Inside the waiting area.

I was apprehensive about going here initially because it's so fancy. I thought maybe the staff would be mean, but I'm so happy to say that wasn't the case at all! Don't get me wrong, the place is very fancy with its modern waiting area and tv screen on the ceiling, but the staff are extremely friendly and kind! Every single person I interacted with was so nonjudgmental and really took the time to talk to me to make sure I understood what was happening, what my treatment plan would look like, and most importantly the cost of everything. I feel really confident in going here now and I'm so happy I decided to take the chance. For reference I had a cleaning/exam and will go back for fillings and crowns.

I absolutely loved my experience here, I used to have a lot of anxiety going to the dentist in the past, but from booking to check out I felt like my needs and comfort were always priority with Tend. This location is so convenient, right off of the red line. Big shout out to Jen for making me feel at ease and thoroughly talking through all of my concerns, her kindness and professionalism was the perfect start to my day! I genuinely can't wait to go to the dentist again!

Everything I've been waiting for in a dentist! Tend is the One Medical of dentistry - but even more modern. It felt seamless from making an appointment and understanding what it would cost me (spoiler - nothing!) to checking in, understanding how it works, getting care, and walking through what was next. They've got Warby Parker sunglasses to minimize lighting, dedicated space for your stuff, ceiling TVs, mounted TVs with your personalized information (including the ability to see your tooth pics!), and state of the art technology. Oh, and everyone I interacted with was awesome!

I found out about Tend via TikTok and knew i had to look into it. I've been looking for a new dental experience and this seemed up my alley. The lobby greets you with their friendly staff and amazing decor. My hygienist, Erin, met me in the lobby. She made me feel comfortable and walked me through how things were going to go. She was very kind and overall gentle during the cleaning. They use new technology for X-rays and some new equipment that didn't seem so "archaic" that made I hadn't seen before and was pretty neat. I watched some Netflix while I was lying down (with some Ray Ban-esque sunglasses on). I'm so glad I have a dental office that I look forward to visiting because it feels so "trendy" lol.

Nice zipper dental bag.

I am a college student in Boston. Fortunately, I am still in the 'no cavity' club, but I do need two wisdom teeth removed once I am back home miles from here. However, one of the teeth decided to shift causing me painful fits. I have such a workload these next few weeks to close out the semester and now suddenly this. I did a quick search, found Tend - Kendall. At 8am, I requested an online emergency appt. I was scheduled for 12:50pm same day. Got a text message there's a glitch with my insurance. Called the office. Oops, user entry error. Got that sorted. Tried to arrive 10min early but Boston traffic pushed that a bit. I was given a dental care kit in a nice zipper bag. Nice looking office. The staff was caring about my pain and treated me very well. The amazing doctor took care of me explained my options. On my way to the drugstore for a little Rx and bam just 5 hours later and life is much less painful. Thank you very much, Tend - Kendall. A great outcome for this college student being thrown this adulting experience.

5th phone call.  30 min and no help!

Ok, let me start with my complicated Orthodontics history…read more This is my 3rd time getting braces (ya, no kidding). My first braces experience in elementary school was with Orthodontics students due to budget concern -- of course that didn't go well and they started me on a second round treatment right afterward. The supervising dentist at the time even told me that I didn't need retainers. So after getting into my 30s, my teeth alignment is out of place again. Now I have open bite. So I decided to do braces again. I went to 2 other orthodontists for consultation before choosing Arlington Orthodontics. One was widely referred by colleagues but her practice was too far, and her quote wasn't as competitive. Another was way too pushy in selling their service and even told me they can expedite the process from 20 months to 14 months. If you know something about adult teeth, you never want to rush your Orthodontics treatment. It can cause the root of the teeth to shrink, which can result in tooth loss. Dr. Lind green was the only orthodontist who spent the resources to take dental X-ray and 3D scan of my teeth among all these consultation, and free of charge. He spent a good amount of time to explain how prior ortho treatment shortened my tooth root, and how he'd adjust treatment to me. He was honest up front that I may not be able to complete treatment should they find my root shortened to a dangerous length. (He said he'd X-ray my teeth to monitor treatment). I chose an honest orthodontist, knowing that I'd be in good hands. No other ortho has taken the time and patience to explain to me. After all, I am he one paying for the service! Oh, the reclining chair, AC, and music makes a good short nap during my braces appointments. Haha.

Upgrade more issues…read more Dentist. Lindgren also deliberately made my top teeth wider than my bottom teeth, resulting in misalignment. Now, all four top teeth have root canal issues, and the cost to fix this is over $20,000. On top of that, he used an intense light that left dark spots on my lips after drying the glue. It seems he did all this intentionally, with these problems only becoming apparent years later. I recorded all my visits and can provide proof if necessary. Dentist. Lindgren falsely claimed I cursed his staff, which is completely untrue. If I had, I would ask him to specify exactly what was said and to whom. I urge him to do the right thing. This behavior is unprofessional and immature. Dentist. John Lindgren and his wife, both highly educated and quick to defend themselves, seem skilled at deflecting criticism rather than addressing the real issues at hand. Despite their credentials, their behavior throughout my treatment was unprofessional and disrespectful.

