As someone who had really bad dental anxiety, JDC has been there every step of the way. I used to shriek when Dr. Chris came at me with a drill, but now it's not so bad, and he has helped me through all of my dental issues. And as a poor college kid, I appreciate their flexibility. I hope to keep coming to them for a while ♡♡

I don't know if Dr Joy is any good. But her assistant Diane is terrible and RUDE. I called to get her to come out and see my 78 year old mother with dementia. We arranged for her to come to my parents house today and Dr. Joy never showed up. I don't know how you stay in business!!! I live nearby and will come for a refund on the $150 deposit my sister gave. I wish I could give it a zero. Dr. Joy, do yourself a favor and fire Diane

My grandmother is 101 years old and is bed ridden. I needed to find a dentist which makes home visits in order to remove her tooth. I came across Doctor Joy’s information and gave her a call. We were able to set up an appointment with a very short notice. I can not express or find enough words to say what an amazing experience we had with her. She was on time, took her time to explain the full process, but most importantly treated my grandma delicately and with patience. A week later, after the tooth removal my grandma began eating more and looked much stronger all thanks to Doctor Joy. She is

The new office location is really convenient for me and is bright and cheery. As a new patient I liked Doctor Joy alot, very nice and competent. I have serious questions as to billing practices, however. Word to the wise, get a predetermination for all expensive dental work. I had a cleaning, then came back for five cavities, two root canals and eventually two buildups and crowns. Of course all this work totaled thousands of dollars, thank God for insurance. The problem is, however, that Diane at the front desk will charge you consistently more then the patient amount shown on the insurance EOB

Dr. Joy is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to make sure her patients are taken care of. I genuinely appreciated the time Dr. Joy spent providing me recommendations and expanding my knowledge on dental care. She's funny and personable -- and the new location is new and beautiful! Staff members are just as awesome, and Diane is a pleasure to work with. I look forward to continuing to visit Joyful Dental Care as I know I'm in good hands, whether it's with Dr. Joy or other colleagues.

I have had the same dentist my whole life so when I had to find a new one, this made me extremely nervous. Dr. Joy had the best reviews for my area and I get why.

When I went in for my initial appointment, I was under the impression that I would be getting x-rays and a cleaning. However, I still had some inflammation of my gums from a recent infection and Dr. Joy was honest and said It wouldn't be fair for me to do a cleaning now because your gums are still so swollen and it would be way more painful..Thank you for your honesty. It made me feel like she wasn't in it just for the money

Dr Joy fitted me in and redid my filling with no charge when I experienced pain after a recent filling.
She is always very good at educating me on good tooth care and the science behind it. And has a friendly and down to earth attitude and a good sense of humor.
Dr Wanda is really nice too- very gentle and laid back. The two dental techs I met were friendly and good conversationalists. Totally recommend and definitely excited to see the fancy new space when they move.

I'm an elder law attorney and I recently used Joy's services to purchase dentures for an elderly client in a nursing home. Joy got right on it, was affordable and the family was very happy with her services. I highly recommend her for any clients, no matter what the age!

I have known Dr. Joy for over 25 years. When we met, the second thing she said was “I am going to be a dentist” (first was her name). She has never waivered once from her passion of providing quality dental care for all. She is professional yet personable, never ceases learning about new dental advances but stresses the tried-and-true methods that work. She has been my daughter’s dentist since she started going (17 years). She accommodates emergency patients frequently, and now travels to senior patients’ homes and facilities to ensure they are able to receive quality dental care no matter

Dr. Joy is truly a joy! my husband was on Facebook that night and saw that one way to schedule dentist appointments is through a third party administrator- OpenCare or OneCare? Within a matter of minutes, we found Dr. Joy based on our zip code. She actually her the best ratings for our area. We both scheduled appointments. One thing to note is that Dr. Joy administration does a lot of text message reminder of appointments and they even sent me a text message to inform me that I have forma to fill out prior to my appointment. I completed the forms in a matter of minutes for my husband and I- it

Dr. Joy was the best after years of not going to the dentist because of fear. She made me feel relaxed through the whole procedure and did not feel judged at all because of dental issues which was one of my concerns when looking for a dentist. Staff was polite and very nice my daughter even was excited after she got a goodie bag with dental care. She most definitely be my dentist from now on.

