Patient Testimonials

Dr. Kasper is absolutely fabulous!  Calm, reassuring & phenomenally talented.
 
I've had my share of root canals over the years, and it's not tops on my list of elective enjoyment!  But my recent experiences with the entire staff at Modern Endodontics have been incrediibly pleasant. I have already told everyone I know,….if you need an endodontist, this is the place!  Thanks to all of you for making the patient feel that they come first!

Dr. Habas and staff were terrific.  Besides being a Cubs fan I have nothing but good things to say about the treatment I received from him personally.  I went in for a root canal and expected the experience to be quite painful, but instead found it to be remarkably pain free.  His staff was also terrific.  I'd recommend anyone to his office.

I want to thank everyone at Modern Endo - the experience I had was perfect in every way!  I called Friday morning to make an appointment and was in the chair 3 hours later!  The technology used amazed me, and it was really cool to see my xrays pop up on the computer immediately.  Dr. Kasper, his assistant, and the ladies at reception were very professional, caring, and overall extremely pleasant.  I really liked that Dr. Kasper sat and explained everything he was going to do, used colorful images to describe what was wrong with my tooth, and had a gentle manner, which made me relax.  The office is lovely, clean, and high-tec; this is the only place I'll ever go for a root canal, or other extreme dental procedure again.  Thanks to all of you I'm feeling much better!

My name is Sherry Cummings and I am an oral surgery assistant and practice manager for Satko Oral Surgery in Western Springs, Il. We refer our patients to Dr. Kasper and Dr. Habas at Modern Endodontics.  All of our patients have told us wonderful things about the doctors and the rest of the staff.  I've also had personal experience as a patient of Dr. Kasper. Even though I work in the dental field I am a chicken of a patient. Dr. Kasper's warm and gentle manner kept me comfortable throughout the whole procedure.

Dear Doctor Habas:
 
I want to thank you for making a dreaded experience (a root canal) such a breeze.  I have to admit that I was not looking forward to the procedure.  You and your staff did a remarkable job.  I was in such pain when I arrived at your office and after my first appointment was in total awe of how much better I felt.  You are awesome.  I was amazed when you called me the night of the procedure to check on me and was telling my whole family that you gave me your cell phone number to contact you anytime if I had a problem.  That type of follow up is rare today and I certainly did appreciate your concern.  I was at the bank the other day and gave my personal banker your name and office phone number.  She was having trouble with her teeth and dreading a dental visit.  I told her about you and your staff and my experience.  I am  confidently  recommending you to all my friends and family.  Thank you again for all your help.

Dr. Habas,

Just a quick note to say thank you for handling my emergency root canal over the holidays!  You and your staff are awesome and I really appreciate everyone's kindness!

Warm regards

Brett Carter

My experience at Modern Endodontics was like none other. I put off making the call to your office for about two weeks after I was given a referral from my primary dentist. But, from the initial call to the office for an appointment to the actual root canal, it was the best experience I have had.  The ladies at the desk were very nice, informative and very helpful. I had even made a couple calls with questions prior to my visit and everytime they were friendly and helpful. Most importantly, I have not had any pain at all from the root canal. Thank you Dr Kasper and your staff.

Dear Dr. Habas,

I want to thank you for your services rendered.  You and your staff were very informative regarding my options while being genuinely concerned about my comfort level during and after my procedure.

In addition, your amiable staff worked favorably with me on a convenient payment plan while submitting the claim to my insurance company.

Definition of root canal: Terror!!

That is what I used to think until I went to see Dr. Habas and crew. Would you believe I actually fell asleep during the procedure. Hats off to Dr. Habas for a job well done. The friendly and courteous staff made the experience a good one.

Definition of root canal: Piece of Cake!!

Chuck Frees

Dr. Habas,

You and your staff displayed the utmost in professionalism while still maintaining a friendly patient rapport -  important as root canals can be a little unnerving to some of us! I especially appreciated the educational process around the problem tooth as well as the root canal process.

Many thanks.

Michael A.

The experience was quick and painless - much more so than I ever expected. True professionals that care about you first.

Richard A. Gulliver

I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you were able to fit me in and help me with a very painful situation.  The staff was extremely compassionate and professional from start to finish.  I cannot thank Dr. Kasper enough for all he did to make the experience as quick and painless as possible.  THANK YOU.

Debra Gazis

This was my second root canal with Dr. Kasper in two years.  He and his staff are excellent at what they do, very efficient and caring.  I tell all my friends about them.

