Dr. Carlys interest in dentistry began when she had braces in middle school. She LOVED her orthodontists Drs. Martin and Rose in her hometown of Watseka. Their bright, cheery office was always filled with happy patients, and it was obvious that the assistants and doctors truly enjoyed their jobs. By the time they had beautified Dr. Carlys smile, she was hooked!

Was seen for an emergency visit, and although my visit was short, I was treated with kindness and everyone was so nice. I've always had anxiety about going to the dentist but the staff and doctor made me feel relaxed and at ease.

Nice folks. Thorough. Hygienist was too rough. Blood pressure machine not worth doing if done in your wrist. If you want an accurate read take it at your primary care doc or have them do it manually. Don't waste people's time.

The staff members are warm and accommodating, the office is clean with a comfy environment. And the staff explains what to expect, especially since it was my first visit. The hygienist, Leah, was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful explaining each of the procedures she performed with expertise! She did a great job cleaning, and examining my teeth. The Dentist was very interested and explained everything that needs to be done to correct my teeth issues! I love this facility, staff members, and the Dentist, Dr. Paragas. I have been searching for a dentist who honestly cares about their patients and at long last I have found her after searching the web!! Thanking God!! He answered my prayer.

Dr. Paragas is very warm and welcoming as well as her staff. Helen at the front desk is very helpful. I brought my mom there for dentures after a previous bad experience at a "denture" place. Dr. Paragas worked hard to make sure that we had the best final product. I really appreciated that, you can tell that she cares about her patients.

We love Oak Forest Family Dental! My daughter was terrified of the dentist from a poor experience at another office. All of the staff have helped her get over that and now she enjoys going to the dentist. I recommend Oak Forest Family Dental to everyone!
