On a day during which he was filled with surgeries Dr. Blaeser stayed 4 hours late to perform a difficult a surgery to repair the breaks and realign her teeth.We are so grateful to Dr. Blaeser and his 8 person surgical team, all of whom rearranged family plans on a Friday night to care for our daughter. They took the time to explain all of our options and to reassure us in the post op debriefing. When she was injured in southeastern Massachusetts we knew we had to drive hours to Dr. Blaeser's in rush hour Friday traffic, but we insisted on it in the emergency room because we knew he was the best! Honestly, I would have flown her in from any college in the country for his level of care! Sure we will always remember the text/phone call about the injury and seeing her at first sight, but thanks to Dr. Blaaser and his team whenever we see her smile we will remember how she was surrounded by love!

My experience being a patient here for the past few years is that this is generally speaking a good…read moredental practice. There is something I learned, however, that could be valuable to certain individuals. When I found out that Mass General had a dental practice on the North Shore that accepted MassHealth, I thought I had hit the jackpot. "Man's Best Hospital" providing dentistry to (among others) the poor and disabled. Here is the rub. Because MassGeneral is a teaching hospital, some of the dentists in the practice are residents, which means they have not yet completed their training and are therefore in a way not yet full-fledged dentists. Well, do you think MassHealth patients get to pick from any of the dentists in the practice to be their provider? Of course not. The present number of attending dentists accepting new MassHealth patients is zero, which means if you have MassHealth and want to be a patient at this practice, you will have to be treated by a resident. Don't get me wrong, these are talented residents who are supervised by an attending, one would surmise in a similar fashion to with one of the less divided mainstream specialties. But I think it is important for MassHealth patients to be aware that they may get better care if they can connect with a non-large institution tied private practice staffed completely by attending dentists that accepts MassHealth. While there may be a shortage of such dentists in the Commonwealth, the care for this demographic might be better at such an office compared to what's presently available at Mass General.

First they took a bunch of regular xrays. 20 perhaps. Then they wanted and I would NOT LET THEM they wanted to take a Perio Probe...which is a needle like poking tool and check the depth of my gums by poking that thing all the way to the bone. They said this was MANDATORY FOR ALL DENTAL PATIENTS of theirs. I refused and walked right out of there. I came home and looked on google for this peri probe and the ones on google are very thin. The one they tried using on my was 3 times thicker! Why is it in all my 51 years of going to the dentist has no other dentist done that? I have no problems with my gums. They want to do all this BEFORE a separate appointment for a cleaning. Why not wait until the teeth are cleaned before you start trying to push plaque and bacteria down into my bone line. I had to walk out. They insisted they had to do it or I could not get care there. So I had to walk. Deal breaker. Reading the other reviews here it looks like they are into torture. I wish I had read the reviews. I should have known better. Hope I did not catch anything in that office and I have learned a very valuable lesson today. ASK UP FRONT what I should expect at the visit. Every little detail so I don't waste my time. When they say comprehensive exam they mean sticking tools in between your gum and teeth all the way to the bone. Every. Single. Patient. Nope. If I have trouble with my gums then you can do that. Your not gonna push bacteria up to my jaw bone and start new medical issues for me. Its totally unnecessarily to be doing that to people. Especially poor people. I bet thats why you do it based on government insurance. No scaling needed here buddy. Nice try but no cigar!!! I get regular dental care. I thought MGH danvers would be a privilege to be a patient. RUN as fast as you can!

I got an infection from the surgery causing severe pain and swelling for days upon days upon days.

Did the office ever call me back and see how I was doing? No the answer is no. One of my other dentists opened her office with open arms to help me in my time of need into resolve my infection.

I had teeth cleaned and was told at AD "We don't do stains, just tartar." So the new dentist assistant cleaned the stains! Billing is crazy as they are still billing me for 4 years ago when customer service says they can't. Had a terrible experience with one girl in the front a couple of years ago.

Don't recommend this place at all.
