Me and my family have been visiting Dr.Gail from the past five years for different dental procedures. I'm really thankful for her kind nature and dedication towards her work. She and her assistant Stephanie always attended us with smily face no matter what time of the day it was. The care/treatment is amazing!

Recently got a few implants by Dr. Fernando and I'm extremely please with the services I received. The staff there go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and a little bit more at ease with going to the dentist. The process of an implant was very smooth and I would recommend anyone looking for a friendly,knowledgeable caring staff and dentist to check out this office. I finally have gained my smile back after years of hiding my teeth,& for that I'm forever greatful.

Dr. Fernando is hands down the best dentist I have EVER had. And I have been to many throughout my life. She is highly skilled and extremely intelligent. She is kind, genuine, honest, accommodating, and compassionate. What more can you ask for? She is so personable too! She's an animal lover, and always asks about my cats. We share stories, and laugh together. Basically, she makes me feel like family. She truly is exceptional. If you're considering a new dentist, give Dr. Fernando a try. I promise, you won't regret it!

One of the best decisions I have ever made. I have been visiting different EnDo clinics in the past weeks for getting a root canal service. The big-name firms in downtown or Brookline are not providing reasonable service and also keep marketing their expensive 3D scanning, which is not covered insurance. Dr. Fernando is so nice to squeeze me in her busy schedules since my tooth was open by other dentist and I am in pain. Everything was neat.

Dr.Fernando is a wonderful person and very trustworthy. I have been her patient for 15 years. She makes you feel very comfortable before she starts any work on you. I used to be nervous and scared having any dental work done but since I've been dealing with Dr.Fernando she takes you out of your fear. She's an awesome person, very caring about her work and her patients. Her assistant Stephanie is also nice. They work great together and make you feel comfortable. So I recommend anyone who needs dental work, to go see Dr.Fernando. She will turn your frown upside down and into a beautiful smile. I love Dr Fernando, and you will too.

I was a patient of Dr Fernando for fifteen years, both for regular checkups and the occasional dental crisis. I cannot recommend her and her staff sufficiently for their friendliness, kindness, and very high professional competence. Leaving Dr Fernando's care was one of the harder parts of moving away from the Boston area.

This practice help me when I had an urgent dental need during the holidays. I called a few other places but Dr. Fernando was able to get me right in to repair my chipped front tooth! Thank you again!

I have been going to Dr Gail for almost 2 years now, and the service she/her team provides is always top notch. Dr Gail thoroughly explains the procedures she's going to do, and gives me time to ask any questions. When there are different treatment options available, especially ones that are cheaper, she discusses the alternatives and the pros & cons on each. Implants are generally very costly, and Dr Gail worked with me to get the most cost efficient package. During covid, I feel safe going to my appointments because they are compliant of the safety protocols.
