I needed a gum graph surgery and Dr. Pick and staff made the process as smooth as possible and answered any and all questions I had. I am so grateful I was able to find Dr. Pick who TRULY CARES about their patients and GENUINELY KIND HEARTED person. My surgery was a success and I was able to heal very quickly. Dr. Pick was even giving me explanations of the whole process in order to ease my fears. If anyone is looking for a doctor for this type of procedure I would highly (1000x) recommend Dr. Pick!!!!

I am so thankful I went to Dr. Pick and his team to take care of my Gum Graft surgery. I was scared with past experiences trying to get my gum fixed and I went there in an emergency visit because I was bleeding at the top of my mouth from where I originally got the surgery. It was a series of unfortunate events, but I am so thankful that Dr. Pick knew how to fix it. My boss and over 5 people I know told me to go to him. He is out of my network but SO worth it because they ARE THE BEST! Thank you Dr. Pick and your team for providing excellent service. You go above and beyond and made me feel comfortable. Funny jokes are included and a great team, full of support. Thank you bunches! Go to Dr. Pick, you are in good hands.

I’ve been going to Dr. Pick’s office a few years now and have had a couple procedures and get regular cleanings there too. This Dr and his staff are superior in every way. I’ve never been made to feel more comfortable and cared for before a procedure. And my cleanings are so thorough. They are truly THE BEST!

Been a loyal patient of Dr. Pick and his staff since 2011. They are truly the best in the business, are great at what they do and have an incredibly welcoming and friendly team atmosphere. Will continue to be a patient as long as I can!

I have to say that after I was told that I was going to need a gum graft by my dentist that all my “dental phobias” came back with the thought of going to a new dentist, having to probably have surgery, the probable pain… etc. I realized immediately after meeting Dr. Pick and his staff that I was in excellent hands(just like my dentist told me I would be) and I could stop all of my worrying.

I’m currently having an implant done by Dr. Pick. His expertise, skill and knowledge are second to none. He has been kind and compassionate during this entire process, as has his wonderful staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Pick and his team for any periodontal/implant procedures!

Being in healthcare myself I have very high standards of what I consider excellent and Dr. Pick and his surgical team (Gosia,Sonja) exceeded my expectations with all aspects of their care starting with their genuine compassion and caring, Dr. Pick’s surgical expertise, the belief in keeping the patient informed before, during and after the surgery, and the amazing follow up care and great outcome. I also witnessed their team work and obvious respect for each other and their patients and while they were very efficient they also somehow found the time to just chat. I can guarantee you that you will never feel like” just another patient “ under Dr. Pick’s care!

The bottom line is that if you need the expertise of Dr. Pick and his team do not hesitate or delay seeing him as you will be in “ Excellent hands” and I can’t say enough about them.
Thank You Dr. Pick, Gosia, Sonja and the entire staff!

I finally found a very educated, professional, highly skilled Periodontist that I can trust to give me the correct advice. I’ve been under periodontal care care for decades and Dr. Pick in detail explained exactly the work I needed done to give me the best results involving my gum surgery. He and his staff are very informative and caring giving one the best dental experience.

Visited Dr. Pick for some dental care and he did a phenomenal job…the experience at his office was very relaxing and before I knew it my procedure was through and felt great the next day…I highly recommend Dr. Pick and his amazing team for any procedures needed…I have moved to Florida and won’t let anyone work on my teeth besides Dr Pick..its worth the 1300 mile ride…

Dr. Pick and his staff are amazing. First class professionals in every way, yet he always finds time to talk music or Corvettes with me. There are probably good people from a technical perspective, but none with the human touch we all want at a time when we are in pain and feeling vulnerable. My only regret is not meeting this team earlier in life. I would have a better smile today!

Before meeting with Dr. Pick I made appointments for 3 implant firms and I was unhappy with all of them. I had a cracked tooth that needed to be pulled and replaced with an implant. My dentist recommended I make another appointment with Dr Pick. Upon visiting his office, I noticed on his wall that he is considered one of the top specialists in implants & periodontics, year after year. Dr Pick and his assistant Gosha made me feel at ease. He examined all of my teeth, including the cracked tooth, and had a plan to fix it. He was the first to see 2 infections that were overlooked by my previous so-called specialists. The procedure was easy & pain free. They made me feel comfortable, and I knew if there were any issues, Dr Pick knows how to correct it and make it right. Dr Pick analyzes the problems and tries to save your teeth, without necessarily extracting them. Other dentists love to pull teeth and do unnecessary procedures. I would highly recommend Dr Pick and his team for a job well done.

