Was suddenly experiencing throbbing under a couple of crowns (woke me up at night), so worried about infection and potential need for root canal, implant rework, or whatever. Called Schumacher Dental on a Thursday, and Ashley was able to fit me in for the next morning. Dr. Schumacher methodically examined the problem area and ruled out potential causes, as usual explaining what he was doing and what he found along the way. Very thorough as usual. Applied antiseptic along the gum line. Smoothed out my bite splint. Was relieved when he advised that my pain was most likely just a gum inflammation issue, treatable at home by mild antibiotic, NSAID, and more thorough flossing (in-shower type). Already feel much better, with pain/discomfort gone after just a few days. Caitlin, Marianne, and Liz and Lis helped with the process -- always a great team experience at Schumacher Dental. read more

We just began our journey here and couldn't be more confident. Friendly, professional and thorough.

Love Dr. Rob, he took care of me when a root canal went wrong and made sure to fix it with ultra care and was very detailed with my bite and color of crown upon completion. The whole process was efficient and staff was amazing, I highly recommend Schumacher Dental! read more

Did not receive high quality care , Dr. Shumakker was not listening he kept jumping from one patient to another . He x-rayed my mouth then said sorry too it's to advanced for me to figure out read more

Dr. Schumacher put in a crown a couple years ago and everything was great. A few weeks ago, the crown popped off while I was flossing my teeth, and so I gave the office a call. They said they would get back to me but they never did. I ended up going to a different dentist to recement the crown. read more

2 minutes agoNEW-Edit Delete Looking for a dental practice with the rare combination of advanced skills + integrity + dedication to quality care? You found it. Years ago, my oral surgeon said if I wanted to correct my teeth properly I needed to see a dentist with advanced prosthodontics training and recommended Dr. Schumacher. I was delighted to learn he was right here on North Shore. Dr. Schumacher always listens to my concerns, thoughtfully proposes solutions and gives me options. From the first time Marianne welcomes you at the front desk until you walk back to your car (for the short drive home) you will realize visiting the dentist can actually be a positive experience. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Schumacher from the beginning of his practice. I've never encountered such a wonderful group of staff who treat each and every person as a member of their family. Dr. Schumacher leads his team with a standard of integrity that surpass the best. He & his wonderful staff make you feel as though you are their only patient. Care, knowledge, professionalism and an incredible attention to detail. Dr. Schumacher, Liz, Heather, MaryAnn and all the wonderful staff deserve nothing but praise for running the business as they do. Schumacher dental is the gold standard for customer excellence. I have had nothing but positive experiences each and every visit. Thank You read more

Dr Schumacher was recommended to me by an oral surgeon. Dr Schumacher and his staff are all perfectionists that truly care. Willing to listen, offer expert advice and provide top notch solutions. So happy to have made the switch to Schumacher Dental. read more

I've been a patient for many years now and I can't say enough good things about the entire team at Schumacher Dental. Everyone is so professional and caring. I feel like I really matter as a patient and the care I've received is simply the best. If you are looking for dental care in the greater Boston area, this is where you should be. - Dan Michaud read more

I had my first appointment with Dr. Schumacher this week and he was fabulous. Admittedly going to the dentist increase my level of anxiety and once he and his assistant Kaitlyn had this information they went above and beyond to make me feel more at ease. I am a new patient to their office and will be transferring my families care to them. The other office staff are super engaging and welcoming. I had been a patient at another practice and was increasingly disappointed with my care. Dr Rob is informative and listened to my concerns. There is a trust that I was immediately able to build with the practice. I am so happy to have an extremely knowledgeable qualified and supportive dentist team to go to. Thank you read more

The best dentist office I've ever been to in my life! Everyone is super friendly and Dr. Shumacher is incredibly detail oriented in examining previous work that's been done to help diagnose exactly what you need. I've gone to plenty of offices in and around Boston and the level of care is unmatched here. Highly recommend and wish I came here sooner :) read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Schumacher for almost 5 years. He truly is the best dentist I have ever had and truly cares about his patients. He helped me out initially with a bad filling I had done by a Boston based dentist. He took the time to correct the work and listen to my concerns. He's been proactive in treating my gums and has also fitted me with the most amazing night guard to save my teeth from teeth grinding in my sleep. Everything Dr. Schumacher does is of very high quality. Dr. Schumacher never cuts corners. He has state of the art technology and great employees that make the experience of going to the dentist enjoyable. read more

I LOVE my Dentist and the whole office staff, they are amazing. I have an absolute irrational fear of the dentist, that goes way back. I have gone to MANY dentists that are "great with patients like me". But in all honesty I have never found a dentist that truly gets it and instead of humoring me he does everything he can to make me comfortable and not afraid. Even if that means my appointment takes more time than planned. The office is beautiful and the ladies that work there are so helpful, patient and kind. I go faithfully and have never once thought of cancelling an appointment due to fear. I am so happy that a family member recommended Dr. Schumacher to me. read more

