"I wanted to write this review both as a "thank you" to the Google and Yelp reviewers for pointing me to Dr. Koos' practice as well as a really big "thank you" to everyone at ORA Oral Surgery & Implant Studio for making the removal of my wisdom teeth go so smoothly. I was a big chicken and was putting this off for over a year. In retrospect I am glad that I did delay because my dentist had been reminding me to have them removed and gave me a referral to some other doctor last year. Went to this other guy and was less than impressed with him and his office - turns out he was golfing buddies with my general dentist and that's why he sent me there, nice :-( This time I looked for myself and found ORA and Doctor Koos. His office is crazy cool, he is young and also a physician (who goes to school that long??). There is probably no other oral surgery office in Chicago where you can drift off to sleep listening to Drake looking at an illuminated sky. My wisdom teeth were sideways impacted and he did a really great job because I am barely sore. Message to the wise - Don't go to just any oral surgeon that your dentist refers you to....except if it is Dr. Koos." Lexi K., Chicago, IL
"I actually traveled all the way from Cleveland to have a sinus lift and some dental implants from Dr. Koos. Both my children went to ORA Oral Surgery & Implant Studio to have their wisdom teeth removed while they were in College and absolutely loved the office and raved about Dr. Koos. They insisted that I come and see him for my oral surgery so that is why I jumped on the Mega Bus and came all the way to Chicago. Couldn't be happier and now I know why my kids were so impressed, Dr. Koos does fantastic work." Alexandra S. Cleveland, OH
"I recently had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Koos and his staff and must say that this was the best dental experience I have ever had!
The office looks like a spa, which put my nerves at ease and Dr. Koos took the time to explain the procedure and even called me in the evening to check on my progress (during the holiday weekend).
I can't sing enough praises and will be definitely recommended this office to anyone who needs dental work." Christina W., Oak Lawn
"I had a double lower extraction performed by Dr. Koos involving a broken molar and a wisdom tooth.
Through the use of state-of-the-art technology, combined with attentive, careful, involved expertise, Dr. Koos clearly articulated the plan for this surgery and immediately answered all of my questions and put my mind at rest.
Dr. Koos is truly a professional in every sense of the word. He is competent, insightful and his manner of approaching a patient is very assuring and comforting. He followed up with me via cell phone the night of my procedure and walked me through a few things to enhance my recovery.
As to the procedure itself...less than 30 minutes after setting foot in the surgical suite I was rid of a very dangerous abscess and the wisdom tooth that caused it. The worst discomfort was a little tenderness at the injection points where I was numbed and that wasn't even noticeable. I had little swelling, which was all internal.
State-of-the-art technology, a gifted doctor who truly cares for his patients, a gorgeous, spa-like office and an incredible support staff makes OraSugery the only place to consider." Brian D., Chicago
"Having never undergone any type of surgery procedure, I was pretty nervous to get my wisdom teeth removed. The entire staff at Ora were nothing but helpful and kind through my whole experience. I received a thorough explanation of what the procedure would entail, and every person I dealt with was extremely professional. I have already recommended Ora to friends." Amy K., Chicago
