Dr. Philip Meehan

Oral surgery needs often come with a side of urgency, and finding a specialist shouldn’t add to the stress. Dr. Philip Meehan operates out of a Norwood Park location, where the quiet residential streets make parking and access simpler than downtown alternatives. The practice covers everything from wisdom teeth extractions to corrective jaw surgery, with a single Google review giving it a perfect 5.0—though the small sample size means it’s worth checking for updates as more patients share their experiences.

The address, 7134 W Higgins Ave, places it near the intersection with Nagle Avenue, a spot that’s convenient for those coming from Edison Park or the surrounding northwest neighborhoods. Oral surgeons typically handle cases that general dentists don’t—impacted teeth, facial trauma reconstruction, or pre-dental implant bone grafts—so having a dedicated provider in this part of Chicago saves the trip to a hospital-affiliated clinic. Still, it’s always wise to confirm whether they accept your insurance before scheduling; specialty care can get tricky with coverage.

If you’re mapping out a visit, the directions are straightforward from the Kennedy or Edens, and a quick call to (773) 282-1541 will clarify any pre-appointment requirements—like X-ray transfers or fasting instructions for procedures under sedation. No frills, just the essentials for getting the issue resolved.
