Fantastic experience: Well Hello Pekin and surrounding areas this is my Third visit to Midwest Dental in Pekin on court street it is in the middle between two other small town businesses and let me tell you the new dentist in town Dr Papazanis AMAZING and he was right on point with a tooth that was a well my kind of tooth PROBLEM CHILD but he was able to adjust times and get my tooth saved and repaired so what a Job also he was assisted by Kodak and Vicki, Dakota and Joslyn it was once again another AMAZING VISIT and I could not have had a better experience at the Dentist than I have ever had and trust me my mouth has been a challenge for many of a Dentist but this staff and the Two Doctors blow every one else out of the water. I have never been treated with such kindness and caring and respect ever in my life and it feels great to be respected and treated like a person and not just a patient. SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO GO if you know me I would not say use this place if it was not a GREAT PLACE TO GO Thank you for reading this whole post. FYI I GIVE THEM ALL 10ns and not just for there looks but for everything else they do ♥️♥️♥️

Fantastic experience: This place has the kindest staff I have ever met in my life and I am 61. So my mouth has been a challenge. I really feared the dentist BUT HUDGE WORD. The staff is so nice and supportive and understanding and when you first enter the establishment you will meet Dakota and Vioda ok there are to many to list but I will tell you if you want to see some of the most beautiful women in the Dental field go here and not that I judge but some of the Male staff aren’t to shabby either if you ladies need some O candy while getting your teeth worked on. I will recommend this establishment to all my friends and family

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Midwest Dental is outstanding! From checking in to checking out, every single person you come in contact with is friendly and professional. Dr Jerry is very personable, thorough and fast. These are friends and neighbors and I couldn't be happier than going to people I know and trust! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: First time there and it was a great experience. Everyone was friendly and took time to explain the process. Offered a treatment plan and set up my next cleaning. Have to get a crown done, so we will have more to talk about in the near future

Fantastic experience: They got me right in and made me feel comfortable. The dentist and the staff were all friendly and kind.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Friendly people. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Dr. Santana and Mya are fantastic! They are patient and personable. They work together well to make the visit relaxing, yet fun!

Fantastic experience: Went for my first time today and this office is by far the best in the business and it's not even close. I have huge anxiety with the dentist and they put me at ease. Pulled a wisdom tooth and I felt nothing. Dr. Latchinian and Koda are phenomenal and so is Joslyn at the front desk. Thank you guys so much for your excellent service and for taking such good care of this big baby!!!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is very nice and makes sure you are ok through all the process.

Fantastic experience: Awesome support staff, excellent check in . Dental cleaning staff professional and attentive to your issues - concerns .

Fantastic experience: Becky was pleasant and professional. I appreciated her and another hygienist's understanding towards me while taking my dental X-rays. I highly appreciated the calm music while waiting in the waiting room. Becky was fine with me asking for no music with while she cleaned my teeth. Shout out to the girls at the front desk who actually called me with a cancellation. I moved up from July to January!!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend them for your dental needs.

Negative experience: This is the 2nd bite guard I have ordered. The first one was over a year ago and they forgot to place the order so it was actually four weeks before I got it. Recently, I ordered another one because I misplaced mine They said that it would be an in two weeks, but the dentist they had was filling in and I would have to wait 4 weeks. Last week they canceled my appointment because it wasn’t in yet I said are you sure it’s been ordered? This week it is still not in so we’re going on six weeks. It won’t be until later this week. This is ridiculous! I have no problem with my hygienist she’s wonderful, but I would never order anything else from them because for some reason, nobody knows how to push it through even when you question it. This is no way to take care of a patient who is concerned about their teeth.

Fantastic experience: Overall great experience from receptionist to hygienist were. Dr Litchinian was also kind and xpland well.

Fantastic experience: I had the best care by Dr. Jerry and his assistant Koda. I'm getting fitted for a new set of dentures. They are doing a great job so far. I've only had my first appointment. I'm so looking forward to getting them when they are ready. Thank you again Koda and Dr. Jerry. You are the best. December 8 2025. I got my dentures. They fit great and feel very comfortable. Thank you again Dr. Jerry.

