20 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Boston, MA (2022 Updated)

I took the CNA ‘Plus’ programme there back in October 2021. For $2395 we never got a clinical! And the facilities and equipment provided were unbelievable! One mannequin with its leg falling out and not even a proper night gown to keep it from being exposed! Sheets were dirty! Equipment faulty, and now we are STILL waiting to take our state licensure exams! If you’re taking the CNA programme, do not take the “plus part” it is a waste of money and time. The instructor is very compassionate and hardworking and honestly the reason why I kept on going. Otherwise, it’s just a money grabAaliyah Davis

State Street U is amazing. I attended 22 years ago and stopped by for the first time since then and I was amazed to find, updated buildings, a beautiful store, and a whole new feel. The professors and professionals were mostly great when I was there and though I don't attend, I had a chance to talk to administrators and they are still amazing. It is a fantastic education at a great price. If you are looking for a great community college, look no further than STCC. I'm proud my children and family are attending to make their lives better.Paul Goodchild Ph.D., CPA

Great school with the absolute best teachers. Mr. Crowley, my English teacher, was really amazing and reignited my love for writing. It also offers great programs, like the student ambassador program, that really lets you get more involved in the school activities, and allows you to make the most of your experience at STCC.Rebecca Lasky

I do not recommend this school to anyone. There was a lot of grade school style homework and a broad spectrum of effort put in by my professors. Most of my homework was distributed digitally by the respective text book's website — NOT the professor. This created a huge disconnect when discussing homework issues in class. It was frustrating knowing my professors were not curating our homework, rather, it was being outsourced by a subsidized textbook. Their job is to educate, but remember they are there to make a profit. I could not afford my bill so they sold my debt to a collection agency.J s

My first college experience was here and it wasn't a particularly good one. The building is nice with a very comfortable atmosphere, though the parking lot is a nightmare. There is not WiFi through the entire building, which is infuriating for a student with an on campus class that is also entirely on the internet. I feel like for the moment, the school is having a bad time transitioning to technology. Staff is ridiculously friendly and helpful, unexpected for a place in Gardner.Vertigo

Great school. but I think if we're paying $300.00 for a book and paying $8.00 on top of that for shipping a signature should be required from UPS and some type of insurance on it. So cases like your book being stolen off your front steps don't happen. Then actually getting in contact with someone to help replace it is even worse. Bookstore pretty much said I'm on my own. I've lost track of how many voicemails I left.S Siep

I work here as staff and find the working environment pretty good. My bosses have been good, my coworkers are dependable, and the students seem well behaved and conscientious (most of the time). The new buildings are nice, and the harbor walk is kind of amazing, and the beach is very chill. Good luck finding a place as tranquil anywhere else near the city. There is however one small con and one big con.. the small con is that there aren't that many places to eat and Sodexo runs all the food on campus, and their attempts at ethnic foods are sad. And the aforementioned big con is that there is no less than 3 buildings being built on this tight peninsula right now, and one huge building that was taken down over the year I've been here.. the construction is a mess. Though the new, finished buildings, like the science complex, are great. But if you can take the T somehow, as I do, this place is fantastic.Mikhail M. Nitko

UMASS Boston has a Beautiful campus on the waterfront! It is building two Brand new buildings as student housing with a dinning hall on the first floor, overlooking the Boston harbor with a million dollar view. UMASS Boston has a collaborative research program with Dana Farber Cancer Institute that students can be a part of. I love the new Integrated science center, incubating many New exciting NIH sponsored science research studies. It is an exciting time for UMASS Boston which has a new chancellor with generous scholarship. Chancellor merit scholarship will allow students to get world class education for free.Khuong Nguyen

I am a student here at UMB, the professors are great. The administration is bureaucratic and inefficient and lacks transparency on any basic level. Parking here is dependent upon arrival time. If you get here at 10:20 good luck finding a space in bayside, probably will have to park at the globe. Clinical placement sites for Nursing are good, labs are good, the school is constantly under construction and areas are always being blocked off. Parking will soon cost between 9-15 dollars a day according to emails from the uni. So it’s alright but the university is slowly draining the life of its commuters.Bill Whitney

