My first time here with Dr. John was wonderful. He would take his time to ask me questions and concerns that I might have for maintaining healthy teeths. Later on this year, I also brought my children here for checkup and they love it also. Their facility is pretty kids-friendly and always accommodating their customers. Their service is very professional. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good dentist.

They try to create more work than what's really needed for more money. The problem is you're using my body for money tearing up my mouth for your pockets. They told me I had 4 cavities, I had fillings that needed to be replaced, they wanted to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth the next month and made it sound like a horror story if I didn't do it. They even said I had gingivitis?!! I was shocked as I eat healthy, brush twice a day and drink nothing but water and floss. My mouth felt fine... I was super sceptical so I went to another dentist in Elmhurst with A LOT more experience and better reviews. This guy told me almost everything Lynch told me was false and I didn't have gingivitis. Told me my wisdom teeth are perfectly fine and grew in nicely based on the x-rays and I'll probably never need them removed. I didn't have any cavities either! I hate leaving bad reviews especially for American businesses but if you're being sneaky money stealing cun+s using my body to fill your bank account you deserve to be bagging groceries at Whole Foods not working in people's mouths.

The doctor is excellent, has a gentle and caring presence and does outstanding work. I especially appreciate her application of novacain - she makes sure it gently goes to the right place. She has done 3 extractions, 2 caps, and a lower denture. All excellent and done with exquisite craftsmanship. Could not recommend her more.

About a year ago, I was told that I had 5-6 cavities from not flossing when I came here. I thought it was strange because I never had this issue before, went to a different dentist about a year before my visit with no concerns brought up, and started regularly flossing a few months prior to my visit. Before getting them "fixed", I requested the x-rays that were showing the cavities and sent them to a dentist I know who works out of town. He told me I was fine and there was nothing to even be concerned with. Because of this, I never had them do any work. I recently went to get another cleaning at a different office and the dentist confirmed there were no issues. I'm glad I got some other options before I let them drill into and permanently ruin my teeth.

Great family practice. They always get me in quickly when needed. New office is fantastic. Streamlined the whole process with the latest technology. Thanks Dr. John.

I had a quick and successful wisdom teeth removal. I didn't feel a thing, and I'm recovering well!

I usually do not take the time to write reviews, but felt that others should know our experience in case you are questioning. I will start by saying that, overall the staff is friendly- and that is nice. Wait times are less than desirable, but that happens at a doctors office so- its is forgivable. However, in the 4 months that my husband and I went here we had 9 cavities filled between the two of us. NINE! Keep in mind that we religiously go to the dentist every 6 months and have our whole lives. We brush and floss daily and are very dental health conscious. After getting 6 of my cavities filled (they said there were 3 more). I sought the advice of my uncle (I come from a long line of dentists who practice back in my hometown) who warned that this is not normal and advised that I seek a dentist who is more conservative in their approach and will not just drill and fill. I would warn that it is just one doctor at Lynch to avoid, but my husband saw a different doctor than I did and had the same experience. We will not return. If you are constantly getting fillings here and have never had this in your life I would advise a second opinion.
