The providers are fine but the admin is rough. I had an insurance change and was supposed to be given a refund because I was retroactively covered by Medicaid/masshealth. Spent weeks going back and forth with the desk to no avail. Was finally told it was submitted to masshealth and I should hear back in a few weeks about it but never did. Was told a manager would handle it but radio silence. Six months later come in for my cleaning and was told my online appointment that I booked was double booked despite that I received a confirmation. They said the "system just lets you do that" I then tried to explain the refund situation and was told there were no managers and they don't take Medicaid. When I explained MassHealth (which is Medicaid) they said they'd email the managers (???? I thought there were none). When I asked for the name they refused to give one, saying they didn't know who would be handling my case. Then who are you emailing? I'll probably have to report to the state which isn't good for anyone but I just need my money back. read more

The service is terrible. I had a 3 o'clock appointment and wasn't seen until 4 . They are very unprofessional I've been a patient since at least 2011 possibly longer and never felt so disrespected from not only the staff but the dentist as well read more

Terrible place. The staff sucks. They will have you waiting for 45 minutes past the time ur appointment is supposed to start. if you come in "early" like they suggest, you will wait for over an hour. Don't book here. I wouldn't recommend this place even if my teeth were dropping like flies and they were the only place open in the city. I would genuinely rather be toothless. The place is riddled with incompetence, every single staff member is incompetent. read more

This is the worst service or rather lack of service I have ever had in my entire life. I will be suing this clinic for neglecting me as a client forcing me to pay even more money to shift my teeth back in place because of their neglect and unprofessionalism. I am begging everyone to never go to this clinic. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE THEY DO NOT RESPECT YOU AS A CLIENT. read more

Place sucks. I went here because it was close to my house. Had a cleaning and it was a painless procedure so I decided to get my wisdoms removed. Dentist was super aggressive, arguing with his assistant and didn't even finish my last tooth because it was "too difficult". Shut the place down. read more

would give -5 stars if I could! This is the ABSOLUTE WORST dentist to go to! They have literally ruined my life, made me not want to be here anymore with the awful, AWFUL work they started on my teeth for partial dentures. Dr. Basher gave me HORSE TEETH for crowns that not only look hideous, but case me pain every time I eat, because I bite my lips with them they are SO big! She never did impressions of my teeth before she pulled them, they look nothing like my original teeth. my canine and incisors are literally bigger than my two front teeth. I want to have tiny little baby teeth. I now have a gigantic horse teeth. And for her to even let me walk out of the office with these crowns, just goes to show what kind of dentist she is. Now trying to get dentures has been next to impossible because they cannot get them to fit or look correct in my mouth now because of the 3 HORSE CROWNS I have. I had four but one broke literally three months after getting it! Dr REFUSED to correct the problem! I am going to do everything in my power to make sure she hast to pay for this damage and the emotional damage it has caused me as well. she needs to lose her license! Dr Basher? More like Dr. Botcher! read more

See all

Swung by this office because it was across the street from my apartment. I needed a new dentist because I just moved and a wanted to get a regular cleaning. The receptionist was very helpful in helping me get an appointment booked right away! This office is awesome and has late hours, so it made it really easy to find a time that worked for me within 3 days of stopping by to schedule. When I arrived for my appointment, the front office was kind and understanding even though my insurance situation is tricky. The prices are great for out of pocket, and I am grateful for that! The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star review is because I felt like the cleaning was not very thorough compared to my typical cleanings at previous dentists. There was no flossing and a very minimal amount of scraping and polishing. But hey, I guess you get what you pay for! They were friendly and professional nonetheless. read more

My wife (Carol) got her tooth pulled today. He (dentist) was in a rush and ignored her when she cried from pain during extraction (he said we will have to stop now if you keep on crying). The doctor was more concerned about kids in waiting room hearing her rather than caring about her pain. No sutures were put in after the pull, no followup appt scheduled to see if there is an infection afterward, no guidance as far as risks of dry socket. Just a short 1/2 page instruction sheet with limited information about post-care. Awful!! read more

