Update: My son had an appointment today and needed to have impressions taken for a new retainer. He has had these done twice before and really struggled with it. He suffers from anxiety and, like a lot of people, the dentist can be a very nerve-wracking experience especially when receiving a service that he doesn't enjoy. Eyrusalem took the impressions today and did an absolutely phenomenal job. She kept him calm and distracted and had so much patience with. Great Hill Dental always provides a great experience but this particular appointment was exceptional.

I would recommend literally any other dentist in the area of these folks. The quality of care has…read morebeen so inconsistent and on such a rapid decline I can't even begin to fully review it. Because these people failed to accurately do my medical intake - I almost had a 5k dollar expenditure. I had been a patient at GHDP-Somerville for nearly 10 years. My first dentist was fantastic, he left. My second dentist, fantastic, he left. My subsequent dentists all mediocre to poor. I had a number of primary dentists here, so many changes to my service that I lost track of how many there were. The quality of hygienists, awful. Cleanings took longer stopped being comprehensive - my last cleaning I had to remind the hygienist they missed the entire bottom left of my mouth. The last... and I mean absolute last straw was my experience with Dr. Tsering DMD. I finally decided to move on. After my cleaning, they discovered I had a filling that had failed\broken and were intent on fixing it. As they started taking my blood pressure, I noted several times to the hygienist that they had my sleeve in the pressure cuff, so they weren't going to get an accurate response. I also insisted on them using a larger cuff (I have larger biceps and triceps) to get an accurate reading - they refused, ignored everything I said... and got a bonkers blood pressure reading. They insisted on me getting a primary care visit before they would fill the cavity. A month goes by, I cannot get an appointment. I tried to get it scheduled and was rather rudely dismissed by "Patrick" at the front desk when I called and explained that the tooth needed to be addressed. This was just before Christmas, it took me until mid February (nearly four months from the start) to get a new primary care dr. and a visit who said... the same thing every one of my doctors has ever said "Make sure they are using a right size cuff" I switched to another dentist closer to home - he filled the cavity last week and to quote him "You're lucky, I was barely able to fill this it may still need a root canal, we should watch this very closely" Go literally ANYWHERE ELSE

I'm writing this review because the owner called me and made me feel very uncomfortable on the…read morephone while I was at work, even after I was told that the issue was resolved the previous day. He never asked about what had happened or what I had been told by the office, but just seemed focused on money (as another yelp review states below) and stated that my insurance was "weird" and "difficult" and that they had "lost money" on my like 3-minute cavity check). You need to realize that the office is in a position of power and please be respectful to everyone. A few months I called and was told that they would check on a cavity as part of my next cleaning at no additional charge (because it would take 10 seconds) and they were nice enough to move up my appointment. When I showed up for my appointment, they said they didn't have time for a cleaning and they checked inside my mouth for about 4-6 seconds and said everything was fine. I confirmed before (over the phone and in person) that it would be complementary (because it would take 10 seconds). They then charged me and billed my insurance for a full exam. The reason for this review is that the office has been frustrating and very needlessly time-consuming to work with; in addition to the phone call, on at least 4 different occasions I was told something would happen (we will call you later today of by tomorrow; we will email you in the next few hours) and nothing was done. Emails weren't sent with names in the signature so I was never sure who I was emailing with. In the future, just say "We're sorry this happened. You were told it would be a cleaning but instead we made a mistake with the schedule and we apologize for this. Good news is at we were able to do a 15-second check on your cavity we installed, and because this was only 15 seconds and because you were misled into thinking that it would be a complementary part of a cleaning, we won't be charging you or your insurance for those 15 seconds." All the dentists and orthodontists I had growing up, would check on a cavity that they installed for free if it took 5-10 seconds. If they saw something that looked more alarming we would go from there and possibly book a longer exam in the future. I may delete this review in the future, and wish everyone the best with no hard feelings. Goodbye.

