PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Alelah is amazing in terms of her technical skills. She is also thoughtful and caring about the work being done. She takes an innovative approach to facilitating my individual needs; she never rely on one size fits all solutions. She has excellent bedside manners, and is very informative and friendly, which is also reflected in her staff personality. Her office is always spotless.

I’ve been going here for about a year and a half now and have had zero issues and enjoyed my experiences. I enjoy Dr. Alaleh and her personality, and I feel like I’m in good hands. I had to get a surface cavity filled and was very nervous, but we joked backed and forth and she put me at ease. Her assistant, Marta, is also very kind and my overall experience was enjoyable. They explained everything to me thoroughly, got to me in a timely fashion, and everything seems to be well-cleaned.

I have had routine cleanings, fillings, root canals with Homerun Dental. I once came in with a life threatening dental emergency after a traffic accident. Dentists make me nervous, the staff and Dr Dowlatshahi always calm me down immediately, figure out what I need, and handle it gently, quickly, and professionally. An amazing office. Highest recommendation possible.

Dr. Dowlatshahi has been my dentist for the past two years. She provides excellent and informative information regarding my dental health each visit. Each visit, in addition to the typical x-rays, she has used an intra-oral camera to show me the surface of my actual teeth and to counsel me on my dental hygiene habits and her recommendations. I find her to be very trustworthy and transparent so I know I can have faith in her recommendations for my dental health. The majority of times I have visited there has been little to no wait. One thing to note, during Cubs game they do offer free parking; you just have to tell the Cubs event/parking staff that you have a dentist appointment and they will show you where to park. I will definitely continue going here as long as I live in Chicago.

I was very happy with my cleaning/check-up! The staff was friendly, accommodating, and easy going. It had been four years since I’ve seen a dentist, because of no insurance, and no one was judgmental. The dentist took an adequate amount of time cleaning my teeth, talking to me, and ensuring I understood the information provided. She thoroughly explained/answered all questions I had. The office space was welcoming & nicely decorated too! I was very pleased with my experience! I referred my partner, who then also referred a friend. We all will definitely be returning for our future cleanings/dental concerns!

Dr Alaleh is a lifesaver. After needing an emergency root canal, Dr Alaleh was able to fit me in on same day, painlessly alleviate the issue, and calmly reassure me moving forward. Since that experience, I am happy to have switched all my dental care to her and the hygienists at Home Run dental. When I arrive, I am greeted with a personalized welcome, and Dr Alaleh often recalls previous conversations we’ve had. While it is not necessary, the friendly conversation goes a long way and getting dental patients comfortable with what is usually an unpleasant experience. I plan on utilizing some of their cosmetic procedures (teeth whitening) in the months to come leading up to a wedding.

Yesterday,I had my first experience at Homerundental office!! It’s been a couple years I haven’t go to the dentist,so I had to get a good cleaning!! One of my friends recommended Dr Alaleh,so I said why not,let’s try!! I got at the office at 3:30,the assistant took x-rays and after 10 min,the doctor came and  started showing the x-rays!! She explained very understandable,what work I have to get done!! I don’t have any kind of insurance so  She did a treatment plan for me,with reasonables prices!! After that I got my teeth cleaned around 20 minutes,so I was very happy with her work!! I am, deffinetly going back next time,to start my filings!! Everybody was so nice and kind,explaining everything very well,clean office!! Definitely,I recommend this place to get some good work done!! Can’t wait for my next appointment!!

I look forward to going to my dentist. She’s knowledgeable of insurance & gives great service. I have alot of dental issues & I usually felt embarrassed when going to a dentist, but I was never uncomfortable with her. She and her staff are very professional & kind. The clinic is very clean & they’re pretty much always on schedule. I highly recommend Homerun Dental.

More than pleased. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Alaleh and her team. Love this office. Caring and compassionate. She gives it to you straight. No selling. Did my cleaning and cavities . This review is way overdue. Been going to her for 10!years before she opened up this office . When she was associating elsewhere. My top dentist .

