Dr. Anthony M Spina

I highly recommend Dr.Spina for wisdom teeth removal! He was very professional and comforting as he explained everything so nicely. All his staff was friendly and welcoming! I also want to mention how gentle he is, I had no swelling only minimal pain the day after getting all four of my wisdom teeth removed.

Dr. Anthony Spina was excellent! He performed Botox on my TMJ. I have tried occlusal guards & muscle relaxers with no relief, until Dr. Spina took great care of care two months ago, and I still feel great! I highly recommend Dr. Spina along with his 5 star staff!!

He was very rushed throughout the entire process of removing my wisdom teeth. I had to continually ask questions due to the fact that he and the nursing staff did not provide me with adequate information about my surgery and how I needed to act afterword. Terrible wait times and it’s clear that he is overbooked and rushing during surgery. I began to lose trust in the doctor over time due to his unprofessionalism and lack of care for the patient. He was not clear with me and continually sugarcoated what was going to happen.

He was running very behind but I was kept informed from the beginning which is rare. When he came in very apologetic and professional. Procedure was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dental office. I have never left a review on anything in my life. This experience made me obligated too. It really was a positive experience.

From the moment I checked in with the girls at the front desk, the amazing nursing/radiology staff and of course Dr Spina… they all Put me at ease… the surgery was seamless…this was by far the most positive experience for this very nervous anxious patient! I highly recommend this practice and Dr Spina. I had closer oral surgeons recommended to me by my dentist but followed a rec from a friend and I’m so glad I did.. will always go here moving forward..

My experience at Chicago Surgical Specialists was more than I expected. At age 82 I was apprehensive about the procedure of extracting an infected molar. My blood pressure rose to SYS 195. The dr’s nurse assistant assured me all will be ok. I was given Novocain and waited for the procedure. Dr Spina came in and I was told to open wide. The next voice I heard was Dr Spina saying “it’s all out.” I never felt a thing. Thank you Dr Spina for making this experience…which I dreaded…something I can tell my family and friends about when they need the best place to go for their surgical needs.

I had to have a tooth that once had a root canal done, plus, was under a bridge. I thought I would have to be put out for the procedure, but Dr. Spina said that wouldn't be necessary, it would only take him about 10 minutes to remove the tooth. He was right, it may have taken him slightly longer, but not much. He did an excellent job, I felt absolutely no pain, he stitched it up very nicely and I healed very well. Dr. Spina and his staff made me feel very comfortable and reassured, everyone was so nice! I would highly recommend him!

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed. The whole process from scheduling to surgery and post surgery were outstanding and professional. Highly recommend Dr. Spina.

I can't say enough good things about this practice! My son had his wisdom teeth extracted here and EVERYONE, administrators including Marie, nurses including Taylor and Danielle, and Dr. Spina, were all outstanding. We were on a tight timeline with arranging everything so Marie's administrative help was essential. They kept me posted on the timeline when he was in the office and post-op instructions were clear. My son also felt very comfortable with the practice. FYI, Wisdom Teeth extraction procedures may be assigned to your dental or medical insurance, depending on its nature. It was more important for our costs that they be in our medical network, and the office helped us with those details and the coding for the bills. I can't say enough good things about this practice!

My visit with Dr. Spina when very well and because I have had some past procedures turn into a major problem where I had to spend 3 days and nights in intensive care with a morphine drip, with a infection. I have a hard time allowing myself to have any extractions done with out being having a sedative administered. to Dr. Spina was the perfect visit for a patient such as myself. Dr. Spina was so professional and understanding of my upfront anxiety, that he was able to put me ease with just his words and before I knew it my very infected molar was extracted. His professionalism was only matched by his competent assistant nurses and every one I spoke with the his office. I cannot say enough about Danielle, Dawn, Lori, and Fabrina. They were in contact with me each day to make sure I was okay and following the directions they had given me to insure a solid recovery. So thoughtful and encouraging they all were. Thank you ladies for doing your jobs so well.

