As someone who went from avoiding a dentist for years at at time to now seeing a dentist multiple…read moretimes a year, I can attest to receiving great dental care from Dr. Shin for the past 6 years! Dr. Shin is a professor at Tufts School of Dental Medicine and has decades of experience in family dentistry. I first saw Dr. Shin in 2012 to treat a major gum infection that required a significant amount of work and I continue to trust him with the care of my teeth. Since seeing Dr. Shin, I have had fewer problems with my teeth and gums (and in recent years, I have needed no dental care outside of regular cleanings and annual X-rays). Both Dr. Shin and Patty, the dental hygienist, are very professional and friendly. They will take the time to help you understand your procedure and feel comfortable!

He and his dental hygienist Patty are super friendly. Don't be fooled by his Korean last name, this…read moreguy is American, and graduated from Harvard Dental. He's really chill when it comes to talking to patients, and he's really good at explaining everything. I didn't feel dumb when I had to ask him to define some terms for me. I liked that after my visit, he offered a few options for my dental care, making me feel like an equal participant in the convo rather than just being talked at. And he's really reasonable when it comes to costs too. His office is in a rough area, but his building is secure, and there's free parking in the back.

After…read morecarefully reviewing my bill, I found a serious billing error and when I brought it to the attention to the "manager" she fought back denying that I was being overcharged. Showing her the math will all the evidence, she refused to finish my daughters treatment. I began to file a complaint with the state because they were basically receiving extra payment and refused to give me a refund. Well, after a couple of months, I received a call from the office acknowledging the possible billing error which, in my opinion, is very deceitful and possibly fraudulent. Again, CHECK YOUR BILLING! Make sure your insurance gives you a breakdown of what they have pay because from what it looks like, they MAY be over billing patients and they don't have a clue. Remember, they MAXIMIZE insurance payment and then go after you for more money. Just be careful. Again, the services were good, but billing was very suspect.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but the experience with this dental office was so disappointing…read morethat it deserves to be documented. We waited over a month for an appointment, only to have it canceled the day before with no meaningful explanation and no effort to properly notify us in advance. The next available appointment they offered was another two weeks out, which already demonstrated a lack of respect for patients' time. The day of the rescheduled appointment, I drove over 40 minutes through heavy traffic and arrived 11 minutes late for a 4:30 PM appointment (we arrived at 4:41 PM). Despite the office not closing until 5:00 PM, the staff refused to see us because the doctor "wanted to leave in five minutes." After waiting six weeks in total just to be seen, being turned away over a few minutes -- especially when they themselves had already canceled once -- shows an astonishing lack of professionalism, flexibility, and basic empathy toward patients. Life happens, traffic happens, and most healthcare providers understand that. Instead, we were treated as if our time had no value whatsoever. When an office cancels on patients but refuses to extend even the smallest courtesy in return, it speaks volumes about their priorities. The entire situation left us feeling frustrated and disrespected. Based on this experience alone, I would not recommend this place under any circumstances. Patients deserve professionalism, communication, and basic consideration -- none of which were demonstrated here.