Went here during 2013-2014 for my associates in marketing, its an alright college. Tho my only bad points I remember from this is the intern job finder guy was really rude and I had other people who told me they had him too and he was rude to them as well. another bad point was one of the class counselors who made me take an unnecessary course and told me if i didn't take it i wouldn't get my degree only to find out that they lied and i didn't need to take that course (no refunds of course). Last bad point I remember was one of the job counselors who said they would help me find a job pretty much ghosted me after our first meeting. They gave such a wonderful speech about how I was going to get a lot of help finding a job and that i wouldn't be disappointed. well disappointment city here i came first class. total ghosted and never heard from after the second week of trying to talk to them. gave up trying to finding a job threw here. otherwise its an alright place but seriously have enough parking places that people taking classes here and no teacher saved parking spots for teachers who arent even there and we can see are sitting empty for most if not the entire day. Edit to respond to the owner: Sorry but I will not be using your "job finding services". After the first guy Matt Coulter if i remember his name right, was really rude and pretty much did absolutely NOTHING to help me when I had a problem with my internship. Then the job helper person I got to help me find a full time job litterly GHOSTED me, IE: never returning any phone calls, emails and was never there even tho I told they were there on the days they would be in, on 3 separate occasions I wasted my time trying to meet someone who just happened to "not" be there. Sorry your place litterly had two chances to help me and all i got was nothing but rudeness and nothingness. Have a nice dayAlex Brown

This place was the worst college to go to. The counselors don't really help you. They just sign you up for any course they can just so they can quickly boot you out the door not caring to help you find classes for your major or even find a major at all. For the Danvers campus in particular, it's a very snobby, predominately white(and prejudice), unfriendly atmosphere. A lot of them also flow over to the Lynn campus so they bring their snobby attitudes there. The students are worse than the instructors though the instructors can be pretty stuck up themselves. That's just the type of community Danvers is. You will find most of the people who have the edge at this school AND of course speak highly of it are the predominantly white population. I took a Bio 101 class once, and the instructor said in front of the class that blacks usually don't do well because they come from a poor background and lack proper education. It really is not a good place to get your education. Also, a lot of classes they have wont transfer to another college such as their Bio 101 course. You may not know that, but be sure the classes you take are transferable. Be sure to follow up on Rate My Professors website to know if you have a good instructor or not otherwise it's a hit or miss on having a great successful academic year or not. The staff can be very unfriendly on the phone or in person when you go to any of their offices. When you attend this school, you better have direction on what you want to do because No one there is really going to help you unless you have a really good instructor. I transferred out to a better community college and it was one of the best choices I've ever made.Maximum Achievement

I have done four semesters at NSCC in the Criminal Justice program over the past two years. North Shore was a decent place for me to start my college education, as I feel like going to a full-fedged State University for four years is a massive scam and waste of money. Professor Koshivas and D'Agastino were great and I learned a great deal in their classes. The Danvers campus is very clean and modern and much nicer than the Lynn campus, which gave me the feeling of being in a dirty train tunnel. My issues with the school pertain to its administration. I had multiple issues when enrolling for classes during each semester. It seemed like no matter what some piece of paperwork would be lost. Once they even lost proof of one of my scholarships, luckily I had copies. When it came time to cut the check for the semester there would always be an issue with the amount. Sometimes we overpaid, sometimes we underpaid, it was as though they never got the final amount right on the first try. It was frusturating to deal with. Another issue I had was with the WiFi in the school. I would be in the library during the period between classes on my laptop trying to get work done, only to find the connection suddenly stopped and I could no longer connect to the internet. Some days were worse than others with this, it was very unpredictable as to when it would work and when it would not. I won't end up graduating from North Shore as of right now as I'm going the military route instead. However, there are some very good professors at this school, just be prepared to deal with a mediocre administrative department if you decide that North Shore is for you.Millard Fillmore

Most of the bad reviews are coming from people who had ONE bad experience at like the book store or whatever or i gEt tHiEr aDs oN hUlu, though the veteran who shared his story probably has a decent case to make. Anyway I got a business degree from this college and if you actually try you can do really really well here, with great professors and programs like the honors program which gives high level learning at bottom dollar, and wonderful faculty like the folks at PTK, disability services, or the Fuller Center. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to work on regarding graduation rates, the food, no one card system, etc but I couldn't give this place anything less than 5 stars because of all of the wonderful people who give 110% here, especially in those departments I mentioned. If you live in Worcester don't spend 30k a year to go to Assumption, you'll save so much money to come here. Seek opportunity, study for your tests, respect your professors and faculty, and most importantly, do your damn homework; I guarantee you'll be a success at this place if you do all of these things.Clark Kent

The qcc "police" are some of the most unqualified and unempathetic people in the area. There is no doubt they have no training, no expertise in law and zero idea of what they are doing. Maybe they should take some courses while they work their jobs at qcc in criminal justice. Maybe they can get a handle on their jobs. Maybe they should take some training courses with the state police. If they do already, Maybe they should pay attention.Last First

This is an awesome school and I am so disappointed that one teacher ruined it all for me. DO NOT take Professor Jane Joyce accounting classes or any classes from her. She is awful and not a good teacher in general. You will waist your money, time, and probably want to rip your hair out when she talks. I have been at this school for about two years now and never have I come across a teacher like her.Lindsay Vigliotti

