I’ve been seeing Dr K for a while now and have enjoyed her part appointments as much as one can enjoy a dentist appointment. The tech’s however, not always the best which is why I was glad to hear she is moving to her own practice in Skokie and I’ll be moving right along with her. Find her at her new location here:

I agree with the other Unilocalers who think she’ll find problems that don’t exist. Of note — I saw her collegue in office about 6 months ago who never even mentioned any of the so-​called problems. After visiting her, I didn’t feel right, contacted a completely different office who couldn’t find the same problem. She just doesn’t sit right with me.
Of note — the front desk staff is miserable to work with. They’ve turned me off from day one. I will never go back here if I can help it.

She appears to have good intentions but is grossly mislead and therefore her approach could be very harmful. She was on the wrong path. She wanted to do a root canal even though I told her it is not needed for that teeth and as I predicted, the teeth recovered on its own and the pain went away, verified by her several months later. Dr. K please read «Money by the Mounthful» by Robert O’Nara first and perhaps also others, such as «Cure Tooth Decay» by Ramiel Nagel later on. After that, maybe google things like these and you will find more. If you do, I think your life will be transformed for the better. Otherwise, you may have big regrets later in life with a lot of harm done to your patients.

Dr. K is fantastic! I think she does a really great job and is very through. It certainly helps that she is personable. I get a really good cleaning and am actually excited prior to my appointments with her. However, her office, Lakeside Dentistry is TERRIBLE!!! (I wrote a separate review for the office). Sad, I’ve had enough of the disorganized, rude, lazy staff and will be looking for a new dentist. Dr. K, if you read this, you should find a new office too, and I’ll be your first patient.

I’ve been going to Dr. K for a year now. I’ve had other dentists, but Dr. K is quick, painless, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her and her very efficient staff.
