    Before my new porcelain crowns
    Barbara M.

    I have been going here for many many years. I have seen both Dr. Houske and Dr. Kubo and Lisa the hygienist, and they are so great. They are fair and honest and don't try and add on any extra work that you don't need like many dental offices do. Will never go anywhere else! Also wanted to add that Dr. Kubo gave me a smile makeover that was just beyond my expectations. He gave me 6 porcelain crowns on the front top teeth and they are so natural and amazing!

    Always so friendly and helpful! Great tooth care and staff, they're the best! Dr. Kubo has been helping me and my family for years.

    Walked in and was ignored by 2 staff members, one of whom spoke to someone directly behind me…read morewithout acknowledging me at all. I went in to see if the dentist could help me with a crack in my bridge. He told me he couldn't help me saying "yeah I'm not gonna touch that". I drove an hour out of my way. I had liked his work enough I would have considered him for my bridge replacement but he was so rude that will no longer be the case.

    I've been a loyal patient since 2015. This is not intended as a complaint or negative review…read more Basically it's a reminder to know the cost of services before they're performed. For example the doctor told his staff to conduct a CT scan. Never quoted a price. After I was told it cost almost $1000 but that I'd be charged 50% of their earlier lower price (almost $200). And they proceeded to bill my dental insurance the entire nearly $1000 for the imaging (which my insurance denied). I'm scheduled for extraction and implant early next year but when I asked for the cost I was told they need to calculate it and let me know. I'm still waiting 3 weeks later. I like Dr Tassone as a dentist but there have been times from visit to visit that his diagnosis changes. I don't want to change dentists but now getting teeth cleaning elsewhere. I'm aware opinions can change and different dentists offer entirely different treatment options. What I don't appreciate are my dental insurance benefits getting wiped out before I can blink twice. After that I'm on my own and having to decide if want to pay the high rates.

    So far, pretty good. I had to wait about 30min after my appointment time, but these things happen…read more Dr. Lee was so personable, kind, knowledgeable. Just a very pleasant person to be around and I feel like he truly had my best interest in mind. I am so happy to feel like I found My Dentist. I found them through my insurance's provider website, then called to be sure they take Cigna PPO; they do. My insurance company royally screwed up and tried to say Dr. Lee was not in network. After talking with Jessica, they changed their tune to "Oh actually he is, let's get that re-worked." My only complaint is the $88 charge for "Oral hygiene instructions". I don't think "brush, floss, don't drink sugary drinks" is really $88 advice. If it's the after-care instructions for the gum thing I had done, isn't the after-care instruction just part of the procedure? Why a separate charge?

    Total Rip Off They charged me over $3k for an identical…read moreprocedure I got somewhere else a couple months before for less than $1k. I could understand if it was a little more, every place will have their own prices, but this is just about a scam. And they weren't even willing to talk about it. Also not the consultation and evaluation fees. Beside that, their surgeon, Serge, is just an ape in scrubs. He was so clumsy and rough, banging his metal tools all around my teeth, hitting me in the back of the throat... I've had other people do serious work where I barely knew they were doing anything in there. Can't discourage you enough. Do not go to this office. I'm going back across town to my last dentist.

    I'm a bit heartbroken with this review. First of all Dr Boots is absolutely AMAZING at what he does…read moreno doubt about that. I can agree with those comments that say he's absolutely great in every aspect he's gentle, understanding, and doesn't push procedures you don't need like others do. Almost every time I've gone to him for over 10 years he's been the best with all my dental needs as well as my families. As a small practice I understand why he doesn't take any new clients cause his hours and his family needs are important and I understand that and respect that. When it comes to the front office it can be a bit frustrating & upsetting at times when phones aren't answered during work hrs or when appointments are canceled so last minute. I understand there are emergencies but contacting patients is important as well because they stop what they do to be there on time and part of customer service is communicating that. I've had pretty bad pain these past few days on a top right molar that I'm sure is going to be a Root Canal but I haven't been able to get a hold of anybody. I've called when they just open and have had to come in person during their work hrs and they are closed. No sign as a warning for patients. I understand the holidays are coming and at times they do close but I feel posting it in their front door or something would be the professional thing to do or The Staff taking care of that but at times it seems they don't care. The hours they have on their Yelp doesn't match in reality. I've tried calling several times and it's the same recording since we started coming 10 years ago it rings 2-3 times and then voicemail that It feels they never get to. I don't think I'm asking for a lot to be in the loop and know they will be closed from this date to further noice if that's the case. Maybe a new recording would be great it takes a few minutes to make one that sounds friendly and a bit more professional in my defense. Like I said I'm heartbroken because I really genuinely love coming to Dr. Boots but a bit more effort has to go into the front to feel some sort of compassion or to feel heard when someone is going thru some sort of pain and especially someone who is a recurring customer of 10+ years and has referred so many people here.. As desperate as I am I contacted another Dentist that gave me an appointment for Friday and even sent a text as a reminder and to save on my calendar.. that's all it takes and I felt heard. That's all...

    After my dentist of 24 years retired, I struggled to find a suitable replacement -- until now. The…read moreinterim providers did not meet my expectations for professionalism and patient care. However, Dr. Boots has far exceeded those expectations. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained the necessary treatments clearly and thoroughly, and provided exceptional care. I have complete confidence in his expertise and trust him wholeheartedly to manage my dental health for years to come.
