Nadine Brodala DDS, MS

I recently cracked a tooth right down to the gum so it couldn’t be saved and I went through the annoying 6 month process of repairing it and getting an implant. Dr. Brodala made this as positive of an experience as she could possibly have made it. She has a gentle way about her and is a true professional. She spends the time she needs to with you to make you comfortable — no rushing you in and out as if you are a number. I highly recommend her (and I’m VERY picky and seldom write reviews so this is a testament to her). She’s also just a top notch person and very likeable. Thank you!

Dr. Brodala is the best of the best. I had been a very satisfied patient of Dr. Richard Yamada, who recently retired from Periodontics, Ltd, so when I needed a crown lengthening procedure, I looked for another periodontist in the same practice. I saw Dr. Brodala’s glowing reviews on Unilocal and made an appointment with her.
Dr. Yamada had set the bar very high – and Dr. Brodala achieved that and more! A crown lengthening involves removing a section of the gum to expose more of the tooth in preparation for dental work on that tooth. As you can imagine, there is a lot of potential for pain and bleeding afterward.
Dr. Brodala has a cheerful demeanor and a great sense of humor – but most importantly, she is an excellent surgeon. After my surgery, I had ZERO pain and ZERO bleeding. When she asked me if there was anything that could make me feel better after surgery, I replied, «Yes, chocolate!»
She didn’t miss a beat. Dr. Brodala pulled out her prescription pad and wrote me a script for chocolate.
Needless to say, I highly recommend her!

Yesterday I went to Dr. Brodala on the recommendation of my dentist. I had to have some gum and jawbone work done before replacing old caps. She explains the procedure and doesn’t rush you in any way. I have had more than my share of dental work over the years because I was hit by a car in college which resulted in multiple broken teeth. Based on my years of experience, now in my 60s, I can say she is the best periodontist I’ve gone to. Fabulous… it was surprisingly painless (really), and she is so calming and cheerful that I didn’t even feel like I was in a doctor’s office. A day later, she called me to followup and ask how I was healing. It was perfect because I did have a little question that I wouldn’t have bothered her with, but there she was on the phone. By the way, I went to the Skokie office and everyone on the staff was competent and friendly. Perfect experience all around.

Dr. Brodala (Dr. B) is absolutely phenomenal. For anyone who needs work done on their gums in the Chicago area, do not go anywhere else. Dr. B, first and foremost, is a top of the line surgeon, and takes a great deal of pride in her work. Not only was her work on my gums flawless, but the way she followed up to make sure I was healing properly, was impeccable. Her excellence extends way beyond her skill, as she is such a kind and warm person. It isn’t super comfortable going into surgery (of any kind), but Dr. Brodala had the most sensitive way of making me feel secure and at ease.
The first thing I look at when I meet someone is their smile. Choosing Dr. B was the best decision I could have made. She made my smile beautiful. You will not come across a more capable Periodontist.

I went to Dr. Brodala (Nadine!) on my dentist’s recommendation. I needed an implant. My dentist told me that I would love Dr. Brodala. — Boy, was she right! What a great experience! Did I just say that about an extraction /​bone graft /​implant? I did!
The second you meet Dr. Brodala, you’ll feel safe. She’s amazingly calm, very funny, confident, gentle and isn’t going to try to sell you something you don’t need. She’ll show you what she sees and then let you decide what to do. When it’s pretty evident what needs to be done, she kinda apologizes as she reassures you — she totally understands what your experience is. The procedures were about as pain-​free as they get, considering what I had done. You’re not going to find a sweeter, more competent periodontist, anywhere in Chicago. She has an office in Skokie too.
Do yourself a favor and see Dr. Brodala if you have any issues with your gums or you need an implant. She is a find!

I had an emergent extraction /​bone graft with Dr. Nadine Brodala DDS, MS. (The bone graft is preparation for a future implant). Dr Brodala is highly educated /​highly skilled and she put me at ease instantly. I experienced no post procedure swelling and did not need any of the prescribed pain meds. She was probably the kindest medical practitioner (physician or dentist) I have ever come in contact with. I truly was amazed at how pleasant she was. She also had a sense of humor. As I had the extraction on July 3^rd, she then called on July 4^th to see how I was doing. Who does that?

The second I met Dr. Brodala I was immediately put at ease. She was friendly and comforting (and funny!), and explained everything very clearly from the beginning. Her knowledge and skill level was obviously well refined, but I was most impressed about was that although no one really wants to have a dental implant, it was– I know this sounds strange– a pleasant experience. That night she even called to check on me. I never had anyone do that before.
Highly recommended. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you Dr. B!
