Verified patient
Terrible experience. Travelled 30 miles out of my usual routine to wait 30 minutes after appt start time for staff to tell me I did not have an appt. I had several confirmations from Zoc that my appt was at 3:00 on this day. Rude front office staff. Severe communication issues when trying to discuss situation. They have lost a client.
Verified patient
Love it!
Dr. Dai and Dr. Zhong are highly skilled dentists. Even the very difficult case like my wisdom tooth extraction can be handled properly here. The office staffs are friendly and professional. Perfect choice for family.
Verified patient
This clinic is powered with amazing doctors and freshly new equipment and supplies. Dr Dai and Dr Zhong are the best dentists you could find around Greater Boston area. All my families enjoy each dental visit, not only routine checkups (cleaning up or deep cleaning) but also advanced treatment. My teeth #3, and #14 were extracted due to severe cavities. Dr Dai did great jobs on the extraction and implants, 100% pain free. She knows everything from root canal to personalized implants. I strongly recommend people with dental concerns to talk to her. Super professional and patient. My recent visit is to remove the wisdom tooth, and Dr. Zhong is super patient and knowledgeable. I did not feel any pain after had the wisdom tooth removed.
Verified patient
Doctor Dai is simply amazing ! I was really scared because my last dentist experience was not the best but she is so gentle and explained every procedure to me
Verified patient
Dr. Dai was consistently thorough and gentle, addressing all my questions during the appointment. All the office staff was exceptionally friendly and efficient, ensured minimal waiting time. They fostered a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for my visit. Grateful to have such a fantastic team for my dental care.
Quick and easy dental exam and cleaning, x-rays. I wanted to find someone who accepted my Delta Dental insurance. This was very easy to schedule online, got the cleaning - all very convenient to finally accomplish, since I had been waiting awhile since my previous cleaning / exam.
Nice and thorough teeth cleaning, showing great to patient’s’ teeth health, patient explaining in details about the condition of patient’s teeth health, great recommendation to improve patient’s health! great experience to interact with dr. Dai!

good service and good skills
Verified patient
Great experience with Dr. Ruoxi Dai! She is very thorough and detail oriented, talking through each of the steps. She is proactive of making a plan, without unnecessary tests or procedures. Her bedside manner is fantastic, and she is very kind and patient. I am thrilled to have found this practice!
Verified patient
I had an overall positive experience seeing Dr. Dai for the first time. The office was clean and quiet, and the check-in process was easy. The dentist chair was comfortable, and Dr. Dai explained everything she was going to do. I liked that Dr. Dai did the entire cleaning rather than just stopping in for a few minutes after a dental hygenist, as I've experienced at some other places. My only complaint is that I had to wait a little over 30 minutes to be seen, but my appointment was at the end of the day, so it's possible that they were uncharacteristically backed up.
