I waited a long time to write my review of Dr. Balani because sometimes you don't really know how…read morethe care was until time has gone by. In short, he is great. Last summer, I was suffering intense pain due to an abscess, My regular dentist was away that week so I ended up having to drive an hour and a half to Woburn on a Saturday to see Dr. Balani but it was worth it. Number one I am so appreciative of his emergency hours. When you need emergency dental care, you NEED it. He and his staff were very kind and understanding and I walked out of the office feeling a million times better. I found him entertaining and very willing to explain the procedures. Followup was great and the fees (though who likes paying dental fees?) were in line with what other dentists charge. His office was super helpful in billing insurance. At my regular followup visit, Dr. Balani did an extra scan on me (at no charge) because I was experiencing some residual discomfort. Right as I was about to leave, he called me back in to look at the scan and noted that there was a possible tiny abscess forming in the tooth next to the one he had worked on. I forgot to mention this to my regular dentist and here we are 9 months later and indeed I have infection under that other tooth. This seems to have been the cause of occasional discomfort on that side of my mouth. So anyway, shout out to Dr. Balani. I wish I had paid more attention to his advice. But mostly I am SUPER GRATEFUL to the way he and his staff took me in quickly and got me out of my pain. Thank you!

I went to Athena Dental Group on July 18, 2025, for a routine cleaning. Before my appointment, I…read moreasked several times if my Delta Dental insurance would cover the visit. Staff assured me it would be reimbursed, but afterward I found out that only $248 of my $677 payment was covered. To be clear, in my benefits I see 100% coverage for out-of-network providers but not the maximum coverage amounts. The office did not submit a preauthorization, which Delta confirmed was the only way I could have known about coverage limits. On top of that, $677 for a cleaning is extremely expensive compared to the typical cost of this service. When I raised this issue, I was refunded $185 for x-rays that were not actually required at the time of the visit. Later, I also discovered a $45 charge for a fluoride treatment that was not covered at all because of a minimum age requirement. Instead of refunding this directly, the office asked me to sign a document waiving all claims and agreeing not to post reviews in exchange for the refund. The office manager also emailed me suggesting there might be a "language barrier" (I'm not a native speaker) if I disagreed with them and threatened to report me to the police if I pursued the matter further. She also stated that their staff had told me, "you will be paid based on how much your insurance will cover." That vague response provided no useful information about potential out-of-pocket costs, even though I had asked three times for clarity. On top of that, the office manager warned me about the "harassment" despite the fact that I only ever called their office twice -- once for my initial complaint, and once more to point out the additional $45 charge. This experience left me feeling misled, discriminated against, and intimidated. If I had been honestly told even the approximate out-of-pocket cost upfront (more than $400), I would have gone to an in-network provider, as I always do. I was shocked to be treated this way by a dental office, especially after asking in good faith about insurance coverage multiple times. I strongly caution other patients to demand written preauthorization and clear cost estimates before receiving treatment here.

The dentist, Dr…read more Saroha, was amazing and went out of her way to deliver friendly, pain-free, tooth-sparing dentistry. I even recommended them to my parents who both signed up. Then weird things started happening. I got billed for work that wasn't performed, they tried to charge me for x-rays clearly covered by my insurance, doubled-down and said I owed them money when I insisted it was covered, and then claimed "they deal with so many insurance plans they can't keep all of them straight" when I finally pulled up the plan myself and showed them. My parents got hit with "lab fees" that their insurance company said should have never been charged under their contract with the dentist. Lots of other "billing errors" that. Once is a mistake, but something was off basically every visit. Oh! And you get a "billing fee" every time their office screws up, which is fun. If I were a conspiracist, I might say that the office is struggling and they're trying to sneak in extras that patients are unlikely to notice. However, it can also be explained by a few bad hiring choices for office administrators. When I left the practice, I called to get a copy of my x-rays for the new dentist. The office assistant sent a collection of THUMBNAILS of the x-rays. Like, tiny grainy pictures for the new dentist. They got angry and insisted that they couldn't get me any other format, and that the files were just really small when exported and that they had never had an issue with it before. After some heated back and forth, the office assistant described the menu she was seeing in the software, I suggested things she could try to export them, she finally exported the images individually as high-resolution jpgs and sent them to me. Seriously, they hired morons. My family and I have left the practice.

The office was closed, so I requested a call back for today. NO call back, so at about 4:45 today I called and got the recep/admin to discuss what insurance they accept and to determine whether the office might be a match for my wife and I. (Dental insurance can be tricky with percentages, deductibles, maximums, waiting periods, etc and I had several questions about various carriers.) The admin (who I won't name was pleasant enough, but at exactly 5pm (and I mean EXACTLY), she asked to put me on hold and I was disconnected 30 seconds later. I called back within seconds (not minutes), but the nightly voicemail had been activated and no one was picking up. If the disconnect had been an accident and the office doesn't have call back caller ID, I would have hoped she would have waited 60 seconds for MY callback and have picked up the call. If she then said it was closing time and had offered to call me back tomorrow, I would have certainly understood. This is disappointing and appears to be very unprofessional behavior. Maybe they are not fussy for new patients. However if the doctor is in fact seeking new patients, he might think about more vigorous training and accountability at the first point of contact, as he just lost two potential patients. For readers to properly assess this review: I've written a total of four Yelp reviews over the past few years. Three: 5 star reviews and one: 1 star review, so I'm not a chronic complainer.
