I have to admit, I was overwhelmingly surprised. To me, other than complete proficiency in your profession, the most important thing about a dentist is the comfort factor. When you walk into Ficociello's office, you are immediately at ease from the intimate brick interior and the subtle pulse of music from the radio. The receptionist is an older woman, whom I believe to be one of the Ficociello's in the namesake. She is wonderful at calming jittery nerves (such as mine) and their service is swift and accurate. Dr. Ficociello himself works efficiently and speaks to you - and not DOWN TO YOU - like I've had at other dentists (ahem, Boston Dental). He explains with care what work you need done and he doesn't try to gouge you or your insurance for services. I felt right at home with Dr. Ficociello and hope those out there who need a dentist take me up on this recommendation. I repeatedly thank my coworker for this selection!!

I left West Somerville Dental after much aggravation and saw him for a second opinion. I am now transferring my records to his office as he took the time to explain my options, explain his opinions, and made sure I understood fully about all my options.

Within a week he had an appliance for me to wear that improved my appearance. After extensive research, this appliance (Essix) should cost maximum $450 and should include the office visit and fitting. I was charged a whopping $1676, more than three times the average cost. My insurance covered none of it. I am taking my business elsewhere because he quoted me a price of $7000 to fix the tooth and even suggested full mouth reconstruction, which no dentist had ever mentioned before in my life. Unless you have money to burn, I would suggest finding another dentist.

I went a year without a dentist because I didn't know where to go in the area. I found Dr…read more Kosmidis through my dental insurance company's website. I've been a patient for three years now and I've only had good experiences. Sherice at the front desk is always helpful with reminding me of appointments and answering my insurance/billing questions. Vanessa is a good hygienist. She and the other hygienists have convinced me to start flossing for the first time in my life. Their office is convenient to my office in Kendall Square and with an early morning or lunch time appointment, I don't miss any work. They have been ready for me on-time for each of my visits. Dr. Kosmidis has filled two of my cavities and installed one crown. (I think it's called a crown... maybe a "cap"... whatever) Each procedure as well as all my cleanings have gone well. I'm not sure what else to review about the dentist. Oh, he has a cool CAD/CAM mill that he used to fabricate my cap (crown?). As an engineer I enjoyed watching the machine create my new tooth part from a white block of ceramic.

On October 17, 2022, I had an appointment with Dr. Dmitry Merzon in…read moreArlington, Mass., for an evaluation related to getting one or two crowns. He attempted to numb my gums with an injection prior to probing the teeth to see what needed to be done, The first injection had no effect. A second and third injection over 45 minutes also failed. Dr. Merzon then said that I would need to return on another occasion and that Gail, his assistant, would call me on the next day to schedule a new appointment. I waited three days before calling for an update. I then spoke to Dr. Merzon, who informed me that he had sent a letter stating that his office could not treat me. I asked for an explanation, but he merely repeated that he could not treat me. I went to another dentist, who was able to numb my gums and perform all of the necessary work without any difficulty. Dr. Merzon, in my opinion, is unfeeling and robotic; and I wonder, of course, why he was unable to perform the work. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Fortunately, Arlington Dental had plenty of time slots available and booking was super easy on ZocDoc. The office is clean and modern, however, the front desk staff was less than knowledgeable about health insurance. I was told my dental insurance was expired (which it wasn't)​ but was an obvious error on their part. Overall, the procedure was quick, easy, and painless. Dr. Kaveti is incredibly smart and skillful. She quickly ran x-rays, did a thorough cleaning, and filled my tooth in less than an hour! Plus, I didn't have to deal with the usual "make sure you brush twice a day to avoid cavities." I can honestly say, I'm looking forward to my next appointment!

I am a huge fan of Dr. Rusnock. After being reminded repeatedly for 2 years by my dentist that my…read moregums were receding, I finally bit the bullet and went to Dr. Rusnock for a consultation. I was already hesitant because he was out of network with my insurance, but I decided to go to the consultation, at the very least, since he was so highly recommended. I am so glad I did. Within 30 minutes of extremely detailed explanation, full of laid out options and risks, I knew I wanted him to be the one to perform my gum grafts. I left feeling well informed about what I needed, what to expect, and how to proceed. I didn't feel pressured and he made sure I clearly understood what I was getting myself into. I scheduled my gum graft for a month out and sat in my anxiety as the day approached. As per many occasions in life, the event itself was way quicker and simpler than built up in my head. Dr. Rusnock talked me through the whole process before starting and got to numbing me up as soon as I was ready. Once that was taken care of, he quickly got to work and gave me updates as he went (we're about halfway done, only one step left, etc.) with the gum graft process taking only about a half hour. Once done, he gave me a few last reminders and I scheduled my follow up. Everyone in the office was extremely friendly, empathetic, and answered all my silly questions (so when can I eat a steak?) and encouraged me to reach out if I needed help. Luckily, I didn't, but it was nice to feel like I could reach out and get support if I needed it. As I walked out, I couldn't believe I'd walked into his office less than an hour before. At this point, I'm not even entirely healed yet and still have one more follow up scheduled but I couldn't wait to write this review to share my experience and recommend his office. I know exactly who I'm going to for my next gum graft. If you're in need of a great periodontist who is friendly, well informed, and really funny, this is where you want to go!

He makes sure you understand the reason behind the procedures and that really helps.

The procedure itself was quick and easy, I couldn't wait to go for the next appointment.. Not exaggerating either.

My impression of…read moreDr. Hornung, who I met for the first time today, he is one of the uppermost skilled medical professional I have experienced as far as I can remember. He explained to me my options in a very clear precise way without any medical jargon. As result of that, his explanation helped me make the best possible decision about my oral needs and my finance as it relates to the excellent service and care he provided today. The only downside, my procedure started 20 minutes late despite arriving more than 30 minutes early which meant I should have deducted one star from his awesome service. So why did I still rate Dr. Hornung at Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons with 5 stars? It is because he called me personally over the phone that same evening, a personal call, to see how I was doing. I was like, wow! That has never ever happened to me in my entire life where the doctor calls you back to check on you to see how you are doing. BOOM! 5 stars. The procedure was done before I realized it was ever even started. I was very comfortable during the entire procedure. The meds he prescribed were ready for pick up at my local pharmacy when I arrived home. I took the meds he prescribed as recommended. I feel nearly pain free and relaxed. I strongly recommend Dr. Hornung at Merrimack Valley Oral Surgeons! Like I said earlier, it was great day!
