PATIENT REVIEWS

I cannot recommend Dr. Dale enough! I was referred to him by Dr. Dow (a fantastic dentist in Chicago!!) to discuss my TMJ and jaw alignment issues. Dr. Dale we extremely personable, a clear communicator and very helpful when it came to explaining his recommendations. I was super impressed with him and the entire practice–particularly because Dr. Dale knew that I was coming in for a complementary consultation. He didn’t try to sell me once during our conversation and I really respected that getting to the root of my issues and providing a solution (whether through him or another practice) was his concern, not $$. If I had a kiddo right now and needed a dentist/orthodontist for them, there would be no question that they’d be headed to Dr. Dale’s office!

I called the office one evening when my 2.5 year old jumped and fell mouth first into the side of a wooden coffee table. There was a lot of blood and tears – we were extremely worried. The on-call Dentist called us back right away and talked us through the injury, what to do and what to keep an eye out for. He also got us in for an exam first thing in the morning. The experience was seamless both with the on call doc and at the office. The staff and dentist were excellent despite my anxious 2.5 y/o crying the whole time. I highly recommend them!! Beautiful office and easy parking as well!

Smooth check in after getting our temps… my daughter and I rode our bikes there and Jonathan was kind to let us park inside the clinic.He took some pictures and X-rays . Doctor Dale Benjamin spent a good amount of time discussing the care plan for my child’s braces and even offered to communicate with our family dentist which is awesome! I hope to work with this amazing practice and get my daughters braces. The clinic is very well managed and they follow all the COVID19 protocols. Highly recommend this dentist practice!!

New to Chicago. Just moved here with my hubby and our super shy and slightly “fearful-of-dentists” daughter. We were hoping that the cool decor would ease her into a new dental environment, but it was more than just their amazing and thoughtful office. From Dr. Dale & Dr. Justin being super easy to talk to, to Jonathan, our friendly and awesome RDA, and the super sweet and helpful reception team … we were all in love with this team and office. Our daughter LOVES going to her appointments here. We look forward to our chats with her Ortho team and would seriously come here ourselves if only they saw adults 🙂 Still on the fence? Let me break it down for you even further: COVID LOGISTICS: Masks required. You check-in/complete paperwork outside of the office, but in their lobby. They check everyone’s temperature. Only 1 adult allowed in the back with the child. SPACE: As a former dental asst. & hygienist, I can’t say enough amazing things about this practice. The flow & cleanliness of their office puts children and parents at ease; their equipment and tech are top-notch; the team is super efficient. They get you in and out but are so thorough – actually, my daughter is the one asking to stay longer 🙂 OVERALL: Their service is incredible. IF Yelp had 10 stars, we would rate them at a 15!! Thank you Chicago Pediatric!

This place is awesome! I had read great reviews prior to going in with our toddler for her first cleaning. It was very welcoming for kids and parents. The hygienist had the best bedside manner. The dentist did as well. They explained everything and made sure all my questions were answered. I can only imagine how much more awesome it will be post pandemic. The waiting room is currently closed but we were told all about what they usually have out there. Next time! Just had our “next time” for our 6 month cleaning and had even more fun. There was a lot more to distract her since more kids were there this time. But that didn’t make it any less fun. Mommy got all her questions patiently answered as well. From beginning to end we felt well taken care of and are already set for 6 months out and homework to quit thumbsucking real soon!

Let me just say right off the bat that everything about this place blew me away: the price, Saturday appointments, the advanced technology, the physical office space, the employees, and the freebies. Located near the AMC movie theater in South Loop is this hidden gem of a dentist/orthodontist practice. When I first walked in, I was surprised by the fun, open waiting area filled with things to keep kids busy while waiting, like a mini arcade game machine. On top of that, many of the practice members were chatting in the back with each other; it seems the actual doctors were the ones wearing the quarter zip athletic sweatshirts with the practice name on the back. It seems like a very friendly place to work, which was nice to see. Many of the employees including the doctor themselves are young/healthy looking as well. When I walked up to the receptionist, I was pleasantly surprised when she correctly guessed who I was, as it showed me they are on top of their patient schedule! I came in for an orthodontist consultation, as I needed to replace a very old retainer. I called 15+ places asking them for the price of one clear, essix retainer out of pocket. This place had the cheapest quote, at $175, with a 1 year warranty. I also submitted a form online to schedule an appointment and they followed up very quickly to schedule an appointment. When I met with the orthodontist, rather than taking a traditional old mold, a 3D SCANNER & PRINTER was used – such high technology!!!! In addition to that, they also have TVs mounted to the ceiling so when patients are laying down they are able to watch. The orthodontist himself, Dr. Dale Benjamin, was very friendly, conversational, and informative. He answered all my questions, both the pros and cons of different retainer types. Since my teeth have shifted a little, he said I could do a treatment similar to Invisalign if I wanted (they produce the actual Invisalign mouth guards in house so it’s much cheaper to do it here), but did not push me to nor did he think I needed it – which honestly surprised me as I thought he would push me to so he could make more money lol. On my way out, they offered me to take as many drawstring and reusable bags (for grocery shopping!) that I needed. I am excited to come back to pick up my retainer; they said it would be done as soon as a week! PS – they also validate parking for up to 2 hours!

