You can be assured that our staff have been specifically trained on sterilization procedures and its importance.

I have worked on Dr. Wolferts dental team for 30 years! In that time, I have watched 5 year old patients grow up, get married, and bring their own kids in for treatment. My joy has been to make their dental experience as relaxing as possible by putting many birdfeeders outside of our office window along with plants and of course corn for the squirrels! Patients have a wonderful time watching the birds fly up to the window, its like a ballet!

When patients walk into our office they are greeted by their name and made to feel welcomed immediately. Ive experienced walking into offices and feeling like an intruder. Thats not going to happen here!

I have taken many courses over the years to improve my knowledge of Dental insurance in order to help patients utilize their benefits to the max. Ive enjoyed meeting new patients and helping them get through their treatment plans one year at a time, using their insurance and creating payment plans, etc. I enjoy watching these tenacious patients coming back year after year and finally hearing Dr. Wolfert say Thats it, you are finished, you met your treatment goals.

I have been a part of Dr. Wolferts team since 1999, although taking some time off here and there to have and raise my 3 sons. After several years I decided to see if Dr. Wolfert had any part time openings on his team, I missed my Dental Office Family! I started with a few hours and now I am full-time and cant imagine working for anyone else.

I enjoy assisting patients in achieving optimal dental health and the smile they deserve. I do this by helping patients comprehend and maximize their insurance as well as creating payment plans that fit their budget. I love the life-long relationship I have developed with our patients.

I had a dental issue that needed to be dealt with asap. Dr Wolfert was able to see me right away and dealt with the problem. His expertise, his reassuring manner, and his willingness to work with his patients' schedules whenever possible are the reasons I have been been his patient for for 30 years.

Dr. Wolfert and his staff are polite, professional, friendly and, most importantly, do an excellent job whether it's Dr. Wolfert's dental work, cleaning by the hygienists, or billing and scheduling by the support staff. Dr. Wolfert also is careful to provide his patients with different options along with cost estimates for each.

I used to dread going to the dentist. Pain, bad news, horrific sounds. That has ALL changed. I look forward to gentle, kind treatment and good advice. Thanks for changing that paradigm.

My scheduled appointment was on time. The office staff was very helpful and pleasant. Dr. Wolfert was very professional. He explained thoroughly what he was going to do. I felt at ease. I choose not to have a shot to numb the pain. I had very little discomfort during the procedure.

He is the best Dentist in Massachusetts. In 2013 I had an accident and needed extensive tooth repair. Dr.Wolfert and his team made the process extremely quick and painless. The work they did included a full tooth replacement and a cap. It still looks great today and keeps me confident in my smile. I go to their office for regular cleanings and the entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable! Thank you Tooth Boss!

I saw Michaella today for my 6 month cleaning/checkup. She has a wonderful touch while cleaning and removing any plaque buildup. I have no residual pain whatsoever following my cleaning. Michaela is so pleasant and does a wonderful job. I then saw Dr. Wolfert regarding a problem with a crown and we discussed the best solution to the problem based upon my concerns as to appearance and cost. Dr. Wolfert explained the various procedures and we discussed what was the best way to handle the matter. He listens to his patients and provides a solution amicable to each situation. I highly recommend the Toothboss!

Like many people, I used to feel stress, anxiety, and even fear when thinking about an upcoming dentist appointment. Its been several years since I switched to Dr. Wolfert and I no longer dread the dentist. He and his staff take very good care of me and never hurt me. I've been re-conditioned. Now I enjoy my dental appointments - and you could too. Just call him.
