Before putting crowns on my two teeth (#18-19), my general dentist suggested that I ask an…read moreEndodontist to check if those teeth need root canal treatment. I found Dr. Goldberg, and made a consultation appointment with him. He took X-rays, examined my teeth, and said one of your tooth definitely needs root canal but the other one does not for now. Then he thoroughly explained what was going on with the tooth nerves inside my gum, why the tooth needed root canal and how the root canal could save my tooth. Dr. Goldberg's explanations were very convincing. Although very much scared of root canal procedure, I decided to go for it. The root canal treatment was completed in 2 sessions each 1.5 hours long (total of 3 hours). I found Dr, Goldberg kind, nice, considerate, caring, experienced and professional in his job. He never was in a rush. He always had time for my questions, and patiently addressed all my concerns and questions. He gave me his email address, his cellphone number and work number, and said feel free to call any time if you have any questions or concerns. During the root canal procedure, he checked on me several times to be sure that I was comfortable and was feeling no pain. Sometimes he made funny conversations to distract my thoughts from things were going on inside my mouth. After Dr. Goldberg got the root canal treatment done, I was so happy and satisfied that I hugged him. :) Two days later, he called me to follow up. What else could I want from a doctor? I hope you all have healthy teeth, but if you need root canal consultation or treatment, I highly recommend Dr. Goldberg!

Premier Endodontics…read more Ok, I usually only write reviews for restaurants so this is new to me. And this may be as important as your next meal in the North End or the Seaport! Like many (or most?) I am not a huge fan of going to the dentist or endodontist! I've had my share of visits and it's never as bad as you're expecting but it's not something you look forward to or look back on fondly..and you all know what I mean! Well, Premier Endodontics at 271 Waverly Oaks Road in Waltham, MA has changed that. From the easy check in with Henry, seamless connection and billing of insurance and any out of pocket expenses, to the explanation of their procedure. I had a short wait and was greeted by Dr Jones' dental assistant, Sabrina. Also, the office and their equipment and stuff seem very modern and the office was impeccably clean and comfortable. Sabrina greeted me and brought me to a room and explained what they would be doing and started with x rays. Shortly after the x-rays I was greeted by Doctor Jones who could not be more personable and professional! She explained what they would be doing to fix my cracked tooth. I needed a root canal and a temporary filling, then a second appointment for the permanent filling, and finally I would go back to my dentist who would install a crown. She also explained that they would first numb my mouth to desensitize it before administering "anesthesia" which I'm guessing was Novocain? When it was time to inject she was obviously more skilled than the last person I had seen years ago..I barely felt a thing! Not sure if technology has progressed but it numbed me up quickly and I didn't feel a thing!! All the drilling, grinding, hands, tools, and suction tube and not a bit of pain or even discomfort!! It is clear that Doctor Jones and her assistant worked extremely well together. They communicated and executed the procedure like clockwork and even played some decent music while they went about their business. (I'd recommend Yacht Rock or Classic Rock as opposed to Metallica or Snoop Dogg!) Disclaimer: They both sing while working and neither of them will ever be a contestant on American Idol! . However...it was very soothing and kind of reassuring of their confidence in what was clearly a routine procedure for them, but can be a bit daunting for 99% of us who cringe when we hear the words ROOT CANAL!! I returned for the second appointment to have the permanent filling installed and it went just as well as the first. The entire staff were so professional and seem like family to each other, which was very welcoming and reassuring to someone who doesn't go to the "dentist" much! I cannot say enough about how positive my experience was with Premier Endodontics and highly recommend them!! Thank you Doctor Jones, Sabrina, and Henry!!

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.

In the last few years Annette has been my hygienist. She is very nice and super gentle. I have receding gums and some sensitivity as a result but Annette is so meticulous, I never feel the cleaning in any of those sensitive spots. The office is relatively newly renovated, so it's comfortable and bright waiting room to sit in before your appointment begins. They're always pretty close to on time. Even in the middle of the day I don't think I've had to wait more than ten or so minutes for my appointment to begin. I always leave with my teeth clean and bright. They're the first to offer me a fluoride treatment for my sensitive teeth/gums despite complaints of the issue for years prior and that's been amazing! They did my full Invisalign program and they were great. My teeth had this issue where when I closed my mouth the top and bottom molars didn't touch. They even offered a treatment that expedited how quickly the teeth move (science!). I see a lot of complaints about billing and pricing. So they do charge you for services. Their services are covered by my dental insurance and I haven't found the out of pocket costs outlandish. Where certain amounts are not covered I receive a bill in the mail after insurance adjustments. Seems pretty standard. While I'm sure they would be able to help a prospective patient determine if their dental insurance was accepted, that is an essential step that you have to take as a patient with any healthcare provider. They are very thorough and I'm sure they charge accordingly. I have been to some shady dentists and the cost reflected that. I agree it's not ideal to have to pay so much for needed healthcare services, but this is less a Newton Dental Associates problem and more a state of American healthcare problem.

The office is full of air filters to protect patients (since dental procedures involve having your mouth open). To add on, his staff is also warm, professional, and attentive.

Stay away from this office. Stay clear please. I just want to be open and tell my story about the…read moreterrible experience I recently went through. I was referred to see Dr. Joseph to have a root canal procedure done. From the very moment we had the consultation; he was rude, confrontational with me when I asked questions and needed reassurance and overall lacked professionalism. It was clear that he didn't care about what I had to say because anytime I spoke, he couldn't keep any eye contact, kept turning away to fidget with different tools and items and kept looking outside the room. I let it slide as I needed the procedure done for two very severely infected teeth which I couldn't tolerate anymore and the office was the only one who could take me in the quickest as all others were heavily booked. So the appointment was made, I went ahead with the procedure, finally, it's over, its done and I can sleep... I was so wrong. About a week later, the same set of two teeth began with aches and pains again. I made an appointment to go back to see what was going on. When I got there, he really could care less. He told me to wait it out and to continue taking my medication that was prescribed and hurried out the office. I didn't want argue and make a big deal out of it; Fine you're the doctor, you know best, I will do that. within the next 3 days, the gums surrounding the teeth started to form painful blisters and leak pus. It was so severe not even the medications could numb the pain and I had to admit myself into the ER. They gave me corticosteroids and I went to get a second opinion elsewhere on what is exactly happening as I was not going back to him From what I was told, it was such a badly botched procedure that if I didn't take action right away, I would have developed Ludwig's Angina or Osteomyelitis within a week and to put a cherry on top of all of this, he billed my insurance twice for the procedure which is dishonest and fraudulent and I'm currently fighting to get that taken care. I have reported this to the Attorney Generals Office and the Massachusetts Insurance Fraud Bureau. Save your sanity, save your stress, and stay away from this dental office. It's not worth the headache and pain, I am not sure how they are legally allowed to run operations like this

Dr. Baek exceeded even these loftiest expectations. He asked intelligent questions and listened to my answers.

Following his examination, he took great care to explain his conclusions and give thorough advice about how best to move forward. At every step of the way, Dr. Baek assured me that he would only recommend procedures he deemed absolutely necessary, and that he would do his best to keep expenses down. I was told I could trust his judgment not to force patients into procedures they didn't need, and I left absolutely convinced that he holds this as a guiding principle. I will be recommending Dr. Baek to any friend who needs a trustworthy opinion and expert analysis, technique, and compassion for the patient.