Office did not ask the right questions before having me to admitted to the hospital for a procedure. Insurance did not pay any of my bill that was over $20,000. Not to mention all the complications from my surgery that Dr. Spina did not handle appropriately. The worst of the worst. Steer clear

Highly recommend anyone who needs oral surgery to come see Dr. Spina and staff at Chicago Surgical Specialists. They are all professional and kind. Also I’m extremely happy with all the protocols and safety measures they are taking during Covid.

Dr. Spina was highly recommended for my daughter's wisdom teeth removal surgery. From scheduling to surgery the staff was great and I highly recommend Dr. Spina for any oral surgery needs.

Had three wisdom teeth removed very informative on the procedure. Felt very relaxed and comfortable Highly recommend .

Dr. Spina is truly the best oral surgeon around. I had a surgery done with him my freshman year of high school, and I just got my wisdom teeth removed with him today. I was absolutely terrified for both procedures, but him and his staff made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. He cares greatly for all of his patients and has a very reassuring and confident bedside manner. I would never go to anyone else if I needed any other work done. 10/10 recommend him hands down.

98 years old and his entire office is wonderful.

Dr.Spina and the front desk have excellent client communication. I had my wisdom teeth removed and dealt with anxiety for the sedation. The nurse who was on my case did not have a good bedside manner however Dr Spina stepped in and really made me feel comfortable with my anxiety. Great office!

Dr. Spina extracted my wife's wisdom teeth today. Couldn't be more happy with the result... high level of skill, professionalism, and a warm bedside manner. Highly recommended!

You can tell of Dr. Spina's high level of skills and dedication when you meet him. The staff is great as well. They're very efficient and caring. They all take time to take care of the patient. I've had several procedures done there.

Dr. Spina got me prepped to have 4 wisdom teeth removed, and Dr. Cimino performed the surgery. Both of these gentlemen and their staff are very professional. I am sitting here 6 hours after stepping out of surgery with no bleeding and being able to talk. I have no pain (Still have not taken pain pills) and I could not be more happy. Definitely the place to get wisdom teeth removed!!! Dr. Spina got me prepped to have 4 wisdom teeth removed, and Dr. Cimino performed the surgery.

Dr. Spina is a kind, knowledgeable professional. I have had several successful procedures, and he and his staff have been wonderful. I would never go to anyone else.

Dr. Spina was unbelievable, amazing, such an amazing professional. He made my daughter and I feel so welcomed and comfortable. His explanations of his procedure was so on point to make my daughter even more comfortable. I would recommend Dr Spina 1000 times over. Thank you to Dr Spina and his staff.

Dr Spina is great. I had an exceptional experience and would recommend without any reservation.

My dentist was able to get in touch with Dr. Spina's office Monday evening, and was able to get me in next-day for an extraction of a molar causing me great pain. I expected to wait awhile, but the wait was short, and I was checked on regularly by staff to make sure I was alright. After being numbed for a few minutes by Dr. Spina, it took all of five minutes (if that) for him to take the tooth out, although it had fragmented (crown). He was very kind, asked if I was okay several times, and took great care of me. I'm very impressed with Dr. Spina and his entire staff: very friendly, professional, awesome people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I've been seeing Dr Spina for a year now he's super and his staff is just wonderful. I wish all medical professionals treated me like I'm treared in his office highly recommend him and staff.

Dr. Spina and Staff are very professional, knowledgeable and thorough from beginning to end.

The best Guy around, wonderful experience, and that’s saying something for a Dental visit.

I took my wisdom tooth out and Dr. Spina did such a great job! He was very kind and caring. No long wait and I went twice.

This office is outstanding. Honest physician and great office staff. Our family has had two medical situations addressed by them and I would highly recommend them to anyone without hesitation. I worked in the industry for 25 years and this is how an office should be run in every aspect. There are no hidden fees, you get a quick response to questions, and they work with you financially if needed. I could not praise their office enough. This office is outstanding.