Homerun Dental was such a friendly, efficient & professional experience! Both the front desk/dental hygienist and Dr. Alaleh Dowlatshahi were all very welcoming! They also didn’t judge me for not having been to the dentist in over 5 years! I got a $49 Groupon too for x-rays & the dental cleaning, can’t beat the price! She has tons of other coupons on her site too, especially if you don’t have dental insurance. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 🙂

Dr. Alaleh is the best dentists I have ever had! Through a lot of Yelp searching and insurance digging, I am so so glad that I found her! The office is comfortable, the TVs add a nice touch and the entire place is spotless. The morning of my appointment, the office was running a bit late. It was a rainy Saturday, so that wasn’t a huge deal. The cleaning was expertly done and I experienced no pain whatsoever. The best aspect about this place is Dr. Alaleh herself. As a communications professional, I appreciated the amount of time and interest in a new patient. She asked for my oral health history rather than just relying on the X-rays and paperwork. She was so personable! Very glad this place is so close to home. See you in 6 months for my next cleaning!

I had a root canal and build up on my K9 tooth. Dr. Dowlatshahi explained that the K9 in the longest tooth and mine was a little twisted. The root canal was done perfectly and the build up looks really nice. I am pretty satisfied with their work. The office was clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. I’ll certainly go there and actually recommended it to some friends.

BEST DENTIST EVER! No-one likes the dentist, but its something we all have to do. The doctor and entire staff is so efficient and also so welcoming. I love getting my cleanings here because its so fast and painless. The entire office is spotless, and they use the latest technology and equipment. Also such a nice plus the doctor always remembers the smallest details I tell her during my appointments!! Last year, she referred me to an amazing oral surgeon that did my wisdom teeth extraction. Amazing experience there as well thanks to Dr. Alaleh Dowlatshahi’s recommendation. FREE PARKING AS WELL!

Just took my kids for their school cleanings/exams yesterday.  The staff is so friendly and polite, are great with kids, took us back the minute we walked through the door, and they charge much less than our previous dentist group.  Overall very satisfied with Dr. Aleah and will continue going. Always my recommendation when a friend askes

Dr. Alaleh is by far the best Dentist I have had. She is friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Her Dental office is impeccable with state of the art dental equipment. I came to Dr. Alaleh because my back molar broke from biting on some hard candy. (next time I’ll be sure to just stick to chocolate) Dr. Alaleh painlessly fixed my tooth perfectly. I feel as if my tooth had never been half broken. If you are looking for a genuinely terrific Dentist, then choose Dr. Alaleh, she is an A++++ in my book.

Very friendly staff. They did not try to upsell me, or encourage me to come back for unnecessary things. Simply gave me preventative advice. Best dentist I’ve seen in awhile! Only complaint is they called me to see if I could come an hour early, then I had to wait. But overall would recommend.

Dr. Alaleh is the best dentist I’ve ever visited. Both professional and personable, Dr. Alaleh keeps the overall dental health of the patient in mind as she diagnoses and treats, but also identifies potential pain points to get ahead of any possible issues with your teeth. I first visited her office for a routine check-up. Through scans she spotted a few cavities getting dangerously close to a potential extraction, and recommended a plan to quickly perform root canals to save the teeth. But this was no routine root canal – because of the uniqueness of my teeth, we hit a few road bumps along the way. We found some complications with a tooth’s adjacent wisdom tooth and recommended a fantastic doctor to perform surgery. We also found my molar had extra roots that grew in unusual directions, so we needed to reach in to dig those out as well through additional sessions. Once complete, she gave recommendations to other areas to treat in the near future. Through the entire process, Dr. Alaleh had been extremely flexible and knowledgeable to address the issues quickly and effectively within a tight time frame. She’s been very attentive and thorough, making sure I feel comfortable every step along the way. I highly recommend anyone to stop by her office for a check up!