Dr. Dale practices with polished professionalism while maintaining a comforting demeanor like no other ortho I’ve ever seen. He took the time to edify me before jumping into treatment which went a long way. I have every confidence in his fine tuned technical skillset and know that I am in good hands given his expertise. The pristine physical space is equally as welcoming to patients – looking forward to going back!

We absolutely love everything about Chicago Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. It is pristine & bright, has a super child friendly and welcoming decor, great location, easy parking, and that is just the building. The Doctors and staff are amazing! I trust their advice like I would trust a friend. Their rapport with my children is something I have been searching for in Chicago for a few years. We had a magical pediatric dentist when we lived in Cambridge, MA and I am so happy to say she has met her superstar pediatric dental counterparts with Dr. Justin & Dr. Dale! We’ve been with them for a few years and will be with them for many years to come.

I cannot recommend this practice highly enough. I needed a new retainer, and the staff was exceptional. I was able to get a fast appointment, they were all so friendly, and the process could not have been easier. Dr. Benjamin was a pleasure to work with, even working with my schedule and staying in touch after hours. The office is modern and new, and parking was really easy in the garage, and free with validation. Would refer all my friends and family here.

I went here for a second opinion about phase 1 for my young son who has significant dental trauma.  I thought the pediatric orthodontist was really personable and trustworthy.  He teaches at UIC and they’re known for their dental school.  The office is really swanky and kid friendly and staff were so fast, helpful, and good with my kids.  Overall a great experience and I’d recommend this office to anyone looking for a pediatric dental home near the south loop.

This dental office is the best for children. My daughter is two, and have visited this office on two occasions. Each time the dentist were very attentive, relatable, friendly, and you can tell they are naturally passionate about making sure children have a great experience. They especially made sure my husband and daughter had a great visit. My daughter came home eager to share with me her bag of goodies, and could not wait to use her new pink toothbrush. Thank you, you have a great team! Kenji

I was originally introduced here by taking my 9 month old for her first dental appointment. They handled her with such great care and was very thorough in cleaning her tiny 8 teeth. A few months later, I started exploring braces or invisalign for myself. I had two very bad experiences at different dentist offices (one who never contacted me back after my first examination and the other who pushed invisalign because they had a contract with them). I learned that Chicago Ped did braces for adults and was not only able to get an appointment immediately, Dr. Dale recommended braces over other options based on my examination; even know braces were the cheapest option. I enjoy that kind of honesty and service. The office is very nice looking and there is free parking!

My wife and I both work in the dental industry and we drive about an hour to take our son to see Dr Justin… he’s the best! And if we ever need an Orthodontist when the little guy grows up, Dr Dale is very accomplished and highly respected! A power duo… beautiful office, great service, first class dental experiences, highly recommend!!

Since the moment I stepped in for a consultation, it’s been nothing but a pleasant experience at CPDO! Dr. Dale Benjamin and his staff have been so friendly and helpful during every visit, they go above and beyond! Overall environment’s safety protocols and cleanliness are always on point. I look forward to every appointment! Absolutely a place to refer!

Dr. Dale Benjamin is AMAZING! He turned every what would’ve been painful dental visit into a delightful experience. In my one and half years’ experience of being his patient, I was always greeted with smile and support, even when he’s visibly tired from a busy day. I’d recommend Dr. Dale for anyone who’s looking for an orthodontist, this man will not only fix your dental problems, but also give you a good mood that last for days. It’s like getting your dental works done & receiving psychotherapy at the same time, I walk out the office every time feeling like a refreshed person. I would honestly go visit him every week if his schedule is not so full all the time, much more money-worthy than burning $200 per hours at a therapy session. Staff here are really friendly as well, the office is clean and nicely decorated. There’s a bunch of shops & restaurants right outside of the office, so if your kids are resistant to dental visits, you can just tell them you are taking them to a theme park.

Outstanding Service! I’d like to specially thank Juana who knew exactly how to handle my uneasy, covid terrified middle schooler. With her easy going, gentle and authentic demeanor she intuitively sensed my child’s fear. By using the perfect combination of not talking too much or too little she was able to ease my middle schooler to a perfect teeth cleaning! These Gen Z kids appreciate authenticity and Juana was able to deliver!

