Patient Stories

What patients are saying.

A few reviews from patients across both offices.

★★★★★

"Dr. Brunetti did an amazing job. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed and experienced little to no pain or swelling afterward. The procedure went really well and was super fast — especially with my huge fear of anesthesia. I'd recommend this to everybody."

GOOGLE REVIEW · WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL

★★★★★

"I called at 9am with a decaying wisdom tooth, and they got me in at 2:30. I was in and out by 2:37. I highly recommend Dr. Brunetti and his team — the office staff were so nice, and everyone was working hard with huge smiles."

GOOGLE REVIEW · SAME-DAY EXTRACTION

★★★★★

"Dr. Brunetti was kind enough to accept my appointment on very short notice because of how much pain I was in, and my extraction was essentially painless and incredibly quick. On top of it all, it was very reasonably priced."

GOOGLE REVIEW · EMERGENCY EXTRACTION

★★★★★

"I went for my 93-year-old mom's tooth removal. He offered to do it the same day and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and pain-free. Prices are great too, compared to most places out there."

GOOGLE REVIEW · TOOTH EXTRACTION

★★★★★

"I was referred by my primary dentist for a second opinion on an implant with bone grafting. I was blown away by Dr. Brunetti's honesty, kindness, and great advice. He treated me with respect and genuine care throughout."

GOOGLE REVIEW · IMPLANT CONSULTATION

★★★★★

"As someone who has always dreaded dental visits, this was one of the very few times I felt comfortable in a dental office. Dr. Brunetti was exceptionally patient, knowledgeable, and kind throughout my visit."

GOOGLE REVIEW · PATIENT EXPERIENCE

GOOGLE REVIEW · WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL, LAKE ZURICH

★★★★★

"On the first visit, we were seen right away and given thorough information about my daughter's wisdom teeth removal. On the day of surgery, she was seen right away and out almost 30 minutes ahead of schedule. They have an amazing team!"
