My comfort is their priority. My exams included a free cancer screening for my tongue. The Dr. Is calm and gentle checking my gums. I appreciate the kindness from the office manager Lana, the years of being part of the community shows. If your looking for a hometown dentist for your family to grow with, I recommend Dr. Michael Shulkin, DDS.

The team at Moody Street Dental somehow makes a visit to the dentist actually pleasant. They are warm and welcoming in general, and when it came to the work they were incredibly gentle, very informative, always presented options, and talked through them with me. I honestly had a few things done - fillings, a deep clean - that I thought would have to be a bit painful, and they really weren't! Highly recommend! Overall, I trusted them to provide topnotch reliable care with great "chair-side" manner.

Unfortunate experience. Went to the office multiple times, second time to get a few fillings done which was all I wanted, just to be referred to a different dentist for a retreatment and crown.
Was charged out of my insurance 2 times just to sit in a chair and be told to go somewhere else. While they were saying I should save my insurance for the bigger work that needed to be done...
Then when I went to “Premier Endodontics” where I was referred by Moody st Dental, I was then charged over $700 and they were not able to help me before the end of the year when my insurance renewed so it was

I had been going to a dentist in Newton and he kept pushing me to do procedures that I wasn't comfortable with so I decided to try find somewhere closer to home. They are really very kind and welcoming. I am probably one of the most difficult patients because I'm a baby when it comes to anything really haha. But they literally hold your hand through any procedure you may need. I have to be numbed about three times to even be able to tolerate it. I'm still numb writing this review! A crown that should take probably about 30 min took 2 hours because I needed extra care. I really recommend

I had a wonderful experience here ! The dental assistant was super friendly and careful with me when taking pics for X-ray of my teeth. The dentist was extremely personable and friendly, made conversation with me, and was very careful and didn’t hurt my teeth at all. He also noticed when I got nervous and stopped to talk to me and made me feel more calm. Would definitely recommend to a friend !

Moody Street Dental is by far the best dental experience I've ever had. When I've gone to other places I've dreaded cleanings because they are painful. At Moody Street Dental, the experience was just the opposite. The cleaning was not painful at all, and was actually somewhat relaxing. My wife and I have also had fillings, root canals, and extractions done here that all went just as smooth. I highly recommend using this location.

Dr. Shulkin is truly an exceptional dentist and extraordinary person. I was in the most excruciating pain and didn't know what to do. I had an oral surgery emergency and called his office at 3 pm without any patient history, his office told me to come in and he would help. I was in by 4:30 and out by 5 pm with no more pain. I needed to get my long overdue, severely decayed tooth extracted and he whipped into action. Not only did he perform the surgery expeditiously, he did so with warmth, compassion and the utmost professionalism. I can't thank Dr. Shulkin enough and hold him in the highest

Dr. Shulkin has been taking care of me and my wife for over 10 years.
Initially I started going here because I lived nearby. But I have since then moved away about 40 miles out to Worcester. But I still come here for all my dental work.
This is a nice Family practice. And the Shulkins are good people.

I have been visiting moody street dental for around 7 years. Dr. Shulkin's team has proven to be very professional and knowledgeable. I've had extensive and great quality dental work done at his office: from cleanings to fillings to crowns to implants. Almost anything you can throw at them - they can handle. The team has done a great job addressing my dental issues. Also, Dr. Shulkin's office works closely with a variety of other top notch dental professionals in the Boston area (for certain items like gum surgeries or root canals they either have dental surgeon come in to the office

I feel that I can trust Dr Shulkin and his staff with my family's dental care because they take the time to know us. Me and my family are not just another customer to them. I especially like that he isn't part of any conglomerate dental practice. Their prices are very reasonable and they will work with any dental insurance. They have been very flexible when I have had to reschedule and always try to fit you in. I won't just trust anyone with my or my family's teeth. If your teeth are healthy, so aren't you! Thank you Dr Shulkin and Lana!

IF I COULD GIVE NO STARS I WOULD!!!!
Went to Moody Street dental and will never go back!! After my first cleaning I was asked to come back the following week to look for cavities and pockets that can cause gum disease. For the cavity check he took pictures, put this little sensor on my teeth that would beep if there was a cavity (he said I had at least ten but wouldn't know how deep they were till they drilled them) Then he did the pocket test and told me I was the one of the worst cases he's seen. He informed me I needed $1500 worth of work done (between cavities and a deep gum cleaning

I was seen at Moody Street Dental this morning for some teeth sensitivity due to cracked molars. I have a dentist I see reguarly in Boston that does a wonderful job but I wanted a second opinion on a price he recently quoted me for my cracked molars. I explained this to the dentist at Moody Street when he asked me if I had a regular dentist. This dentist did not smile once at me and acted as though I was wasting his time. He refused to do an x-ray and merely put a scope in my mouth that took pictures to be displayed on the office screen. Then he told me I should go back to my regular dentist

DO NOT GO HERE. I told them I had a piece of my tooth missing and asked what they thought I needed. After a x-ray they told me what I already told them plus told me I'd need $3,000 worth of work. Then they charged my insurance an over whelming amount that left me with a balance. Never have I been to a dentist for a simple check up and come out with a bill. I repeat DO NOT GO HERE.

Follow up: I had to see another dentist because the sensitivity was so bad in one of my refilled teeth. He made an adjustment and has me using sensitivity toothpaste. If that doesn't work he's going to try to replace my BRAND NEW filling. Worse comes to worse root canal. All this after having no problems or pain before visiting Moody Street Dental.
