About Chicago Dental 312
Downtown patients keep returning from far suburbs, other states, even after moving away, to stay with Dr. Momin and Dr. Amy Fossen.

Many reviews mention patients continuing their visits even after moving out of the area, citing continuity of care and the ease of getting in and out without long waits.

Exceptional service, great staff, nice office downtown. Dr Amy Van Fossen is so knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable right away. I trust her judgement and advice. You won’t regret coming to this practice. I refer all of my friends here now.
If you are looking for a new dental office, Chicago Dental 312 is it. Dr Momin and staff are very knowledgeable of the latest dental techniques. Their approach makes you feel comfortable and confident in your dental care. I would highly recommend Dr Momin.
I absolutely love coming to the dentist. Yep, I said it! Dr Van Fossen and my INCREDIBLE hygienist Sue (who is the kindest and gentlest hygienist I have ever had ) truly make what could be a daunting or painful experience that is "going to the dentist" delightful. I've been going to Dr Van Fossen for 6 years now and I couldn't recommend this office more to anyone looking for a place to go. Especially with all of these new boutique dental offices popping up on every corner - I trust Chicago Dental 312, and will make the trip downtown every single time just to know i'm in good hands. :')
A retired dentist new to Chicago, I was referred to Dr Van Flossen by quite a few dentists in the DC area that knew her. So glad I followed their advice. She’s quite knowledgeable, with a fabulous personality, great hand skills and a wonderful staff.
My wife discovered Dr. Momin and was so delighted that she insisted that I switch. I have been beyond pleased that I did. At this point my entire family and many friends have joined us. Dr. Momin has an incredibly warm, soothing disposition that even settled my son's deep seated discomfort with dentistry. He has an easy way of explaining what he is seeing and why he is making a suggestion without ever making one feel like they "don't know how to brush properly." I am sure that he could even make that conversation as comfortable as possible! I will not hesitate in recommending him, and his office, to everyone.
