Northborough Dental Associates

Experiencia fantástica: My first appointment with Northborough Dental. Everything went smoothly. Dr Donohue and staff were great!

Experiencia positiva: My first visit the assistant took me in the room she was quite, didn’t say hello or say her name just right in on doing the X-rays. The dentist came in and again didn’t say hello introduce herself just checked my teeth told me my next steps and left the room. I felt a bit uncomfortable. I don’t know their names because they never greeted me. I went back the very next day and my hygienist was very pleasurable and comforting. The dentist came in and this time she was pleasant, introduced herself, asked if I had any questions. This time I felt much more comfortable. Samantha and Dr. Donahue were perfect! Made me feel comfortable, they were personable and continued to check in on me. The office was friendly, personable and explained the insurance process as well as out-of-pocket payment that I would owe. Scheduling with Leah was smooth, fast, and easy. The office was very punctual. They took me in at the exact appointment time and I was out of the office in the exact time I was told. Seamless, fast and on schedule. Overall, I am happy with my visits at Northborough Dental and I’m hoping to continue to have positive dental experiences going forward. Thank you! Kerry C

Experiencia fantástica: Had a cavity filled and a crown done! Amazing work! Crown feels good and it was essentially pain free minus a small sting from needle. I’m a big baby and they made it anxiety free! Love this office!!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing professional staff from beginning to end. It was a very tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. Dr Donohue was so gentle, thoughtful and reassuring throughout my whole exam and procedure. If your looking for a new dental office and dentist this is the place.

Experiencia fantástica: I am very happy with all the staff They are both professional and it is a friendly atmosphere I absolutely could not be happier with Dr Donahue and her assistant They make a great team I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great dentist. I don't know the others but if they are anything like Dr Donahue they will be GRRREAT

Experiencia fantástica: Clean facility. Friendly staff. Make you feel comfortable while doing exceptional work. Highly recommended. No one is better cleaning your teeth than Janice! No one!

Experiencia fantástica: As always, excellent care and friendly environment. My family and I have been there for over 20 years!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Pabany is both extremely skilled and extremely kind. I could not ask for more.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional, pleasant and thorough

Experiencia fantástica: Northborough Dental takes the fear out of going to the Dentist with a staff of friendly professionals who care about your care! Everyone there is very focused on customer service - quite refreshing. No unnecessary upselling. The hygienists are all very competent and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: I had such a great experience! From the moment I walked in, the front staff was welcoming, professional, and kind. They also made scheduling my next appointment super easy. Dr. Donohue was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which really helped me feel comfortable ( I have anxiety!) The hygienist was gentle yet thorough. The office is modern and clean. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for quality care and a friendly, professional team.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been coming to Northborough Dental for the past few years and I love how friendly and professional the front staff is every time I come in for an appointment. Clear and efficient communication from the doctors and hygienists as well. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend office. Lovely front desk staff and the office manager Leah is wonderful. Truly amazing office with knowledgeable staff. Everything was clean and I felt very comfortable. My hygienist was thorough but gentle. I would recommend this office to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this office!! All the staff are so kind and knowledgeable. I will not go anywhere else. Most of my friends and family go to this office as well. We are all so happy with the treatment received and the way you are treated like family. Thank you all!!!!!

Experiencia negativa: I wonder if the owner realizes that your front desk and manager can make you loss patients? We are very disappointed with the front desk and the manager Leah. They are not responsible, not reliable!! In addition, your office (likely it’s from the manager Leah) had changed our long-term dental hygienists at times without noticing us, even though our regular dental hygienists were working on those days when we came. I can’t recommend this place and definitely don’t want to work with its front desk and manager!

Experiencia fantástica: My doctor is great , and Maria was the best Always fell better when attended by Maria she hads the best way to calm me down when I’m going through any procedure

Experiencia fantástica: Very good. Have dental care here 8 years already.

Experiencia fantástica: On time. Professional. Prompt and pleasant. A terrific office with my dental care on their minds. Thanks!