Dr Pick and this entire team have set a high bar for superior customer service, high quality standards, professionalism and endless kindness and compassion. I, like many others, hesitated to get my problem evaluated. Dr Pick from the moment we met made me feel genuinely cared for and he repeatedly assured me his goal was to get the problem resolved and to take the proper steps to get it done right. He not only delivered on his promise, he made me a Dr Pick fan for life! During your procedure, Dr Pick takes the time to make sure you are comfortable throughout the entire process. He is very attuned, makes sure you are the priority and gives you the level of feedback during the procedure that you prefer. From the music choice, the positioning in the chair, pain sedation, to the detailed explanation when the procedure is complete. By far the BEST experience I have ever had at a dentist office. You can tell by your pre-procedure consultation that Dr Pick loves and lives for what he does. What blew me away was a follow up personalized video from Dr Pick and his team to check on me the very next day. It was truly thoughtful and showed true concern for my well being. That was not the end. A few days before my follow up appointment, Dr Pick called me personally to check on me, offer his personal contact numbers and answer any questions. Mind blowing! I would recommend Dr Pick and his team to anyone! You can’t go wrong with this practice and you will not regret it. Five stars is not enough!

Five Star period. Have had two implant surgeries. Both were the first completely pain free dental procedures I have ever had. I always thought a little pain was part of the process. Anyhow, super professional staff treat you like royalty. And Dr Pick will give you whatever level of detail you want during your procedure. I chose verbose and enjoyed the play by play. Frequent follow up and 24 hr availability if you are worried. My mother-in law and I are both patients and we could not imagine going any place else for major dental work!

I have been a patient of Dr. Pick for many years. Recently I had a surgical procedure that I had been reluctant to address. After all, who wants a molar extracted before Thanksgiving! Dr. Pick and his surgical team are amazing. Filled with doubt about the necessity for this procedure, he was supportive and considerate of my feelings. Throughout the process Dr. Pick offered guidance, description, and pain mediation in only the manner within the capacity of a very experienced and caring physician. This is reflected in the people he chooses to work in his office and surgery. The climate is one of great compassion and knowledge of the field. Dr. Pick works with exquisite skill, using kindness and a wonderful sense of humor to alleviate anxiety. The day after the procedure, he texted me a video communication featuring himself and his surgical team, regarding my well-being, recovery, cautions for continued care and insistence that I could call 24/7 with any related issues. I’ve saved the video as a reminder of what great follow through look like! It also made me laugh. I do not believe there is a better periodontist. I can recommend Dr. Pick and his team without any reservations.

If you’re looking for a place for oral surgery, dental implants or any type of oral medicine, you can stop searching. You found it. This place does amazing work with state-of-the-art technology and the friendliest team of experts you’ll ever meet in this field. I was referred to Dr. Pick for some gum grafting by my dentist…well that sounded scary! But I’m so glad they suggested this place! The moment I walked in I felt at ease with the whole staff. Everything was explained in the consultation with total professionalism. Gosia and Dr. Pick made me feel very comfortable during my surgery. Dr. Pick has this amazing way to make you feel relaxed, unworried from the beginning to the end-always explaining what’s going on through the whole procedure. I totally recommend Dr. Pick, Gosia and the whole staff for your dental work. A+ !!!

My experience with Dr Pick and his team had been exceptional! I was concerned about needing to have a failed implant (from a different dentist) removed and a new one put in by Dr Pick. The day of the implant I had no pain at all. I never took the pain medicine given. It has been 3 months and I have had no difficulties at all. I have appreciated the professional and personal touch from Gocia and Sonja, Dr Pick’s assistants throughout the process. Thank you All!

This man is simply a genius. Both times that I have required oral surgery, the experience was as smooth as can be. Dr. Pick and his entire staff are not only exceptionally talented, they TRULY care about their patients and the health of their teeth and gums. You are in THE MOST CAPABLE HANDS with Progressive Periodontics. Seriously — I’m thinking of making t-shirts! 🙂 Thank you for your expertise, Dr. Pick, and for always making me feel incredibly comfortable throughout the surgical process! So amazing that you will never want to go anywhere else.