Chicago Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is the absolute best! We have been lucky enough to have seen Dr. Justin, Dr. Dale and Dr. Matt. They are the absolute best! All three doctors are so personable, friendly, smart, funny and great with my kids. I could never imagine going to any other practice after having my children see them. My three children- Liv, Riley and Louis never complain about going to the dentist or orthodontist. The office is clean and the staff is friendly and efficient. We love this practice!

Great place. I brought my 4 yo and 11 yo and it was my 4 yo first time at the dentist (don’t judge me, I never saw the dentist as a child. I was taught those baby teeth fall out anyways so why bother. I’ve grown from that position). They were seen at the same time. How awesome was that?! The staff made both of my boys so comfy. You can tell that children are absolutely everyone in the office specialty. My oldest watched YouTube and had no complaints. (And he’s a complainer) My youngest, his tech and doc were just having the best conversation while coco melon played. Doc was very knowledgeable and walked me through what each of the boys needed. My youngest can’t stop talking about his visit to the dentist. I would absolutely recommend!

I  had  my first appointment with  Dr.  Dale Benjamin today!   He  is  a  fantastic Orthodontist!  He  completely resolved my  issue  (replaced  my  broken  permanently wire  retainer).  He  is  so  personable,  professional,  and  very  thorough.  He  explained  all  of  my  options  clearly  and  I  am  beyond  pleased  with  the  results.    The  office  decor  is  beautiful and  clean  and  the  staff  is  courteous and  helpful.    I  am  a  wheelchair user  and  everything  was  accessible for  me!    I  could  go  on  and  on! I highly recommend Dr. Dale Benjamin and this facility!

Dr.Benjamin and Dr.Justin are just absolutely amazing. I have never been to a dental office that you felt so comfortable from the  moment you walk in. The staff is so friend from the beginning with making the appointments to the end. I will  definitely be recommending this office to my family and friends.

I love this place! I went to Chicago Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontist for my son’s teeth cleaning before school started and met with Dr. Matt. He was warm, welcoming and had an amazing sense of humor and personality with my son. I also met Dr. Dale in their orthodontists area for a consultation and he exceeded my expectations as well. He explained everything very  well without putting a lot of pressure on me to make a decision right then and there! Jonathan, Juana and Liz in the office were amazing! This is my new dentist!

I haven’t finished my treatment yet, but know I won’t have any problems so still leaving this review. These people are simply amazing, every single one of them. Not only is the office and atmosphere beautiful, Chicago Pediatric had to top that with hiring the nicest people to walk this planet. Truly all of them. Dr. Dale (the orthodontist) is wonderful: incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and tells dad jokes that gives my own dad a run for his money. Stephanie is always so visibly happy I can’t help but smile. Fabian is crazy fast and efficient. As a team, they work effortlessly and watching their dynamic is such a sight to see. They also clearly have fun with one another and it’s nice to see such a light environment. Not only that, the receptionists are incredibly helpful as well and they respond to your voicemails if you leave them. I had a family emergency and couldn’t make my appointment, left a voicemail as it was after hours, they called me back next day, and they were able to squeeze me before I had to leave. Maybe I’ve had bad orthodontic experiences before and my bar is really low, not sure, but what I do know is that I’m incredibly happy I chose to complete my braces treatment here, and I’d only recommend this office to anyone. Thank you guys! Had to update my review just to add Sasa to the list – amazing. I’m sure everyone here is.

The care I have experienced at Chicago Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is on a level I have never seen before. I first arrived simply hoping to get information about braces, but I left very much excited and eager to start the process with this team in particular. At literally every moment, I was treated so warmly by everyone there. The assistants, namely Fabian and Mikey, are very pleasant and professional, making me feel comfortable every step of the way. The coordinator, Liz, is very knowledgeable and easygoing, which was very helpful while I decided which treatment plan to choose from. Dr. Dale is very attentive and informative, ensuring I made informed decisions and that I have the best experience possible with the process. I am really excited to see the results from my care here and feel very confident that I am in great hands. Huge thank you to Stephanie who is also a wonderful assistant here for the referral! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone.

I’m a little late with my review but I just called to schedule my daughters second appointment and remembered how amazing our first visit last November was. My daughter then 15months old was a little sceptic of her first visit but Everyone was so sweet and welcoming they made us feel very comfortable from the moment we entered the office till the moment we left. They had a lot of entertaining in the waiting area and a little dinosaur that greeted us and demonstrated how to brush your teeth properly. It was exceptionally clean and you can tell that everyone that works there enjoys it. At the end they even gave her a little toy, I thought that was very cute! If you are looking for a dentist don’t look any long I don’t think there is any way of improving for this office, they are amazing! Schedule your visit and see for yourself 🙂

This place is awesome! I had read great reviews prior to going in with our toddler for her first cleaning. It was very welcoming for kids and parents. The hygienist had the best bedside manner. The dentist did as well. They explained everything and made sure all my questions were answered. I can only imagine how much more awesome it will be post pandemic. The waiting room is currently closed but we were told all about what they usually have out there. Next time!

