I have been to a lot of dentists in my life and I can honestly say, Dr. Saati is the best one. Five…read moreyears ago I moved to Peabody from Malden. I had been avoiding dentists because of a horrible experience but I had no choice, I needed to see one ASAP. Thank God I went to him and later on his wife Dr. Pandolfo. They started careing for my very neglected teeth. There are not enough praises I can say about them. I highly recommend them. Specially if you have any kind of anxiety with dental work. I basically spend the entire afternoon in their offices and I simply keep thanking God I came across them. I feel great and my teeth are happy.

From Alison at the front desk who is a model of efficiency, friendliness and competence to the delivery of care by the hygienists- it really is extraordinary.

Several bad experiences led to an irrational fear of dentists and distrust of their expertise. Dr. Kolesar cleaned up my mouth, was sensitive and responsive to any pain I experienced and remedied it immediately. He was on time, professional and personal. Hands down, this was one of the best and most competent experiences I have had. The entire team from the front desk to the medical team deserve medals!!!

The Most Unprofessional and Disrespectful Dental Office I've Ever Experienced…read more I was a loyal patient here for over 25 years and brought them countless referrals -- until I saw how they truly operate. When you pay cash or have private insurance, they treat you like royalty. The moment you switch to MassHealth, the tone completely changes. The warmth disappears, appointments become difficult, and suddenly you're made to feel like a burden instead of a patient. After my father passed away, I missed one appointment -- and even after providing proof of his death, they still charged me $50. When I refused to pay on principle, they decided to "part ways" with my entire family. That says everything about their values. What really turned my stomach was that the staff and even the dentist personally spoke to me about other patients in extremely unprofessional ways -- mocking people's dental problems and making degrading comments about those who couldn't afford certain treatments. That's not just unethical, it's a complete breach of patient trust and privacy. They once pretended they no longer accepted MassHealth, but when I later called to confirm, the receptionist said they absolutely still do. That kind of dishonesty tells you all you need to know about their character. This office built a fortune on loyal patients and referrals, then turned around and disrespected the very people who helped them grow. They value money over integrity, and image over compassion. If you want to be treated with dignity and honesty, go anywhere else. There are plenty of dentists who understand that health care is about people, not profit.

The appointment did not include a cleaning, which was not specified in the pre-appointment communication. I had told them that I just had x-rays from my previous dentist and did not need them (since I do not currently have dental insurance, cost is important to me) but they did not listen and gave me x-rays anyways. The dentist was rather aggressive in discussing an unrelated medical issue (which I already am managing with my PCP) and pushing some very expensive dental work. I do not understand how so many people have left positive reviews for this office, and do not plan to go back.

Before visiting Dr. Rafferty, I read online reviews. Although I came across two concerning reviews…read morefrom other sites, I chose to proceed based on the numerous positive testimonials on his website. Regrettably, my experience was far from satisfactory. I initially sought treatment after breaking off part of a tooth, upon which Dr. Rafferty recommended a crown. Crown #1: During the appointment, despite expressing concerns that my bite was way off at least five times, my feedback was disregarded. Consequently, the crown was significantly oversized and had no appearance of a natural tooth. I was told that the misalignment issues would resolve within 24 hours, but they persisted, leading to unbearable pain, inability to sleep or eat solid food. The earliest follow-up appointment was 5 days later. Dr. Rafferty made the necessary adjustments to recover my bite but the finish was filed off resulting in a rough surface with metal exposed through the porcelain which looked even worse than before (see photos). Seeking a second opinion confirmed the necessity for replacement, which Dr. Rafferty agreed to, albeit with significant discomfort and post-removal pain. Crown #2: The second crown looked good but suffered a fracture upon placement. I mentioned the crack sound it made when being installed, but was told it was fine. When I got home, I took a good look and saw that the crown had cracked completely in two, requiring yet another visit for removal and replacement. Crown #3: While the third crown initially appeared promising with both look and fit, it dislodged just two days after installation without so much as eating on that side. An additional visit was needed to re-install the crown but it required further adjustment due to the increased height from the new layer of cement. The filing adjustment caused the outer smooth finish to be further removed resulting in a rough top. The entire ordeal entailed extensive travel to Dr. Rafferty's office as I live an hour away. I anticipated 4 hours travel, but it totaled 14 hours with additional expenses. Beyond the physical discomfort and pain, the experience lasted for over a month and caused incredible anxiety. Although Dr. Rafferty displayed willingness to address issues, the repeated complications and resultant distress highlight a concerning lack of precision and expertise in the treatment process. I hope my experience helps someone else make an informed decision.

I had (*) been a very satisfied patient of Perico Swampscott for more years than I can count…read more(began sometime in the early 1990s). I always had high regard for the care that I received there, until last year. When I returned for a routine dental cleaning I found the office to be not at all like it had once been. There was only one familiar face and I was told that my dentist, along with a number of loyal employees, from the reception desk to the hygienists to the doctors, mine in particular, were no longer with the practice. My hygienist did her usual excellent job. I scheduled my next visit and simply felt sad that things had changed so much. The reason that I am writing a review is that today I received a text message telling me that my cleaning appointment had been cancelled because the hygienist had left the practice. I was not offered an appointment with another hygienist. I am left feeling that I was simply cast away. One of the things that I really liked about Perico (aside from the great care that I received) was that there were many hygienists there. I valued using them all for all of their different knowledge. I always tried to have a different hygienist each time. (*) To be notified that my appointment was cancelled (less than a month before my appointment) because the last of the group of hygienists had left the practice (to repeat, there always were many and I loved them all) and not be offered an alternate appointment is unconscionably unprofessional. I mourn the loss of what Perico was and stood for. God save my teeth now!