I have to be honest about this. Good college when it comes to campus design, some Professor's teaching skills, and assistance for school related issues. Although, the school teaches bad ethics. For example, sports lack discipline. They will teach there athletes to run score boards up. Up by 20 in a basketball game with 3mins to go, they will shoot more three point shots than Steve Kerr. The most alarming thing is faculty will participate in Hazing students. I've watch this with my own two eyes. Call them out on it, and they will just deny it, at least my professor did. I am currently a student there, who help form a club, in order to help students get there basic needs to become a successful student. So just remember, good campus design, some Professors have good teaching styles, good for resources, but terrible place to learn good ethics. To me learning good ethics and applying them is one of the most important, or the most important thing to learn as a student. Would not be the first school I would want to send my child to. Bunker Hill Community College, you need to become a better school. It starts with you faculty.Jason Brown

My alma mater which will always be in my heart till it stop beating (that might sound too dramatic) but hey that’s the truth! I learned a lot, got tons of experiences, got so many American and International friends, exchanged culture and collected precious moments in this place. I really miss the college, my friends, the clubs, the library, single stop, the cafeteria and most importantly I miss my coordinator when I was in a scholarship Program and of course I really miss the professors. They’re all the best!Jean Rahmadan

I do recommend this college as an affordable and easy starting point but be ready to encounter many hurdles in your way and a lot of incompetent staff. Make sure to double check everything you do here, especially the financial aid part. The professors are nice but it’s on you to actually learn the material, the professors rarely will make sure you learned anything. It’s a 3 star college. Great diversity of people, BUT absolutely no political diversity, if you’re a radical leftist, you’ll love this college.Roberto R

It’s unfortunate that I have to write this review but I am in hopes of MCPHS revising their admissions process for the Physician Assistant Program. I know that I was not the only student this year that was invited to interview and then closed out of an interview spot and placed on a waiting list. When I contacted MCPHS they told me that I may not get to interview after all as they had accidentally invited too many people to interview and did not have the resources to open up more interview dates even though acceptances are not on a rolling basis. How does a top tier medical university not have the resources to interview all the students they invited? By choosing to interview solely the people that happened to secure spots first, not only are they limiting the potential of their incoming class and proving that they only care about filling the spots for monetary reasons, but they are limiting the future of numerous successful students who worked hard to get an interview invitation. When I asked Jordan Hunt (admissions counselor) to make sense of this she was unable to provide a competent answer besides that the university messed up and the incoming students are the ones facing the repercussions. I’m not writing this for myself, but for the other students who were too timid to speak up or who had chosen this school as their top choice and then got screwed. I truly feel bad for some of the other incoming students who do not have other options and were relying on MCPHS. I am very disappointed. MCPHS either needs to change their interviewing process to rolling acceptances (interviewing the top tier students first and then going down the line) or they need to use this model but be willing to open up more dates in case of overflow. Side note: They informed me that students on the waiting list could be notified up to a day before an interview that a spot had opened up. Do they not take into consideration that everyone doesn’t live near Boston or works full-time? Extremely dissatisfied with this supposedly “top tier” medical college.Maddy Frank

Hey guys, good for all the students giving great remarks. I don't know if the school has paid you. I must say i was in the nursing program , ( the set that started 2005) the teachers were very bad. Everything was very difficult, out of 50 students that got into the nursing program only 15 students or even less that graduated from the program. Judy Murphy was very racist, no room for improvement. It was a very bad school. I will recommend another school any day any time as matter off fact the school needs to refund money back to students that paid for tuition. All they care about is your money and not the students. It was a very traumatic experience. It was one of the worst decision i have ever made in life to attend that college. I Owe up to 100,000 in debt with no nursing degree to show for. I thank the Almighty God i got my degree from another school with no stress or frustration. Guys open your eyes and look for another school. I wish you all luck in your careers endeavors.louisa ngige

I just finished my second-year in PharmD program in MCPHS. I’m gonna transfer to Worcester to study the accelerated program. I have had great time in MCPHS so far. All professors are very nice and friendly. I haven’t met any professor who’s not willing to help student wholeheartedly. They always have office hours to answer students’ inquiries and to clarify the lecture in case the students don’t understand. There are absolutely no discrimination in MCPHS. It’s all about respect. Every MCP student is very welcoming so we have a very close-knit community in MCP. The program is well-designed and bearable. Sometime I feel overwhelmed but it’s not impossible to pass as many people say. You just need to put time and effort and you’ll be fine. In short, MCPHS is a great university for those who seriously pursuit a professional career in pharmacy and health sciences.Bill Nguyen

