More about Dr. Elisa Ochoa, DDS

Hello, my name is Dr. Elisa Ochoa. I am very excited to welcome you to my practice! It has been my dream to open up a dental office in Pilsen to care for my fellow community members, their families and friends! Born and raised in Chicago, my studies began at Whitney Young High School, and continued at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I received my undergraduate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology. I went on to receive my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago. As a dentist, I am very fortunate to have the ability to help improve the quality of life of people through treatment and education of oral health. I strive to provide my patients with a quality of care that I would be proud to offer my loved ones. My desire is for my patients to be happy and healthy with a great smile to show for it! When I am not focused on changing the world one tooth at a time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, eating at new restaurants, traveling to new places, working out and living a healthy lifestyle. Please let me know how I can best meet your dental needs. I look forward to meeting you! Keep Smiling!

Elisa is by far the best dentist I have visited. Her staff is absolutely awesome as well. Their main focus is on patient comfort. Ive been scared of going to the dentist my whole life, not any more.

She was knowledgeable friendly and overall just a joy to be around. Even though I don't like dental procedures she made me very comfortable and her staff was very friendly. She is definitely someone who I would recommend people go to see even if you don't like the dentist. She can make anyone feel very comfortable.

Everyone was so friendly , kind and understanding of my issues! They were very thorough and explained everything they were doing. Everyone made me feel at home, which included watching Amazon! It was great!
Verified patient
The Disney of Dentists! From watching the Grinch who stole Christmas while getting my tooth extracted to the upfront, transparent, to the straightforward approach to pricing and how long it will take. This crew takes charge and leaves you you wanting to come back. I have truly never been to a dentist with a get it done attitude like this one! Keep with the fantastic work and I can’t wait to get all my dental care back on track and done here!
Verified patient
This is the most wonderful dentist office experience I have had. My hygienist, Monica, was so kind and smart, I learned so much about taking care of my teeth. She did a fantastic job. Even though I unfortunately found out I have a few cavities to get filled, I was never shamed or made to feel nervous about getting them remedied. I felt like Dr. Ochoa and her team were looking out for the future of my teeth and also how to fix present challenges.
Verified patient
Very clean office with the most modern equipment out there. Does it work without feeling pain would highly recommend going. Even has parking spaces to park so you don’t have to drive around the circles looking for parking close to the highway in public transportation

Verified patient
For the first time EVER I actually enjoyed the experience of visiting a dentists office. The ladies were very informative, the care was effortless, the energy in the office is very welcoming and my favorite part was the mindfulness treat to infuse the apron put on me with a touch of lavender.
Verified patient
Over all Elisa Ochoa and her staff were great. Everything was done in a professional, timely manner. This was my first time visiting this facility and already booked two follow up appointments. Thanks Erica!!
Verified patient
Dr. Ochoa and her team have transformed the fearful, anxiety-ridden experience usually associated with going to the dentist. By putting the well-being of their patient first they've removed some of the discomforts and have made the experience so much better. The staff is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They're transparent in their pricing and will work with you to ensure you make the best decision for your health and your bank account. I highly recommend a visit to Pilsen Smiles!!!
Verified patient
Excellent Care! Very impressed and grateful for the attention given to me and my very young child. So happy to find a high quality dentist in my neighborhood. Thank you, Pilsen Smiles!
Verified patient
one of the best experiences at a dentist's office I've ever had. I will def recommend pilsen smiles to friends and be returning myself!
Verified patient
The staff and Dr. Ochoa were wonderful. I had not been to a dentist in a while and there was no shaming only kindness and thorough care. Facility is nice and comfortable as well. They do go the extra mile. One word of note around billing, be sure to ask them for a breakdown with your insurance before they see you, even for routine check ups, etc. They gave me a fluoride treatment and did not mention until after the service it wasn't covered in my insurance. The impression given was that it was routine and I had not thought to ask what portions of the visit wouldn't be covered by my insurance.
Verified patient
Dr. Ochoa is phenomenal! She is extremely knowledgable about issues you bring up regarding your teeth. Her and her staff are genuine professionals, and I have never felt that they are pushy with extra screenings, procedures, etc. The wait time is minimal and the check-up or procedures are quick and painless. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to make a switch to a new Dentist!
Verified patient
I came in for a teeth whitening procedure and I'm very pleased with the results! Elisa met with me to go over the details of the procedure and repeatedly asked me if I had any questions. Her assistant Silva took it from there. The procedure went smoothly. Overall great experience.
Verified patient
I thought it was pretty good and did not have to wait long, less the 30 minutes and above all it is walking distance from my home and now I don't have to travel downtown. thank you.
Very pleasant and professional staff. The best party was having the insurance coverage explained and knowing exactly how much I was expected to pay before my next visit. Seriously, all medical and health facilities should have this but it's shocking that it's s not a standard. .. lovely visit. Highly recommended.
Verified patient
Dr. Ochoa is passionate about her practice and puts her patients first. She's always excited with her patients whether it's a first time or repeating patient. I'm definitely happy to see a charismatic dentist in my neighborhood. It makes visiting a dental practice more welcoming.
Verified patient
By far the best dental office I have ever been to, can't say enough good things about them. Everyone from the dentist to the staff are superb, they go above and beyond to make your experience an enjoyable one. Monica, the hygienist made me feel super comfortable and answered all my questions - she's extremely caring and knowledgeable. I will definitely be coming back and recommend Pilsen Smiles to anyone looking for a good dental office.
Verified patient
I love Dr. Ochoa! I've recently referred her to friends and friends. All staff in the office are friendly and they make you feel at home.
Verified patient
I left this office feeling like family. Gladys was the first face I saw. She was the sweetest and so helpful. Monica was next. She was amazing! Caring for teeth while having braces can be tricky and time consuming, but I learned so much during my visit with her- very iinformative, gave me great advice, and gave my teeth the best cleaning I'd had to date. Dr. Ochoa was the last friendly face I met- so upbeat and positive! What a great experience. I can't wait to go back and I highly recommend this office for dental care.
Verified patient
Had two dental fillings and Dr. Ochoa and Silvia were very kind and welcoming and the procedure was quick and well done. I have almost no post-operation pain and I am comfortable coming back to this office for any work I need in the future.
Knowledgable dentist, friendly demeanor
Dr. Ochoa and Gladys were extremely helpful, patient, and kind. I came in worried about a pain in my tooth and they did everything they could to put me at ease and recommend a plan to fix the pain. I look forward to becoming a little more proactive with my dental health and will definitely make Pilsen Smiles my dentist's office.
