I don't know where to begin to explain my wonderful experience with Dr. Melita. I searched for the…read moreperfect orthodontist for almost 5 years and I'm beyond happy that I found Dr. Melita right when I was about to give up. The reason for my hesitation was the multiple crowns (one being very visible) in my mouth along with the crowding issue I had. I am opposed to pulling healthy teeth out to make space without first trying to make it work with the existing space. Not even once did Dr. Melita try to change my mind about this nor even later during the treatment did she bring this up ever. She respected it wholeheartedly that I could feel it every time we would talk about next steps in making space to move the teeth around. Another reason why she is be the best Orthodontist to me is is that she worked with my crown so well that I never thought it would look this good to be honest. During the treatment, she allowed for me to go to my dentist to get a temporary crown to reflect the actual position of my teeth to make sure she gets them to the actual positions they need to be as close as possible. Not even once during the treatment have I felt rushed. It felt as if Dr. Melita was giving me the care that she would actually give to her own self. I don't know how I can actually convince anyone via words without knowing me to go and at least have a chat with Dr. Melita but I can tell you this much; I became a bride with braces as I was THAT happy and comfortable with them. I had the option to remove them for the wedding but didn't even bother. And it was Dr. Melita who offered to take them off so I could have my pictures without braces. I can't imagine a single orthodontist ever offering that. Little things matter along with the major PART of getting beautiful results. I took my braces off almost 3 months ago and still waiting to get my permanent crown put on. During this process I'm still in touch with Dr. Melita's office frequently and even after finishing the treatment you must see how much they still care for you to make sure you get on the schedule as soon as possible. I never laughed or smiled as genuinely as I do now and I can't thank enough to Dr. Melita and everyone in her office for making it happen. You make all the waiting worthwhile.

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 would trust Dr. Sadamani's professional opinion and advice and wholeheartedly recommend Cambridge Orthodontics to anyone looking for an orthodontist! I've had my permanent retainer for 4 years before one side of my wire came popped off, which impeded my eating. I couldn't go to my orthodontist because he is based in California, so I called around to multiple orthodontic offices in Somerville and Cambridge area. Cambridge Orthodontics was able to get me an appointment within 5 days of my call, compared to other places that offered appointment slots a month out from when I called. I appreciate that they understood the urgency of my situation and tried to get me in at the earliest time possible. The visit itself was nothing short of a pleasant experience! From the staff members who aided with different parts of my procedure to Dr. Samadani's consultation, everyone thoroughly explained to me what they were doing every step of the way. Dr. Samadani was especially thoughtful in explaining the different options I had for my permanent retainer. Frankly, my biggest fear was going to an orthodontist's office that I am not a regular at and be ripped off. I was on guard that they would tell me to replace my entire permanent retainer rather than repair just the broken part. Dr. Samadani was really honest about the state of my permanent retainer and I felt that she suggested the most practical option for me moving forward. I truly appreciated her honesty and integrity most about my experience with her.

From the moment I met him, I absolutely loved him... even though I hated what he had to do! To say I had complete meltdowns before appointments -- even just for a cleaning -- would honestly be an understatement. And yet, here we are 36+ years later, and that alone says everything about how incredible Dr. Meola and his team are. I say team because so many of the staff have been there just as long. It truly feels like family every single time you walk through the door. The care, kindness, consistency, and genuine relationships they build with their patients are something so rare these days. Once you come here, you will never want to go anywhere else. Everyone is absolutely fabulous, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this practice.

So, I want to write an update because at the time of this review, I was hoping for the best and…read morefelt a bit pressured to write a review. What I will say is Dr. Murthy is extremely knowledgable about orthodontics and will have very decided opinions about your care. This could be a good or bad thing depending on the case. My advice to you: get a second opinion if you go here first. I wish I had. In my case, my treatment was fine but my bite was definitely not "perfect" when my braces came off. Not sure if perfection is possible, so I can't necessarily fault Dr. Murthy for this. I certainly had some days where the elastics weren't in, if you know what I mean. What I CAN say is that Dr. Murthy's demeanor when faced with any sort of challenge is truly uncomfortable and borderline abusive. He had me on a few different occasions anxious and almost in tears about going into the office at all because I didn't know how he was going to treat me. Will he be annoyed if I wince due to tooth sensitivity? (Yes) Will he scold me like a child if I am not 100% who/what he expects me be on the chair? (Yes) Will he make recommendations that don't always make sense and then get frustrated when I ask for clarity because he doesn't possibly understand how someone might not comprehend him? (Yes) Will he maybe even gaslight you into thinking you heard him say something entirely different than what he said at the beginning of treatment? (also, yes) Look, at the end of the day, my teeth are straight. So result achieved? Sure. I had to lose a bottom tooth in the process (the reason I wish I had gotten. second opinion) and he was extremely rude 50% of the time (saccharinely pleasant the other 50%). The process to get my braces off was absolutely painful (in more ways than just physically). He scolded me because I was experiencing sensitivity and was having a tough time enduring the pain of the removal process. His response was to huff, puff and get annoyed with me, and then threaten to leave them on and make me go to my dentist to get it done because "he didn't have time for it", rather than be understanding and patient. I always felt like I was being rushed through my appointments so he could clear the deck for the next person - and I certainly value time efficiency... but not at the cost of being treated disrespectfully. The office management staff is superb, and the reason why this updated review is not 2 stars.

The below is a copy from my google review. However I would like to add the following:…read more Orthodontics of Cambridge has gone through great lengths in ensuring patient safety, especially now! Upon entering the office, you are instructed to wash your hands and then you have a temperature check by Katia. Dr. Murthy only sees one patient (or in our case family) at a time in his office since the pandemic. He also assured us of the cleaning g process at the start of the day, between patients, and close of the day. This reassurance is imeasurable! Thank you so much for keeping us safe! We found Dr Murthy through our kids general dentist. I'm so happy they sent us straight here! The office is impressive and modern. It is clean, smells nice, and Katia at the front is very helpful with billing, scheduling, and any other questions you may have. Dr. Murthy has a fantastic energy and always takes the time to explain the procedures to his patient and like myself, the parent. We had concerns once braces went on and he made himself immediately available through text and video. Thank goodness for the modern age! We still have a ways to go for my eldest daughters braces, but so far her improvement is great! Highly, highly recommend his office. It's easy to park at his building in cramped Cambridge, too. -Dominique Cohen, mom of Rose and Dahlia