I had my wisdom teeth removed here and I highly recommend this office! Staff was very kind and helpful. I especially appreciate the dental assistant, Gina I believe, because she helped me with my anxiety and made me feel comfortable. I greatly appreciated that

Both my husband and I had dental work performed by Dr. Spina. The work was done without an issue: professionally with excellent results. I had some teeth extracted and two dental implants. My husband had two teeth extracted also and is due for one dental implant. I highly recommend Dr. Spina and his staff. He did the work with integrity and the highest of standards.

Both of my sons needed their wisdom teeth extracted. Being in the dental field, I knew generally what it was all about, but now that it was my own children going through this I was just as nervous and concerned about this procedure as my sons were. Dr. Spina and his staff were excellent at taking the time to answer all of our questions. On the day of surgery Dr. Spina calmed both of my sons' fears and catered to their individual needs. I felt that he took the time to treat each one as an individual person and not a "one size fits all" approach! We followed his instructions for pain management, use of the ice packs and staying well hydrated! Both of my sons had a great recovery with minimal pain and swelling. Both were so amazed at how smoothly the surgery and recovery went. As a mother and a dental hygienist I was extremely happy with the whole procedure!

I Will recommend Dr Spina to all the people I know of. I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. The surgery was fast and efficient. He was nice and professional. Staff was helpful. I did experience over 30mins waiting time during my two visits, I was told the waiting time is normal by my family. But I do think there might be some way to sort it out. If you are not sure of if you insurance is in network or not, i believe is your own responsibilities to figure it out. Give them a call before visit. It won’t help if you always rely on office’s staffs to point it out for you. I Will recommend Dr Spina to all the people I know of. I had two of my wisdom teeth removed.

Dr. Spina was wonderful! He gave my son an appointment on short notice while home on break. He was in pain and needed his wisdom teeth pulled. The staff were so kind and gently calmed his nerves. We were treated like family as they gave great direction before, during, and after the surgery. They gave very thorough instructions for after care and medications. I would definitely return for any future needs to this practice. I highly recommend their professional and friendly methods!

Dr Spina was terrific! We used him for my sons wisdom teeth and from the first appointment to the last Dr. Spina was informative, gave us a great treatment plan after the surgery and followed up on his healing. He was a professional in every aspect. His staff was also great!

Amazing doctor who cares deeply about his patients! He is very patient centered and any patient is in great hands with him. His staff is wonderful as well. Highly recommended.

Dr. Spina is highly experienced. He gives the patient confidence in the procedure he performs. A very busy but efficient office. All staff very helpful and experienced.

Trying to figure out how to rate a zero star. As an MD myself i know these reviews ( esp the good ones tend to be generated by staff and friends) however I feel compelled to tell my story. I was shocked I waited over an hour and a half in his waiting room for a new patient appointment. Having just worked 30 hrs and hiring a babysitter to stay with my kids for my 6 week wait to get one I figured I would try to hang in there. The waiting room was full of other folks also stuck there freezing and packed. The woman who was sitting next to me who told me she had already been there for 1.5 hours herself. I would never treat my patients like this and I will not give him any more of my time. So I walked out and have a new patient appointment tomorrow somewhere else.

Two complaints about Dr. Spina's practice. First - Long wait times. My son and I waited for an hour for his first appointment. When I told the receptionist how long we had been waiting, she asked if we had filled out paperwork prior to the visit (we had) as though it was somehow our fault. When we finally met with Dr. Spina and mentioned the wait time, he told us that he gave all his earlier patients his undivided attention and reassured us he would do the same for us. Not sure how that helped. Second - Office staff was not helpful. My son met with Dr. Spina for his consultation on January 9th. His surgery was scheduled for February 7th. Someone in the office said they would contact us prior to surgery to tell us what share of the bill would be our responsibility, but we never heard from anyone. Immediately after surgery, I went to pay our share of the bill. I was told that Dr. Spina was not in network and that we were required to pay the entire amount ($468). I explained I would have gone to someone within my network if someone from the office had told me prior to surgery that Dr. Spina wasn't in network. At least one woman in the office rolled her eyes at me when I said it upset me to spend a week's wages on something that could have been covered by my insurance. If you go to see Dr. Spina, be prepared to wait for up to an hour or more. Most important, don't rely on office staff for help with billing or insurance. Do your homework before you agree to any medical procedures or you may get stuck with a bill you wouldn't have had otherwise. Two complaints about Dr. Spina's practice. First - Long wait times.