Dr. Pick and team provide a patient experience unlike any other. The level of service and care they provide will put you at ease, no matter how nervous you may be. They truly take every measure to make sure you are comfortable and understand everything along the way. Combine that with Dr. Pick’s extraordinary knowledge and talent, and it is magic. Dr. Pick and his team are so far ahead of the pack, there is nobody even in second place.

Dr. Pick is the best Dentist that I have ever visited for dental services. Dr. Pick and his team sincerely care about their patients and provide outstanding services. I greatly appreciate Dr. Pick and his team taking the time to explain the procedures and their patience to comfort me during my anxious moments as well as their kindness and professionalism. He’s the only Dentist I trust to provide periodontal procedures on me. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Pick and his team and highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Pick and your team for your services.

What Others are Saying About Us:

My experience with Dr. Pick and his staff has been a relationship built upon trust and integrity. From the moment I entered Dr. Pick’s office I felt innately comfortable. Walking into an office where you are unfamiliar with the process can be daunting and concerning. I was put at ease by the multitude of awards and recognitions Dr. Robert Pick has received, as well as the welcoming posture of Annie at the front desk. I was recommended by my longtime friend and dentist Dr. Nick Pisto to schedule a consultation regarding a potential skin graft. Goshia, Dr. Pick’s surgical nurse, was phenomenal leading me through the process of the potential graft. Dr. Pick educated me on his background, bleeds purple for the Northwestern Wildcats, and the many procedures he has performed. My procedure was performed after having a recheck of my gum recession and confirming the necessity of the procedure. The graft was performed with the precision of complete experts. I encountered no pain and was assured continually throughout the procedure. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Pick and his staff. In total, Dr. Pick and his staff are the most professional, thorough, caring, intelligent and ethical group of professionals I have encountered. I highly recommend them to all of my family and friends for their periodontal needs.

Dr. Pick and his entire team have exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived at his office, I was immediately treated with graciousness and respect. My condition was carefully evaluated. Dr. Pick took the time to listen and answer all my questions, then took the extra steps to personally discuss background with my dentist and orthodontist to provide the most thorough and suitable treatment plan. Clear explanation and communication were ongoing every step of the way. This took any fear of unknowns out of the equation. The subsequent surgical procedure of tooth removal with bone and gum grafting was extremely professional, very comfortable, and somehow almost enjoyable. The follow-up care and direct accessibility were just as amazing to help complete a very painless and successful recovery. My entire experience could not have been better! If you are looking for the absolute best, you can rest assured that this is the highest quality professional care you will find anywhere.

I would highly recommend Progressive Periodontist and Dr. Pick and staff for any specialty service for gum disease or implant service. He is so very kind, gentle and thorough I can’t believe it. His staff is everything you expect and more. He explains everything that goes on and fears just melt away.
He is still a professor at Northwestern, co-author of two books, and a really nice guy. I will never, ever go to another periodontist.

My dentist discovered a deep pocket in my gums during a regular cleaning and explained I would need to see a periodontist to have a look – I am so grateful he referred me to Dr. Pick and his team! I was so nervous and to be honest, almost didn’t even make the appointment. However, even from the first interaction on the phone making the appointment I began to relax as they were so kind and caring. After looking at my situation and giving an exam, Dr. Pick took the time to explain everything and I felt so assured I was no longer super nervous. They made sure I always knew what to expect. In this office, you are made to feel truly cared about and treated with kindness and respect at every turn and from every team member. Dr. Pick is professional, ethical and very skilled in what he does. I want to shout from the rooftops to let everyone know how great they are! This is a very special place. Thank you!

I had such a wonderful experience going to Dr. Pick to have crown lengthening done! I was very impressed with the entire team throughout the entire process. They made sure I fully understood everything that was being done and I had 100% confidence that they were going to go about it in the best and right way! I was worried about the gum surgery at first but, Dr. Pick and his team made it so comfortable for me. I am so happy that I had the surgery done. My gums are healing perfectly and I am thrilled with the results! Not only is this team great at what they do but, they are great people too!