If you are someone like me, who wanted to consistently apply the knowledge that I gained inside the classroom, no one does applied learning better than Northeastern. Not only is NU the global leader in experiential education, its Co-op network is the largest on planet Earth. In fact, NU has Co-ops on all seven continents. NU’s Co-op Program also happens to be one of the oldest at more than one hundred years old. As an extremely proud alumnus who lives and works in New York City, I cannot recommend Northeastern University enough. In terms of the quality of educational experience, be it a vibrant urban college life; Co-ops; Student Research; international opportunities like Study Abroad, International Co-op, Dialogue of Civilizations, and Service Learning; or excellent career support, you cannot beat Northeastern. Even today, NU continues to support me throughout my career, socially, and intellectually through a variety of thoughtful online courses for NU Huskies and in-person alumni events in New York. If you are looking for something beyond a traditional higher educational experience, attend Northeastern, the number one experiential university in the world. Before I dive more into how powerful and meaningful a Northeastern experiential education can be, let me say that Northeastern University is an amazing place and I truly loved my time there! NU offers something vastly different than a traditional college education. A Northeastern education is experiential, innovative, and dynamic. Northeastern offers its students unrivaled access to the world. Needless to say, when I attended NU, I acquired four different international experiences for a total of two years working and studying overseas before graduating college. I completed two six month Co-ops, one for a major financial firm in London and another for a multinational tech company in Paris. Also, during a yearlong study abroad at an English university, I was awarded Full Colours, for competing in rugby at the collegiate level. This was a huge honor! Further, I had an amazing opportunity to attend a tech conference in London where I was heavily involved with innovation working groups. Also, with both London and Paris as my home bases and launching pads to the rest of Europe, I got to go backpacking in England, Ireland, Wales, Italy, Germany, and Russia. Back in the U.S., I completed a six month Co-op for another multinational tech company in Oregon. Even though I was on Co-op, the firm sent me to tech meetings in five major cities, including Honolulu and New York City, where I was the main contact for tech vendors.Michael Bruce

Went to the Graduate Open House there today, I have to say that I were impressed. Everything was well organized: the university tour, the application workshop, multiple aid desks to provide information on every aspect in a student life like financial aid, scholarships, a specific info about the differents college… One thing that I enjoyed most was the exposition on Cuba in Northeastern University Gallery. The students did a great job 👏🏾Jusny Mackenson Louis-Jean

Worst school I’ve ever attended! IT service has no phone number to reach out. School health insurance never reply your call. International student advisors hard to reach out. Student health center reply your email 3 month later. NEU just admitted as much students as they can each year to make money, and lack to staff to support any students.Belle

Worst dentist office in America. If you can avoid this place please do. You will for a fact have the worst experience in your dental life. Andy Raddich is the director and can't seem to get his staff to return phone calls or even setup appointments that are needed in order to complete your service plan. This place took my money and have yet to complete my services its been over a year. The last chair is was in there the guy forgot to give me novacain, what dentist forgets to give his patients a numbing agent. There are alot better dental schools to use. Don't be fooled by the Name Harvard, community colleges have a better dental program.Chill Hill

I had a root canal here about 2 months ago. The doctor was very informative and kind. The experience wasn't exactly enjoyable but it could have been worse and what do you expect from a route canal procedure. Anyways I had to pay our of pocket since they don't accept mass health. It was my back tooth number 2 so I had to get an endodontic procedure. The total was $493.00 and as long as my tooth will benefit and survive through this them it will be worth it. Hoping for the best but overall a good hospital. The location isnt too far from the train station. Pretty nice interior design as well.Jared Thresher

Worst experience ever. There isn't a single person that understands what an emergency dental issue is. I called emergency number on Sunday and waited til Tuesday for care and was disconnected twice over 6 phone calls trying to get seen for incredible tooth pain. Only to be given an appt for an evaluation instead of Endo care. I would never come backBob Francey

I've been coming to the dental school as a patient for several years. I started because after studying in England for several years the dentists they're had done a significant amount of damage to my teeth which meant a lot of restoration work back in the U.S. it started with a root canal that had to be redone that was done on England and got infected. My insurance was all used up for the year with one root canal and crown. Then they told me that another root canal was getting infected and this one also needed surgery, but my dental insurance was used up for the year and it would be months before the end of the year. But it was starting to hurt so this couldn't wait for months. Since I wouldn't be able to afford it without insurance, someone told me that it is much cheaper as a patient at the dental school at Tufts. I arranged for an appointment and became a patient and have been one for years. Due to it being a dental school, the appointments take a lot longer and are booked for 3 hour time slots (most times it may take less than that, sometimes though, it may need a little longer). Everything is double checked by a professor every step the way so no mistakes are ever made. Also being students they tend to be very cautious not to hurt you, whereas experienced dentists don't really care about your discomfort and just want to get the job finished. With a good dentist that can be a good thing as they will finish berry fast and not hurt you at all, but some dentists are not very good. This had never been an issue here. Every couple of years the student that I was assigned to graduates do a new student has to be assigned. The appointments might take longer, but the price even if they don't take your insurance can't be beat. If they do take your insurance, I would definitely use them. I'm glad I found this place.Chris “BostonGreekGeek” Vaxevanis

