Dr. Sobti was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions in the first appointment and moved quickly to get approvals from my cardiologist and primary care physician prior to beginning just to be sure it would be okay. She did an amazing job with the numbing agents and with the extractions. I had previously horrific experiences with other teeth being removed at another dental place in Boston years earlier. I was very impressed with how kind all of the office staff were and the dental assistants. I would recommend this practice to anyone who needs dental care.

Chaotic and Unprofessional!…read more DON'T GO HERE. The place is owned, along with Arch Dental in Northampton, by a certain Dr. Khan. I needed two extractions and two implants. He told me the cost would be $6,600. Before he did the extractions, I told Khan that because I worked for many years in war zones, both pain and the sight of bleeding are PTSD triggers for me. After the extractions, he told me I was done for the day and I could get up. I went to use the bathroom, looked in the mirror and saw my face utterly smeared in blood. He hadn't even bothered to wipe it off. I said to Khan, "Remember I told you..." and he just grunted and walked away. The entire place is chaotic, people running in and out of various rooms, talking very fast. After receiving the anaesthetic I was left to sit for a while, and in walked the assistant who blurted out, "OH! I forgot you were in here." By the time Khan arrived the anaesthetic was wearing off and I had to have another injection. Khan is obviously trying to become a millionaire by age 40 but he takes no time with his own personal care - his ears were full of white soap residue that he forgot to rinse out, his hair was full of dandruff. The treatment chairs have holes in them. The drawers have the front piece off. More than once during my procedures, they stopped and ran around the place looking for an instrument or a material that they had forgotten to provide in advance. The bone grafts he did, did not "take". He inserted the screws and it was incredibly painful. I was howling in pain. At that point most dentists would say, "I'm sorry it hurts," right? Not Khan - he said, "It's not supposed to hurt!" as if I were faking my pain! He ripped out one implant screw covered in gore, showed it to me, and said, "You are the ONLY ONE who has this problem! It's because you smoke cannabis!" (I have a prescription and do smoke moderately.) I asked some of my friends and co-workers, and actually implant rejection is not all that uncommon.| He then said he would do bridges instead, and shunted me off to a newly hired female dentist who seemed like she was high on something. She at one point prepared to drill on the left side of my mouth, completely forgetting that she hadn't bothered to administer the anaesthetic yet! She insisted she had and pointed to a previously used needle on the tray. It took some convincing to make that lady understand that she had used that needle on the other side of my mouth. EDIT - I forgot to mention that when I was taken into the X-ray cubicle, the informational screen had the images and patient record OF ANOTHER PATIENT. I stood there reading it in front of the technician and she didn't even notice, until I said, "I should not know that Mrs. So-and-So has two implants in the front of her mouth!" The billing department is likewise incompetent and couldn't even give me a balance owed. When my procedures were finally finished, I told them very frankly that I was displeased with my care and wouldn't be coming back. The hygenist answered me snottily, "Well you are certainly free to go somewhere else!" I sure will. And you should to.

But now I'm driving 45 minutes one way, to receive the wonderful, honest treatment we all deserve. From walking in the door my first time, to leaving was quite pleasant. A friendly staff that made me feel comfortable, as I am terrified of the dentist. I saw a guest hug one of the dental assistants goodbye when I came in. That was a first. They helped me with my parking as I was unfamiliar with the area and even put quarters in the meter for me. Never underestimate a second opinion. I was told by my previous dentist that my tooth had to be pulled that had a previous root canal done. Dr. Elfman assured me that that wasn't the case. And a week later I have a new crown instead of a hole in my mouth. I'm so relieved. His demeanor was gentle and kind. And I got to see my new tooth being made right in front of me. Very efficient office. Very accommodating to the times and days that work for me. The dental assistant, Debbie, talked me through every step in detail, so I understood what was going to happen next and was kind and considerate of my feelings as again I struggle with going to the dentist. I understand nobody loves going, but I'm truly scared. They showed me all kinds of pictures of my teeth which was helpful in understanding my mouth. Debbie even gave me a little squishy school bus toy to hold on to that made me laugh, to fidget with through the process. The little things. I'll be going back to this dentist from now on. I thank them so much for everything. Dr. Elfman and his team are one of a kind. Tanya

The tooth had to be extracted, and I was in pain over a week. I was advised to replace bridge I had would cost a certain amount, I felt the price was too high. So, while he was addressing one issue, I asked if the price could be lower. He went back and forth what would be needed. He kept bragging how he was the best dentist. Finally, when he realized I would not go for price he stated. He stated he could do nothing. At my last visit for teeth cleaning, a different person than the one I had been accustomed to did my cleaning. This woman did not explain things well, was extremely rough, and never gave me a breather. She started to floss my teeth, and I had to stop. When I went to the receptionist, I was very angry. I was not going to say anything. Then, this totally unprofessional woman goes to the receptionist and says she (meaning me) just got up and left. At that point, I got mad and stated why I was so angry. Woman then says that she was cleaning my teeth (that justified her extreme roughness) and at that point I lost it. She then says why didn't you say anything-I just looked at her (how can someone say something when something is in their mouth). Then, she and the receptionist go running to the dentist like two idiot children. At that point, I left. Finally, I cannot comprehend how this dentist was ever rated number one.

I noticed a poor review for this dental practice (somewhere recently) and hastily entered my own…read morenegative experience with one of the office staff. Since then, I haven't been able to forget that hasty post. Other than the one office staff that is outright rude, and one dentist who is full of charisma personally, yet clearly doesn't seem to care about his dental treatment of my mouth (hence I avoid him), what good is the charisma? I should ABSOLUTELY offer my views more accurately on the rest of the staff. The office help (minus one, probably someone's cousin or sister) are without a doubt the kindest people one could encounter. They truly go out of their way to accommodate, make me & my spouse feel cared for, and are always exceptionally polite. Absolute dreams, 99.9% of the office staff. Re Dr. Bill? He is a dentist. I am not. So how can I assess? Well he has more designations than nearly any dentist I know of. DMD, FAGD, MAGD, and always tries to be in the office, even if I am only getting a cleaning. I hope (wonder sometimes) that this is to check my teeth and not for fear I might upset someone. My direct nature and tone though unintentional, rubs some the wrong way. Tho I would be the first to stop and help anyone incl. a stranger change a tire, use my Triple A, or drive them wherever they need to go. Yet my tone doesn't tell people that, yet I don't even hear it. What I do hear is Dr. Bill always surprising me with a joke, as soon as he enters the room. Nearly always taking me by surprise, as he is so intelligent, & with such a dry wit. He further Hums when working on my teeth. Who hums today while working? Few today love their profession, to the point of humming thru same. I do spend a lot on my teeth. I have had to re-do crowns. I have no knowledge of dentistry, so I just trust that he is doing a good job. Yet if 99.9% of his staffs kindness, or his, is any indication, I should not have let one person's bad review, cause me to chime in (without thinking) about the one staff person who intentionally insults me. The remainder of his staff, are giving "20th century Customer Service", in a time when all too often we encounter "Generation Millennials". As far as Dr. Bill is concerned, again, I have no idea about dentistry, yet if his designations, kind joking manner, and humming his work away, is an indication of the person... you cannot do better. So wherever I chimed in after reading another's review without thinking, That's what it was... My "not thinking" & truly appreciating how lucky I am to be tended to by his terrific staff.