Dr. Pick just completed my 4th or 5th surgical procedure. (I’ve lost count, but one was an implant.) This time it was an extraction of a molar that we (they) have been watching for quite awhile. I was in no pain, but Vanessa (the hygienist) noticed some infection. During the extraction an infected cyst was removed without incident. Not only did I feel no pain during the procedure, there was (once again!) no discomfort of any kind in the days after. I simply followed their instructions. Dr. Pick’s entire team is highly skilled and very much concerned with the care and comfort of their patients. Dr. Pick himself is a gentle magician.

Dr. Pick & his Team make you feel like a person/patient, unlike most office’s do these days. If you have to have a perio procedure done, hands down, go here! They make your visit an experience that you won’t get any place else! The TEAM here runs like a FINE MACHINE, everyone knows their job and they do it in a professional way! I HIGHLY recommend Progressive Periodontic

There is not enough stars for this group of professionals, top notch work always. Dr. Bob has helped me tremendously and Vanessa who does my cleanings is so good at her job and my teeth have improved greatly. This is the team to work with if you are looking for quality work. 10+ stars!!!

I have had YEARS of struggling with bad teeth, and as a result, I have had some really bad experiences with dentists. I have had difficult extractions, root canals, crowns, and most recently, teeth breaking under the crowns. I waited almost 5 YEARS to find an oral surgeon who I felt comfortable with to address a needed implant. I visited several oral surgeons / periodontists in this journey. I came to Dr. Pick and Progressive Periodontics & Implants on the basis of a friend’s recommendations. I was NOT disappointed. Dr. Pick and his staff are both consummate professionals and very personable. They addressed my fears and won my trust. The procedure itself was a non-event for me. I have no memories of the procedure and only minimal post op pain and swelling. I even got a video message from MY entire team after my surgery making sure I was doing OK. What a great use of technology to communicate care to your patients!
I have never had such a great experience! I can in full confidence, recommend Dr. Pick and his entire staff, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Pick and his staff are absolutely amazing! I am a dental hygienist and I was once his rep and I can tell you that I would only choose Dr. Pick and his office for my periodontal care. He is a pioneer in the dental industry and truly is looking to do what is best for his patients. I am EXTREMELY particular on how I want my dental work to look and Dr. Pick is a perfectionist in the best way possible. Sonja and Gosia, his assistants, are wonderful! They make you feel right at home and thoroughly go over any after care and answer any questions you may have. I left Dr.Pick’s office thrilled with my final result, no pain and had a wonderful follow up call from him and his staff the very next day to see how I was feeling. As a dental care professional myself, I would only go see Dr. Pick and his staff for my dental work! Keep up the excellent work!!

I was referred to Dr Pick because I had recession of my front 2 lowers. I avoided going for 2 years because of the stories I heard about the procedure. I finally man-ed up and made the consultation. Dr. Pick spent every minute with me that I needed. We first met in his office so he could explain what procedure my dentist referred me for. He asks how much detail you want, which is good for the medically queasy. Then he did his exam, took pictures and again went through his recommendations for the procedure and what to expect after. The procedure itself was painless except for the numbing part, but that’s expected. Dr Pick checks in on your comfort level and how far along he is throughout the process. Follow his instructions for post op pain medication and you’ll be fine. He checked in on me the next day (via videochat!) and made sure I knew I could call or text him at any time with questions. Texting him was great! Dr. Pick’s staff is incredible….so kind and welcoming. Don’t hesitate to make your appointment with Dr. Pick!

10 stars! Dr. Pick and his staff are incredibly kind, professional, caring people. Myself and my son have gotten gum tissue grafts due to gum recession. Each surgery went very smooth. I’ve learned that because Dr Pick is so talented and precise, both procedure and recovery are very smooth. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Pick and his staff. Oral surgery and implants can be painful and put off for years…don’t put it off! Get your procedures done with Dr. Pick. He and his staff really makes it easy!

I rarely ever write a review, but in this case a great Dentist like Dr Pick must to be commented on. I was scared to death of having a broken tooth pulled, let alone an implant done, until I was referred to Dr Pick by my former dentist office. He told me what to expect. He talked to me explaining what he was doing, and by the time he had finished extracting my tooth I was thoroughly relaxed. That had never happened before! Dr Pick has a great sense of humor as well and made me feel comfortable. I must mention his staff. They are great as well. I felt like part of his family! After he did my first implant, I joked with him saying I need to break another tooth. It just so happened I did. Well, since Dr Pick had done my first implant, I have returned to him for 4 more. He is an Excellent Specialist Dentist. I strongly recommend to anyone contemplating an implant, go and have Dr Pick do it for you. You won’t be disappointed!