Experiencia negativa: I went back to Northborough Dental Associates after moving back to the area. The care level is fine, the people are friendly, but there have definitely been a few surprises that are significant. When I came back as a “new” patient, my first appointment was just a check up and a cleaning had to be scheduled separately. Not the end of the world, but meant find more time to go back just a few weeks later. My bigger issue came over a filling. I needed an old filling replaced. They used a composite filling without any discussion of the options or cost. Problem was, my insurance doesn’t cover composite fillings on posterior teeth. When I talking to billing about this there was definitely no empathy. The explanation was that they always use composite unless they are instructed otherwise and they only do an estimate is requested in advance. I’ve been to dentists all over the country (and world) and I had always had them initiate the cost conversation is there were options in care. So, if you go to Northborough Dental Associates make sure you know your insurance coverage inside and out and makes sure you ask about options and the costs (because you can’t count on them the initiate the conversation m). The net-net for me is a filling that cost 4x my expected amount.

Experiencia fantástica: This is an excellent dental practice that truly prioritizes patient comfort and high-quality care. The dentist explains everything clearly, offers thoughtful treatment options, and never makes you feel rushed or pressured. The team is friendly, gentle, and attentive (especially Heidi, my favorite hygienist), and the office is clean, modern, and well-organized from check-in to checkout.

Experiencia fantástica: The team at Northborough Dental is wonderful! Very personable and knowledgeable. Always a great Experience at this office!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience with Dr Connors. Couldn't have been better!! Thanks so much

Experiencia fantástica: They really care about their patients and show attention to detail. They walked me through every step and explained exactly what they were doing so it made sense.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff. Everyone is very friendly and professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Northboro dental is very professional and a great team to be with!

Experiencia fantástica: Great Dental Office from the greeting when you first opened the door and right thru my comprehensive evaluation the entire staff was amazing.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly and welcoming staff. Dr Pabaney is amazing !

Experiencia fantástica: The Dental technician was very thorough and conducted a professional cleaning of my teeth. Additionally she informed me about areas in my mouth where calcium removal was critical to stop gum loss or damage. She also informed me of alternate flossing methods and tools to better remove calcium build up in the back of the mouth. Great experience!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a minor repair needed and they were able to get me in swiftly. I was a bit apprehensive since I had seen one of the former dentists for years, but I was super happy with Dr Donohue. She explained what was she was going to do and told me what to expect next, every step of the way. She is also very respectful and polite to all the assistants and office staff. Highly recommend Dr Donohue.

Experiencia fantástica: Very courteous and efficient service. Well communicated information.

Experiencia fantástica: Always the nicest and efficient staff, I actually look forward to going to the dentist. Linda is my favorite Hygienist

Experiencia positiva: When I arrive for my Northboro Dental cleaning appointment. I was Surprisingly greeted by a new hygienist. It turned out my regular hygienist is there, but the office moved me to fill the new hygienist’s schedule without bothering to mention that in the multitude of text messages they have sent me before the appointment. The office manager denied knowing how the appointment was changed, But since my old hygienist did not change it, it must be the manager. they should notify their long-term patient who expects to see the same the hygienist they booked with six months ago. there seemed to be a lot of hygienist and Dentist turnovers in the last 2 years. I had a good experience with hygienist Sarah and dentist though.

Experiencia fantástica: Always a positive experience. Clean facilities and cheerful, knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly and professional staff, clear and efficient communications, and clean and bright environment. Flexible and accommodating for medical emergencies. So far, each visit has been pleasant and reassuring. I always leave more informed than I arrived. I gladly entrust them with my health.

Experiencia fantástica: I and my family have customers for 35 years. I enjoyed seeing Linda again after many years. She is a skilled hygienist. The dentist quickly diagnosed a problem with a partial plate and quickly fixed the problem.

Experiencia fantástica: An absolutely great dental team here at Northborough Dental Associates. Sarah is by far one of the best hygienists I’ve been with. Dr. Bridget makes every effort to address any questions or concerns you might have. Very skilled team to include the admin staff upon entry & exit of each visit!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently switched to Northboro Dental from another dental office, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The entire staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable from the moment I arrived. I especially appreciated the care provided by the hygienist, Janice. She was highly professional, cleaned my teeth thoroughly, and helped me feel at ease throughout the entire process.