excellent medical doctor MD, Dentist DDS, and oral surgeon .The reason he is so busy, I could find only 2 DDS ( and ) MD's in the Chicago area, Your teeth can create medical problems, and he is a walking medical library

I had 2 teeth that were extracted. I had a lot of pain I called Dr. Spina and his staff they Took the time out to get me in as soon as possible took me in right away not like some other Dentists that you have to wait for weeks to get in I would refer him to anybody

Will be recommending to anyone who needs the appropriate services. I was very nervous about my wisdom teeth being removed but his calm presence and demeanor had put my mind at ease knowing I was in good hands, with all my questions answered. Everything went well and I am more than happy with the attention and care I was given pre-op and post-op. Can't give this place high enough praise, you won't be disappointed.

Wow words can’t even explain how caring Dr.Spina is. Very down to earth and works with precision. I?had to get all four of my wisdom teeth removed and he made me feel very comfortable and safe. Would recommend him to all! GREAT oral surgeon and a phenomenal person!

Dr. Spina has removed the wisdom teeth from all 4 of my children and recently a granuloma from my tongue. He is a true professional with great care and concern for his patients. Recovery for all of us was quick and easy, even for my son who does not have quick recoveries. His staff is courteous and they follow up on patients to make sure everything is going ok and there are no further questions. I can't recommend him enough -- he and his staff are terrific!

Dr. Spina removed my daughter's wisdom teeth in 2015. She was very nervous.. During the consultation, Dr. Spina was delightful, explained the entire procedure to us, reviewed her X Rays, and answered all our questions. Then before surgery, he repeated everything which calmed her nerves. The surgery was a success, my daughter healed well and was happy. We scheduled our son's wisdom tooth surgery with Dr. Spina and it was another great success. The office staff is very efficient and pleasant

Had a terrible toothache for days. I went to my dentist who said I needed to see Dr. Spina to have this tooth extracted. I called Dr. Spina's office, they saw me the same day. Dr. Spina and his staff were so nice from the minute I walked in the door until I left. Thank you for taking great care of me so quickly!

Customer service is not professional at all. I called the office with a question regarding the surgery my daughter recently had done. They said they will have someone call me back (which they did not). Finally when I was able to talk to them, they either said they never got the message, the office closed early or closed for the weekend, or your voice mail was not set up. These are not reasonable excuses. I will not recommend to anyone.

Dr. Spina spends time educating me every time I have an appt. with him. He has a wonderful bedside manner and he makes me feel very comfortable even though I do not like the dentist. He always explains treatment so I can understand. He has gained my trust and respect for everthing he has done for myself and my family. I will recommend anyone looking for a good /excellent oral surgeon to seek out his services!

I was having pain and discomfort from an old root canal. I was referred to Dr. Spina by my regular dentist. When I first went in, they explained what would happen to fix the problem. It initially sounded somewhat intimidating but the procedure and recovery was much easier than I expected. It went extremely well and I was very pleased. The staff was helpful,polite and patient. I felt my needs were well- taken care of and I would definitely recommend him to others.

Dr. Anthony Spina was very professional and was extremely polite. He treated me to the highest quality that I have ever had from a doctor. His staff was very courteous. I truly would recommend Dr. Anthony Spina to anyone who would need to see an oral & maxillofacial surgeon. Thank you Dr. Spina for taking good care of me.

I have been a patient of Dr. Spina for many years. Not only do I have full trust in him but my experience with his staff has always been top-notch. The office environment is very clean and full of energy. I continue to recommend him to my family and friends!