Great School, Great education- what more can you ask for? (Perhaps lower tuition but oftentimes in life, the best things need to be paid for.)Vahe Yacoubian

My daughter (4y/o) needed to be put under anesthesia for a dental procedure and Dr. McCarty and "fireman Dave" were AMAZING at handling the situation. My daughter gets extremely anxious when around doctors but Patrick and Dave made sure she felt comfortable and made her laugh a ton. While she was falling asleep, they kept asking if I myself was okay. Obviously seeing your child, especially that young, being put under is incredibly stressful and anxiety inducing. When she was finally asleep her father and I waited in the waiting room, shortly after Dave came out and talked to us for a good while to, not only make sure we had all the information, but to make sure that WE were okay. He was extremely personable and made us feel so much better about what was going on. During recovery, Patrick and Dave went above and beyond for her and for us. I cannot say enough good things about them. Not only are they great people but her teeth are as good as new! 10/10 people & doctors. Love them! Can't thank them enough❤️Kasey Baglio

We were nervous about putting my son under for some dental work that had to be done. Dr. Patrick McCarthy was highly recommended by my son's pediatric dentist. From the first call to McCarthy Anesthesiology to the last treatment date went above and beyond. Dr. McCarthy was able to put my child and both of us t ease within minutes of meeting him. Dr.McCarthy went over the procedure with great detail and he was able to address our concerns with gentle and kind manner. My husband and I felt very comfortable with our son being put to sleep by Dr. McCarthy and his team. I would highly recommend Dr. McCarthy and his team if your child needs to be sedated for dental treatment!! Best Pediatric Dental Anesthesiologist in Mero West/Boston area!!June Chellar

They were very clear explaining the process and answered any questions we had. Both gentlemen were very nice, and showed a lot of passion for their job. They made my son very comfortable and tried to make a game out of the process so that he would be more at ease. Recovery was a little different and I’m not sure if it’s the doctor or anesthesiologist who makes the rule for waking the patient up but I feel that it could have been a lot more comforting due to the fact that parents weren’t in the room when recovery started. I think children would react better if they had a familiar face to see.Kaileen Kelly

Dr. Mujica is the most caring dentist I have ever been to. She explains every aspect of procedures and gives you honest advise, and answers every question with details and patience. Everyone in this office takes careful Covid precautions and make you feel safe! Post #2 I have now had a consultation with Dr Park and Dr. NIUSHA NIKKHOLGH. Both doctor's looked at my X-rays and did a few health checks of one of my back molars. The result, I will have a root canal soon, not the outcome that anyone wants to hear. During this process Dr. Mujica explained every detail that I needed to know about the procedure and excellent care that I will receive. In short, Dental Partners of Boston, every doctor cares about everyone who walks into their office. If your nervous about going to the dentist ( like I was) your anxiety level drops because of the amazing treatment plan you will receive! A few months ago I has a procedure for a dental implant. This is a procedure that I know very well, my brother-in-law Dr. Murry Awrach was a Periodontist for 40 years. Immediately, I knew I was in the best care with Dr. Guzman, he is a Diplomate in the field of Periodontics and husband of Dr. Mujica. The procedure was explained to me in careful details; bone-graph, followed by a post. Before the put the actual Titanium post in, Lisa, Dr. Guzman's assistant, took a Cat scan. This insures a perfect placement of the implant. After the scan, Dr. Guzman took time to explain to me what the procedure entailed. The scan was really interesting to view; the placement, spacing and where the nerves are located. This put me totally in a feeling of calm! And having Lisa, ( Dr. Guzman's assistant) also keeping me calm, Lisa! She is the BEST! This procedure went perfectly, my comment to Dr. Guzman, " You have gifted hand" Now to wait for approximately 3 months for the bone to grow around the Titanium implant. Once that is checked, I will have the tooth restoration completed with Dr. Mujica, as reported in my previous review, she is a total "Rock Star" dentist. Total trust in Dental Partners of Boston!Steve Savage

Dr. Frydman is a gem! She has a delightful demeanor and an outstanding fund of knowledge. She is patient and kind and explains complex topics with great care. It is truly important to her that I understand the underlying problem, the approaches to treatment and the expected outcomes. She is diligent and committed to finding solutions to problems. She is among the very best clinicians I have ever had and I recommend her highly. The remainder of the staff are courteous and friendly and the facility is spotless!Ilyssa Golding

I started going here because Dr Shiro Kamachi and it’s been several years now. I would highly recommend him and this practice overall. I’ve had a few different hygienists, Victoria being my current, and they have been great. I’m very happy with Dr Guzman who’s done some extractions with and up coming implant procedure on a dead tooth. Multiple services under one roof really great to have—and never any pressure to have everything done with them—great staff all around.K Ng