Having implant surgery is not an easy process. I have never known a surgeon with more expertise as Dr. Pick. I can’t thank Dr. Pick and his staff enough for the tremendous care and compassion I received. It was so much more than I ever expected. All costs and full knowledge of procedures were fully explained. No surprises. There is simply no one better.

Being in the medical field for over 14 years, I have worked with many providers and practice staff. I can say without hesitation that Dr. Pick and his staff are the top of top with their professionalism, knowledge, compassion, and true commitment to do the best for their patients.
I delayed my gum surgery for years because I was nervous and heard how terrible the surgery could be. Dr. Pick and his staff made me feel comfortable about moving forward with a necessary procedure but also performed the surgery with the latest technology and precision that the entire experience was not even close to as challenging as I thought it would be.
I have never written a google review before but feel so strongly that Dr. Pick is in a class of his own that I wanted to share.

Dr. Pick and his staff are absolutely a first-class operation. They could not have been any more pleasant, compassionate, and helpful and truly care about their patients and the quality treatments they perform. I have never experienced a dental or other medical practice with the quality of Dr. Pick’s “chair-side” manner (and his continued follow-up) than what he and his staff provide….truly a great practice with great employees. No matter what your procedure, I am confident Dr. Pick and his staff will make it the most pleasant experience it can be.

Dr. Pick, and his entire staff, are just wonderful people!! Nobody likes going to doctors, especially when it involves your teeth, but there is no need for apprehension about going to see Dr. Pick. I was not officially referred to this practice by another dentist, but my Grandmother was a patient here, and had many implants done. She had such positive experiences with Dr. P that, when I needed a periodontist, there was no question as to who I would see. I, for better or for worse, inherited my grandma’s genes for dental issues! I have had 3 oral surgeries and check-ups every 6 months for maintenance, along with check-ups from my general dentist. I credit Dr. Pick for saving my teeth!! The staff is SO nice and put you at ease. I just can’t say enough positive comments about them all. Thank you, Dr. Pick – you are the best!!

From the moment I met Dr. Pick and his amazing team, I knew I was truly blessed. I found comfort in a place where most people fear to go. Beginning with contacting the office through email, talking on the phone, and leading up to the day I met everyone was a very accommodating feeling. Dr. Pick and his team are very professional, well educated, and strictly patient centered. You don’t find very many offices that treat their patients with respect, integrity, and provide beyond quality care. Dr. Pick and the Progressive Periodontics team goes above and beyond to meet every patient’s needs and educates each patient on every procedure. You won’t second guess yourself when you choose Progressive Periodontics. It’s where you gain confidence!

My dentist recommended that I visit a periodontist to address a fissure behind my bottom lower front teeth that was leading to bone loss. I’m so glad I chose Dr. Pick because my situation turned out to be so much worse. I had over 60% bone loss and an infection on the root of a tooth that would have led to me losing my four front teeth in a matter of months. He is an expert in his craft and not only saved my teeth, but strengthened the area with a large graph of connective tissue. My teeth are more secure and I’m back to eating chicken wings. Thank you Dr. Pick and staff!

Dr. Pick and his team are the best! They provided detailed information about what the procedure would entail and on the day of the surgery they went above and beyond to keep me comfortable.

The best doctor ever. I went through some recommended doctors before visiting Dr. Pick and after visiting my decision to go with Dr. Pick was easy. From the initial appointment to my actual gum grafting surgery to the follow-up, I have to say he was beyond compare. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and made sure I was comfortable and informed. The surgery was performed quicker than anticipated and with a better outcome than expected. Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed. Great team!

My experience with Dr. Pick and his staff is truly some of the best patient care I have experienced. From the first visit, to surgery to follow-up at home and subsequent office visits, the team was as professional, helpful and pleasant as I can remember (and I am including all health care I have received). I do not normally take time out to write reviews, but in this case, it is an absolute pleasure to do so. Thanks Dr. Pick and team!!

I can not say enough about my experience working with Dr. Pick and his ENTIRE staff! I recently had a gum-graft on my front teeth. Everyone took the time to make me feel comfortable, and Dr. Pick kept me informed throughout the entire procedure. I was in NO pain during the graft (something Dr. Pick insists upon), and I had very little discomfort even a day later. Due to Dr. Pick’s outstanding work, I recovered very quickly – it was amazing how fast everything healed. I am very grateful to everyone at Progressive Periodontics!

