Laurie Schumacher, DDS

Waiting time is generally quick, less than 10 minutes. Office and equipment is high tech, very modern. Dental care has been top notch.

Dr. Schumacher is great. Very knowledgable and personable. Definitely a comfortable experience coming here, which isn’t very common to say about dentists.

Laurie and team are great! They made getting my cavities (eek!) as easy as it could be and tried to be fun and engaging while it was happening. My only complaint (not worth a star) is that there were a different number of cavities that they gave me versus what they originally told me after they looked at my x-​rays. Will continue to go back! Hard to get in so book fast.

Incredible technology for teeth cleaning. The staff is really nice and know their stuff. I highly recommend!!!

I’ve been a patient here for a few years now and Dr Schumacher and her staff totally rock! They are friendly and professional and explain what they are doing and why in a way that makes you feel informed, not talked down to. That is very much appreciated.
I am so glad that I found Dr Schumacher!

I paid a visit to Dr. Schumacher’s office for the first time back in December. I was looking for a new dentist, and her office was conveniently located near my office in the Loop. It had been awhile since I last visited a dentist, so I needed to go through a deep cleaning. The staff was friendly, professional, and thorough with the exam and cleaning, and made it a point to make sure I was comfortable throughout the process. If you are looking for a dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Schumacher.

5 years of dentist fear GONE
Dr Schumacher, and more importantly her support staff, have assisted me in conquering a deep rooted fear of the dentist ingrained in me from past procedures.
Communication is the most effective tool used by Dr Schumacher and her team as they are polite, understanding, and informative as they work on you.
The team at this office have performed the same exact services that had given me grief in the past, but their abilities have helped me move past my fear and actually look forward to my 6 month check ins!

Really great experience here for my first visit. Everyone was very nice and able to answer all my questions clearly! I look forward to trusting my dental care to them.

The dentist (and doctor’s) of course are not fun places to be, but oddly enough, I am looking forward to my next visit here. They were that great!
As a new patient, I filled out the paperwork beforehand which I retrieved from their website. As soon as I handed in the forms, Britni escorted me in and took care of me right away. I’m so used to waiting around even with an appointment at other places, but not here! No time wasted. Britni was awesome… super personable and professional. She took my x-​rays and then gave me my cleaning. Throughout, she would explain certain things to me and was very clear in giving certain instructions. She made me feel very comfortable. Laurie came in after and further checked my teeth. There were a couple things that they are monitoring but nothing too vital at the moment to be concerned about.
The office itself was very nice and clean. All of their equipment and tools seemed to be new and of the latest and greatest, in which there were a couple of gadgets that I had never seen before and looked super hi-​tech. There was even a TV in the room I was in that was playing Legally Blonde.
All the staff seemed very friendly. I definitely recommend coming here, especially if you are in the loop area!

Dr. S. just rocks. Professional staff, whether it’s a cleaning or something major, I’d recommend her without reservation.

I am in my 60s and I had a filling repair procedure that needed to be done. Because of my age my metabolism is slower and I generally need more anesthesia prior to any dental work. I informed Judy/​Office Mgr of my age; and the Office gave me three pain injections prior to the relevant drilling.
I did not feel anything; and I was very relaxed during the entire procedure (I did not even ask for Nitous Oxide, in this regard). Kudos!!; and thank you Dr Schumacher and Judy!
FYI: Great central Loop/​CTA location (Easy walking distance from Quincy/​La Salle Brown Line)

I have been going to Dr Schumacher since 2011, and I have always been very satisfied with the services. I have received cleanings, fillings, and crowns and all experiences have been positive. Great customer service — Dr Schumacher and her team is both highly competent and friendly. I always recommend her to my friends who are looking for a dentist.

I have been coming here for a few years and it has been great. Clean, quick and top end technology and knowledge.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Schumacher’s office for a few years now and I just had my most recent visit today, at their new location. I always always have an outstanding experience here! And this is coming from someone who used to absolutely DREAD going to the dentist. The front desk people are always so friendly and accommodating. Their new office has a stocked mini fridge as well as a Keurig machine and TV’s– which they didn’t have in their old office so that helps you focus on something else while getting your teeth cleaned.
I’ve only seen the same 2 dental hygienists, but they’ve always made my visits more enjoyable. They always inform you of what they are going to do before they do it. I’ve only been here for a cleaning, but they are fast and efficient.
This place is more hi-​tech and they don’t use flavored, tarty polish, which I cringe just thinking about. I come in every six months and am an avid coffee drinker so I always have some stains on my front teeth, but each visit the hygienists have emphasized that they will spend a little more time polishing that area to clean off the stains and it works! I always leave with my teeth feeling brand new. Dr. Schumacher is always so professional and thorough when checking my teeth.
My mom, sister and I are all patients here. I will continue coming here as long as my insurance covers it!

This was my first time at Dr. Schumacher office. I was a bit scared to try but my colleague referred, so I thought I’d give it a try. I had my cleaning and the hygienist was very knowledgeable, positive and very energetic. She did a very good job and explained everything to me. I use natural toothpaste but she told me that natural doesn’t necessarily mean good for the teeth. I was very surprised. I am coming back there next Monday because had to run to the work meeting but will definitely recommend Dr. Schumacher

Just had my cleaning here. Was referred by a colleague and it went great. Very convenient location for me, the staff was attentive and knowledgeable, and the cleaning was efficient. The hygienist who did my cleaning explained everything and was very knowledgeable about the purpose of everything being done. It kind of hurt but apparently it’s because of my gums. Got the best reason for flossing — only way to prevent gingivitis and my teeth from falling out!
One quibble — they told me not to use whitening toothpaste but then handed me a sample of whitening toothpaste.

Second appointment this morning and again was very happy. Friendly staff and prompt service– and they are particularly sensitive to any pain or discomfort. Both times my hygienists were very good with my gum sensitivities. I am very happy to find a dentist conveniently located in my work building so I don’t need to take extra time off from work for travel. Definitely will continue to go to Dr. S– even when they move to their new location across the street :)

Great staff and take good care I have been visiting here since 5 years now and never had any problem. Pretty flexible on schedule and provide good guidance.

First time coming here. I was referred by a coworker and the service was great. I had my cleaning done by Terese. She was very knowlegable, explained everything thoroughly and made sure I was comfortable with any discomfort. Staff was very friendly and efficient. Enjoyed my experiance, which isn’t always the case at the dentist.

I’ve been coming here for a little over a year now and couldn’t be happier. As I said in my first review, I have a huge fear of new dentists, but Laurie and her staff are the best. I enjoy going to the dentist now, and their lunch time appointments are awesome! I was recommended by a coworker, and have since recommended this office to another friend.
They’re just the best! I can’t express how happy I am to have a dentist that is close to work and that I’m not terrified of.
Thanks girls!
