Kenneth Milin, DDS & Associates

Dr. Milin is a fantastic dentist. His staff is terrific too. He is kind and gentle and an amazing technician. It is remarkable that I can love a dentist! I am afraid of going to the dentist and hate going to the dentist. I was hurt and traumatized by a previous dentist who also did poor work. Dr. Milin was recommended to us by my children’s orthodontist (he goes to him). At the first visit, he said «I will never hurt you.» He has been true to his word. He has had to do some extensive work too — the work was perfect and he is always gentle. My mother went to him after a terrible fall and he was able to correct the residual problems she was having. Dentistry is an art and Dr. Milin is an artist.

I’ve been going to Dr. Milin for my entire life, and there really is no better dentist out there. When I moved away from Chicago and went to a new dentist for the first time, that doctor immediately filled one cavity (two teeth) and left me with an aching, sensitive jaw for over a month. When I thankfully returned to Dr. Milin, he not only fixed that filling, but also offered me a variety of preventative fluoride treatments so I wouldn’t have to fill any more cavities in the future. Compared to many dentists whose bread and butter is cavity filling, this was so refreshing and just goes to show how deeply Dr. Milin cares for his patients.
Aside from fillings, Dr. Milin also gave me an impeccable bridge to mask my missing tooth, which has lasted without fault for over 4 years. I have the highest confidence in Dr. Milin for any dental procedure.
As long as my family has known him, he has always had the warmest demeanor, and everyone in his office has the utmost professionalism towards dentistry. The office is clean and friendly. To put it bluntly, I would rather fly home than go to a dentist other than Dr. Milin. He is a fabulous dentist for every single member of your family. Don’t trust your teeth with anyone else!

I have been going to Dr. Milin for over 25 years and found him to be the most honest and caring dentist.
His staff is very punctual and professional
they all take great pride in everything they do

I visited Dr. Milin once a few years ago, based on a referral. I am just writing the review now because a few specialists have recently recommended him to me.
First, I will start off with the good. I liked his hygienist who cleaned my teeth — I think she did an excellent job. And Dr. Milin had a pleasant personality. And they were able to get me an appointment very quickly. And the office was very clean.
Here is where it goes downhill.
When I contacted the front office person, she quoted me a price ($ 200 something)
and when I got to my appointment they confirmed the price. However, after my visit, the front office person handed me a bill for about $ 100 more ($ 300 something).
I should point out that there was no confusion over insurance.
So much for building trust.
The other disturbing thing was when Dr. Milin was examining my two bad teeth and discussing the implant procedure (which I definitely needed) I asked Dr. Milin how much he charges for implants. His very unusual response to me was «Don’t worry about it». I have no idea what that means. The procedure typically runs around $ 2,000 to $ 3,000 per tooth, so I don’t think he meant it was on the house when he said «Don’t worry about it».
I’m not willing to give my dentist a blank check for his services and as his initial visit fee magically changed from about $ 200 to about $ 300 in one hour I did not go back to him for implants.
Finally, I should point out that when I wrote to Dr. Milin about my displeasure with the higher fee for the visit he refunded the difference, so he gets two stars instead of one.

My family of 4 has been going to Dr Kenneth Milin since 1980.
He is absolutely the best.
First of all, he is the consummate technician; my recent implant is a work of art,.
(In fact my family has over many years experienced only state of the art in all of his procedures).
Case in point: Last Fall I went thru a very painful tooth extraction (hence the implant) .
Once Dr. Milin got involved I was steered to the best team possible to get the tooth out, the surgery done to prepare for the implant (Oral surgeon Dr. David Barack in Skokie is great) and the final step, the tooth itself.
Combined with his technical skills is his delightful chair side manner. He is totally focused on the patient .and is available ²⁴⁄₇ if you need him, as I did. He loves what does and it is clearly both his calling and his passion,

I have been seeing Dr. Milin for 25 years. I had a lot of work done in my mouth and he saved my teeth. Aesthetically and medically ha has done a wonderful job. He and his staff are kind and very professionally. I trust him completely and I will do anything he suggests.
I live in Italy 6 months a year and I make sure when i come back to see Dr. Milin and Barb, the hygienist to check and clean my teeth.
I would recommend Dr. Milin and Barb to anyone who wants to take care of his/​her mouth

I LOVE Dr. Milin. My family has gone to see him for years and he always does a great job. Late last year, he did porcelains on my two front teeth (a challenge since one tooth was broken as a child and we were trying to preserve its root). He did a fabulous job and my new smile is amazing! Just look at my picture!
His whole team is professional, prompt and caring. I live in the city and happily drive to Winnetka to see him because you don’t want to trust your teeth with just anybody!

A friend recommended Dr. Milin & Associates because the dentists put every effort into making patients comfortable. My friend and I both suffer from jaw problems and going to the dentist is painful, even for a regular cleaning.
I tried Dr. Maggio and was incredibly impressed by her chairside manner and her excellent dental skills. I’ve been to dentists who were lacking in the skills department and tried to cover it up with paraffin wax hand treatments and massage chairs. Dr. Maggio is not one of those dentists. She goes out of her way to make me comfortable because she cares, not because she’s trying to hide something. I’ve had some significant work done and the quality has been top notch.
She has proactively called me after an appointment to check-​in, personally returned my phone calls and truly listened to my questions and concerns. She always remembers that I am allergic to latex and that I have incredibly sensitive teeth (yes, I am a challenging patient). So she ensures that she and the hygienist wear latex free gloves and heat the water before spraying it in my mouth. She even remembers previous discussions about life and asks how things are going.
I live in the loop and take the Metra to Winnetka to see Dr. Maggio. I’m willing to go out of my way because she is a rare gem of a dentist.