Doctor Rob has passion for dentistry and incredibly knowledgeable. He continues to remain state of the art and his practice is excellent. He takes the time to explain what he is doing and why and keeps the best interest of the patient in mind. Heather has been my hygienist for a long time and she is fantastic. read more

Dr. Schumacher and his staff are the gold standard of dental care. They were incredible with my timid 8 year old stepdaughter during her procedure, they made her very comfortable and it was so easy. If you want the best dental care the north shore has to offer Dr. Schumacher is the only option in my book! Keep doing an awesome job guys! read more

The best dentist around town! I needed a lot of work on my teeth! Rob recommended Invisalign to straighten my teeth first for my up coming wedding, which helped move them tremendously fast! Next, we needed a new crown and a veneer on my two front teeth, after a lot of preparing, they turned out awesome! We were on a time crunch and Rob was very patient and explained everything in great detail what the next steps were. His timing was impeccable and you can tell he was very passionate about making my teeth look as natural as possible for my big day! He is very sincere and also has a big personality, which made going to the dentist fun! Furthermore, his office staff our extremely helpful and accommodating! Highly recommended! read more

Schumacher Dental - My teeth looked very natural for my big day! Thanks Rob! - General Dentistry Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Dr. Schumacher and his entire staff are hands down some of the nicest people I have had the opportunity of meeting. They interact with you like you are apart of their family. Dr. Schumacher took the time to get to know me, ask me about my life, and would follow up with me about the things he asked at my next visit. His staff was always warm and made me feel right at home- at a dentist office! Aside from them being some of the nicest people I have ever met, the work they do is outstanding. I am from California and have relocated to Massachusetts for a short time, and I have had awful dental experiences in the past. Dr. Schumacher took the time to explain what he needed to do in order to best help me, while detailing why alternatives weren't the best options. He still gave me the choice in what procedures I wanted to have done, rather than choosing for me. I had a tough time on one of my fillings because he had to use something called a rubber-dam. His team is so wonderful that he personally called me the following day to see how I was holding up. Let me tell you, in a world where customer service is becoming lost, Schumacher Dental gives you hope. I loved every one of my experiences with this fantastic office, and am serious when I say I would fly from California just to have them clean my teeth. I guarantee you will enjoy your experience too! read more

Great hygienist, but Dr Schumacher, while pleasant, is super eager to take a drill to each and every speck on your X-rays. He recommended a ton of fillings plus scaling. After some sticker shock, I got a second opinion elsewhere and found 1/3 of them are unnecessary. She also suggested an alternative to the more painful and expensive scaling since my gums aren't that bad. Her plan will cost thousands less out of pocket and keep me within my insurance limits. I was tempted to give one star because of this, but the quality of his care seems to be pretty good. His bedside manner is pleasant. I think his patients will end up with great teeth in the end. He just didn't make any effort to help me prioritize procedures when I'm working with a $1,000/yr insurance limit. If he tells you that you need 10 fillings, I strongly suggest you get a second opinion. Their necessity is likely debatable. read more

I am lucky to have been referred to Dr Schumacher by my sister. I needed a crown redone that had been done poorly at a different office. My appt. was two hours long and the most relaxing dental experience I have ever had. Dr. Schumacher has the most calming manner about him. Also, he was so kind and respectful to his assistant throughout. Both of them worked in perfect harmony. Dr Schumacher explained everything he was doing while removing my crown and prepping my tooth properly. Every step of the way I knew what to expect. Did I mention how relaxing the visit was? He was so patient during the whole visit. I never felt he was frustrated, or rushed. He was attentive, professional and personable. His assistant was wonderful and also had a calming manner. A truly wonderful experience. My appt. was on a Saturday. I got a call Monday morning to see how my tooth was feeling. I have a temp crown, but honestly it feels like it belongs in my mouth. Dr Schumacher is amazing. Gina Ortiz read more

I was referred to Schumacher Dental for a problem tooth. Dr Schumacher really took the time to go over all options for me. He is so dedicated to his craft, I couldn't be happier. The office and staff are professional and dedicated to their patients. This is an outstanding practice. read more

