Don C Kalant DDS & Michael Pink DDS MD

I was so worried about going to an oral surgeon, but this office and Dr. Pink made it so easy. The care I received was great, other than waiting for a few minutes before surgery, they took good care of me and answered all of my questions. They even helped me with insurance questions and fees so I better understood what to expect. A big thumbs up, I'm happy my dentist knows good doctors to send her patients to.

Got a referal from another dentist for an extraction. Supplied x ray to kalant &assoc. from refering dentist, they still had to take another $130.00 xray. Plus $90.00 consultation fee, for 2 minutes with Dr. Pompass Pink. After all this money spent no action taken. Mind you I have tooth ache from h**l. They make me wait 3 weeks before they can get me back in at there Joliet location, I suffered great pain & discomfort waiting the 2 weeks. The office staff is nasty, rude, & condesending. Horrible staff! ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MONEY, THEY HAVE NO EMPATHY FOR WHAT A person (human being) is going through. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are plenty of other surgeons out there do yourself a favor & go to them.

Dr. Pink is a good at what he does. Otherwise, the place is a money factory. You will be billed roughly double what you pay elsewhere. If your insurance doesn't pick up the costs (and it won't because the costs are unjustifiable), you will be billed for the balance.

I made an appointment contingent upon not having a consultation. It was a simple extraction ordered by my regular dentist and there were xrays. About a month after the appointment - SURPRISE! - I got a bill for a consultation fee. I reported them to Better Business Bureau, something I almost never do.

Kalant's office staff wins the prize for the absolute nastiest, rudest bunch of unprofessional nitwits I've ever seen. When I questioned the need for yet another xray (due to cancer risks), the technician said snottily, "It's your choice. If you don't like it, you can leave."

The intern was unable to properly take my blood pressure. The cuff valve wasn't closed, but she was too green to realize it. Rather than admitting her ignorance, she came up with a magic number, which had nothing to do with my actual blood pressure, which I take daily.

Don't expect the receptionist to let you know the doctor is running 30 minutes behind schedule. She's too busy watching "The VIew" and taking personal phone calls. You'll sit there until you grow roots before she acknowledges you.

The doctor spent five minutes pulling my tooth and his dental assistant just about kicked me out the door. Ever want to slug someone?

Save yourself the aggravation, time, frustration and humiliation. There are may fine dental offices in the area. This is NOT one of them.
