I’d like to take a minute to give thanks and appreciation to the Doctors and staff at Aspen Dental Northlake. I went in not know the direction I was going with my mouth. Starting from the front desk, X-ray tech all of the way back to the examination room with Dr. Buddendeck who examined me the staff each one that came in contact with was so polite and attentive. Making sure that all of my concerns were addressed and the ones that I had never thought of. I decided to have surgery and came back two days later the atmosphere didn’t disappoint it was the same as previous visit. I met one of the most amazing people in the medical field that I’ve ever known. This would be Dr. Chisholm Chukwu. He and his staff was on top of everything so knowledgeable and took sure care and concern as to my wellbeing throughout the surgery and afterwards. I’ve never had any doctor to call or text me to see how I was doing and feeling after my visits. The surgery was extensive and one that even though it’s only been a few days has made a gigantic difference in my life. He took care of a excessive bone issue that I’ve had all of my life and I’m so grateful and thankful to him for it. It was done with care and thoughtfulness the entire way through. Thank you to the entire staff at Aspen Dental Northlake never stop what you’re doing. It’s changing lives. Brenda L.