Dr Pick and his team are the most positive, caring, knowledgeable, kind and gentle health care providers I have ever encountered! When I was told several years ago that I needed gum surgery for my receding gums, I thought I’d put it off as long as possible. Please don’t do what I did! The recession only gets worse and you can easily lose your teeth. Thank goodness my current dentist referred me to Dr Pick! I knew I was in excellent hands as soon as I met him and his team. On the day of surgery, I came in feeling calm, and confident that I would be well cared for. My surgery went amazingly well! It was pain free, thanks to Dr Pick’s delivery of local anesthesia. The recovery was so much better than I ever expected (and 100 times better than others had described to me)! Dr Pick’s follow-up care is more than outstanding. He called to check on me the evening of my surgery; he also re-iterated that I should call him anytime, day or night with any questions. The next morning, Dr Pick and his incredible assistants sent me a video text message. I cannot express how well cared for I felt from the first time I met Dr Pick and his team through follow-up care. If you need periodontal or dental implant work, don’t hesitate to see Dr Pick and his team. They are the very best!

Dr. Pick and his staff have been indescribably “perfect” in taking care of my surgically necessary dental needs. I was in a severe bicycle accident and lost a few teeth. Not only was Dr. pick comforting, he explained everything that needed to be done to make my smile ad health “whole” again. Dr. Pick is very passionate, and I believe a perfectionist about his work. My entire experience was so very positive that I would absolutely recommend Dr. Pick and his comforting staff to anyone who needed periodontal work.

The best doctor ever. I went through some recommended doctors before visiting Dr. Pick and after visiting my decision to go with Dr. Pick was easy. From the initial appointment to my actual gum grafting surgery to the follow-up, I have to say he was beyond compare. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and made sure I was comfortable and informed. The surgery was performed quicker than anticipated and with a better outcome than expected. Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed. Great team!

My experience with Dr. Pick and his staff is truly some of the best patient care I have experienced. From the first visit, to surgery to follow-up at home and subsequent office visits, the team was as professional, helpful and pleasant as I can remember (and I am including all health care I have received). I do not normally take time out to write reviews, but in this case, it is an absolute pleasure to do so. Thanks Dr. Pick and team!!

Dr. Pick and his staff at Progressive Periodontics have mastered the formula for perfection!!!! They deliver the HIGHEST standard of care to each and every patient, plus Dr. Pick’s passion for his field of dentistry is readily apparent. From the very first telephone encounter to the final follow-up appointment, their level of commitment is simply astounding. For the patients who fear dental procedures, please know Dr. Pick delivers on his promise for a painless procedure! A++ for this practice.

Dr. Pick and his staff are awesome. He really puts his patient’s needs front and center and his work is amazing. He has done four extractions and two implants for me and I am awaiting a third implant. I would not go anywhere else. I have had minimal pain following the procedure and little anxiety before and during the procedures. In fact, if I need more work done and no longer live in the area I would pay to fly back and have him do it because I really don’t think I will find anyone better.

As a general dentist I have been referring patients for years to doctor Pick and I had been impressed by his professionalism, skill, expertise and detailed reports. So, when I needed a periodontist myself he was my first and only choice. I cannot praise enough his staff, also (I had the pleasure to personally meet Sonya, Gosia and Annie). Dr. Pick and his office set the standard for excellence. Thank you so much, Dr. Pick!

Recently, Dr. Pick and his colleagues extracted my cracked first molar. It took about an hour an it was painless and stress-free. Dr. Pick and his assistants made me feel very comfortable. Afterwards, Dr. Pick and his assistant explained exactly what happened during the procedure and the post-operation care that would be needed. He prescribed two medications nod Dr. Pick thoroughly discussed with me the reason for each medication. The evening of my procedure, Dr. Pick’s office called me to inquire about my recovery. He also stated that I could call anytime and he would be available. I would highly recommend Dr. Pick and his staff!! I COULD NOT IMAGINE HAVING ANY OTHER ORAL SURGEON THAN DR. PICK PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE. They really have set the bar VERY VERY HIGH!!!

