Yvette Collins, DDS

Just want to say Dr Collins is a great dentist and a great friend! I’ve been with her for 9 years now and I can’t be happier anywhere else!

Great holistic dentist. You couldn’t be in better hands. She actually understands how everything she uses impacts the body. She will even test reactivity before doing an implant when too few dentists (or other surgeons) will in order to avoid an inflammatory response (and subsequent issues that can include auto immune disease). She has moved from the location listed on Huron.
I highly recommend getting the lymphatic drainage treatment. You’ll feel sick for the rest of the day and wake up feeling like a million.

I saw Dr. Collins after seeing several dentists who unfortunately made mistakes on my mouth. I subsequently lost 3 teeth due to these prior dentists’ mistakes. I also had an oral surgeon disregard my biocompatibility test that showed a blood test that I am allergic to some dental materials. Right away Dr. Collins was very aware of the biocompatibility test and has honored that. With the loss of the three teeth and the allergic reactions, it resulted in 3 ulcers in my mouth. I had other dental practitioners disregard the ulcers saying they’d go away. When I saw Dr. Collins, she used Ozone therapy and lymphatic drainage on the ulcers and 2 went away within a few days and the 3^rd one went away within a week after I had it for a couple of months. I only trust Dr. Collins to work on my mouth at this point. She is extremely thorough and takes a holistic approach while ensuring that the materials that are going into my mouth are compatible with my body.

I saw Dr. Collins for a few years and things went fine. I thought I had finally found the one.
But then two days after my last cleaning, the back of my right jaw started to give me incredible pain and the gum at the back of the jaw began to protrude over my back teeth. Aspirin could not kill the pain. I was away for the weekend so I made an appointment for the next week when I returned. Dr. Collins was sympathetic but she could not identify the cause of the problem. In fact, she recommended that I have my tooth pulled. This seemed very drastic and illogical to me. After all, a week earlier there was nothing wrong with the tooth!
I decided to wait it out. I figured that she must have dislodged some bacteria when cleaning my teeth the week before and that it had then somehow infected my gum. So I started rinsing with peroxide. The pain went away within a few days. And the swelling immediately started to go down. I did NOT have to have my tooth pulled as she recommended.
I was very disappointed when this happened. I really like Yvette and thought that she had done a good job up until then. She is super nice and so is all of her staff. And the ambience of the office is warm, welcoming, and artistic.

I have been seeing Dr. Collins for years now, and after going through a number of other awful dentist, I finally scheduled an appointment. I had my braces off in 1999 and she was the only one to ask why I still had glue residue on my teeth! I couldn’t believe it. Dr. Collins is very thorough and she really takes time to care about each patients specific needs. As I’m reading these other negative reviews I find them hard to believe at all as all of her staff is friendly and answer immediately, I don’t think I’ve ever left a message in the 6 – 7 years I’ve been going to the office. Great location as well!

I have been a patient of Dr Collins since moving to Chicago 5 years ago. Her attention to my concerns (I am a reluctant dental patient) is phenomenal! The staff is extremely caring. Dr Collins gently suggests and thoroughly explains options and I particularly appreciate her holistic approach.

Doctor Collins threatened to sue me for writing a negative review of her on Unilocal.That’s about all you need to know. Those are the facts.

I called Doctor Collins’ office on a recent Friday to inquire about getting some work done. I left a message on their voice-​mail, and never heard back. I’ve since found another dentist.

This office is like a spa! The décor is modern and relaxing. I haven’t been to the dentist in years and Dr. Collins explained the whole process of what she was doing with patience and care. I wasn’t nervous and it was actually a very pleasant experience. I will be going back, for sure.