I had 3 appointments for my girls a few weeks ago for my 3 girls (3, 5 and 10) and of course something at school came up at school for my oldest and we showed up short one kid. They didn’t even blink, we just simply rescheduled which is great because life happens with kids. Dr. Justin was great with my youngest two that day. He did a great job at feeling them out to see where they were at and getting to know them which made them both super comfortable. I waited to write my review because I wanted to see what my oldest thought. Well I took her today and she is still raving about her new dentist! She got in the car and talked the whole way to school about how great the place is. She just told me that “even though there’s a TV it’s not that exciting because the place itself is exciting.” Dr. Justin was great with her as I expected. We even got to have an unscheduled orthodontics consultation because Dr. Dale happened to be free to do so. Even though it’s not a far drive for me I’m happy that we don’t have to go back for that. Dr. Dale made everything very clear to understand as far as the next steps to take for her treatment. The office is very modern, clean and welcoming. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful and we couldn’t be happier. Plenty of free parking and you go right up the elevator so you won’t have to deal with the harsh winter elements.

Such a great experience today with Dr. Benjamin! His office staff was so friendly and found an appointment for me on the same day I called. Dr. Benjamin fixed my retainer and I was out of there in less than an hour. He even offered to put a movie on for me! Will definitely be telling my friends with kids to come here!

I’ve been coming to this location for a little over 5 months and every visit is friendly, professional and easy on my time. I’ve liked it so much I’m switching my daughter to this practice for her dentist and Ortho work. They have great parking, flexible hours (determining factor) and a very nice clean facility. My only complaint is some days it feels a bit hectic in the office, a lot of patients being seen and interruptions during your visit. I take it as a good sign that they are busy and highly rated, but it can leave you feeling hurried along and potential for mixed messages and info. I’ve been asked the same question by three different people in one visit, leading you to believe that information wasn’t passed on. I can appreciate the convenience and quick service, but a personal touch to each appointment goes a long way. Other than that all of the staff is very friendly and no complaints about the treatments I’ve had done so far.

While I don’t typically enjoy a visit to the orthodontist, Dr. Dale Benjamin and his staff made my visit comfortable-and dare I say, enjoyable. The offices are conveniently located in the lovely Roosevelt Collection property with ample parking. The staff are friendly, efficient, and most importantly, they perform great work. The offices are modern, inviting, and replete with modern technology.

I would highly recommend Chicago Dentistry and Orthodontists. The office is always immaculate, everyone is super friendly, and every aspect of the facility is child centered. My son typically hates going to the dentist, but when I told him we were coming back here for his follow-up appointment he literally said, “Yay!” Dr. Dale, Dr. Deric, and Stephanie are the best! I’m glad we found this place.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Dale and his team at Chicago Pediatric Dentistry. As an adult (well over 40), I was apprehensive about braces or any Orthodontal work, especially by an orthodontist office with the word “pediatric” in its name. However, the moment I had my first visit and my reservations were addressed, I immediately felt comfortable with my decision. I was informed every step of the way, the team was fantastic, and I love the results! I would recommend Dr. Dale to anyone considering Orthodontal treatment.

Every trip is a joy. The staff are friendly, gentle, and knowledgeable, and the doctors are similarly exceptional. Having an orthodontist (Dr. Dale) in the same practice as the dentist makes everything so much easier, including managing kids’ anxiety. Our orthodonture experience has been excellent, with lots of conversation and planning for both of the kids. The staff make visits fun, encouraging good hygiene practices in a warm, calm environment with lots of smiles and laughter. Just today, my 10-year-old son was worried about a very loose tooth during his cleaning. He didn’t want anyone to take it out, but it was really needing to go. Dr. Justin kindly, gently, and skillfully navigated that little fella out, and my son didn’t feel a thing. I wish we had a practice like this when I was a kid!

Transferred here from another Chicago orthodontist office after 3.5 years of being in braces and still not having the desired results. Dr. Dale did a wonderful job of perfecting my smile. He really listens and is meticulous in his work( after the braces were removed, he polished and shaped my teeth beautifully). The office staff are friendly and efficient, they answer the phone quickly and are good with answering your questions. His office is filled with the most up to date equipment and I felt like I was receiving the top notch care I was looking for. Plus they brew a great coffee! Thank you Dr. Dale….I’m finally smiling from ear to ear!

I am SO impressed with this dental office. They had amazing communication during Covid-19, great precautions set in place once they opened back up, and outstanding service during the appointment. The assistant, front desk and dentist were all attentive, personable, and talented at their job. I work in the dental field and would hands down say this is one of the best dental office experiences I have ever been apart of.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
