Very good atmosphere from the reception staff to the professionals who do the work. Dr. May is awesome with the ability to make you feel comfortable and confident with his skills. I just had some extractions and the whole process was fairly painless and quickly done. I recommend
I have been going to Midwest Dental for most of my life, all the way back to when they used to have big ol' plastic tooth seats. At least I'm pretty sure they used to have them.
Anyways, the people here are great, super friendly, and professional . Nothing but good things to say about the staff and services here!
These guys are absolutely wonderful! They're very kind and considerate when taking care of you to and through making sure there's no pain and you're comfortable. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone's seeking dental work.

Through, and knowledgeable, did not try to push high priced products and procedures, which was wonderful. Upfront with what was needed and why, making me aware of all my treatment options. Let me know what to expect and how much it would cost. Did not demand that I make a decision at that very moment. Office and treatment areas were very clean, and found outstanding, kind, caring staff. Finally, a Dentist and staff I feel I can trust.
Took my 7 year old daughter. Ivy was absolutely enamored with the staff at Midwest Dental and she isn’t one who typically loves strangers. She needs quite a bit of work done but they put her at ease right away. So appreciative of them, that my husband and I will be switching to this office with our other 2 children.
I had a lot of work done two crowns and a cavity. I had absolutely no pain before the work during the work or after the work was completed. My temporary crowns are working great and I have no fear Of the dentist anymore
There are no words for the amount of great appreciation I have for Midwest Dental. When I was in a ton of pain to the point of not being able to eat or barely drink Dr. Jerry and all the amazing staff where there to help me through and he was determined to figure it out and get it taken care of as quickly as possible. If you are looking for a dentist I highly recommend visiting Midwest dental.
I have had very bad experiences at the dentist....But when I went to midwest dental they was so kind and caring and the dentist I seen Dr.May he was so down to earth and his assistant was great as well! I would highly recommend them to anyone
Everyone was friendly from the front desk, the dentist and the lady who cleaned my teeth. They were all very professional and the facility was very clean.
I have a great experiences everyone time I have came to Midwest Dental in Pekin. I love my dental hygienist Sara, we always have great conversations. The Receptionist are great also. Thank you all!
You have got to see Dr. Jerry Kassandra. Really cares for the patient and works to make sure you are comfortable and provides the best care I have had in many years of dental needs. Great support staff as well.
Broke a piece off my tooth. Got right in to see what needed to be done and Dr May and Kassandra both made time to get a temporary crown put on the same day. Very nice, efficient and made sure I was not uncomfortable. Highly recommend the Pekin office! Very nice people.
Dr. May and Kassandra were very helpful and made it very pleasant to come to the dentist. I have bad anxiety when coming to the dentist but they helped ease that.
I can’t say enough great things about the staff at Midwest Dental. Dr. Shawn May is a very experienced and phenomenal dentist. I’ve truly never had a bad experience with him. I’m someone who dreads fillings, but not with Dr. May - he is quick, efficient, and professional.
This dentist office is very welcoming. We have referred friends who like it also. My hygienist is super friendly. Each open room has nice decorations. The dentist is respectful of cost and doesn't try to push services.
Very good people care alot for you as a patient and as a person. Normally don't like going to a dentist but would highly recommend this place. Again great bunch of people from receptionist Dr's assistant teeth cleaning and Dr himself. All tr
y to keep it pain free as possible. Do not hesitate to go to Midwest dental will not be disappointed.
I want to start off by saying today was my first time here. The staff was pleasant excellent. Receptionist never smiled and seemed irritable. Dr Jerry… is absolutely amazing doctor! He is patient and kind. He made me feel very comfortable through my fear of the dentist.
Switched to Midwest Dental because of a change in insurance. Professional and friendly staff and works with my schedule to get me in. Excellent screening and hygiene appointments.
My daughter was complaining of mouth pain and they were able to get her in and treated right away. The Dr was very kind, made her feel comfortable and explained everything in terms she could understand. I highly recommend this clinic!
My first visit today with Dr Jerry was fantastic. Who’s not afraid to go to the dentist, I sure am. I’ve had a lot of dental work over the years and this office and doctor are the best. Every single person I came in contact with was amazing. I felt that they cared about me, my needs, my comfort and my finances.
Everyone has to go to the dentist at some point, if you’re looking, give them a try.
Excellent service all the way around from greetings at the front desk to excellent service from my hygienist to friendly and thorough dentist! Love this office and highly recommend it to all who are looking!
Kassandra did an amazing job fixing my crown because of my habit and grinding my teeth, and once she fixed it, it felt better than it was before. I can tell when she was fixing my crown, she knew what she was doing, and has lots of experience in the dental field.
