Fall 2024 Update

Dear Patients,

In today's world, we see a lot of things changing and our practice is making changes as well. We have the same office, but our name is changing from DiVerde Dental to Crowe Dental Associates. Everyone you know is still here, our policies are all in place and we have updated the office a bit. We still have very modern equipment like 3-D imaging, dental scanning, Invisalign and Botox, just to name a few.

Unfortunately we are out of network, but we do offer a "friends and family discount" that you can ask us to apply. This discount makes your costs very close to the same as those negotiated by the big insurers. The insurance cost and maximums are about the same as they have been since 1982. Obviously our costs have gone up and, while that will always be true, we don't want to play games such as looking for work to do or upselling you. You want a highly skilled and honest dental office to trust with your care.

 

As I have mentioned before, I have no interest in or have recommendations for my last two offices. In my opinion, I do not feel I could entrust them with my care or that of my family.

 

Please feel free to text me if you have my mobile number or email me at doctordeaver@gmail.com with anything with which I might assist you.

Thank you very much for your continuing support. I will give you honesty and excellence always.

Warm regards,

Dr. Bob Deaver

Facts You Should Know

All of these changes started when I sold my first practice to a dental corporation that removed me and started spreading rumors about me that were not true. I thought you'd enjoy reading about what's really going on:

FACT 1 – I Have NOT retired, secretly or otherwise
I am still a practicing dentist. I have just moved to a more comfortable setting where I am assured to have the time to provide you with the best dental care and personal service possible. My long time patients know me for my high quality work and deep concern for your health. This new arrangement allows me the time to fully care for my patients.

 

FACT 2 – I was NEVER secretly working at another office
I established my office in 1984 and worked there until just recently. I only worked in that office, unless I was working in a volunteer position with Dental Lifeline Network, Doctors Without Borders, or Mission of Mercy; charity work of which I am extremely proud.

FACT 3 – I, my wife and my family members are all still alive and well
We’ve heard a lot of strange stuff over the last few months, such as:
•    I have a debilitating illness (arthritis, Alzheimer’s, HIV,

     Athletes Foot). Nope, not true. I’m fine.
•    My mother passed away and/or I have left suddenly to

     care for her. Again, no. She’s fine and still quite spry.
•    I just left one day and did not return or communicate my

     absence to anyone. No, I never left, just moved to another

     office and am still quite talkative.
You have to wonder how these rumors get started, but rest assured, nothing like the above is remotely true.

 

FACT 4 – I am NOT working full time as a teacher

I am currently teaching part-time at the University of Illinois – Chicago Campus dental school and I have been for many years, even before I changed practices. This in no way hinders my time and ability to be your personal dentist. I learned how to walk and chew gum years ago.

Teaching allows me to stay up to on techniques, products compliance and more. Plus I am now a certified dental examiner helping new dentists enter practice.

 

FACT 5 – If you get any calls or mail from my previous practice, they are NOT coming from me

For some, it’s hard to say “goodbye.” Fortunately, I don’t have to. It’s not goodbye, it’s “See you in a new location!” Our new location is growing and we welcome old and new friends and their families. We would like to thank our patients who have found us and appreciate your continuing trust and support.

 

FACT 6 – I have NOT moved my practice out of the city of Chicago

My new practices is still in the heart of the city. The address, along with a map, are shown below. And we have a wonderful view of the Bean! Nice, right?

 

Have you heard anything different? If you have any questions about me and our new practice, just call and we’ll give you the truth.

Best regards,

Doctor Robert Deaver
