Uptown Dentistry

This was my first time to Uptown Dentistry and I was very impressed with both the office as well as the level of care and professionalism exhibited by the staff. My wife and daughters had already been to the office numerous times and raved about Dr. Jeff. My dentist was Dr. Marta and she was fantastic. She asked about my daughters, provided me a thorough exam and cleaning, and thoughtfully advised me on my dental concerns and options. Sasha, the hygienist, was equally thoughtful and professional. My family and I have lived throughout the US and world and have encountered varying levels of dental care. Uptown Dentistry definitely tops the list and provides world class dental care in Park Ridge, IL

Dentist appointments used to be dreaded; I actually used to bribe my girls! We even tried a pediatric dentist who everyone in Park Ridge recommended, only to be dismayed with surprise bills and loads of unnecessary services. And then we found UPTOWN. Easily, this is the most professional, most current, and most honest dentistry we’ve ever experienced. It was simple to make an appointment, the friendly front desk staff was sweet and smart, and it got even better with the actual exam! So much technology, and each dentist is overflowing with cutting-​edge practices and integrity. My husband was so impressed that his dentist performed his entire exam — usually, it’s the dental techs, right? — and it was beyond thorough. My favorite part is when Dr. Jeff tells me EXACTLY how much a service will be, plus EXACTLY if we need it; zero hidden costs or unnecessary procedures! Crazy refreshing. (Bonus: Our teeth are epic white.)

Everyone in my family has been a patient at Uptown Dentistry for about 3 years… Including my 4 year old. Dr. Jeff creates an inviting, relaxed environment, even for the kids. My daughter even gets excited for her dentist visits.
Every experience with Uptown Dentistry has been incredibly positive — from wisdom teeth extraction to regular cleanings. The dentists and staff are incredibly professional and friendly. Their commitment to their patients is highly evident and shows with a consistent, great experience.

Had my 4 wisdom teeth pulled and a deep cleaning done.
Never expected my experience to be so pleasant! They have the most friendliest and professional service, and the office is super nice and clean.
Thank you Uptown Dentistry! I highly recommend this place!

All my dental visits was always scary with lots of fears. Not anymore. Dr. Jeff is one of the BEST. Very caring and well skilled! I’ve done very deep dental cleaning and now we’re working on cavities. Couldn’t be happier. No pain at all. Excellent experiance! All staff is very friendly! Office is super clean and very beautiful! Highly reccomend Uptown Dentistry. I’m so have that I’ve made a great choice!
Thanks you guys!

For 34 years I went to the same dentist, but finally decided to switch to someone closer to where I live. Uptown Dentistry was fairy new at the time I switched, but it looked nice and had good reviews on Unilocal.I took a chance and made the switch and it’s been the best thing! Dr. Jeff is awesome and so is the staff! Visiting the dentist is a pleasant experience! They have the new technology (at least new to me) that makes cleanings super simple, painless and fast! They even have a tv that is over your head while they are working on you which is a nice distraction!
If you are looking for a new dentist, definitely go to Uptown Dentistry!

I’m really not sure that you can imagine a better dental experience than what you get at Uptown Dentistry. The people are wonderful, the facility is beautiful, Dr Jeff is super friendly and highly skilled. My two children for many years were seeing an excellent pediatric dentist in Park Ridge, but as college students they reluctantly felt like it was time to move on. I encouraged both of them to try Uptown, and they each had consistently excellent experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Uptown.

I could not agree more! I too scheduled an appointment based on all of the fantastic reviews posted and was not disappointed. From Erin the receptionist, to Ashley the hygienist, to Dr. Jeff, the team was amazing! I have extremely sensitive teeth and used to dread going to the dentist even for routine cleanings. I found Dr. Jeff to have a fantastic «bedside» manner. He came out to the waiting area to introduce himself before even walking me to the «chair.» He explained all of the procedures thoroughly and asked if I had any questions along the way. The routine cleaning was fast but thorough and more comfortable than any other visit I have experienced. The office is relaxing, welcoming and modern. Again, my first experience was excellent and I highly recommend this dental practice to all!!!

I just went to Uptown Dentistry for the first time after searching for a new dentist and i absolutely loved it! Dr. Jeff and his staff was amazing!

Thanks to previous Unilocal reviews (and my insurance website) I came to Uptown Dentistry, and am so happy i did. From the receptionist, to the nurse, to Dr. Ruttencutter, it was a fantastic experience. I NEVER thought I would say that about a dentist. Ever. I had a very traumatic experience with my pediatric dentist, and for that reason, I have not been religious about dental visits (thanks Dad for good genes, as I haven’t really needed any specialized work). I would be nauseated and anxious before a dental visit. Not anymore… all of that has gone away with this practice. I had told Dr. Ruttencutter about what happened when I was a little kid, and he was so accommodating — describing in laymen’s terms what he was going to do, what sounds I might here, and what signal I should give him if I needed a break. He even has TVs above you to distract you — thank you Barefoot Contessa for getting me through my visit. Never once did he make me feel bad about not having been to the dentist in the last couple of years — every other dentist I have been to totally played the shame game. He didn’t try to sell me on anything like teeth whitening or braces, which seems to be the trend in dentistry in recent years. It was a (whaaaaattt) pleasurable dental experience. Before my appointment, in the lobby area, Dr. Ruttencutter came out to talk to a dad about his children’s visit, which I thought was very good customer service. There was some confusion with my insurance and the receptionist was so diligent about having everything straightened out before I even left the office. WOW! I have already set up my 6-​month appointment, and am actually looking forward to it!
p. s. I never really paid much attention to the décor of a dentist’s office because I’m always so anxious, but the minute you walk in you cannot help but notice what a zen place it feels like. Beautiful!

