Testimonials

I am writing as my family and I have been going to your center for a number of years and while we appreciate the friendly and knowledgeable staff, I wanted to let you know how exceptional Amanda at the front desk was at my last few visits. I've been dealing with tooth pain that started with a filling and finally the temporary crown procedure yesterday. She was so kind and caring and her call to let me know that a cancellation opened up so that I could come yesterday and not wait until September was a joyous surprise.
She is always so friendly, kind, courteous! She is a definite asset to your team! 930 Comm Ave

I have been coming to BU Dental for many years now and have had my teeth cleaned by many different hygienist but none come close to Adam. He is so thorough and professional. I always feel like he did the best job possible. I never feel like he is rushing or working in a half hearted distracted way. I appreciate what he does very much and wanted you to know what a gem you have on your staff. We are all very fortunate. 930 Comm Ave