Midwest receptionist was very kind and I had a fantastic dental assistant breonna. Once I met Dr May I immediately connected & felt comfortable. He made my molar extraction go with ease and was very impressed with him so my anxieties depleted quickly! Thank you to all the Midwest dental staff.
Carla is an excellent hygienist & Bridget was able to get me in sooner & Alayna was helpful In rescheduling!
Very very good experience!
On 8/4 I went in for a crown rebuild & Dr May is Very very good! His assistant, Rachel was awesome as well! The front desk girl, Koda was Great as well! Love them all!
I went to Midwest dental on Friday August 3rd 2023 to have a tooth extracted as soon as I met the doctor I knew I felt absolutely no pain when he pulled my tooth and he was always asking me how I'm doing making sure I was in no pain I highly recommend Midwest dental
My 4-year-old son had his very 1st positive dental visit this week. He has autism. It's usually difficult to find professionals who have experience with patients with special needs. He had a comfortable visit with very little stress. Dr. Jerry was fantastic!! Kassandra was patient. TY
The office staff was pleasant. The dental hygienist was friendly and efficient. I didn't have to wait very long at all. The office atmosphere was professional and friendly.
I have to hand it to Midwest Dental they are very professional and passionate. They will get you in and out in a timely manner and they care how you feel while undergoing treatment. 5/5 best dental experience for me. I recommend them if you’ve had bad experiences in the past!
Took my son in for a checkup. Saw Dr Delfs who said my son had an infection. Instead of doing anything about it she referred him to pediatric dentistry and said he should be seen there for all his care including check ups. Which would be fine but peds dentist has a 2 month waiting list. Am I just supposed to let this infection sit for 2 months because a family dentistry place can't take care of a dental infection?. Will not go back as long as she works there. Prior dentists they had were great. She is horrible. Update. They finally got rid of her, and we had a great experience afterward.
This dentist and the staff are awesome. Very thoughtful, caring and kind in the treatment you receive. They are honest and help you get the treatment you need with out any extra cost and are best dentists office I have ever been in.
The new dentist, Dr. May is absolutely wonderful. He puts you at ease and spent time explaining what needed to be done in a way that I could understand and has a great sense of humor. Put me at ease.
I had a great experience! I was made to believe for years that my wisdom teeth had to be surgically extracted. I went to Midwest Dental yesterday for pain in my mouth and he took it out right then and there! I was so relieved I may or may not have shed a few tears :) I have an appointment to have my other one removed next week. He was kind, he consistently asked if I was in pain and if I was okay. The ladies assisting him were fantastic as well! I look forward to going back and I appreciate that he did not just tell me he couldn't help me like my previous dentist had done. Friendly, welcoming, helpful, and gets the job done! Thank you Midwest Dental!
My hygienist was Becky and she was awesome! I briefly met Dr. Ibrahim and he seems knowledgeable and we put together a cleaning schedule.
The lobby and office were clean and I was welcomed promptly. I can’t speak on billing yet since I just had my visit on 4/4/2022. I hope all goes well with that. At this time I am very happy with Midwest Dental.
Excellent service with Dr. Shah. He is the best dentist I ever had. 2 crowns. Meticulous with his work and details for excellence. Very friendly and personal. Making sure you are pain free.
The assistants were excellent as well. So happy he is in Pekin.
I have been coming here for as long as they have had the office in Pekin Il. The same for my wife. We love our Sara who cleans our teeth. A sweetheart and does a great job and is constantly checking with you that you are o.k. The dentist i was seeing here had to quit for medical reasons and they had 2 floater dentists in. The gentleman that took care of my canine with a big cavity on the tip was efficient and the procedure painless. Never a problem with the company as far as working with Delta Dental, my insurance company. I would highly recommend this office to anyone in need of dental care. Both previous dentists i have had there as caregivers were great dentists . I had cavities filled and crowns. They showed me everything on the computer screen before the work so i knew they were not doing shady drill for money work like a dentist i had when i lived in another city, that was not affiliated with any company.
Since I will not get the same dentist as the last time I was in, I cannot rate a specific dentist for you but the company and the care I have received in the past is exceptional.. Wgm
If you are in need of amazing staff and dentist look no farther. Carla was my hygentist and has the most caring and compassion for her job and work. I am a person who can literally say I HATE going to the dentist but Let me tell you. I had my second deep cleaning with her yesterday and yes literaly was laughing during the procesure. Dr. Abraham is the best dentist hands down when it comes to care and compassion and reassurance that you will be in good hands. Looking for a new Dentist I definetly would recommend Midwest Dental in Pekin.