Dr. Joy has been a wonderful dentist for my family. She has consistently provided first class service and advice. Her love of dentistry is always on display as she discusses the latest and greatest in the field; she clearly loves the profession and is always plugged in to the evolution of her field which is comforting. Great family practice, highly recommended.

Great Dentist! Great Assisting staff! I had avoided going to the dentist for at least four years because I have a big fear of going! I had recently been experiencing pain in my mouth and knew I needed to go to a dentist soon, or I would probably face severe damage to my mouth. Needless to say after going all that time without a professional cleaning I needed a lot of work. Dr Joy was very up front with me, about the work I needed and the price it would cost. She treated me with respect and did not make me feel ashamed for needing all that work or avoiding the dentist for so long! Her Assistant

Found Dr. Joy Poskozim on the internet. Needed priority dental care for my HOME-BOUND 98 year mother. Contacted Dr. Joy at her office. She would be able to make a house call the next morning at 8:00 a.m. Dr. Joy was extremely prompt and arrived at 8:00 a.m. She is VERY friendly, knowledgeable, not to say a great dentist.
VERY reasonable house call fee! If you are on the far nw side of Chicago around the Lincolnwood, Skokie, Chicago, boarder and need a dentist that will make house calls for a
home-bound patient, I HIGHLY recommend.

Dr. Joy is a very knowledgeable dentist; she not only knows what to do, but also why it's done. She is very good about getting the patient seated in the chair as soon as they get to the office. You can tell she cares about her patients' overall well being because she is always willing to go the extra mile to get what you need.
Renata, the receptionist, is always cheerful and also very good at what she does.
Overall, this is a great dental office to go to!

I have been going to see Dr. Joy for about 5 years, now, and and somewhat ashamed that I never reviewed here before this.

She is the perfect dentist, very knowlegable and current, technically, empathetic to her patients and to top it all off, funny. She has handled my regular dental needs and 2 different "emergency" situations. Always handled professionally and with a smile, as well as good advice and full information about my various choices.

I highly recommend her, and have to many of my friends.

I've been a patient of Dr. Joy's for about 7 years and the care is always top-notch. It's a small office and Dr. Joy does almost everything herself, the way it should be. The personal touch is there. A lot of people have a fear of going to the dentist, but with Dr. Joy, she makes you feel as welcome as a member of her own family. I highly recommend a trip to Joyful Dental Care if you are looking for that personal touch.

I've been going to Dr. Joy Poskozim for 7 years now and have had so many great visits. I really like that she leans towards integrative practices and is a big supporter of the community around her business. She's very up front with me, and I feel like my dental health has certainly gotten better since I've gone to Joyful Dental. I've had every dentist since I was 5 tell me to floss, but only Dr. Joy has actually made me want to do it for myself.

Pretty funny response from Dr. Joy. Completely ignores the actual issues that I mentioned and tries to hide behind the Privacy Act. I don't really know what my dental record has to do with why I may have thought the dental office was cramped. All I can think of is that it is some kind of thinly veiled fat joke? I mean, I'm a big dude (6'1" 240lbs.) but not morbidly obese or something... And I didn't think that just the dental work rooms were cramped (which they are) I felt like the whole office was obviously a badly remodeled travel agency or something, like when

Dr. Joy is awesome! As a child I was always at the dentist getting cavities filled, so I hate going to the dentist. Who doesn't? Joy makes you very comfortable. I went in for a cleaning and x-rays. She gave me a very thorough cleaning & her assistant was very nice as well. Plus I love the aquarium...that little puffer fish was so cute. I'll be back.

I wanted to like this place and I had hoped I had found my new dentist, however i couldn't help but feel dirty when i was in this place. It is the mom and pops of the dentist industry.
I came in one day because my gums hurt and all she did was clean them with CVS brand hydrogen peroxide . . . .
I am not even sure if the receptioinist/biller knows what their doing. I have been billed wrong numerous of times.
There are plenty of better dentists out there.
