This review is specifically about the front desk staff. If I could give 0 stars for that…read moreexperience, I would. Everyone else in the office has been great, but the front desk staff completely ruined the experience. The woman at the front desk is extremely rude and disrespectful. She repeatedly interrupted me and would not even let me finish my sentences while I was trying to ask a simple question about my bill. It was very frustrating and unprofessional. At one point, the other male front desk staff member had to step in and offer help because he could clearly see what was happening and seemed to feel bad about the situation. I appreciated his willingness to help, but it should never have had to get to that point. I also spoke with another person who had a horrible experience with the same individual at the desk, so this clearly does not seem like an isolated issue. Patients should be able to ask questions about their charges without being spoken to in an aggressive or dismissive way. It creates a very hostile environment and reflects poorly on the entire office. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because the rest of the office staff has otherwise been very good.

** This review is for the Cleaning service provided by Rhonda **…read more I believe this was the first time I had cleaning done by Rhonda in Arlington, MA's office. She was very thorough, detail orientated and nice. She explain things to you and provide guidelines when needed. Her work was gentle and will use proper force when needed. One of my best cleaning experience at Michael Garber's office so far.

I'm so happy we brought my almost 2-year-old here for his first dental check up and cleaning. It…read morewas a fun experience for him and left his teeth sparkling clean. We hyped up the idea of going to the dentist, starting a couple weeks before the visit, and telling him that brushing his teeth at home was the way he'd end up getting a balloon at the dentist's office. The waiting room is filled with exactly the kinds of toys he loves, so he was instantly happy to be there. The dental hygenist was very friendly and sweet, helping him settle in to the big chair while explaining to us some basic concepts of healthy diet and how it affects teeth. We don't have a TV and don't allow screens but they brilliantly have a projector above the chair - so I'm not sure if this would be as enchanting for a kid who is used to TV but for our son, he was fascinated. It distracted him enough throughout the visit so there was no fuss, no resistance...full cooperation as his teeth were counted. The dentist and hygienist both sing as they're doing different procedures. They let him feel the electronic tooth polisher on his finger before polishing his teeth. I'm so glad we started him early and hope we can continue to keep on top of his dental hygiene. I highly recommend you bring your young child(ren) here.

Upgrade more issues…read more Dentist. Lindgren also deliberately made my top teeth wider than my bottom teeth, resulting in misalignment. Now, all four top teeth have root canal issues, and the cost to fix this is over $20,000. On top of that, he used an intense light that left dark spots on my lips after drying the glue. It seems he did all this intentionally, with these problems only becoming apparent years later. I recorded all my visits and can provide proof if necessary. Dentist. Lindgren falsely claimed I cursed his staff, which is completely untrue. If I had, I would ask him to specify exactly what was said and to whom. I urge him to do the right thing. This behavior is unprofessional and immature. Dentist. John Lindgren and his wife, both highly educated and quick to defend themselves, seem skilled at deflecting criticism rather than addressing the real issues at hand. Despite their credentials, their behavior throughout my treatment was unprofessional and disrespectful.

I am frustrated by the lack of explanations and potentially unnecessary drilling they wanted to do…read more They told me I had six cavities, this surprised me so I consulted another dentist. That dentist said that they would recommend only one filling, that the others had weakened enamel but not to the point they recommend fillings as tooth material is better. (That dentist also didn't want to replace a filling that I repeatedly questioned as it's sensitive, and explained why. I felt a lot more comfortable elsewhere) Mainly also annoyed by the lack of response I got from them when trying to figure out a miscommunication where I was told a lower number then saw the treatment plan for more cavities. The cleaning was fine but the rest was bad and made me stressed.

It is one issue after another with this practice. Beware, your dental visit does not end after you…read moreleave the office. Be prepared for lost time, money, and patience with their poor insurance and billing practices. These include billing your visit as out-of-network even though it is verifiably in-network, and receiving bogus bills months later and getting yelled at by office staff that "you signed paperwork that you'd be responsible for any payments not covered by insurance" and then, after numerous attempts, having office staff tell you that it was their error after all and everything was covered by insurance. Reading over other reviews, it seems like they have the same systematic practice across patients. For my experiences, it's at the level of questionable billing and insurance practices, but for other patients it sounds like they are making bogus claims about dental issues when second opinions suggest they don't exist. The common theme, in my opinion and shared by other reviews, is that the bottom line is "money" rather than "patient care." I have asked to talk to a dentist about the poor billing/office staff experiences and was never contacted.

When they needed braces, however, we wanted a practice closer to home and selected Belmont Pediatric Dentistry's orthodontic partner, Belmont Orthodontics. Once we had experienced the cozy atmosphere and personalized service of the orthodontics practice, both of our kids asked to switch their regular dental care to Belmont Pediatric Dentistry. We like everyone there, from the front desk staff to the hygienist to Dr. Maru. Both the quality of the care and the customer service are excellent. I only wish they accepted adult patients.

Dr. Hami! I was told…read moreshe moved offices - I used to go to here while she was still in West Roxbury. I've gone to Dr. Hami since I was ... maybe 5 years old until I was 18. I moved to California for college, and I haven't found a dentist as good and nice & she is out here in San Diego! I'd say that a lot of kids grow up either hating the doctor and/or the dentist, but because of Dr. Hami's care and wonderful personality, I grew up enjoying dentist visits and dreading doctor visits! I was also able to have a visit or two when they moved to their new office in Centre Street before I moved too! Anyways, if I could, I'd keep Dr. Hami as my dentist forever! :) I wonder if she remembers me....? -Joy M.
