Local recommendations include Davis & Engert Dentistry, Matt Steiger from @Properties, shoe shopping at Dick Pond, Allstate’s Todd Gentile and 5800 North Cafe

I’m so glad I made the switch to Davis & Engert Dentistry. The continuing education the staff and especially Dr. Julie does is incredible. I’m always so impressed with the knowledge she has about so many different facets of dentistry. My daughter also loves coming in for her appointments. All the hygienists are so nice and helpful, and the front desk always has a smile and returns phone calls super quickly. You have patients for life!

I went to Dick Pond Athletics on Busse Highway to look for some new sneakers. They had a great clearance sale on some high-end brands. A young man named Israel helped find the right ones for me. He was patient, polite and very knowledgeable.

Matt Steiger from @Properties in Park Ridge is fantastic! We interviewed several candidates to sell our home and were impressed with Matt’s knowledge of the area, specific knowledge about our type of home and how to represent it, and his straightforward approach. Happily, Matt exceeded our expectations. His counsel was excellent, he was candid about feedback, and he was a lot of fun to work with. Matt was also 100 percent reliable. He was early to appointments, gave immediate feedback, opened and locked the house securely, and never missed a showing. We never had to think about anything. He even gave us a contact for a great real estate attorney for the closing. We highly recommend Matt!

BFT (Body Fit Training) Park Ridge is the best! The classes are great, coaches are awesome and all the members are super chill and non-judgemental. Reach out to them and take a free class. You won’t be disappointed.

I cannot say enough great things about my stylist at Ash & Willow Salon. She is truly amazing at what she does. From the moment you sit in her chair, she listens carefully to what you want and takes the time to make sure every detail is just right. She’s incredibly patient, never rushes the process, and makes sure you’re 100 percent happy before you leave. Whether it’s getting the perfect color match or nailing the exact haircut style you asked for, she delivers every single time. I always leave feeling confident and refreshed. She’s not just talented — she genuinely cares. Highly recommend!

I wanted to give a shoutout to Dr. Curtis Owen from Elite Total Rehab. I’ve had prolonged issues with my feet and pain when walking and standing, struggling with Cuboid Syndrome. I could feel that my cuboid bone was out of place, and the X-rays from my podiatrist showed this as well. I saw a podiatrist five times for this over the past five months and was still in a great deal of pain. One visit with Dr. Owen and I’m walking pain free. He did some heat and muscle stimulation, and adjusted my foot bones.

Went to the new 5800 North Cafe on Milwaukee Avenue for breakfast today, and it was phenomenal! Food was delicious, and the service was great. I got my typical veggie skillet which, tends to be a lot the same no matter where you go, but this was the best veggie skillet I’ve ever had and so flavorful. Definitely try this new neighborhood small business!
