Damas M John, DDS

I got my own braces with Dr Damas in 1992 at the Oak Forest location — Every teenager I knew who got their braces with him ended up with the best teeth when compared to all of our friends…
I am bringing my 11 yr old daughter in for a consult next week —
If he is still as good as he was 20+ years ago, I feel confident in my choice,
I will update this review at a later date with my «new» experience!

I went to Dr. Damas for invisalign, and am so happy with the results. I should’ve had braces a long time ago, my teeth were not in good shape! Now I get so many compliments. He was so friendly & always entertaining as was the whole staff. The ladies at the front desk are the best too! I never had to wait to be seen and the office is very welcoming and clean. He was so detailed with my teeth and just really did a great job. They were not harsh with the treatment, and the year and a half that I had my invisalign was a breeze. Worth every penny, and also very reasonable pricing! Highly recommend!!!

I’ve decided to write an update for those of you who may be considering using Dr. Damas.
After my original Unilocal review below, I received a phone call from Dr. Damas. He expressed his concerns regarding our experience and reminded me that he came in on a Saturday for my daughter in an emergency early in her treatment. He then proceeded to insist that I remove my Unilocal review, seemingly not taking «no» for an answer. When I told him I would update the review regarding his emergency visit (Isn’t that what Dr’s are supposed to do in an emergency anyway? Nothing so special?) he kept insisting that he didn’t want it edited, but that he wanted me to remove the Unilocal review all together. I did edit the review and gave an extra star for the emergency visit, but I did not remove it,
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I value
and the ability to hear about real experiences, good and bad. I look to this site on a regular basis when making my decisions. I do not respond well to being bullied into removing my honest opinions about our experience. With this in mind, I will let you, the readers, be the judge of this Dr’s character.
Since that time, my daughter had a visit where I specifically asked the Dr. in writing, to please not place any chains or rubber bands on her braces during this visit because we have been battling severe migraine headaches, which he was very well aware. When I picked up my daughter from this appointment, she was in tears saying that he put on a new chain and rubber bands, even though I asked him not to, and that her headache was returning very rapidly. Needless to say, I was livid.
We will be completing our care with Dr. Damas because it is already paid for, but I would not recommend that anyone use him in the future.
For more details on this practice read my original review below.

They have a very friendly staff. They always seem to be in a good mood. The staff made my daughters 2 years of wearing braces quite enjoyable. The price for braces was inline with other dentists. The sitting area is very clean and they have a ticker with sports and other news related intel. They have free ice cream and popcorn for kiddies during the summer months.
