I will follow Dr. Lee anywhere!…read more I am so happy that she has her own business now, and even more excited to be able to see her again. Dr. Lee is the most attentive, understanding, and the most transparent dentist I have ever had. I trust her with all of her work, as well as her review of my dental health. To explain how great Dr. Lee is, the gap of time between when she left her prior practice to start her new business was close to a year. When I finally was able to see her again, she REMEMBERED my personal dental records from memory, which solidified the already huge trust I have with her. Simply put, Dr. Lee is incredible, and she has done the hard work to also become a small business owner which is even more reason to support her. I will see Dr. Lee as long as she is in practice.

I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years because of a bad experience, so I was very hesitant…read morewhen first contacting Charles St Dental several weeks ago. Little did I know, I had nothing to worry about! I couldn't be happier with the care provided by each and every staff member in the office. Not only was I provided with superb dental care but the staff really goes out of their way to ensure that you're comfortable and to assuage any anxiety/stress. I'm so grateful for a healthy mouth and lucky to have found Charles St Dental!

The staff and dental hygienists were completely exceptional, and it is unfortunate that Dr…read more Himelhoch was utterly terrible. She had terrible interaction skills with my 4 year old who is new to a dental office (2nd/3rd time). My child had a cavity identified during the initial visit that needed to be addressed. We came back over for the follow up where initially with the [perfectly lovely and child-centered] hygienist, we were told that my child could sit on my lap to make the experience more comfortable for her. The dentist proceeded to come in, and told us it wasn't going to work like that and that she would have to sit on her own to get the procedure done. I don't know if anyone else has ever dealt with 4 year olds, but when one set of expectations is set and then pulled off the table, it typically doesn't go well. As I was comforting her, I can hear Dr. Himelhoch in the background tell my child "Well, you don't really have an option" AS MY CHILD IS CRYING. Then, she proceeded to ask if I needed assistance in restraining my child to get her in the seat. Finally, when my child is inconsolable, she suggested getting the infant lap seat. If that was an option, why wasn't that the initial suggestion instead of waiting for the inconsolable child to get to that level. When I finally told them I did not want to go forward to it today as it was out of control at that point, she then proceeded to address my child with a "I'm very disappointed in you for making this so difficult for you mom." WHAT?!?

The staff is great, and just as importantly Dr. Himelhoch cares. There have been at least two incidents where I called in while the office was closed for vacation, and she called back personally and met me in her office outside of work hours. For us, we were looking for someone with the education and experience that she has for our kid's braces. Nothing bad to say, sometimes busy and you have to wait a little but they do keep things moving in the office.

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.

After spending over $15,000 with another dentist and losing multiple teeth, I decided to seek another opinion--and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Making the two-hour drive to see Dr. Whiteman and Karen was absolutely worth it. From the moment I walked in, I felt confident I was in the right hands. Dr. Whiteman's philosophy says it all: "I'm in the business of saving teeth, not pulling them." His skill, knowledge, and dedication to preserving his patients' oral health are truly remarkable. Dr. Whiteman is passionate about his craft, honest in his recommendations, and committed to providing the highest quality care at a fair price. Karen is equally wonderful--kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Together they create an experience that is stress-free and reassuring. I only wish I had found Whiteman Dental ten years sooner. I have complete trust in Dr. Whiteman and his team, and I recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Thank you, Jamie

This is a complete turnaround from the dentist offices that I was used to going to when I was younger! Brand new couches, brand new chairs, brand new...well, everything! You can really tell that the owners here put a lot of work into making sure their clients were comfortable and entertained while they wait. The thing is, there isn't even a wait! Dr. Mkrtchyan is a wonderful doctor to work with. She sat down and explained everything to me in plain English and was able to get me in and out in less time than I anticipated. If you don't like going to the dentist because of confusing atmospheres, smelly offices and uncomfortable situations navigate your way to this office in Belmont.

I took advantage of one of their specials I received in the mail when I lived in Reading and went in. Everyone was kind and I felt comfortable. The dentist at the time informed me I had to have 2 wisdom teeth removed. The oral surgeon they sent me to was AMAZING. My trust was built with Stoneham Dental Care - to have recommended such an amazing surgeon they had to be great as well. I was a pretty basic patient - fillings here and there, cleanings every 6 mos., etc... and then I had a dental disaster in 2014. I experienced an injury resulting in a concussion, loss of a tooth and displaced front teeth. Every specialist was caring and pleasant through the entire process. They saw me cry. They saw me in pain. They saw me irrationally upset over every delay - due to the healing process, not anything they did wrong. Root canal? No issue. Implant? No issue. It wasn't their fault I was having emotional stress from the incident. I have had nothing but positive experiences with any of the staff at Stoneham Dental Care. It's a little costly, yes... but they go above and beyond.
