Shawn T Post, DDS

I have been going to Dr. Post for about 20 years, ever since my previous long time dentist retired. Dr Post and his staff (especially hygienist Kim and receptionist Michelle) are friendly, professional, on time and just wonderful.

I felt compelled to write this review as a colleague of Dr. Post. He recently treated my wife and kids. His mastery of restorative treatment for both my wife and daughter was unsurpassed, and his patience in working with my «challenging» son was incredible. He also works with a renowned ceramic laboratory, so that his crowns replicate the appearance and function of natural teeth, which is a must in our «cosmetically focused» world. Having known Shawn for over 30 years, I highly recommend his practice as one that is wonderful in both the quality and «pleasantness» that patients should appreciate!

This makes my fourth year as a patient of Dr. Post and I can say that he continues to be a fantastic dentist. I have a new hygienist now, Kim, who is really great. She uses both hands when she cleans and polishes your teeth, using the suction tool to whisk away the debris and polish so you don’t have too much to rinse out.
Dr. Post is attentive, gentle, and warm-​hearted. I feel really fortunate to have been referred to his office.

I am probably the worst patient ever. I Complain about everything! I don’t like the sounds or the tools — ugh I hate it all.
Dr. Post and his daughter are so friendly and nice.
They don’t have a super fancy high tech office — but they clearly care a great deal about quality of care. For all that they did — I was pleasantly surprised by the low bill.
Definitely would recommend!

Highly recommend and very friendly staff. Just moved from out of state read the Unilocal reviews and tried him out. Thank you Unilocal community and Post DDS fans. 100% satisfied.

Dr. Post has been my dentist for about 15 years, and I am 100% happy with his services (as is my wife). He is an extremely nice guy who also is a very capable dentist. I recently had a specialist tell me that his office sees a lot of work from a lot of dentists, and that Dr. Post’s work is top-​notch.

Dr. Post and his team are the best! I moved to Chicago and didnt have a dentist last year. It was the first Friday of snow and I had a tooth ache and concern of going the entire weekend. I did a quick internet search, called their office, and Dr Post agreed to see me on the spot! I am forever grateful and have been going ever since. Michelle at the desk is always helpful and Kim is amazing! Can’t say enough good things about their team. :)

I highly recommend Dr. Post.
He is fabulous! Hands down he is the best dentist ever!
I am a patient of his and moved to California and STILL come back to see Dr. Post for all my dental needs.
He is painless and thorough and fixed my TMJ problem with a night guard! My teeth no longer ache.
His office is neat and clean. His staff is professional, friendly and very nice.
I used to be so afraid of «the dentist» because I had such bad dentistry as a kid and now I am comfortable and know I can get my teeth cleaned without pain and anxiety. He has also redone my old ugly crowns and they actually look natural.

Amazing dentist! Dr. Post is friendly, thorough, and happy to answer questions. His hygienist, Kim, was also wonderful. My teeth feel so good after her scaling! I’m so happy I found Post Family Dental!

I’ve been going there for over ten years. They are very professional, ethical, friendly, on time, and there when you need them for emergencies.

AMAZING! I went to Dr. Post for the first time couple weeks ago and he was by far the best dentist I have been to. His staff was great as well — every one was very personable and cheerful, made me feel totally comfortable– as comfortable as you can while people are sticking their hands in your mouth :) I am usually very sentitive at the dentist, and the hygentist could tell right away, her and dr. post were both as gentle as they could be — unlike other dentists i have been to who don’t really care they just need to get the cleaning done even if they are totally hurting you! Dr. Post was also the first dentist who told me I grind my teeth at night and was able to tell right away, and recommended a night guard. Who knows how long I could have continued at my other dentist before he told me that!
A++++++ for Dr. Post! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a dentist. I usually dread going to the dentist and I think I will dread it a little less next time now! :)

Dr Post went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied when I went in for a follow up. Doubt he read my review, but he really tried to help me out and it was appreciated.
I’ve changed my review because they did a lot to make me happy.

Wow! I just got back from my first dental visit with Dr. Post and I’m very pleased. I had a fantastic dentist in NYC that I absolutely loved, so I was worried about finding someone comparable when I moved to Chicago. Dr. Post is warm, friendly, and personable. Not to mention he’s about a 60-​second walk from my office. I am thrilled to have found such a great dentist!

Dr Post and Kim, the hygientist, are awesome. Both are incredibly nice, give good explanations of what they are doing, and are gentle. I’ve been going to them for 6+ years, after a few visits to shady dentists left me traumatizes. I’ve sent several of my family members and coworkers to them, too, and everyone agrees that they are the best ever!

I have been going to Dr. Post for 11 years, through three jobs and Jebus knows how many dental plans. And I think I’ve sent at least seven friends and co-​workers to him in that time and they all love him as well.
Three things to know.
First, he is incredibly kind and gentle. Second, he is realistic about what you will and won’t do regarding your dental hygiene habits (e.g., he has figured out I just won’t floss) and does not lecture needlessly once he knows you know. And third, he never engages in the endless upselling of services that so many other dentists seem to do these days.
Finally, I love the fact he has 8:00 a.m. appointments and is located on Michigan Ave. That means I can actually have a morning dental appointment and still be on time for work.

Great dentist and staff located in the loop. Has to be the best dentist in the city — I’ve also reccommended several friends and coworkers; they’ve all been pleased. You can tell Dr. Post really cares about his patients.
He’s got a great bedside manner, gives good advice (e.g., won’t tell you you have to have the expensive work done), convienent hours and location.

Best Dentist ever. I’ve referred him to several of my coworkers
