I've been going to Dr. Block for close to 20 years. She is friendly, personable and most important a very good dentist. I don't mind signing my name to this review. Alan Wolfgang - Hinsdale, IL more

Nancy has been our family's dentist [my kids' and my wife's] for more than 20 years and she is the best dentist I have ever had. she is always professional, thorough, and friendly, and I would strongly recommend her. Mary R.'s review [which has cropped up on a couple of these review sites] is toatlly off-base and unfair and she could not possibly have first hand-knowledge of the things she asserts. [The comments about HMO patients and gay patients are obviously specious--what, Mary R. has staked out the office and watched how HMO and gay patients are treated?] and seem quite calculated to defame a top-notch professional. BTW: Mary R's review is entered twice, skewing the results. Why go to the trouble of entering a review two times other than to dishosestly throw off the results? more

I completely disagree w/ Mary R's. review. I've been going to Dr. Block for over 10 years and she is very professional, has kept her staff for a very long time and has a great personality! Regarding HMO patients, not true...I've never waited more than 10 minutes to see her. Also, she does the teeth cleaning herself and does not have one of her hygienists perform that task. Most dentists do not do that simply because they can more more $$$ doing something else. I've referred her to many of my friends and colleagues and they really like her! more

Dr. Nancy Block (100 E. Walton) is very unethical in her profession. She does not care about the quality of care that her patients should be receiving. Most of the instruments that she uses are broken and she has no shame when she mentions it to patients. Her equipment is absolutely outdated! She thinks it is funny. Her rooms are falling apart. You would never expect this, since her office is next to Michigan Avenue! She has three rooms and has a patient in each every hour. She races from one room to the next, not carefully treating each patient. If you are an HMO patient, expect to wait 45 minutes to an hour in the waiting room. She makes the least amount of money from HMO patients, so she does not care how long she makes them wait or if they leave. If you are a gay patient, expect to have the entire room wrapped especially for you. She will see you quickly as she fears gay patients are "diseased". Yes, she appears charismatic and caring but the poor dental work she provides and the deplorable conditions in which she keeps the rooms for her patients, speak volumes of her as an unethical dentist. more
