Our Reviews

“Dr. Gilbert is professional and took time to explain my treatment to me. I’m looking forward to getting my braces here. And the staff is nice too!!!”
“A lovely office space and very friendly staff!”
“I would highly recommend Gilbert Orthodontics! Dr. Gilbert is both professional and knowledgeable. The doctors and the team always make patients feel welcome and comfortable.”
“Went for initial consult…very impressed with everyone in the office! Dr. Gilbert was very thorough and Tanya responded to my emails right away. Off to a great start! “
“I really enjoyed my experience at Gilbert Orthodontics. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and I thought Dr. Gilbert was thorough with his exam and took his time explaining everything to me. Would highly recommend!”
“Never a fan of my smile, at age 52 I realized that my bottom teeth were starting to crowd. For my anniversary, my wife gave me the wonderful gift of fixing my smile! After asking multiple people, I decided to go to Dr. Gilbert. A great decision. Dr. Gilbert and his staff were friendly and welcoming. They explained all my options as well as the trade offs between the different treatments. I am now 1/4 of the way through and can already see a significant improvement in my smile. Its amazing how much more I’m smiling.”
“Dr. Gilbert and his staff are wonderful. They are kind, friendly and get to know their patients and their families by name. The office is clean, bright, and modern. Dr.Gilbert has done a phenomenal job with my son and his teeth. An added bonus is the location in downtown Highland Park. When my son went to Elm Place he walked there (it’s almost across the street). He was able to take an appointment in the middle of the day and make it back to school. Northwood kids who will be at Elm Place for the next two years may want to jump on that. Truly a great orthodontist. Smart, trustworthy, kind and a pleasure to work with.”
“AWESOME office and staff! Couldn’t ask for better service. I appreciate that the office is supportive to his community, and also took my daughters case on as a Smiles Change Lives recipient, covering the cost of her braces.
My daughter was terrified of getting braces and Dr Gilbert and his staff made her feel so comfortable, and taught her how to care for them at home. We cannot wait to see how her teeth change!”
“My daughter received Invisalign from Gilbert Orthodontics in Highland Park and I was extremely happy with the overall experience. My daughter’s teeth look great and Dr. Gilbert and the Office Staff were very friendly, professional and accommodating. My daughter was away at college and they were especially helpful in coordinating visits; including coming in on off hours. I highly recommend Gilbert Orthodontics”
“The experience is always professional, skilled, and thoughtful!!!”

Community
Welcome to Highland Park, my beloved hometown, and the place where I chose to establish my orthodontic practice. As an orthodontist deeply committed to my community, I am filled with immense love for this vibrant town that holds a special place in my heart. Highland Park is not just a place; it is a close-knit community where unity, warmth, and a sense of belonging thrive. Growing up here, I was shaped by its memories, fostered lasting friendships, and developed the values instilled in me by its wonderful people. Now, I have returned to give back to the community that has always supported me.
Returning to Highland Park as an orthodontist I now have the privilege of transforming smiles, but more importantly, I have the opportunity to positively impact lives. Each day, I witness the transformative power of a confident smile, and it fills me with immense joy to see the happiness it brings to my patients. By helping them achieve optimal oral health, I contribute to their overall well-being and boost their self-esteem, empowering them to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
Beyond my professional role, I am dedicated to actively participating in community initiatives and fostering a culture of giving back. Highland Park has provided me with countless opportunities, and it is my duty to reciprocate. I firmly believe that by investing in our community, we sow the seeds of progress and create a brighter future for generations to come. Whether it is volunteering with the Highland Park Chamber of Commerce, Ravinia Festival, sponsoring Park District and community events, or collaborating with charitable organizations, I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my fellow Highland Park residents.
In Highland Park, we celebrate our shared triumphs, support one another in times of need, and embrace the true meaning of unity. It is this unwavering spirit of community that motivates me to go above and beyond as an orthodontist and as a proud member of Highland Park. Together, we can continue to build a compassionate, thriving, and inclusive community that uplifts and inspires us all.
