I felt compelled to post because I do not want Dr. Robinson's practice to be represented poorly, as…read morethat's just ridiculous. I've been going to Dr. Robinson for over 15 years. She first started working with me when I was around 14 years old, and had to deal with maryland bridges due to two of my front teeth missing from a congenital defect. Not only is she extremely thoughtful towards the cosmetic side, she is extremely precise and excellent at what she does. She is also just a very sweet, lovely person. I always found the staff very sweet, aside from one hygienist who lectured me about electric toothbrushes and their importance. (I knew the importance, and I am extremely hygienic, so I felt that she was trying to tell me I wasn't cutting it, which is just weird.) Anyhow, Dr. Robinson got rid of her. I also live in NYC andI like her enough to not get a dentist out my way, and visit her when I go home to WMA. Seriously, the best of the best. Highly recommended!!

I visited the clinic for the first time in July. I was attended to by the dental assistant Neicha…read morewho was lovely and attentive. However, Doctor K who later came to check on my teeth was very obviously uninterested in her patient, and condescending. She said since I haven't had cleaning in a dental clinic in more than a year (I did not have dental insurance but took very good care of my teeth), have weak gum and a cavity I should schedule to have 2 cleanings within 2 weeks and for filling. Upon hearing that I have a cavity, I asked where the cavity was to which she said mumbled something I couldn't hear. I wanted to ask for more information on exactly which tooth it was on, how serious it is but when I sat up and turn around, she was already GONE! While checking my teeth, she also made some unpleasant comment about my gum, alluding that it was because I didn't get my annual cleaning. Later, when speaking to the Patient Care Coordinator Chrissy about scheduling and prices, she was very demeaning. I stated a few concerns about my teeth in the form and so she went over the available procedures to address them. She recommended that I should get the occlusal guard. When I found out that it cost $700+, I expressed that since it is too expensive I will not get it. She started looking and speaking to me like she is very unimpressed and displeased with me. When I asked if there is any other procedure available for teeth-whitening besides the one she showed me, she replied that, "we only offer high quality procedure here. well, you can go for those cheap products that they have in the market but they are not effective ......" after which point I was so shocked to listen to what she said. I merely wanted to know if there were other options/ procedures than the one she mentioned. Throughout our interaction she made me feel like I was an irresponsible person who doesn't care about my teeth and she was being "nice" by pushing me to do teeth whitening, filling, and cleaning. I later found out that I never needed 2 cleanings in 2 weeks. However, that is not the worst yet. I went there because I thought the dental clinic was in-network in my dental plan, but not anymore. They kept the information from me when I asked if they accepted my dental plan. I ended up having to pay out of pocket for the services I had when I thought it was fully covered by my dental insurance. Before leaving, Chrissy even had the gut to give me their business cards and ask me to recommend their clinic to my friends and family. NO WAY!

And I received many compliments about how white my teeth were, which I had never received in my life. And all the visits I have been very pleased with.

I had a terrible experience…read more The woman who was doing the X-Ray was very rude and I think the dentist just wants to subject you to a lot of procedures to make you pay more. I'm not white, I think I was also treated poorly because of that. Racism is everywhere. I tried to stop her and explain that I was feeling very uncomfortable, she kept on saying she knows her job. I had to pull the x-ray out of my mouth because I thought I was going to throw up. I asked her how many shots she needs to take, she sort of avoided my question and said there are still so many. I rephrased my question, and said I'm asking about the exact number because I'm feeling very uncomfortable, and I may not want to continue this procedure. Then she said she still needs to take 22 (which is A LOT. I'm still trying to understand what the standard procedure is). Then I told her that I don't want to continue. I thanked her and said she was doing great, and that Im leaving because I was feeling nauseous. Her reaction was very rude ("You cant just leave! You need to see the dentist!"). The dentist came and said he isn't going to change the standard procedure for me. "What are you going to do if you got pain again?" he asked, and I felt like he was trying to convince me to get the treatment, making it sound like it was my only option. Go to a dentist who actually cares about your comfort and health, and who isn't treating people poorly because of their skin color or accent.

