Hartmann John G, DDS

Dr. Hartmann is an excellent dentist, and I highly recommend him for anyone living in the Oak Park/​River Forest area. He is great with both adults and kids. His office has a relaxed atmosphere with enough to keep kids entertained without being entirely focused on pediatric dentistry. They are always on time, if not early, and they do quick, efficient, and comfortable cleanings and examinations. Everyone on staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. Dr. Hartmann even makes getting cavities filled a much less unpleasant experience. If you are looking for a dentist for the whole family, or even just for yourself, you should check them out.

Ok, so I don’t go to the dentist nearly as often as I should. In fact, Dr. Hartmann asks my parents about me, because it’s been awhile. But I moved 25 miles away, so I blame the distance.
I had some very very bad experiences with other dentists as a kid. So when we found Dr. Hartmann, I was happily relieved. My parents eventually switched over to him, too, about 10yrs ago when they realized how bad their previous dentist was (couldn’t listen to me, had to find out for themselves…)
He’s nice and understanding, especially if you’re a fearful patient, or have issues like a small mouth and strong gag reflex. And he doesn’t yell if you have an unexpected allergic reaction to the novacaine and get sick all over the room.
And he’s got a treasure box with stickers and little toys for the kids after their appt’s. I was very sad when I got to be too old for a prize.