Dr. Dowlatshahi was extremely caring about how to treat her patients. This is one of the things that made my visit feel special. I felt taken care of. She also goes into detail about my mouth and what’s going on inside it. That really shows her level of intellect in an inviting way. I’ve definitely found a new dentist in Dr. Dowlatshahi!

Wanjiru (dental hygienist) was great and actually had fun with me. I embarrassingly hadnt been to the dentist in a few years and she was kind and patient as she cleaned my teeth. I had to get 2 cavities filled, and I get extremely anxious about the needles used for the numbing shot. Dr. Alaleh was extremely gentle and patient as to ensure I didnt have any issues. I will be staying with them as my primary dentist.

I love this doctor she is the best- the first time I went to her the staff had gone home and she stayed and waiters until I got there. She gave me antibiotics for an infected root and did a root canal a few days later. I mean really what doctor stays and waits for you after hours. Her staff is great an she always squeezes me into her schedule- I’ve been there 4 times now and the staff is great, the technology is up to date and the doctor always sits with you after your treatment and shows you the X-rays and explains everything thoroughly! I have never been to such a great dentist!

More than pleased. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Alaleh and her team. Love this office. Caring and compassionate. She gives it to you straight. No selling. Did  my cleaning and cavities . This review is way overdue. Been going to her for 10!years before she opened up this office . When she was associating elsewhere. My top dentist in Chicago.

I absolutely hate going to the dentist for a variety of reasons, mostly because of the dentist i had growing up, but also because I’d been very depressed over the last few years which greatly affected my dental hygiene. I was so worried about being judged that I just stopped going all together. The team at HR Dental was so kind and non-judgmental and genuinely cared/listened to me. They took my concerns seriously and made me want to care about my dental health instead of shaming me into it. I’ve definitely found my primary dentist 🙂

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Dowlatshahi and Home Run Dental. Even though I’m a grown man, I’m deathly scared of going to the dentist but everyone there makes you feel so comfortable. Their office is always very clean. Making an appointment is easy and they even have text message reminders. They are also very safe when it comes to Covid-19 protocols. Thanks Home Run Dental!

Dr. Alaleh was very kind and thorough with me. She definitely knows her stuff! Everything was very clean and they even had sunníes for my eyes (if you are sensitive to light like me). Diana, her hygienist was also super sweet and made it very comfortable for me after years of being scared to go to the dentist. She was super quick with my X-rays, which I appreciate. I will never skip a dentist appointment now that I found them. Thank you!

Dr Alaleh is the best dentist the first time I went to her the staff had gone home and she stayed and waiters until I got there. She gave me antibiotics for an infected root and did a root canal a few days later. I mean really what doctor stays and waits for you after hours.

It had been 5 years since my previous check-up (at an office that rushed through everything).  I have found my ultra awesome Dentist!! Dr. Alaleh is the best dentist I have been to in all my 47 years. Her super sweet Dental Assistant (with a lovely name I am not sure how to spell) did the initial cleaning and what I thought were cavities were stains that she polished away… I went thinking I had a cracked tooth and cavities, but after my cleaning and exam, I was told that my only issue was a filling from the 80’s is *starting* to fail and the crack is just crazing (“Just keep an eye on it and take Biotin- you can get it from Walgreen’s.”); that she did not see *any* issues that required immediate care. I do not have dental coverage in my crappy veteran’s insurance- patients without insurance at Homerun Dental receive a 30% discount off of services. I did not have to wait and I bought my first fluoride treatment ever on the fly after my exam. I will not go anywhere else. Homerun Dental is my dentistry office and if they move, I will, too! Thank you, Homerun Dental- I appreciate your humanism!!!! Check out their website for specials!