Fantastic experience: I had a very relaxing experience at this dentist appointment and am looking forward to getting back for the actual work I need done to my teeth

Fantastic experience: Awesome, Dr Jerry and his assistant Hannah are the absolute best, and Dr Jerry is the best Dentist ever! I recommend everyone who needs a dentist, to go see them, such an amazing staff ❤️

Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly staff. They worked together to make my dental procedure as comfortable as possible.

Fantastic experience: Becky did a great job cleaning my teeth. I would recommend Midwest dental to anyone. The dentist was very good, also.

Negative experience: Everything was good but you can’t use another dentist iat Midwest if it is not within our network and that is what u did with my husband Tim Althiser and we had to pay 107.00 of are own money. Not much I agree but we pay for our insurance and we expect proper service and we did not get it.

Fantastic experience: Very pleased with my service.The lady that did my exrays was just phenomenal.She got me a blanket because I was cold and made my day a lot brighter and more at ease.The ones also at the front desk was very helpful and answered all my questions.I was a little hesitant at first because they had to change my appointment but all worked out.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the BEST dentist I have been too & I have been to a few in my 32 years! I apologize, I do not remember the Doctors name..BUT, he was AMAZING! Made sure I was comfortable. Knew I was sensitive to epinephrine & made sure to slowly give it to me. Thank you for that! It's been about 7 hours since this stubborn tooth was pulled. There is some swelling in my jaw area, but.. the pain, there's literally almost none! That is how you know he's good at what he does! Not only was he attentive, he was friendly, held conversation & my pain is almost non existent! Now for the staff... ALL OF YOU & I mean from the front desk to the ladies in the back... THANK YOU! Do you know how much of a breath of fresh air it is...to have actual nice & friendly staff! You all actually talk & know how to smile & laugh! It's wonderful! You're understanding & also great at explaining insurance (new insurance for me!) Thank you all! I will HIGHLY recommend you guys to others & I do have future appointments, so will be seeing you all again! I will continue to use this office as my regular Dentist office! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Dr .Jerry and his staff @ Midwest Dental is amazing!! Just so kind and nice!

Fantastic experience: Always a great, enjoyable experience. Fast and friendly. Professional and patient with my son who has special needs.

Fantastic experience: The most important thing a medical facility can offer you is trust; I have come to trust Dr. Latchinian, on his knowledgeability and his straight-forwardness. This Dr. gives his patients the best possible direction, for their own interests. I would also like to praise the assistant Rachel - she too shows great patience with all sorts of patients, and also shows great skill in what she does. Finally, the facility itself is modern, well stocked and well kept.

Fantastic experience: Everybody was Courteous and thoughtful throughout my whole experience, and i very well pleased with the staff

Fantastic experience: Everyone from the reception area on back to the treatment areas are so professional. Everyone is just so nice and everyone is always smiling. It a very calming atmosphere to walk into for those of us who tend to get anxious when going to the dentist! And Dakota is the best!

Fantastic experience: The staff and Dentist were very knowledgeable and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable.. I was petrified to go to the dentist but their calm demeanor made me calm down I would highly recommend this office for your dental needs….Midwest Dental in Pekin.

Fantastic experience: Best dental practice around!!! Dr. Jerry & the whole team are SuperStars. I promise you won't find another team this good.

Fantastic experience: I had a lot of work done two crowns and a cavity. I had absolutely no pain before the work during the work or after the work was completed. My temporary crowns are working great and I have no fear Of the dentist anymore

Fantastic experience: Carla is amazing!! Entire staff is terrific as well, great office! Highly recommend Midwest Dental in Pekin IL.

Fantastic experience: Midwest Dental Dr Jerry & Koda were very helpful with questions I had and continuously checked on me during the procedure. I would highly recommend. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: It was my initial visit and I found receptionist and staff to be friendly and kind. I was seen in a timely fashion and all procedures were explained to me thoroughly. I was provided with explanations of cost that included insurance coverage and out of pocket costs. I wish insurance paid more but I am pleased with the team and highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Always well taken care of at Midwest dental! Sarah, my hygienist is always amazing!

Fantastic experience: Staff was knowledgeable and kind . Dentist was friendly and new how to correct my issue

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. I hadn’t had a filling in years so I was a little nervous but Dr. LaChinisn and Koda were great! It was a painless experience.

