When I went in to have my first cleaning I was suprised to find that the dentist (not an assistant) would actually be performing most of the cleaning. Dr. Julie Glud and her assistant provided excellent care, taking time to explain everything. Though the office is fancy and the location is in the heart of Lincoln Park, the staff at Dental Salon are not pretentious. At our initial meeting, Dr. Glud took time to explain my X-Rays and necessary treatment. The office staff helped me to sort out how soon and what my insurance would cover and created a treatment plan. Other points to consider: I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting room or in the exam room, the exam chairs are super comfortable (if I weren't at the dentist I might just fall asleep in it) and there is always fresh water available. The Dental Salon is still a trip to the dentist, but I have found the staff to be caring and compentent in all areas of my visits.