Marilyn Galik

Coming from a long line of false teeth I am no stranger to root canals.  As a senior some of my original root canals sometimes need to be redone.  The tooth that needed attention is the anchor for a four tooth bridge.  Replacing such a bridge is a very expensive proposition if damaged.  This job required "The Best".  My dentist and personal friend, a perfectionist with absolutely no tolerance for anything but  perfection, referred me to your organization because he is also one of your patients.  He couldn't say enough about how skillful, well equipped and friendly you and your staff were with him.

Not only did you save my bridge, my dentist's praise was absolutely true!  Everything you state in your mission statement is obvious in your practice.  Personable, friendly and helpful attributes are present in you and your entire staff.  You set the standard!  You're the best! 

Art Gordon

True to his mission, Dr. Kasper provides the finest endodontic treatment available! Thanks for the expert, comprehensive and quality care of you and your staff.

Sister Diane

I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation for the professional accomplishment of my challenging root canal by Dr. Edward Kasper during my two appointments of December 11 and December 28, 2009.  I was greatly impressed by Dr. Kasper's excellence, as well as his step-by-step explanation of the procedures.

Mary Dangles

Oh! the appositeness of having two skilled endodontists in the same building as my talented dentist!!!

Nadine

Dr. Kasper performed a difficult procedure with speed and precision. He carefully explained my options and answered all my questions. His staff is courteous and helpful.

Mary Devereux

Thank your for taking good care of me and seeing me in such short notice.  Anyone that walks through your door is in good hands of care.  God bless your hearts.

P.S. Patti and Kim you are angels.

Carla Arce

Hi Dr. Kasper and staff,
Thank you so much for the wonderful care I received at your office.  I was so nervous to get the root canal I needed, but you and your office helped me to feel calm and confident about the procedure.  You were right too.  There was nothing to worry about.  It was a piece of cake.  There was no pain or discomfort at all.  It is so nice to have my tooth well again.  From the moment I entered your office until I left, I felt well taken care of.  You are all the absolute best!

Thank you

Lisa Roche

I recently completed treatment for a root canal.  It was scheduled and completed in a very timely fashion.  Dr. Kasper was very good at explaining the whole procedure.  I was very impressed by how efficient the entire process was.  I've had previous root canals and this was by far the most efficent treatment I've had to date. 
I think this practice surely is Modern!
The staff is geniunely friendly and helpful.  All in all Modern Endodontics made one of life's dreaded procedures a breeze.

Thanks for taking care of me.

Carol Wroble

My experience was marvelous considering I was having a root canal performed. Dr. Kasper and his staff are friendly, caring and very professional. Thanks so much for the experience.

Cindy Kellogg

Dear Dr. Habas,

Thank you for your careful consideration of a possible root canal treatment on one of my molars.  Your expert determination that the problem could be cleared up with antibiotics saved me a lot of pain, distress, and expense. The kindness of your wonderful staff was greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Karen S.

I needed two root canals done. I was a little apprehensive at first when I made my appointment. I got to the office and everyone was so nice and pleasant.

Dr. Kasper did a beautiful job, even answering all my questions. he put me at ease immediately. I had very little discomfort.

I would recommend your dental practice to everyone. A special thanks to Patti, Diana, Camille, Katrina and Kim who helped me and followed up to make sure I was ok.

I can't say enough about everyone in the office. Thanks again.

Barbara L.

Dr. Kasper and his staff performed in a very professional and empathetic manner.  Every question, concern, and need was efficiently addressed and expedited.  Would emphatically recommend him.

Thomas Talaga

Thank you for making the root canal you did for me a painless experience.  I suffered no discomfort during the procedure, and fortunately, none afterwards.  Please extend my appreciation to your assistant who was solicitous of my comfort also.

Bonnie Conroyd

To say that I dreaded the appointment is an understatement. Knowing that my "curvy" root would present difficulties and require a specialist only heightened my anxieties about having a root canal. I was quite certain that nothing short of magic would ease my fears. Despite my fixation on the horrible unknown, my incredible trepidation was alleviated--not by magic but by an amazing staff and an expertly gifted endodonist. From the time I entered Dr. Kasper's office and met Kim, through the evaluation with Camille, the tedious procedure, the hugs graciously accepted as I left, to the follow up calls I received the next day, I have never been so impressed, comforted and grateful. No doubt there are many who offer good endodontic services; however, I feel obligated to tell as many people as I can not to settle for good when they can experience a "total package" of state-of-the-art computerized equipment, utilized by a masterful endodontist who wisely surrounds himself with a proficient and truly caring staff. In the end, I cried--not because I was in pain or terrified, but because I was no longer in pain or terrified. Thank you so much for giving the best of yourselves to your patients.

