Joanie Tarsitano, DDS

We love Dr. Tarsitano. We went to 2 other dentists in the loop before we found her on Unilocal.She also has Saturday clinic which is super convenient for those who live in the loop. Dr is very friendly and honest and has a nice view of Lake Michigan and millenium park while you get your teeth cleaned and listen to music of your choice. We wish we could take her with us as we have moved out of state. We really enjoyed our couple years with her while we lived in Chicago.

She is probably the best dentist I have ever went to. She has a great staff and she does very good work. The only thing I dread is she is so talkative! I wish I could be put to sleep for every service. Her topics of conversation are vast & she is quite opinionated but I am too so it is no big deal. Talking too much doesn’t warrant the reduction in a rating because it doesn’t effect the dental work. She is truly a «chatty cathy!»

Absolutely love Dr. Tarsitano. I am usually a terrible patient. still am actually, hate those dental syringes! But Dr Tarsitano puts me at ease and talks me through the procedures. I’ve come in for a cleanings and fillings before and can confidently say that I have found my dentist!

Dr Tarsitano is a great dentist who is funny and interesting to talk to!
Dental work makes me nervous, but the office is relaxed and so is the doc.

Joani makes going to the dentist fun. She is personable, funny, honest and great at what she does. She has been my dentist for many years and I would go to nobody else! I highly recommend her.

I’m one of those people that used to dread going to the dentist. I’d go, get whatever I absolutely needed to get done done… then not go back again for awhile (and go to a new one b/​c I didn’t like the last one).
Not anymore! Dr. Tarsitano is absolutely great. She makes you want to continue to go the dentist regularly.
For me, it’s more of a trip to relax, have a good conversation, listen to some great music, and in the summer time, check out the festivals across the street.
From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a smile and friendly voice. You’re immediately recognized and they remember you (how was your vacation? etc)
Once you sit down with Dr. Tarsitano, she hands you a huge book filled with CDs to choose from (ever been to karaōke? I think her music selection might have those huge books beat!)
Then, she sparks up a conversation, cleans your teeth (yes, she does everything herself), does your check up (or whatever you need done), and you’re finished.
I highly recommend Dr. Tarsitano for everyone, those that have no qualms about the dentist as well as those that fear them more than anything.

Joanie is easily the best dentist I’ve ever had. All the other reviews have it pretty well covered. She’s very laid back, but excellent at her job. Huge playlist of CD’s to choose from so a visit to the dentist isn’t torture. She’s very friendly, cool, and fun to actually have a normal conversation with. You don’t feel like you’re just a patient and a source of income for her.
I had a ridiculous amount of tartar that she cleaned away and said she enjoyed doing. She said she understood if that frightened me. It’s cool to see someone who loves their job do it. This will be my dentist of choice for as long as I live in Chicago.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Tarsitano since I came to Chicago and had nothing but excellent experiences with her. She lets you pick the music — how much better can it get? (Has an awesome catalog by the way.) She never pushes anything I don’t need on me, she lets me know what options are available, she is as gentle as any dentist I’ve ever had, and I’ve never left here in pain despite walking in with it at times.
She’s cool… she’s gonna talk to you and treat you like a human, not a barcoded insurance form.

Dr. Tarsitano is the best. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a down to earth and overall great dentist. She is like an artist when it comes to pulling teeth. I’ve had 3 fillings this year and have yet to have pain. You get to choose your own music while being services and the view of millenium park is to die for. She is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to. Highly recommend. I’ve referred several people to her and they love her just the same.

Dr. Tarsitano is great! I’ve been going to her for the last 4 – 5 years and I am very pleased.
Like the other reviewer said, she is really funny which puts you at ease and you tend to forget that you’re at the dentist. She’s also very honest. I’ve wanted to whiten my teeth for several years and every time I came in for a 6 month check up, I’d ask her about it. She’d explain how the kit worked but tell me that I didn’t really need it. And she never pushed or pressured me into buying the kit. I did eventually buy it from her.
