John E Boland, MSD

As a PCP I refer my patients, family and friends to Dr Boland senior and junior.
Their serviceis professional and caring.

Both our girls have been coming to this practice since they were 6 months old. They are now 13 and 15. We go every six months like clockwork. If there is an issue we get on their books pronto. Life gets busy but we have rarely missed an apt. They are wonderful about making adjustments, working with what ever is troubling us, keeping things private, working with the girls over the stages of life with regards to brushing and oral management. Dr. Boland has a Scientific background must more powerful for us when we were interviewing DDS for our girls. We wanted someone who really knew fully what the heck they were doing. GO! We have referred them many happy clients over the years and now we are referring you!

Dr Boland III is the only dentist I trust… Dont believe the negative reviews.
I’ve been going to him for the past 5 years and every time I come, he is polite and we chat about life, he’s great. He is an excellent dentist and has done some breakthrough services for me. Elizabeth on the front desk is just as warm and friendly and is very flexible regarding rates and payment. The two assistants are very very good at what they do and the whole atmosphere is very pleasant. I am one of those people who dread going to the dentists… that is before I discovered Dr Boland. Thank you to my doctor who recommended Dr Boland in the first place. The rates are competetive and you get everything that you ask for, if not more. I highly recommend Dr Boland, I get compliments on my teeth and smile consistently.

I have been going to the Dr. Bolands since I was two. I get compliments on my teeth and smile all the time and I know it is large part due to their guidance. Dr. Boland instilled in me a great fondness for oral hygiene. Could the prize bucket bribing be part of that? Who cares? I always loved going to the dentist and I doubt many kids walk away with that experience from their dentist. He made my one dental emergency a non-​scary event when he seamlessly fixed the permanent front tooth that I cracked in half at 8. At 16, I was handed over to his son, who has been my dentist ever since. I’ve been impressed that they manage scheduling, so that as an adult I don’t feel odd going to an office that doubles as a pediatric dental practice. I’d heartily recommend the elder Dr. Boland as a fantastic pediatric dentist and his son as an excellent adult dentist.

Dr. Boland has been seeing my tow children since they started brushing their teeth. He has always been professional, caring, compassionate, and our appointments are allows on time. Our experience in the office, which is state of the art, has always been a good one. You would be doing your children a great favor to take then to Dr. Boland, a real value in dentistry.

I can’t believe the negative reviews either.
We moved from Marin County to Chicago two years ago but still come to Dr. Boland! My son is a «difficult» patient in that he is really hesitant to open his mouth and Dr. Boland and his incredible staff go the extra mile to make him feel secure.
The front staff are great at working with our scheduling limitations. I usually do not call them until right before we get to town and they always find a way to work with me.
Dr. Boland is really kind and gentle and makes my son feel totally safe. They have TV’s on the ceiling to help the kids forget where they are and one of the prettiest views in the area from the large picture windows. He explains to me and my son (age 5) why it is important to brush, offers tips on flossing and talks about preventive care in a easy to understand manner.
Our Pediatrician recommended him and I have been extremely happy.
I would not hesitate to recommend. On our last visit we saw the other Dr. Boland in the office (not usually the pediatric Doctor) and he too was great. The front staff managed to work us in with him because we were in town during a time when our Dr. Boland was on vacation. We were impressed that they were willing to accommodate us and found this Doctor to also be very understanding to a young (nervous) patient.

Wow, I couldn’t believe the negatives written here. I have two sons who have had a very positive first experience of dentistry with Dr. Boland. It is true that he is a little patronizing with the parents, but I have found him to be very knowledgable and experienced. And, on the other hand, he is EXTREMELY complimentary and gentle to his little patients. Both of my sons have had more than just cleanings and have left quite happy. He is tolerant of parents sitting with their children, and he has given many helpful hints for cavity fighting. So far, I am very happy with his services.

I gave him four chances because he was so highly recommend by my pediatrician, whom I love, and others. But he is so consistently rude and patronizing to me that I will never go back. He hasn’t been rude to my daughter, but he hasn’t been warm and trust-​inspiring either. When I left yesterday, I told them that I won’t go back, and why. Don’t go.

Came highly recommended BUT had a terrible experience with my 6 year old daughter who broke her 2 front adult teeth in a scooter accident the night before 1^st day of school. He did not return an emergency call for over 12 hours. We went in today and he said he was too busy to do the procedure. We asked if there was anyway to work her in and he agreed to see her at 3:30. Once there he showed no compassion, started immediately with no explanation or comforting to my daughter which freaked her out a little. He immediately said «I’m not doing this today, she will have to wait until Monday and got up». I said let me talk to her — she was not crying or hysterical. She said «I got water shot up my nose!». His response was «You can talk to her all you want but I’m not „working“ on her until Monday» and walked out. My daughter was saying «Why can’t I get my teeth fixed?». Totally inappropriate behavior, how can any man much less a pediatric dentist do such a thing. BE AWARE OF THIS MAN!!! This was a traumatizing experience for the whole family in a time which we needed someone. There are better dentists out there than this man!

Nice guy… but his wife is at the front desk. She may seem nice at first but watch out! She can lash out at the first missed appt. Also, my daughter evidently needed orthodontist work and no word was mentioned until I brought it up. Isn’t the dentist supposed to do that? Hmmm, makes ya wonder.
