I wanted to be a dentist from the time of my first visit to a dental office. I grew up in Lincolnwood, and lived in Skokie while earning my DDS degree at the University of Illinois, College of Dentistry in 1983. After spending a few years providing care at an office in Peoria, Illinois, I returned to the Chicago area, where I have been providing dentistry in the communities of Lincolnwood from 1986 through 2005 and now, Skokie since 2005. I have continued to update my dental knowledge by taking over 1500 hours of continuing education classes, and I emphasize the use of high-technology dentistry at my office. As far as professional affiliations, I am an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the Illinois and Chicago Dental Societies. I have also served as an advisory Board Member of the Texas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, and I am a past President of the Society For Advanced Microdentistry. I look forward to meeting you personally at your next appointment, and my wonderful staff and I will work hard to earn your trust. We are always available for any questions or concerns you may have.
Dr. Goone and his long time staff truly cares about the comfort of all their patients. I have been recommending them for over 10 years and everyone I have sent to him is amazed at the level of care his team provides.

I have been going to Dr. Goone since I was a child and his entire office staff has remained of the highest caliber from the beginning. They genuinely care about you and your teeth and are quite good at what they do. In addition, I take public transit and more than once, members of Dr. Goone's staff have volunteered to pick me up and bring me to his office. I cannot think of anyone else who would offer to do such a thing without being asked. It is the epitome of kindness. In short, I would not choose another dentist if someone paid me for it.

Dr Goone is hands down my favorite dentist! Yes I've been to a few throughout my life and they all treat you the same, just another patient in and out of their chair. With Dr Goone it's different, he listens to your concerns and takes his time explaining the problem and/or solution. He's gentle and caring which is a big plus, some dentist can be pretty rough and the patients always pay the price sitting vulnerably in their chair. The staff at leading edge is also very polite, and make you feel at ease. Definitely recommend going to Leading Edge and seeing Dr Goone!

My husband went to Dr. Goone after losing a crown. His office is really close to our house, so it was simply for convenience -- but we are SO pleased to have found such an amazing dentist! I am a bit of a dental wimp -- after all, I never needed braces or a retainer and never had a cavity until I was in my 30s (I swear I'm not trying to brag). When I finally needed some dental work done, I also needed my wisdom teeth removed so they knocked me out and did everything. I woke up a little sore, a little bloody and that was my last experience. So when I went to see Dr. Goone yesterday to have my teeth cleaned (for the first time in 5 years -- does that undo the brag?), I was a little nervous. Everyone in the office was incredibly sweet & Dr. Goone is great! He explains everything very well, has a very warm demeanor that made me feel instantly comfortable, and his work is outstanding. Yesterday I had a typical cleaning -- the hygienist did a careful cleaning that wasn't fun but wasn't a bad experience either. Then today I went back to have a few cracked & chipped cavities filled. Dr. Goone used a sandblasting technique instead of the drill. It was totally painless and I didn't need any novocain. When he finished he said "well, that's it - and your fillings are already set so you can eat whenever you'd like." I responded "that's it?? But it didn't hurt at all!" I guess dentistry doesn't need to be painful (surprise!). I am so thrilled at how convenient the office is and how capable the staff is. Hooray! I have a new dentist that I'm not afraid of!
