She made sure I was aware if I had any issues to reach out on her cell even nights & weekends. Her staff is also really nice.

** Falsifies patients chart Records** We'll find you out. Doesn't listen at all to the patient…read more They sent me a letter that was very unexpected in the mail. It was stating that we do not align, and it's simply because I was pushing back on them, and i had a very rare condition that needed to be treated by a surgeon. I had to get it from my General Practice Doctor. They would not even give me a referral to surgery. Dr Michael Edwards made me feel like a complete ignorant idiot when I came to his office in tears. He wouldn't listen to me when I told him this was affecting the roof of my mouth. He basically had a "suck it up" attitude and then came back in the room and apologized for being insensitive. In my notes, they stated that I called the office and was comparing prices of them pulling a tooth versus the er pulling a tooth. I'm not sure how that constitutes being dismissed as a patient. I was looked at like I was crazy the whole time I was trying to explain my condition. I kept being told to leave the areas alone and let it heal. Turns out I was right and they were wrong, and it's just an ego hit. The hygienist was getting very upset at me, questioning or rather giving her advice on where to go in the mouth. I guess we are supposed to just trust every healthcare provider to know every single answer. I guess we are supposed to keep how WE feel & what WE know to ourselves I was told they knew about my condition, but i'm actually fairly certain that Michael has never treated it. He absolutely did not know anything about root scaling and didn't even want to pull my tooth, which ended up being severely infected. After he pulled it, he said, wow, yes, we should have pulled this. It's like no kidding.This is going on in my mouth. The letter that they sent me stated that communication and understanding is not aligned. So in layman's terms, basically, they wanted to say that I was questioning their medical excellence, supposedly. I am not sure how doctor edwards did not notice on my X-rays or cbc i had fluid built up in the roof of my mouth. I spoke with his office manager, who said that A letter in the mail is normally a last ditch effort. I never even got a phone call. Considering I drove 40 plus minutes to see them and spend tons of money. You would think that the doctor would tell you the price of an extraction before he does it. You would think they would recommend you to an oral surgeon. You would think they would actually diagnose you with a condition rather than doubting if I even have it. As the letter stated dentistry is personal. Maybe they should take their own advice and listen to a person who's actually living through the issue and has a mouth they live in. I will be seeing a periodontist that was recommended by my dentist and local. The only star i'm leaving is for the office staff who does a good job. If I could leave zero stars, I would. When they were doing a cleaning, they didn't even work for more than eight minutes. I'm not sure how that constitutes a deep cleaning When i've had deeper cleanings at a general practice. Essentially thank you for taking my money. Thank you for failing to refer me to a surgeon. Thank you for ejecting me as a patient. Thank you for making me believe that this is my fault. Additionally, thank you for the 50% bone loss in my mouth that my scan 2 weeks ago showed. My condition went downhill FAST and you treated it like it was nothing. Failed to diagnose me correctly. Failed to come up with a treatment plan. Failed to spare me the pain and pull my infected tooth. Failed to refer me to surgery. Failed to recommend gum surgery or a laser that he supposedly specializes in. WOW! Not a single mention of a gum surgery which I ABSOLUTELY needed. Now I was told I may need prostethics, bone grafts, etc. and multiple surgeries. Thank you for not taking accountability for your lack of knowledge into my condition. 10/10 do NOT RECOMMEND. Find someone who is willing to listen to you, the patient. It's odd how offended doctors get when they are questioned.

Then she cleaned my husbands teeth and he complained about how she hurt his gums while cleaning his teeth. Then he said he needed to take painkillers after he got home. I also had my teeth cleaned a few weeks ago and she was too rough as well. We've never had this kind of experience there and have been patients for 10 years. This needs to be addressed. I'm not sure if she's new or not. Another issue is we have 2 free cleanings a year which is every 6 months with our insurance. They have been scheduling us every 8-9 months which most times is only once a year. If he has so many patients maybe it's time to hire another dentist to work with him. We should be scheduled every 6 months. Maybe it's time to find another dentist.

From start to finish, this dental office provided such a pleasant experience! Kathy was very…read moreaccommodating when scheduling my appointment & kept in touch with me via text when needed.

