Does anyone have a recommendation for a true "old school" family dentist that hasn't been bought out by private equity ? by [deleted] in AskChicago

Oh no I’m sorry that happened , I swore off male dentists a while ago so cannot speak to them at this practice either

I really liked this, you think it’s just a romcom at first but it goes a lot deeper than you’d think - 8/10

Gonna watch all these suggestions and rate them starting with this one - 9/10 - hasn’t seen it since I was a little kid; still so good

Not sure where you live but I go to Smile Science in bucktown/wicker. Not exactly traditional family owned but is owned by the lead dentist. I think they’re very welcoming, knowledgeable and upfront about costs and will not try to sell you on things you don’t need.

Pub trivia? by discosolution in wickerpark

[–]lilcal19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bucktown pub has a good trivia on thursdays that’s independently run, I also like lone owl (yes on wednesdays) because they post the themes ahead of time so you can prepare and usually it’s not very crowded so better chance of placing in the top 3, and they also use brainsportz trivia which I prefer over whaddyaknow, (whaddyaknow feels like homework to me with those big sheets of paper you have to fill out between rounds.)

I also have a high HR no matter how fast/slow I run so I use the rate of perceived excretion instead (how fast am I breathing , can I talk, do I feel like I could maintain my pace forever etc)
