Neal Nealis, DDS (retired)

Dr. Nealis's experience is so enjoyable: headphones, fun music, comfy chairs. And he does amazing work! He hand painted the bridge on 3 of my front teeth to blend perfectly. Looks better than my original!

My experience with Dr. Nealis has been incredible each time I've met with him. I recently moved to Chicago and I was scared to search for a new dentist, as I have a medical history with many fillings, chipped teeth, and work done in my mouth. I was looking for a dentist that would accept me for who I am and work with me on a plan to become the healthy person I want to be. To start, there was a free consultation where I learned about how your diet and lifestyle can affect your susceptibility to cavities - and it's not just sugar (who knew)! My most recent experience with Dr. Nealis was us actually starting the treatment plan together. His shots are painless, which is great because I had 4. He worked on 6 of my teeth, with 8 surface fillings total in one sitting. While this sounds scary and feels like a lot, Dr. Nealis and his staff go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. For example, there is a message chair under you slowly kneading the stress away during your visit. Notable amenities during this cold winter visit were: a blanket, heated gloves with lotion for my hands, a little stuffed bear to hold, and a playlist of Dr. Nealis' favorite hits! He is a great dentist and knows his craft, but what keeps me coming back is his caring and trustworthy personality. He takes time to learn your story and doesn't dwell on what brought you in. He only cares about the future and how he can work with you to prevent future cavities from occurring. When estimates are too high, they are reduced for the actual work you had done. I have definitely found my "forever-dentist" and I can do nothing but highly recommend this office and everyone who works in it.

I have been going to Dr Nealis for many years, and have always had a great experience. Dr Nealis is very knowledgeable, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Mary Beth has been my hygienist for several years, and is fantastic. A few years ago, I decided to do Invisalign, and my teeth have never looked better.

I have been going to Dr Nealis for the past 5+ years, and I've always gotten top notch care at his office- from fillings, Cleanings, smoothing out a chipped tooth, to dealing with issues with gingivitis, bone loss, and grinding (adjusting bite, fitting mouthgaurd). He is incredibly knowledgeable, is great with patient education, and has a great bedside manner. He always goes above and beyond to address my concerns (I'm kind of obsessive about my teeth/gums). 5 stars for Dr Nealis!