Katie Klein has been beyond amazing for my 2 daughters and myself! She has been seeing my girls…read moresince they were very young. My daughters needed a lot of work: pallet expanders, teeth extractions, gums lasered, multiple rounds of braces etc. Katie treats every patient like they are family. Her bedside manner is impeccable, and she personally calls patients to check in after most appointments, I just started Invisalign myself as an adult. The process has been so smooth and she is always there to respond quickly to any and all questions. In a world where most medicine is not personalized anymore and we are just a number as a patient, Katie makes you feel special and heard! I couldn't recommend her more!

These days I have very little time to dress and shower forget about writing a review but when it…read morecomes to Katie Klein Orthodontics, I had to speak up. I am so sad that my two older sons did not have the opportunity to be patients with this practice. But I am SO grateful that my youngest son, who not only has sensory issues but who struggles tremendously with challenging, new experiences let alone ones that are not always very comfortable or pleasant, has had Katie and her staff for his braces journey. This practice is a more than a giant head and shoulders above the other two experiences I have had with orthodontists. The others were kind, professional and got the job done. ?!?! So, why is Katie so much better? It is hard to put into words how caring, honest, skilled and straightforward this practitioner is without seeming to be exaggerating. But I kid you not... she is the genuine article. Let's start with her ability to make it all look easy. The place is relaxed, clean and as she is chatting away like a good friend you are watching her expertly navigate your child's mouth and any trace of anxiety or discomfort. She makes incredibly difficult tasks look effortless and she smiles through it all. And of course, we need to talk about money. It is transparent from the get go. Financial plans and options are made available and you truly understand not only the cost but the cost benefit... every step of the way. Nothing is hidden, disguised or short-changed. And the highest quality of care is just her standard. What you are hoping for, as well as the reality of achieving this end result with realistic timing of outcomes, are explained clearly and expertly. Even more importantly, your child will be heard, attended to, motivated, supported and ultimately successful at Katie Klein. It is all the somewhat invisible intangibles.... A beyond accommodating front desk staff, frequent appointment reminders and yet no guilt or shame inducing practices when appointments are accidentally forgotten or simply missed due to a myriad of circumstances. It is all the big tangibles. You have an emergency? Or need a last minute appointment? You are not told they accommodated you. You are simply accommodated. Katie Klein and her practice are different, because she is that lightning in a bottle kind of Doctor. Real, compassionate, excellent, hardworking, non-judgmental and true to her word and ethics. You want her in your life. Your teeth and/or your child's teeth will thank you. Sure, you may leave many orthodontists with an externally beautiful smile. But it's the smile on your face that comes from working with a true heart that cares for you and your loved ones from the outside and the inside, that stays with you from here.

So my son, who's a freshman in college, sent me a text last week that his retainer wire broke…read more Unfortunately, it's not something that can wait until he comes home to California during break. He contacted Cambridge Orthodontics and was seen by Dr. Samadani. Like a one reviewer posted, I was also concerned about the cost (college is expensive enough). And just like said reviewer, I was also surprised when he said Dr. Samadani fixed it for free! He said it did not take long either and they were super nice.

I would trust Dr. Sadamani's professional opinion and advice and wholeheartedly recommend Cambridge Orthodontics to anyone looking for an orthodontist! I've had my permanent retainer for 4 years before one side of my wire came popped off, which impeded my eating. I couldn't go to my orthodontist because he is based in California, so I called around to multiple orthodontic offices in Somerville and Cambridge area. Cambridge Orthodontics was able to get me an appointment within 5 days of my call, compared to other places that offered appointment slots a month out from when I called. I appreciate that they understood the urgency of my situation and tried to get me in at the earliest time possible. The visit itself was nothing short of a pleasant experience! From the staff members who aided with different parts of my procedure to Dr. Samadani's consultation, everyone thoroughly explained to me what they were doing every step of the way. Dr. Samadani was especially thoughtful in explaining the different options I had for my permanent retainer. Frankly, my biggest fear was going to an orthodontist's office that I am not a regular at and be ripped off. I was on guard that they would tell me to replace my entire permanent retainer rather than repair just the broken part. Dr. Samadani was really honest about the state of my permanent retainer and I felt that she suggested the most practical option for me moving forward. I truly appreciated her honesty and integrity most about my experience with her.

As an adult patient, getting braces was not on top of my fun things to-do list. However, from the moment you walk in to the practice, you are treated like a part of the team as the staff always greets you by your name and make every visit an enjoyable one - even when they are tightening your braces! Dr. Lin is patient, professional, caring, personable and very thorough. He cares about his patients as individuals and ensures your questions are answered thoroughly. The man knows his stuff! Deb is incredible! She remembers every little detail and is just unbelievable in her craft. She is caring beyond belief, super funny and always ensures that you are extra comfortable- even when she knows that the procedure you are about to have is not so comfy. She is like a mom/aunt/sister to all and the practice is so lucky to have her on the team! I could go on and on about each and every member of Dr. Lin's team and how amazing they are but this review would get super lengthy. I will say this: If you need orthodontic care, do yourself a favor- visit this practice and then you can see and experience their professionalism, care and magic touch for yourself! Worth every penny!
