She is incredibly compassionate, attentive, and genuinely cares about her patients as people--not just a set of patient charts or teeth. You can really tell she takes pride in doing what's best for you. Dr. Chen, Dr Kao and the entire team were also professional and welcoming, making the whole experience comfortable from start to finish. If you're looking for a dental office where you feel heard and truly cared for, this is the place. They've definitely gained a patient for life!

The entire experience was efficient, clean, and smooth from start to finish. The front desk staff were friendly and organized, and the office itself is spotless and calming. Dr. Chen has been absolutely superb. I had to get a tooth extracted, which would normally send my anxiety through the roof. But Dr. Chen walked me through every step of the process with such patience and clarity. He explained what to expect, answered all my questions, and most importantly, made me feel safe and at ease. I never once felt judged for the time I had stayed away from dental care. Instead, I felt supported--and that made all the difference. I'm truly grateful for the wonderful experience and the care I received. If you have dental anxiety or have been putting things off, I highly recommend coming here. Dr. Chen and his team are great!

I highly recommend Dr. Hamel and his entire staff if you are looking for excellent, personalized…read moredental care. I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Hamel, and it became quite obvious what was lacking in my dental care before. His philosophy, which is to provide complete dental care and not just deal with problems as they arise, is only part of the story. Dr. Hamel will discuss all of the options with you, not just steer you towards a quick and profitable treatment. Dr. Hamel's skill will become immediately obvious the first time you see him. One of the more amazing things he can do that I really like is his technique for administering anesthetic. Most of the time, you do not feel any pain! His extensive knowledge and experience will become apparent the first time you discuss treatment options. He will give you all the facts (full disclosure), so you can make the right choice, as well as his professional guidance. The care you get doesn't stop there. To maintain your dental health, you will get ongoing guidance on how to best keep your mouth clean and healthy. This is done with careful examination and recording of problem areas and coaching to get those areas in shape. I used to think about my dental health with quite a bit of uncertainty whether my dentist cared more about his profit or my well being. Now that I am being seen by Dr. Hamel and his staff, I am very confident that my dental health is where it should be.

Despite this, I had liked the Dr. and decided to use him. Then, a few days prior to my appointment, I contacted the office to determine how much discomfort I would be in. Having never had major dental work, I also asked why it would take a month between my prep and actual crowns. I jokingly asked if the crowns were coming from China. The morning of my appointment, upon arrival, I was asked if I was vaccinated, because they have different protocols for vaccinated v. unvaccinated. I told her I preferred to not answer that question, that it was private medical information. Apparently this and the China comment (mostly this) offended the receptionist so much that they then claimed I had "attitude" and refused to treat me.

Summary: I was referred to Dr. Shabani for a root canal by my general dentist, since I required IV…read moresedation. She decided the day of treatment, while I was under sedation, that the tooth did not need a RC and did a composite filling instead. She treated several other teeth for cavities (I only consented to ONE). It has since been determined by two dentist and an endodontist that the referring dentist had been correct about the need for a RC. Furthermore, the work she did on the tooth next to the problem one caused that to need a RC--this tooth had not been hurting me prior. I gave her several opportunities to fix the issue and while she did make a good faith effort, she failed to be able to correctly diagnosis the problem (or listen to other dentist that told her that the two teeth need RC's despite me having provided her with the full reports and signing a release for her to speak with them) Continue reading for the full timeline of events. Note that names of other dental offices have been redacted. January 18, 2023: I received the treatment plan from Dental Care of Burlington [DCB]. The total cost was $5,280. The treatment plan was for a root canal, crown, and ONE composite filling of tooth #30. January 19, 2023: I was asked to sign the treatment plans and necessary consents. Since we had not thoroughly reviewed a root canal's risks and benefits, I asked to speak with Dr. Shabani before signing the consent. Her assistant attempted to answer my questions, but I insisted on speaking to the dentist. Dentist responded to my questions about the root canal while I was being hooked up to monitors and getting an IV in my hand. I signed the consent for the root canal and the treatment plan for the root canal, crown and ONE composite filling only. I remember very little after the being administered the IV drugs. January 20, 2023: I returned to the office to have my bite adjusted it was at this time I leaned exactly what work had been performed. January 27, 2023: I woke up with an extreme toothache and called [DCB]. They could not get me in until the end of the following week. I found an emergency dentist who was able to get me in that afternoon. He took X-rays and informed me that #31 needed a RC (I did not tell him that was the orginal treatment plan)He also mentioned that filings that had completed were "very sloppy" and needed to be redone. He cited "overhang" and a good amount of decay left behind as his reasons for drawing this conclusion. End of February: I returned to my general dentist. He reconfirmed his belief that #31 needed a RC and also noted that my bite was off. March 2, 2023: I returned to [DCB] for a bite adjustment and pain, primarily in tooth #30 and #31. Dr. Shabni acknowledged in person and in her notes, that #30 needed to be re-done. She claimed that #31 was fine but thought I was irritating it with my tongue. March 16, 2023: I returned to [DCB] with increasing pain levels was was once again told it was because I was playing with the area. Dr. Shabni suggested I get them polished down under sedation. April 6, 2023: Dr. Shabani placed a sedative filling on tooth #31 to help "calm it down." This provided SOME relief, but it continued to hurt. I went to see a third dentist for another opinion. He, like the two dentists before him, stated that #31 needed a root canal and that #30 also needed one because the filling was pressing up against the nerve. April 11, 2023, I spoke with Dr. Shabani about what [3rd dentist] said, and urged her to listen to the three other doctors and do a RC. She said you would get back to me on scheduling, because we had to coordinate with [Anesthesiologist] . She also suggested putting a medicated filling on tooth #30 to help calm it down, which I initially agreed to. On April 12, 2023, I informed Dr. Shabni I no longer wanted to do the sedative filling and wanted just to treat the tooth when we could get time on [Anesthesiologist] schedule. She claimed we needed to do the sedative filling to isolate which tooth was causing me the problem (I was later informed that messing with a tooth that needs a RC is a bad idea). After some dispute about how much of the RC bill I would be responsible for, she expressed her annoyance that I "keep going to other dentist" and "don't trust her". I expressed that my weariness is because she did a lot of work without consent and I've been in pain since January. She told me to go to another dentist and she'd refund me the entire amount of my procedure "because it's just not worth it at this point". As of now, I have not received the refund or communication about when I can expect to receive it. I also have not received my entire chart despite having asked for it repeatedly (even before April 12). DCB is also not giving me the necessary paperwork needed to work with the [Anesthesiologist] to find another dentist. For all of these reasons, I cannot recommend Dental Care of Burlington.
