Wagner Kurt A Dds

Excellent service all around!
Dr. Wagner’s office is amazing! I called in a couple days ago to try and change my appointment to a different day. They were able to accommodate us even though they were completely booked. The receptionist are extremely friendly and they remember my sons name and what he looks like. Dr. Wagner does a great job with his patients and is very approachable. I look forward to bringing my son and my daughter when she’s old enough every six months. Thank you for having such a great practice!

I am very concern about x-​ray on the little kids. I grew up without x-​ray. So I denied twice a year x-​ray on my boy and agreed once a year. Then this doctor became very confrontational. I could feel the receptionist became rude to me too. The more x-​ray he put on kids, the more money he earned. On the other end, the more x-​ray the kids receive the more chances of cancer they will get in the future. I also felt this doctor was overdone on my boy’s teeth. Don’t see this doctor.

The office is attractive and interesting to children. As a pediatric practice, you must offer more than just an attractive office. The assistants could use some training in child psychology, as they seemed lost as to how to handle my child who had difficulty tolerating the bite wings for x-​rays. The dentist was offended that I wanted to opt out of the fluoride treatment for my children. He became very confrontational and tried to bully me into changing my decision. Otherwise, the actual dentistry work is fine and the location is convenient.

My 3.5 year old daughter is shy, painfully shy. That is why we were worried when we took her in for her first dentist visit, and why we settled on this place after reading the other reviews.
To begin with, the location is nice and convenient. It is on the 3^rd floor of the Barnes & Noble building on the corner of Chicago and Washington. Easy to bribe the kid with a trip to the bookstore after the appointment. Then there is the waiting room. Dentist office toys? Oh no, not here. This place is pre-​schooler and little kid heaven. about ¼ of the entire waiting room is devoted to a large, kid’s only play house, filled with all sorts of things for the kids to get in there and play with. There is a large saltwater fish tank, a television playing kids shows, I think I saw a game system attached to the wall as well.
The waiting area was great, because our shy little girl was also extremely nervous, being her first time to the dentist and all. Then there was the staff. They did a great job interacting with our daughter and knew just what to say and do to make her feel comfortable. I would never have expected her to sit still and cooperate with a dental x-​ray, but with the way the staff helped her understand what was going to happen, she did fabulously. The same experience carried over to when Dr. Wagner came in to check her out.
Never once did she get upset or try to hide herself behind us, and when she was all done and Dr. Wagner was giving us the evaluation, one of the staff members took our daughter and helped her pick out a little toy for her to take home.
Overall it was an absolutely fantastic experience, and I am so glad we took her here for her first dentist experience. This is one little girl who will definitely not grow up being afraid to go to the dentist.

I took my 5 & 2 year old sons to Dr. Wagner for cleanings and it was an awesome experience. Parents stay in the waiting while the children are led to the back of the office for their appointments. I was a little apprehensive about how my 2 year old would cope with going at it without Mommy by his side, but Dr. Wagner’s staff did a wonderful job of reassuring him and making it a pleasant experience. Dr. Wagner did a great job of educating my 5 year old about the importance of taking care of his teeth. After the cleanings, Dr. Wagner came out to the waiting room and discussed how the kids teeth were doing and tips on what we could improve on. I loved the experience and will definitely continue to go to Dr. Wagner. He is very thorough and personable. His staff is wonderful and very accommodating as well.