angelo and i always look forward to seeing our denists and their wonderful staff at uptown denistry in park ridge. from the time you enter to the time you leave you feel like royalty. thanks again for a wonderful experience. angelo and lena rose sturino

I went here for the first time yesterday. I moved to the area last summer, wanted a dentist in my neighborhood, and I needed a cleaning and checkup. I’m very pleased. The office is clean and modern. Lots of free parking in the lower level garage. Dr. Jeff himself did the cleaning. I don’t think I’ve ever had a dentist clean my teeth, it’s always been a hygienist. And the very best part: They offered me numbing gel that was rubbed on my gums before the cleaning. I’ve found that getting my teeth cleaned by shooting extremely powerful jets of water under my gums can be painful. The numbing gel took care of that. I’ve never been offered that before. No injections, just rubbed on the gums and it had worn off by the time I left. I found my new dentist!

This practice is amazing! I’ve been going to Dr. Jeff and his staff for a little over a year and am very pleased! They make going to the dentist fun especially for my 4 and 5 year old daughters! They look forward to their visits! The business is beautiful and the experience is great and extremely kid friendly… And I must say I really enjoy watching HGTV while I have my teeth cleaned!

Dr. Jeff Ruttencutter and his staff ‘broke the mold’ in professionalism, customer service and patient care. My husband sees Dr. Jeff, I see Dr. Jeff and the Periodontist, Dr. Gajendrareddy, and my 2yr old and 3 yr old see Dr. Meggan.
The entire staff was very kid friendly and made my kids very comfortable and at ease with Dr. Meggan; no tears or tantrums! The boys were angels and the kid play area was amazing! ;)
Dr. Jeff is always very professional and well educated — but he also has a calming sense of humor that takes the edge off any apprehension that you may have about going to the dentist. He has a quiet wit that you don’t necessarily catch right away. Dr. Jeff is very focused on what treatment makes the most sense for us.
The dental assistants are all wonderful — nothing is worse than finding a great dentist and then his staff hates their life. You could tell everyone was happy to be there, which is a good feeling. From the minute you walk in, you feel welcomed, comfortable (in a gorgeous modern office), and very much appreciated for your business.
Dr. Gajendrareddy did a tissue graft procedure on my bottom gums — not the best thing I’ve ever been through, but having said that — I’m glad he did it. He was incredibly considerate during the procedure, asked me how I was doing every 10 minutes, talked me through everything, etc. What I appreciated most, was that he was upfront about the benefits and risks, potential insurance annoyances and recovery. He and Dr. Jeff were very pleased with the end result.
I pass 100+ Dentists on my way here — I will continue to drive 35 miles to Uptown Dentistry to see Dr. Jeff and his staff.

This is by far the best dentist I’ve been to. I had to do some whitening and a little work on a cavity and they were super fun and friendly to work with. Jeff knows what he is doing (and Chanel) and really cares about your situation. The only tough part was trying not to laugh while I was being worked on because their staff is really funny as well! Erin has also been very helpful with setting appointments! Additionally, the office is very clean and modern and looks great! I would highly recommend them to anyone I know.

I could not recommend a dentist’s office more highly. Every element of each visit is best-​in-​class: friendly, helpful staff; virtually zero wait time; modern, clean facilities; and, most importantly, extremely knowledgable and impressive doctors. I have seen both Dr. Jeff and Dr. Priscilla and trust each one of them 100%. Dr. Priscilla made me a pair of porcelain veneers that are wonderful — huge improvement to my smile and impossible to tell they aren’t my real teeth. She worked on them painstakingly and it was almost a thing of art. Her personal investment in getting them exactly right was refreshing and genuine and so much appreciated. Everyone at Uptown — from the desk staff to the doctors — are not only clearly experts in their fields, but are so engaging and friendly that I guarantee if you visit them once, you will be returning again and again.

As a reformed dentist-​phobe it’s a big deal that I say this: I’m a big fan of Uptown Dentistry. Dr. Jeff is fantastic, and so is the staff. I started going when I was 2 months pregnant as I had some serious issues to take care of due to my own neglect and fear of going to the dentist. That was two years ago and I no longer have any issue making my appointments. Dr. Jeff’s work is virtually pain free, and the state of the art office is comfortable, clean, and the TV’s are a welcome distraction to whatever is going on with my exam. The best is the ultrasonic teeth cleaning, no picking, scraping, and I’m in and out for a cleaning in 30 minutes flat!

Dr. Jeff and his team are fantastic. They are very kind, efficient and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Jeff made sure that all my concerns were addressed. I’ve already recommended Uptown Dentistry to friends.

I just changed dentists to see Dr. Ruttencutter as I was recommended per my sister who just started going here. So glad I did! Friendly and knowledgable staff, extremely clean and up to date facility, overall just excellent experience! I definitely recommend going here!

Brought the whole family, the kids love the whole staff :)
Both Dr. Ruttencutter and Dr. Chang are great with our kids and make going to the dentist fun – I only wish I had dentists like this when I was a kid!
We wanted to get my daughter her first cleaning, since she now has half a mouth full of teeth – and it’s great to get her used to the dentist. My son (3) was due to see Dr. Ruttencutter again so we all came by the office and they were able to see the whole family and rotated us in and out so I could get my cleaning done as well.
If you are looking for a family dentist in the Park Ridge area, stop by and meet the folks at Uptown Dentistry – they go a long way to make their patients happy and earn their customers’ business.
