Zucchero Joseph DDS

"DO NOT bring your kid to this doctor!! He is very brutal, and does not care about the kid. He pulled my kid's mouth so hard and bruised his cheek. He & his staff doesn't even care if the kid is ready, jumped right in to grabbed him forcefully. When my kid's hands slipped off my hands, he blamed us for not controlling him. He threatened to strap him on the board if the kid is not cooperative. He is very condescending when talking to us, without patience, changing stories about what he said last time. I feel like being insulted, kid being brutalized. He is hungry for money. (do the work & get the f* out of my office that kind of attitude) I would NOT recommend this doctor to any parent. I've been there twice, and would not want my kid suffers anymore!!"

"Dr. Zucchero is an amazing dentist! My kids have been coming to him since my oldest was a baby (13 years!). He's very kind and most importantly, very patient! The staff is amazing! Always so kind! In the 13 years we've had Dr. zucchero as the kids dentist, we since moved out to Joliet but we still kept dr. zucchero because he is just the greatest. I appreciate when he teaches, informs the kids about proper dental care and is always reassuring to the parents as well. The exam room is the best - an open room concept where all the children can watch and listen while he works on a child ....very cool!"

"the doctor is so nice and very patient with kids. the place is so simple and doesn't look fancy however the dentist knows exactly what he is doing. I took my toddler son there to get a second opinion after the first dentist in a busy fancy clinic wanted to drill my son's tooth. DR Zucchero reassured me and advised me to start brushing my son's teeth more often and to come back after 6 months. its been a year already and my son's teeth are cavity free! I really trust this doc and I highly recommend him to all my friend and family!"

"My children have been going to Dr. Zucchero for many years. I first met him when my 3 year old daughter fell into a coffee table and injured her top front teeth. Not only did he save her teeth he saved me from the anxiety I had through the whole accident. He has helped teach my children good dental habits. He has also taught my children not to be afraid of dental work. (from cavities to cleanings). I write this review after having witnessed a child getting two teeth pulled. He walked out of the office with a smile. I laughed and said us parents were sweating bullets and this kid is smiling. He is good with kids and as a mom this is all that matters to me. He is knowledgeable and he explains and shows you everything to make sure as a parent you are aware and understand. He takes his time with every child no matter how many children are in the waiting room. Most importantly my children like and are comfortable with him. I feel if we start good dental habits now as adults they will carry on with those habits. I always forget to say Thank you when I leave his office and I would like to say that now. Thank you Dr. Zucchero for treating my children like they were your own."

"I have been very, very pleased with this dentist. Not only did I go to him when I was a child, but now my kids go to him. We travel almost 30 miles one way to see him and it is worth the trip! The staff are nice, his office is kid friendly and Dr. Zucchero is very patient and kind with the children. Each visit he will share with me his findings and let know what things are happening that we need to keep an eye on as the teeth continue to grow and the mouth develops. The kids enjoy the visit and they have had healthy teeth and gums all the way into their teenage years! Dr. Zucchero is worth the visit!"
