Paul Ilan, DDS

The receptionist is very very rude. I called to reschedule an appointment and I wanted to know how much my procedure was going to cost because I wanted to make sure I gathered the money for my appointment day. She said «I don’t know I would have to look at your file.» She said it with an attitude and then said «Okay you’re scheduled bye.» I asked her to look at my file because I wanted to know the price. She said no and then said «okay you’re scheduled goodbye.» I called back and cancelled my appointment. I am never going back there and I will tell everyone I know not to go there!!! It doesn’t cost anything to be nice to people and to actually do your job!!!

Great Dentist! Had an exposed nerve from a filling that fell out (Yes! I know! What can i say!) — had a minimal wait time — Dr. Ilan was quick and courteous — It was a pain free visit which in my book is worth 5 stars alone! Initial shots were painless as well as the actual work — next visit will be for my root canal and Im sure that will go as easy as this has!

This is really one of the strangest experiences I’ve ever had with a health care provider.
I went to Dr. Paul Ilan’s dental practice as I nede to have a root canal performed and then I also wanted to do some cosmetic work. I understood that the cosmetic work would not be covered by my insurance and that I would have to pay out-​of-​pocket.
The dentist insisted on cleaning my teeth. The cleaning was the quickest I have ever had and was really just a surface cleaning. It was unlike any cleaning I have had in 50 years of visiting dentists offices. WHAT A VERY POOR JOB HE DID!
After the consultation, I was told by the receptionist that she would call me after contacting my insurance company in order to set up an appointment for the root canal.
I never heard back from her. I telephoned on two more occasions but each time reached only the answering machine and left messages.
I never heard back from them. At first I thought that they had gone out of business but later discovered that they were still in business in the same office.
To this day, I have not received a return call. Obviously, I decided to go elsewhere and had the work done.
Had I read these reviews before making the appointment with Dr. Paul Ilan, I would have saved much time and grief.
Again, this is one of the strangest experiences I’ve ever had with a health care provider.

i have been a patient of dr. paul for almost 3 years. he is the best. highly recommended. very pleasant!

I had a similar experience with a BS insurance plan that sent me to this underachiever. I required a root canal, which was done quickly and quite painfully. Then, obviously, I needed a false tooth to cover the damage. The first tooth that I received fell out within two weeks! The second stayed in after some serious cementing, but it has since cracked in two places!!! All this was less than 1 year ago. I mean, c’mon!

I’m sorry, but I just have to warn people about this guy. I had a really crappy DMO plan which my coworkers warned me about, but being strapped and not having any recommendations to go on, I took my chances on the provider in network who was nearest to me. HUGE mistake. The guy literally spent 10 minutes cleaning my teeth. He scraped around like he’d just gotten out of dental school (which appeared to be the case, not to discriminate based on age or anything, because even young people can DO THEIR JOB). After butchering up my mouth, he put some toothpaste on my front teeth, had me rinse, & got up to leave. Now I’ve been getting cleanings regularly ever since I’ve had teeth; I knew this was not kosher. I asked him if he was going to continue cleaning the rest of my teeth. He said there was no reason to, because he didn’t see stains on them. Since when is this the criteria for routine cleaning? And doesn’t this defy logic? Why would stains only exist on your front teeth — doesn’t food/​drink/​saliva get on all your teeth at once? He then started to tell me that doing every tooth «is not a real cleaning.» Dude was trying to lecture me about what a real cleaning is, and apparently, being thorough does not qualify! At that point I quickly decided I did not WANT him going back into my mouth, based on his lack of interest/​honesty/​expertise, so I left. I should’ve told my insurance company not to bother paying him, as he did not provide the stated service, but I never got around to it. I ended up dropping the DMO and enrolling in the more expensive insurance plan through my job. At least now I can go back to my regular dentist and get a proper cleaning. STAY AWAY!