Dr.Spina and his Staff are top notch! Debbie and Amy at the front are fabulous and willing to work with you to get into a timely slot when you are in pain!TY you Debbie &Amy.Dr. S and his assistants took care of me to the tee!I have panic disorder and of course, I went into panic mode and they were so kind and gently talking to me that I was able to have a crown and tooth removed along with bone replacement with only novacane! How it that possible? Well, Dr. S and his staff MADE it happen.

Dr Spina was highly recommended and I was completely impressed from start to finish with how well my dental issues were handled. I needed to have two teeth extracted and a bone implant put in and Dr Spina did exactly that with a minimal amount of pain. I have no problem recommending Dr Spina and his wonderful staff to anyone who needs to have oral surgery performed.

Dr. Spina was outstanding. Our daughter needed a tooth pulled and the first surgeon we saw was rude and scared her telling her it needed to be done immediately and that it would take an hour or 2. We saw Dr. Spina and our daughter felt comfortable with him immediately. He had excellent bedside manner, put her at ease and did the procedure in less than half an hour. She had no pain and did fantastic. Dr. Spina is amazing! Highly recommended him for any oral surgery. Very professional and skilled.

If you have to go to an oral surgeon, Dr. Spina is the man! I have had two procedures in the last few months and the ease and speed of the procedures were very much appreciated. I would highly recommend him. My husband also had a very positive experience with Dr. Spina.

Dr Spina was amazing with my daughter who needed her wisdom teeth removed. He had an amazing bedside manner and he was extremely knowledgable. He took his time and was very calm and sweet. He answered every question we had. So happy with our experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I have had to have several teeth extracted over the last few years and found Dr. Spina through my dentist. Dr. Spina and his staff have always made me feel comfortable and talked me through the intense anxiety I had so I could have the procedures done. He was able to quickly identify why I was having trouble and then did what was needed to ensure my pain would be eradicated; however he never tried to talk me into unnecessary procedures. His staff called me the day after each procedure to make sure I was doing well and to answer any questions I had. Dr. Spina is a calm and kind oral surgeon that makes a "bad day at the dentist" much better by his skill, compassion and presence. I highly recommend him for any oral surgery needs.

Wife had oral cancer. Went to dr. Spina for console, trusted him to give best information on how to proceed with radiation and care of teeth. He is a very caring man, but we were not given the information about care of teeth, trismus, and the undoing effects of radiation. My wife is still paying for the lack of proper information four years later. We put our trust in you dr. and you let us down.

Dr. Spina was extremely helpful and quick working while keeping me comfortable at all times. I would recommend without hesitation! Dr. Spina support staff was attentive and caring, overall an excellent experience along with follow up support and care.

Dr spina was incredible before and after surgery! Went in with terrible pain from my wisdom teeth, his staff and himself were nothing but fantastic with getting me in within days!!!! Dr Spina made sure to follow up days after the surgery so make sure I was doing ok! Couldn't have asked for a better Doctor!!!

I will never go to Dr. Anthony Spina! Very unhappy with the work he did on me!

Dr. Spina is one of those Doctor's with a calling, and with the help of his dedicated staff, I trust you will be in good hands just like me. Dr. Anthony Spina and his entire staff are exceptionally competent and a very nice group of people. I had an extremely pleasant experience before, during, and after my wisdom tooth extraction procedure thanks to the level of care and attention to detail provided by Anthony and staff. I felt calm and at ease throughout the entire process.

HE WAS EXCELLENT!!

Never been treated so kind in a Dr's Office by the entire Staff and Dr. His confidence was obvious too while he did the work.

he's great! I had so much anxiety getting all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and he made me very comfortable.

I was very nervous going to a new place to get my daughter's wisdom teeth pulled. Dr. Spina's staff was very courteous, knowledgeable and caring. Marie walked me through everything, kept in contact with me and made sure that everything was taken care of before my daughter's scheduled surgery. They saw I was nervous and put me at ease. Both me and my husband were very impressed after meeting Dr. Spina. He was very down to earth, caring, and answered all our questions. He has a great bedside manner. Dr. Spina and his staff took wonderful care of my daughter. He even answered my call very early on a Sunday morning when I had an inquiry on my daughter's recovery.
