Bottom line is that Dr. Landers is a phenomenal practitioner who has assembled a highly trained professional team. Together they are able to perform tasks that would usually involve the patient visiting numerous different doctors and offices. And even after having successful practice and more patients that he can handle, Dr. Landers goes back to school to learn new techniques and skills to be able to accommodate even the most vain and demanding patients as myself. Any good and self-respecting doctor would be in tune with the growth and innovation of his field, but any doctor who strives to be ahead of the curve and has perfected a skill before others have begun studying it, I can call MY doctor. Dr. Landers is MY doctor.

(and no, I have not received any discounts for this review)

Doctor Landers was the first of four dentists I've visited who did not try to up-sell anything.

I made a decision to proceed with more improvements on my smile only after realizing how precise and professional his work was. All in all, I got 6 veneers and 3 crowns. To make gums more symmetric, doctor Landers also performed a very complicated gum grafting procedure and gum contouring. I showed the result to another dentist and she said doctor Landers's job was impeccable.

Compared to those of other dentists', doctor Landers's prices are very competitive. I can't even count how many times I've visited his office, as he initiated multiple check-ups and minor improvements at no additional cost. At each point I received excellent service.

In addition, doctor Landers has a great sense of humor, is very educated and a great conversationalist. You will not find a better specialist in Chicago,unless you are willing to travel to LA and pay tons of money (often with no guarantees).

About Hygienist: Hygienist Tam Patel was very gentle and thorough, and she made my teeth perfectly clean. On the top of it she is a very nice person too.

Being under the care of Dr. Landers is definitely a partnership - he very much cares for his patients and does his very best to educate you and allow you to make the best and most economical decisions for your dental care. He takes his time to make sure everything is correct and is very much a perfectionist - he listens to his patients, asks them how they are feeling and gives them the information they need to have the best follow-up and preventative care. The office is very educated about insurance coverage and makes sure you know the cost of the procedures and care in preparation for each office visit.

I have always wanted to straighten my smile but was hesitant because other dentists have told me my options were either a mouthful of veneers or braces. Dr. Landers advised that not all smile makeovers required such extensive treatment and recommended instant orthodontics on two teeth. I am so impressed at how he was able to envision, and then dramatically transform my smile by using such a conservative approach. I love my new smile! My family, friends and colleagues are amazed by, and so complimentary of his work. He is truly one of the best cosmetic dentists in the country and is the only dentist I will trust my smile to.

I called Dr. Landers when I was in severe pain. His office staff gave me an appt right away!! Jill is an incredible asset to that office! My first visit they did complete x-rays, cleaning and exam. Dr. Landers went out of his way to explain the type of pain I was experiencing and the services (from root canal to fillings, etc) I might need. Turns out, my previous dentist completely botched my crown and created tons of dental problems for me to now correct.

All of this would be enough to recommend him. But, little did I know I was going to accept a job in CA right as Dr. Landers was starting my care. I was moving in three weeks! This did not phase anyone in the office. They pushed up my treatment schedule to resolve the most pressing problems (that pesky bad crown resulting in a root canal and two new crowns) and have my pain resolved before sending me off to my new life. Dr. Landers' exact words, "I want to make certain your pain is gone and this is done correctly." How do you not love that?!?

The general consensus was that I n
