Maria Rader Wish I could give zero stars... Dental Safari came to my daughters elementary school in the fall of 2024. We signed her up and paid $75 up front because we concerns regarding severe hot/cold sensitivity, a potential cavity in a molar, and discoloration on her emerged adult teeth. All of these concerns I brought up in the form prior to the dentist seeing her, however all I got back was a general form stating they didnt see anything of concern.... So I emailed asking for further explanation on the concerns I had asked to be addressed, but I NEVER heard anything back. We did take her to an actual pediatric dentist a couple months later due to her sensitivity issues and cavity concern. Not only did she have a VERY deep cavity but she was also was diagnosed with Enamel Hypoplasia (a genetic condition that explained the discoloration on her adult teeth and the sensitivity). Both of these things were concerns I had specifically had asked Dental Safari to respond to and were present at the time they saw her at school. They completely ignored my request for further explanation of their exam and missed two very big dental issues they should have addressed during that time. All in all Dental Safari is NOTHING MORE than a glorified cleaning at best. I would NEVER recommend anyone to have their child go to them. My piece of advice to parents looking to have their child visit Dental Safari is to just save up the money to go to an actual dental office.

Adam B. Lawler Great dental practice here in Marion, IL. The entire team is top notch!

Hana Cecelia My first visit there and they were very kind, understanding and accommodating. Dr. Nathan knows his stuff and he was very thorough in examining and explaining to me what my dental issues are, and he was honest/transparent with what could be done to help it. Im glad I chose him as my first dentist in Illinois!
