Christopher W Forte, DDS

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Forte’s since about May of 2011. I am extremely happy that I found a dentist that has patience, listens to my concerns and doesn’t push services on me that I don’t need. Since I have switched to Dr. Forte’s office, I actually get my teeth cleaned 2x a year and don’t dread my dental visits. I’ve also had two root canals in his office and was able to tolerate both with no pain. I feel extremely comfortable with all of his services.
Lynn, the office manager, is always available to help answer any questions relating to billing and insurance before and after my procedures.
I am in my early 50’s and my teeth look and feel fabulous. I am so lucky that I found a dentist that I can trust. Thanks Dr. Forte!

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Forte for the past four years. I have never had a problem getting an appointment, Dr. Forte is always welcoming and friendly, and he does a great job. We recently began bringing our two young children in for their first dental visits. They were apprehensive at first, but soon Dr. Forte had them smiling and comfortable. They have even asked when they can go back which I never expected would happen after a visit to the dentist. I would highly recommend Dr. Forte for all of your family’s dental needs.

Pleasant and talented dentist with very dishonest billing practices… I’m still paying for my ONE visit over a year later, despite being assured that a majority of the services would be covered by my dental insurance. X-​rays, cleaning, and 6 cavities (small ones) cost me $ 2200, of which only $ 1000 was covered by insurance. That’s $ 1200 out-​of-​pocket for a single, albeit long, visit. Awful!

I know that usually normal people don’t like to go to their dentist. Sometimes it hurts, you have to wait forever with a lot of strangers and a very bad magazine selection, and most of the time you get yelled at because you don’t floss enough. Right?
Well nothing like that with Dr. Forte. Yes he’s in the suburbs so that doesn’t make it easy for us city dwellers. But being far and away has some good sides… To name a few:
1. a parking lot. Always free. Two steps tops from the entry door.
2. a luxuriously redecorated waiting room, with wood-​panel, a fireplace and a lot of nice magazines.
3. virtually no wait — which makes the previous point kind of useless but anyway — it’s nice to enter a doctor’s office which doesn’t look like it’s stuck in the 70s. At least I appreciate it.
4. a TV in hell itself!!! You can lay down on the chair, have your dentist tickle your teeth and gums and listen to your favorite program. I say listen because it’s tough to actually watch the screen since it’s on the wall and not on the ceiling. Someone should point that out to him.
5. you get out lectured on your flossing, true, but at least you have also been given a brand new toothbrush and its undying companion — a whole 100 yards of menthol floss!!! (I almost typed ‘mental’; I think that the expression ‘mental floss’ is actually quite appropriate to describe this review…)
6. you go out and can go say hi to the monkeys at the Brookfield Zoo just across the street.
What are you waiting for to call and make an appointment?
