Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely horrible. BEWARE!
Absolutely horrible. We called to book 2 cleaning appointment ( as new clients) for myself and my 9 year old daughter and was told that there was an opening 2 days later, on Saturday June 15, 2024 at the St. Charles location . I talked to Noreen on the phone who gave me the address for Saturday. I was questioning the quick turnaround time for a cleaning as most reputable dentists are months out to get an appointment but was thankful to get in. We showed up today 20 minutes early to an empty parking lot and a note on the door saying they would be closed June 14 & 15 , 2024. No call to let us know??? The appointment was booked 2 days prior. BEWARE!!! Something is not right!! P. S. This was Envision a smile! I believe he has several locations and different dental offices with different names. Update 1 hour later: Finally got ahold of someone at one of their other locations ( South Elgin ) who told me the doctor was out of town. Also the St Charles locations keeps minimal hours ! What ???

YOUR VERY LIFE AND HEALTH IS AT RISK!
Since am unable to post my opinion, i.e. my truth, I invite you to visit ALL of the other reviews sources available to you...where you will find the truth of my experience, unedited and issued with a warning: If you go to this dentist, you are taking your life in your hands! And if you are physically harmed or injured, as I was...it is precisely because THIS review source will not print my very real and genuine experience--that it has happened.

I was referred to Brar by 1800 dentist. I am sooo glad i went. I spoke to Sonia and told her my issue being a bad molar that had an exposed nerve. I expected to be told an appointment would need to be scheduled, Sonia said to "come on in we dont want you to have to be in pain". Prior to calling Brar I was told by someone at a different practice that ive gone to before that it would be a week before i could get in and another place referred by 1800dentist had a 1.5 star rating. The total time at Brar was less the 90 minutes. Options were given as well as recommendations for follow up care. Everything was explained perfectly. I conveyed to the doc my dis like of needles and honestly felt nothing when my mouth was numbed. Im scheduled for a deep cleaning in 2 weeks and eventually some other needed dental work. If I knew of this practice when I was younger vs the butcher I saw when I was younger, I'm sure I would have less dental problems then I do.

Never met a dentist who was so "root canal" happy. My boyfriend had also gone at the same time and they insisted he needed 2 root canals - what a surprise. Their daughter works front desk is obviously very spoiled and shows it with her attitude. Will not return nor will I ever recommend them to anyone.

Doctor was fantastic. He operated on me and I felt so safe and at ease. He kept checking up on me and was always available or would come to the phone if I had a question after my surgery. I would recommend Dr. Dahlinghaus and would go to him if ever I needed him again. Thank you Doctor.