If you have anything like problem teeth, beware this office, which expects patients to have at most…read moreone or two small cavities. In terms of culturally responsive practices, this dentist gets a negative score: voice dripping with sarcasm, he told me that my teeth were not something he could help me with given that my jaw is "deformed" (I have an overbite, but it's like that of most people with overbites and not exactly something that you would stop on the street and gawk over) and that my dental decay (from years of bulimia that eroded my enamel) was not something he would handle. (He said he could handle it but chose not to, almost enjoying the sense that he was denying me treatment.). Let me be clear that it's not the information this practitioner conveyed that I want to warn people about: it's the flavor of open disrespect and even shaming he felt comfortable expressing, as though having "good teeth" were a sign of moral integrity. Remarkable that in 2024 in the Pioneer Valley, there are still some medical and dental practitioners who don't consider it among their professional duties to conceal whatever prejudiced beliefs they hold about their patients' health. The ideas about dentistry lodged inside this man's head are the stuff of mid-nineteenth century England: if you were a quality or refined sort of person, you would be born with a well-aligned jaw, and if you have bad teeth, it must be that you are an essentially gross, lazy, degraded person. I had the bad luck to choose this practice at random, and now I've lost that insurance-covered visit. Shame on this practitioner, and if you have any kind of non-normative identity or dental situation, beware of this practice. Edited to add: This practitioner recommended that every single tooth be removed from my mouth. The oral surgeon refused to do this as it was too radical a treatment plan and sent me to a new dentist for a new consult because more than half of my teeth can obviously be salvaged by an unbiased practitioner willing to do the work of real dentistry. Boutique dentists should advertise themselves as boutique dentists so that real people with real human dental situations don't make the mistake of seeking treatment from them.

My first connection with this business was by phone to make an appointment. The woman scheduling…read morethe appointment was very knowledgeable about the procedure which was an extraction. She asked questions and gave me an idea of what it entailed. I quickly got an appointment. I filled in paperwork online so all was set. I was met by an associate who took me into the room, had a great sense of humor, showed me x-rays, and explained the problems and answered lots of questions, making me feel very confident and fearless. Dr Blount came in and asked me more questions, and said that the original conclusion of my primary dentist was correct and explained why. The procedure was quick and painless, except for the slight Novacaine jabs at the start. The associate kept me relaxed, and the surgeon worked quickly and thoroughly. There were no problems with the recovery and it was just as they said it would be. All of their explanations and professionalism took away any fear I had.

They saw me right away and I had my X-rays done by the only nice person I met in the building. I then saw the dental hygienist. It seemed like the entire point of her "exam" was to shame and scare me into spending an absurd amount of money on their dental plan. When I told her it had been a while since my last cleaning, she said "I can tell." She showed me a photo of my gums and said "Do these look like healthy gums to you?" The dentist dismissed my pain and blamed it on a medication I've been taking for months. After you have your visit, they have you check out with a sales person disguised as an associate who tries to pressure you into signing up for their high interest credit plan. They said my treatment plan would cost approximately $7,000 with insurance. When I stated I couldn't afford that, she said she would check with the dentist to see what was "absolutely necessary." It can back to around $4000. I left. I went to Baystate Dental the next day and paid $80 for a procedure that alleviated my pain. I'll have another procedure for the same cost in six months and my issue should be resolved - a far cry from $7000. I'm a medical professional myself and I would never make a patient feel this way. I know that in these times many people have to choose between daily living costs and medical care. Maybe I would have fallen for their scheme if they treated me with any type of respect and understanding, as I was in so much pain. This practice is clearly exploiting vulnerable people with dental emergencies and using high pressure sales tactics to get people to spend money they don't have. I'd recommend going anywhere else.
