Niki R. Laskaris, DDS

I have been coming here for approximately 3 years since their original location. Just had a cleaning done today by Nadia and it was amazing. The staff is friendly, appointment reminders help a lot and Dr. Laskaris doesn’t try to sell you on unneeded procedures; she gives you the dental treatment you need. Even their billing department was patient with my insurance carrier changes. Very much recommended.

I love Dr. Nicki because she is kind gentle and very considerate regarding my previous trauma from other sadists, oops that was supposed to be dentists, who tortured me repeatedly. never once did Dr. Nicki herself bring me pain. I Love her staff too, her entire practice

Niki is a great dentist she knows her stuff and is very gentile… BUT as others have mentioned you need to set aside a whole day for a basic procedure because she hops around room to room and handles too many patients at once. Not very professional or respectful of people’s time.
Also her front office staff is not the friendliest and have no clue on how to bill insurance or patients properly. Even the simplest procedures don’t seem to go smooth and result in many unnecessary statements, phone calls, and just plain headaches.
Bottom line, not bad dental care but with so many better options out there I’d be inclined to advise against this one.

Top notch dental practice all the way. I actually look forward to having work done here, never have experienced pain or problems. Great work!

Dr. Laskaris is definitely one of the better dentists out there. She has been my dentist for over a decade, and will continue to be, as long as she remains in the field. At one point, for some reason, my insurance was not accepted here – so I was forced to see another dentist in my network. The dentist that I seen was no where near as welcoming or as pleasant as Niki and her staff are. The other dentist seemed rushed, anxious, and would take in a heavy breath every time I would ask a question – it was extremely uncomfortable.
I think that if you gave Niki a chance, you would not be disappointed. In regards to nerves /​anxieties /​worries: They will be there – regardless of what dentist you choose. But If you need someone who will not force, scare, or make you feel uncomfortable – Dr. Laskaris is an excellent choice.

Dr Laskaris takes great care of me and my family. Every time! She treats each of us like she is doing the work on her own family. What we appreciate most is that she takes the time to listen to us, get to know us as more than paying customers and is conservative in her treatment. This all adds up to a customized experience. I was at another dentist in town who sent me for root canal after root canal. That dentist said I needed three more. Dr. Laskaris put fillings in and is watching. Two and a half years later, my teeth are doing great! They also do the best zoom whitening around. My wife and I got zoomed here and had great results.

I looked for an in network dentist and this office had high stars. I needed a very (minor) cavity filled between two molars… Should have taken 45 minutes to an hour TOPS. 3 ½ hours later they finally finish… Very unprofessional Laskaris just skips around rooms talking to customers for too prolonged periods of time. I sat in the dentist chair for 50 minutes before the hygienist even came in…
To top it all off… I am going back in today because now I have pain in my tooth where there was absolutely nothing wrong with it before. I will never be going back after I get my free check up.

Very friendly office, and Dr. Laskaris is wonderful!

My family, including my husband and I and our two small children, recently became clients of Dr. Laskaris based upon a friend’s recommendation. And I am SO glad we did.
First-​things-​first: her office is in Park Ridge, about two blocks outside of Chicago city limits. I live in Logan Square and work in downtown Chicago, so I am used to the drama involved with trying to get anywhere in this city: über-​expensive parking decks (or allowing an extra ½ hour to circle a block looking for street parking); packed waiting rooms; hurried staff; and the usual weeks-​long waiting-​list for an appointment for anything.
All of those things are non-​issues here. When I called to schedule my first appointment, they gave me an appointment within the same week. I drove through the city on Northwest Highway, passing all of the credit-​card parking boxes in Edison Park. A few short blocks later, I crossed into Park Ridge, turned on Washington Street and pulled up in front of the office. I was *shocked* to see old-​style parking meters that take nickels, dimes and quarters. NICKELS people! Holy Smokes, I thought I was in a time warp. Turns out, I was just *not* in the city.
Anyway, after the initial shock of discovering that I could park at the front door for a couple of hours for about $ 0.50, I walked up the stairs and entered a most-​beautiful dental office. Not over the top, but really clean, light, serene and modern. No two-​year-​old magazines in this waiting room. Not that I would care, because I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a scheduled appointment.
The hygienists are top-​notch, they really know their stuff and they take the time needed to explain how and why you should do everything. Super gentle, and super laid-​back. There are flat-​screen TVs mounted near the ceiling in every room, so you can watch your favorite cable channel while getting your checkup, cleaning, fillings, whatever.
Dr. Laskaris herself is very skilled … she replaced four very old silver fillings that were causing me problems with brand new tooth-​colored fillings that are nearly invisible. They looked so good, I had her replace a few more on my next visit.
BONUS! Dr. Laskaris also is licensed to administer Botox, so I got the forehead taken care of at the same time as my filings. Again, a great job that took about 10 minutes.
Both of my kids (3 years old and 4 years old) had their very first dentist appointments with Dr. Laskaris, and it couldn’t have gone better. Both of them ask when they can go see the dentist again.
So, success all around. I love going to this non-​Chicago, super nice, really skilled dentist and her staff.

Many people I talk to hate, HATE going to the dentist. I absolutely, positively, down right LOVE going to the dentist.
Dr. Niki and her staff are fabulous and they really take their time on my teethies. I look forward to my teeth being cleaned while I lay back and watch some high definition teevee. My last cleaning took an hour! They answered every question I had… when to rinse with hydrogen peroxide (a cheap way to whiten your teeth!) and gave me a demonstration on how to properly floss.
I love how careful and gentle they are too… I never have fluoride slopped in my face or water spritzing me by surprise. And let me tell you, I’ve had some shitty dentists (who shall remain anonymous) in my time.