Update: I have been working for 8 months as a dental assistant and they prepared me so much for it. I feel like they really taught us what to do for the actual day to day office environment and they really helped me. Of course the beginning when you start you still have to learn other things but I feel like I was so prepared because of my teachers I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to become a dental assistant! I had initially put up a negative review because of a situation that turns out to be my misunderstanding, completely my fault for not waiting to speak in person because email sometimes there can be some miscommunication and that's completely my bad! Once I went in and spoke to them I realized I was completely wrong and I apologize profusely! So embarrassing that was all me. Clarissa and Onneita are like my little guardian angels! Idalia and Angelica as well! They have been amazing I could not be more happy and so grateful that I've had these people in my life building me up and helping me get to where I need to be. They work so hard on every single students behalf I don't know how they do it! Another part of the program I absolutely loved besides the staff is that it's all inclusive so basically you don't have to worry about coming out of pocket seperately for textbooks, for tests, uniforms, anything like and it helps take stress off of the process. I couldn't recommend this place more it's like you have this team that has your back and help you get through the process and make sure you're successful as possible.Kiley Bueler

Going to Lincoln Tech Somerville was the best decision. Just like many of you, Covid put me out of job and I needed to create a new game plan. The whole admission, Education and faculty are the best group of people I have ever met. I am a student currently wrapping up my dual certification program. From registration to scheduling the experience has been amazing. Everything that I learned online and on campus I have been able to put to to use in the field. All the instructors are the best. The medical industry is growing and they want smart, quick and talented individuals to join there team. Listen, Apply and discipline yourself, these folks will help you in everyway to finish your selected program, Graduate and find a job. You will challenged and pushed everyday. Don't wait for a pandemic to start a new career. Do it because its your calling to care for people. Thank you Lincoln Tech Somerville team for making my decision to go back to school an easy and worth it.Damian Knighton

I had a very good experience in Lincoln, everyone is so nice including Esther who received me with a very good attitude everyday, and the teachers are the best they will help you in everything at any time, you will be treated as a friend not a student which I can say made me feel very comfortable and welcoming. I can say that I enjoyed this program very much, I didn't even feel the 9 months I was in here. I completely recommend you join this program.Sonia Buenrostro

The dentist is the last place anyone wants to be BUT this practice makes going to the dentist so much less dreadful. Dr. Smith is the absolute best. She goes above and beyond for her patients. The entire staff creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They make you feel comfortable through the simplest and the toughest procedures. Every time I go for my teeth cleaning, Jennifer always makes the experience fun and relaxing. Thank you for he great experience!!!!Erynne Kelley

I normally don't write reviews however, Dr. Smith and Jennifer are the best duo I've had in dentistry for a long time. They are compassionate, caring and really take the time to make sure you are comfortable the entire time. I could sing their praises all day but ill keep this review short. If you are afraid to go to the dentist because of bad experiences. Dr. Smith and Jennifer will turn that around.Mark Best

My experience with the Dental Office at Chestnut Hill can be described only as exceptional. Dental hygienist Tawney took care of my teeth and did a thorough job. I felt comfortable during the procedure; Tawney was genuine and professional. Besides the cleaning, she taught me how to take better care of my teeth which I highly appreciate. I'll definitely come again 🙂Jakub Lipták

My appt was great!! Ashley was super thorough and very gentle. I am a former dental hygienist so I had high hopes and was NOT disappointed! Dr Stevens was also very thorough! He took the time to chart everything in my mouth (which I haven’t had in a long time), discuss my X-rays and also my periodontal charting results. I know I am in great hands with them! In addition, the office is super updated. Dr Stevens has all of the latest technology and I really like that. I would definitely recommend making an appt here for your dental needs. Finally a shout out to Michelle Stevens who recommended me to her dad because she will be one of my dentists when she graduates from Tufts Dental and Ellen at the front desk will accommodate you 100% for what appts you need! They got my husband and I in for back to back appts at times that worked for us. They really are the best at Dental Arts of Boston! Thank you!KJ Casa

I had another great visit yesterday at Dr. Steven’s office. Gina is always so polite & always pleasant on the phone reminding me of my upcoming appointments. Ellen is always friendly & polite & caring towards me & my wife. Dr. Steven’s & Michelle are always on their A game. Dr. Steven’s is always caring & walks you each procedure. He’s always pleasant. Michelle is very caring & always is there if I need water, etc. I’ve been going to Dr. Steven’s practice since the 1980’s. I highly recommend Dr. Steven’s as a excellent dentist & his staff. Ashley is always kind & is a very good dental hygienist.Peter Buccieri

I highly recommend Dental Arts of Boston for everything from cleanings to implants. Dr Stevens and Dr P do a great job and also really care about their patients. They were so flexible to fit my crazy schedule. Ellen at the front desk is a gem, too. I moved away but still make the trip into Boston because a really great dentist is so hard to find. If you're looking for a new dentist in Boston, you've found the best one!Morgan Kelly