Dr Pick’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail was beyond my every expectation, as are his topnotch, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. I would overwhelmingly recommend Dr. Pick as one of the very best periodontists in the country, and feel very fortunate to have him in the Aurora-Naperville area. If you are looking for the best periodontist around, look no further, and go to Dr. Pick, you will be glad you did!

I’ve lived in many different cities, and Dr. Pick is absolutely the best doctor I’ve had in every way. I had a few implants and gum graft performed by him, and everything turned out to be perfect. I had a very fast recovery after each procedure with very little pain. and I’ve never had any problems after each surgery. He was really great at explaining the whole procedure and made me very comfortable through the entire experience.
Not only Dr. Pick, staff and practice is state of the art, he really cares about each of his patients and always takes time to listen to them. Everyone in the office is extremely professional and nice, and the quality of care at Progressive Periodontics is phenomenal. I’m so thankful for the best care received by Dr. Pick and his staff!

Dr. Pick and his entire team has been taking care of me for years. I have severe TMJ disease. Dr. Pick and the hygienist Heather are so gentle and caring. They take their time to make sure I don’t have any discomfort. Dr. Pick also did an implant for me. I must say he is the best! He provides the highest quality of service, uses the most current techniques and has the most up-to date equipment. I have the highest confidence that he always provides the best care.

I recently had a Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft by Dr. Pick. I have to say, he is hands-down the most knowledgeable and kind doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. He was kind and within minutes of talking to him, I could see that he was clearly an subject matter expert in his field. He sat with me and explained the procedure, and why I needed it, and spent as long with me as I needed to make me feel comfortable about the procedure. I couldn’t imagine going to anyone else. I really felt like he cared about my recovery, and was available at all hours of the day in case I needed to call with a question. His expertise in this field was even clearer to me when I went through my recovery, as I experienced almost non-existent pain and swelling from the procedure. I accredit that to his excellent work in performing the surgery and his knowledge base on the subject. His staff was warm and incredibly welcoming, and his office was clean and very inviting as well. I would recommend Dr. Pick to my closest family and friends, as I have never had a better experience! Thank you Dr. Pick for saving my molars with the Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft. I am so grateful!

I had a gum graft surgery done on my front bottom tooth by Dr. Pick in March 2015. I wish all of my dental experiences would exceed my expectations like this one did. Dr. Pick and his staff are amazing. Everyone is extremely kind, friendly and professional. Annie and Gosia – I can’t thank you enough for your compassionate demeanor. Dr. Pick – your expertise and your approach to the patient are unbeatable. Most importantly, the outcome of my procedure is superb. I highly recommend Progressive Periodontics for all of your periodontal needs!

I am a dental hygienist working in the Aurora area for 27 years. The dentists I work for have referred their patients to Dr. Pick for years. I have seen his work over & over again and have always been so impressed with the outcome. When it came time for my daughter to need a periodontist, after ortho removal, for a gingival re-contour on her front tooth, I knew exactly where to take her! He is a perfectionist! Dr. Pick is very kind & compassionate. He works slowly, precisely & explains exactly what his treatment will entail. The outcome of her procedure was amazing, boosting her self esteem! She then needed a second procedure, 2 years later on another area where the ligaments around a tooth were too tight, causing it to rotate out of place. Another amazing job done by Dr. Pick, painless & perfect! I highly recommend Dr. Pick & his wonderful staff to help you if you ever need a periodontal specialist. Do not hesitate, call immediately, they are FANTASTIC!!!

I wanted to share a unique experience I received from Dr. Robert Pick’s staff on March 24th. I know what you’re thinking, he utilized the word “Unique” for a Dental/Periodontist office.
I was extremely impressed with the knowledge and professionalism provided by their Dental Hygienist named Cara. She walked me through every step of the deep cleaning process, even to the point of announcing the depths of the gum tissue on each tooth. She made my visit educational and more importantly very comfortable!
Many individuals dread going to a dental or doctor appointment and many times extraordinary efforts go unnoticed and are just brushed under the rug (No Pun Intended).
We all interact with many people on a daily basis and most people’s names go unforgotten, but the good ones are always remembered…Thanks Cara!
Progressive Periodontics vision statement says it all “deliver the highest quality standards of periodontal, oral medicine and implant care to our patients“.

Since 1995, Dr. Pick and his team have always been in high regard with me. I wouldn’t think of seeing anyone else. His expertise and manner are 2nd to none. Annie is the best… always the first to greet you and the last to say see you next time. Nothing but pleasantness and professionalism from everyone.

