THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF ENDODONTISTS!…read more Believe it or not, I am about to sing the praises of an endodontist! No reason to be nervous about a root canal, especially if you have a good dentist. I was actually looking forward to having mine! Why? Because I was in a lot of pain for a few weeks BEFORE having the procedure... I wanted it to stop! After some research on the web, I chose Dr. Aboushala based on his stellar reviews and credentials... and I'm so glad I did. Firstly, Dr. Aboushala is all about doing everything he can to save your tooth... I like that. I had a very large area of infection (hence the pain) and he affirmed that a root canal would be the right procedure. He did an amazing job... absolutely no pain. I've had a few root canals before, but this doctor is in his own league. He has a wonderful caring demeanor and explains everything he is doing. He is very deliberate and checks everything along the way in an exacting manor. He takes the time to make sure that everything he is doing is perfect. As the procedure advanced, his professionalism gave me the confidence that I would have a successful outcome. And I did! I was finished with the procedure around 12n and my tooth already felt so much better that night. I could eat soft foods with no problem, and pretty much anything I wanted a couple days later. I was ecstatic! After returning to the doctor's office for a check on it, everything was in good shape, as I expected. If you need a root canal, I can't recommend Dr. Aboushala more highly. He's quite special and I'm so glad I found him. I'm thinking of moving to Florida soon, but if I need a root canal in the future I will no doubt fly back to Boston to see this amazing man who does fantastic work and genuinely cares about his patients.

From my first interaction with the office, I was relieved and pleasantly surprised by how flexible…read moreand understanding everyone was. I called on a Thursday from a vacation because my dentist recommended a root canal ASAP. Dr. Aboushala's office was able to get me in first thing Monday morning. They explained how the insurance worked and took all my information so there wasn't much to do when I got there. Once confirmed that I did need a root canal, Dr. Aboushala said he could do it right then and was very gentle, explaining everything along the way. One thing I was concerned about was the discomfort of having your mouth open for so long, but he kept providing frequent breaks, which really made a difference. They explained clearly post-procedure instructions and worked with me to adjust them so they were right for me. The follow-up the next day was the icing on the cake. So while no one ever wants a root canal, if you have to have one, Dr. Aboushala and his office make it as easy as possible and I highly recommend them.

The adjacent tooth was very painful and the pain was not getting better. There was a concern that a root canal might be needed. Dr Nagel and his team got me in right away and did testing on the tooth, took a 3D scan and reg X-rays. After thoughtful review and with an understanding of medications I am taking he concluded that all would be ok with time. Use the Advil as needed and time will heal the tooth. He was spot on. I appreciated that he didn't rush into a root canal and he really took the time to assess the situation. He saw me a second time, 10 days later just to make sure all ok. So happy my dentist recommended and personally reached out to Dr Nagel on my behalf. Grateful to both

I was very happy with Dr. Wardius and the work went without a problem. I was told what my final…read morepayment would be and received estimate from insurance. Very much like others(Whom have commented) the office staff leaves MUCH to be desired. I paid my bill in full for the amount i expected and had been told. That was my last visit in Sept. In February i received a email saying i owed 470.00 for a CT scan. I paid in full what i was told to pay in Sept. I contacted the office and asked why the first i was hearing about this was 5 months later and the response was i owe the money. I told them i paid in full I paid 5500+ on my final visit. Today i received a call from a collection agency saying i had been delinquent since Sept. and payment was due in full. I pay my bills, excellent credit score and to be sent to a collection agency and effect my credit over there shooty billing is a place i would stay far away from. I also will be in touch with my referring dentist. I hope they enjoy the $470.00 dollars as i am hopeful this will help others not get caught in what seems to be a common sneaky pratice.

I chose to bring my daughter to this practice on the recommendation of our Orthodontist for a…read moresurgical procedure as part of the work with her braces. Her recovery has been good, with no complications to speak of (only two weeks in at time of writing this). So the services provided by Dr. Wardius appear to have met expectations. Unfortunately, the office experience left something to be desired. While a comfortable and soothing ambiance make for nice experience, day of, I was disappointed with poor communication with the office staff around the costs involved. After completing our consult visit and scheduling the surgery I asked for a cost estimate and was presented with expected costs, based on expected insurance coverages. Two weeks later these were updated based on an uncovered service performed at the consult (a CT scan), and I was provided what I understood to be final numbers (assuming that nothing would change during the procedure that would require additional services or coverage-wise from insurance). On the day of the procedure, everything proceeds as expected. No additional services needed or performed and payment requested matches the estimate I had been provided. Two weeks later I am now being charged for a service (the CT scan) that was supposed to have already been accounted for, as I was told that it had been, two weeks prior to the procedure. But they are telling me that I mis-read the email when they said "The balance was added to the patient account." If so, that estimate should reflect that amount. When a customer is quoted a price for promised services to be rendered, and those exact services are what is completed, then that price shouldn't change after the fact. Trying to discuss this with the office manager was the final straw as she was more interested in expediting the call, crossing it off her to-do list and getting off the phone than to honestly hear the concern and frustration that a client had with their experience. This "problem customer" as I am sure to be referenced as behind their closed doors, could have been a learning experience for the team so that they could better understand how to service their customer's needs. Instead it was so much more transactional and disappointing. I will be sure to pass this experience back to the original referring office and to find another practice for my son when he is due up in the coming years.

She was able to fit me in the same day as the referral and confirmed that I would need this. I came back for the procedure a week or so later. Based on what I had heard about a root canal, I was bracing for the worst. However, this wound up being a surprisingly smooth experience. Dr. Shomali is empathic and practical and made this procedure as painless as it can possibly be. I have recommended her to many others since then and do so once again here.

The first doctor messed up badly that caused this whole issue. A couple of years later I tried again, but this 2nd doctor told me that its root has fractured, so nothing can be done but to extract (which wasn't true as Dr. Johnston told me it's not at first glance...). Although it gave me a constant anxiety for about a year I'm so glad that I kept it and decided to see Dr. Johnston one last time. 3rd time's a charm and it's saved! Hooray!!!! Also, everyone in the office is very nice and helpful. I highly highly recommend this place for anyone who needs a root canal.

Dr. Putt has been spending too much time on the golf course (at least that is the explanation by the technicians to why I have not seen him the last 5 years). The front desk now is incredibly rude and condescending. If you don't have the right insurance, get out, if you have a question, we don't have time for this. The last hygenist I saw was yelling at me the entire time, and telling me all about how much her life sucks. The hygenist I saw for many years who was amazing left the practice unfortunately. And when I first joined they were willing to work with me on a dental plan that works for me. Now it is aggressive treatment and pressure sells that requires X-rays every 6 months and deep cleanings. If you don't like it, I was told by the front desk to GET OUT. Ok you got your wish, good riddance.

The best dentist I have EVER been to- and that says a lot (given that I have had a number of dental…read moreprocedures for a tooth gone rogue) Dr. Velyvis embodies expertise, confidence, professionalism, and kindness and I trust him with my dental concerns. Unlike other dental offices where they try to push for aggressive procedures or unnecessary testing/treatments/imaging, he really thinks through your issue and takes things in a stepwise manner. I know there are a ton of dentists in the Boston area- but this office is one of the best. I would recommend him highly for any root canal, root surgery procedures. OR if you need a second opinion. I feel the practice is honest, and thorough. The office is beautiful and although it's a little far if you are coming from Boston or Cambridge, it is totally totally worth it. They also take insurance.
