It's been really hard to find a in-network dentist (MetLife) in the suburbs west of Boston…read more(Watertown, Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington, Medford). The best-reviewed offices do not take new patients, and the ones who do have very polarized reviews. And Yelp Reviews are often out of date for new dentists (in old offices). So I am thrilled to find this office in Medford (easy, free garage parking). It's worth driving 15 min. The office staff (Beth) was terrific - quick, efficient, courteous, helpful - I found an appointment to do a filling to fix chips within the week. She helped to check insurance. She reminded me to transfer X-rays. And on the day of the appointment, Dr. Qu was great. He is honest, direct, efficient, and does not "up-sell" anything. His work is very meticulous and he has "steady hands" if you know what I mean when it comes to dentistry. The filling (on the front teeth) are better than any I've had in this area. The billing was immediate, clear, and I decided to switch to this office after the first visit, even though it takes 15 min longer to get to. In case you are interested, the way to properly pronounce Dr. Qu (the office just call him Dr. Q to spare people the trouble) is a combination of the CH in "Cheese" and REE in "Tree" - Ch-Ree. However, if you just say "Dr. Tree", you are already about 80% close to the original pronunciation - not bad at all! And for anyone who might wonder but are embarassed to ask, Dr. Qu speaks perfect/native English. So don't let that hold you up.

My first cleaning with the new staff was amazing. Not only did the hygienist share heartwarming anecdotes about her personal life, but she also showed me how to floss correctly (I've been flossing incorrectly for years and nobody explained it to me so coherently) and showed me the water floss I should buy to ameliorate my concerns about mold accumulating in the water tank. I then was introduced to the doctor, who was the nicest guy I've legit ever met! I felt comfortable and in turn it helped with the exchange of info that led to an effective and enjoyable dental experience! I would have recommended with last year's staff, but I highly recommend now!

I learned of Dr. Jaillet from Yelp after searching dentists in my area. I am about a 2-minute walk…read morefrom her office, which is quite convenient for me having a 7 month old baby. I cracked my tooth on a Thursday night and called at 7:30am the next day, thinking I would leave a message and hope to get a call back. Not only did they answer the phone, but I was able to get an appointment for 10am that same day, even though I was not a current patient. Dr. Jaillet fixed my tooth to perfection and I have since been back for dental maintenance, after not seeing a dentist in about 4 years. Dr. Jaillet has been very welcoming, accommodating, and exceptional at educating me on my dental health. Now onto the rest of the staff.... I have had two appointments this week to get my teeth back in tip-top shape. Rather than having to find a last minute babysitter, the gals in the office allowed me to bring in my little peanut and they happily kept her company while I had my dental work completed. The process was just about an hour for each visit and they were my lifesavers! I'm sure they didn't sign up for babysitting when they decided to work at a dental office and I whole heartedly appreciate their kindness and accommodation of my situation. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Jaillet to everybody I know! Final Thoughts.... Having not been to the dentist in quite some time, I expected to receive a scolding and perhaps not be asked back! (My teeth are NOT that bad, I'm being a bit over dramatic) However, Dr. Jaillet did not scold me but she took the time to explain the importance of regular visits to the dentist. She also took the time to educate me on what is happening inside my mouth. She thoroughly inspected my teeth and decided on a plan of action. Sending me home with some light reading material (it was one side of a paper) and a goodie bag of treats for my teeth, I left feeling better about my dental health and reassured that I can and will be able to get back on track. After my experience with Dr. Jaillet and her staff, I will certainly never wait that long again to see the dentist!
