Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Caring Doctor
I've been with Dr. Hajjar and Dr. Raneri for a very long time. Dr. Ranieri I've been with him for maybe 30yrs. And he brought in such a personable, patient and caring doctor, Dr. Hajjar.

In my desperate moment of dental health needs, Dr. Basel Hajjar met my needs in an exemplary way. He is consistently very professional and displays his knowledge and expertise in the highest calibre of professionals. I especially appreciate his genuine and authentic concern about his patients - namely, me. He explains every step during the procedure in a calming manner. He even called me the following day to to inquire about how I felt and if there were any issues. His staff is also professional and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Basel Hajjar and recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Hujar is an excellent periodontist. He has a wonderful and calming personality. He was very gentle while he was working on my gums. I was surprised by how quickly he finished the gum graft he performed on me. The results were exactly what he was hoping for. His after care is also excellent. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of a periodontist!

Recently I was referred to Dr. Hajjar for periodontal treatment. How fortunate northwest Indiana is to have such a quality professional. I recently retired from practicing dentistry for more than forty years. I always trusted the services of Dr. Ranieri and more recently Dr, Hajjar for all my periodontal and implant referrals. The care and compassion of Dr. Hajjar along with every member of his staff was wonderful. Any patient with apprehension of dental surgery will immediately be comforted by a professional staff and receive treatment second to none. Lynn E. Gassoway, DDS

Dr Hajjar did an extraction and bone graft for an implant on a tooth of mine. Being one who has high anxiety when it comes to dental work, Dr Hajjar was wonderful with putting my mind at ease, calming my nerves and putting full confidence in his skill, he also had a great dental assistant which helps! He is very down to earth, with gentle hands when it comes to extracting a tooth and implant! I would highly recommend him! You don't come across genuine professionals in this field, he is of few!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hajjar?
Worst experience ever. Went for consultation and he walked in with papers ready to begin extraction. I should have known right then that I should just have just not done anything with this dentist. He had such a hard time pulling out the tooth, my jaws were sore, swollen and bruised afterwards. It took 10 days before I started looking normal again. It was so embarrassing at work and everywhere else I went, people asking me what happened to me. Couldn't see him for a follow-up til 4 weeks later

My visit started because I needed to get my wisdom teeth removed. I made my appt with such ease. Brought my xray along with my referral from my dentist. When I met Dr. Hajjar he made me so relaxed, because I was so nervous. He not only examined my mouth for the wisdom teeth, he also told me to make sure i get some fillings checked out by my dentist. I guess it was fear of the unknown and his assist explained to me what to expect and to prepare for the procedure. The staff was so friendly.

I met Dr. Hajjar in October 2014. I was impressed by his kindness and compassion. A friend of mine was real sick and Dr. Hajjar came to the hospital to pull his teeth. On that day they couldn't pull his teeth. Dr. Hajjar took my friend and put his arm around him and promised him he would get his teeth out as soon as possible. The next week at a different hospital Dr. Hajjar kept his promise. He was a life saver for my friend. In March 2018 Dr.Hajjar pulled a bridge and two teeth for me.