She also gave me a few tips on dealing with cold sensitivity on one of my teeth which has helped tremendously over the last few months. To top it off, Dr. So was also very personable and it was so nice to meet a fellow California native! I'm excited to return back for my next cleaning which says a lot coming from a person who doesn't particularly enjoy going to the dentist! The office is also very clean & they have a few parking spots reserved for patients so I did not have to pay for street parking.

I do enjoy going to the dentist and honestly find it a bit relaxing to sit in the chair. However,…read moreonce I found out I had my first cavity I was a bit concerned to get the filling done. Especially since anytime needles are involved I have a tendency to pass out. I have always had great dentists and I think that is part of why I have enjoyed going to the dentist, but at Mass Ave Family Dentistry you are not just getting a fantastic dentist--you are also getting a great team that works well together. Once I informed the dental hygienist, Amanda that I could pass out I was amazed at the extra steps that they took to ensure for both my safety and comfort. Shannon, who was shadowing for the day, and Amanda both did a fantastic job of keeping me talking and making sure that I was feeling ok. Dr.So and Amanda did an amazing job on my filling, it is not noticeable at all and has not changed my bite or smile. I also needed to get part of my permanent retainer fixed and I appreciated that Dr.So and the receptionists let me know that it would likely be cheaper to get it done at my orthodontist's. I think it says a lot about the quality of healthcare professionals when a healthcare office lets you know that there might be cheaper alternatives for the same work! In the end, I decided to get my retainer fixed by Dr.So and Amanda instead of traveling to get it fixed at my orthodontist's office. My retainer has never felt so unnoticeable, once again I really cannot say how amazing the work they did for me was!

I had to have a frenectomy and then gum grafting surgery and I was absolutely terrified. I'd never had any kind of surgery before but had severe gum recession and it needed to be done. Considering the circumstances, the office couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. They make it really easy to schedule and they will update you via your preferred contact method. I was given all pre- and post-op instructions over text, which I much prefer to a phone call. Dr. Patel is amazing--he's funny, efficient, and really makes you comfortable in his care. Love him! I truly cannot imagine having a better experience at the periodontist. And nobody wants to go to the periodontist.

The entire procedure of extraction and implant was explained very well. And the moment I met Dr. Patel and Ana, I was so relaxed and relieved. Dr. Patel was so caring with the very best bedside manner I could ever have expected. My extraction went seamlessly with a very quick recovery. Every single person I met besides Dr. Patel and amazing surgical asst. Ana, was professional and caring. I was in contact with Torrie, Jenny, and Alysha through phone calls, texts, and emails, and they were top notch in such reassuring and informative ways. I am sure my dental implant will go very well in 3-4 months. I thank them all for their loving care.

Dr. Gomes got me in right away to perform the removal, and several months later he did the implant for a new crown. He told me the implant wouldn't be as bad as the extraction of the broken tooth. The removal wasn't that bad, but the implant was amazing. I had not a pang of pain, bit of swelling or drop of blood following the implant procedure. Other than now feeling a little bump in the vacant spot where the tooth had been, I can't tell I had an hour-long procedure done. He and his assistant and the staff are always friendly and professional.

The office, the equipment, and the staff were all cleaned, shielded, etc. Sharon did a great job, and is a pleasure. We both love that she doesn't try to talk to you the entire time. We have never been able to figure out why a hygienist wants to carry on a conversation the whole time anyway, as it is impossible to answer with your mouth filled with their tools and hands. Great customer service from check-in to check-out.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Kacey for the exceptional care she provided to my 7-year-old son,…read morewho has autism. Before the appointment, I spoke with the doctor about modifying one of the procedures to better accommodate my son's needs. She was incredibly understanding and assured me that they could absolutely make that adjustment. Unfortunately, the first hygienist was unable to complete the procedure, and another hygienist made me feel as though the accommodation I was requesting was unreasonable and that I was causing my son unnecessary stress. As his mother, I know my child's needs, triggers, and limitations better than anyone, so those comments felt dismissive and insulting. Thankfully, Kacey stepped in. She had worked with my son before and immediately approached the situation with patience, compassion, and understanding. She took the time to meet him where he was, handled him with such care, and successfully completed the procedure without adding to his anxiety. Most importantly, she treated both my son and me with respect. As a parent of a child with special needs, finding healthcare professionals who are willing to listen, adapt, and provide individualized care means everything. Kacey truly went above and beyond, and I am so grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help when we needed it most. She made a difficult situation much easier for both my son and me, and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Thank you, Kacey!