I have been with Dr. Schumacher since he opened his office in this area, over 5 years ago buying the practice of another dentist, who was very good. I was nervous about the change but there was no let down in the quality of care, it improved, no disrespect meant to the other dentist who was top notch. Having experienced a number of different dentists and hygienists over the past 55 years, there are a few things that sets his practice apart from others. He has one dental hygienist in his office who is by far the best I have ever gone to for cleanings. She worked there with the previous dentist. She is thorough but there is no pain unlike other hygienists who I have experienced over many years. The ones that bring tears to your eyes. I don't think I could ever go to another hygienist, ever. She is young, so she hopefully she will be their for many more years. When you find a good hygienist, stay with them. Dr. Schumacher uses the latest painless techniques. I have not had many fillings and teeth problems. However, when an old filling gave out he uses an isolation technique to keep the tooth completely clean and dry while he applies layers of the porcelain filling material, he works like a sculptor and he was not finished until it felt perfect. Another dentist I went to 10-15 years ago used a similar filling material but caked it on and I had to have it sanded down 3-4 times over the next few weeks, after suffering from headaches when the high point of the filling hit my other tooth. I have recommended Dr. Schumacher to others at my work and they agree that he provides excellent dental care. read more

After having braces as a teen, my teeth eventually spaced out and Dr.Schumacher did my Invisalign to bring my teeth back to perfection! The office was always able to accommodate my work schedule and the appointments were quick. At the end, Dr.Schumacher did no-charge refinements to make sure it all came out perfect, and I'm so glad I did it. I'd recommend him for Invisalign consultations any day. The staff is kind and helpful whenever I was there (sometimes with my busy children in tow!) read more

I had a major job done - 10 teeth, and I have to say Rob Schumacher IS AMAZING. (a) I've never laughed so much at a dentist office. His rapport with his assistant is pure comedy. (b) he is fastidious, and makes sure that the patient's teeth are *exactly* right. Not "perfect" like chiclets, but realistic, and matching the surrounding teeth. (c) if you want to know his level of work...it was good enough to be an instructor for many years at a dental schoo. I can't speak highly enough about him! If you need a tooth repaired or anything cosmetic, go to him!" read more

I'm not a big fan of going to the dentist. It creates a lot of anxiety for me. I just had a crown made by Dr Schumacher and I could be more pleased with the result or my experience. The staff was excellent, Dr. Schumacher is gentle and caring. I highly recommend him and his team! read more

I have been coming to this practice since I was a child, and the transition to Dr. Schumacher was seamless! I was struggling with teeth that had become misaligned after my wisdom teeth came in, and he recommended that I get a retainer instead of a more expensive procedure, which not only saved me money, it saved me time! There was also another instance where a I was having an issue with a filling, and he was able to get me in that afternoon to take a look at it. 2 weeks later he texted me to make sure I was doing okay! Dr. Schumacher is extremely personable, and makes you feel at ease at the dentist. His hygienists are incredible, and the entire staff is very warm and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

I have worked with Dr. Schumacher for about 10 years. During that time, I have had him do veneers for my front teeth that turned out beautifully and have had no issues since I got them. Recently, he spent 4 hours with me to make some temporary crowns I needed looked great. He was patient and friendly during that whole time. Plus his team (I worked with Caitlin) was great! The day after my 4 hour appointment I had absolutely no pain whatsoever. I trust his judgement, work and advice. This is a great practice for both regular dental work and more complicated cosmetic work. He takes great pride in his work and truly wants his clients to look beautiful and feel good about their experience. read more

I just had a filling this morning done by Dr. Schumacher. I've seen him a couple times now, and each time has been an absolute pleasure. I've had some previous experiences with dentists where I felt like they were trying to sell me something at every step and I couldn't tell what was necessary and what was not. Dr. Schumacher on my first visit said, "I would never recommend something for you that I wouldn't recommend for myself or my family." He's extremely knowledgeable, but mostly he's laid back and I enjoy my time there. If you're looking for a Dentist in the Boston area, I would definitely recommend him. read more

I would give this dentist 10 stars if I could. Dr Schumacher and his entire staff are very friendly, and make you feel at ease as soon as you walk in the door. He and his staff are experts at what they do. I admit, I'm not a fan of going to the dentist but this place changed my attitude and at times I forget I'm there for an appointment, and feel like I'm just hanging out with friends. If you are new in town or just thinking of changing your dentist please go here!!! you wont regret it. read more

1. Doctor is a very knowledgeable 2. He always trying to do the perfect job. 3 He is a very warm and treats patients as his own relatives. Go to him! read more

Best dentist I have had in Boston or elsewhere. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Explains everything very well and does not encourage unnecessary treatment or procedures. Makes me enjoy going to the dentist. I have recommended him to all my friends and family in the area. read more

Dr. Schumacher now has a family practice in Lynnfield, MA. He's very "real", doesn't try to sell anything-actually talked me out of an expensive procedure! Dentists could tell and sell you anything-how would you know? and your teeth, you want to keep them, live pain free & smile pretty. HE HAS INTEGRITY! YOU CAN TRUST HIM TO BE HONEST . and best yet, His whole office is full of pleasant professionals who are real people too! GREAT WITH KIDS TOO! read more