the customer service sucks!! i been waiting over an hour to make my appointment they wont even let me say hi!! very unpleasant and unprofessiona.this place is the worce!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!!. ALL THEY ARE INTERESTED IN IS TAKING YOUR MONEY. I got my braces put in 4 months ago. Not even 24 hours and one of my brackets came out and I did not eat anything crazy or out the ordinary. I called the office was already closed. The next day was a Sunday, I had to wait for the following business day to go in. When I went in, they were SO BUSY as always. The Orthodontist just simply cut my wire and told me to wait till my next appointment to have someone replace it. YA'LL my next appointment wasn't until TWO MONTHS later which was over 8 WEEKS. By the time that appointment approached other brackets were lose. I complaint and told them that I am suppose to get my braces tighten every 4 to 6 weeks. They APOLOGIZED and stated that that was an error on their behalf and it would not happen again. My SECOND TIME getting my braces tighten, when I went in the orthodontist realized that they haven't been putting a bracket on my tooth with a crown and stated that they never had the correct glue and they will start putting a bracket on as of today. Two days later another bracket came off on the bottom end tooth. Now I Go in today and they got a new manager HILARY who was IMPOLITE and LACKED EDUCATION on Orthodontic treatments and dental services. After my appointment today, HILARY told me that I had to pay $25 to replace a bracket on the same tooth that is always coming off. I told her it is evident that the bracket is not being placed currently and I have been complaining about it in my previous visit. HILARY told me then I need to speak with the Doctor. I told her then can I go back and speak with him she said NO NEXT TIME but I have to pay Today!!I TOLD HER THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!!! And I was not told about paying for replacing brackets in the beginning. HILARY Said " OH WELL, IT's on Page 2 Of YOUR CONTRACT". Had I known this prior I would of opt for a more professional Orthodontist office. I payed the money and I asked her is there someone higher up that I can speak to. HILARY gave me a business card for the Dental office. AT THIS POINT I WAS OVER IT!!!!!!!!! SHE MUST OF THOUGHT I WAS FOOL!!! I told her no I did not ask for the dental office number, I am asking to speak to someone higher up because this is my health we are dealing with. HILARY turned to me and said" NO I CANNOT GIVE YOU THE NUMBER OR EMAIL TO SPEAK TO NO ONE. I WILL HAVE SOMEONE REACH OUT TO YOU!!!!!!!!! WHATTTT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE IN ANY HOSPITAL, HEALTH CENTER, DENTAL OFFICE OR OPTOMETRIST OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place is total CHAOS. THERE IS NO PROFESSIONALISM. SIDE NOTE: Everyone that goes her is either black or Spanish and they are robbing us minorities of our hard earned money and according to HILARY there is no one that can help us!!!!!!! read more

My dentist is the boss . I've always been afraid of the dentist that's why I took years to do an extraction, did 2 in one day no problem. I'm so annoyed I didn't do this sooner but hey . Love Dr. Dental on Center Street. read more

Staff/hygienists were kind and got me in quickly for first visit but the dentist left a lot to be desired. I was pregnant and going for first cleaning, he seemed annoyed I didn't want XRays of teeth because of pregnancy then he spent about 6 minutes cleaning my teeth. I was there for a total of ten minutes and then was charged for both diagnostic and preventative care at $138 and $139 each. Tried to call the office but their mailbox is full?? Definitely will not be going back. read more

The good thing... they are open on Saturdays, they are affordable, parking adequate, pleasant staff, initially...once you make an appointment they go full on guerrilla tactic, unleashing several text message reminders and numerous confirmations, once you're in the office it's business as usual, usually only one or (on a good day) two overworked and overwhelmed dentists, who have no time for pleasantries, This is my issue ...my last visit there was sub par and this is a warning to you about their survey,as well My mistake was I responded to the "How are we doing survey" and told the truth, my insurance was charged for a cleaning I only received half of, so I mentioned it in THEIR survey, fast forward I call the dental office about proceeding with my dental plan, I and my calls go to voicemail, I leave a message I receive no call back, I won't bore you with the following attempts but 3 weeks went by no call back no voice contact so I wonder are they deliberately avoiding my calls, Nawh no professional office does that, so to reassure my thoughts are off base I call the dental office from a different phone, they answer, welp I got my answer, why you might ask l, could find only one conclusion, I think off-base (but accurate) the staff and possibly even the dentist is retaliating for my truthful survey response, in response they took evading my calls and mis directing me about their insurance protocol for other work their behavior was not only un-empathetic it was patronizing, what's even more infuriating there literally is no avenue for recourse no headquarters , no complaints line they literally have carte blanc to practice passive aggression and unprofessionalism to gate keep and cherry pick patients based on your response to their farce of a survey and to boot they charge your insurance for work that is literally and honestly incomplete. read more

At Dr. Dental in Jamaica Plain, I received excellent service from Norvia, the Administrative Assistant to Dr. Vij, the dentist. The dental office is large enough to treat six patients at once. The office is open from 8am-8pm, so they are flexible with scheduling. Whenever I needed an appointment, they were available to accomodate me. Norvia, the Administrative Assistant is kind and courteous. When I came to the office without my credit card, Norvia explained the company policy and scheduled me for an appointment two days later. I got my treatment without any problem. read more

They doctors do not know what they doing I came in for a filling and they left my bite real uneven and my tooth don't even look like my tooth anymore also the whole procedure was painful , I kept asking to numb my tooth more and he ignore me and said "that's how it supposed to feel" and why is the assistant questioning the doctor if he was doing it correctly like if she knew what he was doing wrong I would suggest no one going here at ALL you might as well go in and use the tools to do it yourself read more

I used to love coming here, the great receptionists left and they have a new regional manager. All of the front end staff is awful. I came in because they made a mistake on one of my teeth and it was the second return to correct it. I called ahead to say i would be less than 10 minutes late for my 11:00 appointment. Their policy allows you to be late under 15 minutes. I arrived at 11:05 and was waiting alone for 5 minutes until their new receptionist showed up after a dental assistant noticed me. I was taken to a chair and after 45 minutes the dentist still had not showed. I asked the receptionist what was going on after 30 minutes and said I shouldn't have to wait this long. She then stared me in the eyes to yell at me that I was late myself, shaking her head like I did something wrong. I reiterated I called and your policy says I have extra time to get here, not that it ever meant i'd be waiting almost an hour to be seen. I asked for the district managers contact info and she handed me the new regional managers name only on a card. No other contact info. I will never be coming back here. Terrible experience I will never be read more

