I went to another dentist, and he was able to remedy the situation for a fraction of that cost and with a much less invasive procedure. The last straw was my interaction with the periodontist. He "consulted" with me by literally not looking in my mouth and uttering 2 sentences. Then he seemed angry that I didn't consent to have my tooth extracted during that "consultation." It's been several years now, and I still have the tooth. It didn't need to be extracted. Take from that what you will.

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.

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.

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 entire experience was efficient, clean, and smooth from start to finish. The front desk staff were friendly and organized, and the office itself is spotless and calming. Dr. Chen has been absolutely superb. I had to get a tooth extracted, which would normally send my anxiety through the roof. But Dr. Chen walked me through every step of the process with such patience and clarity. He explained what to expect, answered all my questions, and most importantly, made me feel safe and at ease. I never once felt judged for the time I had stayed away from dental care. Instead, I felt supported--and that made all the difference. I'm truly grateful for the wonderful experience and the care I received. If you have dental anxiety or have been putting things off, I highly recommend coming here. Dr. Chen and his team are great!

The office manager that sells the procedures, she is so "slick" and tells you what you want to hear just to get your money.