Experiencia fantástica: After 22 years of never having a cavity i finally got a small one on the very back of my mouth and i was HORRIFIED. I scheduled my appointment with Dr. Pabaney and told him i was extremely anxious about this appointment as i have never had a cavity in my life. He was very understanding and told me everything was going to great, made me laugh as much as possible. What really highlights my procedure with him is that he talked me through the whole procedure, constantly reassuring me how amazing it was and always checking to see if i was ok. As someone who was really nervous, this really helped. His assistant Elisa was also very assuring and super gentle. She even let me hold her hand for the Novocain shot because i was such a wimp lol. At the end, Dr. P checked my bite and adjusted everything until i was comfortable and he showed me the beginning and end result. VERY professional and amazing at what he does. 100% recommend him for any procedure, he is so efficient and clearly has a passion for his job.

Experiencia negativa: I was a patient at this office for over 20 years. I had the dentist that opened up the practice. After he retired, he left me in good hands with three very capable dentists as well as most of the office staff did not change. They are now owned by 42 North Dental Care, PLLC practice and this company is owned and operated by dentists Dr. Samuel Shames, DMD. and Dr. Ronald Weissman, DMD. Since they took over all the former dentists are gone and last I knew most of the staff had left. They put crowns on three implants I had done at an oral surgeon's office in December 2023. Last week, 18 months later, they sent me a huge bill. A week later I got an automated call asking for me to pay over $2500 right then. This is just one of the most absurd situations I have ever been in at a dental office. The doctor that did the crowns, Dr Pabaney, was the worst dentist I have ever had. I only went to them because I was with the practice when I first started the implant process. Not only was it a total nightmare just getting them to call me back to get an appointment but his chairside miner was rude, he had THE WORST BREATHE OF ANYONE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED and he is supposedly a dentist. Even his dental assistant knew he smelled, the look on her face was a look of horror, even she couldn't take it. Since I've moved to the area there are so many other dentist's offices that you have to go anyplace else. Also, look for who the owners are, if they have anything to do with 42 North Dental Care, PLLC stay away. MY REPLY TO THEIR RESPONSE...I already called them and aired my grievances. They said unfortunately the billing calls are an automated system and it cannot be stopped. My only option is to use the finace company they recommend durring these robo -calls. It's either pays us in full or use our finance company. It was a 20 minute conversation with a person at their office, she was polite and did appoloize. Remember this procedure was a year and a half ago.

Experiencia fantástica: The experience today was terrific. They were on time to start, procedure was very professional. I would definitely use dr Donahue again. Her assistant was very professional also.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was great. Reception, Sammie, the desk were professional, kind and easy to deal with. Thanks

Experiencia fantástica: The women that run the front office are very professional and understanding. They do great job with scheduling and explaining everything a patient would need to know. I just received my six-month cleaning. Everything went great. The dental hygienist is thorough and communicate everything you need to know about your exam. Extremely satisfied

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great experience with Dr Donahue, I am very happy with the work I had done.

Experiencia fantástica: I have received excellent care from the dentists, the hygienists, and the office staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Front desk was very nice and professional. I was able to go in right away. The clinical staff did not mess around. It was a pleasure to meet them. The office was very clean and organized.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this Dental Office! I am a chicken when it comes to the dentist and had to find a new dentist after moving to this area. I feel so calm with them. I don’t think you could be in better hands

Experiencia fantástica: The team at Northborough Dental are the best. Dr Crowley and her staff are pros at what they do from cleaning to all manner of dental care.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome experience at Northborough Dental Associates. Scheduling was seamless - was easy to get an appointment at a convenient time. When I arrived, the staff at the front desk were friendly and welcoming. The appointment started on time and my hygienist, Janice, was excellent with the cleaning and x-rays. I moved into the exam with Dr. Donohue who was professional, really knowledgeable and welcoming. Finally, Lylan assisted Dr. Donohue with a couple of fillings - and they didn’t hurt even a little. A week later, the fillings are not sensitive at all…and they’re smooth. I have honestly struggled in years past to find the right dental office for me. This is a high quality operation. Will recommend to friends and family.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Northborough Dental are so kind and helpful. Dr Crowley-Le is such a talented dentist. You're in good hands with their care

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Pabaney is amazing. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Haven't been to the dentist in a while but they all still made me feel so comfortable while still being quick and easy :)

Experiencia fantástica: Recently had two appointments for scaling/planing, plus the initial new-patient visit. Dr. Donahue and the technician Janice were fantastic. They are both friendly, professional, caring, and genuinely made me feel relaxed and taken care of.

