I called and they said they had a cancellation two days later if I could make that appointment. I took that appointment. When I arrived at the office two days later, they told me I could not be seen and that they left me a voicemail about needing a referral, which I don't need under my insurance. I confirmed they could not see my newborn and left with my screaming newborn. They were insistent on having left me voicemails, but when they read my cell phone number back to me, they had the wrong number on file, so someone else received the voicemails. Perhaps they should confirm contact details. To continuously insist they had left me a voicemail in a rude tone when I had told them I didn't was very frustrating. Do they really think I would get a cancellation voicemail and then cart my screaming newborn to their office for the fun of it? Pretty annoying when you help out by taking a cancellation and they don't have their ducks in a row as to what is needed for an appointment and then they leave a voicemail on the wrong number and you've carted your newborn around for no reason. Super unprofessional, and frankly, the ladies at the front desk were super rude instead of apologetic since they had messed up. I will not be going back here as they are clearly incompetent and recommend you look elsewhere as well. If this is how they treat a prospective new client, how would they treat you once you're actually a client? I don't want to find out.

I hadn't been to the dentist in far too long. Came across Dr. Carmichael when looking for…read moreparticipating dentists under my plan. Making a first appointment was easy as anything. He found a few things that needed to be dealt with, as I expected. He took care of everything that needed to be taken care of and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Carmichael is good at what he does, his staff is friendly and skilled, and - most importantly for some - he, his assistant and his hygienist all have great senses of humor and are great at putting you at ease. His services are reasonably priced as well, and if you need work done that's more serious (think root canal or oral surgery) he has a network of specialists that he personally knows and will refer you to the best person for your needs. I went to Dr. Carmichael after looking at a list of dentists near me and taking a shot in the dark, and that shot absolutely hit the bulls-eye. I am extremely happy with the care I get and highly recommend him to anyone in the area who is looking for a great dentist.

However, multiple fillings I had done have cracked within 12 months. The new dentist I think perhaps is trying to market to a different clientele...while I was in the chair having a filling fixed, I was accosted to sign something on an iPad saying I would pay the bill lol. Every bill for the prior dentist I had paid immediately upon receiving. Also, how are you positive what my insurance is going to reimburse? I just felt it was tacky. I had a filling fall out and made an appointment to have it fixed. I show up, wait past my appointment and then am told that they were just going to look at my tooth, not fix it. After pointing out the girl on the phone assured me I could have it fixed, the dentist begrudgingly agreed to fix it. It was the most painful dental experience of my life. I also cannot chew on this tooth ever since. Lastly, I was told I had several teeth that needed fillings and was going to have those done. I switched dentists and my new dentist in Lynnfield assured me my teeth are healthy and do not need fillings...odd. I'm sad that I have to change my review because I did personally like the previous dentist, but based in the quality of the work of multiple broken new fillings, how the buyout was handled and quality of the practice since the buyout I wanted to update my review to more accurately reflect my experience

That's not true. They don't have that. Also, according to the dental hygienist, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. YOU MUST SUBMIT TO THE X-RAY!! Ya, I told both the hygientist and dentist that need to work on their informed consent. I was going to walk out but then they had the dentist do the cleaning instead. That dentist definitely needs to stick to his day job - which shouldn't be dentistry. He kept dropping the instruments on my arm. When he flossed my teeth, he couldn't really get the floss between some of the teeth. Apparently they aren't equipped with sinks so you get have to swallow or get vacuumed up - which he didn't really know how to do. Family Dental is basically what's wrong with dentistry. It's about the money they can get out of you. Not you or your health.

I've been going to Stoneham Dental Care for over 20 years. This practice has become like family. I…read morewas fortunate that I always had decent relationships with my dentist growing up, but when I moved to MA I had a hard time finding a new one. I took advantage of one of their specials I received in the mail when I lived in Reading and went in. Everyone was kind and I felt comfortable. The dentist at the time informed me I had to have 2 wisdom teeth removed. The oral surgeon they sent me to was AMAZING. My trust was built with Stoneham Dental Care - to have recommended such an amazing surgeon they had to be great as well. I was a pretty basic patient - fillings here and there, cleanings every 6 mos., etc... and then I had a dental disaster in 2014. I experienced an injury resulting in a concussion, loss of a tooth and displaced front teeth. Every specialist was caring and pleasant through the entire process. They saw me cry. They saw me in pain. They saw me irrationally upset over every delay - due to the healing process, not anything they did wrong. Root canal? No issue. Implant? No issue. It wasn't their fault I was having emotional stress from the incident. I have had nothing but positive experiences with any of the staff at Stoneham Dental Care. It's a little costly, yes... but they go above and beyond.

I have had some issues with my mouth after spending the majority of my adult life thus far in the military, and having moved around a bit and been to a couple of private practice dentists I am confident in stating that Future of dentistry is the best. I can't even describe all of the great things they have done for me from always knowing my name seemingly without looking, to making sure that I get the specific (SLS free) Prevident that I need, to the oral cancer screenings they do with this "laser thing" - they are awesome! And...when it comes to restorative procedures I have had fillings done by Dr. Findly & Dr. Cowell and they are both rock stars. If you are the least bit nervous about getting fillings, they make it so much easier. Dr. Cowell especially; having had to do two fillings on my back molars (which are generally pretty uncomfortable to have done anyway); did an awesome job despite some difficulty getting me numb at first, which I can only imagine would have been terrible had she not known exactly what to do. So again, if you're on the north shore this is absolutely the general dentist you want to go to. They really are as good as it gets!!!
