Always a smooth experience at MDA. They are thorough in their description of services, give you all the options and walk you through what they feel is the best approach to your dental care. They've recently changed over with ownership, and there's a younger group of professionals who are managing the business. From my perspective, the service and care is still on par. Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for a new provider.

Due to 2 years of COVID restrictions and other impediments, yesterday (5/3/22) was my first time back at the Medford Dental Associates (MDA) in 3 years. I was surprised and a little saddened to hear that my former dentist (Dr. Colaneri), and also Dr. Lepore, had both retired. They always provided me with great dental care. But they have left the MDA in EXCELLENT hands! (I would have selected a six-star rating of "Excellent" if it had been available; "Very Good" just doesn't cut it.) From the front-office staff who greeted me cordially as soon as I approached the desk; to Amanda the dental hygienist who did an expert and thorough cleaning--using some impressive new dental tools(!); to Dr. Dena Shuster who reviewed X-rays with me and explained necessary "next steps" in a clear and understandable way, it . was . just . a . FANTASTIC experience!! I'm 65 years old and have had some good and not-so-good dental visits. But this is the first time I've ever left a dentist's office actually looking forward to the next appointment. I know that's weird to say, but there it is. :>) Thank you, MDA!

I haven't been there in a while, badly needed a cleaning . I was a bit hesitant because the practice was sold and it was mostly new faces working there, including my longtime dentist Dr. Colonerri who had retired. Hope I spelled his name correctly. Well I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful front staff. Amanda did my teeth cleaning. She was very friendly and professional and did a great job, she didn't rush me either. I told her about a few ongoing issues I have and she Had Dr. Dudlek? take a look and explain my options. He seemed compassionate and professional. All in all I hope to be able to continue to get the great care that I've been getting there for the past 17 years.
