Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Penesis is a hero
He has done many root canals for me and always takes special time and care due to my periodontal issues. If you have pain, you have to go see him!

I was so nervous about my first root canal I was about to leave the office but after he explained everything and promised me I wouldn't feel any pain and he was right, he even had me laughing during the procedure. Thank you

Dr. Penesis did a pain free root canal for me. He is a very knowledgeable and professional endodontist. His staff was also very nice and professional. If you need a root canal, and are worried about the pain, this is the man to see. Can't say enough great things about him and how well I did.

this doctor is the Best Ever, I had a very hard root canal done today on my back tooth, my roots were curved under the tooth. He gave me shots that didn't hurt at all, I was shocked and though the procedure took 1 1/2 hours, I felt nothing, was I scared at first you bet but when he started I knew I was in the best of hands. His office is on Renwick road in Plainfield and Oak Brook center Illinois. if we had more stars I would put them in. I will tell all the people I know.

I was very anxious about needing a root canal. Dr. Penesis was extremely kind and patient with me. He gave me extra anesthetic and told me to raise my hand if I felt any pain at all. He explained everything he was doing. It was a very difficult surgery (long and thin roots), but I didn't feel ANY pain! Dr. Penesis even called me that evening to make sure I was doing well. When I called with a question the following day, I received an answer quickly. Highly recommend!

Dr Penesis recently completed the repair of a root canal gone... BAD! VERY BAD!!! Not only is Dr Penesis extremely knowledgeable but is systematic in his approach to solving the problem. Additionally, he takes the time to ensure his patients and their family know exactly what is going to happening before, during and after the procedure. His staff is delightful and extremely proficient in the care of their patients. My procedure was done with a local anesthetic and I can tell you the only di

Dr. Penesis is the one of the most professional and kind DDS I have ever been to and at 77 I have been to many. I also was the most relaxed I have ever been in a dentist office because of his low key manner while thoroughly explaining the procedure I needed. After the surgery was done I was utterly amazed at what little discomfort I had....no real pain!

Dr. Vince Penesis and his staff demonstrate the four attributes that any patient looks for in medical treatment today. He and his staff are personable, caring, professional and highly skilled. During the consultation visit, Dr. Penesis thoroughly explained the condition that existed and clearly identified what steps would be taken to resolve the issue. During the treatment, Dr. Penesis and his assistant made sure that I was comfortable, and performed the procedure seamlessly.

Dr Penesis is fantastic. After having a bad experience when young at a dentist I developed a true fear of the dental experience. Needless to say being told I needed a root canal caused me anxiety and fear. I explained my fear to Dr. Penesis and he made me feel comfortable as we discussed thoroughly the procedure he was about to perform. He and his team put me at ease through the entire procedure and I didn't feel a thing! I even received a follow up call at night to see how I was doing!

I had a root canal done by Dr. Penesis and it couldn't have gone better. He did an excellent job. I didn't feel any pain at all - I didn't even feel the needle injecting the novocaine. He takes his time with his patients and has a professional yet caring manner. I've had 5 or 6 root canals in my lifetime and this one was by far the BEST!

I was referred to Dr. from my regular dentist to finish a difficult root canal. From the very beginning, I had a great experience. He, himself, got on the phone when I was making my appointment to explain the process. I got in the next day for a consultation! Then, within a week I had an appointment for my procedure. Upon getting there, no waiting and was prepped. The area was properly numbed--NO PAIN. Then throughout, he explained everything to me. Later, Dr. called to see if I was ok.

Mere reference of the dreaded root canal sends shudders down some people's spines. If you are one of these people, shudder no more and book your procedure with Dr. Penesis. I literally just got home from my procedure and it was smooth as silk, pain-free. His disposition and chairside manner are remarkable. His technical skills are clearly top-notch. I cannot speak enough about how at ease I felt before and during the procedure. Dr. Penesis is patient, thorough and I never felt rushed. Grade:A+

I would HIghly reccomend Dr. Penesis! I have had a history of problems with dentists and doctors office visits. He put my mind to ease and made sure that I had absolutely no pain throughout the experience. I had three root canals and about fell asleep during the last visit. He got all three done in two visits, each in under an hour. Anyone who needs a root canal should consider Dr. Penesis even if he is out of network like he was for me. Well worth it!

Dr. Penesis is the most qualified endodontist I have ever met. He performed two root canals on me within the past five years. He explains everything thoroughly, calms patient anxiety, has an excellent and professional staff to support his work, and most importantly, made both of my dental procedures completely painless. No one enjoys going through dental procedures, but when you must, I highly recommend Dr. Penesis!