Experiencia fantástica: Super friendly and great dental services..

Experiencia fantástica: My crown procedure went on time with out a hitch on a snowy day. Very professional and great care was experienced during my visit. The crown they made fit and looks great!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone there was very kind and friendly and extremely helpful! First experience at a dentist office that I actually enjoyed.

Experiencia negativa: This is not a locally owned dentist office, they are run by the Private Equity firm 42 North Dental (same parent company as Gentle Dental). Was constantly getting “upsold” on extra services and treating cavities that didn’t exist. Gotta keep the private equity overlords happy. Transferred care to a real local practice and no more cavities, coincidence?

Experiencia fantástica: I have a fear of dental offices and having work done. This office is wonderful and is very helpful with my anxiety as well as doing dental work in a very comfortable manner. A⁺

Experiencia fantástica: I find my experience with Northborough Dental from front end staff to dental hygienist and dentist is always positive. Everyone is always willing to help.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone I have seen at Northborough Dental Associates has been excellent at their job and made me feel like family.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Crowley is amazing, she did fantastically work for me. I am happy with the time matter they were able to get me in for an emergency. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a patient of Northborough Dental Associates for better than 30 years. Professional, courteous and friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful dental office. The team blends seamlessly from checking in with any of the pleasant desk area ladies and Sean to seeing one of the caring dentists, helpful and sweet assistants and/or any of their kind, skilled hygienists. Very clean and bright.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff has been very professional and very caring. They make sure that you know what they are doing and why.

Experiencia positiva: They do a good job. Xrays and cleaning went very well. Was quick and comfortable.

Experiencia negativa: I recently visited Northborough Dental Associates for an initial exam, but unfortunately, it was not a good experience. The dentist insisted that I needed a deep cleaning, despite having had one less than a year and a half ago. When I requested to opt for a regular cleaning instead, the dentist refused, saying I needed to get records from my previous dentist before they could proceed. I felt uncomfortable and sensed that they were more focused on using my new insurance for costly procedures than on addressing my actual dental needs. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and would not recommend this practice based on my experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Each time I have an appointment, my expectations are blown away. I had the pleasure of seeing a new dental hygienist, Sarah, as my previous hygienist has retired. Sarah’s calming demeanor and gentle spirit put all of my nerves at ease. She explained everything right before she did the procedure in my mouth without me having to ask and throughout the cleaning she continued to ask if I needed to stop or sit up and rinse. I will only be seeing Sarah from now on. The check out process was a breeze, with the help of Leah explaining the billing process to me without any hesitation or judgement. Leah ensured that I understood the billing agreement that I entered into and answered all my questions thoroughly. Will definitely be continuing all my dental care at Northborough Dental Associates!

Experiencia fantástica: Northboro dental always manages to accommodate their patients, which is why I have been going there for years.

Experiencia negativa: This place has gone down hill. Dr Howells would always check you out after your check up. Not no more sat in the chair for 20 minutes only to find out no one was coming to final check so now I need to come back a couple day’s later so the dentist can look at my teeth knowing I needed attention on a tooth I came back. At that point I made 2 more appointments 1 for measurement and 1 for crown installation. Got there yesterday at 5 PM sitting there at 5,25 Pm in the waiting room going really walk out of never going back there again if they cannot handle the work load then don’t schedule it

Experiencia fantástica: Need to update my previous comment. Dr Crowley is still an excellent Dentist and professional but no longer with the practice. I haven't had another dentist provide treatment to me yet but will update my comments once that happens My recent experience was with Beata, a hygienist. She is professional, friendly and thorough. I have no need to change the five star rating at this time.

Experiencia fantástica: Been going to Northborough Dental Associates for years. Never had a problem. Nicest people.

