. Great work Very Happy Mother !!!!!!!

I have been seeing this office for a year and a half, since moving from LA. 1st off I wish I was offered a glass of wine because I think that’s an excellent idea considering that 99% of people are very anxious about going to the dentist. The dental hygienist, (I’m so sorry that I’m drawing a blank on her name), but she is the BEST!! I have had panic attacks virtually every time i’ve seen a dentist going back to when I was a child. After my 1st visit to this office the sweetest, most efficient, careful hygienist totally annihilated any and all of my fears about going the dentist. I just felt safe and she has taken my teeth from a pretty bad state with deep gum pockets to healthy teeth and my gums are now within normal range. Dr Bahu is great. Nice guy, and with the help of Invisalign my mildly crooked teeth with a couple large spaces in between a few of them are prefect. I’ve not felt pressured ever. There was only 1 time with one of the assistants where I felt she wasn’t that capable and a bit blah, but haven’t seen her in a while. Staff: Beyond sweet and professional, everyone in there genuinely seems to care and take care of you. Also, never even once have I ever waited more than a minute to be seen. So… If you feel pressured it might be you allowing yourself to be. He makes suggestions and you either say yes or nope, not for me…

Dr Bahu and his assistant Ellen were both amazing! I’d not seen a dentist in a long time and they were patient with my questions and listened to my concerns, explained everything in detail, and the cleaning was gentle and comprehensive. I’m so glad to have found such a compassionate

Dr. Bahu and his staff have created a warm and relaxing environment that makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. The front office staff are extremely courteous and always greet patients with smiles. Laura takes extra care in providing a very thorough and comfortable cleaning while showing sincere interest in her patients – not just their teeth. Dr. Bahu delivers care with utmost professionalism. He clearly explains what he observes during an exam and, if needed, provides reasonable recommendations for treatment while being genuinely friendly and respectful. I am very fortunate to have found Dr. Bahu and his staff almost 12 years ago.

I was looking for a new dentist in Chicago and knew that the dentists in this location tend to be excellent. I found Ramy Bahu on the list and made an appointment to see him. His office is clean, bright and modern. I was initially nervous about seeing dentists because of bad prior experiences. However, my appointment with Dr. Bahu could not have gone any better. First of all, he has invested in the most modern medical equipment and devices. I was also thrilled that I was able to get dental X-rays taken and have the results developed and read while I was still in the office. I was shown a videos about common dental problems and the doctor was able to show me my X-rays and discuss the issues with me. I needed a filling replaced and he has time to do it that day so that I did not have to make a separate appointment. The finance folks were great. They have a private office where they can provide a detailed estimate of the work needed and allow you to decide what fits your budget and timeframe. It was very convenient and I did not have to worry about the shock of a huge surprise bill showing up in the mail. Just to be clear, his services are not cheap. But I don’t mind paying more knowing that a doctor is investing in the type of technology that will make my appointment go much better. Other great features are the appointment emails and text reminders. It is a brilliant way to keep in touch with patients when everyone is so busy and on the go. Due to an insurance change, Dr. Bahu is no longer in my network. I like him enough to go out of my network and pay the cost out of pocket to see him. If you are looking for a professional, advanced and thoughtful dentist, this is your guy.

I have been going to Dr. Bahu office for several years after getting bad dental work from another dentist. He has worked with me to help correct the problem. I especially love the dental hygienist that works in his office Laura. Going twice a year for cleanings helps me to stay on top of any further problems. Parking is a problem because that is an extra expense and the office staff always makes you feel welcomed!

The best dental team that I ever experience. Dr. Bahu, Laura, Stephanie, and Judi are the best. The office atmosphere is welcoming and they go above and beyond to maintain clean and sterile environment!!!!!!

Dr. Bahu is very friendly and kind, as is his staff. Have gone to this office several times for cleanings and fillings and all the work is great. His office has all the latest equipment and both he and his staff try really hard to make the experience as painless as possible. They truly want you to be pleased and comfortable with their work and offer for you to come back for free in within a reasonable time frame if you need your fillings or other dental work to be modified for comfort. The facility is extremely clean and the views of downtown Chicago from the chair are lovely. I was worried about cost when offered parafin wax for my hands on the first visit, but with insurance the cost is very reasonable and on par with other dentists in the city. I plan to keep going here for dental work and would recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in the Gold Coast/River North/Streeterville area. As far as dental work goes, Dr. Bahu’s office offers a great experience.

I was very surprised by some of these reviews and feel compelled to write something. Dr. Bahu has been my dentist for nearly 8 years. His office staff is fantastic and very caring. The offices are very high tech and immaculate. Every experience I have had (routine cleanings, two cavities, a root canal and a night guard for grinding my teeth) has been positive. The staff always presents me with and estimate – not a bill – for any work I need done. They also clearly indicate what they believe is necessary and what is simply a recommendation. The estimates have never been excessive and I have never felt pressure to do any of the “recommended” services. I did have my teeth deep cleaned (gum cleaning) twice at their recommendation and my gums actually stopped bleeding as a result! Dr. Bahu is extremely professional and seems like a very nice guy. I called when I was having a very bad tooth ache and they made room for me the same day. I ended up needing a root canal that the office scheduled for me in very short time and around my schedule. Dr. Bahu personally called me to follow up after my root canal. I think it’s a very nice touch. He asked if I was in any pain or experiencing and type of discomfort (I had neither). All my tooth pain went away after the root canal and it healed quickly. They send emails about every 6 months or so to remind you that it’s a good idea to have your teeth cleaned twice a year. I need the reminder so I welcome it. The office location is great and easy to get to since I work in the loop. I highly recommend this practice and will continue to go until the guy retires – I think he is great.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
