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.

He is one of the nicest doctors I have had the pleasure to meet. Always has a smile and never rushes you.

Today’s oral surgery went like clockwork. Dr. Beste entered with a smile immediately inviting me to ask questions. He and his staff put me at ease from the start. I requested double Novocain and literally felt no pain-just some tugging during extraction. When it was over, I couldn’t believe it was such a smooth procedure. No stitches needed, directions provided, and out I went! Dare I say it was close to a pleasant experience? Dr. Beste’s assistant was equally kind and helpful. I’m very satisfied.

My son had a bad experience with a dentist as a child and as a result has a fear of Dentists as an adult. He went to Dr Beste for a tooth extraction because the tooth cracked into the gum. He opted to be put to sleep. He was in and out in 1 hour. He trusted Dr Beste. He is the best!! I would recommend him to anybody in need of oral surgery!! A great Oral surgeon with great bedside manners. Made my adult son feel very comfortable in his care. His staff was also wonderful, friendly and caring. Thank you Dr Beste!!

Dr. Beste did a great job with my wisdom teeth extraction. He has excellent bedside manner, explained everything well, calmed me down before the procedure, and told me what to expect post-op. His team followed up with me by phone, told me how to manage my symptoms, and scheduled a follow-up appointment with him. There were no complications. Everything healed well. Great surgeon.

Undermedicated. Who gives 15 325 mg vicodin poat 21 tooth extraction? At 2 every 4-6 hours, that makes them gone within a day and a half. I assure you, the pain lasted longer than that. I think he took a closer look at my mouth, noted how bad my teeth really were, said, "Stupid eating disordered person. She brought it on herself." Then, post surgery, when I didn't have the sense God gave a goose, they handed me this scrip and shoved me out the door. And they lied about how cost

Dr. Beste is absolutely the Best oral surgeon in the south suburbs. I have had disasters of dentistry and he has on 3 different occasions treated me with the upmost care and compassion. He is OUTSTANDING!!

Horrible. Do not go there. Needs updating bad. A/C not working properly either. X-ray tech wanted to do panorex without lead thyroid protection. Went there for tooth extraction needing prophylactic antibiotics. I had already seen a dentist and endodontist who referred me to an oral surgeon. He disregarded that and told me to do "yawning"exercises." I would never go there based on the dirtiness of this place, the professionalism that was completely lacking, and the demeanor of this guy.
