I just took my daughter for her second cleaning and x-rays. They did an amazing job making her feel comfortable and keeping it fun for her. It is such a relief that she now thinks of the dentist as a fun place. The prices aren't crazy expensive either.

The orthodontic and dental care given is above and beyond any I have experienced. Sanitation and safety protocols have always been outstanding. I am pleased that the additional steps taken now put patients at ease.

I greatly appreciate Dr. Himelhoch’s patience and kindness. She makes what can be a stressful experience a good one. She doesn’t just rush through the visit and move on to the next but takes an active interest in her patients. Thanks, Dr. Himelhoch!

Professional, clean, and comfortable. The staff are friendly and know what they’re doing. Recommended for your dental needs. We have a 7 and 3 yr old. They were happy when leaving the practice, that tells you something. They measure temperature, provide hand sanitizer and gloves before entering.

Dr. H and her ENTIRE staff have an endless supply of patience and kindness, especially with nervous little ones. My youngest is hyper-afraid of dental procedures. Dr. H and her staff moved things along quickly and efficiently to minimize stress. By the time we were done, my 7 yr old admitted it wasn't as bad as he thought. Thank you SMILES!!!

I worked with Dr. Himelhoch to receive 3M Clarity Aligners. She is extremely professional and did a great job straightening my bottom teeth. My teeth look amazing after only 6 months with the aligners. Highly recommended!

Our daughter had a horrible experience with a dentist when she was 4 and refused to have a cleaning for 18 months. She would SCREAM and KICK so much they couldn’t do the cleaning. Then we brought her to Dr. H. Now she asks to go to the dentist- and has had 18 months of dental visits without a fight. We are so grateful for the kind and calming way Dr. H and her staff helped us.

I have been coming to Smiles in Framingham for many years— since I was 4 and I’m now in my twenties. I’ve gone through maintainers, head gear, retainers, and more. I’m very happy with my smile. Everyone here is very friendly and on time, and I always leave with shiny, clean teeth!

Dr H is amazing. Both of my kids have been seeing her for a year. She explains everything to them and me fully, and any time the kids have had work done, she calls in the evening to check on them and answer any questions. She's also not overly aggressive with orthodontics. I am so glad we switched to her.

We have been going to Dr. H for years. Both of our kids go this office, and one just got her braces off and the other one will have them put on shortly.

The staff is great, and just as importantly Dr. Himelhoch cares. There have been at least two incidents where I called in while the office was closed for vacation, and she called back personally and met me in her office outside of work hours.

For us, we were looking for someone with the education and experience that she has for our kid's braces. Nothing bad to say, sometimes busy and you have to wait a little but they do keep things moving

Dr H is the best. We've been bringing all our kids to her for years and she has always been extremely professional, warm and helpful as we had to learn about braces, retainers, how to manage cavities, fillings etc, etc. She takes the time to explain all options, risks and benefits carefully and always calls our home after a procedure to make sure our kids are doing well. Her front desk staff and hygienists are fantastic! Our kids have never complained about going to the dentist. They feel right at home with Dr. Himelhoch. Five stars!!

I have been going to Dr. Himelhoch for over twenty years. She took care of both of my children's teeth from cleanings to orthodontics. I have always trusted her judgment when it comes to any issue to do with teeth. I was so happy with my children's teeth that when I needed to have some orthodontic work done I chose Dr. Himelhoch because I have such faith in her. Her staff is also so very nice and professional that it makes going to the dentist fun. I had Invisalign treatment done and I am very happy with the result. I highly recommend Dr. Himelhoch.

While I admit I hate my braces, I am very pleased with the results. I am 2 years into what Dr. Himelhoch says is a very hard adult ortho case. I am in the home stretch. Dr. Himelhoch is very detailied, which is why I chose her. The staff are nice. The practice has more kids than adults, but I'm OK with that as a parent myself. I would recommend her...and have.