I came in as a new patient expecting the same care everyone should receive x-rays and a cleaning…read more Instead, I was told I needed a "prior authorization" before they would clean my teeth. I knew that wasn't true, and I confirmed with my insurance (DentaQuest) that no authorization was required. I filed a grievance and documented everything in case this office tries to bill for a cleaning they never did. No patient should ever be treated differently because of their insurance or the color of their skin. I feel I was treated this way because I have MassHealth/Medicaid, a low-subsidy insurance plan, and because I am a Black woman as if I was ignorant and wouldn't know better. I remained respectful and polite, but I will not return. If you are a person of color and have MassHealth, Medicaid, DentaQuest, any type of state or government insurance, please be cautious. In my experience, this office especially Dr lang will play in your face, deny you proper care, will bill you for services you never received. Patients deserve honesty and equal treatment, no matter their background or insurance.

CON - Asian male customer service who works at the front desk could be a little more friendlier. Take his time to explain and don't speak sooo fast. I under that having to re-explain yourself several times because of language barrier can be FRUSTRATING but again your job is based on offering a good quality CUSTOMER SERVICE.

So I left, and I went to a new dentist the next day and they saved my tooth with no problem and said the tooth was not broken at all! Besides this, as if anything could be worse, my first appointment they told me to come in one half hour early. So I did and then they just had me sit there for an hour and a half before they finally took me in for my appointment! The place always smells bad, and is dirty. Bad experience all around. You feel like you're in some shack in Calcutta! So depressing... But the owner/dentist is the worst! He clearly doesn't care about his patients when he just wants to pull teeth that can easily be saved! Thank God I ran for my life! So happy now with my new dentist!

The staff is absolutely amazing. They're all very sweet and understanding of your concerns. Everyone will go out of their way to calmly explain to you everything, from the procedures to even helping ease your anxiety and concerns. I only had a cleaning to day (and a very deep one as I hadn't been to the dentist in a long time) and I can confidently say that, even though it was a rough cleaning, I enjoyed it! It sounds weird but it's true! The hot rocks, lavender sheet, and warm pillow really helped comfort me and the music in the background was very relaxing. I really enjoyed my experience here and I never thought I could ever say that about a dentist's office. There is a long waiting list but if you're perseverant and positive, you can get in ahead of schedule! My appointment was supposed to be a year from now but I saw the email they usually send when there's an open spot and quickly replied to their message with my information, which I had typed down on a note in my phone so I could copy paste it quickly on their email message. If you don't do that, odds are someone else will get the appointment. The last time I tried, the appointment was filled within two minutes of having received the email. It's safe to say this office is a popular spot. All in all, amazing place, amazing staff, amazing service! Can't recommend them enough!

Heated neck pillow during the exam, and a warm towel to wipe your face after, it's the little things but hey, I'll take them over not having them!

During the exam, the dentist told me I had 7 cavities, with fillings described as "very deep," and said I'd likely need root canals a pretty alarming diagnosis. The cleaning that followed felt extremely rushed and lasted only about 10 minutes. The hygienist sprayed water everywhere without much regard for where it landed and didn't speak to me throughout. Since then, I got a second opinion from another dentist, who found only 3 cavities and confirmed I do not need any root canals. That's a significant gap between what I was told here and what an independent exam actually found. Between the inflated diagnosis and the rushed, impersonal cleaning, I have serious concerns about the care at this practice and would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to any treatment here.

This whole building feels like a dental factory. I didn't know what floor my appointment was on and…read morethere is no doctor directory, which would be very helpful. Even outside, there aren't any dentist listings, just promotional material. My biggest problem here was the dental assistant setting up instruments and opening sterile bags without gloves. When the dentist came in (I saw Dr. Kafri for a consult), he immediately reminded her to put gloves on, but then he told her to just cover the instruments to use on the next patient. Gross - I decided then and there that this was not the place for my surgery. In addition, I waited 75 minutes to be seen and there was no communication during that time (finally after 45 minutes I asked if it would be much longer and I was told he was finishing up with the patient in front of me). They also messed up the x-rays from my previous dentist; they kindly took one for free but the wall mount was broken so I ended up holding the x-ray machine myself (more scatter radiation, anyone?). Overall, I just didn't feel comfortable having surgery there. I will say that Dr. Kafri was great, and I think he may be good at his job. But his support staff needs work before I would return for any dental work, let alone surgery.
