Meena Goel, DDS

**WARNING DO NOT GO HERE!!!** The people that work there are CROOKS!!! THEY ARE MONEY HUNGRY! I needed to get a check up and saw a groupon online that stated $ 49 for exam, x Rays, and a regular cleaning. When I called to set up an appointment, they told me that I could just pay them when I come in and not to buy the groupon. I went and got my exam+ x Rays. The dentist, Meena Goel, told me I had gum disease, that I needed a deep cleaning, that my wisdom teeth needed to be pulled out, and that I needed two fillings! Then she left and had her assistant Sandra come in to persuade me to get the deep cleaning done that same day for $ 400 in Cash specifically. She said I couldn’t get my regular cleaning which mind you was CLEARLY A PART OF MY PACKAGE, because the dentist could get in trouble since she diagnosed me with gum disease. She kept insisting I get the procedures done that same day and to pay in CASH! I told them I would come back at a later time. I went to another dentist to get a second opinion and that dentist told me I just needed a regular cleaning and that I DID NOT need to get my Wisdom teeth pulled out nor did I have any cavities! I was so upset I called Meena Goel’s office so I could get my regular cleaning done because It was in the groupon package that I already paid for. When I called and tried to explain, the manager was EXTREMELY RUDE to me and told me that I would not be able to get my reg cleaning through them and that I would have to pay the $ 400 for the deep cleaning. She told me to go back to the other dentist and hung up on me. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR AN HONEST DENTIST DO NOT GO HERE! THEY ARE LIERS AND THIEVES!!!

I went in with my 7y/​o son and 6y/​o daughter today. Sandra the assistant took us in she was so friendly and good with the kids we felt very welcomed instantly. She explained everything not only to me but to the kids too. We had an appointment at 2 we were done by 2:30. My kids got brand new toothbrush, floss and toothpaste as a gift and also a toy from their treasure trunk. Sandra and the receptionist were so helpful they gave me all the answers I asked about my insurance. Highly recommend office!

I changed my dentist this year after getting married, and I now see Dr. Goel at Avid Dental. My husband has been seeing her for years and has always raved about how great she is. With medical and dental visits, I find that the visit is always either wonderful or horrible. Hard to have an average experience. It turns out, my husband was right, and Dr. Goel was on the wonderful side. I’ve been to Avid Dental twice now and each visit has been pleasant, painless, efficient, and comfortable.
The staff at Avid always greets me with a smile as soon as I walk in and I’ve never had to wait more than 3 minutes to be seen. They’ve been very accommodating any time I’ve had to reschedule an appointment or change the time last minute. Even better, they take evening appointments on certain days so I don’t have to disrupt my work day. The hygienists are skilled and are great about getting me set in the room and taking my x-​rays.
Dr. Goel is clearly a dentist who knows her stuff. She’s very thorough and really takes her time during her examination. You never feel rushed by her and she is always happy to answer any questions you might have. She offers so many services and really went out of her way to help me fix my smile through some filings and whitening treatments to get me ready for my wedding last month. My husband has had a few different types of services from Avid over the years and each one has always gone perfectly smooth. More importantly, Dr. Goel’s friendly demeanor helps put you instantly at ease. She remembers you personally and you feel like she truly cares about your well being. This office is perfect for patients of all ages and teeth types — whether you’re going just for a standard cleaning or if you need some heavy duty root canals, I would strongly recommend Avid for any dental scenario.
The only tough part is making the trek out from downtown to Mt. Prospect (though there is an awesome Thai restaurant near the practice that makes me not really mind the drive at all). My husband works in that area so it’s easy for him. But Dr. Goel mentioned she has a downtown location that is just 2 blocks from my office so I will be trying out that one soon.

Dr. Goel is amazing! She’s attentive, warm, personable, and dedicated to providing high quality dental care for her patients. I travel to Mount Pleasant from downtown Chicago (South Loop), and it has been 100% worth it.
I shopped around for dentists in Chicago who took my insurance (MetLife) and was astonished by how Dr. Goel’s practice blew the other places I visited away. The environment of the office is calm, serene, and relaxing — for me, Dr. Goel’s office has certainly been a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Above all, I’m incredibly impressed with how Dr. Goel dedicates herself to learning cutting edge dental care technologies. For example, crowns and inlays can be made in her office on the same day as your appointment! And you can watch this amazing crown-​and-​inlay-​making machine at work while you wait! It’s a neat process to witness — my inlays took 7 – 12 minutes to make. In short, Dr. Goel’s dedication to providing the best dental care to her patients through continuing her education is evident in the amazing work she does.
Dr. Goel’s staff (Hi T and S!) are wonderful as well, and have been extremely helpful in answering my questions before and after my appointments. Also, I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen! (Right?! So rare.) This practice is a hidden gem, and I am so glad I found it. Thank you, Dr. Goel!

This office is great! Dr. Goel and staff are very friendly and competent. The office is very nice and there was no trouble with my insurance. Overall, I was very happy!