Dr. Gheddaf Dam is truly the most talented, caring, and knowledgeable dentist I have ever worked with! I was under her watchful care and expertise through my entire invisalign treatment, crown lengthening surgery, and veneer treatment, where she not only made me feel safe and secure, but also gave me amazing results I could only dream of! I trust her with anything related to my smile, and she even came in on a Saturday to help fix an old temporary I had broken. She goes above and beyond, and I am 100% satisfied with my end result, which is a broader, whiter, hollywood smile!Meghan Spivak

An outstanding clinic, patient-oriented, they care about you as a human. I visited the clinic to establish care. I was referred to Lauren to start my cleaning. She is amazing, very professional, friendly and super kind. On my birthday, I received a birthday card from them with a starbucks gift card, yes, this is for real. I am not chaning my dentist any time soon and very happy that I found them to take care of my teeth. Check their instagram account.Hamad Alibrahim

I’ve never felt as ‘comfortable’ in a dentists office as I do at Prudential Dental. Everyone is so friendly, and caring. Clearly they strive to provide an excellent patient experience and provide the best service/treatment they have to offer. I highly recommend any of the dentists (have had the chance to see them all – yup!), and their fabulous hygienists!Alexandra M. Senatore

I was satisfied with the Invisalign process and service received, which straightened my teeth to my satisfaction. Having spent >$5000 on the treatment, I was keen to maintain the benefit and thus paid for the permanent lower jaw retainer bar (at a cost of $595). This initial bar remained intact for just over 3 years (while I continued to wear the night-time retainer). To my surprise, the bar eventually came loose and needed replacement. Therefore, Smilebar replaced the bar for an additional cost to me of $595, which I figured was reasonable given my initial experience. However, this newly replaced bar came off after just over 4 weeks while eating breakfast. Smilebar agreed to replace the bar at no cost, given it came off within such a short time. However, the second replacement bar came off after just over 4 months, this time completely (i.e. including the bonding agent on all 4 teeth) while eating toast (and during which time I continued to use the night-time retainer). When I once again contacted Smilebar and explained my dissatisfaction and frustration with the bar, I was told that I would need to pay yet another $595 for a replacement. I was also informed that the bar itself is only warranted to be replaced free of charge within the first 2 months post-installation. I was taken back that Smilebar took no accountability or consideration that perhaps the retainer bar was not being installed correctly, especially considering this latest iteration came loose in its entirety, including the bonding agent. Additionally, the lower bar retainer is meant to be a permanent apparatus, which should last upwards of 10 years+ and not months if installed correctly. Smilebar failed to provide quality service beyond my initial experience and also failed to disclose that the device, following installation, would only be warranted for 2 months. I would seriously consider pursuing other practices that are transparent with their patients and can provide a level of expertise that reflects the cost of service being charged to their patients, which is why I am providing a 2 star review.Michael Curley

I have been a Smilebar patient for a year now and my experience has been nothing short of amazing. When you walk in, the front desk greets you with a warm welcome. The office is a chic, clean and classy boutique space. I’ve met with Dr. Nairaki and Dr.Ma, and they have both been very knowledgeable and friendly. I was amazed when I started seeing progress within the first 3-6 months, considering how severe my case was. I am currently in the refinement process and I moved to Texas half way through my treatment. Smilebar is still very accommodating – we have virtual check-ups to track my progress and they mail me my aligners. They’re easy to reach when I have any questions or concerns. I also used my insurance to cover my treatment. My insurance was making it difficult and denied my claim initially but the team went out their way and made the process painless – my insurance ended up reimbursing me. If you’re thinking about correcting your smile, don’t think twice about Smilebar. I couldn’t be any happier with my new smile. Highly recommend!Yohana Amanuel

The team at Smilebar is fantastic! Everyone is so upbeat and cheerful that you can’t help but catch that happy vibe when you walk in the door. The office runs like a well oiled machine with great music. And wait time is super slim to absolutely none, which I know everyone appreciates! After 12 months my daughters orthodontic journey is finally over. I can’t stress enough how pleased I am with her final results. Her smile is GORGEOUS. Working with Dr. N and his staff has been absolutely wonderful, and they have become almost like family to us. They are extremely kind, passionate, and customer centric. The staff always make sure that the patient understands the treatment, and educates them appropriately. We have, and will continue to, recommend this practice to all of our family and friends. Thank you so much!!Kesha S