By far the best dental experiences I’ve had thus far! I have come to Dr. Alaleh a few times now, and every time I’v never experienced any pain, which I can’t say for any other dentist that I have been too. She always asks if everything is ok during the procedure to make sure you are as comfortable as you can be, and she always tells you what she is doing! I am so glad that my mom found her because I no long panic before going to the dentist since I know it will be a good experience

I cannot say enough positive things about Alaleh Dowlatshahi, DDS. Not only was the wait time minimal (under 5 minutes!), but the whole experience was excellent, too. As someone who relocated to Chicago, all my doctors (and my dentist) were left behind in L.A. As you may know, it’s scary to find new doctors whom you can trust! A friend told me about Alaleh Dowlatshahi and I loved everything about the visit (even though going to the dentist is *not* a fun experience, in general, for many people). I was terrified, but she put me at ease and did not rush through either one of my appointments. She asked if I had questions, was patient with my questions, explained what she was doing to my teeth, etc. And the other staff members were very kind, too. Again, I cannot recommend this dental office enough!

Dr. Alaleh’s office is clean, efficient, and welcoming as is her whole team. I have had horrible dental experiences in the past with other dentists, so I had avoided the dentist for many years and had a lot of anxiety going in for my first appointment. She quickly made me feel comfortable and provided excellent dental care. I now have no more anxiety when walking in for appointments with her. Her team provides great dental hygiene tips and you can tell they really care about their patients. They also went through cost with me every time before any appointment/treatment/cleaning to make sure I knew what was or wasn’t covered by insurance and knew the exact cost ahead of time. I really cannot recommend them enough!

Love this dentist- will not go to anyone else. Dr. Alaleh has a great chair side manned- very approachable. Explains everything and will not do costly unnecessary treatments. I wanted crowns but she said I needed to open my bite first or they would just break.she fixed the bonding done by another dentist and she always gets me in as soon as possible- usually within a day or two. The fist time I came in I had an infected root and. Needed a root canal- she waited after her staff left for me to get there. If you have ever had an infected root canal you know how painful it is – she prescribed medication after the exam and I went in for the root canal. What dentist does this? And she always sits with you after the appt an explains what she has done and plans for the future treatment. She makes sure you understand what she has done and what. Needs to be done. Best dentist ever!!!

This dentist and her office staff is great. I’ve been coming for almost two years now and recently had to get my wisdom teeth removed (not by her but an oral surgeon). I was in extreme pain and couldn’t get into the oral surgeon so I called Homerun, they got me in within a few hours and did a quick treatment on me to help with the pain.

BEST DENTIST EVER! No-one likes the dentist, but its something we all have to do. The doctor and entire staff is so efficient and also so welcoming. I love getting my cleanings here because its so fast and painless. The entire office is spotless, and they use the latest technology and equipment. Also such a nice plus the doctor always remembers the smallest details I tell her during my appointments!! Last year, she referred me to an amazing oral surgeon that did my wisdom teeth extraction. Amazing experience there as well thanks to Dr. Alaleh Dowlatshahi’s recommendation. FREE PARKING AS WELL!

Ready to go when I walked in. 100% proper PPE and safety. Explained everything that was to happen before starting, and during procedure frequently asked how I was doing and then where we were at in the process. Friendly and professional, organized and safe. This is my 3rd visit and they have all been this high standard.

I’ve been going to Home Run Dental ever since my neighbor highly recommended them . That was 3 years ago. Dr. Alaleh and her team have always been welcoming and super friendly. I write this because I just read a review that wrongly suggested that Home Run Dental was homophobic. Nothing could be farthest from the truth and to suggest such a thing is irresponsible. It’s one thing to take issue with not being called back. But to slander a business with this kind of rhetoric just makes no sense. Being a gay male myself I would NEVER do business with anyone showing even the slightest hints of anti gay behavior. I have referred many of my gay friends to Home Run Dental all with positive results and reviews.

Just visited this Dental Clinic today. Dr.Alaleh and her assistant were very kind and professional to me. I bought a groupon for cleaning, x-ray and exam. They did everything and even more. About 5 years ago I have put a jewelry on my tooth and now I just wanted to get rid of it. And the doctor removed it very gently and now I don’t have any signs of it. I was afraid that my tooth would be damaged under this jewelry. But now I’m happy I got rid of it and my teeth perfect! Oh and by the way, she didn’t even charge extra for it. Thank you so much! I would recommend Dr.Alaleh
