My wife and I as enjoyed our experience. We travel 45 minutes because we love the work! Their attention to details is awesome and they explain all that is being done. We have been going for over 15 years
I’m 71 years old so you can imagine I’ve been in my fair share of medical offices. I can honestly say that I have never experienced such a congenial and enjoyable staff experience until I came to Midwest Dental about a year ago. They’re a great group of folks who really know their stuff and I see them treating everybody extremely well. Dr. Val leads to the way with her warm smile and enthusiastic and friendly approach. I would highly recommend Midwest Dental if you’re looking for a dentist.
Great experience. I was in for a cleaning and the hygienist was thorough and made me comfortable throughout. The people at this location are always pleasant and professional, and I know I’m getting great care. I highly recommend them for any dentistry needs you may have.
Amazing experience. I’m sure I’m not the only one who hates going to the dentist. Lauren really made me feel comfortable and talked through everything she was doing. The dentist was amazing as well. So friendly and relatable. 10/10 go here!
I had a cracked tooth i thought would be ok until my appointment. Unfortunately it got worse and I was about to fly out of town. I left a vm after hours explaining the situation. The next morning at 6:50am they texted me and got me in that morning. They saved my trip and tooth. They above and beyond. Awesome service.
I cannot say enough about how amazing the entire staff is here. I’ve been other places and I’ve never felt more important in my life. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with just genuine kindness, the front staff is incredibly welcoming. Everything in the office was clean, the staff speaks to you with care and knowledge. They explain your treatment and pricing thoroughly, nothing gets hidden or overlooked. If you’re looking for a dental office where the entire staff goes above and beyond, this is the place. Five stars all the way, highly recommend to anyone who values excellent care, kindness, and professionalism.
Front desk lady and Jade are the absolute best!
With past negative dental experiences, this office is absolutely the best! No negative experiences, super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Also they are reasonable and open to moving appointments around to maximize insurance benefits (if not covered)
The staff at Midwest Dental are wonderful. I have a lot of complicated dental issues, so I mostly speak with Anna the Office Manager who is smart, funny and a pleasure to work with to come up with the right treatment plan for me. I very much appreciate that Dr. Sefton is a perfectionist. I’ve watched her step back, look at her work, and go back in to tweak this or that until it’s a masterpiece. I recommend them to everyone.
I was totally pleased with my first visit to Midwest dental in Elgin Illinois. Everybody from the front desk staff to the hygienist to the dentist. All of them were amazing. I am looking forward to getting my teeth deep cleaned in my two subsequent visits.
Jade is incredibly gentle, thorough, and truly cares about making you feel comfortable during every step of your visit. She takes the time to explain things clearly and genuinely wants what’s best for your dental health
The whole office has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend Jade if you’re looking for a hygienist who’s both knowledgeable, kind, and detail-oriented!
Lauren was very polite and courteous when cleaning my teeth and gave excellent service, highly recommend if your looking for people that maintain a positive environment. DR Sefton also helps me maintain excellent hygiene. I Would recommend this place to anyone in an instant.
Amazing dental practice! Like saving my cat from a burning building next level. Dr. Sefton and her team are next level amazing. As, well as her front desk staff! Just the atmosphere of the office, I always recommend any and everyone to Midwest Dental in Elgin IL !!
I love this location. They are a chain, but I've been going to the Elgin location for years now. I even drive over an hour now to see them because I moved much farther away. But for me, it's worth the drive knowing I'll be treated well and won't be poked or in pain. They are always careful during cleanings to be gentle. And I appreciate that as someone who gets anxiety about dental visits due to prior bad experiences at different offices. Thanks for being kind and caring!
Staff is super down to earth and everyone is very kind. They walk you through every step of the way to make sure every process is as seamless as possible. They make the thought of going to the dentist much better!
Quick and efficient, I'm new to the dental office and so far I am receiving good service and come out with satisfaction from their job. I definitely recommend this office

Dr. Sefton involved me with each decision as we went along. My final result was perfect. Regarding the office and all the staff, they have created a very friendly, yet efficient atmosphere. I will definitely be recommending Midwest Dental to my family and friends.
I couldn't be happier with Dr. Sefton and her staff. They are amazing with my five and seven year olds - my boys actually look forward to going to the dentist! I appreciate how accommodating the staff is when the four of us (my boys, my husband and I) come for our semi-annual appointments and take over the office! I also really appreciate how Dr. Sefton takes the time to listen to my concerns and answer any questions I may have. I couldn't recommend this practice enough!
I had a dental emergency. I called this dental office and they were able to accommodate me as soon as the next day. Their attention to detail was outstanding. Thank you for your prompt service.
