Patient Testimonials

We have three children, two are special needs & one is severe. The two children with disabilities (Autism) also have genetically weak teeth & experience Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) making dental appointments extremely challenging. When we researched Pediatric Dentists in the Western suburbs who specialized in serving this unique population, Dr. Janis was recommended repeatedly by parents in our special needs circles. 10+ years later, we know why! Our children love him & so do we due to all of the positive outcomes we have had! Dr. Janis has successfully completed 3 dental surgeries in addition to the years of thorough preventative treatments. He is patient, has a calm & friendly demeanor, & keeps up-to-date with modern dentistry offered in his state-of-the-art facility. He takes the time to debrief us as parents after every exam giving a detailed health report. He explains clearly what he is did, then shares why, and finally how his approach helped. Any family looking for exceptional care for their children, provided by a highly knowledgeable, compassionate Dentist who employs a long-tenured, experienced Staff, has found the right practice. We are truly grateful for Dr. Janis’ dedication to his patients & families & highly recommend/endorse him & his office team!

Love this office. My kids have been coming here for years.

Dr. Janis was a welcomed referral. Our neighor had the same issue with past pediatric dentists until she found Dr Janis. Other dentists said all this work needed to be done that was completely unecessary. He is excellent with the children and the advice he offers to parents in how to deal with upcoming visits to allow the kids to relax. He shows that parents xrays and goes over them, so we know the mentioned work that needs to be completed is actually things that need to be done. He discusses other dental issues that are outside his scope of work, with referrals and recommendations so that you are not doing things before they need to be done, allowing nature to take its course until man needs to step in to correct what nature cannot. We are blessed to have him and I highly recommend his services.

My oldest son now 20 still goes to Dr. Janis. Seeing him for the first time at 8 mo old for a broken tooth due to a fall. Now bigger that the Dr himself I can’t imagine him ever having to switch. All 3 of my kids love his gentle manner and of course the retro water games. Absolutely the best!!!

My kids have been seeing Douglas Janis for years. We have roughly a half hour drive to his office, but he is worth the drive. Our firstborn had an abnormal tooth that broke and needed to be removed before she was two years old. The process went so smoothly that she left that day still liking her dentist. We are thankful for the dental care that Douglas Janis and his friendly staff provide.