I simply can not say enough for this sensational dental practice. The entire staff could not have been more welcoming. They provide a super comfortable relaxed environment and are the MOST PROFESSIONAL available. Not only do they work as a team but they provide a family atmosphere of dedicated people who immediately make you feel a part of it. This a true model as to how a business should be run. I am so grateful for the job that Dr. Rivera and his assistant Naomi did on my neglected mouth and the new smile they created that words can not begin to express it Basically, I was the the guy who was going to go to some dental school or out of country for dental work and that would have been the biggest mistake I could have made!!! Dental Partners of Boston are the very best, all one has to do is read their reviews.and look at my smile…. Thank you all!!!Jeff Whipple

I was new to the Boston area and a friend referred me to Dental Partners of Boston in the Prudential Center. The quality of service here is very good and I think all of the dental professionals are extremely thorough and committed to providing the best in dental care. My one issue is that I am generally waiting 10-15 minutes past my appointment time in the waiting room and then waiting an additional 10 minutes in the dental chair before I am seen by the dentist. I would encourage other patients to account for this especially if they are trying to get an appointment in before the work day begins. Other than that I really enjoy the dental services here and would continue to recommend this office to friends.Noelle Edwards

My dentist is skilled and very informed, it is unfortunate that I was told I needed dental work that wasn't entirely necessary. The office staff quoted me how much I would need to pay, I paid that amount, the procedure was performed, and then I was asked for 5 times the amount that I had already paid. I would not have gotten a crown replaced if I knew that the staff didn't check to see if I was eligible to be covered. If the procedure had been put off 6 months I would have been covered. The staff clearly doesn't care who pays, the insurance or the patient; I, however, do care and don't appreciate being conned into thousands in debt.Max Rice

Dr Kumi Kamachi has been my dentist for years and years. She is the absolute best in her field and even tops her husband, Dr Shiro and Dr Guzman, "the big guy" in charge. She is so observant of my needs – like when I am a bit fearful of a procedure. She knows just how to talk me down off the ledge and put me fully at ease so that whatever the procedure is, I am comfortable. With her tiny hands and big muscles, she is able to control her tools to perfection which brings amazing results. Given her affiliation with a major university dental school in Boston, she is always able to explain to me any new technique, procedure, tool or application in a way that is easily understood by my marketing / non-medical brain.Alicia Kullas

I was so impressed with everything/everyone at DPB! First, everyone was so nice, and worked to help me to feel comfortable. From J, at the reception desk to Lisa and Dr. Guzman. Everything is impeccably clean and managed. Very impressive! After speaking with Dr. Guzman and Lisa I felt a wave of relief. He was so professional discussing multiple issues regarding my oral health care and treatment plans. I am looking forward to working with them, and having future Dentist visits for the first time in a very long time.JBlu Wave22

One of the best and most comfortable experinces at a dental office, I have ever had. The staff was excellent and made me feel at ease. The x-ray tech/dental assistant was great at her job and was able to get my first complete set of x-rays I have had in years. On top of everything else, the dentist I saw was very caring, and did a great job calming my fears. The exam was extensive and I left with a great looking smile. I will recomend DPB to my friends and family.Eric Van De Wark

Look no further than Boston Smile Center for all your dental needs. This is the practice to come to for knowledgeable, ethical and well experienced professionals.Nancy ,at the front desk ,sets a calming tone from the moment you enter the office. Excellent communication is her forte. Joe, the hygienist performs routine cleanings thoroughly and with the utmost care. Cleary, he is passionate about what he does. Dr Sasson will assess and explain in detail his approach to what work needs to be done. I originally came to him after experiencing terrible consequences from a former dentist. He calmly laid out a plan for corrective restoration work. This included an accurate timeline which proved to be exactly as described. He discussed costs and welcomed questions. The results were excellent. And this was achieved throughout the height of the pandemic! This is the place to go to for all your dental needs.Helene Dunlap

I recently finished Invisalign treatment with Dr. Sasson and his team, and it was a pleasant and convenient experience from start to finish. I did not know much about the treatment prior to becoming a patient at Boston Smile Center, and it sounded like a daunting 8 months. Nancy was very helpful in coordinating with my insurance company and explaining the payment process. I was always able to get an appointment at a convenient time, and I was made to feel very comfortable at every check-up. Dr. Sasson and his team were genuinely excited for me upon seeing the excellent final results of the treatment. I enthusiastically recommend Boston Smile Center for Invisalign and any routine dental treatments that you need!Lynn McCourt

I went through Boston Smile Center for my Invisalign journey. I had my initial consultation with Dr. Sasson in October 2021 and felt very confident with going forward. He took the time to answer all of my questions, look at and assess my teeth, and did not rush our consult whatsoever. The Invisalign process took me about 9 months total. At the start, it seemed daunting to remember to always wear my aligners and adjust to the slight discomfort of a new aligner, but these feelings quickly dissipated. Wearing the aligners everyday quickly became a normal part of my lifestyle. I actually feel weird when they are not on! I highly recommend BSC for your Invisalign experience!Rachel Feragne
