I went in for a cleaning and ended up with much more. First of all I was in the Northshore Mall and…read moreI stopped in to see if I could schedule a cleaning and they ended up taking me that day! I really liked the woman Kerri that cleaned my teeth and then I thought I was done! But she asked if I would mind if the Dentist took a look at a few things while I was there. Turns out I have a lot of work to do. The Dentist (Dr. McDuffee) was great. There was no pressure and he took his time explaining everything that was going on in my mouth to me. I was given all the options but he didn't just say "sign here!" I got to choose and ask questions. This office was a great find and I will be coming back to do almost everything Dr. McDuffee suggested!

I'm 22 years old, and I have been to 5 or 6 dentists in my life before coming to Dr. Gavelis for…read morethe first time today. I had a huge cavity pop up out of no where, and was able to schedule an appointment with him the same day. I went in, and was immediately put at ease by his and his staff's professionalism. Dr. Gavelis explained to me, what he was doing, stream of conscious style, and why, which put into perspective the factors which caused the cavities. Additionally, one thing I hate is having Novocaine injected into me, because more often than not dentists rush shoving the needle into you, or use to much (multiple shots). He was able to hit two teeth with Novocaine in one injection, and unlike other dentists, I wasnt numb for HOURS afterwards, clearly Dr. Gavelis' is well practiced and experienced. I usually dread going to the dentist, but I can honestly say that I could go to a dentist appointment with Dr. Gavelis and my anxiety level would be much less than with any other dentist. Additionally, according to my mother, he has the most modern equipment in the area. I was also impressed with the time and attention he dedicated to treating my dental issues. It took him about 1.5 times as long to do a filling as any other dentist I have had, but it was clear that he was much more patient, and careful then others. Its pretty clear that you get what you pay for as far as dentists on the north shore are concerned. Dr. Gavelis made sure that my cavity was completely free of decay before filling the cavity by using a dye to highlight miniscule amounts of decay. As a result, this filling will last much longer than other's because Dr. Gavelis made sure he removed of all the decay, which otherwise, even if a minsicule amount was left, would come back, erode my tooth, loosen the cavity and require it to be refilled, costing more.

High points: - Excellent staff: friendly, positive, accommodating - Apt reminders by text (crucial for me) - Clean, high tech office environment - WONDERFUL with kids and anxiety On this last point: my child was nervous about having their first cavities filled. (Really nervous. Anxiety began weeks before the appointment. Asking the same questions over and over, and to multiple adults.) Once in the chair, they still had a million questions. Dr. Samiei and his staff answered each one patiently.  He allowed my child agency to ease their nerves (counting down to the Novocain shot, deciding on hand signals in case a break was needed, etc.). The appointment took longer than necessary due to all the questions, but never once did they rush. My child left happy and relieved. Can't recommend them enough, especially if you or your child experience anxiety at the dentist.

I have an unusual allergy that makes some things really difficult and the hygienist was very careful and observant not to cause a reaction of it. They found problems that my other dentist did not, enough to max out my insurance for the year. I've had 1 cavity my whole life before this and they pointed out some ways to bypass any future problems. I guess I have some deep ridges in my molars that were of a concern so they recommended filling them and replacing a filling and rebonding a tooth. Enough to probably max out my insurance when my dentist never did anything at all. He used white fillings on the molars, and I was a bit concerned when I first got my EOB and called my insurance to find out that they only pay for silver ones so you have to pay the difference. Only to find out that they have a policy that they won't actually charge you when insurance does that because they don't want their patients to make the decision based on money! That says something! So basically, they ate $60 in just one visit. Glad I took my friend's recommendation and switched to this dentist.
