Our Patients Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our patients have to say about their experience at Smile Design Studio Of Hyde Park:
"After the retirement of my former dentist, I switched to Smile Design Studio, where I have received excellent service. I appreciate their use of up-to-date equipment and procedures, their accommodation to my financial situation, their style of explanation and consultation regarding treatments and options, and most importantly their friendly and professional communication throughout the office." - Roger S.
"WOW! This is the most amazing dental practice in all of Chicago, if not the country. The folks working are beyond friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. I live in California for most of the year, and always make sure to visit this dental practice when I visit my parents in Chicago due to how well taken care of I feel there. One time, I had a massive time crunch, and needed to take care of a few cavities. They did me a massive favor and squeezed me in, and made my dental health a massive priority. It's also in a great location- so it's very easy to head to the dentist, grab lunch, and then go to the lake. Can't say enough good things." - Mae G.
"Smile Design is an excellent dental service. They are very well organized in their records and payment procedures, and it is very clear what the expenses will be and how to pay them. They do a great job of notifying in advance of an appointment and setting appointments in advance. I also really like that I have the same hygienist every time, so we get to know each other. The dentists are very careful and tell you clearly what needs to be done. Considering that dental appointments have often been painful and stressful with other dental practices, my overall feeling about Smile Design and Dr. Kaufman is that I trust them--and that is a huge thing to say!" - Anna Y.
