Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I began seeing Dr. Althoff when I was about 7 years old and after almost 30 years, my family and I look forward to my visits with him! My husband and two small children see him too, and we couldn't love, appreciate, or respect Dr. Althoff more. He is THE best around! I would recommend him to anyone of any age!

I changed dentists a few years back because I wasn't happy with my care. A friend recommended Dr. Althoff who'd she and her family had been seeing for many, many years. My husband and I made appointments with him and never looked back. He is the most kind and thorough dentist we've been to. He personally does all your cleaning and what ever else you need. He has a wonderful assistant who is also very kind. He listens carefully to your concerns and we are both so happy to be using Dr. Althoff.

Dr. Althoff has been our family dentist for over 27 years and he is absolutely awesome. My twins are 27 years old with one living on west coast and he had to find a new dentist...this new dentist raved about my son's teeth, saying he must have had the greatest dentist while growing up!!!!! Appointments are easy to make, he is always on time, available for emergencies, pricing is fair and honesty, and dentistry painless (as possible). Must see him!

Best team ever!! I have been going to Dr. Bill for 27 years and I can't imagine going to any other dentist. I am the biggest woose with anything medical and I am terrified of pain. He has never once hurt me and he is always conservative with his approach. I recommend EVERYONE to go see him as he is the best dentist around.

My children and I have been patients of Dr. Althoff for 12 years. Even after we moved to Skokie a few years ago, we still make the 25 minute drive to Wheeling for our dental care.

I have been a patient of Dr. 'Bill' for over 35 years. I trust him implicitly with the care of my teeth. I needed some cosmetic work done to improve my smile and he is a perfectionist. He has always made me feel at ease whenever I have regular checkups. My immediate family are also been patients of his and are extremely satisfied with his work. When looking for a professional dentist who is caring and has a common sense approach to dentistry, I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Althoff is an amazing dentist! I have been with him for over 25 years. He is professional in every way and is always reassuring and honest. I appreciate everything he has done for me to make me feel at ease during a procedure. His assistant, Thelma, is a great asset to his practice. She always greets you with a warm smile and makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend Dr. Althoff!
