First rate experience. I had let four years go by since my last dental appointment. Both the dentist who examined me and the hygienist who cleaned my teeth were fabulous. I have to especially recommend MJ, the hygienist. I was quite nervous about the cleaning because of the length of time since my last cleaning. He and his assistant were incredibly kind to me and understanding of my nervousness. He did a fantastic job cleaning my teeth, especially given how long it has been since the last cleaning. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Girschek and his team at Gentle Dental in Waltham are terrific. Inside the unassuming storefront on Main Street is a beautiful dental suite and the best dental practice I've ever experienced. Dr. Girschek explains issues clearly and prices his services fairly. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Girshek and his assistant Jenny were excellent. Dr Girshek was going to save my tooth, but when it became clear that the extraction was necessary, he performed it gently and thoroughly. Thank you very much

Dr Girschek and Jenny are fantastic. They explain everything before starting. The facility is modern and spotless. As pain free as a dental visit can be. Highly recommend.

I had a cracked wisdom tooth. My regular dentist referred me to an oral surgeon, who said they could get me in for a consult in 6 weeks or so. I called Gentle Dental and they had me come in at 10am the very next day. Dr. Paredes and the rest of the staff made the extraction process calm and painless. I also have to give them points for total transparency about costs. I was out the door with no more cracked tooth in under 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