Dear Dr. Pick and staff,
Thank you very much for your kindness, patience and genuine concern. While I would not wish extracting teeth (on most people.) LOL If you needed to have it done, I would send them here without hesitation. I was surprised to have a completely pain free experience. And I appreciate the phone calls to check my progress. Have a blessed Holiday!

Dear Dr. Pick,
Just a note to thank you for the fine service you recently provided me during the periodontal procedure performed on my tooth. You were highly recommended and met all of my expectations. Beforehand, you thoroughly explained exactly what you were going to do and what to expect. I must say I had no ill effects afterwards and the area healed beautifully. It was a pleasure to meet you, and if I require any future work of this nature, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact you, or recommend you to others. Sincerely, Marilynn W.

Hi Dr. Pick,
Thank you VERY much for your help. I am really happy to be able to consult with you on these difficult cases I have, as I value your opinion above everyone else. I will get going with the short implants case and order 8mm long fixtures. I have placed them in the past, I am just not a big fan of anything shorter than 10mm and I agree with you. BTW, my mom is completing her restorative implant treatment with Dr. S. I placed 3 implants in LR area, one 10 years ago and two 4 months ago, and they are all parallel to each other. Dr. S gave me a big “kudos”, so I said I had a great teacher to thank – YOU!!! I hope all is well. As you know, although you taught part time with us in the post graduate clinic, your efforts, teaching and lecture style, experience, materials, slides, cases and your surgical skill were the best of all the faculty we had!! Thank you again and all my best, Carrie

Hi Dr. Pick,
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I took this ad out in the paper for all to see!
I have had 7 years of experience as the Lead Surgical Assistant for a highly thought of Periodontist. Not only has he taught me everything I know, but he was always sending us to continuing education classes so we could learn even more. The best experience of my life was getting the opportunity to work for Dr. Robert Pick. He is hands down the best teacher I’ve ever known, he believes in you and makes you believe that you can do anything. I never thought I could learn as much as I did working for him. He cares for and goes out of his way for all of his employees all of the time. And the patients, let’s just say they LOVED their Dr. Pick. He has a way with his patients that no matter how nervous someone is for surgery, as soon as Dr. Pick walks in the room, all the nervousness seems to float away. And his patients are Number 1 to him ALL the time! Because of Dr. Pick I have learned not only how to be the best Surgical Assistant in the world, but I’ve also learned many life lessons that will stay with me forever. I can never say thank you enough Dr. Pick for all you’ve taught me, and ALL that you’ve done for me! I miss you. Stacy V.

We just wanted to thank you for all of your devotion and care you took with our daughter Amanda. We also want to thank you so very much for fighting for us with our insurance company. We just wanted to let you know that we ended up going through Gary’s company’s HR and trying to fight for payment. We are happy to let you know that our insurance company is finally agreeing to help us with a partial payment for all of the wonderful work you did on Amanda’s mouth. Thank you again for everything! Gary, Sandy & Amanda Z.

Hi Dr. Pick!
Thank you so much for taking the time to email me and send me the photos!! You are truly an amazing doctor that really cares… you emailed me on your own time on a Friday night! A caring doctor with excellent personality AND amazing top notch surgery skills is almost impossible to find… I am so thankful that Dr. C recommended you to me! The photos are truly amazing. I am so lucky and grateful that my teeth look so much better and are so healthy now, thanks to you!!! You are truly above and beyond with your patient care. I really appreciated your fun jokes and fun chatter throughout my surgery. I was able to relax and even have “fun” as I learned what interesting things you were doing during the surgery! I also liked how you said we are this % done with this side and almost done with this part, etc. I felt that the surgery was fast and I felt 110+% confident in you during the whole thing! I also thank you so much for taking your own time after work to call me on the night of surgery to see how I was doing. I didn’t get to talk to you, but the fact that you called to check on made me feel good…you really do care about your patients! Every appointment exceeded my expectations as you were patient and answered all of my questions and explained everything so well. I am so grateful that I had this procedure done and I am honored that I had it done by you! If I EVER need any dental work again in the future I am making a beeline to you! 🙂 Thanks again for making my smile so happy!!! 🙂 Have a wonderful week! Please share this email and my review with your patients! Sincerely, Julia W.
