She definitely was rough when I went in for a filling, very abrupt in her tone but since it was my first time there, I let it go. Another visit, there was some odd disagreement between her and the hygienist with tense words shared and me in the middle. Very awkward to say the least. When I finally decided to schedule being fitted for a retainer she quoted me a staggering $800. I did not receive a quote on paper or email and did not sign anything. When I called to confirm with my insurance provider, they said she was not qualified to perform the service?! They recommended I seek a orthodontist. The final straw was when I called the office number to cancel, left a voicemail since it was after hours and 8pm at night get a call from Dr. Mayada clearly upset that I cancelled saying the retainer is already ordered and it's "too late" to cancel (even though I was cancelling way more than 24hr in advance). Unfortunately, echoing the other reviews: she is too deep in the admin side and tries to upsell to her patients. This lack of consideration she has towards her staff and patients is very alarming, unprofessional and ultimately made me seek care elsewhere.

Dr. Attar is an incredibly gifted dentist, who is a kind, comforting and gentle-speaking man, with a wonderful sense of humor. These attributes are what got me through a lot, and I will be forever grateful, and returning for my periodic check-ups, for as long as they will have me. Many kudos, as well, to his attentive and talented team, as well as his welcoming staff. I highly recommend Dr. Attar and his crack team at Bedford Dental Arts in Bedford, MA.

One star, and that is generous…read more I had a terrible experience with Bedford Dental Associates under Michael S. Garber, DMD, and most of it comes down to administrative incompetence. Yes, I had missed a few appointments in the past. That does not justify what happened next. At my following appointment, I was left sitting in the waiting room for a full hour with absolutely no explanation. Other patients arrived after me and were taken back almost immediately. The front desk staff was right there within whispering distance the entire time and chose not to say a word. When I was finally called in, the hygienist said there had been an emergency. Emergencies happen, but basic communication is not optional. It felt like my time was simply expendable, but theirs wasn't. The real problem, though, is the front desk receptionist. When I decided to switch dentists, I requested my X-rays and dental records, which requires a standard release form. I was told it would be emailed to me that day. A few hours passed, so I followed up, I was met with attitude and told they were very busy and she had not gotten to it. When I politely asked if it could be sent by the end of the day, she snapped that I would not be getting the records that day anyway. A full week passed with no email or release form. When I called again, I was definitely more stern and, yes, rude and condescending in response to the ongoing lack of professionalism. I figured that speaking her language would work and yes, it worked. I received the email within five minutes. It's noteworthy that there was no body to the email, just a subject line that said "RELEASE FORM" all caps. That alone says everything. It should not take rudeness to get a simple, legally routine request fulfilled. This is not complicated work. It does not require a genius to pull a standard file, attach it to an email, and press the send button. Instead of acknowledging her failure, the receptionist complained about my tone and accused me of being condescending. Based on the repeated delays, poor attitude, and inability to handle basic administrative tasks, I genuinely wondered if she failed out of secretary school. This woman is for sure dumber than a bag of hammers. Between the unexplained wait times, the dismissive behavior, and an admin staff that seems completely unqualified, I would never recommend this office. If you value your time and expect basic professionalism, look elsewhere.

The dentist on staff (not Garber, but some petite Indian woman) was nice, however, when I instructed her not to put fillings in my daughters baby teeth, she went and did it anyway and we were charged. Shortly after, my daughter's baby teeth, with the ever so tiny filling came out. They will do whatever they can to perform unnecessary work and they do not respect their patients privacy (discussing my daughter's dental matters in the small waiting room in front of other patients and talking down to us). The entire experience was negative. Also, not sure what they use to perform xrays, but the inserts that go in your mouth were hurting my daughter. We have since found a new dentist (Dr. DePriest) who is way better with a much more friendlier and professional staff. Avoid Garber and his scags.

I even make the drive from the North Shore to Lexington to continue with such a tremendous dentist. From the moment you enter you are greeted by the most lovely women working the front desk. On certain days even Dr. DiMattia's wife is working. They remember most patients by name and will inquire about family, work etc. I usually see Joan for my cleanings. She books quickly because she is awesome. She does such a thorough job but you don't feel like your teeth have been assaulted. You leave saying wow so that's what they're supposed to feel like. Again Joan has worked for Dr. DiMattia for years. Having employees that stick with a dentist I think show the character of the professional. You can tell his employees hold him with high regard and so do his patients. Dr. DiMattia is personable and most importantly honest. You're never talked into unnecessary xrays, this that or anything else. Dr. DiMattia is incredibly fair on the prices he charges too. In this day and age when a good dentist is hard to find and many people fall victim to gentle dental or other national chains it's nice to know that Dr. DiMattia takes the Hippocratic oath to heart.
