Great Hill Dental - Somerville

Dr. Tsering and the support staff of Great Hill are competent and caring!

Dr Peter Okwerekwu aka “Dr Peter” knows how to make you feel at ease when he’s doing a procedure. He will tell you what he’s about to do as well as retelling you as he’s doing it. He’s very caring. I’m happy I switched to Dr Peter.

Over the past year, I've gone to Great Hill for cleanings, fillings (Dr Michalowski and Rosa), extraction of my wisdom teeth (Dr Wilkes), and orthodontia (Dr Doshi). I received a very high quality of service and professionalism at every visit, and all of the work they've done went very smoothly. I would highly recommend this office for any dental service.

This location is extremely unprofessional. The front desk staff are lazy and will deliberately omit information regarding billing. When i called to schedule appointment that representative told me that they accepted my coverage. I later found out that though they accepted my coverage they were not in network.

I've witnessed patients come into their office livid, yelling about how procedures were not billed to their insurance and or how it was not explained that their insurance didnt cover it now they are stuck paying a large bill. The front desk staff laugh and giggle. They treat the occurrences as if they at a comedy show instead of actually assisting the patient/customer. If you choose to do business with this location, make sure that you request a pre-estimate to be submitted to your insurance to make sure your not stuck with large bill after the procedure

I completed Xrays there. There was one tooth that they hygienist named FLORA appeared to be concerned about, she asked another dentist to step in and have a look. He looked and asked me if i was feeling any pain there, I said no. He did not believe me so he proceeded to ruffly bang on my tooth with the end of one the cleaning instrument...VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!

I had a couple of fillings put in with Dr. MICHALOWSKI, The fillings were fine however during the filling procedure both he and the hygienist assisting him, ROSA were having a discussion about other staff members, which the Rosa seemed to be upset by...I was treated like I wasn't even the room hearing the convo even though they working my teeth. I must say, in spite of this experience, ROSA is very nice. She would always smile and say hello when i saw her at my office visits.

The Periodontist Dr. Goodman did a poor job on my deep cleaning, He completely avoiding cleaning one area of my teeth where I have a double tooth, and the gum there desperately needed cleaning. He also did not use the tools needed for a thorough cleaning of the gums, He should have used sonic or an ultra sonic scaling tool to clean the pockets at my gum line but he only use hand held scrapping tools. Thankfully because ive completed thorough cleaning before a different dental office I knew that he was doing the bare minimum service with my cleanings so I purchased tools of my own to do the best cleanings I could do for myself at home.

The final straw was my last cleaning with the hygienist FLORA, which i was running late to. I apologized once I arrived, and was grateful when she still agreed to see me, however during the cleaning she attempted to lecture me about being on time in a way that I was not comfortable with. I told her that I had already apologized and had not planned on being late for the appointment... we proceeded with the cleaning, twice during the cleaning she sprayed a tooth that I told her was sensitive with cold water. I kinda got the feeling that she did it on purpose because she was upset with my response to her attempted lecture about the tardiness. She did offer me two sample sizes of the toothpaste that assist with sensitivity afterward.

This location is a mess. I would not recommend doing business with them.

Visited as a new patient and had a great experience. Very friendly staff and dentist, and they are clear and up front about costs. I highly recommend coming here especially if you are nervous about your visit, you will feel very at ease.

I really enjoy my visits to this dental office, it is conveniently located and is always nice and welcoming. The facilities are well maintained and upscale, and the staff is always very helpful. I have since moved apartments but I continue to come to this location for my dental visits.

I just switched to Great Hill about a year ago. Each time I go in, the staff is friendly and accommodating. My hygienist remembers who I am and does a fantastic
job during my cleaning. I am very happy, that Great Hill is close to
my home just a few minutes walk from my home.

Dr. Michalowski and Melat were absolutely wonderful! Melat did a great job with my teeth cleaning and answered all of my questions and concerns. Dr. Michalowski thoroughly explained the procedures I needed to undergo and was compassionate and highly informative throughout the process. I highly recommend this dental office, and both Dr. Michalowski and Melat.

While a little hard to find (it's inside Harvard Vanguard, skip the check-in on ground floor and go straight to 4th floor), the experience was really great. I felt super welcome, everyone was very courteous and professional, and Dr. Okwerekwu was very friendly and consulted me well.

Dr. Peter is clear, kind, and patient. I have recently had a lot of cavities completed and he and his staff made the experience as positive as possible. Of all my dentists over the years, Dr. Peter is ranked as my #1.
