My family has been going to Elmhurst Family Dentistry for almost 20 years. Would highly recommend them for cleanings and all your dental needs.

Adriana just cleaned my teeth and she was great as usual, along with front and back office staff! Now that the irreplaceable Dr. Tom has retired, Dr. Dan checked out my teeth, and I'm happy to report he, like Dr. Emily, are well on their way in emulating the inimitable Dr. Tom! I'm also happy to report, even with Dr. Tom's absence, the family culture he developed for staff and patients alike ... remains!

Dr. Nelson is probably one of THE nicest guys I have ever met. He's very patient and really knows what he's doing. He takes the time to educate you on his methods and procedures. The whole staff at Elmhurst Family Dentistry is quite amazing. Very polite, very attentive, very careful with Covid guidelines. I have never even had a mediocre experience there. It's always been fantastic. Let's face it, I don't know a single person who likes going to the dentist especially myself.... but I really don't mind coming here at all. Keep up the stellar work EFD!

Been going to this dentist since their last location in Elmhurst, I've always been treated so well. My whole family comes here and they've known us since before I can remember, and that shows how welcoming and positive each appointment has been. Can't imagine not enjoying a single dentist appointment if I went to any other dentistry. Thanks y'all !

I have finally found a dentist I can recommend. Professional yet friendly. Other dentists I have been to have given me advice to line their pockets. But this dentist seems to have your best interest in mind. Take a chance and go.
