Great experience! They really were gentle. Great bedside manner from everyone I interacted with. I only had to wait about 10 minutes to get into my appointment.

Was able to meet with the Dr. less than 12hr after when i first booked on zocdoc. Everything was exactly as described, and staff were really friendly!

It was absolutely the best! I needed a dentist after recently moving to a new city and ZocDoc helped me find a great one that took my insurance! Could not recommend more. Also, the dentist office I was recommended was stellar and exactly what I was looking for!

My experience was great. I was visiting Boston and had a dental emergency. I was treated quickly and professionally, and I was not charged for the Dr’s appointment. Absolutely recommend.

Dr. Zelkha is incredible and very professional. I felt comfortable throughout my visit. He answered all of my questions patiently and took the time to tell me about a variety of options. The dental assistant Ola was also wonderful and helped me relax and get set up in the beginning. Highly recommend booking with Dr. Zelkha!

This was my first dental appointment in Boston, was very nervous before booking it through. Staff and Dr.Zelkha are professional and patient. Clearly explained me what the issue and walked me through the treatment plan. 100% recommended

Absolutely amazing experience. So very caring & compassionate!! They went above & beyond to accommodate me on a tight schedule to use my dental benefits before the end of the year. I had delayed dental care to to some larger health issues, and have had a rapid decline in dental care. They made me feel so much better, and adjusted schedules to get everything done.

The provider is friendly and polite. She explained to me clearly. But the online booking is not very reliable. I booked 1:30 and the location was Waltham. When i received the email the location was Burlington. I called Waltham and Burlington both receptionist told me no booking under my name.
