Dr. Ernest Jercinovic

I’ve known that I wanted to be a dentist ever since I had to get braces in elementary school. Most other kids were just embarrassed, but I was fascinated by the whole process. I’ve been in practice for over 20 years now and the field still fascinates me, especially cosmetic and restorative work. It makes a huge difference in people’s lives when I can make their smile as beautiful as they had imagined. My patients say I’m very approachable. I just give them straightforward information and answer all their questions, big or small, so that they can make a good decision about the best treatment plan for them personally. The office is set up with state-of-the-art equipment, but maintains a comfortable and welcoming feel. My dental hygienists are terrific; they are so friendly and they do a meticulous job keeping everybody’s teeth and gums healthy.

I was nervous going into the dentist for the first time in several years, especially after a previous experience where a dentist highlighted how yellow my teeth were and how badly I needed whitening, which I didn't walk in wanting. Halsted St. Dental was delightful in comparison. They were accommodating, super friendly, met me at my level and explained everything they were doing as well as thoroughly explaining the condition of my teeth. From Lauren at the front desk, who recognized me from our correspondence and was extremely clear, as well as helping me figure out a schedule so that I didn't have to pay a ton all at once for follow up visits, to Renee the dental technician who was very attentive, explanatory, didn't ask me too many questions with tools in my mouth (!!) and clearly cognizant of me being nervous, to Dr. Ernie himself who was awesomely honest and up front and didn't seem pressed to suggest treatments I didn't think absolutely necessary -- in fact, assured me that some things I were worried about needing to fix didn't need lengthy treatment at all -- the experience was spectacular and has definitely relaxed me about going back.
