Dr. Alfe and her team at Chicago Smile Spa are incredible! Timely (I have NEVER had to wait), professional and exceptionally knowledgeable about all the procedures they perform as well as the ones they don't. They sent me to the best Endodontist, Dr. Gabriel Sim, for a root canal that I kept falling asleep during, with no swelling afterwards, as well as an equally incredible Periodontist, Dr, Peter Cabrera. Since Dr. Alfe spends much of her free-time teaching the latest state of the art procedures to other dentists and further educating herself on the latest products, materials, techniques and tools available she is really at the forefront of her field. I only regret that my husband had to have veneers put on his teeth because they were chipping from excessive grinding before we met her. Her veneers can be as thin as a CONTACT LENS! I also wish desperately that she would take children because I am so pleased with several corrective procedures I've had to have done that I am in comparison only comfortable with her in retrospect. I see a dentist every year, but had yet to find the right one since we moved to Chicago 5 years ago; in that time I was not ONCE told about my increased gum recession, or a necessary root canal (although I had complained of pain to my other Dentist on several occasions), OR of an abcess that had formed in the neighboring tooth. All I can say is my teeth look a lot better now than they ever have: whiter, cleaner, straighter and most importantly healthier. Additionally, Rima and Holly are fantastic assistants who do everything they can to help you and make you as comfortable as possible, including running out and putting more quarters in your meter if needed! They also work seamlessly with Dr. Alfie and do a great job cleaning your teeth. Rima handles all billing and submits your insurance for you, making your visits easy and hassle free. Finally, the office is absolutely state of the art, clean, comfortable and cheerful! They make me hope I'll never have to move again- I am so completely pleased with them!!! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. I think they are the single best recommendation I can give to anyone. I am definitely sending any friends that need a new dentist to her and the rest of my family as well.
