Why Patients Across Chicago’s West Suburbs Choose Dr. Jeffrey Chandler for Oral Surgery
Finding an oral surgeon you can trust is not easy. For many patients in Elmhurst and the surrounding west suburbs of Chicago, that search ends at Elmhurst Oral Surgery, the practice of Dr. Jeffrey W. Chandler, DDS, MD. With more than 20 years of experience and credentials that set him apart from the majority of oral surgeons in the Chicago area, Dr. Chandler has built a reputation that patients keep coming back to reference when they refer friends and family.
Dual Credentials Many Oral Surgeons Don’t Have
Dr. Chandler holds both a DDS and an MD, a combination that reflects a level of surgical and medical training that goes well beyond the standard oral surgery residency. He earned his DDS from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry and his MD from SUNY Downstate Medical Center, where he also completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency. After medical school, he completed an additional internship year in General Surgery.
He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and a Fellow of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Board certification in oral and maxillofacial surgery is not automatic; it requires passing rigorous written and oral examinations. For patients in Elmhurst, Oak Park, Lombard, Villa Park, Oak Brook, Oak Park, River Forest and neighboring communities, these credentials matter because they reflect a commitment to ongoing professional standards that not every local oral surgeon maintains.
A 4.8-Star Rating on Google and What Patients Actually Say
Elmhurst Oral Surgery carries a 4.8-star rating on Google, which is notable for a surgical specialty where patient anxiety and procedure complexity can make satisfaction harder to achieve than in a general dentist’s office. Reviewers consistently point to the same things: Dr. Chandler takes time to explain what he is doing, his staff is genuinely warm and helpful, and the overall experience feels far less intimidating than patients expected going in.
One reviewer described Dr. Chandler as “very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining everything.”; Another noted he is “caring and kind, straightforward, and reasonable on price”. The pattern across reviews reflects a practice where patients feel heard rather than processed.
Hospital-Affiliated and Fully Equipped for Complex Cases
Dr. Chandler is affiliated with Endeavor Elmhurst Memorial Hospital in addition to his outpatient office at 360 W. Butterfield Road. That hospital affiliation matters for patients with more complex medical histories or surgical needs, because it means Dr. Chandler operates in full hospital settings when the situation calls for it, not just in an office-only environment.
His certified surgical assistants are trained in IV sedation administration, and all staff are CPR certified. The practice also offers same-day emergency appointments for patients in acute pain, which is a meaningful difference for patients who cannot wait days or weeks for relief.
The Procedures Dr. Chandler Focuses On
Dr. Chandler has concentrated his practice on the procedures that west suburban patients most commonly need:
- Wisdom tooth removal, including impacted and partially erupted teeth
- Dental implants, including bone grafting when needed
- Management of benign oral pathology
- Deep sedation and general anesthesia for anxious or medically complex patients
- Full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery for hospital-based cases
