I feel it’s easy for people to take the time to complain but they hardly take the time to do a positive shout out. I have been dealing with a horrible problem with my jaw bone/gums. Dr. Porath and his staff did such a fantastic job making sure I got in, gotten taken care of to the best of their abilities and then getting me to a specialist. Even when they have a tight schedule, Dr. Porath makes time to take care of his patients. They didn’t make me feel bad, or as a burden and took their time helping me know all my options and what I’ll be going through. Great group of people!!!

My husband had a tooth break in his denture. For most people this wouldn’t be a problem. For us it becomes a dilemma. My husband suffers from Cataplexy (symptoms of Narcolepsy) and anything new or anxiety provoking causes him to feel like he is losing control and causes panic attacks. If I accompany him, it helps, but what really helped was the fact that the receptionists, the hygienist and the dentist were ALL so friendly and helpful! This put my husband at ease and helped him get through the process of getting his tooth in his denture fixed. Midwest Dental was also able to send his denture to the lab in the early am and my husband got his repaired denture back later that same afternoon! There is more. While I was waiting for my husband to have his exam, a Spanish speaking individual came into the office for assistance. This individual was able to get help through a translator and the staff were able to communicate to this person what they needed to know to make an appointment and get the services they needed! I was more than impressed!!! I would most certainly recommend Midwest Dental to everyone!

I had a sudden tooth issue arise, my previous dentist retired and I was looking for a new place. I reached out to Midwest Dental, with an appointment cancellation, they were able to get me in within 15 minutes and on the same day. After an initial assessment, they were able to get my in again the next day for a procedure. The staff were very kind and friendly, easy to talk to and any questions I had were answered. I feel the procedure was well done and no issues. I will be going back in the future.
Midwest Dental got me in right away for my emergency issue. They are always so pleasant, and caring there. I always feel confident with Dr. Poraths decisions on what is happening, and what the next step we should take.

It was a good experience concidering what I had to have done. I was very nervous, a big baby, but the Doctor and his assistant were very calming and seemed to care about my insecurities.
