My first time at Aurora Dentrix today and so far very satisfied. Dr. Vakil seemed very caring and professional. She was willing to take the time to listen to my concerns and worked on a plan for my needs. She seemed very genuine. Unfortunately I can't remember her assistant's name but I enjoyed her also. Definitely would recommend this place.

I was a little hesitant to go to a new dentist, but my anxiousness was quickly relieved as soon as I walked in the door. The staff was very welcoming, as was the dentist. I was made to feel VERY comfortable. The Dentist, Dr. Vakil, was extremely reassuring and took time to explain everything to me concerning treatment. Very happy and relieved with the dentist and staff. I would recommend this dental practice!

Dr. Vakil is more knowledgeable than past dentists and explains all options. She answers all my questions without acting like she's being bothered.

Been going here for 12 - 15 years. I can't remember when I first started but it was at least 12 years ago. I LOVE the friendliness, the no wait for scheduled appointments (never been longer than 5 minutes), the great humor of the Dentists there and how it feels like home. I do not have plans to go to another dentist unless they ever change what I mention above.

Our family has been going to Aurora Dentrix, in North Aurora Illinois, since we moved here over 12 years ago, and I will not go anywhere else. From the Frontline staff a.k.a. JoVanna, to the dental hygienists Daisy and Angelica & Not forgot the dentists. They are superlative to anybody I've ever seen, they are also affordable, they have the radio playing and all their equipment is top of the line period!! Shout out to my dentist Dr. Kari !!! Thank you so much for the years of non-judgment and pure kindness and thoughtfulness, who would've known a dental office would be so pro patient?!??! Highly recommended!!!
