Forest Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry

We had such a great experience! My 3 yo was sooo nervous on the way in, but was all smiles walking out! On the way home, he even said how he thought it was going to be scary but ended up being "easy and fun"! The staff is so welcoming, patient, and caring. Everyone went out of their way to make my little guy comfortable with the exam. The office is very nice, clean and well equipped. All the cool decor and gadgets/toys/snacks are a great touch!

My 3 year old loved it, they were so patient with her and she actually sat through the whole cleaning. Plus that they spoke Spanish to her and made her feel comfortable.

My kids have been patients of the Lake Forest office for a couple years now. We were in the market for a dentist & we have many friends whose children are also patients. Our first visit was a little rocky as my 4 year old did not have the best experience (kicking & screaming the ENTIRE VISIT due to his fear of doctor's offices), despite the best efforts of the staff (ARVIE!). My 2 year old on the other had, had a PLEASANT experience & said he has a couldn't wait to come back. I felt AWFUL after that visit, but everyone was so kind & understanding about it. Every visit since then has been SO pleasant & the kids feel VERY comfortable seeing all the doctors. It is apparent that both Dr. Bocks keep their standards high for their offices. A few things I love about FOPD: - CLEANLINESS is a top priority - The staff is professional, knowledgable & are very accommodating - The doctors are very thorough; we don’t mind seeing whoever is available - The design & layout of the office was thoughtfully planned & executed well; kid friendly with an overall modern & clean aesthetic - The atmosphere is warm & inviting for kids; tablets & tvs for distraction - Reward of the claw machine or treasure box after visit - Involved with the community - They have an ice cream truck! - Refreshment area - Their social media presence - We especially love our dental hygienist, Arvie, who has really made our visits enjoyable & easy peasy for the ME & kids :) - MOST IMPORTANT: That my kids find going to the dentist as a POSITIVE experience & don’t mind the visit I can’t say anything but the best about the Forest Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry!

First off the office is so warm and welcoming! My daughter instantly was comfortable for her first visit to the dentist. It does not feel like a cold, scary dental office. Everyone is so friendly and helped her stay calm. She does not let us look at her teeth but was an amazing patient and let them look at everything. She was reassured by how they showed her the tools they were going to use and what it would feel like. She left a happy camper with her treasure box slinky! I’m so thankful for my friend recommending Forest pediatric dental! They also work with my insurance seamlessly.

Really liked this location the first time. But today, not so much. While staff is nice EXEMPT the tech with the black hoop nose ring and the 'Ace of spades' tattoo on the left wrist. Her name is Bri. Next time you want to say "WATCH YOURSELF" YOU BETTER KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!!! I don't care if it was to another dental tech or not. When you are coming up on the backside of someone saying that, you may not like the reaction you get. And then thought it was funny. Front desk staff seems to be more concerned about getting kids the flavor Popsicles they want rather than checking patients in and out.
