    Is it possible to feel like family at a dentist's office?? Somehow, at the Art of Modern Dentistry, the answer is a resounding YES! Dr. Daftary and her staff (shout out to Toni!!) are the kindest and hardest working dentistry group I've ever visited. From the moment you walk in the door, you are welcomed by the competent and friendly ladies at the front desk. Everyone goes out of their way to ensure your comfort and understanding of any procedures. They are also meticulous in performing their services. Dr. D has a no nonsense approach, but also manages to get to know her patients and cares about them and hearing about their lives. In some ways, it almost has the same vibe and feeling of going to the salon to get your hair done (think Steel Magnolias), except you're chatting with the very skilled and always professional Dr. D! - who also has quite the reputation for providing flawless veneers - a true testament to the "Art" part of the name. And, who doesn't loveToni?! Not only is she a cancer survivor, but she is extremely talented and knowledgeable when it comes to managing her Invisalign patients. I'm just so glad I found this office and these amazing people!! Going to the dentist is obviously very stressful for most, people. The experience you get at Dr. D's office is anything but - this is an office you can trust and count on to receive the treatment you need and the results you want!!

    Got a Cleaning, Exam, and X-rays from this wonderful group of professionals. I had not been to a dental office in a couple years due to extreme stress. Dr. Daftary was very thorough in her assessment on the health of my teeth and very understanding to my anxieties. I felt heard by her and her associates discussing my dental health, and they were transparent and kind with their review. I am thankful for their advice and I am fortunate to have access to such a great network of dental professionals in the South Loop.

    I’m not usually one to write reviews, but I feel it’s important to caution others. My experience with this office raised serious concerns about transparency in their billing practices. The quote I received listed a “standard fee” and an “adjustment,” with the adjustment nearly matching the standard fee — and the math was inconsistent throughout. The adjustment was shown as an added charge where it appeared negative and subtracted where it was positive, which made no sense. The estimate also listed six teeth at the same rate as two, and when I asked for a recalculation, I was met with a surprisingly defensive response and refused. The overall experience left me feeling misled and uncomfortable proceeding with treatment. I strongly recommend reviewing all paperwork carefully and seeking a second opinion before considering this office.

    This was my first visit here. I am always reluctant when it comes to finding a new dentist. It feels that they always want to do more than is needed. Art dentistry was not those people. They did what needed to be done and suggested that I wait on the other. I wasn't overwhelmed. Thank you for that.

    TL;DR: Scare tactics to pressure into unnecessary procedures, refusal to refund over $2000 for a procedure I never had, a $13k snore guard (that was billed as orthodontic treatment) delivered months late (by which point it no longer fit without so much pain I couldn't wear it), and refusal to release records. After being suspicious of the high pressure scare tactics and contradictions in what Dr. D told me when I had questions about a procedure, I had a second opinion and found out it wasn't even necessary. I had already been trying for two months to get refunded for monthly payments I'd had to make even though I hadn't even had the procedure yet (after I had to postpone the original procedure date), and being told that was impossible. I then requested my records so I could get a third opinion, and was told they would be sent within a few days, but that never happened. I followed up every few days for the next few weeks, never able to speak directly with the person responsible for that, and never getting a callback or email response. It has now been over 30 days, a HIPAA violation. After finding out the procedure wasn't necessary, I requested a refund and tried to close my Alphaeon account, but found out it's supposed to be handled on the clinic side. I filled out a formal refund request form, but never got my money back. When I call, I'm never able to speak to anyone in billing, and the receptionist will send a message for them to call me back, but they never do.