Update 07-2024
Another pleasurable visit with MDE, and for all the same reasons. To be fair, I rarely need any fillings, crowns, etc. It's almost always cleaning, check-in with dentist, and I'm on my way. My next appointment (6 mos) has been scheduled.
If you're in need of a dentist (new to area, last dentist retired, or you're just thinking you might like a different one, Dr. Sefton & her staff (Elgin) are worth considering.
========================================
Very happy with Midwest Dental. Great staff: professional, skilled, friendly, and caring. And with the reality that healthcare in general is expensive, they can help you to make the most of your dental healthcare dollars.
I had struggle looking for the right Dentist in the past, however, after a long search, so happy I found relief through Midwest Dental. Service was beyond expectation. Thanks to my Dentist and her team!!!
I’ve moved many times in my life, so I’ve had many Dentists through the years, Dr. Sefton is easily the best Dentist I’ve had. Her staff are part of the reason for my 5 star rating as well.
I moved to the area from out of state and needed a dentist appointment quickly. The staff was very helpful in getting me scheduled the next day. During the exam the hygenest was very personable and the doctor was as well. They took the time to explain everything and make sure I understood what my options were. I am looking forward to developing a great relationship with this practice.
I recommend Dr. Sefton and her staff to anyone who is in need of dental care.
I had a cleaning done and was very pleased with the entire experience. The hygienist was quite thorough and finished faster than expected with minimal sensation. She also identified some places for the dentist to take a look to make sure I’m getting the care I need. They are good at prioritizing what needs to be done and working with me to fit both my budget and schedule.
Everyone I interact with at this practice are friendly and professional. They take care of me and my mouth well. I’m glad to go back for any dental needs.
I think they're fantastic. My family and I have been going there for over 12 years and I've always felt they take the best care. I just think they're the best!
Initial Intake for a new patient was very well done and very professional. I revived X Rays, an exam by a Dental Hygienist plus and exam by the Dentist.
From the moment you walk into Midwest Dental in Elgin until you walk out the door, the staff is friendly and professional. Dental hygienist told me what she was doing step by step, dentist was thorough and took time to explain what I needed. Can you have a pleasant experience at a dental office? The answer is definitely YES.
After moving to the Elgin area and wanted to find a dental office close to home. I received a advertisement through the mail for a ‘New Patient’ offer from Midwest Dental in Elgin. I placed the call to see about availability for an exam and x-rays. My experience was EXCELLENT!! The receptionist worked with me to find a time that met my hectic schedule and due to a cancellation, I was able to schedule my cleaning the same week as my new patient exam. The hygienist, Chris, did an fantastic job cleaning my teeth and Dr. Sefton was so kind, thoughtful, and professional. The office is pleasant, modern, and very welcoming. Thank you Midwest Dental for a great first experience. I’m all set for my 6 month check-up!
Dr. Sefton and all the staff are extremely helpful and caring. I've had a lifetime of problems with my teeth and mouth and they are on top of keeping me healthy.
After years of having just a mediocre dental facility, I had to switch providers. I'm so glad I found Midwest Dental! Dr. Sefton was awesome and the staff is very accommodating, friendly and professional!
My girl and I have been going I have been going to Midwest dental for years! Liz at Reception is kind and professional, plus she gets back to us asap if we have to leave a message. We've seen a few different dentists, and all are thorough, patient with questions, and as nice as can be! The hygienists are also super gentle, fun, and make sure you are comfortable with your cleaning. This practice makes dentist visits less daunting and pretty darn fun!
Sure while I am a little apprehensive about going to the dentist, both the dentist and staff always make me feel comfortable. I like the calm atmosphere.
I have been going to Midwest dental for at least 8 yrs or longer. Each dentist I have had was excellent at evaluating my teeth. The dental hygienists are super nice and thoughtful people when it comes to making sure you are comfortable with the cleaning process. Liz at front desk is very professional and she gets back to me promptly when I've left a message. Great place to have your teeth checked out.
I lost a crown over the weekend and they had to squeeze me in on Monday. Very thorough and professional in correcting my crown. Luckily I had the old crown and it had not been damaged. In and out quickly. Very friendly practice. I always feel comfortable with them.
I would just like to start off by saying ..I have dentist phobia ...my gums and teeth are very sensitive to pain ...and Sara the hygienist gets a 5 star review from me she was awesome ,gentle and very polite .The dentist and other staff members very nice also ...I highly recommmend Midwest dental
Very friendly and accommodating! The Doctors and supporting staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and have great personalities!!! This may only mean something to me, but they have a great sense of humor as well!
Every single person who has been with me during an appointment has been wonderful. From my first exam, Alma made me as comfortable as she could through a crazy series of x-rays, though a few fillings where various doctors and technicians were wonderful and considerate while I almost passed out. Everyone has been kind and patient. I still don't enjoy having hands in my mouth, but I'll keep coming back.
