Newton Dental Associates

I started going to Newton Dental Associates in 2020 during the pandemic. I had a dental emergency and my family dentist wouldn't return my call. Dr. Berik responded right away and had me come in that day. Personally she is an awesome person, super down to earth and extremely caring. The care she has for her patients is readily evident by the personal attention she provides. Professionally, she is incredibly knowledgeable and stays on top of her field with new developments as is readily evident just by chatting with her. My quality of life has markedly improved ever since she addressed my misaligned bite that was nagging me for decades. Since then, I've had multiple other procedures done there and each time my experience has been great. Her practice is popular for a reason and that is due to the extraordinary level of care both she and her staff provide their patients. I couldn't recommend her practice enough - I think they are the best around and wouldn't think of going elsewhere.

Let me start by saying I rarely review unless I am really taken off guard and feel people should be made aware of a situation. I made an appointment as a new patient recently. I expected to have a cleaning and an exam by the dentist and possible x-rays if I was due. When I arrived I was informed that all new patients spend an hour with the dentist and then had to schedule an appointment for cleaning at a later date. Cleaning was the primary purpose of me scheduling this appointment. Mine was scheduled for the same day several hours later- conflicting with when I had to pick up my children from school. I was able to make other arrangements to get my kids picked up from school and they were able to move up my cleaning slightly, to their credit, because arranging another cleaning was looking like month's down the road. I was then presented with a rather large bill when I exited. I have no problem with this model in general, however, I feel like this should be fully explained when a new patient books an appointment so there are no surprises. I also believe that pricing should be transparent as well. I feel this would be more ethical and professional way to handle a practice of dentistry that is quite different than the majority of practices that most patients will have encountered in their lives.

Newton Dental Associates provided me with the best care I have ever received at the dentists. They were kind and friendly, prioritized my right to autonomy and decision-making when it came to my own health, and made me feel like I was in good hands when I got my wisdom teeth removed. They were willing to come early just so I could have surgery before I have to travel. I highly recommend this location to anyone who is looking to be seen as the expert of their own body and needs, who has had past traumatic dental experiences and are looking to be taken care of well, and to anyone who is looking to have a seamless and speedy recovery post-dental work. Thank you to the whole team for taking such great care of me!

I had a eecent visit with my exceptional warm, competent and encouraging hygienist Annette. She gives me guidance to protect my teeth and gums. They fit me in that same day to see Dr. Walsh and Rose his assistant who filled a cavity close to the root. I was nervous but I did not feel a thing. He said my tooth might be sensitive to heat and cold when I got home. I have had no symptoms. I wear a partial denture that Dr.Walsh created for me at least for 15 years. He is artistic, precise and has excellent skills no matter what problem you present him with. I have such confidence and feel very fortunate and appreciative to receive my care from this team of professionals. Warm regards, Patty Marquis

Make sure you ask if you are in network and ensure they don’t bill your insurance for the expensive comprehensive exam before you have them do a benefit check. If you want just normal cleanings. I do not recommend coming here. They are more geared towards cosmetic dentistry

Fantastic as always. They are kind, compassionate and completely professional whether it's a simple cleaning or something more significant. The equipment always seems to be updated to what, I assume, is state of the art and the entire suite is meticulously clean and comfortable. I've been going here for over ten years and couldn't be happier.

Dr Erickson is knowledgeable and up to date on current trends in dental care. The staff are always thoughtful, friendly and thorough. I even drive out of my way to Newton Dental because it’s worth it.
