Steven Shust, DDS

Dr. Shust is a sensitive, caring dentist. I forgo my employers dental insurance because Shust is worth every penny. Ironically, his charges are reasonable and he won’t steer you toward unnecessary dental work. He is honest, skilled and sensitive. My husband, the son of a dentist himself, will not go anywhere else. Class act.

Dr. Shust, I am sorry it took me so long to write a review.
Shust, as I affectionately call him, was referred to me by a coworker in 2001, and I have been going every since. Even got my step-​dad, a true southsider and neighborhood man, and my mom, who hates dentist, to visit (my dad more often than my mom).
Anywho, an amazing dentist… I agree with Ann, the first poster, 100%

Dr. Shust is a top-​notch dentist, and has the friendliest staff of any medical professional I have ever used.

Truly the most amazing dentist a family could ask for. In fact, I’m scared to write this review because everyone in the Chicago or north suburban area (or perhaps in the world) should be using Dr. Shust. He’s honest and explains his thought process before starting any procedure. He’s a straight shooter and has never tried to get me to do anything unnecessary, he actually avoids those types of situations. He has two locations one in Lake Bluff and the other by Millennium park. I wish there were more Dr. Shust’s in the world… everyone would be a lot more healthy!

I am a HUGE fan of Dr. Shust as well, and agree with all of of my fellow patients with their great reviews. He is, as all say: gentle, caring and a true partner with you, the patient, in all procedures you can talk about and agree upon. I lived in California for around 8 years and there were so many dentists there I always got a second opinion on all the expensive work they proposed. I moved to Dr. Shust in Chicago after my dentist at that time did some extractions on me that surprised and angered me, it was not a collaberative effort in any way. I just went to see Dr. Shust today and I am so happy with him and his hard work, he is truly the best dentist I have ever gone to; he has my liking and also my respect. And Kate is the very best front desk and assistant as well too, I respect and like her very much too.

I can’t believe no one has reviewed Dr. Shust! He’s the greatest. I know no one likes to go to the dentist, but with Dr. Shust, I honestly don’t mind it. He’s quick and gentle enough, and he doesn’t try to make you feel bad about only flossing a couple times a week.
Also, my husband had gone to one of those fancy dental spas with DVD players in the seats. (Not necessary at Dr. Shust’s — he has killer views of Millennium Park) He loved it, but was sad that he supposedly needed 4 fillings, and it was going to cost over $ 1000. I had him go to Shustie to see if he would do it for less. Dr. Shust found only two pre-​cavity spots. No cavities! Evidently the fancy dental spa was trying to do unnecessary work for the cash.Dr. Shust prescribed some fluoride that eliminated the spots without fillings, saving hubby almost a grand. This has always been my experience with him — super honest and trustworthy.

Excellent dental care. Friendly. Gentle/​careful.
