Dr. Garcia was awesome! Spent time going over details and was very sweet and patient with our toddler. We plan to have the whole family see her for dental care.

Lina Garcia's expensive and poor workmanship on a crown for my back molar and her subsequent handling of the situation raises a warning flag for me to alert others. I mentioned problems with my bite which she ignored for 2+ years. It knocked and hit other teeth inconsistently over 2 years before it became painfully obvious as the source of increasing pain. Dr. Garcia's expert advisement was PULL THE TOOTH RIGHT NOW, $$$$$. I suspected something was not right about this and saw another DDS same day, between patients, he took a pano xray to explain and clearly show Dr. Garcia made an overly large and poorly shaped crown. Within 15 minutes the other dentist reshaped that crown and we agreed he would put a new crown on later... he couldn't guarantee the tooth wasn't damaged so we waited. He re-did her work and it is still perfect. No root canals involved. No further problem. The state board of Illinois intervened to help me get money back from Dr. Garcia. She was unintelligible and hysterical to deal with by phone. She eventually only refunded half of what I paid. Claiming her special cavitation procedures was not part of the crown. She also insisted I remove previous reviews of her work on Facebook and speak with the dentist who solved the problem she created. She claimed she wanted to learn from him, but spent that time promoting and defending herself rather than listening. I should have seen the earlier red flags when she included costs for video of live bacteria in my mouth as part of a standard check. She also likely hopes I forgot she once cancelled an appointment with her after I'd arrived (a 55 minute drive) and gave me toothpaste as consolation. Painful & Expensive Lesson Learned: Avoid extremists like her in all things. Find a real dentist who specializes and loves dentistry, and respects you as a patient with your own preferences and limitations for health ... without a piano in the office, toothpaste and rinse brands to up-sell, dietary opinions, recipes, celebrity-seeking ... and someone who doesn't have a shameless self-promoting agenda. I will NEVER forget.

Wonderful, friendly, and passionate people. Very pleased to see the office has made some recent additions that greatly enhance the experience. This is a unique practice. While holistic dentistry is new to me, it makes perfect sense. I learn so much at each visit, which is a huge value add. I don't choose to go to an average dentist, because I don't seek average health. I don't want toxic products used in my mouth, or my children's mouths. I am willing to pay the premium and go the distance required for exceptional service and uncompromised quality of care. I understand it is not easy to provide this sort of care, because it's unconventional, and may even be viewed as radical. But that's what I want- radical, awesome health, much much greater than just average. I realize there are few who truly know better and devote to providing the best for their clientele, where non toxic options are standard, not special requests. Happy to have found this office, and confidently refer my friends and family.

Coming from someone with very BAD anxiety I had a very nice visit. Lina Garcia was an absolute angel along with everyone on staff. She was extremely gentle. You won't regret making an appointment with her.

Extremely knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and precise. We went to another dentist before Dr. Garcia and it was terrible. I am so glad we made the right choice to see Dr. Garcia. She is the only dentist I trust now with my family's dental care.

I had two failed bridges, a dental infection and was on the verge of losing a lot of teeth when I first visited Dr. Garcia two years ago. I had almost given up hope, but when I was greeted incredibly warmly by Dr. Garcia and her staff, my hope was renewed and I have not been disappointed. I have my dental health and my smile back thanks to them. Dr. Garcia addresses your dental and related health issues, while taking into account your concerns and helping you regain or maintain the best smile possible. I doubt you will find a more intelligent, talented, trustworthy and empathetic dentist anywhere. I travel all the way from western Canada to visit Dr. Garcia and it is totally worth it. It is actually a pleasure to visit Dr. Garcia.