Experiencia fantástica: My previous dentist of about 20 years was very good but very expensive, a little far to drive, and sometimes pushed procedures which were probably not yet necessary. When he retired, and the new guy he brought in told me I needed a crown replaced at a 11% increase from the similar crown I got the year before, I did some research and started seeing Northborough Dental Associates about two years ago. Very happy I did .... the staff and Dr. Donahue are great. That "bad" crown is still just fine. They just cleaned up and re-cemented an old gold crown that had come off while I was away in Maine for two weeks (I put it back on temporarily with dental cement from CVS) .... and they did not try to sell me a new crown or unnecessary repair work on the post.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough about Northboro Dental. My old hygienist retired but I still received Fantastic service, always takes the time to listen to any concerns or questions I have and is very detailed with their exams. Couldn’t be more pleased.

Experiencia fantástica: Beats is simply wonderful. She is just a joy to know!

Experiencia fantástica: My first visit on June 10, 2024 to Northborugh Dental Associates impressed by the friendly coustomer service and outstanding cleanliness. Dr. Ammar Pabaney, DMD and his dental assistant were knowledgable, able to answer and explain a questions, caring, courteous, etc. Best Regards, Vladimir Ghazaryan.

Experiencia fantástica: My first visit to Northborough Dental, fast and friendly service they were able to accommodate an emergency, impressed by the entire staff that handled my visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Ive been going to ND for years and love the staff. This was my first time meeting Dr. Pabaney and I liked him a lot. He Was very informative and clear in what I needed and didnt need. highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Prompt service - at scheduled time. Competent. Not painful. Informative dentist and hygienist. Efficient front desk - checking in, making next appointment.

Experiencia negativa: SCAM Dental Office. Local resident with small chip in front tooth. It needs a simple bond! My regular dentist is away for 2 weeks and I wanted to fix now. This office says I need a full exam first for $169, they wanted to take full xrays, and then I can make an appointment to come back to have the chip corrected. No need for full xrays for a small chip in my tooth. All the reviews are based upon the previous dentists/owners that are no longer there. New Owners obviously don't know how to grow a new business! I was looking for a closer dentist, I'll try some of the others in the neighborhood.

Experiencia fantástica: Professional and friendly staff. My cleaning was thorough and Kelly was great!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Northboro Dental Associates for 10+ years. I always saw Dr. Crowley and friendly hygienists. Recently I went to my cleaning appointment and found out that Dr. Crowley has left the practice. I met Sarah and Dr. Donohue for the first time. Sarah was super friendly, courteous, knowledgeable. I felt really at ease immediately upon meeting her. Dr. Donahue was friendly and explained everything in detail. I would highly recommend Northboro Dental Associates!!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff here are so kind, caring, and friendly! My 2 year old came here for his first dental cleaning and was made to feel very happy and comfortable. We will definitely be returning!

Experiencia negativa: I was not happy with my appointment on January 4th. I thought I was going to have a 6 monthly dental cleaning. When I arrived, I had a different hygienist and she took some X rays. After looking at them the dentist said I would need a deeper cleaning under anaesthetic. I would also need a root canal, crowns and leaky fillings replaced. The hygienist asked if I would like to make my next appointment. I asked for an estimate first, and this was for a total of over $6000! I was shocked by the huge amount. There were no discounts for seniors or for people paying their bill immediately like there were a few years ago. This is not fair for a retiree without insurance. Prices keep on going up. I wasn't given any cleaning during my appointment and was very disappointed. I will look elsewhere for my dental care.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Pabeny. Professional no nonsense team. Needed emergency care. First time visit. I'll be going back

Experiencia positiva: My 27 yr. old Special Needs son had a very pleasant experience.

Experiencia fantástica: The practice has a wonderful new Dentist, Doctor Donohue. She has a gentle touch, wonderful demeanor and she does a terrific job!

Experiencia positiva: Love the doctors and staff. Waited 1/2 hour for 10am appointment- seems way to long to get that far behind. Needed to come back for loose stitch and waited another 1/2 hour for that appointment made only an hour before it started!

Experiencia fantástica: Northborough Dental is a pleasure to work with. Great customer service and bed side manner make going to the dentist fun!

Experiencia fantástica: Switched to this dentist a few years ago and haven't looked back. I'm a wedding photographer and my whole job is to tell people to smile, so I have to have a fairly good smile as an example for them. I never dread going to the dentist when it's visiting here.

Experiencia fantástica: The hygienist was so kind and patient with me. The whole office runs very smoothly and efficiently. I’m happy to be going to this practice.
