Dr. McWhinnie is technically excellent and will not do extra work. He recently repaired a chipped molar but chose not to replace an old restoration. That saved me money and speaks to his integrity. I have been a patient for 30 plus years am grateful to have received his services.

This review is being written by Linda Perney for my most recent visit. Dr. David McWhinnie is the quintessential family dentist. My husband and I have been patients of Dr. McWhinnie for over 40 years. Dr. Dave is a caring individual who is genuinely concerned not only the dental health of his patients but also about their general welfare. In addition to regular check-ups and preventative care, he has provided us with emergency services: a cracked tooth for my husband, and several root canals for me. Recently, working with local periodontists over a 3-month period, Dr. McWhinnie has restored one of my lower molars. His hi-tech office follows the most up to date COVID protocol. We highly recommend Dr. McWhinnie to anyone looking for a caring, skillful dentist.

I had been going to Smiles for years when my insurance was switched. No longer in network, I had to find an alternative. But when I needed an emergency checkup, Dr. Dave was quick to oblige. I am thankful he was able to help and glad I was able to have Smile's help again! Smiles should be the number one choice for anyone looking for a Dentist!

Very friendly and gentle. He kept on asking me if anything hurt but he was so gentle that I almost fell asleep during the cavity repair. Great job! Now I can go back to my donuts and coffee!

Dr. Dave and the whole staff are wonderful. I feel 100% confident that any visit I will receive the best care and up to date dentistry. They go above and beyond making sure the staff and patients are kept healthy and safe. State of the art cleaning and sanitizing of each and every room in between patients. They really care. And as I've said, Dr. Dave is a wonderful dentist. I know as I used to work in a dental office. So I recognize the quality. I'm blessed to have found them for all my dental needs Doris B

Dr. Dave is fantastic! I loved that I could request an appointment online and got a very prompt response from Karen, who is pleasant and wonderful. I came in right before vacation in pain and Dr. Dave reassured me by talking about everything he was looking for and at. He has a great laser tester for cavities and was very personable, asking me questions about my job since I work in the area.

He sealed my problem tooth and got me on my way quickly. This was one of the best dental experiences as an adult. I highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been in awhile and might be nervous. It was a very caring, calming and reasonably priced experience.

Our family won't go anywhere else. The dental care is excellent. The staff is knowledgeable, accommodating and thoughtful. I appreciate that both my daughter and I are able to schedule cleanings at the same time. Whenever I have had an emergency I receive a call back quickly, and have been able to get in the same day. Plus there is never a wait.

Really nice dental office. They have an amazing deal for first-time clients - $99 for x-rays and cleaning! The receptionist Karen is very sweet, as is the rest of the staff. Dr McWhinnie is friendly and thorough, I have zero complaints about my experience.

Best dentist (and team) around. I have extremely sensitive teeth and get very anxious about dentist appointments. I'm telling you, these guys are THE BEST. They are honest and caring. When they say they will do their best to be gentle and try to make it not hurt. they aren't lying. they really do try to make it as comfortable as possible.

They are the ONLY people I want touching my teeth, I wanted to cry when Dr. Dave said he couldn't pull my wisdom teeth! Dr McWhinnie is so gentle and I can trust him to make all the right decisions for my smile! He is so personable too which is comforting. He is a dentist that I can TRUST and he does an outstanding job. nothing beats that! Michelle is the hygienist and she is amazing as well!

She takes her time, she makes sure everything is done right and makes it as easy as possible for you. I have a really hard time taking xrays and she went out of her way to help distract me and get them done, I couldn't have done them without her! I can not recommend Smiles of Skokie enough, it is a safe and friendly environment and since my first appointment there I knew I never had to look for another dentist again.
