I have been going to Dr. Hillesheim for 20 years, he is one of the best dentists around, period. He is very honest and has a great doctor-patient relationship with all his patients. He is extremely caring, actually listens to your concerns, explains everything in detail, and answers any questions you might have. His office manager, Jennifer and his assistant Paula are super friendly and always make you feel welcome. This is truly a wonderful family practice. I highly recommend!

Dr. Hillesheim took care of my son’s abscessed tooth. He reached out to my son after business hours, immediately got him on an antibiotic and scheduled an appointment first thing the next morning. Following the procedure, Dr. Hillesheim did an outstanding job with a crown, carefully matching the color of the enamel to the surrounding teeth. In addition to being an superb craftsman and caring dental professional, his office staff is friendly and client-oriented. Highly recommend Dr. Hillesheim and his entire staff at Palatine Family Dental!

The fact that I have been his patient for over 15 years should speak volumes. Professional and caring. I highly recommend.

We were referred to Dr. Hilleshiem by a few friends. So glad we came here. The team is so friendly and make you feel like family. The are flexible to meet our schedule, our lives are very busy with work and family. The pricing is more than fair compared to what we have seen before but more important we feel so cared for. We highly recommend this place...

Dr. Steve is a fantastic dentist and his office staff could not be more accommodating and generally wonderful. There's nowhere else I would go.

Dr. Hillesheim and staff are 1st class, always polite and friendly. Since I have lots of fillings it is good to know that when they need to be redone that it will go smoothly. Their office is always warm, clean and welcoming. I always recommend Dr. Hillesheim to all my friends and family.

A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Hillesheim and I was thrilled to have finally found a good dentist. He replaced a filling for me and I was really happy with the result. However, at my last visit I was treated so rudely by him for being 10 minutes late (which I apologized profusely to the hygienist for), that I will not return. After looking at my teeth, he told me "OK, now we need you to get out of here, we have people waiting. Maybe next time you'll be on time." WOW. I don't know if I caught him on an off day or what, but if that's how he treats his patients, I don't want to be one of them.
