My 7 year old and I saw Lori for our cleaning. She always does a fantastic job and is awesome. She is very patient with my child. We love going to her and will continue to do so as long as we can.

As we come to the close of 2020, many of us reflect on the blessings we have received during this year. How grateful I am that I can cite my experience with Dr. Donovan, dental assistant Pat, front office Kelly & Anne, Tru Family Dental as among my blessings! From my very first visit at the office, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable both by the friendly competence of the staff and the pleasant environment of the offiice itself. Dr. Donovan inspires the utmost confidence by his wealth of knowledge, skill, and professionalism. Kudos and the highest recommendation to Dr. Donovan and everyone at Tru Family Dental!read more

I've been to this dentist office twice now & i highly recommend it! Staff is SOOOO friendly & fun. Dentists are awesome! I absolutely HATE that shot but they didn't hurt me at all. Both times i chose to have the tooth pulled. Other dentists were rough & aggressive. Not these guys...piece of cake! I DEFINITELY plan on going back for all my dental needs. I absolutely love them!read more

I have been bringing my family to Tru Dental since 1999. We are pleased with the work that has been done over the years. Very inviting and a sense of family is felt from the moment you walk through the doors. Being a nurse, it is comforting to see and feel the care and concern from all the staff. The chair side manor is impeccable. I love Tru Dental, formally known as "Smileworld". They definitely hold up to their name....Family!read more

I've been a patient here since I moved to the area one year ago. They have taken care of me from day one. Their staff is very kind, professional, and knowledgeable. They think of their customers and what is best for them, not their pockets. Lori is always assisting me at this office, and she always does a spectacular job. She is very kind and makes the experience pleasant. I'm very fortunate to have found this office in Joliet, near my office.read more

My daughter recommended that I come here to have my broken bridge fixed after my former dental office had done a poor job of installing it less than a year before and refused to fix it. At Tru Family Dental everyone was professional and supportive. They fixed it right away and were very helpful with the payment options. Thank you, Tru Family Dental!read more

I have been going to Tru Family Dental Joliet for many years. The care that I have always gotten from Dr Donovan and Pat his assistant have been awesome. Dr Donovan always makes sure I am comfortable and explains everything to me. I’ve had many procedures there and I am always pain-free during it and afterwords my pain is very minimal. I feel like I have found the best dentist and I’m so comfortable there and trust Dr. D. When you walk in the door the staff is extremely friendly. They make you feel like they have known you forever. I will never go anywhere else!read more

Rita Torrez. At 44yrs old I had to face the horror of having a molar extracted. First tooth I've ever had pulled. Dr. Shah and his team did a phenomenal job with keeping me calm and getting it out fast and painlessly! They are so professional and the office is very clean. They work very well with you to keep costs at a minimum and explain everything very clearly. I will be taking my entire family here forever!read more

I am a new patient here and from the time I made the phone call to seek services to the minute I walked in the door everyone has been exceptional. Kelly at the front desk, Pat the dental assistant and Dr Shah have all been kind. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the dentist and my last few experiences at other facilities haven’t been stellar by any means and has been pretty awful to be honest. Everyone here has regained my confidence and has put my anxiety to ease about going to the dentist. Everything was explained to me throughout the procedure and I even got a follow up call the next day to see how I was doing. I could have picked any facility to go to but I’m glad I chose Tru Family Dental. I chose this facility based on the reviews and have not been disappointed.read more

I am a new patient and have had a great experience so far. The front desk staff helped me schedule a same day appointment for my first cleaning and were very understanding and flexible when I’ve had to reschedule follow-up appointments. The dental hygienist and dentist were friendly and professional and answered my questions thoroughly. I hadn’t seen a dentist in some time and was a bit shy about coming in after so long, but they were nonjudgmental and supportive.read more