Very friendly staff that make you feel at ease. No long waits and great communication. Dentist I had was very friendly and did a wonderful job. The dental hygienists I had were both wonderful. One was really friendly and amazing for my first time in awhile since going so I was nervous. She immediately put me at ease. The second one was great too. They have such a good flow there. I have zero complaints.
Dr. Connolly is the best! I had a fair amount of anxiety going in, and he completely set my mind at ease. He is super friendly and has a very calming demeanor...very kind, patient and compassionate. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
We all know how painful it is to bring your kids to the dentists as a parent. Midwest staff has done a great job on making it as easy as possible. A. tremendous amount of patience from the entire staff to allow the best experienceas possiblefor my kids. Thank you all.
I appreciate the kindness and understanding by both the dentist and assistant regarding my financial situation and being willing to work with me! The little girl who did my impression was just as sweet as she old be! Thank you!
I absolutely love this office and staff! I have Had a great experience each and every time. They are so kind, caring, and always willing to listen & answer my questions. They provide exceptional pre & post care education. My lifelong fears and anxiety about dentistry have subsided thanks to this office. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such good care of me :-)
Dr. Connolly has taken some of the fear out of a dental visit-- for that I am really appreciative! He takes the time to explain what and how it's going to be done. I've got such a sensitive mouth. It's nice having someone so honest and personable... And educational.
I love going here. It's easy to make an appointment and the dental hygienists are very professional and most important very friendly. I never have any issues! Staff does a fantastic job welcoming patients.
All of our family visits Midwest Dental. We have for years. Our Sons basically have been going there since they have been in school. The Staff is so kind, caring, and very professional. The office is clean. We've had no problems making appointments. They explain all the procedures very thoroughly, and even make the experiences there for smaller children as much as possible. I remember they gave my Son a pair of sunglasses to wear one time because he thought the lights were to bright in his eyes when he was laying back in the chair getting his teeth cleaned. I would certainly recommend them without a doubt, and have to co workers of mine. They like going here as well.
My first visit was excellent. My follow up visit with Dr. Connelley for 5 cavities was excellent, too!! Was out of there way ahead of schedule and perfect work.
Due to a physical illness, my teeth are "dying," and need extracted and dentures put in. All the staff treated me with passion, and Dr. Connelly spent a long time explaining why it is imperative to get it done now, and how dentures will change my life. I left with a summary of expenses and a better understanding of why this happened when I had taken care of my teeth.
I'm new to this office but we had excellent service. They were great with my 4 year old and myself. I scheduled many appointments in the future to further our business with them.
We have been going here for years. Sarah and Carla are both great hygienists. On my last visit, Dr. Connolly found a tooth that should be extracted. I had a million questions and he took a lot of extra time to answer and discuss options in detail. He did this more than one time. The team at Midwest were very helpful.
I have gone here for years (many years with Dr Burge) Everyone is very professional and very friendly. I haven’t needed anything other than cleaning for a long time.
I have continued to come here because of Sarah, she is the best!
Have been going here for many years (when Dr. Burge was still practicing). Have always had a very pleasant experience. Sarah always takes good care of me, and the dental assistants are the best. Dr. Lentz is a new addition to the staff, and he is wonderful! He explained everything he was doing, and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I would definitely recommend this practice to everyone.
I hadn't been to the dentist in 20 years. They took care of me. Walked me through each step. They cleaned my teeth. Just had 2 fillings done in about 20 minutes. Very attentive to detail in their work and taking care of their patients. I also really like their email and text reminders for my appointments. I highly recommend them!
Always receive awesome service by Carla and Dr. Lucy! I drive a half an hour for an appointment and pass a dozen other dentist offices but I like this one so it's worth the drive!
They gave me great service since day one, ,I am happy to tell people that, and I have been asked, friendly, busy place as they are booked , I'd recommend to Anyone,

My husband and I have been going to Midwest Dental for quite some time. Dr. Burge was our first dentist. He retired and then Dr. Opis took over. I have always had an enjoyable visit. Everyone is very friendly and willing to answer all questions. I highly recommend Midwest Dental. If you are afraid of dentists, have know fear. Midwest Dental will make you feel very comfortable. I rate you +++++++++++
I was there yesterday and I had to get 2 teeth pulled. Dr. Lucy is AWESOME and so is her crew. They are always so friendly and they like to joke around which is right up my alley. I will never change dentist. Love Midwest Dental!!!
I've been going here for several years, first with Dr. Burge, and since he has retired I've seen Dr. Opris. Everyone there is awesome, I highly recommend them.