Tina Valentino

I received emergency treatment on a tooth that I was scheduled to have treated a couple of weeks later. The pain became unbearable and you saw me on an emergency basis late in your busy work day. Your office is very clean and neat and your equipment is state of the art. Your staff was very courteous from your front office personnel to your assistant, I felt very comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. I was pleased that the procedure was pain free and that in the days following, the pain was non-existent. Because of such a professional experience I would recommend you to anyone that needs treatment. Thank you!

Charles Lopez
I was introduced to Dr. Kasper and his staff after an experience with my general dentist.  I had a cavity filled with them and had undergone 3 root canals (on the same tooth with ongoing pain) before I was referred to Modern Endodontics. 
 
By the time I got to them, I was frustrated, in pain, and so sick of people working on my tooth.  From the minute I made the phone call for the appointment, I wondered why I hadn't called 3 root canals earlier!  
 
The staff was (and continues to be) amazing.  I was given an appointment very quickly.  I had never had any tooth problems before and, to put it mildly, I was scared and in pain.  I met Dr. Kasper and he immediately put me at ease.  I burst in to tears when he asked me where it hurt so he numbed me up without any more questions.  I then found out that I had a unique tooth and had multiple canals.  There is no way anyone else would have found that.
With the high technology and caring manner that Dr. Kasper practices in his everyday ways, any patient is put at ease. I received a phone call the day after my procedure and have since had my annual follow up.  I haven't had any problems and continue to go back for any root canal issues.  The whole staff is amazing and caring.  From answering questions about insurance and payment, to getting me an appointment in a timely fashion, I can't say enough about this office.
Sheila Sanders

From the moment I stepped into Dr. Kasper's office, I received wonderful treatment. The staff greeted me warmly, ensured that I was comfortable, and even called me the next day to check on my status. Dr. Kasper is very skillful. He made the experience totally pain-free. Thanks to Dr. Kasper, I no longer fear root canals!

Thanks.

Jennifer Krichbaum

I just want to Thank You for the wonderful service I received.  It is not pleasant having a root canal but you did make me feel comfortable.  Dr. Kasper was gentle and did explain the procedure he was performing.  The staff was great; very accommodating with schedules, followed up with me the next day, and most important always had a smile.  Thanks for a satisfying experience.

Pam Stefani

Dr Kasper and staff are the best!  They have state-of-the-art equipment and a warm and friendly staff. They take the time to explain the procedure before, during, and afterward.  I felt comfortable and confident during the whole experience. They go the extra mile to ensure that their patients are well taken care of and it shows from the minute you walk into their office! I have had two other root canals by two other endodontists, and will never go to anyone but Dr Kasper should I ever need this type of service again.
 
Dr Kasper, thank you for your professionalism, kindness, and attention to the care of my teeth.

Theresa Tardi

The whole process of having a root canal has always been so negative.  This is the second one I have had at your office and I couldn't be happier with the results.  Dr. Kasper and his entire staff are wonderful.  Everyone at the office makes you feel completely comfortable from the minute you walk in the door to the minute you walk out.  The facility is warm and inviting and all of the equipment is modern and up to date, another reason why being a patient of Dr. Kasper's is such a positive experience.  I hope I don't have to have another root canal, but if I do, I know I am in good hands with Dr. Kasper.

Tina Horazy

Just a note of thanks. What a surprise the root canal was a cake walk. As you know, it was my snoring that actually woke me up a couple of times... how embarrassing! The latest technology used was impressive, and the staff from the front desk to each assistant was terrific. Dr. Kasper, I didn't even need any follow up Advil. You do great work, I really appreciate it. I could almost say I am looking forward to another one.... if I do have another one, you can be sure, you're my guy. Thank you!

Nancy Allen

My experience with Dr. Kasper and his staff was far beyond average expectations. Both the doctor and staff were considerate and concerned, and took the time to make sure I fully understood the procedures they were going to do. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services. They have a new modern office with the latest equipment and the utmost skill. A+++++!

Dianna Gugliuzza

Dear Dr. Kasper,  

Thank you so much for the professional manner in which your office responded to my emergency. You made every effort to minimize a painful situation. I was very impressed with the latest equipment that your office offered to diagnose and treat my situation. I felt that I was in good hands.

Dear Dr Kasper and Staff
