Yes, the dentist!

I chose Dr. Maria based off location and Yelp reviews.  The receptionists were beyond friendly on the phone and in person.  My hygienist was so professional and calm- she explained everything she was doing, and took the time to really go over my x-rays.  I couldn't believe when she was done cleaning my teeth, because it was so painless!  Dr. Maria also had a great personality, and was very knowledgable and helpful.

Besides friendly staff, the chairs had massagers in them which was a great surprise... And at the end my hygienist brought in a damp hot towel to clean my face.  I was shocked- little things make a big difference in making a generally un-enjoyable  experience shockingly pleasant.

To top it off, they send email and text reminders if you want them which is super convenient.

It was so exciting to find this gem! read less

The massage chair you'll get your cleaning on is a nice touch! Dr Maria is kind, honest and professional. She's never tried to convince me I need a new filling or upsell in any way, as most other dentists have. The office is clean, bright and welcoming. They have early morning and evening appointments. Have never had an issue street parking. I live out of state now but still make sure to book here when I'm back home. read less

My hygienist (Betty) was fantastic. I hadn't been to the dentist in quite a while and was very nervous about having my teeth looked at. She was kind and gentle and made sure to make me feel comfortable. Though I only met Dr. Kreemer for a brief time she was sweet and also made me feel really comfortable. After having bad experiences in the past with dentist's offices, Dr Maria's office was a breath of fresh air. read less

She went above and beyond her call and was patient explaining exactly what is involved in each procedure and thoroughly walked me through each  of my options. She's so awesome that I am going to switch from my dentist half a mile away from me to instead troop the 52 minutes to her practice. 10/10 highly recommend read less

So, there's no way you will miss your appointment.

Then you arrive and they have a Keurig Coffee while you wait. Then you seat at the dentist chair, and the chair has a massaging system!!! I am not kidding. Also their X-rays are digitalized and you can see them on a computer screen. They also have this cool little laser that measures the thickness of the inside of your teeth, so you can catch a problem way before it shows up. This would give any place at least 5 stars, but then there's the people. Everyone here is incredibly nice and personable, big smiles and friendly people, yet very professional.

I've moved a lot in the last 10 years. So, I've had about 5 different dentists in my life, most of them excellent places, but I can safely say this is THE best dentist and dentist experience I've had so far. read less

I just came back from my bi-annual dental cleaning and, as usual, I am very happy with the experience. I am currently having my teeth straightened with Invisalign and I cannot wait to have Dr Vasilakis whiten them next year. read less

I happened upon this office based on the yelp reviews and I am very grateful. Everyone from the receptionists up to Maria is friendly and professional.

I have been here three times now, two cleanings and a cavity. The atmosphere is very relaxed and Maria fully explains everything before proceeding. In addition, she is not pushy when it comes to additional services. She suggested that I get a mouth guard, but didn't hound me like a used car salesman. Also, when we discussed teeth whitening, she said I could use Crest white strips if I had more time and didn't want to spend as much.

I recently moved to Southie, but keep coming back here because this is a dentist you keep for as long as you stay in Boston. read less