Such a great practice! The whole staff is great at what they do. I went in to have a cavity filled and the dental assistant even patted my hand and rubbed my shoulder while the dentist was administering the shot - such great care! Everything is clean and everyone is friendly.
Great no nonsense work. Got me in during a very busy week. Good techs. Great bedside manner. Will have the Dr. do the rest of my needed work. Prof. Shawn.
As a long-time patient of Dr. McAuslan, I can vouch for her professionalism and competence. She is meticulous about the work she performs, and she always explains the various treatment options to the patient. Everyone else in the office is great to deal with as well.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. McAuslan and her staff.
Judy and I have been very pleased with the friendliness and quality of care we have received from Drs. Walton and McAuslan. The staff is friendly and always pleasant.
A very friendly staff, and they seem to be staying on top of new technology and best practices. I have been coming here for three years and have always been satisfied.
The staff and Dr. Mary are excellent. Liz at the front desk is friendly and helpful. Gabby, the hygienist, is so gentle and does a wonderful job. My husband and I are retired and don't have dental insurance. The office works with us to keep our cost down. Dr. Mary takes a watchful approach and doesn't insist on procedures being done before they're necessary. Love this place. Friendly staff and excellent dental care.
Mary Kane McAuslan is the best dentist I've ever seen. I am now the proud owner of the most beautiful, best fitting teeth I've ever had. If I had met her years ago, I would probably still have the ones God gave me.
She is obviously very skilled. She took great care to do every step perfectly. Everyone in the office is kind and friendly. I'm glad to know there are still people who treat patients like human beings should be cared for. Thank you Dr. McAuslan. I will recomend you to any one who needs a good dentist.
every
Dr. Mary and Alma were the best dentist and assistant I have had so far. Everyone in the office is very friendly and informative! Liz was very helpful in explaining how the billing worked and would let me know upfront what my next bill would be, so I could save up money. The office is very clean and I would definitely recommend this office to all my friends and family in the area!
This week we had another close encounter with perfection. I love these people. Dr. Mary and Gabby are wonderful people. The receptionist and all of these folks laugh easy and treat everyone wonderfully.
My family and I have been going to this dentist, Mary Mcauslan, for 20 years and we really like her. She is very good and keeps up with the latest technology. I now live 50 miles from this office but still drive there for any dental work. I love the staff. They are friendly, caring and extremely good at their jobs. I recommend this office and these people to any who have dental needs.
I have been a patient of Dr. McAuslan since 1998 (20 years). We moved to Florida and I still come back to Illinois for all my dental care. I am totally satisfied with the overall treatment I receive. The staff is caring, very knowledgeable and helpful. Dr. McAulan is gentle and only recommends the necessary treatment. I will contineu to travel to Midwest Dental Elgin for my dental care.

I've been seeing Dr. McAuslan for close to 20 years, and will never change. I've inherited fairly weak teeth, and have had extensive work done there. This week, a root canal and fitting for a crown on a front tooth. As planned, the procedure was long, yet I felt very comfortable. The Doctor gave detailed information on what was being done. As always with Alma and the Doctor, a good sense of humor makes going to the dentist enjoyable. Highly competent dentistry, great staff and a few laughs keep me coming back. Since I have retired, Liz has been helpful with alternate means of financing as well as working with my individual insurance (I no longer have employer dental insurance). p.s. I'm almost able to nap during treatment!
I have been a patient of Dr. M.K.McAuslan forever. After being diagnosed with periodontal disease I found out Dr. McAuslan did not do the surgery herself. I was referred to an Algonquin dentist who I went to & decided he was not for me. Called Liz
& she told me they now had a new dentist, Dr. N.Soto Gonzalez, on staff who was qualified & capable of doing my surgery. The surgery went well. Dr.Gonzalez was so caring to make the surgery as comfortable as possible. She adds more depth to the Elgin office. No need to go elsewhere now. A big thank you to everyone who was involved from Alma who is so kind, Dimpey & Erika, Dr. Mary & Dr.Gonzalez. And to Liz & Stephanie who always seem to get me an appointment when needed.
I had a sudden, horrendous toothache and they squeezed me in immediately. The whole staff was attentive, genuinely kind & caring, yet very professional. Dr. Gonzalez was able to make me comfortable but had to refer me to a specialist. The specialist (and his staff), that she recommended were equally as timely and proficient. A note to parents of small children: I could hear another hygienist and his young patient next to me. The hygienist did a wonderful job relating to his young, chatty patient. I was very impressed by the way he interacted with her. The reception and treatment rooms are clean, bright and cheery. Midwest Dental gets an A+ in every aspect. Wouldn't want them to change a thing!
