Patient Review 1:

Before I was referred to Dr. Deaver, I had had some HORRENDOUS dental experiences - it brings tears to my eyes to even think of it. I also have some freaky anomalous problem with my gums that makes putting the teeth to sleep a problem, so often I had it happen that a dentist would start drilling and my mouth wasn't asleep and I would scream in pain! This would enrage the dentist....... Suffice to say I was terrified of having to go out there again and have some much needed work done back in 1994.

NONE SUCH PROBLEMS WITH DR. DEAVER. As big a pain in the butt as my mouth is, he has never, ever hurt me. He is very sensitive to the patient and observant, and he stays on top of the innovations in his profession. If there is a problem, he has no problem with the seeking of a 2nd opinion - we had to do this once for me and Dr. Deaver stood in the right! It was a problem with my stinking anomalous teeth! :)

Did I mention his staff is excellent and bend over backwards for you every time? Did I mention the new offices are beautiful?

Dr. Deaver is a decently priced, excellent jewel of a dentist. You SHOULD at least try him out.

Treatment Length with Dr. Deaver: Since 1994.

Patient Review 2:

I was so afraid of the dentist that I would not go for years. In the beginning Dr Deaver would wear a "red clown nose" to relax me. I would arrive at each appointment late due to anxiety. Dr Deaver is always so patient and gentle that I leave wondering "why was I afraid to come here?"

I have changed jobs several times over the years, but I will continue to travel the distance to remain a patient of Dr Deaver's.

Treatment Length with Dr. Deaver: 15 years.

Patient Review 4:

Dr. Deaver is friendly, professional and reliable. I've never - never! - had a dentist as good as Dr. Bob. His entire team is great. I used to dread dentist appointments - not any more.

Treatment Length with Dr. Deaver: 2 years.

Patient Review 5:

I have had a number of bad experinces with dentists -- from an abusive dentist in my childhood to my last dentist, who I swear almost killed me. So I came to Dr. Deaver with fear and shame built up over a lifetime. Fear and shame on many levels. I need a bunch of stuff done -- braces, crowns, whitening,a bridge, a partial denture -- and am seeing Dr. Deaver a couple of times a week. He is very kind and non-judgmental. His injections are absolutely painless -- it really is like magic. His prices are reasonable, the office quite confortable, his staff helpful. I am especially impressed that Dr. Deaver reads and replies to all e-mail. He has personally worked with my insurance company to make sure I get the best care. And best of all, I no longer spend sleepless nights (yes, plural) before a dentist appointment.

Dr. Deaver's assistant, Linn, is phenominal. She and Dr. Deaver work very well together, and their teamwork results in great care for their patients.

If you need a great team, you really have to look no further.

Treatment Length with Dr. Deaver: 2 months.

Patient Review 6:

Dr. Deaver is by far the best dentist I have ever had. When concerning your teeth it is extremely stressful to find someone you trust and are confident in their work. Dr. Deaver has offered me great dental work, affordable prices, insurance coverage, and a down to earth caring dental experience. His receptionist Cathy is wonderful also, which makes the whole dental experience more pleasant.

I make it a point to recommend him to my friends and colleagues. You would be doing your teeth and yourself a favor if you chose to see him.

Treatment Length with Dr. Deaver: 2 years.

Patient Review 7:

I have been seeing Dr. Deaver since I was a little kid. He really goes above and beyond to make sure that I am comfortable. For me going to the dentist is not particularly fun but Dr. Deaver and his staff do a tremendous job to make me feel at ease every time I have to go.

Treatment Length with Dr. Deaver: 28 years.

Patient Review 8:

I was 59 years old when I became Dr. Deaver's patient. I had a terrible fear of going to the dentist. I had not even had my teeth cleaned in many years. My teeth were loose and I had bleeding gums. I decided that I wanted all of my teeth removed so that I would never have to go to a dentist again. My front teeth were starting to hang over my bottom lip. I had lost my smile. I would put my hand over my mouth when I laughed. I wanted my smile back for my 60th. birthday. Dr. Deaver took me on as a patient. and convinced me that he could fix my teeth without removing all of them. He helped me get over my fear . He was very patient, kind and understanding. He explained everything. as we went along. Today I have a beautiful smile. I go and have my teeth cleaned every six months. I recomend Dr. Deaver to anyone that has a terriable fear of going to the dentist. Just go in and talk to him. You will be taking the first step toward good dental health.

Patient Review 9:

After moving from Kansas City ten years ago, I bounced around from one dentist to another looking for one who made me feel comfortable with their abilities, manner, and staff, without much success. I was introduced to Doctor Bob several years ago and we became personal friends, but I kept my old dentist. After a very unsatisfactory experience with that dentist, I asked Doctor Bob if he would take me on as his patient. I found him to be as great a dentist as he is a friend.

His ability to remember details about all of his patients as well as his calming approach makes him a unique practitioner. Some of my dental work lately has been pretty complex, but Doctor Bob has made it surprisingly smooth and painless. Our friendship aside, I would recommend Doctor Bob to anyone for his professionalism and his attention to his patients. He truly cares about the people he serves. He is one of a kind!

Treatment Length with Dr. Deaver: 10 years.

Patient Review 13:

Dr. Deaver is my newest reason why I love living in Chicago. Now that I found an ethical dentist who is extremely pleasant, I cannot move from this city. I have visited past dentists who have prescribed extensive work that I did not need. Dr. Deaver was extremely thorough and informed me of exactly what I needed (just regular check ups in my case -- versus thousands of dollars of work)

As a side benefit, Dr. Deaver's office offers in office insurance for those without dental insurance. That is extremely helpful for me considering I am self employed and would otherwise pay for a dentist out of pocket. Bottom line, stop putting off going to the dentist and visit Dr. Deaver!