Love the front desk staff. They are always smiling and friendly. I love the fact that they always accommodate you and try to work with your schedule. Staff is knowledgeable The wait is not too bad . Every time I go there the place is clean and neat read more

I have going to Dr. Dental for over 5 years and never had an issue. My husband had an appointment and had an unpleasant experience. The appointment was for 3:30pm and he had 4 text messages from them to prove it. Yet yesterday he was called by the receptionist at 3:15pm stating he never made it to his 3pm appointment. I Advised her that the text messages he received was for 3:30pm. He was already on his way. That is definitely an issue, because they have a new policy if you miss your appointment you will not b seen for one month. When he arrived he stated that the receptionist Ashley was rude and did not try to hide her mood of clearly not wanting to be there. During his cleaning with the the Dentist he felt rushed and said that the MD could have done a better job. The hygienist Asia delivered poor service. She polished his teeth and she did not offer mouth wash or water to rinse his mouth. He left the office with polish and blood residue from the cleaning. He was so disappointed that he said he will not be going back. The last appointment was not the best, but it was not this bad. They have a lot of turnovers from the receptionist, Hygienist and Dentist as well that is contributing to the poor service provided. read more

t have gum recession that's been progressing for years, and at the place I'd been going to, the hygienist just kept telling me to brush more gently (not helpful). After finding out my gum recession could be due to my clenching. I decided to come here to have a night guard made since it would save some money. Before they took the impressions, Dr. Talati not only demonstrated for me exactly how I should be brushing to spare my gums, but she helped me understand other things that could be causing my recession (like whitening) and answered all my questions. Her assistant, Lili, was also gentle, helpful, and friendly. I wish I'd come here sooner! read more

When I returned I went to Dr. Vonguru as was unhappy with my last visit to Dr. Taliti. I felt she did not spend enough time with me for procedures and explanations, but Dr. Vonguru really did. I will keep seeing him. read more

I live in the area and went in for a dental cleaning and exam. I don't expect much from dental offices except respect for patients and a professional work ethic. All of this the office lacked. The doctor (Dr. Chou?) was extremely demeaning, rushed through my treatment plan (I am still confused about what is going on), told me to instead go to another dentist (his words echoed those of another incompetent dentist at Dr. Dental in Springfield) and simply walked out after the cleaning (what happened to, thank you or goodbye?). My dental cleaning was horrible as well, so much that I will be going for a cleaning elsewhere in a few weeks. It disappoints me that Dr. Dental continuously offers such substandard service. The dental office is located in a section of Jamaica Plain that consists of predominantly lower-middle class Latin@s. This does not justify their negligence when treating their patients. A message for the dentist who saw me this day: the reason why a significant number of your patients have fillings varies. However, before becoming a dentist you should have taken some cultural competency courses and have researched the community you were going to be serving. Had this occurred, maybe, you would not be so insensitive with your patients and acknowledge the ways that class and race shape my community's access to dental care. Will NOT return. read more

I went here 3 years ago as a mystery shopper. I like them so much I switched from my other dentist.

About a week ago I went in for a routine cleaning and as aways Dr. Cho along with the entire staff continue to give me reasons return. Everyone there is super friendly and know how to really take care of their patients. read more

My insurance sent me to a few local places in my area including Atlantic Dental and a few others. This office was the only one to offer appointments sooner than 2 weeks out. I don't know about other people but the dentist isn't on my list of awesome weekend trips so the idea of waiting weeks out for a particular necessary evil is not how I'd like to have plan my weeks. Anywho, Tatiana the receptionist was delightfully pleasant booking my appointment and answered all of my questions. They even accommodated me the morning of when I need to move my appointment later. I arrive and it's not some dinky place. Professional, clean, and since they treat children, they have a particularly calming atmosphere. read more

Friendly staff. Great doctors. Walked in and was attended immediately. Very polite and careful with what they are doing. Super clean. Will recommend to family and friends. read more

Dr. Cho was so kind and generous with me, and making an appointment was incredibly easy. The new patient special was a great deal and the front desk staff were professional and helpful. Overall, this was an overwhelmingly positive experience for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a good, affordable dentist, especially without insurance. read more

I went here with a Groupon because I hadn't been to a dentist in a long time. The place is small but the staff is very friendly and put me at ease. I had a filling done and was satisfied. Dr Ali made me feel comfortable by explaining to me exactly what he was doing and why. read more

I was visiting a friend in Jamaica Plain when I came down with a terrible tooth ache (worst pain of my life!) They fit me in as promptly as they could. Everyone I dealt with there was kind and sympathetic and very compassionate. As someone coming from out of country, they were very reasonable with the price and directed me to a reasonable pharmacy. I can't thank them enough for the kindness they showed me on what was a very bad day. read more