Fantastic experience: First time patient. Staff is very nice and informative! They also have great taste in music for patients to listen to

Fantastic experience: I love my dental hygenist Sarah. She remembers things we talked about at my last cleaning 6 months ago, and she always tells me what she is about to start doing while she is cleaning. I don't get nervous at the dentist, but a lot of people do, and even I appreciate that she keeps me informed of what she's doing. She's also awesome at deciphering what I'm saying to her while she's working

Fantastic experience: Carla is the best dental hygienist out there—hands down! She takes care of me and my family with such genuine kindness, always remembering the little things we’ve talked about in the past. It never feels like we’re just another patient or a number—Carla makes it feel like we’re friends, even family. Thank you, Carla, for everything you do. You are truly amazing, a total rockstar, and I honestly don’t know what Midwest Dental would do without a hygienist like you!

Fantastic experience: Carla is still the absolute best hygienist in the game. She is friendly, gentle, and somehow makes a dental cleaning feel like hanging out with a friend. Now, yes… she’s still a St. Louis Blues fan (nobody’s perfect), but I’m working on forgiving her for that. I mean, as a loyal Blackhawks fan, it’s basically my civic duty to give her grief about it. Still, even if she roots for the wrong team, she wins every time when it comes to patient care. The rest of the Midwest Dental crew is great too… but let’s be honest, Carla’s the MVP. Go Blackhawks! (Sorry, Carla.)

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I always look forward to my cleanings here! Sarah is gentle, thorough, and makes the whole experience comfortable. She explains everything clearly and truly cares about my oral health. My teeth always feel amazing afterward, and I appreciate her professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Karla for over 15 years and she is very good and professional. Dr recently talked me into a nouthguard that I didn't think I needed but he was very right and I have had a lot of improvement as a result

Fantastic experience: Midwest Dental has been my home for all my dental needs for many years! Sarah, my hygienist, and Dr Jerry are top notch. Even the employees behind the front desk greet you with warmth and caring! They all listen to my needs with understanding and care. Recently, had a procedure done by Dr Jerry and he kept me abreast during the procedure as to what was happening. I would highly recommend this dental practice!

Fantastic experience: Our Dental Assistant Sarah was amazing! As well as Dr. Jeff!! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I have never even almost had a bad experience here. I hum along to all the good tunes while Dr. Jerry sings them. Then I’m walking to my car all confused, like umm….. did I… just have fun at the dentist??? Who am I? Love this place! Love me some Mya too.

Fantastic experience: Rachael is awesome!! Dr. Jerry is #1 in my book. Had a great experience for my extraction. Thanks !

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here a very very long time. The office is nice and my hygienist Carla is the absolute best - we always have such great chats!

Fantastic experience: I had to have a crown removed and a cavity filled. I now have a temporary crown and will get the new one in two weeks. Dr Latchinian and his assistant Mia did a great job. They worked well together.

Fantastic experience: They were really nice! I would recommend them to anyone! Dr.Latchinan and Mya thank you!

Fantastic experience: Had two fillings done this week. Both went quickly and I had excellent service. Both the dentist and the assistant were very good. Koda (I’m terrible with names - the wonderful lady with a round face and glasses - I hope that was her name!) was super nice and helpful and was very kind to my children who had to tag along to the appointment. Thank you all! Love this dentist office.

Fantastic experience: Midwest dental is the best place to go for dental work. Dakota and Joslyn are two of the best receptionist ever. They do the best work, so friendly and the know their jobs in close and out. Thanks you two Debbie Snyder

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic experience! All the staff was phenomenal.

Fantastic experience: Great place to go to get all of your dental needs done. Dr Jerry is a great doctor.

Fantastic experience: I broke one of my front teeth with a crown in the late afternoon. They took me in right away and Dr. Jerry with his assistant Mya gave me a temporary fix to last until I could get in for an implant. Everyone stayed late (including the office gal) making sure my tooth was repaired and my implant appointment was set. These folks at Midwest Dental are outstanding!

Fantastic experience: The staff was very detailed and explained everything. My clinical experience was great and I felt very comfortable. I would highly recommend this practice.

Fantastic experience: This is a great dental office. Carla does a great job and is always very pleasant. Dr. Jerry and the staff are the best.
